I have been to Zen 32 so many times I can't count them all. When I first started eating sushi (my second experience was here) I came to Zen 32 with some friends. I was still afraid of sushi so I got the teryaki chicken which I must say was quite good. I ate a bit of sushi on that first visit and I began to get hooked.
If I had reviewed Zen 32 after my first visit or two I would have given in a 5. I like the atmosphere and there is something about the outfits the waitresses are forced to wear that still appeals to me. The service has always been good and I enjoy that they have seating both indoors and outdoors.
Now for the food. First, I know this will seem odd, but the water is too lemony for my taste. It kills me. I really only drink water, and I like it to be nice and bland and Zen 32 just doesn't do it for me. As for the sushi, I find that it is a bit hit or miss. I don't know if I have ever had a better Tootsie Roll. It is like dessert. I have tried many others, but I will always go back to Zen 32 for the Tootsie Roll. Their other rolls are fine, but I am not in love. Now that I have branched out in the sushi realm, I have found that I can find better.
So, in the end, will I go back to Zen 32 again. Yes. Is it my first choice? Not quite.
