    Some of the negative reviews are so petty and could have been worked out with a phone call to the manager lol Been coming here since 2004. Have prices gone up? Yes. That’s more political related and not by owners choice. Minimum wage, raw food costs, etc have sky rocketed. Anyways. I’ve only had one so so meal and that’s because I arrived 20 min late when I called the order in. I’ve eaten there several thousand times and food is always delicious. Always hot and perfect spice. Only thing I hate is they don’t take cards. They should put and ATM machine inside and make a fortune lol. But if you don’t have cash and you eat there frequently just give them your name and number and tell them you will get them on the next trip. Then pay them next time. They will keep a record for you. But if you’re a good human being I’m sure you won’t screw them over. Anyways this place rocks and I might be biased as I eat there 4-5 days a week but I know I can always expect a hot fresh meal when I do. Highly recommend them.

    Their teriyaki bowls are the best! I always order the #0 spicy. I also love their chicken salad. The dressing is so delicious. Great food, great service, and affordable.

    Great food, great service. I've been eating here for years, and it's never disappointed my appetite. Good for the family.

    We got there about five after 6 PM and they close at 6:30. There was other people eating in the dining room. We ordered our salads and the guy said do you mind taking it to go? We’re gonna close in 25 minutes. The salads were soggy, to much dressing . I felt rushed and pressured to leave ! I will never go back there again. The salads were not fresh and there was way too much dressing on the salads. I used to go there all the time because of their salads. They used to put the dressing on the side. It was like this was the end of the day salad mix. Very disappointed.I got sick to my stomach immediately after eating it. I want my money back!

    Good fast delicious food. Noisy though but great experience.

    If you're just looking for a decent sushi roll, DON'T come to this place. They only have a california roll (which i ended up getting) and it seems like they bought it pre-made from the supermarket. Hard, chewy rice with barely any filling inside and some old looking ginger to cleanse your pallette after that bad experience.

    been coming here for about 2 years, honestly the best comfort food ever. their food is made with quality and love, which is not an overstatement. food is also made super fast and portioned very well. customer service could not be better- their staff is super friendly and they obviously care about their customers. whenever i’m having a difficult day their food always cheers me up. overall a very nice restaurant.

    .Have been eating there for years....but the chicken in the last three chicken salads has been seriously chewy. Sushi rolls were sloppy, rice wasn't quite done.

  • 5/5 Will S. 4 years ago on Google
    My wife and daughter love the Zeni-ya chicken salad !!!

  • 3/5 M-A-T-T 2 years ago on Google
    Really carried by their perfect chicken salad w/ rice underneath. Best salad in existence. Everything else i’ve tried has been ok.

  • 5/5 Kathleen M. 3 years ago on Google
    Wonderful food. The chicken salad is the best I have had any where. I also love their bowls. They are delicious. The service is good and the food is prepared quickly. Hardly have to wait at all unless it is noon time rush.

  • 3/5 Sandra “Emma Lee Strange” G. 3 years ago on Google
    Spicy Chicken Teriyaki Bowl just ok. I've definitely have had better teriyaki bowls else where. The chicken is as dry and bland as it looks. Should've gone for something else is all I could say. I hear the other menu items are better but definitely wouldn't recommend this item
