For our first time trying Zen, I’ll give it a 5 star review. We came here for date night tonight on a Wednesday night and it was perfectly not crowded. The host greeted us quickly, sat us, and we got our drink orders pretty immediately I ordered an eel roll because when I asked the waiter about the raw sushi rolls that are wrapped in radish/cucumber rather than rice and seaweed he said it was only a special roll? Whatever that means I also ordered shrimp hibachi dinner while my husband ordered the NY strip dinner. We decided to dine in rather than sit around the hibachi area The restaurant was beautiful inside, high ceilings, clean, and modern with bar seating and sushi bar seating When I got the eel roll, the first thing I noticed was how there was barely any eel in there compared to other sushi restaurants I’ve been to (which has been all over the states). But it did taste pretty fresh so next time I’ll dine in just for sushi and will update my review The hibachi dinner was great. It wasn’t super salty like other hibachi restaurants. I felt like my husband’s steak was a bit over cooked but he enjoyed his meal Besides the skimping out on eel, the only problem I had was waiting longer than usual for our hibachi dinner to come out. I was expecting our food to be nice and hot but it was actually partially cold like it was sitting in the back for a bit We were starving so at this point we were scarfing our food down. I will be back for more sushi and to try their noodle dish!

Atmosphere is fun! Amazing food. Great service. Wonderful cook at the grill and sushi was beautiful and tasted as great as it looked. Highly recommend and will definitely come back again.

Great show, great presentation! And the food is very good!

We have been at this restaurant several times and it never disappoints . Sushi is the freshest I have had, hibachi portions are super good and the food is delicious. It might be more expensive than other sushi and hibachi places in this area but it is worth it. The staff is also super nice and welcoming.

Pretty quality experience at zen. Tried multiple rolls and they were all fantastic and we enjoyed the fried calamari as well. They were a little short staffed and covered up but still did an excellent job of taking care of their customers. We’ll definitely be back.

Our new date night spot!!! Our amazing server was fantastic, the food was absolutely delicious and the presentation was gorgeous! We felt welcomed, everyone on the staff was positive and happy. I told my Fiance that this is the best spot I've been to in Auburn hands down. I spent 15 years in the restaurant industry and from the ambiance, presentation, staff, and overall experience I have to say I was blown away! Thank you Zen!

Great sushi with a wide variety of selections. My wife and daughter love the hibachi. Service is nice and attentive. Restaurant has been very clean every time we have gone.

The place is nice and the atmosphere is good. The food was amazing and the sushi was fresh. The greeter lacked personality and was very nonchalant. She would flourish in a more behind the scenes role.
