Sushi Zen Southside

Best Sushi in SAV

I have tried to spare this restaurant from a bad review in the past but TODAY 12/22/2023. I am done !!! Me and my sister arrived at 7:00PM and we waited with our kids in the lobby patiently. Patiently waiting party of 4 in the lobby & we were in communication with the young male server. He was very polite letting us know table #15 would be ours !! We were seated after about 30mins at table #15 (7:33pm). I stepped to the rr with my son and niece. Came back to table 15 where the young man sat us and was told that we needed to get up because there was “a party with reservations” by his older coworker woman . We were definitely picked at. I’m not sure if the “party that they were referring to were “friends or family” but wrong is wrong. That building is too small for reservations so I honestly believe she lied to give them our table. How is it remotely professional to tell someone to get up after already being seated with our children. Very unprofessional & tasteless.. We politely just left altogether. They will not receive another hard earned dollar of mine.

Service was meh. The server seemed annoyed and confused the whole time. The sushi was good, the egg thing was green and nasty but the cheesecake was so good. So overall not the worst experience but wont be back.

The food was delicious and the waitress was so nice. We got our food very fast. I really recommend this place.

I have worked in Japanese restaurants for several years, was a sushi chef for two years, and am a sushi connoisseur. This is the best sushi I have ever had. The fish was melt in your mouth fresh, bladework was immaculate, rolls were tight and beautiful. Sashimi and nigiri were absolutely immaculate. Atmosphere was warm and welcoming, traditional floor seating (take your shoes off!), Japanese artwork, lighting, a full suit of yoroi on display, all hidden in this little gem of a restaurant tucked in an unassuming strip mall. Staff was exceptionally prepared and attentive without being overbearing. Owner visited our table with complimentary appetizers! Do not miss this absolute wonder of a restaurant. Redefine what you think Sushi means! Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian rolls, Ramen, appetizers. Dietary restrictions: Sashimi is gluten free! The very definition if paleo! Kid-friendliness: Kids loved the traditional floor-seating tables and Japanese soda bottles! They had a blast! Wheelchair accessibility: Several wheelchair accessible tables.

Sushi Zen. This is real sushi. This is good sushi. This is a good option if you are looking to try all the different kinds of rolls. Quality is not cheap.

There is a very good variety here. The sushi were very fresh and delicious. The waitress was friendly.
