Enjoyed the poor man’s noodles with ground chicken though the medium spice level wasn’t really spicy at all. Service was good. Didn’t love how they brought the check before I’d even drank my tea, but would come back to try another dish.

The most disappointing takeout I’ve probably ever had. Definitely the worst Thai food. Noodles were absolutely flavorless, the roti soggy and drenched in oil, and the curry watery. Im usually one to disregard one star reviews, but I wish I hadn’t.

First time having food at this restaurant and the food was really good. This is a small place with very few tables. The customer service was good. Ambience nice. Definitely recommend the sticky rice with banana and the coconut ice cream. It was the best. Try any dishes from the menu you will not be disappointed.

Many years ago I had dinner at Zen Yai. The food was OK but the atmosphere was not appealing. THIS HAS ALL CHANGED.Recently we went back to have dinner at Zen Tai based on a recommendation of a trusted friend. All the items we ordered were fresh and delicious and the interior of the restaurant was greatly improved. I look forward to returning soon!

I've had Thai food across the US, Canada, and Thailand and this was absolutely the worst phad thai I've ever had. 0 spice, it just tasted like tomato sauce. The noodles were soggy, stuck together and just terrible. The Thai tea was amazing though.

***Beware*** Such a bad experience! We went there and asked for spicy food and they just said we can’t make spicer than this and it was not at all spicy also it’s little pricey and portion size was small. It looks way different in person than in pictures. There was nothing compared to pictures. They should at-least make it little clean and improve on their customer service. Overall not great experience!
Delicious food and super friendly staff. I had the yellow curry with tofu and sticky mango rice (both vegan). Great quality and prices. Highly recommended.

Small place but big flavors!Truly delicious, we had some very fresh spring rolls. Some amazing dumplings and a traditional Thai soup that I've never had before. Simply scrumptious. The service is quick and friendly and it's right downtown so it's great place to go for locals and bring your guests. Even my 97-year-old mama loves this place!Vegetarian options: There seem to be a small yet tasty selection for vegetarians.

Solid! I’d argue slightly better than Your Place and Tap Thai. Tom Yum and Chicken Fried Rice were delish.

Zen Yai has been the go to for a lot of the locals when indulging in Thai food! Although the outside of the restaurant has changed, the food and service remains outstanding! Ordered the yellow curry, chicken satay, and veggie egg rolls, and it was delish! Definitely recommend it :)

Very mediocre experience. Would have been less than two stars if the customer service wasn't as good. I understand that the location is prime and rent is expensive but the cost of a meal here when keeping in mind the portion size and quality is subpar. I live in an area where Thai food is prominent and have been spoiled. There was barely any protein in the meals and the portion was so small. The vegetable egg rolls were pretty bad and only filled with cabbage. Definitely a lack of flavor for a Thai food spot.
Really good Tom Kha!
