I had a wonderful experience. This shop was truly delicious. I loved it. I will definitely come back again. Everyone should definitely come here and eat. I'm not exaggerating. It was very, very good.

We love Zen, we get it for almost all big celebrations and occasions. Our favorites are their noodle dishes, chicken dishes, and appetizers- as a crab rangoon obsessed person I think they have one of the best in Portland

Excellent food, flavorful, great vegetables, came to us hot. Food was creative and perfectly prepared, we will look to return, soon. Not easy to find a creative Chinese restaurant. Thanks to the staff.
