Zen is located in the outskirts of the city. To be more specific, it's located in a rundown strip plaza in sketchville. Zen is the definition of a hidden gem.
Be warned - after eating here, you'll become a pretentious sushi critic and will no longer feel satisfied eating at another sushi restaurant. I'd recommend you dig out your big boy stretchy jeans and make the drive there.
- Make a reservation a solid week before you go here.
- Request seating at the chef's table because nothing is better than watching the chefs skillfully make your food.
- Order the omakase - it's a great deal; your taste buds and your stomach will thank you.
- Order the tofu salad to start and the house's mandarin dessert to celebrate how amazing that meal was.
Although this restaurant may be far for some, consider it being closer than Japan.
