Zen is an old time favourite. I've been dining with them since they were in Scarborough. This is still the place to go for premium sushi and sashimi.
The decor at this new location is modern, high end. The menu is no fuss traditional sushi. You come here for fresh tasting sushi. You won't find the gimmicky mayo laced Maki rolls here. Be warned, prices here are at a premium to match the quality. (Example, $80 for 13 pieces of sushi. )
Tonight I was pleasantly surprised when i tried the Japanese mackerel topped with onions ginger. Wow! What a pop of flavour. Clean, fresh taste. Didn't expect that from mackerel.
Tip one: sit at the bar and order sushi to get full bar experience as they present you with each piece one at a time.
Tip two: order the Mandarin Orange pie! Refreshing, light.
I gave this review 4 stars because i was very disappointed with their rice in the sushi. It fell apart upon picking up. Boo. That's a big no in my books. Especially for a Japanese restaurant of this stature.
