Zenbi - Sushi & Asian Cuisine in Mainz

Very great restaurant. Great atmosphere and nice staff. The food is incredibly tasty and the price-performance ratio is also great. Given the large portion, I was even able to take some home with me. I can recommend it to everyone. Card payment is possible from a certain amount, I think around €30.

super tasty, nice and cozy atmosphere and really delicious food! always happy 😁

The food was delicious, but the long waiting times and misunderstandings when ordering spoiled the impression. In addition, the menu is designed in a misleading way, which leads to incorrect price expectations. An example: The starter platter appears to cost €7.20 according to the menu, but is stated below as €14.50. When asked, there was no clear explanation, but rather an evasion by saying that the card was “unfortunately worded” and that this would “normally” be pointed out. The impatient and annoyed tone of the waitress increased the unpleasant feeling. As compensation, it was agreed at the end that the drink would be taken over by the house.

The young man in service gives little importance to customer satisfaction. When doing the billing, 7.20 for a starter plate (see menu) suddenly became 14.50. When I asked the young man about it, he showed no insight and tried in vain and annoyed to explain how the prices on the menu fit together. After a lengthy discussion, he agreed to accommodate us. The young lady who was also there had a strong sense of hospitality and even decorated the table for us for the group photo.

I can recommend everyone to come eat here 🤗🤗 It tastes really, really good 👍 This is the tastiest Asian food I've ever eaten 🥰🙈 The dish is truly prepared with passion and made with love. Thank you for such a great dish ♥️😊 Ps I not only had sushi, but also burnt rice 💕

It was really incredibly delicious!! Price performance unbeatable. I can only recommend the sushi and the homemade lemonade to everyone. Always worth a visit.

The best sushi area in Mainz!!!

Great restaurant. Very cozy feeling. Food and drink delicious. Service very friendly and location very central. Gladly again :))

Small, cozy, very nice and competent service. Tastes very, very good!

Unfortunately it's gone down a lot...we've been there regularly since it opened, but on the last visit the portions were unfortunately only half as big, the makis are okay, but unfortunately the quality and size of the more expensive special rolls have dropped. We ordered 5 large rolls and still didn't get full. We used to get really fed up with 4 rolls. For the price you pay, around 35 euros per person, the amount should fill you up. I would be very happy if you could take this to heart. The rolls can easily be 1 euro more expensive, I wouldn't say anything about that, but please offer the usual quality again, in my opinion you were the best sushi restaurant in Mainz. :)

I went in and I found a very nice and cosy place with extremely nice waitress and the service was superb. Chardonnay has been well tempered and tasted like fresh fruit. The dish I ordered was with rice, curry/peanut sauce and salmon. I must say that the quality of the food was much higher then the price, compared with other restaurants.

Thank you! I've been coming to Zenbi regularly for some time and have never been disappointed. The dishes are all great, from curry to sushi. An excellent selection of wines rounds off the meal. The service is friendly, very attentive and there immediately when you need something. Thanks and see you next time! :)

DISAPPOINTING I didn't read the reviews beforehand. I wouldn't come here a second time and unfortunately I can't recommend it.

We were guests at Zenbi on a Friday evening. Ambiance is more like a pub, so not a cozy restaurant feeling. The taste of the food was good, but it was also a bit expensive. Unfortunately, semi-dry wine and mocchi ice cream were sold out that evening??? All in all okay, but nothing special!

Absolutely fantastic Asian restaurant. We had two starters and one each of sushi and the peanut curry with chicken. I have rarely eaten such fresh and delicious sushi as I did here, and it was really big sushi. The curry was also damn tasty and a really decent portion. We also drank two homemade lemonades, both of which were very tasty and not a sweet mush. The price is absolutely reasonable, others take the same money for much, much less on the plate.

We had a lovely evening with delicious food and great service at Zenbi. Absolutely recommended!

Can definitely recommend the Thai curry with the crispy chicken, very crispy and well seasoned. There is a good selection of food and drinks. It was a bit cold inside, but that could also be due to the time of year.

We struggled a bit to find it but when we did, we felt welcome but this cozy Asian atmosphere. The menu looked good and we ordered passion fruit iced tea which was also really good. We had the “freestyle Zenbi” sushi, and boy it was really satisfying and fulfilling. We ended things with a Molten Lavacake that was the cherry on top. It was small but really delicious. It took them a while to bring it out, but I could understand because all the ingredients are fresh and high quality (pay attention to the wasabi and ginger)

We had a wonderful evening in our new sushi restaurant in Mainz. We'd love to come back.

Fast and friendly service in a nice atmosphere. The food was freshly prepared and very tasty. The restaurant is absolutely recommended.

So before the visit I had never tried sushi and to be honest I was a bit reserved. This restaurant taught me better... I don't know how to describe it... taste fireworks... a new passion... overwhelming and inspiring at the same time... I'll be back! So a clear recommendation, even for beginners ;0)))

Even if we mourn the "woodpecker" and the Christmas goose: the sushi was delicious, the service was friendly and we were completely satisfied. Only the Woistubb atmosphere doesn't really fit, but you can get over that.

Very nice and quiet atmosphere. Food is great too! Unfortunately we had to wait almost 70 minutes for our sushi platter.

We received a very warm welcome and ate really well. The service was very friendly and responded to our needs. I can really recommend it 👍

Super friendly staff, great location, fantastic food.

Top food and top service. Highly recommended!

There were four of us here and we absolutely loved it. The sushi and the other dishes we ordered were delicious, the service was very friendly and the atmosphere was also very nice. I don't understand why this beautiful restaurant was so poorly attended. Maybe it's too hidden or too much competition? In any case, we felt very comfortable and can only warmly recommend it!

Well, value for money leaves a lot to be desired. In Paris I get much better sushi for the same price and feel fuller too. What we got here is more like the "everyday sushi shops" for quick hunger, but here you can expect much cheaper prices. Ordering and preparing the food took forever. Two stars for the beautiful terrace. I have no idea why the restaurant has such a good rating.

Sushi is super delicious. Top service too! We'd love to come back.

I had an amazing dinner at Zenbi yesterday! The sushi was incredibly fresh, with each piece perfectly crafted. The flavors were vibrant, and the presentation was beautiful. The staff was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. If you're looking for top-notch sushi, this place is a must-visit! I am on my summer Vacation here and was craving some Sushi, and was scared that I wouldn’t find a good Sushi restaurant, but i had one of the best Sushi in Mainz. It was worth it :)

Don't trust the influencers!!!!Disaster, there were three of us there and sent back half of our order because it wasn't edible: raw, too salty, wrong order...! All three went home with the worst stomach pain. Not recommended!

Friendly staff, good food, I would recommend Pho with beef and Sushi here is really fresh, rice in Sushi tastes really nice. Enjoying your summer evening here with a view of the Mainz Cathedral is a significant expericence. I would definitely come back!!!

The pho was so salty it was like drinking sea water. Chicken and salmon not cooked through. Never again !

I love coming here when I visit home especially during summer using the outdoor seating and having a fabulous view onto the cathedral. The service is great and friendly and the food good. I appreciate the large portions and the ingredients are super fresh. It would be amazing to add a vegan curry on the menu in addition to dishes like the rice noodle bowl and sushi. I’m definitely coming back

Fantastic place in a very cozy corner place right next to the mainz cathedral very nice atmosphere with a super service and a fantastic good food 10 out of 10 really highly recommend this place ^^

22.50 euro not worth it. Very deceiving. I order a papaya salad with shrimp at 10.50 euros no papaya. And chicken skewer You expect a bowl of salad instead it was a tiny plate of soaking tasteless cabbage & sprout peanut were soaking in this tasteless liquid and of course the 3 shrimps were soaking as well. The quality of the shrimp was not fresh. horrible. 2 other german customers had a huge bowl of salad at 10.50 I expected to received the same thing. This was horrible. Laughing at customer. Big joke I was hungry and tired... Waiter did not come back to check on me until I finish. The chicken skewers were ok for the price the taste was very blend but ok. peanut sauce was ok. Nohing to rave about. The draft beer was not serve in a chill buck. Over all Mainz should stick to german food. All you see is asian restaurant all over Mainz you expect to be good not to get screwed. I waited so long for the sauce I was trying to get your attention regarding the soaking salad but you rather set up table and not be up front to the need of your customers. Even yourself got surprised to see how much liquid was left on that plate. I know what I got I know what I ate and I live half my life in Asia! Stop being rude to your customer and keep your baby plate to yourself.

Chicken with curry sauce and a bomb 🤤

Super tasty and fresh food. Will definitely eat there again 🙏🏻

Super good food and the service is excellent. Great view, view of the cathedral.

Really very tasty, super nice service. They responded really well to our special requests :)

In the middle of the city, a clear view of the cathedral, somewhat hidden. We received a very friendly welcome and our questions were well explained, great in-house lemonades, great food, and very fair prices for this location. We will be back !!

Good staff Good food very tasty All friendly

Everyone who loves shushi must have eaten there at least once. As is well known, the eye is . And it is a feast for the eyes and the palate. Always happy. Price-performance ratio is simply great. It is incredibly tasty, fresh and hygienic. A deserved 10/10. We drove there from Offenbach and it was very worth it.

Very good service and delicious food. I can only recommend

Very nice decor and a generally pleasant atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, the food also tasted great and was in a reasonable portion. I would definitely come here again.👍

Tasted delicious. The selection of dishes is varied and also particularly pleasing to the eye. Service very accommodating. That wasn't our last visit. Thanks

A very calm and relaxed atmosphere. The food, especially sushi, tastes incredible!

Very nice service, Pho was great, sushi too and the atmosphere there is also very nice. I come every week!

The food is fantastic! Was there with my friend and we were 100% satisfied. Staff very friendly. Definitely recommended! 10/10

Best Asian food outside Asian countries.

Best Pho in Mainz and everything else was super delicious too :)

Food very fresh and tasty, service very attentive and friendly!

There are currently a lot of Indo-Chinese-Vietnamese sushi shops sprouting up - newer shops have to offer a little more to stand out. Unfortunately that wasn't the case here. The food is ok, but not special either. The summer rolls consist of 95% iceberg lettuce and rice noodles and a piece of chicken. The wild herb salad described on the menu for my dish consisted of iceberg lettuce, cucumber and a sprig of coriander. Next to it was a large portion of pure rice noodles and I briefly tasted the lime dressing described on the menu on my tongue. I would have expected more in terms of taste and creativity. It's a shame actually...

Very nice food, service was great. Nice selection of dishes on the menu, and not just sushi :D

Top very good food, high quality, top service

Very tasty sushi eaten here today, absolutely delicious and very nicely served. My husband loved the fried rice with vegetables and beef...

Very nice atmosphere, in summer you can also sit outside. The service was very good, just as you would expect. The food was very tasty, for me the best sushi in the area. Clear recommendation!

Went there late in the evening and were able to order again as a last round before the kitchen closed. We in the group of 6 ate golden snow, crispy rolls, and curry, as well as dumplings, so everything was good so far. There are "complaints at a high level" when it comes to service and the payment methods can also be improved, but despite this you can come back and eat here again at any time without any worries.

It is a very nice and quiet restaurant in a remote location near Mainz Cathedral. The service is friendly and all the dishes were very tasty. Unfortunately there wasn't the tea we wanted, but the great sushi made up for it.

Food ok, nothing more and nothing less; Portions rather small, Service was poor: when we asked for a second helping of rice, our plates were carried into the kitchen and returned shortly afterwards just as empty. A little later we were delivered two portions of rice on a separate plate - and charged extra. We would have liked to have been informed about the calculation beforehand, as one plate would have been enough... Why is only cash payment possible in 2024? After all, it's no longer a problem even at the bakery.

I love the sushi at Zenbi. Favorite role “DragonTail”

Very nice service. The food is okay but not outstanding sushi, but the prices are still moderate. The toilets (men's) don't look appealing (ok maybe not a problem) but they smell very unpleasant and don't look clean overall. You just don't want that in a restaurant. Therefore unfortunately only 3 stars.

The warm dishes are very good. I will gladly come again

We have ordered Crunchy Salmon and Shrimps, Avocado Maki, and California roll. They were all delicious, one of the best in Mainz! The staff are also super friendly. Highly recommended!

Service 10/10 | Food was super tasty 100/10 | The owner was really nice and humorous. Vibe in restaurant is also 10/10.

Although I'm not a sushi fan, I found it to be an extremely tasty meal

I have a bad feeling about my visit. I found the staff a bit unfriendly and unfortunately I felt unwelcome. The food was solid but there is still room for improvement. Overall, I expected something better for the price range.

Just crazy. I've been to many sushi restaurants, but this one has surpassed everything before in terms of taste and appearance. If the quality stays that way, then hats off to you.

Very finely balanced delicious food. We had sushi (S1 DRAGON TAIL), which was cleverly prepared and is a real sushi experience. There was also salmon, peanut curry (No. 4) with rice and crunchy fresh vegetables as well as crispy chicken (No. 2 FLASH FIRE) also with vegetables and Thai curry. All dishes were very tasty, prepared quickly and were accompanied by service from the young manager and his extremely friendly wife. It was a great evening, we would love to come back.

The best sushi restaurant in Mainz! The food is incredibly tasty and very attractively prepared and there is also a great selection for vegetarians. The ambience is beautiful and the service is very attentive and friendly. I'm already looking forward to my next visit to discover and enjoy more culinary highlights from the diverse menu!

Great food! Recommend the freestyle. Cash only.

Were there yesterday for a birthday dinner. My daughter chose this restaurant with my better half and surprised me. The ala carte offering is large and for someone who only knows sushi from the conveyor belt, it's almost overwhelming. What we chose was very, very tasty. Even for non-sushi eaters there were noodle or rice dishes that were very tasty. Even if one wasn't what was ordered. It was so delicious that you didn't waste any thought on the correctness of the dish. There is only one star deducted for the ambience, which looks more like a rustic pub, and the service. The restaurant was far from full, but it took a long time (also to reorder). But you can still recommend “Zenbi”!!

Everything fits here. Absolute recommendation 👍

Great atmosphere, but I went there three times during my stay. The freestyle has gained legendary status with me and my coworkers. One of my favorite sushi places.

Very tasty food and friendly service

Insanely delicious sushi and the plates are beautifully prepared. The service is great and in a good mood and the atmosphere is very, very pleasant. I've been here three times so far and would like to try the other dishes, but I always get stuck on the sushi because it's just so good. Only cash payment is possible - you may need to know that.

I celebrated my birthday at Zenbi Restaurant and was more than satisfied. Be it the service, the food or the friendliness. I can recommend this restaurant to everyone.

Fresh food, great ambience, great service. I'd love to come back!

The food was very tasty, good portions and polite service. Overall, very nice time here!

Food really wasn't great. The toilet had no toilet paper and smelled a bit. It's a shame, I thought I could expect more from the rating.

Great food and very friendly service. Again any time.

Very nice restaurant in the middle of Mainz city center. A nice selection of different sushi dishes (among others). In summer you can also eat outside. The food tasted very good to all of us (6 people) and came quickly.

Cash only, food good and good selection. very friendly staff

Good sushi! The other one was also very tasty and worth the price! Hope you make the wooden blinds in the back dining room :-)

Had sushi and vegetables/rice with tofu. Both great, very friendly staff. Can definitely keep up with the well-known sushi restaurants. Absolutely great.

Sehr leckeres Essen, stilvolles Ambiente, freundlicher Service – wenn auch zu Hauptzeit etwas unterbesetzt. Komme gerne wieder.

Ist okay. Nichts besonderes. Innen sieht's eher aus wie eine Kneipe. Für das Essen etwas überteuert aber im großen und ganzen ist es okay.

One of the best sushi / asian food venue in Mainz

Sehr authentischer asiatischer Laden. Das Sushi war hervorragend und die warmen Speisen frische zubereitet. Leider ist der Laden Montags geschlossen sonst würde ich auch da zur Mittagspause kommen. Kann ich nur weiter empfehlen.

Great place and owner. The food is fresh and the waiter very nice. The decoration is super nice too. I highly recommend it.

Sehr lecker! Schneller und freundlicher Service. Wir kommen gerne wieder :-)

Geniales leckeres Sushi und sehr freundlicher Service. Beim Ambiente ist noch Luft nach oben. Zu dunkel gehalten.

Richtig gutes Essen und sehr gute Bedienung. Top Laden Auf jeden Fall zum weiterempfehlen

Ich hatte kürzlich das Vergnügen, asiatisches Essen bei zenbi mainz zu genießen, und ich bin restlos begeistert. Die vielfältige Auswahl an Gerichten aus verschiedenen asiatischen Ländern hat mich beeindruckt. Die Qualität der Zutaten war erstklassig, und die Zubereitung zeugte von handwerklichem Können. Besonders hervorzuheben sind die frischen Sushi-Rollen, die regelrecht auf der Zunge zergingen. Die Aromen in den Wok-Gerichten waren ebenso ein Genuss, und die Balance der Gewürze war perfekt getroffen. Der Service war aufmerksam und freundlich, was den Besuch noch angenehmer gestaltete. Das Ambiente des Restaurants war ebenfalls stimmungsvoll, was zu einem rundum gelungenen Erlebnis beitrug. Insgesamt war es ein kulinarisches Abenteuer, das ich jedem empfehlen kann, der asiatisches Essen liebt. Dieses Restaurant ist definitiv eine Bereicherung für die lokale Gastronomieszene.

Ein kleines, gemütliches Restaurant mit sehr leckerem Essen und nettem Personal.

Alles super immer wieder gerne :) kann man nur empfehlen

War sehr lecker sehr Empfehlenswert:)

Delicious food, well presented, and fast service. I strongly recommend the salmon tartar. Unique. The place is super close to the main church and it has in and outside tables.

Das Essen war einfach der Hammer. Oft Sushi gegessen, aber selten soo gut! Auch das Lachstatar ist nur zu empfehlen.

Amazing presentation and the taste was spectacular!!
