Taste of Zen is a cozy vegetarian restaurant located in the city center, nestled within the International Buddhist Temple. It offers a menu full of fresh, local vegetables that are packed with flavor. The chefs excel at making vegetables delicious for everyone, including meat-eaters. The staff, who are volunteers, are friendly and passionate about the food they serve, creating a welcoming place for healthy eating. Customers highly recommend the French lunch combo, which includes a delightful mushroom soup, delicious salad, outstanding plant-based fried rice omelette, and tasty crème brûlée. The dim sum platter, mixed vegetable noodle, Buddha feast, and braised gluten dish with mushroom and black fungus are also favorites. The fried noodles have received particular praise for their taste, and the tofu skin is noted for being flavorful. Despite being only open from noon to 3:00 PM, Taste of Zen provides a unique dining experience that will encourage visitors to return. Each person is required to spend at least $25, and tea is an extra cost. Whether visiting for worship or just a meal, Taste of Zen offers authentic vegetarian Chinese dishes that are fresh and delicious, making it a truly delightful experience.
