    Like seeing family at this stage of our patronage of Zen Sushi. We always feel welcome with or without a reservation and we love how the staff come by for a visit when they aren’t busy. We love Zen!

    We were there on Saturday evening of Easter weekend and it wasn’t as busy as it typically is which was so nice as it was a quieter atmosphere however it is not a noisy spot. The food is ALWAYS sooooo good, service is genuinely friendly and good. Great value and it is such fresh, healthy food!

    We have our book club meeting in Zen’s private room twice a year. Food is fresh and delicious, servers are friendly and professional, and it is right at our backyard. Very grateful for having this restaurant in West Vancouver.
