" Upon my visit to New Zen, I was genuinely impressed with the quality of food. The sushi rolls were crafted with precision and tasted fresh. I had the chicken katsu, which was cooked perfectly—crispy on the outside and tender inside. The atmosphere is lovely, perfect for casual dining. However, be prepared for a bit of a wait, since it’s a small operation with limited staff. Overall, very worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by New Zen for a quick lunch, and the experience was just okay. The sushi was average, and while the atmosphere was charming, the service was quite slow. I expected more in terms of flavors from the food. I might give it another shot but won't be rushing back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't express how much I enjoyed my meal at New Zen! The sushi was beautifully prepared, and the tempura was just right—crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The staff were friendly and efficient, making it a great experience overall. I look forward to trying more dishes on my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" My latest visit to New Zen was underwhelming. The atmosphere was cute, but I was disappointed by the lackluster flavors of the sushi. I expected more based on their reputation. The service was friendly enough, but the wait time was extensive, which detracted from the experience. I have mixed feelings about returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" New Zen has a unique charm that makes it stand out! The interior is simple yet inviting. My friends and I ordered several rolls, and while they were tasty, I wished the portions were a bit larger for the price. The staff was attentive and friendly, making our meal enjoyable overall. I look forward to returning and trying more dishes. " (*Curated Review*)
