" Most delightful dining experience! I went with my family to celebrate a birthday, and it was simply perfect. We ordered various rolls and a few different dishes, and everyone was thrilled with their meals. The sashimi was exceptionally fresh and flavorful. The atmosphere was lively yet still intimate enough for our special celebration. Service was prompt and friendly. This place has earned itself a loyal customer! " (*Curated Review*)

" The sushi here is top-notch! I’ve been coming for years, and the consistency in quality is something I deeply appreciate. The freshness of the fish is something I’ve always admired. The ambiance is lovely, making it a comfortable spot for a meal any day of the week. Don’t miss out on the specialty rolls, they’re incredibly flavorful! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a disappointing lunch at Zen Toro recently. While I had high expectations, my sushi roll fell apart as I picked it up. It tasted fine but didn't stand out as remarkable, which was a disappointment given all the glowing reviews. The service was pretty average, and I didn't feel particularly welcomed. I might need to reconsider if I return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Zen Toro has a pretty good reputation, and I was excited to finally give it a try. The sushi was fresh and well-prepared, but the service left something to be desired. I was seated promptly, but it took a long time to get my order taken. Once the food arrived, however, I was impressed by the quality. The prices were reasonable, and overall, it was a decent experience. I’d probably give it another shot in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a group dinner at Zen Toro—what a beautiful experience! We sampled a variety of dishes, and every single thing was delicious. The service was top-notch, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure our evening was memorable. Especially loved their specialty rolls; you have to try the baked crab! Highly recommend this place for any occasion. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a very mixed experience at Zen Toro last week. The food quality is great, and the sushi is fresh, but I found the service lacking for such a well-reviewed spot. It felt like the staff was overwhelmed, and it took a while for our drinks to arrive. Would still consider coming back for the food, but hoping for better service next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you're in Davis, Zen Toro is an absolute must-try. The sushi is fresh, and the combinations of ingredients are delightful! I ordered the albacore sashimi and a couple of hand rolls, which were fantastic. The decor is simple but elegant, enhancing the overall dining experience. Be sure to try at least one of their signature rolls! " (*Curated Review*)
