Hands down Zen has the best sushi & dumplings in Christchurch! I could really taste the quality and freshness of the ingredients in both the sushi and dumplings. The staff are super friendly and I love that the packaging is also environmentally friendly....Highly recommend!!
Zen does the best sushi in Christchurch! You can taste the difference with their high quality fresh ingredients.
You can pick and mix your own sushi box, they do great salads, their balsamic/wasabi and sesame dressings are amazing and their dumplings are also great!
They are set in the beautiful arts precinct and their staff, Richmond in particular really put in the effort to interact with their customers in a sincere and friendly manner which makes a huge difference!
Keep up the good work.
I recently gave this sushi and dumpling restaurant a try. The sushi deserves a mention as it's fresh enough. Can't say it blew my mind, but it won't disappoint either. As for the dumplings, I didn't get around to trying them, so I can't really comment on that. The service, on the other hand, was pretty good. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure I had what I needed. One thing to note is that the place seems pretty quiet during lunchtime, which can be a plus if you prefer a more relaxed atmosphere. The sushi's fresh, the service is good, and the lunchtime ambiance is calm. It's worth a visit if you're in the mood for some sushi or if you're looking for a peaceful lunch spot.
Love the ingredients in this restaurant, they are very fresh, and I love salmon sushi too much. One of the best sushi I have ever eaten, the dumplings are also very good, the environment in the store is also very comfortable, you must try it when you have the opportunity to come to Christchurch.
You go there for sushi and dumplings. More so for their amazing dumplings. I ordered mixed dumplings so I could try them all. I couldn't pick a favorite - all of them were amazing. The service is also good. They mixed up my order but they gave me 6 extra dumplings on the house. The place is small and has only a couple tables. It's mostly for take away. However, there is a park nearby that has benches where you can eat.
I would give it a 6 ⭐️ if I could. Rice are soft and shrimp crusty sushi is crusty! Dumpling sauces are amazing and the Boss gave me xtra spicy, so friendly! Higher hight recommended!
This is probably the best sushi & dumpling in town! The sushi is super fresh, the dumpling is freshly cooked on order. I have been to Japan and it’s difficult to find a similar one like what I had in Japan. Zen Sushi & Dumplings are selling the real quality Japanese food. It’s a small shop with a cozy environment around. You can sit anywhere around the area. Highly recommended!
Very rare for me to give a 5 star review but this place deserves it. This is a good example of a place showing it's not just fine dining that gets the best feedback. The owner is extremely friendly and helpful, happy to explain things and well priced. Nothing gourmet of fancy just very good quality food. Fanatic food only gets you so far, you need great service to go with it, this place does great with both. Free range chicken and pork, recyclable parts used here too.
The ingredients are fresh, the quantity is sufficient, and the choices are varied. It is worth a visit. Located in the center of Christchurch, very close to Hagrid Park. The price is affordable, if you pass by, you can try it if you don't have a good restaurant.
Just launched there and after my first 5/6 pieces which were so delicious decide to go for more. Owner recommended salmon and beef. We also add one more eel.
All was perfect. Fresh ingredients with top quality rice and smiling friendly personnel.
They definitely become one of the top 5 sushi places for me in whole NZ and number 1 in Christchurch.
Happy to see people focused on quality first.Well done.Thank you all there.
Really tasty dumpling. I can't decide whether I like the steamed or fried, or chicken, pork or beef so it's a toss up on how you feel on the day. Anyhow seats are quite limited here and it's all outdoor so I'll advise you take away and find another place outside to eat as you stroll along. I also love the wasabi packets they offer here, strong and addictive!
Excellent Sushi and Dumplings 😋👍🏻 REALLY YUMMY!! Very kind and friendly staff 💪🏻 The salmon ones were 🥰
