Open for 4 months and burned through 2 chefs already....? Owner spent 4 million bucks on the build out and that is evident in the design, but that doesn't qualify her to "run" the kitchen. Food quality has already slipped and the location is a bit deceiving and maybe not as good as it seems. Plus I'm sure the monthly rent nut is not cheap.
Couple all of that with the fact that El Pollo Loco just built a location right on top of Zen (which makes it hard to see and makes parking tight in an already cramped space) and you have the perfect storm for yet another story about a beautiful restaurant that didn't have the food, service, or leadership to make it in north Scottsdale.
