Reviews
"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"
"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."
"We had an amazing dinner experience. Superb, really efficient waitress; delicious food with generous portions and beautiful presentation. The pricing was fair. Highly recommended!"
"A wonderful dinner experience with my wife who had her birthday. Lovely atmosphere and private table. A bit pricy but the delicious food and lovely presentatiin and setting was worth it. Top notch Japanese food."
