Zest Restaurant is located in Kitsilano on the corner of West 16^th and MacDonald. Hidden away in mini mall, not really in the prime location. It’s worth the effort to make a trip to this Japanese restaurant. The atmosphere is modern chic, clean, and pleasant.  The service is good, though, most waiters don’t speak proper English, so it can be hard get a suggestion if you are new to the restaurant.  Food is pricey at Zest, rolls start at $9 for about 8 pieces.  So, my suggestion is don’t get the California roll (even though, the waiter suggested it’s a popular roll). Why? It doesn’t taste any better than the ones you get at a cheaper restaurant. I do recommend the spicy tuna roll, actually, it’s worth visiting the restaurant again.  The roll is covered with dried onions and drizzled with a special spicy sauce on top….yummy.  I got my spicy tuna roll last (after a miso soup, goma and California roll), and I was already full, but could not leave the dish unfinished.  3.5/5
