" I was really disappointed after visiting Zencu. The sushi lacked the freshness I had hoped for, and the overall taste was underwhelming. While the atmosphere is pleasant and the staff kind, I wasn't impressed with the food quality given the prices. I think there are better sushi options out there. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say, I was quite disappointed with my experience at Zencu. The sushi was overpriced for what it was, and the service left a lot to be desired. Initially, everything seemed fine, but as it progressed, we felt ignored. When we finally got our food, it felt lacking in freshness, and I even found my roll to be a bit mushy. Maybe it was just an off night, but I won’t be rushing back anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the most amazing experience at Zencu! From the moment I walked in, the staff treated me like family. I opted for the chef's special, which was a delightful selection of sushi and sashimi. Each piece was fresh and beautifully presented. The space is cozy and perfect for enjoying a meal. Highly recommend the calamari as an appetizer too! I will surely be back. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! I stopped by Zencu not expecting much, but I was blown away by the quality of the sushi. The combination rolls are a must-try, and the spicy tuna roll had a kick that I loved. The atmosphere is lively yet cozy, making it perfect for a date or a casual outing with friends. Staff members were incredibly polite and helpful throughout the meal. I’ll definitely be back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by Zencu for a quick lunch, and it was a fantastic find! The sushi was fresh and flavorful, and I liked the variety on the menu. The service was prompt, and I was seated quickly. My only complaint was that I wish the portions were a bit larger. Overall, a great spot for a quick sushi fix! " (*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!
