Your experience will vary based on what you order. I liked the Peking duck and crab rangoon here. The duck was quite fresh and the skin was crispy. There were a lot of pancakes (probably not the right name) but we still had to ask for more because there were a lot of duck! The crab rangoon was sweet and crispy. It tastes pretty unique actually. I highly recommend both dishes.We also ordered fried lotus roots with some vege but they were out of most vege as we went there quite late at night. It tasted quite good but also a good amount of spice. I have a feeling that most of the other dishes will taste good too.The decor is quite okay. Imagine an up-scale Chinese restaurant with rich owners. It's too far of a drive for me to frequent this place but if I'm ever in the area, I'd eat here again.

Updated post! BEWARE This place is a hit or miss. Today was a huge disappointment and an opposite experience than my first visit. This was my second visit to pickup the takeout I ordered online. The service was good and consistent but the food was absolutely awful! Again, I had the shrimp lo mein but paid more this time because of an online convenience fee. The spring rolls were hot on the ends and ice cold in the middle. The shrimp was not fresh ? and the noodles were oily and old. To add insult to injury the portion was less than the last time I ordered this dish. I ultimately ended up throwing my food away and will not be going back.

Don't ever give them your number. Long after you decide they're not worth coming back, you will still be getting text spam from them.

This was our first visit to the Zen Garden Restaurant, and we loved our lunch there on Saturday afternoon. The food and service were great, and the prices were not high. We had the Sesame Chicken and Hunan Beef lunch specials. We are looking forward to our next visit.

Waited 30 minutes for an appetizer and then another 15min for more entrees that were all incredibly salty. The wait time and price did not reflect well upon the already mid food.

Ugh. Less than mediocre food. Won't be returning.I wanted to like the food, I really did, because I haven't found a go-to Chinese place in this area yet. But I ordered take out and the food was meh.Sesame chicken was so hard and dry that it almost broke the provided plastic fork. Couldn't even chew some of it. My kids, who love all Chinese fried chicken dishes, couldn't even get past a couple of bites. They loved the sauce - it was just too tough to chew! Tasted like it's been sitting in the refrigerator and was just reheated.Pad thai was limp and lifeless. Flavor was off too. Again, it seems like it was sitting for hours after being made - noodles were unrecognizable as noodles because they fell apart as soon as you tried to pick them up. Nothing worse than old, limp noodles, imo. My fault for ordering a Thai dish at a Chinese place, right?The three stars are for the braised pork bellies and garlic eggplant. Pork bellies were tender and flavorful. Eggplant was amazing (my son who says he hates eggplant insisted it wasn't eggplant before he polished off his portion).

Okay. Good service, but food was just okay.Came here on a whim after seeing they had Szechuan food.It's on the upstairs portion of the shopping center. The space was rather nice and the staff were friendly.I ended up getting Chicken Drypot (it was marked with a 7, which was the highest spicy rating I saw on the menu) and I asked for extra mala. It was neither spicy nor numbing. I also saw very few szechuan peppercorns in the dish, though that isn't the end all be all.Also got some basic sushi and spicy crispy cucumber salad. The cucumber salad was actually quite tasty. It could have been spicier. The sushi was just okay.This area isn't close to me. I most likely will end up going to pepper house for my Szechuan fix, but I may give some of their other dishes another try at some point.

I called at 4:30 in the afternoon and ordered the roast duck for 7 o'clock. After the meal, it was not served until almost 8 o'clock. We wanted to return it, but we refused to return it unless we said it was ready. As a result, the duck was not cooked yet and was very fishy. Not delicious, lightning protection.
