Zen Japanese Izakaya - Houston

Absolutely hidden gem! fantastic and authentic Japanese cuisine that reminded me of my own travel by japan. the staff was very friendly and the ambiente was great. they would never think that such a wonderful place exists in this small shopping area, but I am so glad that I went through this door. will be absolutely back!

My first time at this restaurant. Fantastic meal! Delicious and fresh! I really like the atmosphere... not pretentious ... warm and comfortable ... and contemporary. Service was outstanding.

I had dinner on Saturday night and was pleasantly surprised to discover their happy hour menu, which offers an incredible deal. For just $20 per person, you can choose an appetizer and two rolls. We opted for the edamame, and I had the spicy tuna roll and the spicy California roll, both of which were delicious. The menu also includes a selection of drinks, including sake. The service was excellent, and I can't wait to go back!

This is our second time here, and everything we've tried has been fantastic! The quality is consistently excellent. We will definitely be coming back!

What really frustrated me was that the table next to us, which arrived after we did, placed an order for at least 48 pieces of sushi and had no issues at all with their order. It was clear they were regulars. When we needed something, we felt ignored. After asking for another roll, it was forgotten, and by the time it finally arrived at the table, I had already finished what I did receive. I was really upset by the lack of service and communication. Fifteen minutes later, they finally brought out another roll that had been forgotten. At that point, we decided to stop ordering and leave. Overall, I was extremely disappointed!
