The Take
Zen Bistro Grill & Sushi Bar delivers fresh tuna and crab that get wrecked the moment anything hits the fryer. The raw fish earns praise but the menu loads up on tempura rolls and fried calamari that use the same industrial oil as every other strip-mall spot.
People order here to signal healthy eating while coping with the same processed sauces and rice that define mid sushi chains. Stick to the sashimi or nigiri to avoid the sludge entirely.
The Verdict
The fresh fish is the only honest part of the menu. Everything else signals health while delivering the usual industrial treatment.
Order the sashimi or nigiri platter with miso soup and grilled fish.
