Sushi Zanmai

Simple, straight forward, fresh, and of course: authentic.

Tuna Zanmai $42 10 piece tuna set
Salmon Trio $8
Jumbo Sea Eel Nigiri $10

I stopped by right at noon and the place was pretty empty so I took a seat at the counter. There is waitstaff but you place your order on a tablet. Of course both waitstaff and chef are still present and available to help, check in, clear your table, etc.

All the fish was cut well, fresh, and delicious. The rice was consistent and well made, slightly warm for a good bite.

The jumbo eel was so soft and delicious. I was worried how I would eat it but it cut easily when biting it or using my chopsticks to tear off a piece.

Salmon was delicious across the board.

And the tuna. Each cut was amazing, just like what I got at Sushi Zanmai in Tokyo. My favorites being the Chu toro and Negi toro.

What made the experience even better was definitely the staff. Host, hostess, waitress, and the chefs are all so incredibly kind, friendly, and helpful. They love chatting with you especially if you’ve been to Japan and/or Zanmai in Japan.

I appreciate the focus on nigiri and more traditional Sushi plates so this will definitely be a place I return.
