I had lunch at Zen Sushi today and was pleasantly surprised. First, I know that I love sushi and…read morepretty much all other Asian cuisines. I know this about myself. And then I get sad when I eat pasta, chicken and fries and sandwiches for 3 days straight.... I just can't. So I was in desperate need of some medium grain rice when I headed into this place. I knew from the name that there was some Korean food options being served here. They have a bunch of Korean fried chicken options, but there are also Japanese foods like katsu on the menu that don't involve raw fish. I got the nigiri lunch special. For $21 in the heart of downtown Kelowna, I thought it was a fair price. The lunch special comes with 4 pieces of nigiri, a shrimp tempura/California roll, a few pieces of tempura, deep fried spring rolls, miso soup and a small salad. The salad dressing was good, but the leaves were a little old. Other than that, everything else was great. The tempura was so crispy and the roll was pretty good. The fish quality probably could have been better, but honestly this is middle America and I've had a lot worse. The service was sooooo nice. Everyone I've met in restaurants in Kelowna have been so nice and this was no exception. I loved that my water had a little slice of lemon in it and that they checked on me without being irritating. The food came out fast and I easily paid when I was ready to go. The inside has quite a few tables and nice heavy chairs that remind me of old, fancy Chinese restaurants. They even have an outside eating area. There are some other sushi spots along Bernard street, but this one was the closest to the waterfront. I enjoyed my experience here and would come back if I had the opportunity.

Highly recommend their mango dragon and ogopogo which I think are the most popular here anyway. All the rolls were great. Good rice to filling ratio and lots of fresh flavours. We also got the snow onion fried chicken. Very very nicely fried chicken. Love the crispy and thin batter. The chicken is still juicy too! Service here is also fantastic. Really friendly and always checking in on you to make sure everything's great, without interrupting your meal. Just a great place to go with friends wether for a nice catch up or a quick meal. Be back soon!!

We decided to go for lunch somewhere and on Yelp, I found Kojo is nearby. We decided to come here for lunch. This place operates like cafe style or like food court style. You have to walk up to pay and you have to serve yourself for water. The food was super delicious. This place is pricy. However, I do like the food presentation. We ordered a spicy tuna to share, unagi aburi and a salmon aburi. Food was delicious. Everything made just like the way we normally get or tasted like from what you get at the sushi restaurant from Vancouver. This place is ran by authentic Japanese people. Inside is super small and seats are very limited. Overall, good food.

Absolutely adore this ramen place! I typically opt for…read morevegan/vegetarian broths, and honestly... I was blown away by both of their options. Their vegetarian broth is so yummy, and so full of flavour, I absolutely could not get enough. Their vegan ramen has marinated tofu chunks, and they're so delicious-- they complement the broth and the noodles very well. I did try some of their non-veg ramen, and they were also just as good. So far I have tried the following ramen: Beef chili lime ramen-- you wouldn't really think it, but tomato went really well with this bowl of ramen. I don't know what it was, but it added a spritz of acidity and freshness and I really appreciated that. Tantan-men-- Personally, I don't eat pork, but I really wanted to try this bowl of ramen. When I dropped by Wasabi for the very first time, this was the ramen I tried, and I remember asking the waitress if I could modify it and I remember her saying that she was more than happy to. Unfortunately, I can't remember what the sub was, but I do remember that I was very much satisfied. Vegetarian ramen-- creamy, hearty, yummy! It was not bland at ALL! I am so utterly impressed with this place, because even ramen eateries in Downtown Vancouver seem to not be able to grasp how to make delicious and flavourful veggie ramen! 10/10 Vegan ramen-- this is my usual order tbh, because it comes with marinated tofu bits, and they are to die for. It's such a simple little thing, but to me it completely elevates the dish and makes it that much more yummy. Ebi wonton-- OKAY so this one... also amazing! I wish it had more dumplings, but that's just because I am a unfillable void, I guess. Spicy Yuzu-- great for cold, wintry days. This is my go-to during cold Kelowna winters, and during Term 1 final weeks because I can feel my immune system slowly tanking and I must clear my sinuses ASAP. Overall, I adore this place (if you couldn't tell already). I'm seeing a lot of people complain about the service here, but I have never had a problem. The servers are always so kind and accommodating, I don't see that being an issue at all. I do see, however, a lot of entitled rich families come to this place, thinking they can order people around and expect everyone to say yes to their every whim-- sorry but that's not how it works! Just treat people how you want to be treated, and be considerate! This place gets busy, and the servers are working hard.

If you come here you should get their karaage chicken ramen or the death by chicken karaage. The…read moredeath by chicken karaage has a nice flavor kick to it. It is not spicy at all. The chicken was nice and crispy. The noodle was tasty. Do not order the Ebi Wonton ramen. I went back the second time and got that and I was disappointed. It reminded me of Chinese Wonton soup. Note that their chicken and pork chashu is not made using the authentic way. They do not use pork belly for the chashu. It is not the one you typically get at ramen from bigger cities or Japan. The chicken is basically regular seasoned chicken breast and the chashu is basically pork shoulder. The one I am used to is where they take the pork belly, season it and then roll it up. It is not the case here. The noodle was tasty but not wow and you can tell that it was freshly made in house. Broth was ok. But hey this is the only ramen place in Kelowna (2023) at the moment. Inside is ran by Japanese people. Chicken Karaage ramen 3.5 stars Ebi Wonton Ramen 1.5 stars Death by Chicken Karaage 4 stars. I am giving this place 4 stars because it is located in Kelowna. If this restaurant was located down in the coast (Vancouver) or any big city than I would give it 2 stars. Also I do find that the quality of food was not very consistent. I went back the second time and it was not as good as the first time. Service was ok. Note that Parking is free after 6 pm.
