Zenko Sushi in Mission Viejo

Ive been coming to Zenko for over 5 years. Sadly, their sushi is no longer high quality. Before the pandemic they had all you can eat sushi that was incredible! I enjoyed my food there every time I went. However now, all you can eat is sub-par. Its nice that they still offer it though! They are one of the last all-you-can-eat sushi restaurants in the area. Just dont expect high quality fish.They receive 3 stars because I still go here, and I believe that they provide good service! Please check them out, its worth a visit!

What a joke! $28 for all you can eat sushi and the food sucks. 80% rice, 20% fish. Older lady who was the waitress was rude. Rolls were tasteless, such a bad experience! What a waste of $60 for me and my girl friend. Didnt even order a second round...

I dont remember if I went to a sushi place with all you can eat. I dont know why I accepted the idea and went for it. I went with some young people and followed their recommendations since they were here before. I love spicy tuna and that is it. Sure I try all the other ones, but I know a good spicy tuna. Food arrived and it was a mountain of sushi. We had a lot of people but it was too much. Flavor profiles and looks were similar. Maybe little stickers identifying what is what would help. For what it is, its great. Not my cup of tea. Service was fine. One two servers running around and working overtime. Hard to waive them down for fresh water or else. Be ready for your order...Three sushi Chefs behind the bar creating what is ordered.(I think, they must have prepared rolls). Its a full restaurant and three TVs preparing the background noise and color.We made a beginner mistake and ordered too much not knowing how much it actually is. Order less on the first of three rounds and be selective. Too much rice and heavy sources for me, covering the little flavor sushi has. Not what you normally expect from a sushi restaurant, but I had to remind me -> all you can eat! Dont expect first class sushi, you will get sushi not first class.The tuna was not in one piece, rather a tartar. (Hint).Check it out and find your favorite.It was OK for hungry hippos who want to believe they get a great deal for $30...I suggest, eat less and get better quality...lol.

Ive gone to Zenko for about 10 years and theyve always had average sushi for all you can eat deal, but the last two times Ive gone it was regrettable. The servers are great, young girls doing a good job. But holy sh!t when you try to pay they add other peoples orders to yours! Both last times! And the lady running the place is super rude! Used to be $25 all you can eat, now its $45 and still Oklahoma sushi. Never going back

It was supposed to be all you can eat menu. But after two servings the hostess told us that we are allowed three servings only. If you go there make sure each order is large. Food was average. Lots of sushi no sashimi.

Great sushi but the service was slightly lacking. The all you can eat was a great value but they do charge if you dont finish your meal.

Fantastic Sushi restaurant located conveniently off the 5 freeway. The food is fresh, delicious, and satisfying. The service is terrific and highly recommend it for lunch and dinner.

Sushi quality is questionable! Bento box had dry chicken, all rice CA roll, and overcooked tempura. The host was rude and controlling. Zenko needs to stop cutting corners and focus on quality. This area has much better sushi options dont settle.

Let me start off by saying we love no where near this restaurant but drive over an hour to come about once or twice a year. It is worth it! The staff is so friendly and the food is amazing. The variety of rolls in the all you can eat cant be beat. I highly suggest the BSCR and the baked green mussels, they are a must!

Great sushi and the price is right! Cant believe its all you can eat for about 35 bucks! Well be back!
