    Excellent food for a non sushi person also. Good prices. Fast serving and delivery. Minuses_table was dirty and stained. Plates were full of dust and stained, had to ask new clean ones. Hope the kitchen was cleaner. This is the only reason I would not go back, not clean.

    I tasted few dishes and I love them all. The ramen, the famous Japanese noodle dish, was very tasty, as well as tuna sashimi. The place is very intimate, quite, giving you a good vibe.

    Perfect We chose Zen Sushi Dorobanti every single time. Always best quality, fresh fish, delicious sushi. There was no single time to be disappointed, and we visit this place for 2 years now. Highly recommended! We always chose classic options, like nigiri and sashimi, so I can only recommended these. Seafood soup was also good. The service is always very fast and nice. Overall it’s always a nice dining experience to be there.

    I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the tuna. Some bits are pricy for local standards but happy to recommend it.

    I recently came to visit my dad, who lives nearby, and he suggested we eat here as he has been here before and loved it. I really liked it too. Everything we ordered was really tasty and nicely presented. I am vegetarian and there were tons of options for me. Service was professional and and attentive. We will come again for sure

    Zen experience in a chill lounge atmosphere. Good food (spicy pork soup, nigiri and maki set and a starter having a complicated name), nice, friendly and polite staff, good prosecco & japanese beer and a delicate dessert (we had yuzu cake). Nice place for enjoying a piece of Japan.

    ZenSushi is a very safe choice if you want to it good Japanese food everytime you go there. I go there regularly and tried a lot of the menu. The menu is extremely varied with a great selection of all kinds of Japanese dishes. The prices are adequate for the quality of the food and not too expensive. They have multiple locations throughout Bucharest and all of them uphold the same standards.

    by far the best sushi i’ve had. intense flavors, and fascinating textures, perfect mix of spicy, sweet, juicy and crispy. very kind and friendly staff, great coffee. my personal favorite order: thai soup followed by grill salmon maki and matcha cheesecake. i’ll definitely recommend this place for both dining in and takeout. atmosphere is very cozy and relaxed, perfect for my taste. i’ll keep coming here!

    As usual, very good food. We love to eat or order from Zen Sushi restaurants, as they are really careful with their food to be amazing all the time. The service is also very nice, the staff is kind, smiling and really welcoming. Good job, thank you 🤗🤗

    Very tasty sushi, I go often there and the food is very tasty. I recommend you to do a reservation in advance because it is quite full all the time.

    Extremely expensive (we paid 200 lei ~ 40€ for two people) for quite bad quality. The sushi was ok, but I also got the tempura veggies and it was not good. It was tasteless and with a lot of oil. If you want to eat sushi, you will probably pay the same amount but make sure you go somewhere with better food. Also, the music is really loud on the terrace. Staff was really nice and helpful.

    It's a 10/10 in every aspect: service, food, atmosphere. Even the prices are decent, rather unexpectedly low. It's ideal for a date or going out with close friends or family. Everything is clean, cozy and nice.

  • 1/5 Alexandra G. 4 years ago on Google
    This is a disappointment for the japanese food culture. The ramen tastes like a cheap romanian soup, the meat in it is so hard and has a weird texture whatsoever. If you want good ramen or noodle based food AVOID this place. The deserts are mediocre. I ve been served some refrozen cheap ice cream... Waste of money. It wasn t cheap at all.

  • 4/5 Mih P. 4 years ago on Google
    Good food, nice place, but they really have to fix their bathroom door lock (it shows red/occupied all the time) and for those not knowing it's just a broken lock....they can wait a lot thinking someone's in there :)

  • 3/5 Duc N. 2 years ago on Google
    The ramen was quite okay but it was not authentic. They serve kind of “Shoyu-Ramen”, soja-sauce-based broth. But the Chashu meat was good but: 1. In japan the pictures on the menu always show the ingredients. Seaweed salat and nori were missing (see pics) 2. The egg was not half cooked as in every authentic japanese restaurant and in Japan aswell. It’s not just different cooking style, it’s wrong prepared. But there are more cases in europe like this. 3. The egg was not pickled in soya-sauce as usual. This is wrong prepared as well. I would bet that the chef is not japanese. The service also seemed to be overstressed. I waited 25min for the bill.

  • 4/5 Ioana N. 2 years ago on Google
    The ramen I had was okay, the sushi set I had was tasty. The bathroom was clean. The oranges for the fresh I drank were sweet, so I enjoyed it deeply. The staff was great and listened when I asked for a double sake portion in the same pot to share with my friend. The place is small and private, but overall I had a good experience.

  • 2/5 Octavian G. 6 months ago on Google • 4 reviews
    Being the only table at the time no attention was given. I had to go to the waiting staff to ask for drinks. Wasn’t provided the beverage menu upon arrival. It seems to me that the staff wasn’t ready to welcome the guests although the restaurant was open for business ( 18:30-20:30). It was my first visit in this venue and was no information provided about the ordering system. The waitress was surprised that I didn’t know that I had to “use the remote” for calling the server. Any way, overall the food was good, but the service does not match the minimum required in a restaurant.

  • 5/5 Vlad V. 3 years ago on Google
    One of the best sushi experience in Bucharest. Moderate prices, good sushi, overall a good value for the money. We liked it.

  • 5/5 Isaac Anthony M. 8 months ago on Google
    Very nice food. Was my 2nd visit to this restaurant and it's very nice to see new menu items like the oysters, these are absolutely to die for! Excellent fresh sushi and ramen. We'll be back soon

  • 5/5 Florentina D. 2 years ago on Google
    The experience was indeed zen and also included lots of sushi. The restaurant is all cleaned up, the personeel very polite and nice, the food amazing, the price a bit hight, but somewhat understandeble. For sure we will return for more culinary experience and next time for a sake.

  • 5/5 Erick V. 9 months ago on Google
    Excellent food and service. The tables are dirty and sticky, and the air conditioning doesn't work. We were sweating the whole time.

  • 5/5 Eduard S. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best sushi in Bucharest. The menu is very diversified and the food is great. Small fish scales here and there but I didn’t find it a big issue since it’s raw fish. The personnel is also very friendly and respectful.

  • 1/5 Claudiu P. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I was among the first customers of the day (there was another person on the terrace, but apparently he was not serving food). Only one meal in the shade, but we were very rudely refused by the waiter on the grounds that the meal was reserved - in about 45 minutes. The "terrace" does not have any umbrella or canopy. I wonder what happens when it rains ... (Original) Am fost printre primii clienți ai zilei (pe terasa mai era o persoana, dar aparent nu servea masa). O singura masa la umbra, dar am fost refuzați foarte nepoliticos de către ospătar pe motiv ca masa era rezervata - peste vreo 45 de minute. "Terasa" nu dispune de niciun fel de umbrela sau copertina. Ma întreb ce se întâmplă atunci când plouă...

Prices are ok.

    (Translated by Google) I ordered through Glovo, very disappointed in taste and serving. Very small pieces. I do not recommend, I took 1 serving of Maki For Two, it has no taste and expensive. In the picture it looks like a rich menu but it is not. The sauce containers are very small, they are not for 2 servings. In the picture it is clear how sauce is. Pt 102.5 lei with all the delivery costs THE SERVICE IS NOT MADE. (Original) Am comandat prin Glovo, foarte dezamagita de gust si de portie. Bucatile foarte mici. Nu va recomand, mi-am luat 1 portie de Maki For Two, nu are nici un gust si scumpa. In poza pare un meniu bogat dar nu este asa. Recipientele pt sos sunt foarte mici, nu sunt pt 2 portii. In poza se vede clar cat sos este. Pt 102,5 lei cu tot cu costurile de livrare NU SE MERITA serviciul.

    Fancy place and good food. The place was almost full when I’ve been there with my little baby.

  • 3/5 Delia 3 years ago on Google
    Sadly we had to get takeaway because covid restrictions left us with no place to sit (unless we could handle sitting on scorching chairs under the 30+° sun). We got over this rapidly especially since the staff was so friendly and trying to help, but it was disappointing to find out the pork ramen I had asked for (twice) had no meat at all. The food was fresh and we had no problems eating it, but the supposed pork ramen had different ingredients from the usual recipes japanese chefs use, verging a tiny bit on what Wagamama offers as chicken ramen in the UK (corn, broccoli and a different ‘rooty’ smell, similar to ginger but not quite). The chicken katsu curry had a nice size and generous meat, but the sauce tasted more like maggi/other flavour enhancers rather than real curry. An overall alright experience with small things that made it uncomfortable; I have to repeat though that the staff was extremely nice to us and attenuated the visit’s negative sides. I’ll try sticking to the other japanese themed restaurant down the street though.
