The food is ok not great. Customer service isn't as good as other place. I walked in by myself, and tried to ask if I can sit by the bar. I asked her if I can sit somewhere else (the bar), she said :"no, you sit here", then she walked me to the table which is fine to me. I don't know if it's because I'm by myself or not. Later on, there are a group of 3 people coming, and she asked if they want to sit by the bar or not. It's so unfair. I feel that when you come in with a lot of people, they will greet you better than just by yourself. She is so busy chatting with other group of people while I was waiting for the check. The check is not as other place, it just shows the total money not break down items (picture attached). This place doesn't have special deal for lunch on Saturday, Sunday and holiday.

Chicken Katsu Bento
Mike F.

This was my first visit to Zen16. Needed a quiet escape from the office. I was the only person here, hmmm. I ordered the chicken katsu bento box and it was truly cooked to perfection. The chicken was crispy and hot. The bento box could easily feed 2 people. Service was quick and the waitress polite and friendly. I can't figure out why no one is here. Price was reasonable for lunch. I'll definitely com back again.

Atmosphere was ok. Very empty. The menu selection was ok. Sushi was better than most grocery stores but leaves a little to desire. The prices are a tad high but not bad.

Zen16 is phenomenal!! Their spicy mayo is gluten free so many special rolls can be made Celiac safe! They are so careful about cross contamination and I have never had an issue. The rolls are delicious and the fish is very fresh. My favorite sushi place in Bel Air. Hands down!!!

Amazing tuna roll, Kimono roll.

My favorite sushi restaurant! Food is always fresh and perfectly prepared. Very clean and nicely decorated. They offer beer and wine as well.

GROSSS "Baltimore Roll"

So overpriced and highly confused about what each roll should consist of. A BALTIMORE ROLL is crabmeat and avocado. Get it right. On Uber Eats it doesn't offer a descriptor. I can't believe this was $10.00. You should be ashamed.

I chose a few rolls , I got California rolls , cucumber rolls and tamago nigiri. The California roll did not have enough cucumber in it, it was mostly crab and a little bit of avocado. It was like shredded crab in the California rolls and I prefer the chunks of crab. The tamago nigiri and cucumber roll was fine. Service was okay.

Ordered using Grubhub pickup. Tempura was crispy and not oily at all. The dipping sauce for it was on point. Chicken katsu was also crispy and like the tempura was cooked fresh to order. Not a fan of the spring rolls as the wrapper was a little too thick and probably could use a minute or two more in the fryer. Also ordered the pad Thai which had large chunks of chicken breast. The entreé was ok though looked like it was missing flavors of garlic and scrambled eggs. It came with a small container of crushed peanuts and half a lime. Everythjng was packaged very neatly and came with the dipping sauces in ramekins and utensils including chopsticks. I'd definitely return for the tempura and katsu but pass on the noodle dish.

Customer service is really bad, There was a miscommunication about my order, and the lady didn't even apologize, second time I went there and the same customer service.

May 2025 The food…read morewas great, but service missed the mark. Despite a listed closing time of 10PM, we were hurried out by 9:30PM... Awkward, considering we were just wrapping up. Even at 8:45PM, the hostess already seemed irritated by our arrival. Either update the restaurant hours or work on patience. That said, the house special fried rice remains undefeated, so I'll let this slide... this time.

They have booth seating (even larger ones that for parties of 6) and some table/chair seats. Very nice decor. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted and seated immediately. Our server was terrific throughout our entire visit. He was very attentive and friendly. A very welcoming restaurant. Once seated you will be served some very tasty fried noodles and duck sauce. Just beware as you will clear the bowl quickly. We ordered the wonton soup (delicious), crab Rangoon (recommend), and the egg rolls (get these - so tasty). An order of General Tso chicken with white rice was the main meal and it was massive! It was also very tasty. There was hardly any wait time for your food. The portions are immense and the prices are beyond reasonable! This combination along with all of the food being absolutely fantastic is a win. You can tell that they have put great thought and intention into their craft. If you are local, don't sleep on this place. If you aren't local, worth the drive!

I wish I was able to get pictures of my food but everything smelt heavenly. Our waiter was so kind,…read moretruly patient. There were times I want to tell him he was doing such a good job since my party was big and that's a lot of different people, paces and energy to manage. Nonetheless everything came out timely. The appetizers, the food, and we took desert to go. We ordered a plethora of food, from Bang Bang Shrimp to Alaskan Rolls and hibachi to noodles. We had it all and I can't wait to go back.

We're not too hungry but hungry enough for some app and a roll. We're decided on crab Rangoon, calamari, tuna tataki and titanic roll. Everything was great, we finished it all. Love the tuna, presented beautifully on a lettuce sprinkled with green onions and black sesame. The calamari, while it's not the breaded crispy, its crispy and stir fried with red green pepper and red onions. Loved this too. Crab Rangoon, it's good but not a fan of the dipping sauce that came with it. It's overly sweet and thick in the consistency... this one could definitely be improved. We ended up eating it with the sauce that came with the calamari. Now onto the titanic, nothing but good thing. Fresh and love give it has a black caviar on top. Last but not least, we had to finish with mango sticky rice. The rice came out so warm which was a very nice touch. Ate every bits of it. Service was great attentive and dining area is clean and pretty. There's a seating area on the side where you basically sit in the floor. Would love to come back and experience that another time.

I came here with my family to meet up with my friend and her little family. We were the first ones…read morein the restaurant when it opened at noon and were promptly sat down. The restaurant was soooo cold so I'm not sure if they just purposely dont turn on the heat since the hot pot/korean bbq will be sure to keep you toasty. For the table we got the hot pot and the korean bbq options. For Korean bbq we got the beef bulgogi, galbi, garlic shrimp, squid and onions. They brought a decent amount of all of them to the table. For hot pot we ordered two broths per family. I got the pork bone broth that was very light in flavor. For hot pot items you have to walk up and gather your own meats, veggies, noodles etc. On the other side there a small sauce/seasoning bar, dessert bar and an ice cream area. Other all the korean bbq meats were pretty good! The garlic shrimp had the best seasoning. The cut of the galibi was a bit fatty but still pretty good. They were really good at changing the grill ever so often. The hot pot items were great additions to the broth. The staff was also nice. Overall a good spot to meet up with some friends. The price point I thought was expensive (2 people for both hotpot/korean bbq on a Saturday was $100+ with tip) but it was still fun and we left with very full tummys.

Great selection of food for hot pot. The staff will help you with recommendations. Quick service!…read moreIt's about $80 (dinner price) for two people for hotpot unless you get drinks which will cost more. We went early on Saturday and was able to be seated right away. It didn't get busy until we left. Definitely a great place to have dinner at!
