" Zu Izakaya offers a fine selection of both sushi and Korean fare. I greatly enjoyed the pork bulgogi, though I did find the sushi underwhelming in comparison. The atmosphere was friendly and comfortable, with quick service to start but delays as the night went on. I think this place has potential! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing many recommendations, I decided to check out Zu Izakaya. I wasn't disappointed! The sushi had a delightful freshness and the hot pots are perfect for a chilly day.

" Great experience overall! I tried the spicy hotpot and sushi rolls. The flavors were really good, and the portions were decent. My only issue was that the restaurant was a bit loud, making it hard to have a conversation. I appreciated the friendly staff though! " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by Zu Izakaya with a craving for sushi and hot pot. The gyoza was a great start! The sushi was fresh, but I've had better elsewhere. The atmosphere is vibrant, making it an enjoyable dining experience. Service was decent but could be faster. I didn't leave disappointed, just with a desire to try more of the menu.
