text: Let me start out by saying I love sushi I am willing to pay reasonable prices for good sushi And I understand and even accept the fact that we are landlocked and will never get super fresh fish But that being said there are some pretty good sushi places in the valley Zen is not one of them nnThe service was good and the waitress helpful She tried to coach some of the sushi virgins in our group about the menu She was quite good at telling us what the items were but it was obvious that she was simply repeating what she was told She did not really have the answers to a whole lot of questions But she tried and I will give her an A for effort nnThe fish well pretty much universally the fish lacked any flavor The rolls were quite expensive and all the fried asparagus and other strong ingredients covered up the fish flavor It seemed as if they knew that the fish had no flavor so they intentionally tried to cover it up Everything was either rolled with asparagus fried or covered in spicy mayo or chili sauce Any of the roe that was used as garnish was so dry it would roll around the plate The appetizers were good but way over priced Ten dollars for lettuce leaves and a half a cup of filling is a bit much nnTotal bill per person for half an appetizer iced tea and a roll and a half each Roughly forty dollars If you like sushi go somewhere else enjoy it more and save money
