    We came here with a large-ish group right before Christmas, and had a great experience! We made sure to make a reservation, and I'm glad we did because it was pretty busy in there. We were seated right away. We ordered so much sushi, and everything came out quickly and tasted amazing. It was fresh and flavorful! My favorites of the ones we ordered were the crab rangoon roll and the crazy girl roll. But honestly the menu is sooo huge that you really can't go wrong. I'd love to come back and try more items!

    A friend and I were in the area and stopped in on a Sunday afternoon. They were relatively busy. We sat at the bar (to cheer on the Lions as they had small TVs over the sushi bar). Sushi Zen fits its name, relaxed environment while maintaining lovely decor. The service was fantastic. Our service Dov, was just the right level of friendly and engaging without ever being too much. He seemed to appear at exactly the right time. We order ginger salads, miso soup, and three rolls to split. The miso soup was a bit more flavorful than I've had at of restaurants, and we really liked it. The special California and the Alaska were the same as other good sushi places. My friend wanted to try the no name roll, which was baked, I didn't realize before ordering. I did not like it, but I am also not a fan of baked sushi, there was a sauce similar to a hot sauce on it I did not like. It was also too many flavors happening. The prices are the same as other similar quality sushi restaurants in the area. They do offer lunch specials, even on Sundays, that have a lunch price point .

    Very cozy sushi place in Brighton. The TNT roll was tasty although it could use a little bit of spice. The dumplings were steamed perfectly and the salad was my favorite - so much flavor! Definitely recommend giving them a try.

    Sushi Zen is phenomenal for creative tasty EXCELLENT sushi. Their top notch cuisine includes several cooked options for those that do not enjoy the raw selections. Sushi is one of the cleanest foods. It is amazing treat when the chefs make the quality of food OUTSTANDING. Their top notch skill and knowledge they possess to adapt to my complicated food restrictions set them above in the food industry. Gluten can be found in soy sauce, tempura, eel sauce and even in crab stick. Creating without the traditional staples of their key cuisine cannot be easy. Anticipate a line. It is worth the wait

    Food was very good. Service was a bit slow and a couple requests for the server were mishandled. Overall, a very positive experience

    Soup and salad came right away! Sushi itself was a bit of a wait and accidentally got 2 very similar rolls that we didn't end up liking. The mahi was on special for Thursday ladies night but it wasn't worth getting it was so bad flavor wise. Service was good that saved it a bit but overall wasn't wowed by this place. Small table made it feel cramped to be in there. I'd go again to try other rolls but might enjoy sitting at the sushi bar better next time.

    i absolutely love sushi zen in brighton! i've been going here for years, and it never disappoints. the sushi is always fresh, flavorful, and so beautifully made. every visit is consistently yummy whether i'm grabbing my usual favorites or trying something new, everything comes out perfect. the staff is super friendly, the service is quick, and the atmosphere is always buzzing. it truly is one of those local gems you can always count on for an amazing meal. if you're in brighton and craving sushi, sushi zen is hands-down the best spot. i'll keep coming back again and again!

    I keep searching for a better sushi spot in the metro Detroit area, but time and time again, I find myself coming back to Sushi Zen. It still holds my number one spot for the overall best sushi. Honestly, I hate even writing this review because the wait can already be long, and it seems like more people are catching on--but it's no secret: their sushi is amazing. A true gem!

    No other way to celebrate a bday

    Busy. Make a reservation. I followed Chef Nobu here but he has now left a few years ago. Still good however, the chef surprise is up to the head chef, which since Nobu left, is typically a lot of cooked, fried rolls and apps. The chef surprise has always been a nice blend of raw, rolls and feature apps. Still very good but not my cuppa. Great place to appease the whole family. They are not just a sushi joint. They have a good size dining room with great waitstaff though they are usually busy. There are specials each night so look up the list and enjoy martini Monday or half off bottles of wine. They do takeout and catering platters too.

    Ginger Salad, dressing on the side. Garlic Edamame
    Heather C.

    Excellent, every single time. I'm a sushi snob and this is one of my top places in metro Detroit for high quality sushi. It's always fresh, premium quality, and they have great cocktails to accompany the food. They also have real wasabi options to up charge for. The servers are veterans and provide excellent service. I recommend the cycle cabernet to accompany your meal. I also love the steamed broccoli and edamame as an appetizer.

    Mango Fiesta Roll, Reef Roll, White Cajun Roll and Hot Spider Roll respectively.  All are winners!!!

Honestly, I was expecting more. I wish I would've loved it but didn't. I got the Tonkotsu with spice (didn't taste spicy at all). My hubby liked his Ton-Ton pork ramen. My friend got the Spicy Champon and it was NOT spicy at all. Not sure I'd recommend as our experience was lacking overall. At least they were great about refilling our waters and lots of free parking. I enjoyed the fresh small salad that came with our Ramen, but charging extra for the chili oil was a disappointment as my ramen really needed something extra. Better luck next time.

Having spent time exploring Japan and eating plenty of sushi there, this is probably the closest I've come in Michigan to recreating that experience. The focus is on traditional and straightforward: quality fish, careful preparation, and letting the ingredients speak for themselves rather than covering everything in sauces and toppings. The sushi and sashimi have been consistently excellent across my visits, and I especially appreciate that the menu goes well beyond the typical American sushi restaurant. There are plenty of traditional Japanese dishes and chef's-choice options, so it's a place where I'm always tempted to try something different. The atmosphere adds to the experience too. It has this intimate, neighborhood Japanese restaurant vibe that reminds me so much of stumbling upon a sushi spot in Kyoto. If you love traditional Japanese food and care more about quality and authenticity than elaborate specialty rolls, Sharaku is absolutely worth the trip.
