" Zencu has quickly become my go-to sushi spot. The freshness of the fish is unmatched; I had the bluefin nigiri which was heavenly! The prices are reasonable for the quality you get. The servers were prompt and friendly, making the experience even better. The only drawback is that it can get a bit crowded during peak hours, but that's a sign of its popularity! Definitely worth visiting if you love good sushi. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Zencu was a mixed bag. While my sushi was decent and presented nicely, I felt like the quality didn't match the hype. The service was friendly at first, but as the dinner progressed, they seemed overwhelmed as more customers piled in. I had a good time overall but felt I’d be better off trying a different sushi spot next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so many good things about Zencu, I finally decided to check it out. The sushi did meet my expectations—each piece was expertly prepared and very tasty. The portions were generous, making it easy to share with friends. The space is cozy but can be busy, so it’s best to go early. Overall, I'd say it's worth the visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friend recommended Zencu, and I finally tried it out. The sushi was fresh, but I felt that it lacked the bold flavors I usually enjoy. The ambiance was nice, and the servers were friendly, but the food didn’t quite live up to the reputation. I probably won’t return given the competition in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" The sushi here is fantastic, no doubt about that! I took my family for dinner last week, and everyone enjoyed their food. The portions were generous, and we left completely stuffed. One of my daughters doesn’t even like sushi but ended up loving the shrimp tempura roll. The service was prompt, and we really liked the ambiance. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for a great sushi place! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to trying Zencu after hearing so much about it, and it did not disappoint! The sushi I ordered was incredibly fresh, especially the salmon sashimi. The staff were very welcoming and attentive without being overbearing. The atmosphere has a nice cozy vibe, perfect for enjoying a meal with friends or family. I can't wait to come back and explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've discovered Zencu during a recent visit to Little Tokyo, and it was such a treat! The sushi rolls were some of the best I’ve had outside of Japan. I especially loved the combination of flavors in the special rolls. The service was quick, and the atmosphere felt just right for a casual dinner. I definitely plan on coming back!
