Editorial Review for Zen Sushi – by Patrick Green

In Short
You might recognize Zen Sushi if you're a mating masochist who watches reality dating shows like "Blind Date" and "The Fifth Wheel." Both have made this alluring sushi restaurant and bar the setting for many disaster dates. Bamboo-lined walls and Asian-inspired decor fill the spacious bar, which has two levels and a cushy outdoor smoking spot. The upstairs area features comfy lounge seating and a colorful Kabuki-like stage. Downstairs is like a low-key dive bar--perfect for watching aan act on the small stage in the adjoining dining area.

1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

This place feels like it is about to fall down. There are holes in the heap grey plaster exterior. Left overs from upset stomachs from the hot dog/bacon vendo that stands outside. Oh, did I mention there was a gunfight last night, over 12 shots fired. Class A joint if you ask me. If you don't get fatally ill from the fish just bring tha heater.

Pros: let me think...

Cons: bad fish, violent, filthy, broken restrooms

2 Star Rating: Below Average

this place mystifys me. no idea why people still go there. i thought for awhile it was b/c the bands playing upstairs, but i always thought the space was weird and cramped. patio was too loud and the food ... don't even get me started.

Cons: food not good, parking bad, there are better live music venues in the area
