    Zen continues to have the highest quality & best selection of sushi & sashimi in the area. Locally owned & operated. The head sushi chef has literally worked around the world & is innovative in his creations. We continue to go as often as we can, usually once a week. There is a reason that on some nights there will be a group of Japanese guests from Toyota in Georgetown.

    As always, Zen was a joy. They have figured out how to vary slightly their menu offerings without disappointing regular customers like us with the changes. We always enjoy the experience, the service is always first-rate, and we never spend a lot of money there.

    Zen’s kitchen and frontbstaff always outperforms every time. My family loves how the frontstaff makes them feel. They also show incredible teamwork.

    We had a really great experience at Zen sushi and sake. We were welcomed by Stephanie who I had called earlier to ask if we could have an earlier reservation. It was her first day but you'd never know. She was polite, very pleasant and accommodating. Great decision hiring her! Adam was our waiter. Very knowledgeable and great personality. The food was delicious and we were happy with all our choices. Tempura vegetables, imitation crab and cucumber salad with avocado and Krispy krunch roll. Everything was delicious and incredibly fresh. We can't wait to come back again!

    I go to Zen regularly, and I don’t see that changing any time in the future. I love the food, the service and the atmosphere.
