Stopped by for a late lunch, early dinner. Hungry after helping my SIL move some items and afternoon shopping. They have an extensive sushi variety of sushi options here, the clear pictures help for sure. The stuffed jalapeño and the avocado bomb looks good as always. Dave is waiting on us. We started off with ginger salad, miso soup, firecracker appetizer, Eskimo roll, added jalapeño and cream cheese, firecracker roll with spicy crab salad only, no tuna and a MSU roll too. $57.24. The spectacular, less the shrimp and a mango fiesta roll look interesting as well. The ginger salad is okay, the lettuce or iceberg is a bit fried out and there's big veins and chunks in it. Dressing is okay. The miso soup is good. The firecracker app is tasty, a nice tempura crunch to it. The MSU roll wasn't anything special, even though it had cream cheese in it. A staffer came to pick up our discarded appetizer dish and accidentally dumped the miso soup all over my left cloth shoe. She came back with a white paper napkin to wipe up the floor. I asked her for a wet rag, since the miso broth dripped all over my shoe as well. The MSU roll with the crab salad only was pretty tasty, nice heat to it. The modified Eskimo roll wasn't yummy. $0.75 for each sriracha. $1 for a tiny sliver of jalapeño and another $1 for cream cheese too. Service and food were both pretty good. Maybe recommend staffers to carry discards from one table a time. The Eskimo, fire cracker appetizer and the firecracker roll are all worth trying. read more

Sushi was good but not good enough for the poor service. For starters people that were sat after us were putting in their orders before we did. When we were finally able to order I ordered a few rolls of sushi and my boyfriend ordered a beef bulgogi bowl. Sushi came out and we thought his beef bowl was going to come out shortly after. Our waitress, didn't catch her name but receipt says our server was Nola, came by to check on us after we took the first bite of sushi but wasn't to be seen again. 40 minutes go by and the sushi is almost gone still no bowl or sight of our waitress. When I was able to finally flag her down to ask about it she said she was going to go check on it. At this point we had been there for probably an hour and we were ready to go so we just canceled the order and took the check. When she dropped off the check she said "sorry I forgot to ask if you wanted it" What do you mean ask if we wanted it? We ordered it. Even if it wasn't finished at the restaurant we would have taken it home. Between the poor service and complete negligence we experienced I would not recommend this place read more

Excellent sushi spot in Brighton, hidden away in a corner of a small shopping center. You know it's a fave with us locals as it's always busy. Excellent service, super tasty food offerings and a nice spot to sit for a bit and enjoy excellent sushi and adjacent dishes. Sushi takes time, so order an app or two! read more

Maybe not for us? Second time eating here and it's just mid. The deep fried rolls were cold, soup was cold and it was just not pleasant spending almost $100 for 5 rolls that just didn't hit the spot. We went at 5:30, wasn't packed but yet it took over an hour and a half to get our food. read more

Absolute best sushi around! Service is always wonderful as well:). Must have the avocado bomb appetizer..... out of this world!!

Back again because another friend wanted to try this place after going to the farmer's market. SZ is not authentic Japanese. My friend ordered the bulgogi bento box and I ordered the salmon teriyaki bento box. Each bento box came with soup and salad. I was able to substitute my meat gyoza for a veggie one. I was also able to swap the california roll for a spicy tuna roll. That was nice, especially since there was no upcharge. Still, my meal was not good. The gyozas should not be deep fried and I think they use Sriracha sauce in the spicy tuna which didn't taste good. Our server was very nice and checked on us regularly. read more

Nice experience, good sushi in Brighton. Will be back for another visit. Why do I need 85 characters? It's good, can I just say that Yelp?

My boyfriend and I go here 2-3 times a week. Best sushi I've ever had, always reliable, and always good. read more

Sushi Zen - Multiple sushi rolls served on a platter. - Sushi Bars Near Me - Brighton, Michigan

This place has Amazing sushi. Great gluten free options. Highly recommend. Never had a bad meal. A weekly staple for our family.

Great food and service! My husband and I shared three rolls and all three were great! Very busy on a Saturday night - plan accordingly.

Food was good with very affordable lunch special pricing. Their complimentary house salad and miso soup were so delish compared to other sushi places. My only complaints are the excessive rice to fish ratio and that I got a massive stomach ache after eating here. But if I'm around the area and craving sushi, I'd probably still come again. read more

One of our regular spots with good sushi, appetizers, and other Japanese and Korean dishes. The only reason I'm not giving it five stars is the waits can be insane over the weekends and the service can be hit or miss. read more

I'm not a fish eater, so I can't rate the sushi for you, other than the veggie sushi I had. Went in for lunch. They have a great lunch menu. I had a bento box that was just under $11. It included an entree, so I had chicken teriyaki, rice, and veggies. It also came with California Roll but they let me sub it with the avocado roll, 2 fried dumplings, and tempura vegetables. A lot of food! The chicken teriyaki and veggies were on point. The seaweed on the avocado roll was a little tough. I also thought the tempura veggies were bland. But overall, I was very pleased with my meal. The restaurant had plenty of staff working. Lots of servers and chefs. It kept things moving! I did get a cherry coke and it was over $3. I mean, I guess I shouldn't complain since my actual lunch was so inexpensive. But $3! Lol. I made sure I drank enough to get refills! Anyone who spends over $8 gets a side salad and miso soup. I highly recommend their ginger dressing. It was very tastey and refreshing. Sushi can be expensive so I recommend you bring your small group and have everyone order 1-2 different items and share them all. read more

Amazing even for take out! Sushi was fresh and so delicious!! Placed the order over the phone and it took about an hour but with them being busy and such a large order it's totally understandable. Was perfect for an impromptu get together with a couple who's never had sushi from there. Needless to say they will also be new customers. read more

Love sushi or sushi novice, this is your place! Get your reservation in, because this place is SO GOOD there is even a wait on Sundays! This is the premier sushi restaurant in Livingston county maybe the best in the neighboring counties too! Service is always with a smile. The cozy ambiance is perfect for dates, get togethers and celebrations. Kids (kid like adults too) will love the strawberry roll or the banana Hama roll! read more

This place has been a favorite for the last decade. A hole in the wall but don't let that fool you. Their rolls are fresh and flavorful, clearly using freshly caught fish. Even if you're not the biggest sushi fan, their bento boxes and noodle dishes aren't forgotten about on their menu -- they're just as good. Truly one of Livingston county's gems. read more

My first time at this restaurant and I will be coming back. Customer service was fantastic!! Thank you Mackenzie for the great service and the food was amazing. Highly recommend the Michigan roll and shrimp tempura roll, 10/10 service and food!!! read more

Service was poor, waitress was rude. There were fruit flies all over the place and one landed in my glass of wine. When I told the waitress she asked me if I wanted a new one?? Of course I do I don't want you to pick out the fly for me and give it back. Was very disappointed. read more

They have become... LESS TASTY! Their service is nice, and the servers come by often to check on you and see how you're doing, but the food is just not as good as it was a couple of years ago. The shrimp doesn't taste as fresh as it used to, and I have several people who agree with me on that! read more

Unexpected gem! I did not expect a superb sushi restaurant in Brighton Michigan. I was nearby and spotted in corner of small strip mall. Exterior of building screamed "don't order anything raw!". Immediately the service and crowd (within 5 min of opening for lunch on a Monday) sang "this is the real deal". The sushi was artfully prepared with serious attention to detail; every ingredient fresh. There were several regulars who were known by name by the servers, and five (yes, 5) sushi chefs very busy. I do not recommend this lightly or through ignorance, as I have spent time in Tokyo. This is by no means Japan, but perhaps the best American-style Japanese restaurant in the Midwest. really? Yes, REALLY. read more

The sushi was really good, but I wasnt too impressed by the service. The best item on the menu is the avocado bomb. It was spectacular and very unique. It was a sliced avocado filled with crab salad and topped with spicy mayo and eel sauce. The sushi was good, but nothing really stood out as jaw dropping. The mixed drinks were my biggest disappointment. For them to be that expensive, they shouldn't be nearly undrinkable. It's the best sushi north if ann arbor, but I'm not so sure it's worth the long wait times they have here. Also, they wont let you out your name on the list without being there, but they dont have a waiting area. You end up just having to stand by the door. It's really awkward. read more

This is our go to place for sushi. They have over 60 different choices on the menu. The service is always good without being overbearing. Get here early as it is a smaller place and fills up fast. We showed up a little after 430 and it was full by the time we left a little after 530. read more

I have to say sushi and was excellent. Great placing Brighton small but I love the atmosphere. Very good service. I enjoyed my server. She was very personable. Very knowledgeable about the menu. What should I get Her recommendation was amazing and I enjoyed speaking with the staff. They were very professional. I will definitely come back again. read more

Pretty good sushi for being a landlocked state! Avocado bomb was INCREDIBLE! I am am avocado lover already but the fresh avo plus crab salad with shrimp was so flavorful! The sushi was also good, my favorite of the 5 rolls was the ruby roll. So many flavors mixed well into one. The dragon is always a good classic and fulfills my unagi needs. The crazy boy was surprisingly decent for a fried roll! Definitely will be back when I am in Michigan next! read more

Definitely the Best Vegetarian Sushi I've ever had! The Veggie Love and Strawberry Blossom are what vegetarian Sushi dreams are made of and I've yet to find anything good even close to comparable. The 2 "actual" sushi eaters in my family have yet to find a roll they don't like and my youngest has had good luck with the kids Bento Boxes. Staff is always friendly and service is great. read more
