Editorial Review for Zen Japanese Food Fast – by Susan Kirr
In Short
This cool, simple interior features deep red walls, reed mats suspended from the ceiling, inventive halogen lights and utilitarian stools and tables bolted to the floor. Young folks on a budget come to sit and linger, but those who appreciate good food and fast service have also discovered it. Sushi rolls are super-cheap, as are dishes like sesame soba noodle salad--chilled buckwheat noodles in a sesame soy vinaigrette.

I like the atmosphere here and love how cheap the prices are. If you are craving sushi and want a place that is quick and affordable, Zen is great. This location on S Congress can get crowded at times but I think it is worth it. My favs are the philly roll and the spicy tuna roll.
Pros: Good value
Cons: Service can be slow at peak times

Zen has won me over, noticed this a year ago and started going to Congress Ave store, then opened up Guadalupe location and we love it there. The kitchen is newer, so are tools, the food is much better there. Love the Steak & Shimp w/ Udon, the Ahi Tuna is great, and this place rocks. The owner has a great thing but could do better w/ more marketing and expand on variety. I put in my 2 cents w/ the General Mgmt, but no changes after several months. Regardless, you gotta try it! Great for lunch!
Pros: Food, Atmosphere, Ambience
