Both times I've been here it was right around the time they opened but the lights were off throughout. I also noticed a lot of notices/'rules' in their menu and posted throughout the restaurant which also adds to the uninviting atmosphere.I appreciate that the food comes out piping hot and ingredients taste fresh. The taste seems to have changed though, pre COVID I remember it tasting better. I would still give the food 4 stars though. Prices are on the higher end and portions are small.The waitress was friendly and offered hot water seeing that I needed to warm milk for my little one. Food was a bit slow to come out but again we did come right at opening. Probably not the place to visit if you are in a hurry though, order ahead if you are.Overall 4/5 based on taste, size, price and service. I would only go out of my way to come here for family and friends that requested a dine-in Vegetarian Asian restaurant.

Expensive but really well done vegetarian food. A lot of their meat alternatives are as good if not better than the original meat based dishes they were based on.

Service was horribbllee!! I brought a large party there to celebrate graduation with my friends and family. The staff would not allow us to cut the cake we brought in the store, they made us leave and cut the cake in the parking lot. They also forced us to finish early and leave. Not nice.

What I think extremely good, is the atmosphere here.The style is like the mixture(but not exactly) of Yum Cha(飲茶） and Hong Kong-style restaurant(茶餐廳）.For the food, I am satisfied and surprised that every vegetarian meat（植物肉/plant meat) is very good!if you are Not a vegetarian, just a little suggestion for you—— Vegetarian meat has a rich taste comparbly (especially dish called 火腿炒飯/Ham fried rice)I enjoy the vegetarian food today with my family. Thanks this restaurant and its staff to offer vegetarian food!And thank you for viewing my post!Vegetarian options: vegetarian meat is delicious（especially Ham fried rice, I have feelings of warmth and fullness)Parking: Around 20% space

Excellent food and services , the dishes were so tasty that I almost forgot I am having vegetarian food! Highly recommended!
Saw that the menu was mostly vegan, with a few vegetarian dishes so figured I’d give it a try. Ordered a few dishes to try out, the soy drumsticks, sao Mai, udon noodle soup, fried rice and veggie croquettes. Everything was delicious, and really flavourful! Also got the fresh apple juice, which was juiced in store and nice and refreshing. The servers were very prompt with taking orders and very kind. Overall great experience, can’t wait to go back and try more dishes!

Zen Gardens is one of the best vegetarian restaurants in the area. I’ve been dining here for many years and every experience has been peaceful, relaxing, and satisfying. Great atmosphere overall. Prices have definitely gone up post-pandemic, but that seems to be the case everywhere. The menu has also changed, but we were informed that this is the case because of Covid. The hot and sour soup + jasmine tea is delicious, and I love the crispy soy fritters, fried bean curd, and fried noodle dishes. We also purchased multiple boxes of the pineapple cake and were super impressed.
