wonderful sushi experiance

by ravingredhead

over the past year and a half my husband and i have spent a great deal of time at the restraunt downtown and have NO bad experiances. there was a particular manager who might i ad is is no longer there that made the experiance a little less enjoyable but never as terrible as written by some of the other commentators. I'm sorry to say it folks but never have your expectations set too high at ANY restraunt, you're going to get your heart broken. Also the attitude that you project is going to affect the service you get, no one wants to wait on a snotty know-it all...sorry it had to be said, i'm a waitress. Also, in coming to a southern state in search of quality sushi, please realize there are going to be ingredients supplemented to suit the locals, not all business is strictly sushi experts. Anyways! The restraunt is fantastic. The servers are hospitable, funny, and attentive. the back of the house crew is prompt, and although not ":authentic" japanese chefs at the downtown location, they are incredible weilding a knife of that proportion with such skill and training, and if you're still not satisfied have a chat with either of the managers and i promise you'll have a smile on your face by the time you walk out of the door. Thank you for your time folks, enjoy the wonders of downtown SA!

• Pros: food, service, atmosphere
• Cons: i'm at a loss

Absolute Horrible Service

by XIE

My friends and i came to San Antonio for a vacation, we asked our hotel staff what's a good sushi restaurant around here and she recommended Sushi Zushi. So we came here to give it a try. First walked in, we didnt know if we were suppose to seat ourselves or wait?...looked around if there are any host or hostess...none...waited for like a minute then we just sat ourselves..

The Menu was HUGE..there was a lot of sushi that wasn't much different from each other..

When we got our food it was mediocre...nothing great about it...my friend didnt get his food yet...and everyone else did...and i asked our server where is his food...he said it's coming right now...all my friend order was a sashimi assortment..which should be the easiest and fastest to come out...he waited another 10 minute for it..then it FINALLY came out. My other friends and i already finished our food when his food just came out. And on top of that, he got my other friend order wrong..but she said it's okay.

It was a horrible experience...we just paid the bill and hurriedly left the place. Never are we going back there again.

• Pros: nice decor
• Cons: bad service, sushi were mediocre

Sushi Zushi is certainly not for the connoisseur.

by ahlpants

If you enjoy traditional Japanese ambiance and affair this is certainly NOT the establishment for you.

The menu was over bearing and confused. The restaurant has the atmosphere of your standard fusion. But there was nothing fused to it. Just blaring industrial music, non-Asian cooking staff. (Including the "Chef") Rude waiters and most discouraging no pre-meal beans.

If you know the difference between Sashimi and Sushi, skip Sushu Zushi.

Note: This is all my opinion based off my personal dining experience at Sushi Zushi.

• Pros: Hopefully there are better Japanese restaurants in San Antonio.
• Cons: Sushi Menu and Dinner Menu Smashed together in one, poor ambiance, rude staff, soggy noodles. Dry Rice.
