You can eat Temakis in all over the world, but just in Zen, you can taste the Originais Temakis made of the typical Brazilian Flavor, go and get the Temakis made of the typical fruits of Northeast, you will not regret.

And since sushi is a food that has a lot of uncooked meat, it's important that you have a clean place and healthy food. On the other hand, it's a small place and... More

Definitely a good place to go with friends. Is the best all you can eat japanese restaurant in town. Keep in mind that you might have to wait a while for a table and if you decide to go there in a weekend dinner after 7pm.

It is a place to enjoy quality japanese food with... More

Totally lacking in atmosphere, sleepy service, food that should be sent back to the kitchen - but they can't do any better so what's the point.

Zen Recife. Some flavors are unique, and when you’re talking about sushi, every exception is a specialty. That’s basically the philosophy of Zen. Known as one of the best restaurants in northern Recife, PE, Brazil. Like every sushi restaurant, Zen has some dishes which will only be found in that restaurant: If you like spicy food, you could order the... More

Zen is a great restaurant for people who want to eat delicious food in a very beautiful and well-decorated ambience. There, you can try different tastes of sushi, because one of the main characteristic of the restaurant is the continuous creation of the menu. So, you can go there a day and eat things that you didn't eat days ago.... More
