Zen Noodle Bar offers a unique blend of traditional Shanghainese cuisine with modern twists. The restaurant serves a variety of dishes, including chilled cucumber with chili oil, Tang Yuan, and soup dumplings that are filled with flavorful broth and have a good umami taste. The pan-fried soup dumplings are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The scallion oil noodle dish has a good flavor, although it could benefit from fresh scallions. The Shanghai Ja Jang Noodles are reminiscent of a bolognese sauce with pickled cucumbers. The service is friendly, with staff speaking both English and Chinese. The restaurant is clean and simple, with parking available outside or on the street.
