Zen Modern Asian Bistro in San Diego

This place has authentic flavors and impeccable service. Each bowl and dish promises a symphony of taste, capturing the essence of traditional recipes. A must-visit for noodle fans; the Taiwanese beef noodle soup is a culinary journey that takes me back to Taiwan. Ask for John he’ll take care of you!

Fantastic Thai cuisine served in a cozy and modern setting. The dishes burst with flavors, and no single spice overwhelms the taste. We requested a spicy level, and it was perfectly balanced. The portions are generous, featuring an abundance of vegetables. The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful.

Had the opportunity to try Zen for lunch, and it did not disappoint! Some of the best fusion Ive had. I made sure to share this with others in local online food groups. Cant wait to come back on an empty stomach 😊

Good food! Great service! We ordered a bunch of things and we were all in agreement that the soups were the best particularly the Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup and the Udon Noodle Soup. The soups are massive (easily a 2 person portion).

Food was good. Enjoyed the sauces on sushi rolls.Atmosphere was a little lacking. Ill assume COVID has impacted how they store items so it looked a bit disheveled.There was one guy waiting on tables and assisting to-go orders. Hard working and friendly but spread too thin....like every other place currently. I would go back but likely do a to-go order.

I continue to have issues with getting a satisfactory delivery of my order. Ive called Zen Bistro to complain a couple of times, but that hasnt resolved the issues.When I order the Hot & Sour soup with crispy won-tons, they forget the won-tons.When I order California Rolls with extra wasabi, the rolls are barely held together/ As soon as I pick one up, it disintegrates and falls apart. Plus, it seems as though the rolls have been already made and have been sitting around for hours - not fresh. And sometimes, I get very small portions of wasabi (which is why I started asking for extra) even though Ive asked for EXTRA.Ive decided to look for another Asian food restaurant. My family has tried to like Asian Zen Bistro, but they continue to screw up our orders and the sushi leaves a lot to be desired as far as freshness and build quality.

Great place for Asian fusion. Food quality is excellent. I recommend the Wor Won Ton soup, pot stickers, and Salmon Nigiri. Seating area is small so might not be able to pop in to done but they do take out and its worth it.

Service is friendly and it wasnt crowded. The serving size is a lot larger, but it is considerably much more pricier.Overall it was a lovely experience

I usually order the Pad Thai which is always delicious but Im a little under the weather and ordered the Taiwanese Beef Noodle soup to-go and it was just what i needed! The stew and beef tastes like its been cooking for hours and hours! They even gave me to-go bowl since they knew Im having lunch in the office! Super friendly and fast service! Everything Ive had here is super yummy!

Have to admit a bit skeptical about what an Asian bistro would bring to the table but I was surprised.Food brought to the table:Spicy Salmon Sushi RollSpicy Yellowfin Sushi RollCalifornia RollPad ThaiAll items had great taste and were presented well. The only downfall of the meal was the appearance of the actual rolls themself. You can see in the pictures a couple were a bit loose however, its because they stuffed so much fish into those pieces.This place has Soda made by Stubborn Soda. I dont mind the taste because its made without the high fructose sugar and with cane sugar but there is a little taste that is off. Bench burger in Escondido Carries the same soda and Im often going back and forth to find one with a different taste. But after the spiciness of the roll that little off taste went away.The prices seemed fair and looking around the large portions offered where plenty.y wife ordered the regular size and half of that went home with her. She ordered a thai tea as well and said is was delicious.Overall, 5 stars and intention to visit again.~The Hungry Man~
