We always have a good time here and excellent food. I sometimes wonder how they can keep the quality while there is never a lot of business going on. But I think we are just eating there mainly during off-times. Clean and pretty interior, no clutter, well-lit. The staff is always friendly and my kid gets the kid treatment with special cutlery etc. Love their hand rolls, bento box and noodle soups! The environment in the strip mall is a bit dreary though... read more

A hidden gem in San Leandro. We stopped by for late lunch. The restaurant was not busy and service was good. Interiors decor was very nice. We ordered the two lunch bento: teriyaki beef with California roll and chicken katsu with spicy tuna roll. The miso had good flavor. Food portions were larger than expected. The katsu was moist/tender and batter was crisp - not over fried. Katsu portion similar to what you get at L&L. Rolls were good and fresh. Tempura excellent. Plus: Good quality food at low price. Food portions were large. Cons: Katsu sauce a bit too salty. Minor. Note: restaurant places automatic 15% service charge to bill. Overall - We definitely will be back. read more

Zeng Sushi Delight - Two bento lunch: Chicken Katsu and Teriyaki Beef. - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Leandro, California

Zeng Sushi Delight is located off to the side in the San Leandro Plaza. This is a very busy plaza on weekends and weeknights, so parking is hit or miss - you just have to park further away either by the Safeway or McDonald's area and walk over. I feel like the only friendly employee / server here is the older gentleman, who I always see working. Since I have last been inside, they had done a lot of remodeling and it looks pretty aesthetically pleasing inside. I have not been here in ages, but I was craving sushi, as I was next door getting boba, so I decided to make a to go order here out of convenience. I ordered the California & Salmon Hand Rolls, Sake Maki, and Sake Nigiri, which was about $30 and I think it was worth it, as the sushi was actually better than I remembered it to be. To be honest, I did not have high hopes for their food because of my previous experiences, so I was rather surprised that my sushi tasted better than before - the salmon was fresh as well, so I felt like it was only fair to change my rating from 3 stars to 4 stars. read more

Revisited here after covid reopening and was pleasantly surprised! They redid the decor inside and it's pleasantly surprising! They have this new lunch combo menu that's a great combo of either two sushi related items or two non-sushi items, for a reasonable price. My husband and parents came here for Mothers Day and the total Bill was $75 total, not too bad. Actually had a more positive experience here than before covid! 10/10 would return read more

I can't emphasize enough that there are still lunch prices under $20 work Msicu generous portions! I usually dine around South Bay cause that where I live and work. It's really hard to find anything decent for less $20 for lunch nowadays post pandemic, especially Japanese cuisine. I've ordered their unagi don a few times. Each time, portions are very generous. Sometimes they cut the unagi into two pieces, sometime comes in one piece, perhaps depends on the chefs mood? I always pay extra for more broccoli because I like my veggies! I have to mentioned that they have have very good price for ramen. A Tonkatsu ramen bowl is only $13. It comes with a large piece of Tonkatsu on the side, which is nicely battered and deep fried perfectly each time I ordered them. But I didn't order them today. I've had not had their Bento boxes lately so I can't comment on that other than good price. I'm supposed that this place offers lunch menu items daily including weekend and holidays! I like how they changed the decorations inside. It very nice feel. As for service, I won't comment too much other than it's a one man kind of show for take out, dine in and taking takeout orders, plus answering the phone Service is not really what I concentrate on when I dine in an ordinary diner. But if l am dining at an upscale place, and I'm paying that kind of , I expect service to be at a certain level. I'm summary, I come here because of good food and their great prices. To me, it's a good deal for what I paid and what I get. read more

I don't know what I ordered but the total was over $100 for 2 people. The shrimp with sauce was really good. The roll we ordered was also good. The staff were very nice. I left my phone in the restaurant, drove around the block and came back and they opened the door and handed me the phone. I didn't have to go in and ask or find it. read more

This was a spread for 4 adults and we were very satisfied with our meal. I came here once before with a friend several years ago for lunch and liked it so I suggested it to my family. Experience: when we first were seated we were asked which beverages we wanted and were given time with the menu. The menu has a lot of pictures and I was worried that what we saw on the menu wasn't going to be what we got, but they are pretty accurate. The servers were nice and check up on us frequently which is good. The ambiance is relaxed with families as well as young and old couples. Food: Overall the quality of fish here taste pretty fresh and I love that they are not skimpy with the rolls. My parents really enjoyed the sauce that was paired with the Gorgeous roll. My personal favorite was the sexy salmon roll. This is spot is definitely on the pricey side, but the quality is good. Would definitely dine in again. read more

Very good service! The food was brought to us very quickly and was very tasty! Everything tasted fresh and the restaurant was clean.

One of my go to local Japanese restaurants. Mainly because of their Godzilla roll. I don't think I've had or seen Godzilla rolls at other Japanese restaurants and the one here is quite good. The sashimi pieces are thick. However, their rolls are on average smaller than many Japanese restaurant I've been to. The service is good. I also really like their decoration. read more

Delicious, fresh, great variety in the menu. The only thing that put a bad taste in my mouth was not the food but the automatic 15% service charge, then they tax that service charge along with your total, THEN they ask for a tip on top of it all. read more

Sushi was fresh, service was prompt lost me with automatic gratuity and then giving you a top recommendation was a bit too much

Delightful work-brunch spot. Felt safe eating inside. The staff was fast and courteous. The portions were large. The bento box was superb. Easy to find parking. read more

This place is a gem! First of all, the interior is super cute. Next, the menu is the best menu I've ever seen. I love how the menu has huge pictures cause I love to see pictures of my food before I order. The food is really good. The snow dragon roll is the most unique roll I've had in a while. The sauce has honey mustard, which sounds weird, but it's so delicious. My new favorite roll! I also got the Raider roll, gyoza, baked mussels, and lion king. The owner came by to say hi and asked if everything was okay and our waiter was very attentive. Good service and great food! Highly recommend! read more

Been here a few times. Though they've been consistent with customer service, there was nothing great about the selections I've tried before. Today I tried something new and it was super delish. It's tempura over crab roll. However size is small for $17. Soooooo good that I had to order one more to go for the kids! read more

First time here Parking is kinda hard to find because it's a shared parking lot with many other popular businesses When we walked in they are offering inside seating with social distancing. There was only 2 other parties inside The venue is clean,spacious and nicely decorated The menu is paperless We ordered gyoza as appetizers. My son ordered deep fried California roll and I ordered the Victoria secret roll Food was flavorful. Service was ok I found it ODD that we were not given any miso soup or offered any tea, that seemed a little off for me. That is like going to a Mexican restaurant and not getting any chips or salsa.... I can go on and on with examples but you get the point Pictures on Yelp and food descriptions are way better than the restaurants own menu Go to Yelp to help you navigate food options read more

Came for Mother's Day today! This was my first time dining indoors in over a year, and it was way better than expected. The staff was all wearing masks, QR codes were provided to pull up the menu on our phones, hand sanitizer was provided at the cashier, and social distancing was enforced. Wow, this place really got a facelift during lockdown! I am in love with the addition of the cherry blossom decor hanging from the "trees" in the restaurant, and the giant painting of Mt Fuji on the giant wall. It really looked like new life was breathed into this place, and the new decor really added to the great experience of dining here. I treated my parents. My dad got salmon ramen, which looked absolutely DELICIOUS and I was a bit jelly and wanted ramen of my own. Maybe next time! My mom got a lunch special of pork katsu and tempura. I got a sashimi platter of tuna, salmon, hamachi, and albacore sashimi with miso soup and a salad. For the 3 of us, with tip, came out to about $75. I'm glad to see that they still use the same cute teacups, and they kept giving me tea refills, which I so appreciated. So happy to see Zeng Sushi Delight back in business! I've been here many times pre-pandemic, and my parents love coming here and enjoy bringing their friends here, and we've had several family dinners here. Welcome back, Zeng Sushi Delight! read more

We've eaten here multiple times in the past few months and it's been excellent-- Very fresh, wonderful service and adorable decor. I especially love the tea cups.

This was after we ask them to cook the chicken more because it was still pink. when we got the food back it was STILL pink. we were a group of six people and we all each ordered. two of us did not receive our food because they closed the kitchen and all they said was sorry the kitchen is closed. so we were left there with no food and after I asked to speak with the manager then they made the food but at that point we weren't even hungry anymore. read more

I went there Saturday night for a date night with my husband. I saw the questionable reviews, but decided to say screw it since this is the only Japanese restaurant in San Leandro that also has cool ambiance, and we couldn't be bothered to go to Oakland. So that was Saturday... it is now Tuesday and my stomach has still not recovered from the cramping that I have had since we went. Something was not right with that fish. My husband didn't have sushi, so he is fine. I really hate it when people leave horrible reviews just based on the service , so I didn't lead with that, but never in my entire sushi eating career have I been given sake nigiri without wasabi. I can see leaving it off of a fancy roll with plenty of sauce, but nigiri?? Then, to make matters worse, we could not get ANY server's attention to bring me some. I got tired of waiting and started to eat it with just soy sauce and focus on the nice roll with other sauces. This is most definitely NOT what we paid for. The bill was like $80 for 2 people. Suffice to say we will not be returning. I am working from home while dealing with my stomach cramps and I actually paused on my work just to write this review. The pain is super annoying (albeit not the worst food poisoning I have had), and the fact that we also got poor service and paid a lot of money is salt in the wound. read more

Zeng Sushi Delight - Setting - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Leandro, California

Zeng Sushi Delight is a mainstay of Downtown San Leandro. They have withstood the test of time at this property that's undergone so many transformations. I'm happy to see that they're keeping afloat, pandemic and all. My family and I made a bulk order for pick-up today, and for old time's sake, I ordered a favorite: 49er Roll. Barbecue eel packs the center of these refreshing pieces, with fresh salmon and lemon slices atop. I also ordered a tekka maki, for one should always order tekka maki. There is no glorious picture here, except for the sushi I chopstuck onto a fresh plate at home. After several years of being away from the old stomping grounds, the 49er Roll was as good as I remembered. Tekka maki was a dainty appetizer, too. Way to go, Zeng! You've still got it. read more

12/2020 Wow, when did the prices go up?! I was shocked. I've included an updated menu with prices so don't get caught off-guarded like I was. I used to come here because the prices was reasonable and the food was good but not OMG fantastic. read more

Your average local sushi spot for a bento box or rolls! Sashimi isn't bad, had better quality but still ok! I've been a customer for a few years and appreciated the moderate pricing on their menu. Unfortunately they raised their prices lately which may force me to limit my order in the future. Last night we had oyster shooters, sashimi platter 1, 2 uni hand rolls, and 2 sushi rolls which came out to $132! Without looking at prices I was expecting something less than $100... which was the old menu read more

Came here for dinner after a long day. It was around 7 or 8 pm on a Saturday. They were pretty busy, took a min before they seat us. We went through the menu and menu looked pretty good! There were some things on there that I hardly see at any other sushi spot. The price was pretty decent kind of on the more pricey side. Took awhile before someone came and took our order but once we put our orders in the food came out pretty fast. We Ordered the Gyoza, Unagi Don, Sashimi Platter #2, Lion King roll, and a Pork Ramen in Black Garlic oil soup. The food was pretty good. The fish was pretty fresh for the sashimi platter, BUT the squid on the platter is very 'Rubber' like I couldnt eat it. It was the only thing that we didnt eat. Definetly will be back, since I work across the street from here. I'll try lunch time next. read more

Now that I live in San Leandro close to downtown e get to try all of what it has to offer. This sushi restaurant was so delicious and fresh we were both saying yum every single bite. It was our first time having hand rolls and what an amazing affordable way to try their fish. We will most definitely be back because we have mentioned eating here every day since. My only feedback would be to write the customers order down. I asked for a spicy salmon roll and I got a regular. It's actually one of my power peeves when waiters do this. Proud of the confidence but when you don't get the order right..... read more

Zeng Sushi Delight - Tempura hand roll, salmon hand roll, spicy tuna roll, and a mango roll. - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Leandro, California

Inexperienced waiters. We spent $300.00 for 3 people and never felt special. Nothing done to honor my son's birthday. No desert. Not a locally ran business. Not ran or owned by Japanese. Dried up scallops. No warmth from staff. read more

It's been a while since we've been here because I've found 2 other spots that we frequent but we were in the area and Boo was getting really hungry which is a recipe for disaster. Boo ordered shrimp/vegetable tempura which is not a favorite of mine anywhere because always seems to be heavily battered which is shown in the attached photo. He also ordered a Real Crab CA Roll which after I picked off rice was tasty. I ordered the Lion King Roll well done w/light rice and I was pleased they handled that request. Lion King was very good but the tempura to me is so heavily battered it's not enjoyable. Boo enjoyed his food but stated he would not order tempura anymore because of the batter, way too much read more

This is such a great sushi spot! I've been walking by for years and finally decided to stop by and try this place for lunch. We ordered a few different rolls, gyoza, and a bento box!! The rolls were really fresh, the fish was good quality, and the portions weren't small! For my bento box, I got Philadelphia rolls, which were delicious 10/10, and the beef teriyaki was ribeye!! YUMMMM. The teriyaki sauce seems homemade, really good. The miso soup was perfect as well as the tea. We came right before closing at lunch, we felt bad and left extra tip. But next time I visit, which will be soon, I will make sure to come earlier! The ambiance is really nice, not like a sushi shack. I can imagine this place gets packed for dinner read more

I absolutely love this place! I'm shocked (still) that I don't have a sushi sensei badge yet after my check ins here alone! This place is super affordable especially for the quality of the raw fish. I especially love the 49er roll, and the veggie tempura. The service is fast, although the staff aren't necessarily the friendliest, but definitely not rude by any means. I come solo and sit at the bar, I come with friends and get sushi wasted and I also order for pick up and get the same amazing sushi! Definitely recommend It and will continue to come here!! read more

I've been here twice now, both times for lunch (next to T4). Shared parking lot with Safeway, Sons of Liberty, Nations, CVS + more (if you're familiar with the area). Nice, spacious restaurant with a few flat screen TV's. So, on this visit I ordered Kalbi under their lunch menu. It came with rice, miso soup & a salad. Good amount of food for the price but my short ribs had a lot of fatty parts and a light charred & greasy taste. On my prior visit, I got the Fish Katsu and it was decent. I remember they gave me edamame & hot tea last time but this time they didn't. Oh well. Anyway, okay food & service. Haven't tried their sushi. Ehh, may or may not return. read more
