zen asian fusion

amazing sushi. i can't really explain how good this sushi is... innovative, with so many flavors and textures that compliment each other perfectly. in a way i wish i hadn't found this on vacation because our local places are going to be a disappointment now! we will be back every time we visit charleston

excellent fusion!. we stopped in here for dinner one night and it was first, very well decorated and i am dying to do a party and get one of the private rooms. second, i am not a sushi person, let alone sashimi, but the description of one of the tuna/crab/avocado rolls in a spicy mango sauce i knew i had to try it, and was glad i did..it was also a large portion, too much for me, but i couldn't stop because it tasted so good. the gyoza are delicious, as well as the spring/egg rolls. i had an opportunity to stand at the sushi bar and watch the chefs at work and they truly turned out some art! all this and a decent price as well.

excellent establishment! upon a previous review, we revisited and were met by cindy in which she told us our review was taken very seriously and the problem has been rectified. it's wonderful to know that a restaurant takes feedback with such consideration and to also be observant enough to follow up with us a month later. not even knowing who we really are, but recognizing our faces within a large group of 25! very impressive. thanks cindy! and once again... wonderful sushi!

best sushi rolls in town! we are regulars and have never had a specialty roll we did not like. came in with a large party( 25)on a weds night and were put in the private party room. service was mediocre but the food did not disappoint. the female bartender was less than professional and extremely rude to our party. she messed up a few checks and mine twice, even after i discussed the mistakes with her and without letting me approve the corrections, ran my card when the bill was still wrong. she told me i could go to the person who's drinks were on my bill and get cash from them or it would take a couple days for my card to be refunded. she was complaining to another customer at the end of the bar about our party and having too many separate checks and she was too tired from working out that day to work. thumbs up sushi, thumbs down bartender.

ok so they seated a party that arrived after us before seating us and made us wait for an extra 20 minutes, then they messed up our order but the food is good and the presentation is great. i'd give them an a for the food and a d for service.

zen tastic. what a great place. the sushi is always great the presentation is always great. the non sushi is always great and the service is always great. this place it great

get the king's speech!

after reading so many reviews of zen it was a must try. we had four rolls that were amazing. my daughter likes cucumber rolls with cream cheese which was not on the menu. when we asked about it, her request was happily accomodated. service was really good as well. definitely will be back!

who knew?. who said there are no good restaurants west of the ashley? a friend chose the restaurant. what a find! at the end of 526, the best asian in charleston. have the coconut shrimp. i made everyone in our party taste it and all agreed. everything was good.

friendly wait staff and the chicken pad thai was delicious!

toooo expensive!!!. food was ok, but it was way tooooo expensive, me and my sister went there couple month ago, we order 3,4 rolls of sushi, it was very pretty, but the bills wasnt pretty, cost around 80 dollars. plus tips. we were still hungry after the meal. :(

every intent of going back. while the presentation misses the mark a few times (the tunatini is delicious but looks ridiculous), flavor wise these guys knock it out of the park. excellent flavors and anybody that looks at the menu and sees things they think they'd like, you're most likely going to. had a table ranging from people that really expect restaurants to wow them with complexity to people looking for mild, "safe" flavors, all i heard from anybody was praise.

amazing. the sweet potato roll is awesome. this was my first time eating thai food and i loved it.

the best sushi place in charleston and all the staffs there are awesome too!
love the cracken rolls and their lunch sushi special!

love this place , best sushi roles in charleston

love this place! much cooler looking on the inside than the outside would indicate.

the fourbtimes i have been the service has always been excellent and helpful. the sushi always fresh and delicious.
i tend to prefer a more basic style of sushi and they have numerous fresh rolls, nigiri and sashimi that accomodate my tastes. they also have he numerous array fo beautiful specialty rolls that are fantastic and if you prefer your sauces on the side like i do they accomidate!

a perfect place to take a date!!!

this is one of my absolute all time favorite sushi restaurants in charleston. they have the best creamy ginger salad dressing i've ever tasted. one of my favorite items on the menu is their tuna tartar topped with avocado. my favorite sushi roll is the west ashley. it has everything i love all in one roll including different tastes and texture with a little crunch thrown in for extra measure. the staff is always knowledgable and friendly, so welcoming. they have other menu options as well. of those my favorite is the green curry. the decor is fresh and stylish with clean lines and textures. their bar area is very cool!! their cocktails are amazing with a lot if thought put into them. all in all a winning combination for a successful operation.
