Super super super friendly service from George and Julie that we received on Tuesday at 4:15pm. The two servers working were so kind and accommodating. My first time at this restaurant and I felt inclined to write the interview in the middle of eating because it was everything was so good!! Their sushi quality is the best and everything tasted so yummy. The ambiance of the place is so clean and modern with nice music playing in the background. Highly recommend coming here for AYCE sushi for $34.99. There's a small parking lot that's shared with a couple businesses. read more

Service was poor, food was ok, just average for an AYCE. Inside was hot, they had no air, and not even fans to circulate the air. It was not a good experience, even the water came with no ice, and I had to ask numerous times for iced water, and cups of ice, and refills. Not worth going to, unless you can stand the heat while eating AYCE sushi, it's just a recipe for disaster. read more

I came here in a weeknight for a quiet dinner while traveling for work. The place was busy but I was seated promptly. It was a pretty full night but the restaurant wasn't too loud, which was surprising. Service was pretty quick and my server George was really nice. Food came out promptly, which was surprising, but even more surprising, was the quality. I usually have lowered expectations with AYCE places but was pleased with the quality for the value. I highly recommend the spicy tuna crispy rice. I could eat that every day! I almost always order salmon nigiri when I have sushi and this place was no exception. The salmon was decent! I will definitely eat here again and it's a great dinner spot even if you're only entertaining yourself. Hopefully next time I can bring a companion! read more

Food: 4.2 Service: 5.0 Stopped by this place for the 34.99 AYCE lunch. The fish tasted very fresh and tasty. I got about 5 variations of sushi, along with an albacore crispy onion roll, udon soup, a spicy tuna salad and a spicy albacore crispy rice appetizer. Most of the fish was very yummy and you could tell it was high quality. The only thing that I thought was just okay was the spicy tuna made here, as well as the fresh water eel. The eel had too marinated of a flavor and was missing eel sauce and was a bit dry, The spicy tuna too, I thought, needed some work. While it felt fresh, it didn't pass my taste test. All in all, this place is good and I would possibly come back. The design here is modern, with a bunch of booths and the sushi bar for dining in. The service was outstanding. My waiter Housain went above and beyond to make all tables happy. He was intuitive, attentive and friendly. A very good experience overall. read more

Zeppin Sushi - Japanese Near Me - Encino, California

I came here to try their AYCE option (the regular $34.99) they have a solid specialty roll selection without being repetitive like other AYCE sushi spots. I'm not sure if it's the rice or sauce they use for the nigiri but it has a good/unique taste that enhanced even more when you did it in soy sauce that's I've never experienced with any other sushi I've had. Overall we had good service, inside they have a bar area, two dining sides and a few TVs. They have a shared parking lot which is a rare plus for a restaurant on Ventura Blvd. read more

We absolutely love the food here I just really wish the service was better... like it's really not good. Just continue to come for the food!

100% 5 star experience. I really can't think of one experience that we had during our dinner, that would cause Zeppin to get anything less than 5 stars from me! First, the prices for delicious, premium sushi just really can't be beat here. It's affordable for all you can eat (let's face it, sushi isn't cheap!), and what you get is QUALITY. Among my favorites were the baked mussels, tuna crispy rice, and the baked tilapia sushi roll (I do love cream cheese in sushi - I know, sometimes an unpopular opinion!). Also, the ice cream was delicious at the end too! So many flavors to choose from! The service was superb. Food came out quickly, and not tooooo fast that you're like,"Waittt...is this fresh?" Nope just with enough time to get settled in and to get my belly prepared for the appetizer - a few rolls and miso soup. All the servers were friendly, especially Jordan (superrrr sweet, helpful and kind!), and all the servers were hospitable, friendly, and also provided us with other food recs in the area to check out. Awesome! The ambiance was great! There was a large tv where some folks were watching sports, lighting was perfect (especially for pics!), families, couples, sushi bar seating area for when it's busy - just wonderful. And parking wasn't an issue either! Let's be real. When parking isn't a problem, no problem or complaints here! Definitely will be back to try out more delicious items on the list. Everything came out wonderful. Thanks for a delicious dinner!! read more

Zero Stars. This review is based upon my own personal experience! This is a horrible sushi bar which is under very poor management. The fish was not fresh. They douse the nigiri sushi in sauces to hide the poor quality of the fish. Dine here at your own risk. If you complain about the issues, they will tell you that you should never come back to the sushi bar which is fine. They will also complain to Yelp if you write a negative review. This is my honest and accurate review of Zeppin Sushi. Richard R. read more

Went here last month on a Sunday for lunch, me and my teen boys did the premium AYCE sushi as we prefer to order mainly nigiri, oysters and Uni. Pricing for regular menu is not that bad so if you're just going to get sushi rolls, you can just do regular menu. We ordered all the premium - you can get extra serving for additional price. The service was fast and efficient. We came early that it wasn't busy but by the time we left there were more customers that came in. This is my go-to in the area if I want some AYCE sushi. They have tv screens so you can also watch the games if you're into sports. Pretty casual and easy going place for a quick lunch or dinner. They also have a selection of alcoholic drinks if you decide to come for late dinner and drinks. read more

Came here for date night with the hubs on a Friday night. It was pretty busy, but we got sat right away. I must say the service was amazing. The staff was so attentive and all of our food and drinks came out quickly. We went for the regular AYCE and it was $36 a person. They do have a premium AYCE that costs a little more and includes things like oysters, uni etc. To start, we ordered their shishito peppers and they were delicious. I loved the sauce! We ordered a couple rolls and a ton of nigiri as well. The albacore, octopus and yellowtail were my favorite. Loved the presentation of all of the food we ordered. Also added a beer and hot sake to complete the meal! The AYCE also comes with ice cream for dessert. They had flavors like Thai tea, black sesame and matcha. The Thai flavor tea was amazing! I originally discovered Zeppin by way of a Yelp Elite Event and wanted to come back with my husband because I enjoyed the sushi so much. I definitely look forward to coming back, as this might be my new go-to local spot for AYCE! If you follow them on social, they have lots of specials all the time, including happy hour. read more

I believe it's 35$ per person for the basic all you can eat lunch. Comfy atmosphere and plenty of parking. Many options from appetizers to sushi to rolls. My favorite was their yellowtail sushi, so fresh, and the Zeppin roll absolutely delicious with the salmon, eel and spicy tuna combo. Service was quick and fast and you even can take a mini ice cream that's included to go. The coffee icecream and Thai tea icecream were so good ! read more

Wanted to try something new after the batting cages and mini golf with my kids and ended trying this new spot. I've got to say I think this spot is a hidden gem. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is really nice. The food I would say similar but different than other AYCE. The classic sushi doesn't use too much rice and the fish overall taste really fresh. I've got to say a pretty good place to try. I would have posted some pictures but the food was gone too fast. The best part my kids loved the individually served ice cream cups. Overall a must try and another winning spot in my opinion read more

You can order the AYCE here but do you want to eat all of it? If you're looking for quantity, this is it but I can't stomach fishy sushi. There is a two hour limit and the food comes out fast but the actual sushi is average at best. The gyozas, edamame, tempura and the appetizers were okay. The rolls are probably the way to go if you're eating here. Sushi sounds simple but it really comes down to the quality of the fish and how the rice is made and tastes. The sushi at any Japanese super market or even Ralph's was probably better than what you're going to get here. Three stars is generous for their sushi. The service is fine though and I do love dessert. You can't go wrong with the variety of ice cream and how they are served in individual containers but you're not coming here for that right? read more

Parking is easy with them having a dedicated shared parking lot. Was greeted as soon as my party walked in the door. I was offered two options for the AYCE sushi option: a regular for $34.99 and premium for $47.99. I went with the regular and must say I was impressed. The fish quality was good especially for an AYCE and they didn't "over rice" the Nigiri or rolls. Service was great. Only two gripes; no modifications or changes what so ever to the rolls and they use a sauce on their nigiri that has a fermented taste that becomes overbearing. read more

I have been craving coming here since the Yelp Elite event over a month ago. Mom and I finally found the time and hunger. Abby and Vico took care of us. They were absolutely wonderful. They explained the difference between the regular AYCE and premium AYCE menus. We went for the premium and it did not disappoint. The must orders: The baked muscles. They are cooked to perfection and not overly filled with eel sauce or may. All of the carpaccio dishes are incredible, especially the garlic tuna and spicy albacore. (It's also why you should go premium) The nigiri rolls are also fantastic. I also love the triple lotus and spicy tuna salad. They're great for in between the fishier dishes. The day we came, the chef was new and accidentally mixed up some of our dishes, though. We ended up with the seaweed salad and Ultimate Salmon Roll. They were just okay. The inside is clean and comfortable. The music was a little loud when we were there. An excellent ending is the delicious ice cream. I can't believe I sill had room after all we ate. read more

The AYCE sushi and rolls is $34.99. The sushi portions are half the size of the a la carte. It's still a good deal. The service is slower and they do not have some of the items from the menu (ie salmon collar). The happy hour drinks at $5/sake is also a good deal. The soft shell crab (one per person) is part of the AYCE menu for the first round. Subsequent orders are at $0.99 and not free as part of the AYCE menu. The seaweed salad was slimy and not crunchy. Would not recommend both the seaweed salad and yakisoba. read more

Yay to bringing back their old menu and more. Came here for an event last week and enjoyed everything we ordered. We came back again today for their late happy hour menu. I seriously can't believe the prices and quality of the food. People say you get what you pay for. Well, that's not the case here. Prices are wonderful for the amount, quality of the food. From the appetizers to rolls to sushi to even sashimi. This was by far one of my favorite sushi restaurant until covid hit and they changed their menu. I'm so HAPPY with all the new changes/bringing back old items they took out. This place will definitely be our go to sushi spot when we crave sushi. read more

Sushi is always fresh here and price is pretty good at $35 for regular all you can eat. You also get complementary ice cream! The kitchen is a bit of a mess though as they were putting out orders and the waiters had no idea which tables they were going to. Service was also slow... The servers themselves are great, but it seemed like they were understaffed for a busy Friday night. Improvements needed: There was a long line at the front to get a table, and there was no hostess to get parties in the queue. Staff come and go at the front but they ignore you or prioritize to-go orders. The dirty white stools they seat you on also need to be cleaned as they were all scuffed with black marks. All in all, the food is good here but be ready to wait and have patience! read more

Lots of yummy food that my date and I took home left overs. Service was fast and enjoyable.

Limited menu $34.99 Full menu $45.99 I chose the full menu. Pros: 1) food came rather fast. 2) quite a lot options. 3) even if you eat like a bird, you can get your money's worth back. So beats ordering take out. Cons: 1) food quality is truly Not good. The crab sushi, I literally had to spit it out, and dump them in my purse. lol. Because I didn't feel Safe to swallow it. This is my only Con about this place. Honestly. But it's enough reason for me to Not return or ever order from this place. read more

We came back tonight for the all you can eat dinner premium menu and it was so good as usual!! We tried each of the crispy rice and some sashimi. We also got garlic edamame and seaweed salad as appetizers. Then we tried a bunch of rolls: 911, albacore crispy onion, white roll, crawfish baked roll and crunch roll: all were super good and fresh. The entire staff was super attentive and friendly. We love zeppin!!! read more
