New Zen Japanese Restaurant

Came here for a sushi making class and left wanting to make this my new sushi spot. The environment was so warm and friendly. I enjoyed the detailed explanations on each step of the process. Everything was quite fresh. The amount we made was more than satisfying. I would recommend the class to anyone interested in learning the art of yummy sushi making. I look forward to returning for lunch or dinner in the near future.

It’s a perfect place to have lunch meeting to talk about the upcoming trip to Japan. Chef Yumiko is so delightful and food is authentic

Absolutely incredible!!! The owner is very friendly. She makes the rolls and were all so delicious! The sushi rice I could literally have a bowl of just this. The tea was delicious. Staff is very attentive! I had vegetable roll, the California roll and a hand roll of some kind that was perfect! Cannot wait to try more of the menu! Will definitely be back!

This quaint restaurant has superb sushi, grill, and noodle dishes, served by a very friendly staff. Service can be a little slow because the business is only run by two people but it is worth the wait.

I always get the best quality sushi here! And it's affordable! Their cuts are generous and fresh. I adore their agedashi tofu. Yutaka (sp?) is wonderful, and I always feel welcomed and like family. What a gem! I'll come back again and again. 🍣

Delicious and authentic food, lovingly prepared. Learned from the proprietor that New Zen has been around for 28 years! The experience is tangible in every bite. Don’t miss this gem of a spot!

My wife and I came in on a Saturday at 3:30pm. Our experience was not so great. We were the only ones in the restaurant. Service was extremely slow, our food took 25 mins.. food was ok, the restaurant has a weird odor inside almost smelt like musty.

This is a Japanese restaurant with Japanese proprietors who are also the staff. I do not reject Japanese food prepared by persons who are not Japanese, but I usually enjoy it more when it is prepared by Japanese persons. I ordered only two things: the "oyster fry" and negi hama. Each was wonderful. The oysters have panko crust and are served on a bed of finely shredded cabbage with a dark thick sauce that I feared would be sweet but was not. The cabbage was delicious taken in the same bite as half an oyster. Few Japanese restaurants I have been to offer oysters. They told me their preparation was "very Japanese." The negi hama was fresh and tasty. Now two visits. I have only seen spinach gomae on two restaurant menus ever. This version is slightly sweet, very good, with mostly whole roasted sesame seeds. The small house salad is tasty and a notable value. My friend liked the oyster fry so much that he ordered a second one promptly after he finished the first one. Not cheap, not expensive. Prices commensurate with service, ambience, quality. Parking easy.
