What people say

A quiet room that people keep calling underrated.

SushiYa Zen is a small Japanese kitchen on Princess Street, with a Korean section on the same menu. About four tables fill the room. The light is low, the pace follows, and reviewers describe the effect as calm, which is not the usual note for a block this busy.

Public reviews read in July 2026 repeat a few things without being asked: the fish is fresh, the portions land fairly against the bill, and the people working the room are friendly. Some of those reviews are written in Japanese, and they read the kitchen as the real thing. The phrase people reach for in English is hidden gem, often enough that it counts as a theme rather than a compliment. Ratings differ from one platform to the next, so none are shown here.
