Sushi Zen is always my favorite place to go. Incredibly great food whether it's sushi, appetizers, or dinner entrees. Service is always the best. Great place to go with friends or family for a special event. Cannot say enough good things about this place. Tyler is the BEST server, ask for her if you go!! Thanks Tyler for hosting our girls night!!!! read more

Kate was amazing. It was our first time there and was a date night for hubby and I and the suggestions were very tasty. We definitely will be back again. read more

Best sushi on the area! Bento box is a great option for none sushi eater! Nice environment and friendly service. read more

I'm not sure why this place has over 4 stars. Brighton doesn't really have a lot of Japanese or other Asian residents and therefore, no good sushi restaurants. My friend and I tried a few rolls to go with our cocktails. Most rolls have eel sauce, mayo, crunchies and cream cheese. Very Americanized "sushi". Our meal wasn't all that memorable. read more

Was in Brighton and looking for good places to eat. We got away from the group and found Sushi Zen. From the outside, it looks really sketchy, but once you open the doors, it is a whole different world. It is very nice inside and was pleasantly surprised. Service was good and the place was packed. I was looking forward to some good sushi. Started off with Goyza and it was good. Portion and taste were on the money. Then had the rainbow roll and eel avacado roll. I really liked the eel avacado roll but the rainbow wasn't that great. It tasted a little fishy to me. Not sure, it might have just been a fluke. read more

Last week I called Sushi Zen to see if they could make a cake out of sushi for my daughter, the person I spoke to said they had never done that and would check with the chef. The next day I received a call saying they could do it and it would be ready for me to pick up when I requested it. I arrived to pick up my sushi birthday cake expecting a bunch of rolls in the shape of a cake but what I saw was amazing it looked and tasted wonderful!! Thank you Sushi Zen for making my daughters (14 years old) strange request a reality, you have maintained your status as her favorite restaurant :-) read more

Best Sushi in Livingston County! Take Out always on time and correct. Dining in is always a great experience. read more

The service and food are great. I have triple allergies, and always felt safe eating here.

We always enjoy a meal at this restaurant. The sushi is top-notch and we have never been disappointed by their food.

Always loved Sushi Zen and to be honest, all food I order here (sushi, sashimi, etc) is always 5-Star. Trying some of the other dishes by people going with me I noticed the meat tends to be tough :(. read more

Oh ya bud, if you're looking for good eats in Brighton you found it. Staff is amazing and always making sure you're taken care of and the overall ambiance of the joint is stellar! I've been eating here for years and will continue to! read more

Best sushi place around! Wait can be frustrating but food is amazing! Always fresh, always displayed uniquely, and comes out quickly. The servers are always professional and courteous! Family friendly clean and spacious atmosphere. Will always come back! read more

TLDR; They have a phenomenal menu and great sake. Lived in NYC, STL, and LA. This top 5 sushi quality for a great price. I'd thought I had good sushi before coming here but that was a lie. It now reminds me of 'Jiro loves sushi" because if you sit at the bar you can watch the chefs work through the nights orders (and possibly catch some samples). Is it some extravagant place from a Netflix film? No, but it's also not a $500 a head restaurant. It's my favorite restaurant in MI; we've never had a bad order, service or issue. read more

Don't be confused by the fact this place is in a strip mall next to a drugstore. Sushi Zen has some of the best sushi in southeast Michigan! Be prepared to wait for a table (its a small place), but the sushi is worth it and service is prompt once you are seated. Fresh fish & tons of different rolls to choose from. For non-sushi people, there are other entrees on the menu as well (although I've only ever tried the Korean beef). Highly recommend this place!!! read more

Excellent sushi, by far the best place in Livingston County if you want authentic, delicious, sushi.

Sushi was great. Super fresh and creative roll choices. Loved the yakisoba noodles. Pick up timing was spot on.

My expectations where probably too high since when you search up "best sushi around metro Detroit" this place pops up as number 1 from a couple sources. Sushi is absolutely average and the fish is barely fresh. The reviews are so high and I think it has to do with the low quality sushi in the area. It is an ok place with good service but I would never come back personally. read more

Always delicious. Great service and I love that they have a menu for pregnant women to choose safe options.

Widest selection sushi rolls, combinations and other food item that are consistently perfect. EVERY TIME. Don't know how they do it, just love this place. read more

Best sushi and hot sake ever! Staff is super nice, I've been eating here for years and still get excited to visit every time!

Hands down the best sushi place around! Rolls are always prepared beautifully, fish is always fresh. Service has been really great every time we've gone there. They have great take out as well, and we have gotten large trays of rolls from them several times. Take out looks as good as dine in. read more

Best sushi I have ever had in Michigan!! Seriously I recommend this place to everyone. The staff is beyond nice and checks in on you. The manager there is also beyond amazing and so kind!!! The atmosphere is perfect as well. Just love this place as a whole. They are fast with take out as well. If you order on weekends be prepared for a 30-40 min wait for take out or to be seated. But trust me it's worth it! read more

The perfect small town sushi place. Livingston Co isn't known for adventurous eating so if you are after a totally authentic Japanese experience, SZ will not be it. However it does succeed in making sushi fun, accessible and informal. The place always gets crowded at weekends so book ahead or go another time. There are ways to skip this; the website (but online ordering is not currently working - would be really helpful if it was) and telephone ordering works but again be prepared for a wait. My husband and I went vegan for Lent a couple of years ago and our waitress at SZ was really helpful in recommending veggie options; we ended up ordering rolls that never would have occurred to us otherwise. For instance the Banana Hama and the strawberry Blossom Roll are both fantastic. I'm a sucker for seaweed salad and edamame beans too. Best of all, the atmosphere is buzzing, relaxed and there's always at least one Tom Petty song played - weird music choices for a sushi place but I think that's part of what I like about it . read more

Best sushi and bento box dinners in Livingston County, MI. We've taken company from west coast and Pacific Northwest and they loved the sushi offerings, seaweed salad and miso soup. Great place. Bento BoxCalifornia RollWhite Tiger Roll just to name a few Favs. The Saki bombs are fun too. Best sushi for miles!!! Who would have guessed next to an auto parts store in a strip shopping center . read more

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

This place is amazing! I am a vegetarian and can never find good veg sushi but they have some great rolls to choose from here and I am hooked! Family is not vegetarian and they got all the stuff and loved everything they got. My very picky 16 year old said it was like flavor explosions in her mouth! Super friendly staff was a bonus! read more

Best sushi place around. Always great food and great service. They do CALL AHEAD seating. Keep this in mind on popular nights to avoid a long wait. Firecracker appetizer and Tekka Don are amazing! read more

Excellent place for a quick sushi lunch. Here on business, craving sushi, and figured I'd try my luck. The gamble paid off. This place is small, but offers an extensive list of hand rolls that are creative and use a variety of ingredients (I think I saw 65 different rolls, maybe more). It was so difficult to decide for my order! I only ordered one (the Kawaii roll) but kept stealing glances at others as they ordered. The rolls are incredibly well crafted, tight and served artfully. Large rolls stay together even if pieces have to be eaten in two bites. My roll was beautifully displayed and absolutely delicious. The flavor was clean and multi-layered. The rice was well seasoned and moist. I was so happy. It even came with miso soup and salad for no extra charge (which isn't always the sit par all sushi places I've been to). I was stuffed! And when I got my check I was pleasantly surprised to see my hot tea was complimentary as well. While I was honestly just looking for a good roll, the menu here is extensive. There are multiple combination options, chef's special/choice options, chirashi, bento boxes, udon, etc. Pretty impressive for such a small establishment. I wouldn't be surprised if this place outgrows it's current building. I'm only sad I don't live closer so I can keep coming back and try everything they offer! read more

I can not elaborate enough how delicious this places food is. I live in Texas, and when I'm back in Howell visiting family I am sure to order At least every other day. It's busy as hell because it's that good, so you'll just have to accept that. What's good on the menu? Everything. You're welcome. read more

This is absolutely hands down my FAVORITE place to get sushi in the brighton/Howell area. The staff are very attentive and friendly. The atmosphere is light and calm. Although it's tucked back in the corner of a dated shopping plaza the establishment itself is spotless on the inside and very welcoming. I've been to quite a few sushi bars around the brighton/Howell area and this is without competition the freshest. My food is always served promptly and comes out looking as stunning as it tastes! I will definitely continue to recommend sushi zen to friends, family, and anyone inquiring for some bomb sushi! It's so hard to choose a favorite roll but I would have to say my top three are the Las Vegas, crazy boy, and mango roll. Can't choose? Order the chefs surprise! My boyfriend orders that every time and is never disappointed. The chef surprise is exactly as read, a surprise from the chef! Ask for certain items not to be added and wait for your present! read more
