Shizen - Vianen

It's an All You Can Eat sushi establishment. It is always advised to proceed with caution. The last couple experiences we had with new sushi restaurants was quite mediocre, so we were a big anxious to step into this one. It was said to have the best sushi in Utrecht, so we had to check it out. Like many, it's a large restaurant. In the middle of the restaurant, the seating is a little uncomfortable, but at the sides of the restaurant and on the top floor, it's provides a little more shelter, which I like for a cozy night out. Service was quick and friendly. We ordered the deluxe menu (incl. sashimi and other specials for just 5 euro p.p. more) and ordered away with the tablet. Food came up very quick which was nice. Also drinks, extra wasabi and even the bill could be requested by tablet, which was very comfortable. No longer do you have to try and get noticed in a busy sushi joint, but you can just tab the tablet and return your attention to your company, which I very much prefer! The sushi was relatively good, but I am afraid I might be eating too much sushi and have problems differentiating the various flavors! To start with the bad: the handrolls were certain mediocre. You could taste it was refrigerated, and, while that didn't really impact the nigiri, but it did impact the temaki, unfortunately. The handrolls were flavorless and bland. And that's too bad, because I love handrolls! A tip for the establishment: make them as fresh as you can! The maguro and sake nigriri sushi were fairly good in comparison, and I also really liked their roll with ebi and wakame. Good combination! Overall, the sushi was very nice, but we both didn't have favorites that we wanted to order again and again. Still, we really liked it, so we'd probably return!

Qualitatively one of the best (all you can eat) sushi restaurants in NL.

Great food, food comes quickly and the 'plates ' are also quickly collected when empty.

Food in deluxe menu was great and of good quality, fast service, nice ambience.the best restaurant so far of this type in NL for me. Recommend

Heel lekker gegeten en goede service. Als je alleen dichtbij de grill zit, is het soms wel luid dat je elkaar moeilijk kunt verstaan. Daarnaast vond ik het best ongepast dat de manager meermaals, duidelijk hoorbaar tegen het personeel stond te schreeuwen dat ze sneller moesten omdat hij snel naar huis wilde
