Now And Zen

This is an odd sushi place with great service and very weirdly cut chanclas of fish and rolls made with tons of rice. My sashimi platter ($40) had tons of five types of fish but they were giant chunks and had to be cut (with difficulty because I did not have a decent knife). On top of the fish were a stack of flowers! Apps were also pretty heavy handed on the size and oil. Tempura cauliflower was heavy and doused with a sweet sauce. Crab croquettes were HUGE and had good flavor just should have been bite sized. Not sure what is going on in this venerable place but the owner should stop by....

Didn't hate it but I've had better. Dumplings were amazing. Sushi sucked and was over the top, in a bad way. Pieces were entirely too big and flavor was not complimentary. The Creme Brulee was overtly sweet and paired with a chocolate mouse which again, did not go well together. For over a Benjamin, I expected better. Reduce your roll sizes to bite size and reduce the price.

Something is a little off about the food here. Fish is cut too thick, the sushi has too much rice and it’s warmer, mushier, and less seasoned for sushi. lots of Americanized things like cream cheese rolls. Doesn’t feel like an authentic Japanese sushiya but the prices do. Nigiri is a bad deal compared to how much fish you get in certain rolls for the same price. It’s good but something isn’t quite right.
