Zen - Chester-le-Street

First visit to this place and it’s alright. It’s very popular so booking is recommended. I am a vegetarian and whilst they say on the limited menu they can adapt, all that means is tofu, tofu and more tofu. I had 3 starters which were large portions. They recommended 3 but I was full before the main course arrived. The main I chose was pad Thai again adapted using tofu. Very tasty but by this stage I’d had enough. No desserts on menu and the coffee machine was broken. Staff were pretty good but didn’t ask once if meal was ok. My partner disliked the chicken Polynesian and didn’t finish it. Very pricey and the decor is a bit dated now.

Love this restaurant, pity that I don't want as often as I want! excellent eating, never had a bad meal. the staff is very helpful and always welcome. very popular can sometimes get quite a lot to do, so it is always a good idea to book their table.

Excellent eating in a very stylish restaurant. we have made the Thaipas option and represent very good value for money and gives them a really good chance to explore what is available on the menu. they would highly recommend to pay a visit in zen.

First time here and the food and service was fantastic. Prices are very reasonable. You may need to book as this place gets very busy.

We had a great meal. Two people in our group were gluten free and there was a very good choice of dishes for them. The food tasted wonderful and the portions were very generous. We also had cocktails and they were very nice. A excellent meal in a beautiful place.
