We've been regulars at Zen for the past 15 years. Delighted to see their new location with stunning upscale décor and new omakase "course" offerings in addition to their omakase sushi/sashimi main dishes. A little sad that prices went up quite a bit with their expansion or upgrade though not really a surprise to us!
For the longest time, desserts is Zen's weakest link. Oh no, not anymore! The dessert platter served as part of their omakase course is definitely one of the best Japanese desserts in my books. (Almost at par with Sushi Kaji's!) So the $20 increment for the "course" is well worth it! You get a somen (noodle soup) in lieu of misoshiru (miso soup), an assorted appetizer plate (OMG! Soooo good!) plus a dessert platter (Yum!!!).
If you plan to dine there on the weekend, book well in advance. And if you prefer sushi counter seating, call at least one week in advance, esp for weekends.
No longer open for lunch! Closed Mon.
