We have been coming here since Zen's opened. We have enjoyed sushi for decades, eaten all over the country and gone to every highly rated sushi place in our area where most serve American style rolls smothered in an overabundance of toppings to appeal to the American penchant for the theatrical that believes more is more. But there is no better, fresher or sweeter salmon or more perfect rice than we have found at Zen's. When fish can shine on its own, you have found something worth going back to again and again. Great service, kind and friendly family who know their customers well. If you like quality and simple authenticity, look no further.

My daughter and I had lunch here a little while back. Let me start by saying the staff are amazingly friendly. I felt like someone was personally making sushi for me. We had the crispy shrimp roll, spicy salmon roll, and the crispy crab inari. This is honestly some of the best sushi I've had in the area. My favorite by far was the inari, and this is from someone who normally doesn't eat tofu. It is a must try. The price point is good, and again, the service is excellent. I will definitely be back.

This is a new sushi place in a former Subway sandwich shop. They make the sushi fresh while you wait. Rolls come with ten pieces, so it only takes couple to fill you up. They stick to the most "common" types of rolls. I'm sure this helps in keeping costs down. We had a tempura shrimp roll and a Philly roll. Both were well made.

The best sushi and the best owner!!! I go here everytime for sushi!!!always a clean and happy environment

This is a welcome option for sushi in the Tri-Cities area. Since our beloved nearby place closed we have been trying all the sushi restaurants but not finding a favorite. We were happy to order from this new business run by a local family. They were friendly on the phone and in person. They answered right away and the order was made quickly. They told us how they make everything fresh everyday and stressed the importance of that, which we appreciate! The rolls definitely hit the spot! We will definitely be back to try more!

Great! Service was nice, food was made fresh. Tasted great and fresh. Room to sit in and eat, had good music.

This place is AMAZING. I was in Geneva and looking for some restaurants and came across a Tiktok of the owners nephew recommending it and the nigiri looked so good we had to make a stop. The owner was so nice and recommended bubble tea which wasn't in the menu. We got mango and I love any boba that bursts in your mouth 10/10 chugged it. The salmon was amazing too so fresh so great. Love this quick concept utilizing an old subway location and it makes sense. You need to grab this place even if it's just a quick to go order. I honestly ate this all on my ride home.

Great sushi! Awesome owners! The ingredients were very fresh. The prices were really good.

The sushi was okay. Nothing special, not bad but nothing to drive me back. The salmon was inconsistent, some pieces were way better than others. For a quick bit at lunch it would work, but I wouldn't go out of my way. read more

Got some sushi from this place in Geneva that makes it real fast. It may not be the ideal way to make sushi but it's not for those wanting authentic quality. Zen's Sushi Express has a name that sounds like trouble. Maybe like one will be meditating on the toilet after eating it. This wasn't as bad as expected, and there were no guttural problems. Choosing this as a place to get sushi is some kind of an idea. It's understandable because it's much better prices. There's people wanting to try sushi but they won't want to go to those fancy places and get some exquisite stuff. Actually there's much better places than here and it's about the same prices. There's places that have pretty cheap lunch specials. Anyway, it's pretty much beginner level sushi here. It's about $7 for the fruit tea. Has many to choose from including kiwi. It's about $6 for the Avocado Roll. This is a basic one with rice and seaweed. Has sushi for those on a budget, and for those in a hurry. It's closed Mondays. The quality actually is better than expected, and there's plenty of choices for vegans and vegetarians. read more

Have ordered from here several times now and they're consistently great! The employees (think they're the owners, actually) are SO nice. I've had rolls and poke bowels and everything is fresh and tasty. Importantly, I think the rice is the right consistency. Have had sushi from other area places that just didn't seem "right" to me. Very easy to order online and the pickups are right as scheduled. Prices are totally fair as well. My local go-to! read more

Good thing I walked in when I did as they had just handed my take out to another guest...he was lingering around and when I gave my name the lady called the guy back to the counter and he clearly had my order. Just ordered spicy California roll and spicy tuna roll. Both very good. Serving size was large and got me through 2 meals. I'll definitely order here again.

I think I overlooked the Chicago crazy and missed that there wasn't any sauce in the ingredients so that was the most plain one which is fine for people that prefer sushi without any type of sauces. I am not that type of person so I definitely like the other two a lot. It's always great to know of a good sushi spot to go to in the neighborhood and I would definitely come back here.

In fact, they apparently have balloon animals (swords) for the kids, which is fun. And they served the food with some dry ice "foggers" which, I don't care who you are, dry ice is always a hit. I'd be willing to give Swordfish another try if we find ourselves in the area and have a sushi craving.

Shinto Japanese Steakhouse & Sushi Lounge

I came here for a friend's birthday and had a really good experience overall. We had a reservation…read morefor a party of nine, but still waited about 15-20 minutes to be seated. Our server, Katie, was amazing. She was attentive, funny, and gave great recommendations on both food and drinks. The menu has a wide variety of options, so her guidance definitely helped. We ordered hibachi, which was delicious and a fun experience. The chef put on a great show and even gave us cues for slow motion videos, which made it extra memorable. A few people in our group ordered sushi and said it was really good as well. I had the shrimp dinner and added calamari on the side. The shrimp portion was generous, and everything tasted great. My only complaint is the noodles. They were very thin, similar to Pad Thai noodles, and I personally prefer thicker hibachi noodles. The soup was one of the best I've tasted. The ambiance was cute and spacious, with a cool fish tank and the drinks were a highlight. I had a coconut sake drink that was so good I'd honestly go back just for that. Overall, great food, fun atmosphere, and excellent service. I would definitely return.

It was a good dinner. the place was nicely Decorated and we…read morewere seated on the stage like flooring. I don't know what to call it.

I have had them for take out a few times. I will be back again!

the freshest bagels and most delicious coffee! hoping they open more locations soon!!read more

I'm so grateful to fellow Yelp friends for pointing out this cozy bagel shop. I should have asked…read morewhere the name came from because I only saw good guys here. They have several flavors of gluten free bagels, squeal! The service is so welcoming and considerate about allergies. We shared a Bee Sting breakfast sandwich because this is how it is described on the menu "One of our most popular sandwiches! Egg, Cheddar Cheese, Crispy Bacon, Scallion Schmear, and Heaven's Hot Honey. You can't beat this combo!" Omg it was scrumptious! You can pre-order and drive thru to pick up or park in the adjacent lot and walk in. You can customize everything so check out their website ordering menu ahead of time. The coffee was really tasty too. There was a constant flow of patrons early on a Sunday morning. There are only two tables inside so we took our order to go. I'm already dreaming of what I'll try next and who I will bring with to enjoy these really delicious bagels in Geneva.
