What People Are Saying About Sushi Zushi

The Scene – The decor is more hip-hop samurai than Zen garden. Cream-colored walls accented with black wood and a red sushi bar display artsy photos and bold steel sculpture. Track lighting illuminates diners while a house/funk beat plays. High-backed leather booths are regal in size and command kingly views of the dining room. – – The Food – This San Antonio-based chain pleases die-hard sushi fans and steak eating Texans alike. Start with a cooked item and follow up by ordering sushi. Served hot, the tappan yaki is a savory mixed grill with choice of meat accompanied…

I keep going back so it must be pretty good

The food at Sushi Zushi is fresh and most of it is pretty delicious. The menu is very extensive so you can definitely find something you will like, and there are several cooked rolls on the menu, so it is a good place to go if you are bringing someone who doesn't normally like sushi. The service isn't the best, especially with groups. Most of the time that I go to Sushi Zushi I end up having to remind a waiter about something that I ordered that they forgot, but then it is corrected quickly. One word of caution: pay attention to the symbols on the menu that tell you if a specific dish is spicy, because they are not kidding. I have brought several friends to Sushi Zushi who love spicy food and they have been unable to eat rolls with the spicy symbol next to the name because of how hot they are.
- Pros: variety of options, sushi quality, unique menu, atmosphere, parking
- Cons: service (at times),

Zushi Schmooshi
by Unilover
As a fairly experienced diner, allow me to say a few things about Sushi Zushi. But just a few, since the unfortunate experience does not warrent more effort. Can you say, "Twelve year olds serving unneccesarily expensive sushi in only the most mediocre of styles?" Whatever goes on in a kitchen in terms of excessive and juvenile emotionality certainly does not warrant a bottle of beer slammed down on a table so hard that eight people divided amongst three tables stop what they are doing so as to decide whether or not there's a maniac loose with a gun and requires innocent bystanders to duck under our tables in an emergent survivalistic action. Listen, at the end of one of my bitch-ass business days, I am ready for a more than a little service and at least some acceptable food. What should have (and could have) been a lovely early evening as a prelude to something more enjoyable, was cut short by some apparent snit a server had with other less important servers- at least in his and their minds. Guess what? The beer bottle-slamming adolescent was none other than the alleged manager! The whole thing was nothing less than overwhelmingly disappointing. Whomever owns the establishment needs to spend a couple of evenings observing from a quiet corner so that he/she/they become aware of the personality disturbances which are costing it its reputation. By the way, uni, is in my opinion, a way to gauge the standards of a sushi restaurant. If the sushi "chefs" fail to closely examine (including visual and olfactory inspection) the uni it serves before serving it, they are compromising an opportunity for a deal-breaking or deal-making relationship with would-be culinaires. Boo.
- Pros: excellent apple martini
- Cons: absurdly bad service
