| - I really wanted to like this place, but I really don't think it managed to wow me.
We ordered some simple sushis (California Roll, Salmon Roll, and Spicy Tuna Roll), all of which were very standard. Nothing special.
We also ordered some soups. The chicken soup (I believe called "Tom yum" or something similar) came out fresh and piping hot, while the miso soup was disgustingly barely warm. This really bothered me because I'm a huge miso soup fan. When we asked the waitress about this, she offered to microwave it which I didn't feel was the right answer.
Other dishes we ordered included some noodles (vegetable, chicken), and General Tso's chicken. Again, nothing stood out. Standard standard standard.
The service was decent, but I feel that the place was understaffed. Our waitress was also everyone's waitress, and she was running around from table to table, and that made us feel uncomfortable to ask her for anything!
In general, Zem One is a good place to get a halal fix of sushi. Although overpriced in my opinion, the sushi is halal, which is worth the extra money. Spare yourself the time and money and don't order anything other than sushi. I'd like to come back here for more sushi, but based on this experience, I probably won't be back for a while.
