Zento

Some of the best Raman I have ever had and delicious sushi.

A little over priced. Food is average. Not bad.

OMG the Calamari was probably the best I've had, Sukiyaki wasn't bad either. Nice cozy spot, wait staff was pretty good although when I went (Friday at 7) there were only two other sets of guests there.

Very good sushi and other prepared dishes. Best dish I've had there was mussels steamed in a green curry. In a city with so many places serving mussels it's tough to make a dish stand out. Be aware that there while it is open for lunch on the weekend there are no lunch specials.

Zento is one of the best restaurants in Philadelphia. I come here a few times a month and try to order something new every time, and have yet to find anything short of fantastic. They have a large liquor selection and a fantastic bar tender. The staff is incredibly kind and the atmosphere is a nice mix of modern and old, which is perfect for this section of the city.

The service was decent, the sushi was really good, never had to call the waiter they checked up on us frequently

AMAZING. Can't say enough good things about Zento! Every single thing I've ever ordered on the menu has been fabulous and even though I have my favorites I do try to order at least one new thing each time because there are SO many options. The service is great, drink selection is vast, and the atmosphere is always enjoyable. Don't hesitate to check it out!

Absolutely phenomenal customer service! Took my wife there for a 7 course meal on her birthday. The staff made it a really great experience. And the food was really amazing, lots of flavor, and impeccable presentation. The menu was not overwhelming but still had lots of variety. We will definitely be back.

Great sushi spot with broad menu and reasonable prices.

Good place for decent sushi.

The Love Roll, Zento Square and the new Mexican Roll are my fav! They recently partnered up with Grey's Lounge and now have two bars. They now can serve more people!

Best sushi ever why did it close

Very good good sushi. Dining a little "intimate" for my taste, as in when a drunk diner is two tables away acting obnoxious, there's really no sense of privacy at your own table and not really anywhere else to go...

This cozy yet upscale Japanese restaurant is a great place for good cocktails, sushi, ambiance and service. Their ramen soup is absolutely top notch.

Fantastic, fresh, interesting. Staff wasn't put off, & was accommodating, when we requested a different table than we were originally directed to. Ordered a ton of sushi & every wave of food that came out was equally fresh & delicious. In a lively neighborhood with many places to visit after dinner for drinks, extensive craft beer lists & billiards. Note: Zento has its own parking lot (which we didn't know about, so spent $20 on parking) & they validate.

The sushi is absolutely amazing and they have great Japanese beer. The prices are perfect for the area and cuisine along with great service!

Great service. Excellent drinks and sushi.

The sushi was very good, but the marketed "reverse happy hour" was underwhelming with deals only on a subset of their cocktail menu, and nothing else.

By far the best food I've ever had! Everything was so incredible. The setting is beautiful and in the center of so any landmarks. The inside is casual, yet intimate setting.I highly recommend it and I will definitely be coming back!!!!

The old city roll is great. Good drinks and saki selection. Friday nights get a little crazy and staff can slow down a bit. Otherwise, this place is great.

Great sushi, Great green tea, Great service. Detractors: No liquor license...yet!

The reverse happy hour is the reason to go, but you must sit at the bar to get the benefit. This is not made clear. Nonetheless, love the place, friendly service, lovely people. SIT AT THE BAR DURING REVERSE HAPPY HOUR. :)

Great food relaxing atmosphere the staff are friendly

Great cocktails and modern Japanese fusion. Go for the Peking duck spring rolls!

go-to place for fresh and fast sushi. great for take-out. teeny seating space.

My fiance took me to Zento for my birthday and we were not disappointed. The sushi was tasty and fresh but the highlight was the fried calamari and the green tea tempora ice cream. A little overpriced but I'd still go back. Great service and a nice decor and ambiance.

Just OK. Some rolls better than others in taste and price. Wasabi for some reason was not spicy at all. Has an impressive list of specialty cocktails.

Every time I visit I have fun! It's exciting & entertaining! I love the food & the house salad always fresh & the dressing is amazing!

This is the place for sushi in my opinion. Everything is fresh and delicious.

Omg amazing food service Found it on travelzoo 3 course meal for two 49 bucks including any drink hello

Decent - atmosphere is great! Sushi is average for town. Nice place for a date. BYOB was nice (not going to last though b/c they are getting their liquor license back).

Sushi was fresh and tasty. Service was friendly and attentive. The house mojito is delicious.

amazing! must try next time ur n south philly...

Amazing Sushi. Everybody should try their Salmon Zento Square sushi. Tastes so good.

Five stars for the steamed dumplings and green tea mochi ice cream (not too sweet, actually tastes like green tea, perfect)

I had a wonderful time celebrating my brithday with my girlfriend at Zento. The food was excellent and the sushi tasted very fresh - the sake list was great...But...... all of that came crashing to a halt when my girlfriend and I saw a mouse run across the floor right after we finished eating. Zento has great food, but they need to call an exterminator.

This place has awesome sushi and drinks!

After visiting the Ice Rink, my wife and I strolled into Old City to grab some dinner. Almost missed Zento except for the specials sign. The place was just absolutely beautiful. The decorating touches were all pulled together to make an intimate yet modern statement and definitely set the tone for a relaxed meal. From the saki to the soups, sashimi and sushi, it was all delicious. In fact, the Salmon sashimi was the best i've ever eaten. Even though the restaurant was half full that evening, the service was attentive and professional. Zento even had great touches like the charging station located next to the restrooms in case your electronic device needs a charge. We are in Philly about once a month and can't wait to return for another chance to enjoy this new found gem. Definitely 5 STARS!

Best Japanese cuisine and fresh sushi in the area hands down. They do it right. Top quality service with an extensive menu selection. In the heart of Old City Philly.

Romantic candle-lit rear dining room, rustic brick walls, narrow Tokyo-style bar, and impeccable service. The owners are typically there on the weekends, as attentive to detail as when they opened.I come here a lot because I know the owners really take care in everything from the food prep, to the wine list, to selecting great sake. Every time I've gone, I've experienced nothing short of excellent sushi, and quality service. And it goes without saying that the owners have done an excellent job recreating the feel of a true sushi/sashimi bar from Tokyo. If you want to take a date for sushi, this is definitely the place to go, and make sure you sit in the back.

Had a wonderful time.. Sushi tasted very fresh, the lychee mojito was to die for.. Great ambiance ... ... Although, midway through my second cocktail my date pointed out what was to be a mouse running along the floor. Even though the food was great, I will not be returning due to pest infestation. Please take care of this matter. I see I'm not the only person, who has observed this. Call an EXTERMINATOR!!!!

Amazing experience,very chill environment, tasty food and decent prices.

Excellent house mojito. Sushi is fresh and delicious.

great food. really delicious and creative. service is hit or miss but they mean well.

Never had sushi before, it was fantastic. Christan was so helpful and friendly! Would highly recommend.

The lunch combos are huge, it's a lot of food. The sushi is rolled tightly. Often not enough wasabi but that's just a personal preference. Some of the best tempura soup I've had with take out.

Check this place out when you're in Philly

Great Sushi & friendly staff. Cool spot for a date.

Absolutely amazing sushi here. It's the best sushi I've had yet. Great atmosphere and mood inside. It's cozy and great for dates. The selection of sushi is good with vegetarian and seafood options available. Including the Caviar, Masago.
