Some of the freshest (and most affordable!) sushi in the bay area sit at sushi counter to be treated like seafood royalty

Worst

I grew up in Japan and the sushi here was like the "fast food" or "deli" sushi found in local supermarkets - edible, but average at best. The quality of the fish here was mediocr...

Best Sushi Ever 7/30/2005

I've always loved sushi and have been to numerous places in the city. I just went to Zushi Puzzle last night and it has got to be the best sushi I've ever tasted. The fish is fresh and everything just melts in your mouth, like butter. I would highly recommend the Romeo & Juliet and also the Armadillo Roll. The wait for the food to come out was a bit long, but definitely well worth it. Pros: Excellent Sushi Cons: Parking more

A Cut Above The Rest 7/26/2005

There is no denying that Roger serves the freshest and finest sushi in the Bay Area. Our whole family unanimously agrees to go here every time we go out to have sushi. Yeah, we have tried several of the other highly rated sushi places in the Bay Area, but nowhere is there finer sushi and specialty rolls than here. Once you have tried it, you will be looking forward to going back again and again...as does my family and I. Pros: sushi, service, atmosphere more

Roger Rocks! The Most Creative Sushi Chef in SF! 7/24/2005

Roger is hands down the most talented sushi chef I've ever encountered. I have been to Zushi Puzzle four times in the last three months, and he continues to surprise me. His rolls are delicious and creative, and if the live scallops are available, they are a MUST! :) Pros: Roger, Sushi Bar, Fresh Fish more

Best Sushi Ever! 7/20/2005

Zushi Puzzle has the most fresh, best tasting sushi. Since eating there, I have a hard time trying new places. The butterfish is unbelieveable, and their rolls are original and delicious. Make a reservation for sure, and sit at the bar if there are just a few of you. Pros: sushi, service, value more

Sit at the Sushi Bar 6/17/2005

We sat at the sushi bar and Roger the sushi chef took care of us, even though it was our first time there. Do try the butterfish, it's heavenly. He'd give us different things to try and we even got free dessert and saki. The whole staff spoke Cantonese there, but Roger is truely a master sushi chef. We noticed the sous-chef making dishes for take out and the tables in the restaurant. So, sit in the sushi bar. Oddly enough, pictures on the restaurant walls have only Caucasian patrons in them and no Asians. Pros: butterfish, sushi bar, Roger Cons: parking, restaurant seating more

Uni lovers unite! Order the Maika roll! 6/16/2005

I was a total skeptic going to Zushi Puzzle... I mean, I already *had* a favorite sushi place across town, but I went and I was BLOWN AWAY. The fish is so fresh, Roger gets the best, most interesting varieties from around the world... Butterfish, flying fish, Japanese Uni (sooo sweet), and the Live scallop are to die for. His presentation is amazing and he even serves fresh wasabi. If you like uni, be sure to try the Maika roll - uni, eel, and a quail egg to top it off! So good! more

Good harmony in flavors 6/2/2005

I've tried the romeo and juliet, dynasty spider, and dragon roll. Those three were made in a very good combination of flavors. It was such a harmony melted in my mouth (so iron chef's commentary). The presentation of the rolls/sushi is a work of art. It's worth it, although the prices are bit too expensive. You should try the beef short ribs and the agedashi tofu too. They're so yummy. The service was okay, and the food comes pretty fast. more

BEST SUSHI IN TOWN...OR ANYWHERE 6/1/2005

The sushi melts in your mouth and the service is excellent. The staff is very friendly and efficient. ROGER, the sushi chef, knows all the regular customers and makes everyone feel right at home after your first dining experience. All you need to do is put your faith in Roger and he will serve the best fish you have ever had. Since eating at Zushi Puzzle about a year ago, I will not eat sushi anywhere else. My boyfriend and I went somewhere else once (which will remain nameless) and we couldn't even eat it after having Roger's amazing creations. His fish is fresh, his rolls are original and his personality is delightful. The best sushi place in the worls! more

I also really like the live scallops and butter fish. but the Yum yum roll had the butter fish and scallops and avacado with a little spicy sauce. it was GREAT!!!! I would get two. more
