In case you're not aware... Zen was located in Scarborough prior to moving to their Markham location on Woodbine Ave. I have visited both locations countless times.
This restaurant is now a lot more spacious and comfortable to dine in. The layout and décor is very modern. The sushi bar has about 12 seats and quite a few dining tables, with a few tables tucked behind what seems to be semi-private rooms. It is apparent that a great amount of time and effort was put into the layout and décor of this restaurant. It is a very bright and spacious setting!
Moving onto the food aspect of this newly relocated restaurant. They have a variety of "seasonal items" available on a nightly basis and they also have an omakase course (sushi/sashimi) option which includes an selection of appetizers and homemade dessert. This is an option that is newly added to their menu since their relocation. I've tried it a couple of times and I got to admit - it was well worth it! I have also tried the regular sushi omakase course (without the appetizers and desserts) a few times and have been impressed each and every time. The freshness of the fish and how the toro just melts in your mouth - to DIE FOR! And for dessert. Their soy ice cream is a staple on their dessert menu now, together with their mandarin pie! Their desserts are all homemade and I will definitely recommend the soy ice cream! Awesome stuff! I promise! And of course there is the mandarin pie. The only well-known dessert at the old location, this dessert choice still seems to be the lightest of options - this pie is light and fluffy!
In sum... go try it out if you have never been. Make reservations well in advance. Try their sushi omakase and their soy ice cream!
