Food was fresh and well presented. Service was mediocre. We had to ask for more water 3 times. Prices were high.

We went to Zentarou to celebrate my husband’s birthday with the family. We ordered an appetizer, soup, the omakase, a couple rolls and a salad. Everything was delicious and fresh. Our 8 year old even tried raw fish for the first time and enjoyed it! Service was great as well. The sake menu is pretty extensive which included cocktails made with sake. We can’t wait to go back and try more from the menu.

Owned and run by a former server at Saru, this is THE place to go to. The food is amazing, the ambiance lovely & the service really good. The restaurant is just the right size to feel cozy, friendly and approachable. We can’t wait to go back!

Repeat customers back for another amazing experience. Service was great, they were very understanding of our nephew who needed a little TLC. Fish and food was awesome, menu expansive-- vegetarian in our party ate well. They even lined up a sake flight tasting for us! Neighborhood gem, highly recommended-- we'll be back thank you again!

Absolutely marvelous culinary experience. The menu is comprehensive, serving unique dishes that are otherwise uncommon to find at most sushi restaurants. The service was excellent; Twan, our server, was very knowledgeable of each dish and was attentive to detail and considerate with dietary restrictions and allergens. The chefs prepared the dishes masterfully with great technique and detail. I will absolutely be returning.

Absolutely delicious sushi including beautiful presentation! On the pricier side but well worth it. My 9-piece included 9 different items as opposed to some places that repeat.

Wow. We have had omikase in the best SF restaurants and this is our new favorite. On a rainy night it was tempting to stay in Sausalito and go to our standby Sushi Ran, but so glad we made the drive. Zentarou reminds me of Sushi Ran in its early days: surprising touches, impeccable fish, and stellar service. At bargain (compared to other top places) prices.
