Sushi Zen

I love this gem of a local restaurant. I love sushi & I love traditional Japanese food. I was very interested from the get go in seeing that they had a Bento lunch special that included saba shioyaki, sashimi, California roll, salad and miso soup. I ordered it and it was delicious.They also serve Gen Mai Cha, makes my heart smile. The food was excellent. Even more impressive is the lunch specials that they serve to the kids from Lincoln High & other schools. They have an open booth in the front, specifically for high school kids (similar to an old school movie theater ticket booth) to where the kids are lined up. They prepare boxes just for them. Also, a ton of local construction workers, SFPD, locals in general. The owners greet everyone when they come in & also do the traditional thank you & goodbye when everyone leaves. They have pictures lining the walls of their regulars on one side of the room. On the other side, drawings from regulars, mostly kids and teenagers. I love this place!!! I took my husband there for lunch last week. We had our normal sushi restaurants for years. Our former favorite changed hands. He was skeptical when we went in. He was wowed when he was served his food. It's our new favorite place.

I love the dragon roll and shrimp tempura Mmmm

I ate at Sushi Zen and the staff was super nice. The portions are average. I had the beef teriyaki and it was a little dry. I did like the sushi rolls and tempura. I like the neighborhood vibe and their walls were covered with pictures of the patrons, which was interesting. Definitely family friendly. I recommend. The bill was $129 for 3 people and we had no drinks or alcohol.

Sushi Zen has good food and their prices are fair. Quick Service and a cozy atmosphere. Winter wonderland(imitation crab and tempura) is a good roll for folks that don’t like raw rolls but like the sushi idea. My favorite roll is a dragon roll and I usually order those two rolls when I do take out. Parking: Parking is currently not great at all because of the Taraval construction going on as of 2/16/24 Kid-friendliness: Tempura items and bento boxes Wheelchair accessibility: Accessible but not to much room inside.

Awesome friendly service. Delicious sushi especially the British Columbia roll. We love this place.

Best restaurant ever. Great atmosphere, Kevin(The owner) is very sociable and kind, and the food is very, very high quality. Been coming here for many years, and never gets tiring.
