I first went with my mom after reading such good...
I first went with my mom after reading such good reviews for vegetarian food, and we both loved it.
The Organic Green Tea is so good, and the pot is adorable! The Soy Drumsticks are to die for, as well as the Soy Chicken Balls, Spring Rolls, Wonton Soup and Kings Noodle (or something like that) soup.
I actually went back on the 28th of November with my meat-loving, ketchup adoring boyfriend for our appetizer section of our anniversary dinner.
Once again I had to order those drumsticks, and yet again they were awesome! He enjoyed them too. We also ordered soy nuggets (I quote "they taste like chicken!!"), Crystal Rolls (amazing!), Spring Rolls, and a pot of Zen's Organic Green Tea.
My burger-loving boy can't wait to go back there again and try some more vegestuff!
Zen Garden...how appropriate. Enter into a calm environment that is tastefully designed - clean, contemporary, but with character. Soft zen-like music meld in the background. Menu selection is fantastic - all vegetarian - with vegan & non-vegan options clearly labelled. Service was a bit slow, especially considering there weren't many people there at the time I went but courteous. Dumplings ($7 for 8 pieces) were fantastic. Would definitely order again, and come back specifically for it. Then the next came a soy beef noodle dish with bean sprouts, which was disappointing. Lacked strong flavour, very few pieces of "beef", too much noodles, and thought there would be more veggies other than bean sprouts. Definitely can be passed on. Ginger tea was standard fare, but good nevertheless.
Parking is on a residential street, and not difficult to find a spot.
Would love to come back and try another main dish, and definitely get the dumplings again. FYI, this appears to be a local chain - about 6 locations all west of Mississauga. Recommended for lovers of Chinese food and vegetarians.
Zen Garden is a real treat for vegetarians as it is a very beautiful restaurant where we're able to order anything off the menu (a rare occurance when dining out)! We were a large group of vegetarians and non-vegetarians and everyone loved the assortment of dishes we ordered. The restaurant itself is in a renovated turn-of-the-century home that is decorated in bold, modern orange with minimalist artwork on the walls, but at the same time retains a refined traditionalist decor with focus on the solid wood fireplace and the original hardwood floors thoughout. The place settings are all modern, white ceramic and tea is served in especially beautiful glass teapots and small glass tea cups.
We were well taken care of by our server who went beyond great service by even graciously spliting our bills evenly and taking a group picture of us outside the restaurant!
The food itself was delicious. We shared an assortment of dishes and could not beleive that some of the dishes could taste the way they did. My only cautionary note would be that the Black Bean "Fish" dish is quite salty, and upon returning I would not order that dish again. Other than that, Zen Garden is highly recommended as eveything was wonderful and I am planning to return very soon!
I would have to start by echoing the previous posting, the decor is very beautiful - stylish and 'zen' like! They do have a patio. The only drawback to this restaurant is that it doesn't yet have a licqour lisc. - They do however, have many tasty teas to choose from. The food we enjoyed here was so delicious, I am dreaming of going back! The food was unique and my meat eater friends enjoyed all these veggie dishes as well...no one left hungry! The service was also very attentive and patient with our large group. I would highly recommend this restaurant!
My first impression of zen gardens was that the decor is absolutely fantastic. such a lovely place to go and pass the time. I got take out and although I wasn't there for very long the waitress was kind and helpful. The food I had was amazing. incredible really. I couldn't believe that i could have such yummy asian-style appetizers sans meat, but they've done it.
