    Great hole in the wall place. Small with just a few tables; the sushi area took up about a third of the available space. Our hostesses were pleasant and helpful with suggestions and information on dishes we were unfamiliar with. My sushi was very fresh tasting and pleasing to the eye. Would recommend and patronize again.

    So far it looks nice, and it smells amazing. I think the girls had to warm up to me.One girl at the register is very nice the other isn't very sociable. I ordered shrimp, fried rice and you will get six shrimps. The rice is different from most Chinese restaurants. It appears to be a long grain jasmine rice. Mixed with egg and onion. it will come with carrots if you do not exclude them. The taste is fairly decent. I also ordered crab meat wonton. they are stuff pretty lightly, you will receive six for eight dollars. The taste is fairly decent. I will probably go back just to give them a second try.

    Surprise, good sushi is in this part of town. Seeing such good reviews, I knew my wife would be pleased going out for Sushi and I can tell you, she was very happy. I would like to make one point, the service here was AMAZING. Blah, blah, blah, you really want yo learn about the food: Beer - really a few beers you don't see anywhere else. Salad - my salad was awful, it was very small and had so much water that it made the ginger dressing watery. Yellowtail - FANTASTIC, fresh, wonderfully prepared. Salmon - prepared the same as the yellowtail, another great dish Tuna - not as fresh as the other fish, but it was fine. Alaska Roll - tight wrapping, wonderful flavor. Sushi rolls - my wife had three rolls and I did not write them down, but she loved it. Parking is easy and as I said, service could not have been better.

    Located in a strip mall with a Publix. Nice semiformal atmosphere. Very efficient and friendly server. The food was outstanding.

    I decided to try Sushi Zen at Duval Station on a whim. I was returning some packages around lunch and wanted to get a bite to eat. When I came in, I was greeted and seated. The waitress was very nice and attentive which is always a plus. The restaurant was a little slow for lunch hours, but I still decided to try. The menu is nice with normal sushi rolls I've seen at other restaurants, but they did have a few non traditional rolls that I thought were interesting like one that included sweet potato. In all the food was pretty good, and they have a nice lunch special if you're ever in the area.

    It's always a good start when there are so many appealing options on the menu that it's hard to choose what to order. Another plus is their availability on Uber eats. They packaged everything incredibly well and all of the fish was delicious. The sushi sandwich is a must have and the two rolls - banzai and black dragon- I got were great although personally I prefer the puffy tempura other the one they use for their shrimp. Nigiri were tasty as well and everything came with plenty of sauce on the side as requested, wrapped super well, and with tons of ginger and wasabi.

    Ordered from door dash and it came with hot soup and the order was very filling! I will be coming back here when I'm back in Florida next month what a great spot! The sushi was delicious and they gave me the right amount of wasabi on the side !

    This place brings back memories of Japan. Not only the sushi (which is what I get every time I visit this spot) but the service, the cleanliness, even the way the package your to-go order!(IYKYK). No other place in the northern FL area even compares or comes close to Sushi Zen . If you want good sushi, look no further... THIS IS IT!!!

Overall I'd say food quality was good, but not mind blowing.. but like I said, still pretty good. Portions are wild though... so you can skip the rest of your meals that day.

    This is a long overdue review. I have been coming to this location way before the new AYCE sushi…read morewent into action. When I first came in after the remodel I was skeptical, but day after day (hit after hit) Wasabi delivers. The food is AYCE and is made fresh to order. I'm a huge fan of nigiri so this is such a dea. Normally two pieces could easily be 5+ at another location. Don't like sushi? No worries! They have hibachi, tempur, soups, salad, dumplings. This is a great place to take people new to sushi who are discovering their preferences ( please consider the sweet potato sushi, it will be better than you anticipate). Please be warned, there is a price per sushi piece left behind. While I never seen the staff bring down the hammer, it is a clearly written rule. Also, if one person at the table orders AYCE then shares their food you will be charged for two AYCE (which makes sense). The interior is simple but the vibes are immaculate, super laid back and they often give small gifts during certain holidays. The AYCE is approx 16 dollars until 3, their dinner prices increase. Make sure to check their schedules times before heading over. (Try the salmon skin salad)

So let me get organized with each visit I had. First visit - I had the Rosé Pearl drink. I can't remember what's all in it but it was divine! My sisters had other drinks which were not as good as mine. One had something with ube and the other something with 75 on the name. Sorry it's been a few months so I can't recall exact names. Then we had yakitoris. All of them were delicious, even the zucchini ones (I'm not very big on veggies ). Also had a sushi roll shaped in heart. Again, don't remember the name but it was yummy! Adding the pic here. I had the yakisoba and it was surprisingly a good portion for a small plate. Second visit - my husband's birthday dinner, mid March. Brought all the kids and father in law. We had edimame, more yakitoris, chicken karaage, miso creamy udon, another sushi roll. It was during prime dinner rush so our server was less attentive but got all of our needs in reasonable time. Third visit-highlight is the server. We were a larger party of 9. She was patient with all of us and remembered everything! Humored our requests for pictures. Even reminded us that tip has been included due to our large party. This time I had the emperor's crunch. I should've read the description closer because I didn't expect it to be a pork roll. It was still so good that my friend ended up ordering one for herself (I ordered mine as one of my apps). Also had more yakitoris. Someone had ruffle fries which was heaven! Each visit was satisfying for me. It's so good to see a place so busy, yet still manages to put out delicious, quality food and pretty great service. Kudos!

    A Hidden Gem for Wok & Sushi Lovers…read more I stopped in on a whim and was genuinely impressed by how good this place is. The staff greeted me with warmth and made the entire experience feel welcoming and relaxed--like I was a regular from the start. The food? Absolutely solid. Fresh sushi, flavorful wok dishes, and everything came out hot, well-prepared, and at prices that make you do a double-take (in a good way). You can tell they care about quality without overcharging for it. Now, fair warning--the place has more surfboards than storage space, and some of that overflow has made its way into the dining area. But don't let that discourage you. The charm of this spot lies in its no-frills, laid-back vibe that matches the friendly, casual service perfectly. If I lived in the area, this would easily be a weekly go-to. Between the consistently good food, the down-to-earth ambiance, and the genuinely kind staff, it's the kind of place you can't help but root for. Highly recommend.

They were tasty and we had quite a few by the time our entrees: drunken noodles with scallops for Mommee and Thai Curry (red) with tofu for me. We ordered our preferred spice levels and when they arrived, we prayed and dived in! The drunken noodles with scallops impressed my mom, having spent time overseas while in the military, she gave it a thumbs up! I tasted one of the scallops and was pleased! Now, my Thai Curry with tofu was at spice level 6 and did NOT disappoint! The dish was fragrant, the pineapple chunks were sweet and the tofu just right! The coconut milk cooled my palate and really tied the dish together. My personal favorite in a curry is the addition of basil, but not today. The portions were healthy and most of our dishes went home with us. There's an all you can eat menu, of which we didn't order mostly because we were told by the waitress that she preferred the "table" pick from one menu or the other. I didn't like that since we're paying for whatever we ordered, but we complied.
