The atmosphere was steller, the food was average, and the service was below average. The area and the dining atmosphere are beautiful. It's a very romantic area of town with a massive walk-score. Food left a bit to be desired. The lamb was tough, the oysters were flavorless, and the roman was mid; however, the beer was cold, and the sake was hot. Service lacked any attention to detail, and non-alcoholic drinks were left empty most of the meal, and we needed to ask for things several times before they were provided. Overall, for the price, there is much better sushi in the area. Great for drinks and maybe an app at the bar.

Zest Sushi and Small Plates is average at best, a far cry from high quality Japanese fare. From a strict culinary perspective, Zest deserves 2 stars, in my opinion. But when you factor in the affordable price tag and amiable service, 3 stars is more like it. Here is what we ate, in order of preference: Kiss of Death Roll (A-): Very flavorful, although not spicy at all Polynesian Pork Belly (B+): Nice seasoning, although we’ve had much better Mocktail – Mint Mule (B+): Very refreshing Butter Garlic Oysters (B): Decent Tempura Veggie (C+): Too soft, almost soggy Fish & Chips (C-): The fries were very good, but the fish was terrible (insipid, soggy) Tuna Nigiri (D+): I’ve had better grocery store nigiri Salmon Poke Crunch (D): Just bad poke. No flavor whatsoever Mocktail – Lychee Limeade (D-): Just no flavor, utterly forgettable Gyoza Dumplings (F): The worst gyozas ever. Limp and soggy On the positive side, we only spent $118 for a 3-person meal, before tipping (2 mocktails, water, 7 small plates, 1 larger entrée, no alcohol). We won’t be returning to Zest Sushi.

Fantastic Chinese food! Perfect portions, perfectly flavored. I highly recommend the “Buddhist Delight” (tofu, vegetables, and rice)—I have had this dish many times at a variety of Chinese restaurants, and No. 1 China Garden consistently makes some of the very best! Their Singapore Mei Fun is also excellent, and so is their Kung Pao Chicken. Sometimes this restaurant is “take out only,” but most of the time you can dine in if you prefer. The atmosphere is minimalist and perhaps a bit mismatched, but clean and comfortable. I highly recommend this restaurant—be sure to try it if you are in the area!!

We ordered our food then drove around for about an hour and the food was still hot and fresh when we got home. It's the only Chinese place we can eat without getting sick. Highly recommend if in the area. Everything is made to order

I placed an order for me and my two coworkers. When I arrived back to my work after picking up the food, I noticed there was a maggot or worm looking thing in my broccoli. You are supposed to wash veggies before placing them into someone’s order, that could have made me very sick if I would have taken a bite. ( I drove back to the place) and I never like to complain about things at restaurants but to top it off, when I showed them the food, one of the workers said “all I see is a broccoli stem” and the lady was very rude when it came time to give me a refund. I was very polite with the staff, given the circumstance. This is my first and last time ordering from here. Note: you can clearly see the worm thing sitting on the broccoli stem.

Food is always great but the girl they have answering the phone was very rude when I asked for delivery and told me that if I want delivery I have to order through DoorDash? Since when does china king not deliver?
