I have been to Zen more times than I could count with it being so close to my work. I have never had anything than other than a delicious, consistent visit. The bento boxes remain great value and generous in their content and variety of flavours. A real favourite.

Intimate seating provided for a date with my daughters. Has been a favourite restaurant of mine for many years prior to the pandemic & I visited with friends frequently. Choosing vegetarian diet there is a wonderful variety available. And the staff are very friendly & welcoming.

The ambiance and food was amazing. We tried so many things off the menu including the plum wine and hot sake. By far the best Japanese restaurant I have been to! Staff were friendly and the atmosphere was very relaxed and chill. Definitely a place to try great Japanese food. Thank you for a wonderful experience and night.

I went there for lunch today to celebrate my husband’s b’day. The lunch offer is great! Only half price you pay but you get good quality of food and the portion is big. We like the sashimi and the tempura most. The temperature is just perfect. Only thing is we waited for 30mins before the meal comes. Probably because we got there right after they open and the kitchen is not ready yet. We will go back again.
