Delicious! Our first time trying their restaurant, and everything thing on my plate was delicious. 10/10 for sure. Can’t wait to come back.
Our server/owner was Nancy. She is such a sweet giving woman. Very hospitable and expedient. She made sure we had plenty to eat and was always refilling our drinks.
It was great! Sesame chicken, Generals chicken, lo mein and the crab Rangoon’s! Everything was awesome and the waitress was very nice and friendly! 10/10
I have owned a business at the Lake since 1992. One certain thing, doing business here is not easy. For a seasonal unstable area Zen is a 10!

Zen is a takeout-only Chinese restaurant located by the lake, offering a variety of dishes with a creative twist that combines elements of Japanese, Thai, and Chinese cuisine. The menu features popular items like hot and sour soup, which is highly recommended, especially if you’re feeling under the weather. The chili oil adds a nice kick to the soup, and the lo mein remains a favorite among customers. The Egg Foo Yung stands out with its light curry-flavored gravy served on the side, offering a different take from traditional versions. The beef lo mein is flavorful with tender slices of beef, while the cashew chicken features deep-fried chicken pieces in a unique sauce with toasted cashews. The Walnut shrimp, with fried shrimp, chunks of pineapple, and a light mayonnaise-style sauce, is also highly praised. Portions are satisfying, and the food is generally good, though some reviews mention that the menu is not strictly authentic Chinese and that prices have increased. The general chicken dish is known for its perfect blend of spicy and sweet flavors. Nancy, the owner and server, provides warm and attentive service, ensuring a welcoming experience. Overall, Zen offers delicious takeout with a distinctive style, making it a popular choice for those seeking flavorful Chinese food by the lake.
