Review: Had a great lunch here. The place was very peaceful, the food plentiful and well priced. I'm neither vegetarian or vegan but do like a great healthy meal. I will certainly come back to explore the menu more. Lunch seems to be the better deal over dinner.
Pros: ambiance * diversity * value
Cons: * * |

Review: We went to zen garden while visiting a relative in London recently and we really enjoyed the experience. Very nice decor and excellent food. Everything was delicious. If you're vegan and concerned about whey or other ingredients - just tell the server, they will be more than happy to help you choose vegan items.
Pros: variety * Yummy food * Decor is attractive and modern
Cons: * * |

Review: I'm writing this because I think any vegans who want to eat at Zen Gardens should know that the 'chicken' patties (in dishes such as the Sun kissed Chicken and Black Pepper Chicken) contain Whey Protein. A valid source who would like to remain anonymous has informed me as they have seen the ingredients for that product. We are not sure if other dishes also contain Whey Protein, so if you want to go, please ask to see the ingredients before you order.
Pros: Good food * *
Cons: May not be vegan * * |

• Previously, some of the items of the Zen Gardens menu were improperly labelled as vegan due to a language barrier. Management at Zen Gardens is Buddhist vegetarian and they did not realize whey protein is an animal ingredient. Staff have since looked over the ingredients of every item and made certain that it is labelled properly on the menu. This is not a secret and any customers that are known vegans have been notified of the error with apologies. If you are concerned, simply identify yourself as vegan to your server and they will advise you if your choice is safe.
Everyone at Zen Gardens cares about the unique needs of our customers.
Some specific advice 1)if ordering a combination, tell your server that you're vegan. Veggie nuggets and mousse cake dessert will be substituted for vegan options. 2) E51 Sweet and Sour Bites can be.... response by meow

Review: I recently went with my aunt to Zen Gardens. I was very exited as it would be her first vegetarian restaurant since she moved to London. The place is very nice and the enoki mushrooms were delicius.
Unfortunetly the waitress was very busy and I had to go for the menu, and stand up to ask some things I didnīt understand about the menu. I told her that we were new and she told me that normally she would explain to us but that in the moment she was very busy. We decided to wait until the restaurant was almost empty but she didnīt come back. Other girl attended us but I really felt unconfortable. It was kind of strange and sadly I ended up ordering too much food I couldnīt even finish, wich made the bill very expensive. I would recommend asking about the portion size and what to mix and what not to if you donīt know. In our case there was too much noodles and tempeh.
I am sure this is not very common, as in the entrance a really nice lady told us she really loved the place.
Even though my experience was not very nice it defintly is one of the nicest vegetarians I have ever been in.
Delicius almond cookie!
Pros: Interesting Food * Decoration *
Cons: Not wheelchair accesible * * |

Review: I'd heard a lot of very good things about this restaurant from a friend of mine and finaly decided to try it out for lunch with some people from work last friday. We were all VERY impressed and agreed that we would all be going back again soon. One of the main reasons we decided to go was because one member of our group suffers from Celiacs disease (gluten allergy) making it very difficult for her to at most restaurants. The staff at Zen Garden were very knowledgable and suggested options that were gluten free quickly, enthusiastically and confidently (most restaurants require her to first explain the disease and then begin to look very nervous about suggesting anything other than a salad... and even then don't know what's in the dressings).
On all accounts we were all very impressed and will be going back.
*** As a side note, none of us are strict vegetarians, Zen Garden is great no matter what you're life-style ***
Pros: Great Food and Portions * Knowledgable helpful Staff * Take-out menu!!!
Cons: None during this visit * * |

Review: Ok, I'll admit that at first I didn't want to try it. Chinese is not my thing usually. I expected some greasy spoon operation hawking veggies chicken balls out the back. Ok, so I was expecting the worst. Thankfully I was dead wrong. It's a charming restaurant with a cozy atmosphere. It's already vegetarian to begin with and the menu specifies what's vegan and what's hot with verying degres of spice. The servers are very warm and very friendly. And the food is delicious. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone veg or non. Try the lappa (sp?). It is by far the most delicious thing I've ever had in a veggie restaurant.
Pros: Nice staff * Atmosphere * Delicious
Cons: * * |
