    The food is fantastic. As always, and our waiter. He was great. I’m sorry I didn’t get his name. Highly recommend if you like sushi or fried tempura that’s the place to go.!!

    It had been several years since we visited last. The food and service was better than we remembered or expected. The ambiance is fine, but not quite the same level as the food. Easily a top two sushi restaurant in Lex. The bar was mildly disappointing but that may have been more my issue than theirs. We will definitely be back soon.

    Simply the best place for sushi. I've dined here repeatedly and always find something new and delicious to order. The menu is excellent and goes beyond the usual. Great staff and service. Highly recommended!

    Fantastic sushi and soup! The amount of food you get for your money is a great deal. The service was quick. We were the only people in there so the atmosphere was odd, but I would 1000% come back and also get takeout!

    Zen Sushi has outstanding sushi! We enjoy sushi every we go and Zen is at the top of the list. My wife and I had a wonderful dinner experience. Adam did a great job providing excellent service. Zen Sushi has our highest recommendation. We will be back the next time we visit Lexington.
