| - I thought the menu looked familiar! This place is one of King Cafe's sister restaurants (KC is in Kensington Market).
My grandmother is a vegetarian so it's my job to scout for the good veggie places and Zen had good reviews so I figured I'd give it a shot. My family ordered my fave from KC, the deep friend seaweed wrapped Enoki (E43 $14.99), Teriyaki Cutlet (E44), and a plated vegetarian noodle dish, bamboo soup, and imitation duck. Unfortunately I don't remember what the last 3 dishes are actually called so that's just my description of them :(
E43 and E44 were good, but you will definitely want some tea and rice on the side because they were too salty for me. I think KC makes the enoki wraps better, and perfectly balanced. My cousin really enjoyed the Teriyaki Cutlet. Some of it was crispy on the outside, while some pieces were softer. The noodles were great and my favourite dish as it was well balanced salt wise, and had a variety of vegetables inside while maintaining the seasoning throughout. The soup was also a welcome dish. As for the duck imitation, my family loved it, but it was my least favourite dish because it was too sweet.
Washrooms are single stall, very clean, and pretty accesible. Service was very attentive throughout our visit. To feed a family of 5, and for some unfinished takeout food that could feed 1 whole other person, our 5 dishes came to almost $80 after taxes. Great prices for the amount of food you get!
