Zen Sushi in Helsinki, Finland

I have heard great tales about the Zen Sushi restaurant in Helsinki , tales of really good food, an excellent service with a good ratio quality/price.

Curious of all these praises I have decided to see by myself this week. Service is indeed good, actually way above many restaurants in the capital, waitresses were friendly, fast to take order with always a smile.
However, prices are slighty above the other sushi restaurants in town:; which would have been fine if the food would have been good. Perhaps i was unlucky that day or my expectations were too high in the light of what i have heard about the Zen Sushi restaurant but i have found the sushis perhaps the worst ones i tasted in the city; the rice wasn't good at all, and the fishes unremarkably normal. With my luck, they made a mistake in my order, and give me some extra-sushis. First time i wasnt really happy to get some more.

Ichiban remains still my favourite in terms of quality vs price; and Raku Ya my most favorite one in terms of food. Nevertheless i will try again Zen Sushi to give it another chance.
