Some of the best sushi ever! Their specialty rolls like the Red Wings Roll are amazing. Free miso soup and ginger salad included. Service is always good. Interior isn't anything special but definitely worth it for the food. read more

Sushi Zen was a wonderful place to check out for my husband and I for date night. We were able to get sat right away and the space was very cozy. I ordered the octopus salad and it was HUGE. Would highly recommend if you enjoy octopus. The two rolls that we split were large and very flavorful. I will say that the special rolls don't seem very authentically Japanese but I still really enjoyed the sauces and creative rolls. The service was quick and we got our food really fast. read more

Love this place!! Rolls and sashimi are SO FRESH!! White Serpent, Crazy Girl, and Osinko... Avocado Bomb!!! Service is always spot on - the servers really know their business. They have tables, sushi bar, and semi-private booths to choose between. I'm a regular and highly recommend giving Sushi Zen a try. read more

We came here with a large-ish group right before Christmas, and had a great experience! We made sure to make a reservation, and I'm glad we did because it was pretty busy in there. We were seated right away. We ordered so much sushi, and everything came out quickly and tasted amazing. It was fresh and flavorful! My favorites of the ones we ordered were the crab rangoon roll and the crazy girl roll. But honestly the menu is sooo huge that you really can't go wrong. I'd love to come back and try more items! read more

Have Been here twice. Both times have left with zero complaints. Portions are more than generous. Sushi was excellent as were the cocktails. The fried jalapeño appetizer was like 4lb of food, and all of it was delicious! read more

I am in love with their mango fiesta roll, and always try their drink of the month. I order carry out as well.

A friend and I were in the area and stopped in on a Sunday afternoon. They were relatively busy. We sat at the bar (to cheer on the Lions as they had small TVs over the sushi bar). Sushi Zen fits its name, relaxed environment while maintaining lovely decor. The service was fantastic. Our service Dov, was just the right level of friendly and engaging without ever being too much. He seemed to appear at exactly the right time. We order ginger salads, miso soup, and three rolls to split. The miso soup was a bit more flavorful than I've had at of restaurants, and we really liked it. The special California and the Alaska were the same as other good sushi places. My friend wanted to try the no name roll, which was baked, I didn't realize before ordering. I did not like it, but I am also not a fan of baked sushi, there was a sauce similar to a hot sauce on it I did not like. It was also too many flavors happening. The prices are the same as other similar quality sushi restaurants in the area. They do offer lunch specials, even on Sundays, that have a lunch price point . read more

Sushi Zen - Alaska roll, 30. No Name Roll, Special California Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Brighton, Michigan

Who knew. Right here in Brighton MI, a decent sushi place. Always wondered why they were busy. Sushi is fresh and presented well. Salad is a little over dressed and could be skipped. However here you go for the rolls. I ordered the simple Cali special roll and it was fresh, flavorful and presented nicely. Service has been very good and that's always appreciated! Keep it up, we'll be back! read more

Very cozy sushi place in Brighton. The TNT roll was tasty although it could use a little bit of spice. The dumplings were steamed perfectly and the salad was my favorite - so much flavor! Definitely recommend giving them a try. read more

Sushi Zen is phenomenal for creative tasty EXCELLENT sushi. Their top notch cuisine includes several cooked options for those that do not enjoy the raw selections. Sushi is one of the cleanest foods. It is amazing treat when the chefs make the quality of food OUTSTANDING. Their top notch skill and knowledge they possess to adapt to my complicated food restrictions set them above in the food industry. Gluten can be found in soy sauce, tempura, eel sauce and even in crab stick. Creating without the traditional staples of their key cuisine cannot be easy. Anticipate a line. It is worth the wait read more

Soup and salad came right away! Sushi itself was a bit of a wait and accidentally got 2 very similar rolls that we didn't end up liking. The mahi was on special for Thursday ladies night but it wasn't worth getting it was so bad flavor wise. Service was good that saved it a bit but overall wasn't wowed by this place. Small table made it feel cramped to be in there. I'd go again to try other rolls but might enjoy sitting at the sushi bar better next time. read more

I keep searching for a better sushi spot in the metro Detroit area, but time and time again, I find myself coming back to Sushi Zen. It still holds my number one spot for the overall best sushi. Honestly, I hate even writing this review because the wait can already be long, and it seems like more people are catching on--but it's no secret: their sushi is amazing. A true gem! read more

This place is hard to get into on a busy Saturday night. We tried to go on a Saturday at 5:30. The wait was over an hour. Went back a few days later at 4:00 and no wait. This place is delicious. I enjoyed everything I tried there. Had the bento chicken teriyaki. So good! read more

Busy. Make a reservation. I followed Chef Nobu here but he has now left a few years ago. Still good however, the chef surprise is up to the head chef, which since Nobu left, is typically a lot of cooked, fried rolls and apps. The chef surprise has always been a nice blend of raw, rolls and feature apps. Still very good but not my cuppa. Great place to appease the whole family. They are not just a sushi joint. They have a good size dining room with great waitstaff though they are usually busy. There are specials each night so look up the list and enjoy martini Monday or half off bottles of wine. They do takeout and catering platters too. read more

Excellent, every single time. I'm a sushi snob and this is one of my top places in metro Detroit for high quality sushi. It's always fresh, premium quality, and they have great cocktails to accompany the food. They also have real wasabi options to up charge for. The servers are veterans and provide excellent service. I recommend the cycle cabernet to accompany your meal. I also love the steamed broccoli and edamame as an appetizer. read more

Best sushi spot I know. Every single time the sushi is top notch. Tempura appetizers are fried to perfection and the avacado bomb is booming. read more

If you go here, your taste buds will have babies. This is the best place in Brighton, Michigan other than the taco place. As soon as you take the first bite of your sushi roll, your taste buds will start crying of joy and slobber will ruin your favorite shirt. Also, we need to bring back Susie she's a family friend of mine and she's the nicest person ever and I love her. Cheesecake gave me diarrhea. read more

Food is great. Service is great! It's a bit loud though. Love it. We meet there with from. It's a great halfway point.

Came for early dinner with friends and family. We had 8 people, thus made a reservation in advance - it was a good thing. We came on a Sunday, the place was super busy and unfortunately this made our overall experience bit disappointing. The service was slow, hard to get hold of our server to get refills on water and tea... the food all came out at different times.... Food: - The bulgogi was 5 out of 5, definitely would recommend this. - The rolls were decent but nothing to write home about. I'll give them credit for having so many roll options; however as far as the taste goes, it's just ok. - sashimi, I would rate it 4 out of 5, they were tasty and fresh. I went with a la carte sashimi order - fresh tuna, white tuna, yellowtail, scallops, sweet shrimp. Friend ordered a la carte as well, also added fatty tuna (mkt price)... it looked great, get it if you can. - Nama Wasabi - if you never had fresh wasabi, then order this and try it.; extra cost but worth it. Take some and add it to your sashimi, dip it in soy sauce and enjoy. Do not add the fresh wasabi to the soy sauce, use the standard wasabi they give you! Service - I saw 12+ folks working the floor, of which I noticed 5 of them were working the cashier area - not sure why, but they seemed to know their roles around there.... however they need to come up with a new play to serve the customers. They should have a runner for drinks, refilling the water, tea, etc., and a food runners. Maybe they do this already, but didn't see that during our visit. Overall, bulgogi was excellent, worth trying the fresh wasabi but importantly the conversations were the best. For now, three stars for overall experience. Hopefully, next time I visit, things will have improved. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by how fresh tasting the sashimi was. I'm very particular about where I go for raw fish. The HWE DUP BOB is a Korean dish and is similar to bibimbap, but with fish. It comes in a HUGE bowl with assorted chopped sashimi, on top of greens and is served with side spicy sauce and bowl of rice. It is enough for 2 to share. read more

Leroy: Never would have entered this establishment, had a loud hatred for sushi and anything related to rice. Katie: This is the best bento box I been had. It was very filling and flavorful. I liked the teriyaki sauce on the chicken, although I will say the chicken might have been a little dry. The California roll was fresh, the rice was delicious per usual and the veggies also delicious. I love the salad that comes at the beginning. And that's it! Caitlin: The service was quick and pleasant. My food was fresh, beautifully plated, and highly delicious. This is one of my favorite sushi places in Michigan. read more

Amazing food and service every time we come here! Would recommend the avocado bomb to everyone I know!

Really good sushi rolls here. I also liked the salad and how fast the service is. Would definitely come again!

Best sushi in metro Detroit hands down and I. Brighton too! It's always packed bc the food is that good.

I love Sushi Zen. The wait staff is great. Everything I've ever eaten there has been delicious. It's my favorite place to take my grandchildren who also love sushi. read more

Sushi was good but not good enough for the poor service. For starters people that were sat after us were putting in their orders before we did. When we were finally able to order I ordered a few rolls of sushi and my boyfriend ordered a beef bulgogi bowl. Sushi came out and we thought his beef bowl was going to come out shortly after. Our waitress, didn't catch her name but receipt says our server was Nola, came by to check on us after we took the first bite of sushi but wasn't to be seen again. 40 minutes go by and the sushi is almost gone still no bowl or sight of our waitress. When I was able to finally flag her down to ask about it she said she was going to go check on it. At this point we had been there for probably an hour and we were ready to go so we just canceled the order and took the check. When she dropped off the check she said "sorry I forgot to ask if you wanted it" What do you mean ask if we wanted it? We ordered it. Even if it wasn't finished at the restaurant we would have taken it home. Between the poor service and complete negligence we experienced I would not recommend this place read more
