Excellent noodle and curry dishes and often quite fast after order too. If a little on the pricey side, still very filling with good portions. Service sometimes feels a little rushed and impersonal. The inside area is very atmospheric and nice to eat.

Busy and worth booking but rewarded by the best Asian food. Lovely staff and great service. The food was amazing and had a new twist on each dish. The crispy chilli beef was succulent and well cooked without being chewy. Would also recommend the chicken Polynesian (sweet and sour stir fry) dish. The cocktail/mocktail menu was extensive. The blue lagoon was gorgeous.We sat in the outer area which was quieter than inside. This was pleasant until people smoked just outside the windows or the car parked alongside the window ran his engine. Overall this didn’t spoil the great experience and would still recommend it.

I'll start with the positive. The food was extremely nice lots of flavour and a good choice on the menu. The seats were really comfortable and the inside layout was very relaxing, I especially liked the pink plant lookalike on the ceiling with lights. The staff were very friendly and polite. What I didn't enjoy. My food was around 10 minutes late after everyone else had there's, I felt I was surrounded by snobs people who think they better than everyone maybe it's because I'm not used to these places. We got a warning for being too loud. And you only get a 2 hour slot. I thought the price was too much. The staff asked for a service charge at the end which I didn't mind paying but that kind of thing isn't normal around England extra £6 on the bill for doing their job. The drinks looked nice but again well over priced.I am glad I have tried Zen but unfortunately i probably will not be returning.

Loved our time here. The decor, ambiance inside, and in the bamboo garden were delightful. Staff were very attentive and the quality of the food was fantastic. Unfortunately, the spicy food was just too spicy even when it said it's spice level was 1/3. My husband who is a fan of hot food agreed it was overly spicy for a Thai green curry.

Highly recommended!One of the best Thai restaurant in the UK. The food was just as authentic as it could when outside the territory. All dishes are flavorful and delicious. The price was reasonable too.Plus, the staffs were very attentive and friendly.Can’t wait to go back.

This is a popular restaurant, frequented by a wide range of patrons. Luckily, when we turned up without booking there was still a table available. Most tables are inside, with a handful under a covered & mostly enclosed section. I'd guess use of them depends on the weather.The menu was nicely varied, without overdoing it. All the dishes we ordered were well presented and the quality was spot on. We also tried some of their cocktails (including alcohol free ones) & they were also great.Staff were welcoming and friendly. Only thing I'd say us the music was a bit loud, which competed at times with conversation. Would happily go back for more great food.

Loved this place, great decor, good service and the food was outstanding. I opted for dumplings and pork skewers and no main, it was fabulous.Will definitely come here again, 100% recommended.

Booked table 6 weeks in advance as busy on Saturday lunch time. Excellent food, lovely staff, my only critique would be the room was dimly lit, im aware this adds to the ambiance but some of our group struggled to read the menu.It was lovely though.

Great service, really nice looking place. Thai food is usually not my thing but the food was lush. Highly recommend. It was busy midday Saturday, would suggest booking in advance.
