ZEN Restaurant & Bar in Bonn

We come here again and again; the food is great, the service is attentive, the wine is good, and there's no waiting time.

I ordered and said I had children waiting in the car, so all five people from the kitchen sat down and had lunch. After me, two more customers came and waited. I can't believe it, what kind of service is this????

We didn’t like anything in Zen restaurant, the raw Fish , the sushi, the poke bowl everything tased not fresh . Never come back again.

What can I say? I've been looking for a restaurant like this in Bonn, and I finally found it. The food was perfect; I absolutely love sushi. The staff was incredibly attentive and explained everything to us. It was a wonderful evening, and we'll definitely be back.

Very tasty food here, I happened to pass by and wanted some sushi, despite the mediocre staff it was a nice experience☺

Excellent sushi and great staff. I had a great time. A la carte menu. Dog friendly! Thank you so much!

We came here for dinner and were absolutely thrilled! The service was simply outstanding from start to finish – super friendly, attentive, and warm. The food was a real highlight: Even the appetizer was incredibly delicious and left us wanting more. The sushi rolls were fresh, creatively selected, and beautifully presented – you could immediately tell the attention to detail here. The desserts were also fantastic and perfectly rounded off the menu. The drinks were also excellent – ​​refreshing, tasty, and a perfect match for the food. Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable experience! We will definitely be back and can recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to enjoy the highest quality sushi and great service. 🍣💛

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommended! The two of us went to Zen Sushi in Bonn and were completely thrilled. You receive a warm welcome as soon as you enter – the staff is attentive, friendly, and immediately creates a pleasant atmosphere. The ambiance is stylish and inviting, with a beautiful, open kitchen where you can watch the food being prepared – a sign of trust and quality. Hygiene is of a very high standard, and everything appears well-maintained and professional. The culinary experience was a real highlight: The sushi was fresh, finely balanced, and perfectly presented, and the pasta dish with salmon was exceptionally delicious – the salmon was so tender, you just have to love it! A restaurant that impresses in every way – we will definitely be back!

The food arrived quickly and was very tasty. The amount of rice was manageable; it's a matter of taste how much you can consume. The big but is the price. The starters are €2-4 more expensive than usual, but again, that's subjective.

First time in Bonn, we were craving Asian cuisine and came to this place because of its proximity to the hotel. A fabulous discovery. Excellent service and excellent open-view kitchen. Great attention to detail and the dishes. We ordered spring rolls, gyoza, and the sushi mix for two. We left full and very satisfied. I would return to try other dishes; the menu was very extensive.

We had a great time here at Zen. The food was phenomenal and their drinks went so well with everything. We got to try some of their Asian fusion dishes and highly recommended their sushi rolls. Service and restaurant atmosphere were very enjoyable. Zen is a must-try place if you visit Bonn.

The food is incredibly delicious; it's hard to decide. It's beautifully presented. The staff is very friendly. You sit on long benches—well, comfortable isn't exactly what you'd call it, but that's probably the concept.

This was my second visit to this place. The atmosphere is very pleasant, the staff is attentive, and everything is clean. The first time we tried bowls — tuna for my husband and salmon for me — and they were truly delicious. Today we had a reason to try the sushi. To be honest, they were tender, beautiful, and tasty. We enjoyed everything and will definitely come back again.

As always, really delicious sushi, for me one of the best addresses in Bonn

We've been there several times now, and it's always been delicious! Delicious food and a nice atmosphere. Highly recommended!

The sushi is delicious and the atmosphere is pleasant. The prices aren't exactly cheap. The service is good.

Incredibly delicious! Very good quality. Great value for money. Absolutely recommend it!

We were in Bonn yesterday and were looking for a delicious restaurant. We found Zen and were delighted! Delicious food and truly attentive service! You deserve a bonus, chef! Highly recommended.

Great sushi, especially the crunchy rolls. The service is always attentive and friendly. Highly recommended.

Highly recommended restaurant! The sushi is fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. The quality is consistently impressive, and the atmosphere is pleasantly relaxed. A place we enjoy visiting again and again.

Average food. I don't understand the hype; there are better options. Nice and friendly service. Reasonably priced. BUT, unfortunately, there's little privacy while eating, as you have to share tables. If you're unlucky, you'll have strangers on your left and right at the same table. Unfortunately, the restaurant is very warm in the summer, so you sweat just sitting there. Card payments above €35 are not only unacceptable but also illegal. Therefore, unfortunately, not 5 stars.

Very tasty dishes. Beautifully presented. Friendly and attentive service!

Super friendly staff, extremely good food! We'd love to go back!

I'm giving it 5 stars because the food was absolutely amazing. Great sushi! However, we had to wait a bit long for our food while others who came after us already got theirs. A bit annoying. You also have to be prepared for the fact that you might not have your own table and have to share one with other (strangers).

Incredibly delicious! Such friendly staff—we'd love to come back 😍

We went for dinner for the second time today and were absolutely thrilled again. The food was incredibly delicious. The staff is very friendly and attentive, almost like family. Thank you for the excellent food! ❤️

The food is very good, but when you open the menu, it says you can only pay with a card for over €35. It's pretty rude and deceitful when you sit down in a restaurant, understandably unaware, and then are forced to order more to pay with the only payment method you have.

Great food and very friendly service. We got the sushi platter for four people!

Very tasty curry, pho and summer rolls & super nice waiter!

Very good Japanese restaurant. The seating is a bit odd, and the fish isn't quite up to par, but otherwise a pretty good, modern restaurant with friendly service. I'd be happy to come back.

I've been there so many times, and the quality hasn't declined! Super fresh food, nice and attentive staff, and extremely friendly. I always recommend eating here. I can recommend everything there, from soup to sushi! Simply delicious!

Good selection of Asian fusion cuisine. The food is always delicious and the atmosphere is great.

Top-notch service! The waiter took my order incorrectly and gave me a glass of juice on the house as an apology. The staff is super friendly. I highly recommend going there! The food is also delicious.

Very tasty Asian food and sushi - beautifully presented.

We visited Zen Restaurant for the first time yesterday. We had the sushi platter for two and also ordered fried sushi. Everything was of very high quality, fresh, and prepared with love. The service was first-class. We were asked frequently if we wanted something to drink, how we enjoyed our meal, and if anyone had any recommendations – that's rare. Thank you very much for that. We'll definitely be back because this really isn't comparable to all the all-you-can-eat restaurants where you can eat sushi.

Being that it's my first time hearing about the restaurant, my expectations were not so high. Now I can say after my dining experience, that this is an surprise waiting to happen! First off, the sushi is first class. Every piece of food was freshly made and served timely enough to enjoy. The service is top notch. Always there with a smile to take you order and to ask if you need anything else. You also have a choice of with eating with chopsticks of with knife and fork. In all, I would highly recommend a visit and to tryout the different sushi and bowls that they have. You will not regret it!

Very nice shop, great service and very tasty food

Very friendly staff. The food and drinks arrived quite quickly. The decor is very pretty during the meal.

Everything great, I would just put some nice music! Super fast and delicious, specially well attended by Riva

Absolutely brilliant!! Super delicious food/sushi. Super friendly service. Everything went quite quickly. We stayed until closing time and were able to see how the open kitchen was cleaned. Hygiene is a top priority here! Absolutely recommend it! Reservations are a good idea.

The place is amazing and food is delicious… but very costly compared to Munich .. didn’t expect in Bonn as i have been a local here few years back… Service not as expected… please explicitly mention that you want to order this item otherwise they place the order and then there is no system to cancel the order.. what kind of a restaurant is it?? Might be a bad day for me and the person serving😅

We were truly very satisfied! We'd go back anytime!

A modern and hip canteen-style sushi and Asian fusion restaurant with long tables and wooden benches without backrests. There are also two such tables outside, which are also used as a smoking area. During peak hours, up to eight people can sit at a table. Combined with the noise level, this is a great place for sociable people who like a lively and lively atmosphere. The staff is very attentive and the service is excellent. The food is served very attractively with steaming dry ice and other colorful decorations. We had sushi and a few appetizers, all of which were delicious and fresh, and the portions were absolutely adequate. In addition to classic maki and nigiri sushi, they also offer age, tempura, and California sushi, as well as fusion dishes such as curries, bowls, and pho – even some vegetarian options are available. We really enjoyed it – highly recommended.

love the atmosphere. the food was satisfying. will visit again

5/5 ✨ — Fresh and fast service! Very friendly staff. The presentation of the dishes was also very nice! The decor was nice and cozy.

This place offers tasty sushi but is very overpriced and plays extremely loud music. I can recommend it but those are just some things to keep in mind

Children and parents enjoyed it. The food tasted good and was reasonably priced.

Excellent food and nice service. Clear recommendation.

The waitress forgotten one of the dishes. We waited for more than 30 minutes until we noticed that nobody was cooking anything.

The food is fine, the drink is fine, the interior is fine, I like it, for us from the Czech Republic, of course, the prices are a bit high, but otherwise great.

Great Asian in Bonn. Tastes good, quality is good, and sushi is available "in the fog". Great effect, good restaurant.

I love the sushi here, we come here at least 4 times a year and always eat the same sushi because it is incredibly good. The price has really gotten more expensive in recent years, but that's how it is everywhere. Service is nice and attentive, only a small negative point because of the bartender, he is the first person you see when you enter the restaurant, he doesn't look at you or say hello, unfortunately I don't think it's good for the first picture. The atmosphere itself is quite well designed for a small restaurant... I also think it's great that you can look into the kitchen and see how the sushi is made.

The food was great, but the menu was extremely dirty and there was a strange smell at the entrance

Nice place, we only had drinks. The service was very good. Pricing reasonable.

Unfortunately it didn't convince us. There were three of us and we each had different dishes, all of which tasted very little and had little consistency. Prices are above average. Parking only in surrounding parking garages. Card payment possible. Ambiance stylish.

Mega delicious and great atmosphere

Very tasty food, prices are 110% worth it

The service staff was very friendly and tried hard, unfortunately the kitchen left a lot to be desired. The food was cold, the salmon was too small and tasted disappointing. In addition, the wrong dish was initially prepared, which further spoiled the overall impression.

Always a pleasure...food is great 👍👍

Ein kulinarisches Erlebnis! Ein Gaumen- und Augenschmaus! Entspannte Atmosphäre und nettes Personal. Sympathischer Besitzer. Gerne wieder!!!

One of the best restaurants I've visited! Totally nice service, super delicious food and a wonderful ambience. I would love to come back here 😍

Relaxed atmosphere and super delicious food.

I was in the restaurant recently and unfortunately I have to say that the service was really disappointing. The waitress was very unfriendly and even yelled at us because we, as a group of students, didn't leave a tip. It was really unpleasant when she said that the restaurant was making a loss because of us. Such disrespectful treatment is simply not acceptable and inappropriate in a restaurant like this with such good food. From the beginning, no value was placed on us, the service was already bad, and a friend's meal was even forgotten. I can therefore not recommend this restaurant, especially if you value good service. It's a shame, because the atmosphere was actually quite nice.

Very tasty with a view of the kitchen. Top!

Eating here is always excellent. Especially in the evenings, when there is a lot going on in Bonn. Excellent dishes. Whether it's curry, bowl or sushi, everything tastes high quality and super good. I recommend trying something different every now and then, it always tastes good and you can't really choose anything wrong. The homemade drinks are all really good too. Very talkative and nice staff. Since it can get quite crowded in such a good restaurant, you should always make a reservation, but you can almost always get a seat if you show up.

Sehr leckeres Essen. Die Bedienung war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Außerdem hat mir die Einrichtung sehr gefallen, sowie die offene Küche war beeindruckend.

I have had the pleasure of visiting ZEN Restaurant many times and each time I am amazed. This restaurant not only offers high quality food, but also an atmosphere that invites you to linger and enjoy. The menu is diverse and includes delicacies such as sushi, pho, curries and much more. No matter what we ordered – everything was delicious without exception! You can immediately tell that the cooking here is done with dedication and passion. The quality of the ingredients, the artful preparation and the authentic taste make every dish an experience. A special highlight is the owner. She is an incredibly warm person whose love for good food is infectious. During our visit she came to every table to make sure everything was OK. She wasn't pushy or seemed like she was looking for praise. Quite the opposite: Her authentic way of talking about her passion for preparing the dishes and her openness in giving us an insight into the history and philosophy of the restaurant made the evening something very special. The ambience at ZEN is also a big plus. It is cozy, inviting and yet modern - a place where you immediately feel at home and forget about time. I can highly recommend ZEN to anyone who values ​​excellent food, first-class service and a pleasant atmosphere. This restaurant is a real gem that I always enjoy visiting! Many thanks to the entire ZEN team – you are doing a great job!

Excellent sushi and other dishes. The increased price is absolutely appropriate for this quality class. Very polite and nice staff. I recommend the Gyozo Chicken as a starter. These were almost better than the very good sushi. The cocktails are also delicious

We hebben hier sushi en een curry gegeten en het was beide fantastisch. De atmosfeer is super, de bediening is aardig en het is leuk dat je zo in de keuken kijkt. Ook zijn het royale porties die je krijgt. Dit restaurant is wat ons betreft een absolute aanrader.

We spontaneously went there for lunch with our boys and everyone was absolutely thrilled. The eye is definitely eating here! From Vietnamese starter rolls to poke bowls and classic sushi, everything was delicious and elaborately prepared! We'll definitely be back.

2 Stars just because it is so expensive! We shared around 4 rolls of vegetarian sushi and 2 Maki rolls and payed 90€!! Without Alkohol, just two sodas. The sushi is fresh and tastes good but isn’t special at all, just the same 5 veggies in different combinations. I can’t understand the price for what you‘re getting 🥲 for almost 20€ per roll I expect something really special and not just basic combinations

Thanks for the great evening. The food was not only extremely good, but also very nicely prepared. As the saying goes, the eye eats too ;)

Menu is changed and improved as well as the service😃 I love this place

It was really tasty 👌👌 and it was my first time eating sushi, but I will come back to this restaurant often 😘😘

The best sushi my partner and I have ever eaten. Very nice service, you can't pay by card. Dogs are welcome and the prices are really decent.

Super tasty sushi - price performance is definitely right here!

There were two of us and we ordered 5 gyoza with chicken and sesame sauce, sweet potato fries with sour cream, a 55 euro sushi plate and a rice noodle bowl with chicken (bun). Costs €96 The menu has several white sheets of paper waiting for it. where you had to muddle through. No pictures so you must already be familiar with types of sushi. Have a look at the pictures from their website. so that we even knew what we were ordering. The gyoza were ok, but with the fries a few pieces of fries were still cold and hard and not fully frozen and the sourcream was just sour cream. The sushi platter looked great and the fish was fresh. More choice of sushi would have been nice, but whatever. (Mostly with cucumber avocado, fish stuffed and fried sushi with mayo - no cream cheese) Pasta bowl was ok again. Conclusion: menu outdated and no pictures We would have hoped for more for the price and the food was just ok. Service was nice and friendly. And for those who want to take a great food photo, the perfect place.

Attentive people, very good food!

Food: 8.7/10 Food is really great, you can't complain no matter what you eat I just find the price-performance ratio to be a bit too expensive Service: 10/10 Ambience: 10/10

Not only is the ambience cool, the dishes are visually stunning and the amazing thing is that the quality is really good. Compared to all the kebabs around, this restaurant really stands out in every respect and is a fixed star in Bonn.

—-Wouldn’t order sushi there.—- Was there on Saturday around 3 p.m. I ordered salmon avocado and tuna avocado inside out. Tuna wasn't of good quality, but what was worse was that the sushi was completely covered in artificial roe. Had to laboriously remove everything before I could eat it. Unfortunately I was blinded by the good reviews. It may be that people who don't eat a lot of sushi think it's good, but if you have any idea, you shouldn't order sushi there. Please send your chefs to a proper sushi workshop.

Food was good, nice sushi, big portion for the lunch menu, however, when going to pay, everything under 30euro is cash only. This is 2024! I am not carrying cash. Had to go to the bank next door and be charged 5€ to take out cash to pay. I‘ll not come back again.

Everything was Perfect. Excellent Food and beautiful Ambiente

Sorry Zen - wir fanden euch 2022/23 & bis zum Frühjahr 2024 immer ok, aber was ist denn jetzt los!? - 17.Okt.2024 : Die Speisekarte. Schmutzigste abgegriffene/verbrauchte/verknüllte/äußerst unappetitliche billigste Papierseiten mit alten Essens-Flecken, abgestandenen Soßen-Resten. Einfach widerlich! Wir haben uns geekelt! Kein Anti-Krätzen-Spray zur Hand. Sind Unmittelbar aufgestanden und wieder gegangen!

I ordered a chicken teriyaki. Not recommended without love and taste. That was the last time

The sushi is highly recommended, high quality and not overpriced and the staff are very friendly! In addition, the ambience is appealing and we found it particularly pleasant that guests were able to take a look into the kitchen.

We recently had dinner there with four people. The tables are very large and have benches. There are cozier options BUT it fits perfectly with the charm and style of the restaurant. The food was great, really tasty, definitely recommended. We mainly ate sushi and the awesome coconut cream soup with chicken. The service was quick and extremely friendly. We are already looking forward to the next visit.

You just can 😊 It was great again, with everything that went with it. There were twelve of us and everyone enjoyed it. Thank you and see you soon

The sushi was really great! There was a large selection of different varieties and the staff was very friendly. I had a great experience and can only recommend it!

Excellent compared to the price

The food was delicious. Both the starter and the dessert. The service was also very good and clearly friendly! I would deduct a very small point. I didn't like the music that much. It was quite loud and didn't fit the ambience. Otherwise, always happy. ☺️

Both the sushi and sashimi were very good, great presentation, friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. The cocktails were also very tasty and beautifully presented. There is a large selection of dishes and we were very satisfied.

I visited this sushi bar in August, and it was a fantastic experience! The atmosphere was cozy, with a beautiful interior design. The staff were friendly and spoke English. The sushi was incredibly delicious. I can’t wait to come back for another visit! You can adjust it if you'd like more details added!

“Red Curry” was recommended to me by an employee. I actually enjoyed it! I made a mess but went home full and happy!

Great homemade drinks and beautifully decorated dishes. The mango sauce was very creamy and aromatic.

The service was friendly and the place doesn't have much character but is stylish. I ordered sushi to take away, but when I unpacked it I couldn't believe my eyes. Most of the makis were open on one side and the fish-rice ratio was really zero for many parts. Totally thick, tough chunks of fish. I've had better rice and it wasn't all that cheap. I could have done it better myself. Well, I take it with humor. Quote from a friend: “Was the sushi chef drunk?” hahaha. It's a shame I only saw the whole thing at home. Don't know if there will be another one anytime soon...

Good food but service is slow. That's why the evening drags on. Too bad. :(

Very nice staff. A clean kitchen and very tasty food. If you ask, you will also be informed about gluten-free options and the waitresses will also be in the know. Overall, a very great and, above all, delicious visit. :D

The food is tasty and sufficiently portioned. I find the atmosphere unique in Bonn. Probably my favorite sushi restaurant!

Just perfect, haven't been that happy with food, service and location in a while! Sushi amazing, even the wasabi high quality. Quite a good variation. Not cheap, but justified for what you get!
