Went to Zen Jap Restaurant in West Van with the GF because of the groupon promo for $12 for $25 worth (I still have another one if you're interested)

Honestly the food standards overall are pretty high, the prices are just ridiculous though, honestly felt sorry for the place, they had more employees than customers and I think 90% of it is the price. $15 for specialty rolls is steep. Our dinner pre groupon and tips was around $70 and we were still hungry.

Specialty Rolls:

Speckled Scallop Roll, wrapped with soy and had a nice bit of wasabi in it, I'd give it a 9/10, interesting flavours for sure


Kisu Roll, basically a bit of deep fried fish on a mango/cream cheese roll
7/10 decent but nothing too special


Hamachi Peak, kind of like a negitoro with a tempura outer layer, nice textures and balance of flavours 8/10


Popcorn Halibut, meh it's what you expect, fried fish with a zesty sauce 6/10


Shrooms 7/10 only because I love mushrooms, honestly nothing you couldn't whip up at home with a few minutes of prep, they are just that lol for ~$10 I'd skip it
