sushi sushi sushi !!! doesn't get any better...

by yousokwesi

first date is a MUST ! ! !

my experience at Z Sushi was fun filled and memorable from day one to now almost every friday over the past 15 months. the sushi bar is a perfect size for you and your date or small party. the food is always fresh and never disappointing. i just wish they were open later everyday... thats my only complaint but then again it keeps me on my toes for that next day :)

i've brought friend, dates, neighbors and kids. they have a kids menu and two rooms away from the sushi bar if you like to be "alone". the main drinking bar serves more like a bonus... i wouldn't go there for just a drink or to watch sports. its not rowdy enough for that type of horse play.

to each his own!

enjoy

  • Pros: ambience, almost no wait time, fresh sea food

Good food and friendly service

by lyric1127

We've been going to Z sushi for 5 years now and it has never let us down. The fish is on the most part fresh and well prepared. The chefs are young but seem to know their stuff. I see and recognize plenty of returning patrons so something keeps bringing us back. Great place!

  • Pros: everything
  • Cons: at a weird corner of the street and might be hard to get to
