Angie HwangApril 24, 2014dramatic price increase on ramen&sushi and they raised the minimum to get 50% off sushi to $20 per person, which comes down to $10 per person :| its a business tactic.
CynthiaAugust 17, 2012I've been coming to this spot for over 6 years. 50% off delicious sushi all day every day and 50% off draft beers after 10pm.
Ben YoonJune 9, 2014They recently raised their prices 30%, which puts really negates their 50% off sushi deal to regular prices for comparable sushi. Not much of a deal to me anymore so I'll personally be looking around
Isaac RadnitzerOctober 28, 2014The half off deal is kinda a scam bc the sushi is 2x the price of what it should be. Sushi was average, chicken yakitori was very tender and probably the best thing we got
Leo HeiApril 14, 2013Good happy hour ($7 pitchers after 7PM) and good sushi and ramen at reasonable prices but the main waiter is such an asshole; their tip policy and table minimum policy are so stupid.
ju juNovember 3, 2016I got a 18 dolars dish thinking it would be 9 but it was already discounted. Conclusion: SHITY sushi for HIGH PRICE.
Jessica RiveraAugust 26, 2013Love this Place!!! Amazing Dancing Spicy Tuna, Golden Dragon (With Mango), and Delicious Zen Rolls!!! 🍱🍣
Really sad their other location Sushi Lounge closed down. Love their food. Salmon roll is my fave.
DSeptember 8, 2015Half off sushi but had to wait a long time for the food to come out. Prices were a lot higher than other sushi places
Good sushi. Too bad the prices have gone up by a dollar or two in the recent months. At 50% off though, still can't beat it.
Sushi and ramen are both cheap and delicious! 50% off sushi if you order 2+ rolls
Lisa RodriguezJuly 8, 2016The ramen took so long to come out. They actually forgot to put in one of our orders too. Also, our food came out at all different times- one order came out 10 minutes before another's dish came out!
Ellie RountreeDecember 3, 2011Surprisingly good ramen and sushi for a good price. If they repainted the line green wall, it'd be perfect.
Linnie DAugust 20, 2014Get the ramen burger but beware it's messy as all hell. Totally worth the dry cleaning bill.
Caroline Kay Hwa TanMay 25, 2012Delicious lunch special at $8.95! Comes with a ton of sides too. $15 min for card.
Tiffany ChangAugust 25, 2013Awesome sushi - great value. Jacked up the min to get 50% off sushi. Was $16 and now $20 (orig menu price).
My favorite. Really good sushi half price all day. Don't go for the ambience.
Dan LamMarch 23, 2013Not the greatest Sushi, but the half off discount is their only selling point. Service is okay, not so great you have to get their attention a couple of times for things like napkins and water.
Nick WiesnerJanuary 26, 2012Come after 10PM for sure. Also try the Tako yaki from the appetizers. Crazy good.
I love the udon noodles! Plus they recently repainted the entire place. Looks...different lol
Get soup salad combo with any 3 rolls for $3.75. Split with a friend - one gets soup, one gets salad. Great deal.- DJune 20, 2016Seafood ramen $15. Not worth it, very cheap on the seafood. They cut each shrimp into tiny pieces... Really???!
Tiffany KristichJune 5, 2012Beyond disgusting. Don't sit in the garden, you will just be looking at 4 orange cement walls with a rat or two running along the top.
Tanya RobinsonJuly 11, 2013Be aware that cold noodles is NOT a quick lunch. Allow at least 20 minutes for them to make it. Order Something else to hold you over if you have time.
Patrice ChenMarch 6, 2014They increased the prices here... Sucks. It's still 50% off but minimum is now $20. I came here for the prices not so much the quality of sushi...
Milly H.August 13, 2014Not the original Zen Noodle. Management changed .Prices went up a bit & menu changed. Still decent sushi.
I'm not afraid to order multiple California rolls! Go ahead and judge! :P
Jonathan MoroDecember 18, 2016Cheap sushi but low quality. They have a ramen burger which is decent. Ramen was average. Not enough meat in the ramen.
Ava LuNovember 25, 2011ALL DAY ALL SUSHI 50% but the sushi isn't fresh... the only time I will go back is probably for the Udon...
- The ramen burger is not bad. The shave ice is terrible! Ice is not shaved and the cup is not practical.
ovey yeungNovember 6, 2010Its 50% sushi all day and 50% off some drinks 10PM onwards but they treat you terribly. Friend's entire order was wrong and they wouldn't take it back and plan to charge him anyway.
14$ pitcher?! Half off sushi everyday?! East village gem ;)
