Reviews for Zen Japanese Restaurant in West Vancouver, BC

Really nice quality food. Good service and lots of seating. Good Saki menu!

Nice looking Sushi Restaurant with a lot of good food options. This is definitely on the pricey side and this does affect how I... rate this place. Pro: Our server was very knowledgeable and very attentive. The presentation of the food was very nice. Therainbow role was very good. All the food was very fresh. My Sashimi plate was very good with about 12 pieces, which alsoincluded two marinade Sashimi options in a small bowl Con: Neither my soup or my wife's tea appeared with out asking for itagain and again for a spoon. They have a different servers to deliver drinks and food, maybe the source of the missing items. Portion size is on the smaller side . The spicy tuna role was a little too spicy to taste the tuna. The miso soup was a littletoo much miso paste and hence too salty. The octopus and clam pieces were very small on the Sashimi plate. The ocean viewthrough the forest, a lot of people commenting about, is very limited and I would not report that there is ocean view. Overall avery nice restaurant but in my opinion you can have a equally tasty and satisfying Japanese food experience for much much lessthan what you pay here. See my other reviews for some examples.

The food was a hit and miss. The 7 black tiger prawns tempura were very good. This restaurant makes GREAT tempura dishes. The... seafood buckwheat soba dish was disappointing. A bit too spicy to enjoy any flavor other then the heat. As well, the fishitems were not flaky as if they were overcooked ahead of time They were too dry and hard. The spicy tuna roll was just OK.

Incredible sushi. Very high quality. You can get some very creative and yummy rolls (jalapeno one is a stand out). Or if you're... into traditional sushi and sashimi, that's also excellent. I would come back again. Read more

Zen and Miku are definitely the top sushi spots in Vancouver. So since I was in the area. Definitely had to hit up Zen! Top... notch food and top notch service! Read more

The Korean pork Don is really good, yet, you probably need more rice for this because the sauce was too much. However, not... preferred the chicken karage don because my friend said the sauce is to strong for this dish. Read more
