| - 4.5 stars. Zenzen Taste is a hole-in-the wall, unassuming restaurant attached to an Asian grocery store. Came here with a small group of 4 on a Tuesday night and we were the only customers. After a lot of deliberation, we ended up ordering the creamy tofu, a clear rice cake appetizer, mixed mushroom stirfry, shuizhouyu (spicy fish in chili oil) and a spicy Szechuan style seafood stir fry. Service was extremely quick and I was very impressed.
Everything was excellently made and very authentic, fresh and tasty. My favorites were the clear rice cake and mushrooms (though for the price, I felt the portions of both of these dishes were small). The fish was tasty and hot, but I felt the type of fish they used personally was a little soft (still worth trying though!). The seafood dish was tasty and the portion was huge (though it was pricier), but overall it did not wow me (I probably wouldn't order it again). Overall, I was extremely satisfied with my meal and will definitely come back.
The only thing I mention is that if you're looking for cheap greasy and filling fast-food style Chinese food, this is not it. Everything runs on the spicy side and 4 of us comfortably finished 4 dishes and one appetizer. This is a good restaurant to bring a big group to and order family style.
