Went here for a nice family dinner and wow! The food is incredibly fresh - all presented on a giant stone platter and some were torched to perfection. Atmosphere also makes you feel like you're in Japan - a great place with great food!
Our absolute favorite Japanese restaurant and probably our favorite restaurant period! Food here is amazing, extremely fresh, and wonderfully presented. Portions are also very generous as other reviewers have mentioned so be careful not to order too much. Between the quality and the generous portions you absolutely get value for money here, unlike some similar fine dining restaurants in the area. Staff are also lovely - we come here probably too often but the staff are nothing but gracious and friendly, and even remember how we like our food ☺️ Zen is definitely a must for celebrations as well as just a treat now and then. They have also been very accommodating when we’ve brought vegan guests. Photos are from several different visits
Love the food. A bit pricey but maybe becoz they're in the city. Presentation of food was awesome. And they allowed us to stay a bit longer.
Absolutely DELICIOUS! Food was amazing and seafood was incredibly fresh. Oysters are very big and fresh too! Service is 10/10 - husband came late and they replaced his miso soup with a warm and fresh one when he arrived :) Very caring people, food came quickly as well despite it being a weekend.
The best dining experiences we have in New Zealand; even better than some of the fine dining in Melbourne. Everything was amazing with attention to details. The customer service was above and beyond. The staff were warm, friendly and very considerate. Every dish was plated so beautifully and tasted just as delicious as it looked. Especially the sashimi and Aburi nigiri, great value for its high quality.
Yum!! oysters are so fresh and food is really good. The lunch set is also very filling!
Without a doubt one of the best dining experiences we have ever had. Everything was amazing with such attention to detail. The restaurant has lovely decor and a great welcoming atmosphere. The customer service was above and beyond. The staff were warm, friendly and very attentive. The food was sensational. Every dish was plated so beautifully and tasted just as delicious as it looked. It was definitely some of the best and most authentic Japanese food I've ever had. I will remember this dinner for a very long time!
We had an amazing dinner experience. Superb, really efficient waitress; delicious food with generous portions and beautiful presentation. The pricing was fair. Highly recommended!
Definitely recommend you to give it a go! Salmon just melt in your mouth 👌
Went to this place for my birthday, great selection of Japanese dishes, and they are tasty too, just wish it's cheaper. I find the wagyu quite basic and not really worth the price.
