Vegetable dumplings
Alexis M.

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

Sushi Dinner

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!

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.

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.

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

Best sushi in Livingston County! Every roll is amazing, service is great, etc. Will continue to come back here and if you haven't given them a try yet, you are seriously missing out.

the service was great! the ingredients are fresh and the ambiance is pretty good. The restaurant filled quickly and was busy and a little noisy. Food took a bit but was yummy! Good looking cocktail menu but we didn't try it today!!

The bar for sushi. I judge all other sushi places off of this place. You'll probably get laid after taking your date here. Will be back

The food is incredible, and everyone working is so kind! A…read moregroup of us stopped in for dinner, and ordered bibimbap, sesame-ginger pork gyoza, Korean bbq pork ramen, truffled wild mushroom ramen, and roasted chicken & dumplings ramen. All dishes were so unique and flavorful, we all collectively loved the gyoza, and I think that our favorite ramen was the Korean bbq pork, but everything was absolutely delicious. The folks working behind the counter were so nice, when you walk in, you immediately smell great food, but also see their menu clearly laid out. You walk up to order, pick out a drink, and then they will bring your order to you. We can't wait to visit again!

This place is ramen heaven! And the best part is that their menu isn't limited to Ramen…read more But being a ramen fanatic, I'll focus of ramen. When I ordered, they offered me a choice of rice noodle or ramen noodle. (Ramen noodle, please!) Normally, I would have taken a picture of my food, but I was so hungry that I didn't think of it until it was too late. Served piping hot with abundant toppings, including the classic soft boiled egg, and a generous amount of ramen noodle. You can adjust your level of spice with a shaker at the table. When I finished my bowl, I was full. When you walk in, you're greeted by a large overhead menu and someone at a register to take your order. I didn't find the person particularly friendly, but I didn't care. I was hungry. There were only six tables because they were spaced far apart which I found reminiscent of COVID. The art on the walls was astrological. One landscape showed a planet like Saturn so close it could have been a moon. If Saturn ever gets that close, I'll be at Electric Ramen eating my last bowl of ramen.

Wow! I've been here a few times now and everything is always so fresh, hot, and flavorful…read more Consistently! My go to is the seafood ramen w chili oil (I'd recommend adding chili oil to their broths), as well as the crispy shrimp tempura. An entree w a warm sake hits the spot perfectly! The service is stellar and quick and the hours are perfect for lunch or dinner. I suggest getting there fast as you definitely won't be the only one.

I had high expectations, sadly the flavors (& spice) were lacking. I was super bummed. The service…read morewas good but...we definitely need extra chili oil and black pepper to get flavor in our soups. We went right at 5pm when it opened and all of us felt their dishes were pretty bland. My sister who doesn't like spicy or super flavorful foods liked her shrimp tempura udon though. 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.
