Update for to go: we ordered spicy miso ramen and tantanmen ramen to go today. Typically I do not…read moreorder ramen to go because it doesn't really taste the same (stuff isn't hot enough and the portions are whack), but Zundo surprised me! 1) their to go set up for ramen separates the broth and all the other ingredients which is so smart and I wish more places would do 2) was ready in 15 minutes 3) easy and no drama ordering with Toast 4) the to go bags are NICE. 5) awesome portion size = food baby after eating! Basically the to go experience is (almost) as good as the in-person eating experience. Try it!

I visited this establishment on Monday, 4/21/25 during the evening rush hour…read more This is a small store in a strip mall and parking was easily accessed. Upon entering the store, I passed two staff members, neither of whom replied to me when I said hello, even though they exchanged eye contact with me, so I know they heard me. I was in search of only one item, Thai Basil, to accompany my homemade Pho Ga. I did not browse the store, I went straight to the produce section, and of the four available packages of Thai Basil, I found only one that was semi-acceptable. It did have several leaves which would have to be discarded, but I needed this item and this was the second store I visited for this item, so I decided to purchase it as is. The cost of one small package of Thai Basil was $4.00, which is very high for the quantity, especially compared to other Asian Markets. Overall, with the lack of good customer service, the high produce price, and the poor quality of the produce, I will not be returning to this store.

A bit of everything. Salmon are tender and not fishy at all. Beef are so umami. Sashimi is so fresh. Tempura is the correct crispiness & not oily. Our next table clients were all speak Japanese! So, we knew we are chosen the best Japanese restaurant due to their authenticity. Will come back here everytime I'm in LEX!

Apparently there were some questionable inspection reports at one time but it has always been clean and the food just fine when we've dined there.

7/12/25 (Meant to…read morepost this sooner but forgot) Dinner at Zen Sushi was absolutely incredible. My husband and I stopped in for a date night and every single dish exceeded expectations. We ordered the dumpling soup, wild hamachi sashimi, king salmon sashimi, the Siberian Tiger roll, and the Amazing Tuna roll, and honestly, every bite lived up to the name. The fish was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor, and the dumpling soup was so flavorful and delicious. The specialty rolls were creative. The service was on point; attentive, friendly, and efficient. This is one of those spots where you leave already planning your next visit. We loved everything we ordered and can't wait to come back for more.

I'm back! I'm staying at the hotel across the street. I tried this spot not too long ago, so I…read moredecided to come for some sushi. Tonight I opted for some seaweed salad, two rolls (Incredible and Dancing Eel), and the Bourbon Tso's Chicken. Last time I didn't like the Curry Udon, so I'm going to give a different Entre a try. The service is friendly and the atmosphere quiet. There are only a couple of other customers here. I normally get sake but it's actually really warm out today, so I'm gonna pass and just go with some water. The seaweed salad came out quickly. It was really cold and crisp, just the way I like it! Yum. My Entre came out before my sushi rolls. Bummer. My mouth is watering in anticipation. I must be hungry. The sushi rolls are large so they will be filling. So far they both are delicious. These were a good choice. I'm not sold on the Bourbon Tso's chicken. It's essentially fried chicken nuggets with a watery glaze sauce on them. I think it would taste better if the sauce was thicker and less tangy. Im not sure what makes it bourbon? I couldn't get any hints of that in the taste. I'm glad I have the sushi to keep going back to, because it is really tasty. I like this place, I will definitely be back, but I think I'll pass on their entree in the future and just stick with the sushi. This is twice now, I've not liked the main dishes. Overall, I think this spot offers a nice dining experience.

The inside of the restaurant looked elegant; I loved the dark interior and the fancy tables. They have an extensive menu, I had trouble choosing. They are fairly priced too. I ordered one specialty roll and it was delicious. Not only was it fresh, it was filling. I ended up paying less than $20 for a single meal; not bad for dinner time. My friend ordered a variety of items and everything was delivered quickly to the table. In the end they give you a delicious, tiny piece of cheesecake... I was pleasantly surprised. I really want to come back or try other locations. It was a 9.5/10 for me.
