| - I have been eating at Zen for many years in the Scarborough location, and I have always love the sushi there and particularly the Omakase sushi when seating at the sushi bar.
I have just been there again at the new woodbine location and would like to write a review now that I am a "yelper" too. I guess this review here is really to reconfirm again their sushi is still as good as before, even after they have moved recently. It's true that the menu has changed alot in the new place and the many a la Carte that many used to enjoyed are no longer being offered. But for me, I always go to Zen for Sushi only so this change doesn't impact me at all (I am sure it may have to other customers).
For the Omakase Sushi menu, they offered two pricing menus, $65 and $85. With $85, you get extra fish soup (or other soup the kitchen may offer for the day), appetizer, and dessert. I think it's well worth the extra $20 to get those extra 3 items. I have tried the Omakase twice ($85) since they moved to this new location and the Sushi being served is great! I would always prefer eating at the Sushi bar because the experience is also different, for example, the seaweed is still crunchy when the piece of sushi is served on your plate and eat it immediately ... it's minor in details but it can make a difference at times.
-- edited: section removed as a reviewer corrected me on type of fish, thx for the correction! :) --
But you don't have to pick the Omakase menu if you don't want to and you can always order the sushi separately and they will charge you the sushi by order. But for me, I just pick the Omakase so I dont need to do any thinking in picking what I want.
The service is also excellent where the service staffs are attentive and caring!
