We found the menu had many sushi and roll options but not many dinner entrees. I ordered the beef and rice bowl. What I received was a bowl of white rice with a lettuce salad, shaved beef and egg on top. It tasted horrible. This dish was recommended by the server so I thought it would be good. The server only came back to check on us once during the entire meal. I would t recommend this restaurant. Also the restaurant is extremely noisy. read more

While in Rockford visiting my family, they wanted to take me to the Beloit Wisconsin farmers market. So after walking around and shopping for a while, we decided it was time to have lunch. We stopped into Zen. Very nice place, very clean and welcoming. Two of us, Love, Sushi and two did not but they had plenty other items you could order. I ended up having a California roll and a shrimp tempura roll and salmon sashimi. The sashimi was excellent.!!!! The California roll was really good. The shrimp temporal roll was good but I didn't think it was great. Most shrimp tempura rolls I've had -the shrimp that's in the roll has a batter and it's a little bit crunchy and then it has a little flakes of batter on the outside of the roll. This one had seaweed as the outside of the roll. it just felt like it was missing something. The sauce on it was really good though .Just wouldn't be my first choice in the future. My niece had sweet-and-sour chicken & loved it! My brother-in-law had a chicken noodle dish which he also thought was excellent and serving size was so much, he brought home. I also loved the mango iced tea ! I would definitely go here again and try a few of their many other rolls. Our server also was great and very attentive.! read more

This menu offers a lot of options. I ordered the honey chicken and loved the sauce and how filling it was. On the pricier side but worth it in my opinion! They have a large indoor area and a patio with seating outside. Nice shops in the area to make a nice evening out! read more

I think Zen is a solid 4 stars. It was also definitely overpriced... Again, with other restaurants in the vicinity, I think because of the location and building, you're paying for ambiance. I ordered Spider, Philadelphia, and Chicago. The spider roll is supposed to have soft shell crab. While this one did, it was not have the dominant texture or taste of the roll. Most Spiders also don't have spicy mayo on top... The Philadelphia roll was good and basic. Chicago roll was also good. I took off one star for price and because I also stood in the doorway with several staff passing by without acknowledging me. It would have been nice to have been told someone will be with me shortly or welcoming me. It was also because I saw who could only be an owner or manager at the host stand- see me walk in and then still turn their back and leave without saying anything. read more

What a welcome surprise to find a super delicious sushi place in Beloit, WI. I'm always leery of sushi places in the central US. After so many bad meals over the last 5 days up here I wasn't expecting much but this place is so above expectations for small city USA! From the moment you walk in till the time you walk out you will feel transported to a major city with this place. The menu doesn't just list the options but has marvelous images of each roll and the spirits list is very nice with great sake & soju options. The decor is a nice combination of midwestern meets Osaka. The staff is was amazing and this was a top notch place to dine if you find you way to this town. read more

I am allergic to fish and shellfish so I have always enjoyed Zen because they have the angry bird roll. I ordered online the angry bird roll with some other items and made sure to note "No Eel Sauce" due to my allergy. Upon receiving my food, the roll had eel sauce on it. I called to inquire if the sauce actually contained eel & the manager, Jan, confirmed it did. I explained to her that I had noted "No Eel Sauce" and she continued on arguing with me that I did not note "No Eel Sauce". After a few minutes of back and forth, Jan hung up on me. I further reviewed my online order and called back to explain my email confirmation noted that I had put "No Eel Sauce" and I could not eat the roll I was given. Jan told me there was nothing she could do because it was not noted. I explained I would come in and show the email and that all I wanted was my food. She again, hung up on me. I went to the restaurant and a boy, Carter, came to talk to me. He told me, it was noted that I had put "No Eel Sauce", but he didn't know what I didn't want eel sauce on. I explained I only ordered one roll that contained eel sauce. He continued on explaining there was nothing he could do. I explained all I wanted was my roll and he said Jan directed them not to make me a new roll. I then expressed that I genuinely can not eat the roll with eel sauce because I would die and Carter laughed and said, "Well then don't eat it. I don't know what to tell you.". I was in awe at this experience. Genuinely speechless that I did in fact note I wanted no eel sauce, they did not accommodate to me with a severe allergy, I was hung up on twice, laughed at, and treated with extreme unprofessionalism. Jan and Carter both exemplified extremely poor service and I am shocked that a manager would not be willing to better someone's experiencing. read more

Sushi rolls were great! The entrees aren't worth the high cost. Spent $27 on chicken teriyaki, very little chicken mostly cabbage and no other veggies. Chicken friend rice was rice with frozen mixed veggies and soy sauce. Absolutely ridiculous! Very sad we ordered the entrees! read more

I have been in Beloit a lot recently for work. This is my favorite restaurant by far and I've tried quite a few places. I love the ginger dressing salad, the rainbow roll, and if you want something warm and comforting- the beef Udon noodle is delicious - just be warned- the bowl is very large. The service is good - if you sit at the bar the sushi chefs may even make you a bite to sample while awaiting your food. Very nice upscale but comfortable atmosphere. read more

Very comfortable restaurant with outdoor dining option. Sushi was great and reasonably priced. Service was excellent. Great place for an affordable lunch and elegant enough for a dinner date. read more

Let me start by saying this establishment states they pride themselves on high quality food. This means nothing if you don't have exceptional Customer Service. My daughter ordered online. Specifically asking for no eel sauce as she is allergic. I've added a picture for reference. She got home with her food and eel sauce was on her roll. She called Zen and spoke to the manager Jan explaining what happened, hoping to go back and pick up a new roll. Instead, Jan was unprofessional said nothing could be done and hung the phone up. My daughter drove back to Zen hoping for resolution. She then spoke to a gentleman named Carter who was rude, unempathetic, and unprofessional. My daughter explained the situation, showed him her order confirmation, and let him know she was allergic to the sauce. He stated " well we are not making a new roll so your going to just have to eat it and see what happens". I am blown away that this establishment would treat a paying customer like this. It wasn't like she was asking for a discount, or a replacement of her other food that was now sitting at home getting cold. All she wanted is what she paid for. What happened to giving your customers a good customer experience? My family and I frequently eat at Zen and I am shocked this is how they would treat a customer especially when it was their error. We will not be going back. And for the sake of their establishment, I hope they give these two inviduals the basics of customer service. read more

Went here with my sister and brother-in-law on a Thursday night. I'd been wanting some sushi so I was pretty excited for this. My sister arrived before us so she already had a table when we got there. The place is pretty nice - clean and spacious. Bathrooms are shared with another restaurant next door. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We ordered a few different items: monkey brain, jalapeño poppers, ahi tuna tower, yellowtail carpaccio, crunch combo, vegetable fried rice, and avocado & eel roll. We had sushi just two weeks prior in Chicago, and maybe I should've tailored my expectations based on the location we were at, but the raw sushi was not of great quality. I enjoyed the cooked items we ordered more, but something about them seemed a bit too rich and stuffed rather than fresh. Overall, the experience wasn't bad, but I would probably order more cooked items if we come back here. read more

Very cool restaurant with a young hip vibe and the food was delicious but there seemed to be a lot of employees standing around with nothing to do. Sushi was fresh and tasty, the spicy tuna was a little hotter than I remember but it could have just been me. If I lived closer I would go there again, but it was an hour drive and I could go to Wonitas in Brookfield for sushi. read more

I've been here 4 times and every time has been great! Nice staff, quick service, delicious food. Highly recommend the Sushi Regular Combo and the Las Vegas Roll -- quality fish and great flavor for a great price read more

WOW! All the appetizers we tried had incredible taste. Wish the scallop appetizer came with another scallop for the price. The fried rice is a nice additive. The shrimp bowl was incredible. Would definitely recommend if you don't like sushi. The oh my god flaming roll was so good! So was the other flaming roll we tried. It's a nice date spot with the lighting and seating arrangements. Our server was prompt and friendly. Will definitely be back to try more rolls. YUM! read more

Food is good. Appetizers were fresh. Tempura was amazingly light. Adamome is good. Chicken tempura had two pieces of chicken and five pieces of vegetables. Pearl was good. Service Atmosphere table was just ok. Not very attentive. Manager, owner who seated us very unfriendly, never smiled. Place was busy but she sure didn't seem to appreciate the customers. read more

I used to love this place the food was always great and so was the customer service but the last two times I've gone the food quality isn't good anymore compared to what it used to be, not to long ago I came in here with my partner and we were seated but ignored for about 40 minutes. I was ready to leave because it was obvious they weren't intending on serving us, but my bf decided to say something and afterwards the service still sucked, this last time I ordered to go and the food was wack never coming here again read more

We ate at Zen following a trip to the downtown farmers market which was really nice (first time there). We were seated right away and service was very good throughout. The seaweed salad was very good and was garnished with fresh cucumber which I like very much. My companion and I each ordered the lunch special ( 2-3 rolls for set price) and shared our selections. The rolls were fresh and well made. I gave 4 stars because the shrimp tempura roll did not have much shrimp in it and the spicy tuna roll was too spicy for me to eat. But my companion loved it. I'd gladly go again. read more

Solid place to eat. Shares a bathroom with the Mexican place next door. Street parking. The ramen egg was "meh"; they don't marinate them so really... is it a ramen egg? read more

The Chinese lady at the main desk is rude and she profiled me. Very unwelcoming to the youth

I had 2 different crutch rolls. And they did NOT have ANY crunch to them.. The crab Rangoon was tiny ( each only a little bit bigger than a quarter.) I also ordered sweet sour shrimp. That had no real sweet-and-sour to it was dry. I had high hopes.....Overall, very expensive not really sure I'll go back?! read more

4 stars because the hostess wasn't on her game tonight. She quoted us 30 min at 6:09 pm walking in. Then after 30 min she called us and said another 30 min.. aftr question she seated us quickly at the sushi counter. It took 20 min to get a waiter once seated. The waiter was very nice. The food was good. For moderate rolls and chicken fried rice w waters only it came to $76. So I tipped 20%+ and we were right under $100. Just seems alot for 2 guests. May need to go bk at lunch or daytime. Definitely want to go and sit outside or at a table. And get a true picture of what everyone is saying. read more

I'll be a bit nicer with the stars because the first visit I had with my company was very good. However, I felt inclined to give this place a lesser review because of the portion sizes. Yes, these are appetizers but the total price being almost $19 for such little food is outrageous. Whilst the food wasn't necessarily bad, it could've been better. read more

We love coming to Zen, the service there has always been top notch. The food in itself is so well prepared. We have been blessed to get the same server on multiple occasions and he has made the experience amazing every time and goes above and beyond in his customer service skills. He has a "special crab roll" that is not on the menu but we never fail to order every time we go and it is the best! Highly recommend going to zen for your next sushi dinner read more

This place is amazing! We came tonight (1/15/25) for the first time and this is going to be our go-to sushi joint. We rolled up with a two year old and a baby and they were so accommodating and sweet. Our two year old missed her nap today so she was fussy and our server came running out with coloring books and crackers. The food and service were excellent! We will be back 100000000/10 read more

Start to finish this was great. The staff was very friendly when I walked in. Sat down and my waiter came over and greeted me with a smile. Everyone from the staff was extremely friendly including the owner who came around to each table and took a couple minutes to speak with everyone. The food was excellent. I started with the Shu-Mai and got the OToro, Tuna and Wagyu Nigiri and a Badger Crunch Roll. All of it was excellent. And to top it all off the kitchen sent me a special tuna dish out. When I asked what it was my waiter said it was just something that the chefs had put together. But if you ask me they should add it to the menu. Definitely one of the highlights of my meal. If you are in Beloit I wound highly recommend. read more

Great Asian food with an energetic atmosphere. Make a reservation to guarantee seating.

We have been coming to Zen since they opened! Great Sushi, great service and a wonderful enviroment.

I had ordered a to-go order that was missing a roll , when I called to talk to someone the manager was extremely rude. They told me that all my rolls were in the containers and that I was wrong . It took them over 15 minutes to finally agree to make the roll again and for me to come back and pick it up. The manager then tried to make me the cheaper roll even though I told her what roll is was specifically missing. Overall, I would not go back or order from them again. I used to recommend them to everyone but after my experience today I will not be. It was the biggest customer dissatisfaction I have ever experienced. Super disappointed with my experience. read more

So let me start of by saying I LOVE THIS PLACE! I have never been disappointed. The service is always great! The atmosphere is great for couples! The rolls are down right amazing! The soup is on another level! The EEL SAUCE oh let me tell you!!! It's so good it can make anything edible! I honestly believe my better half would choose this eel sauce over me if it came down to it! If you're into Sushi and rolls you've found true love! Give it a go you will be glad you did!!! read more

Many of the bad reviews on here are of the bad customer service not the food. food is mid service is trash. they made me feel dumb and bad for making an effort to get my order right all the while me apologizing for their mistake and not once did they apologize. I had asked for no sea food in my california roll and i still got crab. their excuse to not want to remake it for me was "it's imitation crab" (which is still made from fish & their website doesn't specify imitation crab) i had to drive back from all the way home to tell them with 10 minutes to spare and they told me the whole kitchen crew was gone, before the restaurant closed. wish things could have been different i hear many good things of this place. there was only one mexican girl that actually made me feel better than the rest of the crew this was my second and last time going there. read more
