I had scoured yelp for the best authentic sushi up north and all signs pointed to Zen... until it didn't. The food was meh, and the experience was a bust.
For an upscale sushi restaurant, the sushi rice was SO dry. It made the rest of the sushi very hard to eat and ruined my omakase sushi set. They were also very stingy on the uni, I had a little tiny piece on the corner of my nigiri - the rest of the sushi was topped with cucumber slices (??).
It puzzles me why Zen would choose to offer omakase at the same price for those sitting at the sushi bar vs tables. The sushi bar customers get to watch the chef slice your fish, intricately decorate your sushi, and serve you plate by plate. Meanwhile, I sat at at table, longingly staring at the fun being had at the sushi bar while puzzled by which of my 12 nigiris were what on my giant plate.
Don't come here for omakase here unless you can get a seat at the sushi bar.
