| - You know you're hooked on Yelp when you make a date with a friend just to earn a badge. But that's exactly what I did with a fellow Yelper as we set out on a quest to earn the Sushi Sensei badge!
Not only did we want to earn the badge, but we also wanted to be able to compare the restaurants like for like. We decided that an order of California rolls would be our staple in every restaurant and we would supplement that with an order of the restaurant's feature rolls. Now, you're probably thinking "that's a LOT of mayonnaise and fake crab". Well reader, read on, because although we risked OD-ing on mayonnaise and getting mercury poisoning, we came out with some great tips for anyone seeking sushi in Calgary's downtown area!
Sushi Stop #4: ZEN Japanese Restaurant
ZEN was a solid sushi stop. By the time we reached ZEN, our stomachs were bursting with rice, and mayonnaise poisoning seemed inevitable. But we pushed on and ordered one last order of California rolls. While they didn't blow my mind, they were solid California rolls.
ZEN had solid sushi and good tea. The atmosphere was good. Not overly fancy, not overly basic or shabby. We were able to walk right into a table, which is a nice change from the busy lunch time crowds they usually get.
Would I go back? Yeah, for sure. But I think I need a little sushi break first!
