| - This place has been many names. Veggie House, Hankai, etc. At one point, they closed for several months. But guess who's back, like Wendy's twitter handle?!
I used to come here often when I lived just up the hill, especially on my day off, when I simply could not say no to a $9 lunch special. Today was no different. You can get 2 items with rice for $7.50, 3 items with rice for $9 or 4 items with rice for (I think) $12. Since the choices that aren't made with vital wheat gluten are kind of limited, I stuck to the $9. Spicy eggplant stirfry, tofu rolls that they generously sliced in to bite-sized pieces for me, garlic-y shredded potatoes and carrots; all served on a heaping bed of white rice. At first the huge portion of white rice made me sad, because usually that means they will secretly give you less food (like how Subway will give you less toppings because they'll put 4 handfuls of shredded lettuce on your sub) -- not at Zen-E! Here, you have enough for a proper vegan food coma. They even gave me a complimentary cup of soup! Zzzzzzzzzzzz...
The food here reminds me of the bi-monthly vegan buffet at Avatamsaka, but tastier. Service is friendly, cheerful and the price is right. Don't close, Zen-E! I will seek you out whenever I am in the area!
