9.5/10Highly recommend. Never disappoints. If you are looking for authentic Japanese then this is the place to go. Their Agadashi tofu is the best we have had.

About the restaurant
I think I'm turning Japanese.
From the endearingly giggly service to the tea-light-lit tables and palate tickler of silky potato with mayo, Zen's little shopfront is a charmer. Meaning kindness and goodness, Zen Japanese represents exactly that. This little haven is the perfect spot to catch up with a friend after a busy week.
Continuously seeking improvements, these guys are not simply working towards becoming a great restaurant, but also creating a memorable place for their customers to keep coming back to.
Best dish: Sizzling beef teriyaki with grilled vegetables.
