The service here is excellent, our food came out very fast! We ordered the sushi boat and it was amazing.

Food is always delicious and service always prompt and courteous. Definitely recommend!

This was our first time here. They served a complimentary broth soup which was very good. We ordered 2 Sushi rolls and expected it to come on a standard plate but on our surprise it came in a beautiful Boat Platter. The Sushi fish and crab were very fresh and they were both a delicious. We also had the Fried Oreo dessert. It came with some fresh whipped cream perfect for dipping and made for a nice ending to a delicious meal. The Vibe here is casual but upscale decor. Very clean and inviting booths and large and small table settings. Great for a large group or date nite. We met the Owner her name is Jai. She came to check in our service which was already fantastic. Jai is super sweet and friendly and we look forward to seeing her and trying more Sushi rolls on our next visit. read more

We are on a quick trip to St Augustine, staying on the beach and were not in the mood for the many choices of fried seafood at the local places. After reading the reviews we selected this place and it was simply awesome. Our server, Jia was welcoming, friendly and very sweet. As soon as we sat down we were given a simple but delicious soup with mushrooms and tempura bits. Best soup I've had at a sushi restaurant. We started with the tuna tataki app and then ordered the love roll and moon roll. They were brought out on a beautiful wooden stand with multiple levels displaying the sushi really well. Each roll was outstanding in presentation, form and taste. After dinner we were provided with a complimentary fried Oreo and, surprised when Jia gave each of us a super cute Japanese "sippy cup" to remember this place. There was no need to remind us as it was one of the best sushi experiences we have had. Go there and support this fantastic little spot. You won't regret it. read more

Sushi Zento is one of our favorite restaurants in St Augustine. Plus it is conveniently located on Anastasia Island near our home. We have going there for several years and we love it! The setting inside is beautiful and the owner (Jai) and her staff are incredible. ALL of their dishes are amazing. Even if it's just for a light lunch, their Bento Box choices are superb, especially the free Hollywood roll that comes with your lunch. When friends of ours come in town a couple times a year, they can't wait to go to Sushi Zento for their giant Sushi Boats! It's the first place they have to go to. Their menu has so many wonderful choices it's hard to choose which ones to order. But it doesn't matter because everything they offer is delicious. Make sure you go there and I know you will become a regular customer, as we are. read more

Service was lovely (considering the table behind us were very mean to the poor waiter) Service was super fast, went around 5 pm. Food was yummy and on par with price and size of sushi rolls. read more

Sushi Zento & Grill - Trying out a new sushi place! - Japanese Near Me - St. Augustine, Florida

I've ordered takeout from here for many many years. They recently renovated the inside, it has a very nice atmosphere. The food is super good and they are accommodating from a service standpoint. Plenty of variety on the menu and the sake is great! Highly recommend you try out. Very convenient location in Saint Augustine, good for couples for a date night or a family. We just had a party of 11 and it worked out very well! read more

Great food and service. Our waiter Brad was terrific a great server. Could not ask for better. Definitely will be back!!!!

My first time to try this place - wow! Angie was so nice and brought me a app while I waited on my bento lunch. I had shrimp bento. Rice quality was excellent and hot green tea especially good. I lived in Japan for about 10 years and I give it a thumbs up!! read more

Ambiance is still good. new owners have tried to deceive me twice since they took over/bought the place. First the said the previous owner would be back on their very first day ( not true, per staff there ), then they told me on my 3rd visit that Lucky Rolls are served warm even though I explained they had not been served warm all the years I had been coming. The own was dressed like she just got out of bed ( very messy high pony tail, t-shirt, slacks. the other staff appeared untidy and im not sure about hygiene but it didn't look good. Way too much eel sauce on my roll. not edible. I will not go back. I've tried 3 times and it has always been a disaster. I said I was allergic to soy and they still tried to serve me things that were free but soy based ( miso broth, and soy sauce). I hope you will improve because Annie ran a great Sushi Restaurant . read more

We stopped here for dinner based off of other reviews. I'm so glad we did. They started the meal with clear soup. They also brought a small complementary sushi roll that had fried crab and shrimp. It was tasty. We both ordered salmon hibachi. The ginger dressing on the house salads was so delicious! The portion sizes were large and everything was seasoned well. We will definitely be back when we're in town. read more

I have dined here many times and it is always great, love their miso soup and Sushi lunch

My gf and I went here on Christmas Day. We got inside and there was quite a few people inside for it being Christmas Day. We got sat right away and were greeted quick as well. We tried ordering the calamari for an appetizer but they were out unfortunately. Our server did bring us a little crab roll on the house which was very nice. Very yummy as well. Then for our entree we got 4 different rolls. We got the eel and avocado roll, I give that a 7.3/10. The happy roll I give a 7.8/10. The tnt roll in the middle was simple but good I give that a 8/10. The last roll in the back is the dynamite roll and I give that a 8.3/10. Overall the sushi was fresh tasting and not too much rice on the rolls which can be a big difference. For dessert we got the fried ice cream. One of my favorite desserts to get, I give it a 9/10. Overall Christmas dinner experience I give a 8.8/10. read more

Food and service was excellent. You are served clear soup and an appetizer after being seated. We had the soft shell crab appetizer and the dumplings to start. They were very good. We all got different types of rolls and everything was delicious. Highly recommend. read more

My parents live down the street from Sushi Zento and I love getting takeout here when I visit! The sushi is the best in town - I love the yellowtail and spicy tuna. My brothers love the fire tuna roll for a fancier one. The hibachi meals are great value and super tasty. Great pricing, really quick and convenient. Great customer service too. We love this place! read more

Sushi Zento & Grill - Japanese Near Me - St. Augustine, Florida

This is the local "go to" for the best sushi in town. This family owned restaurant has a surprising interior and ambiance, located in our Publix shopping center. We always get sushi that is cooked and favorite rolls are the mango roll, zento roll, phoenix roll , anastasia roll, sakara roll. Other friends enjoy the hibachi. The wine is cold and the service is great. Construction is going on now for the new Publix but don't let that stop you from going! read more

Amazing service, really good food, so welcoming! Loved this dinner so much. From start to finish the meal and service was excellent. Free app and salad to start the meal was incredible and unexpected. Definitely worth eating here. read more

We love sushi zento!! Every time we want something easy on a Friday night that is delicious and healthier this is our go to! Honestly sometimes we end up having it twice a week. I love the rainbow Naruto! They also do a gluten free hibachi which is so wonderful for me since I can't eat dairy or gluten. We also love the tuna avocado and real California roll. They always have our food ready so quickly and packaged with care. read more

Good food! Great service! Ambience is very nice with warm marble flooring, as it doesn't seem that way from the outside!

Enjoyed free food that you usually don't get at a Japanese restaurant. Before I ordered I was served soup like fish cake broth with mushroom slices and tempura imitation krab sticks smothered in that orange aioli. Both were delicious. They have a lot of choices. I ordered a lunch special 2 rolls or handrolls for $9! That came with salad, ice berg lettuce and a good miso dressing. I was quite full before touching a roll! 8 pieces come per roll, small in size but I like how they use little rice and peel the WHOLE shrimp in my tempura roll. The shrimp tempura in roll was excellent, warm and crunchy but light. My other roll had real crab meat roll. Little crab actually but a nice balance of crunch from cucumber and creamy avocado. Zento's interior is pleasantly simple, with soft easy listening music, sometimes in Japanese. There's also one tv to keep track of sports. Many choices and the service was friendly and fast. I highly recommend this place for its great prices and value for your money. read more

Nice hibachi shrimp lunch special, which also included a soup and a salad, and came with vegetables, though I wish it had more rice. That makes it a good value for $11.50 I'd say. My fiancee's chicken on a stick was also pleasant. We also got a Ramune Orange, a Japanese soda; we had to get them to explain how to open this novelty soda, which had a marble-like ball bouncing around in it. I may return. With tip, $31 for lunch for two. read more

The food and service were absolutely terrific. I told the waiter that it was my daughter's birthday, and he surprised her with a fried ice cream plate, with 'Happy Birthday' spelled in chocolate and they had the birthday song playing in the background. They went over and above, and she was thrilled with the sushi, the ambiance and the ice cream! read more

Food is always amazing don't get me wrong! But the service I received tonight. I was baffled. I walk in to do a takeout order for my family and I. I ask for the kid habachi. She looks at me and says "you don't look 12". Like okay. Should I throw my kid over my hip next time? I asked how big it was to see if my kids could share. She refused to give me an Awnser. Like almost if I was asking if it was big enough for myself. Didn't even ask me if I wanted soup or salad. Ended up giving me soup. Which I can't give my kids. They won't eat broth. It was unreal. Then I'm trying to order food. And she is trying to up charge me on ever single thing. It's like lady. I'm about to leave lol. All I have to say is. I love coming here. It's one of my favorite spots. But after that. It left a really bad taste in my mouth. (not the food of course. Her service. (Girl with the blue hair. Avoid at all coast) read more

We love their sushi! It is always fresh and exceptionally presented. Their heart shaped roll is not only tasty it's art! As appetizers we've enjoyed the hamachi and the scallops. Their sushimi pieces are big thick slices. We've never had any issue with service nor had to wait long for our order. read more
