	Has some wonderful sushi and creative rolls. The price however does lessen the value of what you get. The sashimi is very good. Almost twice the price of other great sushi places but they also give you a little more. The pieces are huge. The tempura shirmp is phenominal.

	Glad I checked this restaurant! Great atmosphere... cozy! Great service...especially one 'tall' Chinese waitress along with the 'sushi' master! Great sushi & sashimi! BTW, I'd come back everytime while I'm here in Calgary, especially my favorite hotel is Westin just across the street!

	My new favorite! February 06, 2011
	So as of last week, Globe Fish was my #1. After trying this, I have a new favorite. Here's my favorites: - Beef tataki (wish it came with more, but best I've had in Calgary) - Yoko Roll (love the yam & crab with volcano and teriaki sauces) - Volcano Roll (by far the best I've tried) - Kamikazi Roll was to die for - Shrimp tempura was excellent and the dip was really good with a nice lemon taste Can't wait to try again!

	HI, I just wanted to thank the staff at ZEN for the excellent and friendly service, great table, and outstanding food. The special birthday song and ice cream treat were a nice surprise! We all had a wonderful evening, and will be very happy to return to your restaurant. Thank you, again.

	Stick to the nirigi
	Finally had a chance to visit this restaurant - and was hoping the bluefin tuna was still available - which it was! Since I was at Blowfish the week before and was greatly disappointed by their bluefin (it tasted just like red tuna), I was reluctant but still had to order it here. At $4.90 a piece, while that is expensive, I had to say it was worth it (better than $10.50/2 pieces at Blowfish). ZEN's prices are on the steep side, but I have to say the nigiri was very good, while the rolls could be better. The temaki (hand cone) had a great proportion of rice and the seafood, and I didn't try the hot foods. I hope to go back there again soon and have more bluefin tuna!

	I came in to ZEN this evening with my wife and had such an excellent experience that I wanted to share it. Having only tried sushi a few times, we were unsure as to what we should order. ... was our server, she was knowledgeable and made several suggestions as to what we should eat and in what order. We stayed for about two hours, ordering each course individually and enjoying each course more and more! We especially loved the Super Kara prawns and when we were unsure of what to order for our last course, server recommended a roll that had those prawns in it. The atmosphere was great, the food was sensational, and our service could not have been better. Thank you ZEN! We will be back soon!

	A sushi lover's palace with the additional costs. Definitely not for the faint of heart. ZEN offers a wide variety of selection and fantastic assortment of rolls, nigiri, and sashimi. It also is one of the few places in Calgary that is run entirely by traditional Japanese people which means your quality of sushi is top notch, but don't let the assortment or quality of food stop you. Though the food may be astounding, you will be paying dearly when you receive your tad. Nonetheless it is a place you would want to go to for fantastic sushi at least once a year. Maybe once every two years. 4 stars outta 5

	Fantastic!
	I never get to order an entree as I'm always ordering from the small eats menu. The gyzoa, shushi and tempura prawns are so yummy. Went there 3 times in 4 weeks and the waitress could remember each order and then knew our tastes to try something new. Will go back! Also not too pricey, quite reasonable.

	ZEN is the best Sushi restaurant in Calgary 10th April 2010
	My gf and I love ZEN. Again, ZEN is up there with Rush as far as classy meets food excellence and you have to expect to pay a little more for these kinds of experiences. The thing with sushi for us is that it has to be fresh. We know when we eat fresh sushi and when we don't. In a lot of sushi restaurants in this city, the fish is far from fresh and mediocre at best. ZEN has never failed to impress us with the quality of the fish that is served and of course the attention given to presentation. The service is what you expect in such a restaurant; impeccable and always fast.No complaints here and will definitely go back

The food was tasty and fresh. The venue is modern and roomy and very clean and fresh and relaxing. Would not hesitate going back."

	"I always enjoy ZEN for flavorful and interesting dishes. The rolls are oustanding! The REFEREE STOP and ERUPTION rolls are amazing! I also recommend Spicy Scallops and Prawns as an appetizer. And of course, I appreciate the warm towel provided after I am seated!!"
