We went to Zen today for lunch. It is an interesting concept because it menu provides an option of Asian inspired dishes as well as Spanish inspired dishes. The table went for Asian, except for one friend, who went with a Spanish inspired salad.
We had a group of 7 and needed to be seated quickly because we have exactly 1 hour for lunch. I called ahead to make a reservation which was a really easy process and our table was ready for us when we arrived.
Our server was friendly and attentive. My water glass was always full which was a plus!
I enjoyed my lunch (Kung Pow Chicken) but it was not the best I've ever had. It said on the menu it was supposed to be spicy, but I had to ask for a side of chili oil and siracha to make it spicy to my taste (it was rather mild). It was a large portion, so I will have leftovers for dinner! The amount of veggies was great. I am only giving two stars because while the service was good and the food was fine, I have had much better Chinese food and I prefer other Asian places in Charlotte (SoHo Bistro, KO Sushi). And minus one start because no sushi menu for lunch!
Solid-ish place, good service, ok food. I was content with my meal. I would go back, maybe at dinner so I could try the sushi. I am still confused by the Asian/Spanish theme.
