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 Bar in the City 3/31/2004

...if not the country. Roger, the sushi chef, serves up the best cuts of fish in town, as well as creating the most decadent sushi rolls I've ever eaten. I live around the corner and have brought over 20 different people there...all have echoed my sentiments. Still figuring out how many times I have to eat there to get a roll named after me... Pros: Good value, Great service more

Not authentic? Who cares! 2/25/2004

I've come to love Zushi Puzzle! My Japanese upbringing has made me a stickler about keeping Japanese food traditional, but this is the first time I just don't care. The Puzzle Large nigiri sushi and price are amazing, and all the special rolls are unique and tasty. Roger is definitely an artist. His combinations are new and definitely deviate from standard sushi, but are always delicious. So far all the non-sushi items Ive tried (Gomaae, Agedashi Tofu, Sukiyaki, and Nabeyaki Udon) have all been different, but only the latter two noodle dishes have disappointed. Regardless, my recommendation is to go for the SUSHI lovin and save the cooked stuff for another place! So far, all three times that Ive gone there hasnt been a crowd, so please support Roger! He might not be Japanese, but he sure knows sushi. Pros: SUSHI, Friendly Cons: , Non-traditional, Cheesy Decor more

Top 5 4/19/2003

Honestly Zushi Puzzle's sushi is better than Sushi Groove's, and rivals Ebisu. I can't believe more people don't know about this place yet! Even better, they have friendly, attentive & accomodating service, and a family-like feel since everyone knows who Roger, the sushi chef in the aloha shirt, is. An overall winner. Modestly priced too. more
