What Virginia CV doesn't like about Sushi-Zen Japanese Restaurant:
We were so disappointed that we won't return. We started going to Sushi Zen several years ago when our favorite waitress began to work there.

Nice family atmosphere. Very light sauces and soups that really bring out their healthy flavors. Their chicken teriyaki is wonderful AND they have brown rice.
