What to Eat at Sushi ZEN How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Sushi ZEN, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.

“I’d give the food a solid 3.5 stars. nothing special about it. Overall, I liked it still! What made it even better? I got 50% off through the Noon app, which made the whole experience more worth it. Decent flavors, good portions, and a nice deal. Wouldn’t mind coming back for a quick sushi fix.”April 2026

Bright shrimp tempura roll Net +1
“I opted for their ‘Limited Time Offer Box 16 pieces’- 4 Pcs salmon teriyaki roll, 4 pcs bright shrimp tempura roll, 4 pcs crazy crispy crab salmon roll, 4 pcs chicken cutlets fusion roll. And, my sister opted for their ‘Limited Time Offer Box 12 pieces’- 4 Pcs crazy crispy crab salmon roll, 4 pcs bright shrimp tempura roll, 4 pcs chicken cutlets fusion roll. The sushi was absolutely delicious with each bite and the flavours were flavouringggg 🤤, loved how fresh these were and the presentation of each roll was delightful. I enjoyed mine with a dip of soy sauce and ofcourse wasabi 👌🏻. The only drawback was that we wished there was more rice used to wrap the sushi as some of it kept falling apart when we tried to pick it up and we wished the size of the shrimps were a bit bigger because we could barely taste it. Apart from these, the fusion of flavours was pretty decent and I would recommend it.”

Bibimbap Net −1
“Very disappointed with our order 1/10. We had the bibimbap, dumplings, and chicken siomai, but all items arrived cold, which already affected the overall experience. The beef portion in the bibimbap was extremely small—about 1 spoonful only—which was not worth the price. As for the dumplings and chicken siomai, they were also disappointing as they barely had any chicken filling and lacked flavor. Overall, the food quality and value did not meet expectations.”

Tips for a Better Visit
Check delivery. Inspect sushi for smell, temperature and the expected fillings as soon as it arrives; several reviewers reported cold or questionable food.
Confirm fillings. If ordering a sushi box through Noon, confirm the selection and fillings: one customer received mostly cucumber and imitation crab.
Request condiments. For larger boxes, check the soy sauce and wasabi quantities or request more; one 32-piece order received enough for about 10 pieces.
Use discounts. Check Noon offers before ordering; a customer found the meal more worthwhile after receiving 50% off.
Watch cooked dishes. If ordering ramen, yakisoba or dumplings, check that they arrive hot and properly cooked; multiple reviews describe cold or undercooked items.
Expect fusion. If you want premium or traditional sushi, set expectations carefully: reviewers describe cheap ingredients, vegetables and canned tuna in many rolls.

Cucumber-heavy rolls
Some customers received rolls dominated by cucumber and imitation crab instead of the advertised variety or expected fish.

The Bottom Line
Sushi ZEN is a delivery-focused Japanese restaurant in Business Bay where you can order sushi boxes, poke, ramen and cooked dishes. The most encouraging reviews mention the gyudon beef bowl, beef garlic butter rice and gyoza, while the sushi menu includes colourful fusion boxes such as the 16-piece 1st anniversary Box. Packaging is a genuine highlight: customers describe gradient-toned boxes, tiny soy sauce bottles and small saucers for dipping.
There is a worthwhile value angle when app promotions appear. One Noon customer said a 50% discount made an otherwise ordinary sushi order more appealing, and other reviewers found portions satisfying and the presentation neat. Positive delivery reports mention food arriving on time, warm and well packed.
The caution is consistency. Several customers reported cold ramen, gyoza or dumplings, warm sashimi, dry noodles and rolls with unpleasant smells. Sushi size, fish quantity and fillings also vary: some orders were praised as fresh and flavourful, while others were described as tiny, cucumber-heavy or made with imitation crab and canned tuna.
Check the box promptly on arrival, especially when ordering through Noon or another delivery app, and confirm that the fillings and condiments match what you selected.
