  • I've been to a lot of Japanese restaurants all over Toronto, and I have to say that Zen really does offer some of the best food around. All these places serve fresh fish, expertly-made nigiri, and other such delicious Japanese things, and while a lot of the top-tier places like Zen are pretty close quality-wise, it's the little things that set it apart from everywhere else. I went for lunch today, had a Chirashi for $15. This came with a salad with a standard salad dressing that you find on many complimentary Japanese salads, but it had an additional slight kick from freshly ground black pepper. I didn't get a miso soup like all the other Japanese places that serve lunch combos. Instead, they brought out an udon noodle with this delicious kombu, bonito broth filled to the brim with magnificent, delightful flavor. I know most of us don't opt to finish the soup that comes with the udon noodles for fear of MSG or what not -- but for the first time in years, I downed all the soup as well! The noodles were also magnificent. It had the perfect, slightly bouncy consistency without being rubbery, and it was smooth and silky. When the Chirashi arrived, I knew I was in for a treat. That piece of hamachi looked like a delightfully marbled steak, and it tasted buttery and meaty just like it should be. When it came to the maguro, there is simply no comparison. There is no other place in Toronto where I've had tuna where there is no slightly metallic aftertaste. it's hard to explain, but if you've had tuna in enough Japanese places, you might know what I mean! Anyways, this tuna was instead very delicate, with just a hint of fishy flavor rather than an overbearing amount that would require an overdosage of soysauce and wasabi to overcome. Speaking of the wasabi, this restaurant was using a combination blend of the fresh and standard wasabi that we usually have at Japanese places. Honestly, very very good and their lunch specials are incredible. In Scarborough, there's probably no other place like it other than Aoyama (Where the hours are a little weirder). A MUST TRY!
