"Best Asian Food in the USA (honestly)!"   My Rating
2 Rebekah	Posted on: Tuesday, September 22, 2009
	Review: Being from New York, my husband and I only go to Louisville sometimes to visit family, but whenever we go, we always stop by Zen Garden. If we lived closer we would definitely eat there every week. I used to live in Japan, and so I often miss that type of food. The menu at Zen Garden is Asian Fusion: a mix of Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese, and Japanese. Everything is so fresh, healthy, and flavorful. My favorite entrees are the Orange Tofu and the Crispy Shiitake Mushroom Stir-fry, but everything on the menu is wonderful! Everyone loves the spring rolls and pot stickers too. My parents who are not vegetarian also love eating at Zen Garden. Zen Garden is 100% vegetarian, has beautiful Japanese-style interior design, and very friendly wait staff. The owner Coco Tran is such a talented chef and a sweet person too! I heard she recently opened a new Japanese tea house called "Zen Tea House." I'm so jealous that Louisville now has its own tea house, and now I'm really looking forward to my next visit to Louisville. P.S. Their website is http://www.zengardenrestaurant.org   Pros: Fresh * Healthy * Absolutely Delicious Cons: Wish it was located closer to my home! * *

	Review: One of my all time favorite restaurants. Zen Garden provides excellent service and food in a friendly and calming environment. If you love Zen Garden, you will also enjoy Zen Tea House, just two doors away. The owner of Zen Garden opened Zen Tea House recently and offers an excellent selection of teas and vegetarian/vegan cuisine.   Pros: * * Cons: * *

	Review: This is BY FAR my favorite restaurant in Kentucky. It is fabulous, and I make an effort to eat there at LEAST once per day every time I'm in Louisville. The food is amazing, and most of the items on the menu are vegan. I have never tried a dish at Zen Garden that I was disappointed with. The food is extremely flavorful, they serve nice full portions, and I'm always left excited about my next visit!   Pros: Vegan! * Delicious! * Cons: None! * *

"The ONLY 100% vegetarian restaurant in town"   My Rating

	Review: The others forgot to mention that the Zen Garden is the only 100% vegetarian restaurant in town. Many restaurants have veggie 'choices', but there are NO dead animals within this building. Oh, and because of this, they consistently score an 'A' on the health code inspection, with a 99% or 100%. Oh, and also, let them know if you are a diabetic, and they can modify what they cook for you, e.g., use different/no sweeteners, brown rice instead of white rice, etc. If you go to Louisville, make sure you go there to eat. We have taken many carnivores there, and they loved the food too; they could not tell it was vegetarian.   Pros: Great Taste * Variety * Cons: None * *

"Best veg restaurant in Louisville"   My Rating

	Review: Vu and Ty are the best vegetarian cooks in Louisville. I cannot get enough of ZG. Everything on the menu is not only delicious but prepared beautifully and served by awesome waitresses. This place is small but really is the only place I would take an out of town vegetarian/vegan to eat!! Great atmosphere, Coco is very nice, and the food is to die for. The prices aren't over the top either. I recommend the Zen Garden roll and Quangs Traditional Noodles. YUM!   Pros: great good * awesome staff * reasonable prices Cons: * *

"Wonderful Place!"   My Rating
4 etherealvi olet	Posted on: Wednesday, March 21, 2007
	Review: Been eating at Zen Garden for years now. Always have a wonderful experience there and the lady who owns the place is great. I do believe her profit off of this place is charity. I know she runs another Vietnamese restaurant in town and so this one is non profit. I read it somewhere so don't quote me but I'm sure you could Google it. Food is AWESOME but we don't eat there as often as I'd like because we have a large family and it gets pricey after everyone adds Pot Stickers and Spring Rolls! I love the Pot Stickers and Fried Rice! This place is also about 98% vegan and 100% vegetarian. I was told the only non vegan items were one dish with noodles that contained eggs and the fortune cookies are not vegan either. The Plantain with coconut sauce is a wonderful dessert!   Pros: Great food * 100% vegetarian/98% vegan * Calm/soothing atmosphere Cons: A little pricey * *
