Asheville is in North Carolina, in the Southeast, where summers are long, hot and humid, winters are mild, and afternoon thunderstorms and the hurricane season from June to November can change plans at short notice. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Asheville follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

Wish I could comment on the food but we didn't even get to that point. My friend and I were never greeted by our server after 20 minutes of sitting at a table. While I understand folks get busy, ignoring customers is straight up rude. We packed up and left for another sushi place down the road. Based on service alone, I don't plan on returning to Zen. There are so many other options on town, no need to deal with crappy service.

I love their miso soup, eel specialty rolls and Philadelphia roll. Both locations are good but I often prefer this one because S&W food court menu is limited. At both locations the staff remember us and are very friendly. The more basic rolls are super affordable I like to get one special and one basic.

Hands down the best dining experience in North Carolina! Our night at Zen Sushi was absolute perfection from beginning to end. The moment you walk through the door, you just feel this amazing, magnetic energy. The vibe is the perfect mix of cozy and trendyβthe kind of place where you instantly feel relaxed but excited to be there. It was packed, but the whole restaurant runs like clockwork. The team workflow and speed are honestly mind-blowing. We never had to wait around for a refill or wonder where our food was, yet we never felt rushed for a single second. But what truly made our night unforgettable was our incredible waitress, Ani. I am not exaggerating when I say she provides the absolute best service and hospitality in the entire state of North Carolina. Ani is an absolute gem. She greeted us with the warmest smile, and her energy was so infectious that she instantly elevated our whole mood. She treated us like old friends rather than just another table. We decided to completely trust her menu expertise, and man, am I glad we did. Every single recommendation she made was an absolute home run. We started with the soup and salad, which came out lightning-fast. The miso soup

So good that when my dad visited we went three times in less than a week. Best sushi Iβve had. Plenty of choice, even if you are vegan or vegetarian. I particularly liked the miso soup, tempeh, sweet potato tempura and avocado/cucumber rolls. The water is also very tasty!

As someone who would know this beyond hyperbole, Zen is among of the best sushi in the southeastern US. The combination of execution, freshness, and value makes this place one of my personal favorites. The staff is very friendly and they have been consistently delivering high quality cuisine for a LONG time.
