This place is located away from most of the action in the Tokyo Village mall. When we came for lunch we were able to get a seat promptly. They have some decent lunch sets, noodles, and sushi options. Portions for lunch were large. The tonkatsu ramen was okay. Waiters were very attentive and nice.

Had a short lunch here with friends. Seating was fast and simple. The atmosphere of the place was traditional and very cozy. Our appetizers came out quick! And so did our main courses. We were lucky to go in on a day when Bluefin Tuna was on the special menu, so I ordered the negi toro roll and bluefin nigiri.

Amazing sushi here. The fish is really fresh. The rolls are pretty big portions. Everything tastes amazing and goes well. Pretty much the best sushi I’ve ever had except some of the rolls are pretty spicy. We ordered a little too much and the price came out a little high, But you only need to order like one or two rolls per person honestly. We got literally like seven rolls and everything came out amazing. Not a single miss. The vibe and ambiance is lively and The service is phenomenal. All the waiters are very kind and The food came out really really fast like really really fast. Everything about the this place is Wonderful! Coming back here another time.

Stopped by while passing. Sushi salad was really good. Very very fresh and well flavored with soy sauce based dressing. Plenty amount. Fast service and spacious dining area. Only reason it’s not a five star is because I don’t know how good a sushi needs to be because I am not an expert in Japanese food. But definitely sushi that I ordered was tasteful!

Zencu has always been a great restaurant to eat at, been coming here for a long long time. I was introduced to this place by a good friend and now I am happy to introduce Zencu to friends and family.

I came here the other day because I was craving both sushi and ramen. I was pleased with how fast the service was and the staff were very friendly and professional. The sushi was really good and the ramen was okay. The food was a bit pricey. I enjoyed the atmosphere of the restaurant and a vaccination card was not asked for at the door. I recommend trying their crazy shrimp roll and Unagi shrimp roll.

I like the overall aesthetic of the restaurant but disliked just about everything else.

Found this place because everywhere else had insane wait times, and at this place we got seated quickly even with a party of 8. Sushi was some of the best I’ve had especially for being so affordable. My friends ordered an udon and ramen and they also said it tasted great for being so affordable.
