2013 Center City Restaurant Week @ Zento Contemporary Japanese Cuisine

Zento Contemporary Japanese Cuisine is one of the best sushi restaurants in Philadelphia! Of course, this is just my opinion on this topic. So, why am I so hooked on this place? Because they're not cheap when it comes to their sushi fillings and the taste is just magical! For an example, my favorite sushi roll is the spicy salmon roll. Surprisingly, this is not a roll that is served in many of the sushi restaurants in Philadelphia. So Zento already gets a star for just having it. Again, this is my opinion. But what makes their spicy salmon roll so special to me is the huge chunks of salmon pieces they put in it! They don't grind it up into a paste like some places I've been too and they don't skimp on the star of the dish. I fall in love with it every time I take a bite!

As I mentioned in my previous posts, restaurant week is a great time for anyone to go out and try new restaurants. I went on a Saturday night with some family members and I didn't expect them to be serving the restaurant week $35 dinner set because according to the Center City Restaurant week website, this event was only happening from Sunday to Friday for two weeks with both Saturdays excluded. So I was lucky to be able to try it! Below you'll find out what I ordered for my dinner meal at Zento during restaurant week.
