Great place with a beautiful location, friendly staff and reasonable prices. Great choice of menu, with delicious rolls. The sushi is very fresh, especially the tuna. I definitely recommend the noodles, they were absolutely on spot and tasty! Many thanks to the waiting staff for being so polite and warm.

Very nice local Sushi restaurant. Visited on a Sunday lunchtime so parking was easier than it would be usually. Service is quick and friendly, the menu is extensive and the dishes arrive nicely presented with excellent, authentic flavours. Only docking a star due to the fact that some of our sushi was a little warm, as if it had been left in the serving window under the lamps, which should not be happening. Aside from this, recommended. Second visit was also excellent, this time, unfortunately, they did not have cream cheese for the asparagus and cream cheese California rolls but instead of telling us this, attempted to substitute it with mayonnaise, which didn’t really work. Would still recommend

Really cute restaurant, friendly staff - the vegetable curry was so nice and flavourful, good potion of edamame and nice ice cream flavours! Good for vegetarians

We have been longing for a decent Japanese food in UK for quite sometimes already. Sushi zento didn’t disappoint me! The food was surprisingly good. The sashimi boat was amazing!!! Many kinds of fishes there! Its very fresh and delicious definitely worth to order if you love fish, its a decent portion for only £39. The tempura was very crunchy but moist inside which is perfect!!! It tasted as good as it looked. Their rolls are even better, look at the spider rolls and green dragon roll! I cant express how much I like the rolls! Then we ordered the mochi ice cream to end this amazing dinner. I have to say even this dessert amazed me especially the strawberry mochi ice cream, they even have strawberry bits in it! Highly recommend the food!! They also have very polite staff too Definitely will come again!!!!
