Fodor's Expert Review Zen

$$ Central District Japanese

Offering a blend of Asian fusion, the standout dishes at Belfast's finest Japanese restaurant are the sea bass and sole, or the Zen monkfish. Among the discerning diners who frequent this lively spot, the delicious assorted mushroom teppanyaki is also a big hit, as well as the sushi and sashimi. Choose between wooden booths or—if prepared to hunker down on the floor Japanese-style—the traditional dining area; or opt for a discreet table for two divided by beaded curtains. Finish with a Japanese malt whiskey: Nikka Black is smoky and mellow and rounds out the perfect dinner.
