What Tracey likes about Zen:
Fantastic food. Flavoursome and authentic. My daughter thinks that the udon is better than the ones she had in Japan! Really friendly helpful hosts. Definitely recommend this great little restaurant. View all feedback. What Simeon Goyette doesn't like about Zen:
Waited for 1.5 hours for our food, told them we were gonna leave and they just give us one dish and told us it's going to another 2 minutes for the other dishes. Dishes never come after 10 minutes, we never ate the first dish that came and they still charged us for it. Never coming back. View all feedback.

The restaurant has mixed reviews, with some customers finding the food decent but not exceptional and being put off by the prices. Some customers were unhappy with the long wait times and service, with one customer vowing to never return due to a bad experience. On the other hand, many customers rave about the fantastic and authentic food, friendly hosts, and great service. The udon, sashimi, and other dishes are all highlighted for their freshness and quality. The ambience is also praised for transporting diners to Japan. Overall, the restaurant seems to have a loyal following of customers who love the food and atmosphere, despite some issues with pricing and service.

Zen Japanese is by far the freshest Sashimi quality you can expect in any local Japanese restaurants without the hefty price like high-end dining such as Nobu....
