| - I really enjoyed my experience at Zen, despite a slightly overpriced menu. We went there on a Friday night after driving around forever trying to decide what we wanted and the wait at the bar was brief. I had the Zengria and it was super tasty, but at 8 bucks a glass, one would do me. Since I love tapas and small plates, I ordered all appetizers for my meal and the crispy crab and cream cheese rolls were spectacular! Obviously cream cheese has nothing to do with Asian cuisine but the added flavor with the real crab meat in a cripsy wonton skin was a perfect match. I also had the spicy tuna nachos....huge chips covered in chunks of bright pink tuna mixed with a type of spicy aioli. The sauce was a little much for me, mostly because I'm not a mayonnaise fan and it's resemblance to mayo along with the excessive amount was a bit of a turn-off. But, the tuna was perfect and the spicyness was just right. The mussels in ginger broth, however....no, no, no! Gritty and bland....not worth the price at all. All in all, I will go back for sure for another glass of Zengria and those rolls alone. They also have good specials during the week (buy one get one tapas, etc.). Oh and I sat next to Ric Flair at the bar and being a girl from the Midwest, that was worth the laugh and conversation.
