Zen Sushi and Gourmet Asian Cuisine in La Crescenta

The food was delightful. The young waitress doesnt seem to like her job. The sushi chef was perfection in every way, clean, cordial and perfection in food. I will definitely return and bypass the waitress who doesnt seem to want to work but will address you from across the restaurant rather than approach the customer to see what they need. She doesnt ask how you are or return to the table without searching for her even though the restaurant was near empty. I believe this restaurant would have lines around the corner with their food quality if the service were up to par at least

I have been coming to zen for many years, and has a very special place in my heart. I used to go with my tennis coach very often. We usually Get the Mongolian beef and kung pao chicken. You could also order some thing called a double salad, which is basically two servings of salad in lieu of the soup that you get with your lunch meals. Zen offers a very good value for lunch, and the quality of the food is pretty good highly recommend going with a group of friends, since it can be very cost-effective.Food - 14/20Service - 7/10Atmosphere - 6/10Total 27/40

This is supposed to be tuna roll. In a Tiny box, 6 smaller than a quarter size role for $10. Taste even worst tham It looks! Awful! Ralphs has much better rolls!

Not very crowded inside with a pleasant atmosphere. The sushi is incredibly fresh and the calamari was delicious. Love the way they presented the Salmon sashimi on the shaved ice. The spicy tuna hand roll was phenomenal. Desserts were delicious, as well. Definitely recommend!

A sushi place close to my house that’s very inviting and cozy to eat. I like the fact that Zen is a family run restaurant, so I always try to support them by eating and ordering from this restaurant. Of course the food is good and the service is great as well.I would definitely recommend you trying this place.

Consistent with their popping flavors, creative gourmet rolls and hospitality, - I enjoy coming here and supporting this family-owned restaurant.

Amazing staff. Attentive, kind, and fast! The food was great. I loved the salmon nigiri!Back in for more. Great, caring staff. Tasty food, and quick service. The place has a local, neighborhood, family feel. It’s awesome.There is usually street parking up front. There is also a little lot behind the restaurant, on the south side of foothill; with the parking entrance just east of the restaurant.Plenty of space. Tons of tables and booths. There is also a sushi bar. The menu is expansive, and reasonably priced. There are also happy hour specials/menus!

Interesting take on Asian Fusion. Reasonable prices and cheap beer.

My husband and I decided to try this reopened restaurant. O.M.G!!!!!!! DISGUSTING! The service was awful 😫! We waited 45 min before any food was served. The table was dirty, we asked to clean it, waitress just brought napkins so we would do that ourselves. The waitress didnt serve all the food we ordered and we still were charged for it. The sushi was served with rotten rice! I spit food out of my mouth! The bathrooms OMG!! Please see pictures attached. Hopefully health inspector will close them soon and this time forever!P.S. our all family got food poisoning.

The food was tasty, but what really impressed me was how quick the service was and how nice the server treated me from the moment I entered.
