Many attempts at fusion cuisine fail. This one is a complete success. Expect the unexpected.

We had a fantastic time with our niece and 14 of her friends when we took then here for her 16th birthday dinner. Tiffany and her staff we're wonderful. The service was attentive and the food was fabulous. Most of our guests hadn't been to Zen, so this was a great introduction. A few of the parents stayed for dinner so the rave reviews passed both the teen and parent test. We're looking forward to going back!

Family run business with Japanese/Asian/California fusion food. Always some tasty daily specials at great prices. Small plates make a great meal, so much so that only on last visit (3rd), did I turn over the menu to realize there's a whole lot more!

If you love food with an Asian fusion flare, Zen is the place. It's located off Park Blvd but is very easy to find and parking is not a problem. The waitstaff is friendly and helpful. We have never had a dish that we didn't love, our favorite dishes are pork belly sushi and the Asian fries. Can't wait to get back.

We had a party of 11 and the restaurant was overwhelmed. The food all came out at different times and late. In fact, they even forgot to about two of the entrees until we were ready to leave. The food was bland and very average. The food is overpriced for what you get, and most of the what they call tapas were kids size meal. Case in point, the pizza was 5 inches in diameter, tasteless, and soggy -- worse than a frozen meal. Highlight was the cocktails were decent. The ambience was nice so I had high hopes walking in, but was sorely disappointed with the food and lack of service.

Menu is Japanese fusion with many interesting daily quirky specials. Truly excellent execution and service. With reasonable wine and sake list, could not ask for better. Worth a special trip

Zen has an eclectic and interesting menu. The culinary influences must come from 4 or 5 different cuisines. The food is good, the presentation is stylish and prices are very reasonable.
