" My experience at Zest Sushi was not what I hoped for. The food was mediocre at best and lacked that authentic touch everyone raves about. I tried the shrimp tempura which was overcooked and the sushi rolls fell apart too easily. The atmosphere was nice and the service was adequate but I left feeling disappointed. Probably won't return unless I hear good things about their food improving. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, Zest Sushi was a pretty good experience, though I had hoped for a bit more authenticity. The food was mostly good, with a few standout items. However, there were a couple of things that could improve, such as the portion sizes not matching their prices completely. The atmosphere was charming, so I would like to give it another try! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dinner at Zest Sushi left me wanting more! Their sushi was incredibly fresh and tasted like it was just pulled from the ocean. Although we felt a little cramped inside, the vibe was chill and perfect for a date night. The tempura vegetables were divine, and the rolls were expertly crafted. I can't wait to bring my friends here for the happy hour! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had such a delightful experience at Zest Sushi. The sushi is truly exquisite, and their happy hour prices make it even better! The tuna and avocado rolls were divine, and I enjoyed their sake selection too! The restaurant was packed, but the staff remained friendly and efficient. I left feeling satisfied with both the flavors and the service. I can't wait to come back again and try more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you appreciate good sushi at accessible prices, Zest Sushi should be on your list! Their happy hour dishes are a highlight, and we especially enjoyed the crispy gyoza and the tuna nigiri. It’s a cozy spot, perfect for date nights or catching up with friends. I’ve been here a couple of times and have always had a wonderful experience with both the service and the food.

" Zest Sushi is a lovely little spot! My friends and I got table for the happy hour and the rolls were definitely a steal at that price! We enjoyed everything from the bento boxes to the sushi rolls, which were fresh and flavorful. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a great setting for a night out. I would come here again without hesitation! " (*Curated Review*)

" Zest Sushi Izakaya is a delightful hidden gem in the lower east side. I came here after hearing great things from friends and was not disappointed. The happy hour menu is fantastic, with rolls priced at just $5. I tried a spicy tuna roll, which had good flavor, but I wouldn't say it was the best I've ever had. Still, the service was quick and friendly, making the experience enjoyable. I appreciate the cleanliness of the restaurant, too. Would recommend to anyone looking for a casual sushi night!
