“ Absolutely love this place! They have so many options and love their customizable bowls. Try the truffle ponzu! ”
“ Get your bum to ZenFish! Total hipster spot that is perfect. The space feels as though you just step foot in Brooklyn. I ordered the poke salad and loved it. Also, they have quinoa! Great staff! ”
“ The nachos are the best! Honestly, this place is great. Located in a complex, the parking is easy. You can order online or come inside. They have a create your own poke bowl. They come in two sizes and have variety of ingredients. The staff is friendly and make it a pleasant experience. ”
“ Fish is always fresh and tasty, and the sauces are great. I really appreciate that they use compostable bowls, lids etc. ”
“ Lots of options for a good price! The food was high quality with more options for the base, toppings, and sauce than most places! There’s not a ton of seating but they do use compostable containers, which is awesome! The service was fast and the food was good! ”
“ When I first heard the term "deconstructed sushi bowl", I thought there was no way it could be as good as sushi rolls but I stand corrected. Yes, prices were not cheap but I felt they were reasonable for quality and portions of food you receive. The bowl I got was fresh and delicious. I'll definitely be returning. ”
“ House tuna and spicy tuna tossed in miso Ginger, cucumber and Sriracha aioli, over a bed of the most delicious brown rice I have ever tasted it was tender and had all kinds of delicate flavors in it, next time definitely getting extra brown rice. A touch of cilantro would have been nice but they didn't have any! The spicy tuna seemed to be the cats meow, as the house tuna had a few un-filleted strings of sinew. The next time I want to try the kombuchas they have, I did not realize how much they really had to choose from on the drink menu until I sat down and looked around decoding the different handwritten font wall and decoration menus of drink choices, they had all kinds of other amazing stuff to sip on besides glass bottle pop! Whoever wrote some of those menus in doctorish sand script or whatever font that was, really had a great time. ”
“ I work near by and have to refrain from eating here all the time! It’s so good, healthy and fulfilling. I always order the same thing; a poke bowl. A large bowl will get you five scoops of protein (salmon, tuna, octopus, shrimp, etc) and unlimited extras such as edamame, seaweed salad, sesame seeds, sticky rice, kimchi, etc. It’s delicious but a little pricey. ”
