Quick info
About Sushi Zento Muswell Hill
Sushi Zento Muswell Hill is a sushi restaurant in London, at 476 Muswell Hill Broadway, with a menu that reaches well beyond rolls. Sushi and sashimi sit alongside ramen, bento boxes and curry, so one order can mix raw fish with hot dishes. The ramen comes with pork, and the bento boxes include an eel (unagi) version for anyone who wants a boxed meal with a single main. Dessert is mochi ice cream, with strawberry among the flavours. The kitchen also sends out gyoza and miso soup as sides to the larger plates. Tables can be reserved, and bar seating gives a second way to sit down.

Customer Review Summary
Fresh sushi and rolls anchor most of the praise, with reviewers singling out tuna, salmon and ikura, a sashimi boat, and the spider and green dragon rolls. Close behind are the pork ramen with its rich broth, noodles described as spot on, and tempura that is crunchy outside and moist inside. Gyoza, curry and miso soup also get mentions, and staff are repeatedly called friendly and polite. The criticism centers on consistency. One diner found the unagi bento and the seafood tempura bento completely tasteless. Another noted sushi that arrived a little warm, as if left under the serving lamps. A Valentine's Day visit meant a very slow kitchen and a long wait, with no acknowledgement from the waiter. On a return visit, one reviewer was given mayonnaise in place of cream cheese in the asparagus California rolls without being told beforehand. Dessert drew praise for strawberry mochi ice cream with strawberry bits inside.

“Absolutely love Sushi Zento! The food is consistently excellent and feels very authentic. Their ramen is amazing, the curry is full of flavour, and the gyoza are some of the best I’ve had. Everything always tastes fresh and well prepared, and the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming every time we visit. It’s one of those places you’re always happy to come back to. Highly recommended if you’re looking for delicious, authentic Japanese food and great service!”

“This restaurant is amazing, a hidden gem. Definitely among the best Japanese restaurants I’ve eaten. Quality was exceptional, had a bento box and a couple of nigiri. The best miso soup I’ve had, it had so much taste. We were served by a very kind man who seems to be the owner. Would 100% recommend it, I’ll definitely come back to try the sushi and the ramen.”

“Today Had a really enjoyable meal at Sushi Zento in Muswell Hill today. Everything we ordered was fresh, beautifully presented and full of flavour. The sushi selection was excellent, especially the salmon, tuna and ikura. The sushi rice was nicely seasoned and the fish tasted fresh. The sushi rolls were also very tasty, with a good balance of textures and sauces. The pork ramen was another highlight — rich, flavourful broth with nicely grilled pork on top. The combination worked surprisingly well. We also tried the fried dishes and tempura, which were crispy on the outside without being overly greasy. Everything came out looking appetising and well presented. Overall, a very satisfying Japanese meal. Good quality, generous portions and great presentation. Definitely a place I would come back to and would happily recommend to anyone looking for good Japanese food around Muswell Hill.”

“This is my go to restaurant in Muswell Hill. My husband and I come here once a week. The food is delicious and the waiter and waitress are very friendly. I’d highly recommend!”

“I went in as a solo diner and was told to sit at the bar despite there being lots of empty tables. They said they’d all been booked. I reasoned this was fair considering I didn’t have a reservation. However, after a while, 2 people came in and I heard the waitress say she had a table for them. When she saw me look over, she quickly picked up the reservation pad/notebook and pretended to scribble out a name that already had a scribble on it from before. She basically made it look like they had reservations rather than walk-ins. I think saving tables for 2 or more people is discriminative against solo diners, however if you’re trying to make more money, fine. Just don’t lie. It is so classless. I used to come a lot and always left a good tip. Needless to say, I will never return. Midori is better, anyway.”
