About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
For 20years, Chef Victor Wang and Owner Chiara Covelli have reigned over their highly acclaimed restaurant… Zen Forrest… known for its Chinese, Korean, Thailand, Vietnam, Japan, and Singapore. Award winning lunches and Dinner. Private events, cooking classes. Zen Forrest was known for amazing food, sake, wine and imported and local beers.
When the lease came up at Zen Forrest and they couldn't stay Chiara thought it might be the end of Zen Forrest in New Port Richey. As good things do happen, with the assistance of the new partner, Jay Patel, he found the perfect location on Grand Boulevard in downtown New Port Richey. It is a larger restaurant accommodating over 150 guests, with a Sushi Bar and a sociable, full liquor cocktail bar.

Chef Victor and partners are pleased to share their excitement with loyal Zen Forrest customers and friends and they look forward to hosting you to a new ZEN Kitchen & Bar experience.

    Fantastic, friendly staff. Restaurant has a fun vibe with delicious food and drinks (one of the best old fashions ever). Menu is marked for vegan, gluten free and containing nuts. Highly recommend!

    First time to Zen and it was a great experience From the time we walked in and were treated warmly to our Server Tony who was attentive and answered all our questions The won ton soup was the best I have had.I chose General Tso chicken and it was my bad that I didn’t ask the heat index. I ordered mild and there was no heat which was my fault I should have asked but it was still exceptional. Just enough sauce so you actually tasted the chicken and not just gloppy sauce. The dish was well presented. The rice cooked perfectly and the noodles were outstanding. Thank you again for the warm welcome by the hostesses and our server Tony for making our first experience wonderful. We will be back. Next time Sushi

    We had the buttered chicken and Nan. The portion was enough for both of us. The Indian style appetizer was also very good. There was an automatic charge of 20% gratuity because we had 6 guests. The server did not mention this to us. Luckily, one of our friends noticed it. As the room began to fill with other guests, it got pretty loud. This was our second visit. There is a parking lot behind the restaurant. We will return again.

    Zen Kitchen never disappoints! Every visit is a perfect blend of incredible flavors, a relaxing atmosphere, and top-tier service. Our recent experience was no exception—everything from the beautifully presented dishes to the warm hospitality made for an unforgettable meal. A special shoutout to Dora, who was absolutely amazing as always! Her attention to detail, friendly demeanor, and impeccable service truly elevate the dining experience. She ensures that every guest feels welcome and well taken care of. If you’re looking for a place that consistently delivers fresh, delicious food with outstanding service, Zen Kitchen is the place to be. Highly recommend!
