We went to Zenbu for dinner while staying in La Jolla. Our family (2 adults, 2 kids aged 12 and 9) thoroughly enjoyed the food.

We went during happy hour, so the prices were very reasonable. Had sushi and also teriyaki skewers. I'm not an expert, but I thought the sushi was delicious, very fresh and creamy texture. The waiter was very personable and helpful (brought me chopstick "helpers") The atmosphere was pleasant. more

If I could give it 0 stars I would. Sloooooow service. Wasabi was not created correctly, close to zero bite. Not worth the price. I had better food and service at Panda Express. My wife would rather eat at Safeway's food counter. Save the money, drive to L.A. and enjoy real sushi at Sasabune. more

The Party: 70-year old grandma that does not like sushi, picky 6-year old child that only likes pasta, 41-year old that eats sushi infrequently, and a 35-year old that loves sushi (me). The Food: Outstanding! The 6-year old that did not like much of anything devoured the teriyaki chicken with noodles. She talked about her food on the way home.... more
