Zen Gardens

I would say the food are decent, but before pandemic, they used to have a lot more variety and options. My favorite vegetarian Sashimi is no longer available, and the service and atmosphere is not there. They place is hot and they didn't turn on the A/C , there are 5 tables with customers yet they didn't turn any lights on at all. I love vegetarian food, but I will not come back for the super high price with zero service and poor atmosphere.

If you are vegan/vegetarian but don't want to lose out on authentic flavors Zen Gardens is the place for you.. We liked the atmosphere the food very much. Service can be bit slow and they don't come ask you about the food or if we need anymore unless you call them, but with current scenario I can live with it. We ordered few soups, appetizers and main course dishes. Overall food was really flavourful and right amount of spiciness whee the dish said it will be spicy. Vegetarian options: Being a vegetarian you always worry about dietary restrictions while eating in a restaurant. Zen Gardens takes those worries away since everything is meat free in this place.

I just left the restaurant and I had a great experience! This was my first time there and the food was amazing. As a vegan it’s hard to find food I can eat, or food that I want to eat. This was delicious. The portion sizes are great. The ambiance is great and the staff are all so friendly and polite. Being there made me feel so warm and happy. I can’t recommend this place enough. I will definitely be back! Thank you for your great service and food.

Restaurant offers various types of Asian cuisine like Chinese, Japanese. If you are vegan and want to try authentic Asian food then this place is for you. Good food with nice hospitality. We tried vegan for the first time & quite liked it

Loved the place and ambiance. Staff is friendly and food is delicious. I tried Barbecue Seitan which is really good and taste like juicy chicken. Dumplings are little bit on drier side a dip would make it more edible. It’s a bit pricer but worth to try

Food tasted good as usual. Thank goodness. The menu has dropped some fav dishes. The service staff was abrupt and discourteous - to the point of rude. We had a group of 5 but added one more when the second group joined. The staff was flustered about seating us though the restaurant was 50% empty with 3 tables for 8 people vacant and without reservation sign. They kept pushing some of the more expensive dishes- casseroles with king mushroom- which none of us had liked in our previous visit. We had to be very firm in asking them to back off on suggestions. My husband and I would have left without eating but my in-laws both in their 80s were with us. Maybe Covid has changed the restaurant staff courtesy rules...

I wanted to try this place for vegan Chinese food. The ambiance of the restaurant is nice with friendly staff. They have a collection of different teas for sale apart from the dining. I tried a takeout of the bbq seitan based on the number of positive reviews it has. The price was $18 plus tax. Taste was okay but not so great as described by other reviewers. Though it says bbq and have their own sauce for it, it’s nowhere close to being a smoky flavoured bbq. It’s just a sweet sauce that is similar to honey based sauces. While it was juicy and tasted good, it was deep fried in oil. The portion size is small for a 20$ item. It barely satisfied any hunger and could have been 15$ max incl tax. Also, going vegan doesn’t necessarily need to be healthy and environmental friendly and this item is the best example of having so much sugars, deep fried in oil and being soy only product that induces wrong hormones in the body. There are other types of proteins that are being engineered out of plant based products not just soy/tofu and these vegan restaurants can try them too. We may be doing a favour to the environment by not eating meat but in the process destroying our own health isn’t the way to do. Overall, I give the restaurant and friendliness of staff a 4 star but if the ‘vegan’ term refers to only soy based imitation of meats then it’s a 1 star.

This a lovely place with delicious food! I strongly recommend it for any vegans/vegetarians in the area as well as anyone else who is looking for a great place to eat. Can’t wait to come back here and try more dishes and hopefully get to dine in.

Horrible restaurant and even worse customer service. The food is disgusting, the dumplings were cold, miso soup was filled with tofu, and the worst part was the “California roll” that was the absolute worst sushi I ever had. The rice was very over cooked, and there was too much rice and only avocado for California roll?! I only had one of the eight pieces and based on their policy they don’t take food back and was charged the full amount. Zero customer service and DO NOT recommend anyone go here.

Being a vegetarian on 12th June I wanted to take out food at this restaurant. I looked at there menu and prices on line. I decided to go there and order it. What a surprise lady behind the counter told me that menu doesn't exist and she is not aware of it. When I showed her she denied it by saying she doesn't know who put on there website. Anyhow she also told me there is no take out menu and asked me to order it from their very pricey dine in menu and try to upsell me the dishes. I asked her if restaurant had Cantonese chow main and snd she pointed finger at menu and she said this is the one. So I ordered two items. Fried noodles at $14.99 and Kung Po soy Fritters for 19.99 plus tax. I got another surprise when I got home and looked at the noodels dish. It was just fried chow main not even close to Cantonese chow main dish as she explained. They give you very small quantity for the price they charge and food is taste less. I'll never visit this restaurant again
