Try Mukini's or Momiji's in Downtown Sac instead. Horrible Customer Service.

by jhoot

This restaurant was horrible. We saw our waitress maybe once, couldn't get even a refill on water, 30 minutes to get a Teriyaki plate that was bland and had a lot of fried breading with no meat in it. When we tried to send it back we were told that it tasted great, had nothing wrong with it and could not have something else. The manager was rude (not to mention covered in tatoos and piercings) and left us in a bad mood for our musical we were going to see. We were appalled at the lack of basic manners in a manager no less. Maybe she was just having a bad night but don't take it out on your customers if you want them to ever come back.

• Pros: Rolls came out quick and were ok
• Cons: Teriyaki was sooooo slow and bad customer service

THE BEST!!! So glad the chefs from Taka's are back!!

by alyssajones

I used to eat at this restaurant when it was on S street...and called Takas. Now Zen Sushi is operated by the same chefs but in a different location. I must tell you...I have lived many places..including Seattle, and the bay area. (both are known for great sushi) This sushi is some of the best out there....especially for being in the Sacramento area.

One thing you must keep in mind...Sushi is a different experience. Its no Ruth Chris steakhouse. Its not Posh. Sorry... if thats what you expect. You cant expect to make a reservation and get right in. Its slammin on the weekends at Zen!! geez...actually its slammin almost every night. BECAUSE ITS GOOD!!!! You have to know a GREAT sushi place for what it is: GREAT SUSHI!!

Yes, it is a little cramped. Yes the servers will leave you hanging for a little bit on a busy night. BUT THE SUSHI IS TO DIE FOR!!!!! Some great rolls to try are: The City roll, the Jason, the fong & fong...and my ULTIMATE FAVORITE: THE volcano!!!!!

Please dont listen to these people with their stories of their kids...and the wait...and the rude servers. This place is absolutley worth any of that stuff...and its not always like that. and its NOT THAT BAD. if you just know that good sushi is not a 5 star gourmet style restaurant. its sushi...real sushi....not fake california mikuni sushi. oops....did i just say that out loud?

TRUST ME !!!! GO TRY!!!!! Its awesome

• Pros: THE SUSHI!!! thats all you need
• Cons: servers are very busy, there is sometimes a long wait, place is small
