Zen Sushi — Restaurant in Rome

I have no complaints about the service and the environment as they were good. But the sushi was not authentic at all despite the very visually pleasing and appetizing presentation. It's the typical Westernized Japanese sushi of an unusually large size, with a heavy use of mayonnaise and fish roe. Fish was not fresh either. Nothing like those in Tokyo though I had slight hopes that the food would be authentic seeing some Asian (Japanese-looking) chefs standing behind the conveyor belts. The soy sauce was too salty for sushi dipping as it's supposed to be lighter in Japan. Well, I'd say by European standard, this sushi shop is alright but by Japanese standard, this is no doubt...

I had very high expectations on this place since 99% of the comments are pretty good..unfortunately It was so disappointed that I couldn't even finish my food.It's not a Japanese restaurant but a Chinese bad place.Horrible food..place is old fashion..price is too high. If this is the best sushi in Rome then I will never ever eat sushi here again. Stay away from this...

This Japanese restaurant has the freshest fish and seafood. I've never had oyster nigiri before and this was one of the highlights. The quality is simply the best. My niece said it was her favourite meal in Rome! We went back. The staff and servers were friendly, attentive and accommodating. It gets busy with locals so make a reservation or be prepared to wait...
