Sushi Zen

Amazing Sushi

by Maddiesmom at Citysearch

This sushi restaurant is one of my favorites. Located in Midtown, it is very easy to get to. The setting is beautiful and the staff is great. The service is fast, great for pre theater dining. Best kept secret. The sushi rolls are fresh and delicious and the chef is world known.

• Pros: Great, fresh fish

Fantastic Barachirashi and fugu!!

by latouramg at Citysearch

I've read the article on the-feedbag prior to going to Sushi Zen

I had the Barachirashi for lunch there! GREAT! stuff!!

It was so great we decided to go have dinner the following evening

I sat in front of Chef Suzuki as he recommended the Fugu! it was fantastic!

the fish is definitely fresh well prepared and well presented

the preparation process was very entertaining!

It was really great to find this place!

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND GETTING A SEAT AT THE SUSHI BAR!

will go back again!

price was a bit on the high side but IMO compared to the quality of the food and treatment you get

else where it was well worth the price!

• Pros: Great presentation, fresh fish, very entertaining sushi bar
• Cons: slightly on the high side. so grab a seat at the sushi bar to get your money worth!

perfect pre-theatre dinner

What a great place to go before the theatre. Good pieces of fresh sushi and sashimi just blocks away from your show!

• Pros: good quality sushi
• Cons: a bit pricy but not for the neighborhood

The best sushi in NY

by cat_nyc2005 at Citysearch

I go to many sushi places in the city and Sushi Zen is the best so far. Waiters and waitresses are polite and helpful. But, just make sure to make a reservation-it's usually quite crowded.

• Pros: food

Service - Service - Service!

I piled on the wasabi, forgot my manners in my haze, & thoughtlessly placed my chop sticks down in a manner associated with someone who finished a meal-two parallel chopsticks placed on the bowl, rather than two chop sticks placed in a cross hatch position-suddenly, the server appeared out of no where (I assume the server kept a watchful eye upon us, but I never felt his presence in the slightest) offered to clear my plate-I write, "offered" because I want to differentiate his professional manner from the countless "rushers" who wisk our plates away at other establishments. When I declined, he made certain not to offer again- even when I repeated the mistake-being attentive enough to notice, offer and refill my wine glass without reference to nor notice of my table manners. Kudos to the staff and the other review -- they are polite in the true sense.

• Pros: fish, service, allergy friendly
• Cons: midtown, MIDTOWN, MIDTOWN
