I would give it a solid 4.6. Everything was very well-prepared. Service was really good. Friendly staff. Wasnot sure if what to expect but wanted something different. Very pleasantly surprizred. Definately will go back. One review said the portions were small. I did not find that. I was full when we left. Looking forward to going again.
The plate came out eye-wateringly sizzling and the aroma swamped the restaurant; at that moment I knew that’s what I was getting!
A group of us went to check this place out, and upon entering and looking at the menu, we were eager to order a variety of items. Our food arrived, and the presentation was nice. The food was delicious, but the portions were quite small. We ate then looked at each other uneasily and someone said hey it was great but I'm still hungry. The decision was made to cut our losses, and we then went to another restaurant to have some appies and desert. This was my one, and the only experience. The food was pricy for what we got. I may venture to try once more and hopefully have a more satisfying experience.
Absolutely wonderful Restaurant, with a cosy atmosphere and kind helpful staff. We enjoyed our shared meal here today, and would highly recommend visiting!
This is a little gem hidden in downtown PG. It's easy to miss if you don't know it's there, located right next to the Travelodge motel in a little brick building on the corner. The atmosphere in the restaurant is lovely, and wasn't too busy, especially since we arrived shortly after opening. Our server was attentive and friendly, but not overbearing. The food was absolutely amazing. We ordered the Hakka noodles which were delicious, and the portion size was perfect. Not too large and just enough to fill you up without feeling heavy. We also went with dessert and got the Thai coconut custard, which was a perfect choice, being light but very tasty and the perfect way to top off our meal. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back again!
Ordered from Skip. The chicken dumplings were raw. Ice cold in the middle. Called the restaurant they said they steamed the dumplings for 15 minutes and didn’t know what happened. Staff was polite, apologetic and offered free wontons for the next meal but I was so disgusted by the raw meat texture that I don’t want anything to do with this restaurant ever again. Had to call the second time when I found egg shells pieces floating in the ramen. Ugh! I didn’t want any extra stuff. I just want them to know this happened and serious look into their kitchen. Basic food safe! Talked to Skip and got full refund. Can’t critique the taste because I throw all the food away. Update. Noodle house issue a $10.00 voucher through Skip the next day so that I can use towards a future order with them. Still don’t want to go there but edit my review to 2 stars because they tried to fix it.
We had our anniversary dinner at zen we loved the food very much we enjoyed it but the service is not that great on that day and food was awesome We had Nasi Goreng(fried rice) -9/10 Fried chicken wontons-8/10 Tom yam soup -9/10 Wonton chicken soup 7.5/10
The Hakka noodles with chicken continue to be one of THE best dishes in this town. I have to give a rave review to this restaurant tonight. There was some confusion with my pick up order, I was told it would be 30 minutes and decided to see if I could dine-in instead. It still hadn't been started when I arrived half hour later - they had been hit with a big rush of orders and it got missed. They were sincerely apologetic and went above and beyond to make up for it. My food came out steaming hot, perfectly seasoned, the staff were so kind to me, and I swear it's somehow even more delicious than normal. I will come back many times! Come hungry, the portions are very generous too 😊
Overall an excellent place to have lunch. Service was outstanding.
Delicious food and great service.
We had a delightful lunch there today. Its one of our favourite restaurants.
Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options indicated on menu Food
Superb selection of outrageously tastey Asian dishes. The staff is very friendly and the prices are totally reasonable for this quality of culinary delights.
Was visiting friends. Were from the lower mainland. They suggested Zen Noodle house. Was impressed by the courteous and helpful staff. We started with the chicken spring rolls. Hot and delicious. My wife had the chicken sizzler which arrived sizzling and hot. I had the Nasi Goring with prawns. Perfectly spiced and large portions. Did not have room for dessert. Will return when back in PG.
The Ramen broth was very greasy. Egg was very salty. Noodles were good I don t think I d order that dish again.
Highly Recommended. Everything was just right for us. Very tasty food (one vegetarian), good portions, very nice and friendly staff, good atmosphere.
One of my fav restraunts in PG. Excellent food!
Very poor customer service, I was asked to wait 40 mins for my take out order, even after waiting for 50 mins, when I inquired about my order they have to even started. If you have other plans for the day don t got there!
Cost effective. Clean. Courteous.
Courteous and patient staff served up a great pregame meal for my daughter during her ball tournament. Very comfortable atmosphere located in a rough neighbourhood.
We ate here tonight. Service was awesome, waiter went above and beyond. Food was amazing as well, cooked to perfection! I wish I could give more stars, I was that impressed and I am picky.
Worth every penny
Great food, excellent service, very clean place. I ordered the server recommended noodles and veggies sizzler with beef. It came out SIZZLING HOT and was absolutely delicious. You could tell everything was made fresh. HIGHLY recommend!
This was the first time there! I had a great one on one talk with a great friend and they were great! We actually stayed past the closing time. #greatfriends #goodtimes
I have one complaint. You guys need to do better with your take out packaging. When someone orders a Phò to go.... serve the noodles dry in a separate container so that it doesnt turn to mush. So disappointing to pay 40 bucks for something that looks and tastes like Baby food. Fix the packaging and this problem goes away. There is another store in town that figured it out. Ill be ordering from there until this is fixed.
Amazing food
Visited Friday evening around 6.45. Food was great, Tibetan Momo was really good. The service was great and friendly. Food did take a while to come out but I was on no rush. I would definately revisit.
I ordered the 10oz steak and it was wonderful asked for medium rare and got it to perfection the steak was incredibly juicy very nice potatoes and the shrimp on top was wonderful with a smokey flavour for one of the starters theyre all amazing but i enjoyed the calamari the most definetly try it
Amazing food and staff, another hidden gem in prince george. One of my top 3 places to eat at while your here. I usually get the nasi goreng definitely wrote that wrong but its a fried rice with chicken and shrimp to die for
We order Pho Beef bone broth 24 hrs boiling, with tempura fish n Chip with xtra yam very good food
Got takeaway. Ramen was had no flavour, egg was well cooked but tasted like straight soy, pork again well cooked but zero flavour. Siu mai dumplings were sub par to say the least. Maybe dinning in would be better?
nice plant based options:)
Excellent food and service
not an Asian restaurant, had never even heard of any Asian beers and carry none, white run and white owned. Skip the appropriative branding and support actual Asian community, look for other restaurants in town.
Delicious selection of food. The chef brought our entrées to us. Friendly service. Definitely will be going back and will be ordering takeout from here going forward. My husband said it was the best steak he ever ate.
Excellent service. Such good food for a totally reasonable price!!
The food was boring. It just tasted like a stirfry from home in store bought sauce. Overpriced.
Great flavors and a nice ambient atmosphere, I recommend them for everyone Wheelchair accessibility: Good access Food : 5/5 |
Finally tried their take out today and was not disappointed! Huge portions and amazing flavor. Will definitely make it a go to lunch spot.
Very good restaurants excellent food excellent service would recommend to go there
That was really good! I wasn t expecting much going in, but the noodles were fantastic! I d go back in a heartbeat. Thank you!!
The food is amazing my mouth is watering just thinking about it. We had a party of 10 and all of us had an unforgettable experience. Not only was the food delicious but the service was top notch. We had the pleasure of meeting the chief and the owner they both came out to see if we were satisfied and if we wished to order any special dish they would be more than happy to accomidate . We were on spring break from Vancouver and now we have a good reason to visit PG again.
Good food great waitress
Amazing food everytime. Zen is a fave with our whole family and often requested for birthdays and special events.
Zen is a great spot when you want a delicious meal in a relaxed environment in PG, away from some of the noisier and larger restaurants around town. Highly recommend for the food, service, and value.
Starting from appetizers to the main dishes, everything was amazing. Also a great service.
Food was great, the atmosphere is a little bit dated. We had to get up to ask our server for cutlery and napkins which was annoying. Overall well be going back just because of the food quality
Good tasty food.
Amazing food!
My fiance and I went there for a nice dinner out,and we were not disappointed. We were greeted by our server and promptly seated in a nice booth. We were brought water right away, and when asked about their mocktail selection, were given a small, but delicious selection to choose from. I ordered a virgin strawberry daqhuiri, and my fiance had a virgin caesar. Both drinks were good, but the caesar was a bit too spicy. We took our time with the menu and werent rushed to order. I ordered the Shanghai noodle bowl and my fiance had the beef and broccoli. Both meals were delicious and worth the price. We both left the restaurant feeling full, and my fiance had leftovers for the next day. It was her first time there, and my second time there, and we were both very happy. Their menu lists how spicy a menu item is, along with information on which choices were vegan, or gluten-free. They also have a kids menu. If youre not in a rush, stop by and check out this local gem Parking: Typical downtown Prince George psrking. There is free three hour parking on the streets, or you can find a lot and pay. Youre also a bock away from the downtown transit exchange.
Overall great
Food is okay.
Very good food
Surprised at finding this little gem. Food and service was outstanding. Prices were better here than at other places for same type of dishes. Food was cooked to perfection and very tasty. Will go again.
Food was delocious, interesting and hot! Would go again!
Always my go to for quality, hot food! Chefs are friendly, wait staff attentive.
The food is fresh and made with care. You can tell that the ingredients are high quality. We had great service and enjoyed our food. Left with a to-go container because the portions were quite large!
Food excellent, wait time a little long between courses.
Tulip shaped delicate siao mi.. satay with a thick.. succulent peanut sauce...Perfectly seared ahi tuna with a black sesame crust and ginger Wasabi to add spice and tang over jasmine rice and Asian vegetable medley. Asian soy and honey glazed sizzling salmon.. it is a fusion of perfect flavors .. exotic and sensual with an incredible depth and complexity. Our 28th wedding anniversary turned into one of the most perfect evenings of our dining experiences. Wonderful servi.. both elegant and welcoming. Treated to a coconut custard with low sourced fresh fruit and light fluffywhipped cream.a true gem in the North. unexpected abd memorable!
Excellent place!
Food is Zen-tastic! My husband an I ate here last night. The atmosphere was enjoyable, and it was a full house of seemingly happy patrons. Our servers were upbeat, responsive and gave my husband a wonderful recommendation for his meal. The food was light, tasty and some of the best food we ve had on our trip back from Edmonton to our home in B.C. Will we stop in again?! Yes, next time we re in town!!
Excellent food always, a favorite place to dine in Prince George
See delicious food and friendly service.
A great place to relax & eat after a day on the road if youre staying at the Travelodge.
Unreal ramen
The best hakka noodle, and fried rice! Update. I had a very bad meal here that made me sick. I messaged the owners via FB messenger and they would not respond. I believe it was from the sauce of another entre, not the one above.
I ve been here twice so far and the service and the food is always phenomenal. The presentation is consistently beautiful, and the food is freakin delicious. Hands down my favourite place to eat in Prince George! I will be back again and and again, and I will not hesitate to recommend this gem of a place to anyone.
We have been here twice now, and both times it has been an exceptional experience. First time we were guests at the Travelodge and they let us have dessert even after they were closed! This time we brought my parents who came to visit from out of town. They loved everything they had. We will constantly recommend this little gem of a restaurant to everyone. Definitely my favorite restaurant in PG.
Excellent service! Food tasted great, very flavourful! Solid four star restaurant.
Great food. Especially if you like it spicy
Delish food and great service!!
Consistently delicious food, but the service quality fluctuates from satisfactory to disappointing.
Came for a relatively late dinner around 7pm with my coworker. Wasnt too hungry so ordered an appetizer. Place was pretty busy so food did take awhile to come out, but to wait 45 - 50 mins for an appatizer is pretty disappointing. Also, probably the most expensive Xiu Mai Ive ever had, and it was alright but probably wouldnt order it again. On the other hand, my coworker had to wait for another 10 - 15 mins but she loved her food. Seems like any of the noodles are a good choice. Overall, if this is a normal day for them, I probably would just get take out next time and order in advance.
Food was fantastic waiter was one of the friendliest guys I have ever met. 10/10 will be back next time I m driving through this city
The food and atmosphere was very good! I was impressed by the quality of the food. Will definitely be going again.
The chicken wonton soup is the best Ive ever had.
My son loved the ramen ++. Great kids meals. And my noodles were great. Excellent experience. Highly recommend.
We stayed in the Travelodge on 7th while on a visit so decided to try out the Zen restaurant, and were amazed. Our server Faye was absolutely lovely so very knowledgeable about the dishes, and really made us very feel welcome. We enjoyed one of the best meals in BC, going for the salmon and Nasi Goreng (a perfect combination as the salad worked well with the heat of the rice) . Then back to try the Moroccan Sizzler, enjoyed with Nasi Bakmi all absolutely incredible. I highly recommend this wonderful place!!
I had Nasi Goreng It was sooooooo good. Coming for more. Food : 5/5
Really good food here. I had a sandwich with thinly sliced beef, peppers, carrots and Korean bulgogi sauce. It was amazing! The staff were nice, my food was brought out in a reasonable time, and you could tell by the presentation and cleanliness of the restaurant that they really take pride in their work. You should definitely go here. Came back a second time and had the Hong Kong style diced chicken. It was amazing! Even better than the last time I came. Highly recommend it
Absolutely delicious dinner!
We were able to get a table right away. Quiet atmosphere and friendly service. The food took a long time considering there werent many people in the restaurant, but it was delicious. One person found her dinner very spicy, take the chili warnings on the menu seriously.
By no means authentic - fusion with a PG twist but portions are great and the food is certainly tasty.
Excellent food and service. Very clean and friendly!
Awesome place to eat. Great food, great service, great drinks. Highly recommend.
This place has the trifecta of great service, great food, great drinks! Also very reasonable prices, generous portions, nice quiet atmosphere, and friendly staff. We will be back for sure!
Stopped here for dinner after a long drive. The service was excellent. Our server Greg had lots of different suggestions and options to try, and gave my friend and I lots of information about the menu and its options. I personally love spice, and it definitely made my decision on what to order a bit easier. They have lots of really good options, along an easy to read heat informant for spice levels. I was also pleased to see vegan, gluten free and dairy free options. Did not try any of the dessert menus, but the mandarin one really peaked my curiosity. I opted to go for the Ramen, which is a popular choice for the restaurant Im told. I ordered it with a level 2 spice. Honestly the meal was worth every penny. Broth was well seasoned, vegetables still had texture. Noodles were perfect. The pork belly was crisp and delicious. The heat level was just perfect for me. I can handle hot/spicy foods, but was looking for something spicy but not overwhelmingly so. A very satisfying dish packed with nutrients. I didnt feel hungry at all until well into mid-morning/close to afternoon the next day. Will definitely return in the future, and recommend it to friends and people I know passing through the area.
Staying at the hotel that was right next door and wanted something close. I would absolutely recommend this place if youre a fan of Thai food. Very generous portions with the shrimp and chicken as well.
Amazing and Delicious is how we would describe our friends at Zen Noodle House & Sizzler. The Zen team went over and above for us for a catering order for our team - the food and service were fab and they also met all of our teams dietary restrictions. Highly recommend!
Sui mai was good, broth for won ton soup was delicious however the won tons werent as flavourful as I would like.
One of the better meals Ive had in a long time. Thank you Greg for the follow up call....great customer service!
Service was friendly. I got the korean bulgogi sandwich and it was delicious! I chose the mixed greens as the side and it was ok, could have been better. Some of the greens were not as fresh as I would have liked. Steamed vegetables would have been better as a side.
Good food,lots of flavor
This is a real gem! The food is just perfect. My husband and I had a three course meal each and all courses were well done. Great work on the chefs side :)
Delicious Asian inspired food, very good and had excellent service
Fast and friendly service, delicious food!
Its really good for the price. Especially kids menus are good. The portions are large.
Best super ever.
I had the orange pork and wife had the beef and broccoli. Started with the chicken wonton soup everything amazing , great customer service. The carrots were carved pretty. I highly recommend Zen noodle house
Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options Dietary restrictions: Gluten free options Wheelchair accessibility: Sloped entry
Absolutely first rate service and delicious food. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Excellent food. Good value for the money. Spicing grades are accurate. Overall a great take out experience!
Been here quite often. The Udon and Haka Noodles are the best.
Interesting place!
Delicious !
Beautiful presentation and wonderful food. First batch of coffee was a bit cool
The food was very tasty and well prepared and presented. Prices were very reasonable! Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian stir fries and soups Kid-friendliness: Family oriented
Great food. Nice combination of spicing and flavors
Food is really good and service is great it just took a long time to get meals to our table. If youre in a hurry you might want to try another option.
My go to for quick hot lunch or when too tired to cook after work can t get enough a must try if you haven t already
Excellent Service and very decent prices. They accommodated my keto diet very easily without any hesitation. Food was good, could have used a tad more flavour is all.
Our favorite restaurant. They have good food and my favorite on their menu is the Nasi Goreng
This place was absolutely delicious. Nice, clear, quiet place. Would recommend
Ramen was sooo good
Absolutely amazing food! Cant wait to go back
We went there in the evening of June 1. I had Tempura Cod which was one of the best deep-fried fish I had ever had since I came to Canada. Both wasabi mayo and ponzu sauce were subtle and delicate. Thai coconut custard was so good; it had the perfectly mild sweetness to finish a supper without feeling overwhelmed. Best service and food!
The Haka Noodles with shrimp are the best. The service was excellent, nice to go out and eat its been a year! Support the locals again
Amazing food and great service.
Staff was friendly and the food is amazing! Its not my usual fare when choosing restaurants, but this was a great choice. Would have rated 5 stars, but service was quite slow. Atmosphere was decent.
Huge portions, unbeatable flavour
This is the 2nd day Ive called for take out at dinner time. Absolutely no take out orders or skip the dishes. Absolutely disappointing
Absolutely disappointing. No take out orders or skip the dishes for days Now Just called. 3rd day in a row. Im not gonna keep trying
Food and service was awesome
Went for the first time and didnt liked it. Ambiance was ok but my noodles was burnt up. The garlic sauce was just on the edges of the noodles from the center it was completely dry. I appreciate all the work the chef done but how can some forget to add some salt in the dish.. disappointed
I have never had anything but great food here. Highly recommend!
This place is a gem! The food is fresh and delicious and cooked perfectly. I could eat here every day and still want more! Excellent service by management and staff!
Delicious, recommend either goreng or the Tibetan thukpa both are very good as well if you like spicy ask for an extra chili
I have never been into the restaurant but have ordered take out from Skip the Dishes 3 times. I love everything I have ordered. Its different and unique, and different spins on my favourite food. The wontons can be deepfried, pork steam buns into sandwhiches and brioche buns with crispy chicken and kimchi. This place is somewhere you might overlook for takeout, but should try atleast once.
Have multiple take out experience with this restaurant. Food are always good.
We had a great dinner. Theres lots of interesting things on the menu. I look forward to going back and trying somthing new.
Wonderful service as well as a beautiful lunch. I plan on eventually trying everything in their menu.
Great little place for lunch. Try the Bakmi Goreng is you want a dish thats a little more spicy.
Great food and great service every time
Love this place . Haukka Noddles are always on my mind. Great service and very clean.
It s really really good. Definitely try the Hakka noodles. They re delicious!
Excellent experience.
Wow. Wandered in to a quiet restaurant on a Saturday evening and was blown away by the food quality and flavour! The staff are lovely and the chef very pleasant and eager to deliver good food! Give it a try!
Another excellent meal and friendly service as always! Thank you all so much!
Wonderful place, good atmosphere and even better food! Consistent through and through and staff are *always* pleasant. Just go and try it!!
ALWAYS a pleasure to eat there. Good food, good service, good atmosphere. A household favorite.
I tried the food here for the first time and loved it! I got the veggie spring rolls and tofu/vegetable stir fry it was delicious. Im vegan and really appreciate the options. I ordered from skip the dishes and I really appreciated that the vegan meals were marked as so!
Very good food and good price
Went with wife many times, boss level!.....everything!!...
Just the best in town.
Edited as of Nov 2020 - still amazing food, prices and service! I always get greeted warmly when visiting, and the food is amazing when I order it for delivery. 100% worth every penny and my favourite restaurant in Prince George. They do delivery, so dont order from skip to save yourself some money and give the restaurant more of a cut!
Staff are nice, friendly and helpful. They adjusted a meal so that it could be Vegetarian for me. Food is delicious and good quality.
picked up lunch today and both loved it. Will be back
Great food.
Excellent noodles; dim sum was great, corn soup ok. Great service and ambiance.
Awesome food, and good service
Food is always served fresh, and amazing service always.
Only GREAT experiences at this restaurant. They have great food, service, and their prices match the quality/quantity of food. We recently did a large take-out, lunch, order for 8+ people and everyone loved their meals. They packaged it so it was easy to carry and were also very good with communicating over the phone. If I would recommend a dish, it would be their pork Bao buns and Hakka noodles!
What a pleasant surprise, food and service was amazing. Would recommend to anyone.
Great service. And many gluten free options.
Good food. Different variety menu. Friendly service.
Great food
Excellent place, very tasty Mongolian steak sizzler, great ramen and chicken skewer appy. Real close authentic and very attentive and friendly staff. Thumbs up place! I just wished they are open full hours on weekends. :)
Food was fantastic. The service was very good and fast.
Saturday afternoon lunch at Zen Noodle House. Its kinda hidden gem in PG at corner of 7th ave and Brunswick. Found it and totally worth it! Food is amazing. Started with dim sum and chicken dumpling sooo good. EVERYTHING is made FRESH! Had the Tibeatan Thupka and OMG soo yummy! Peach mandarin for dessert!! Im coming here anytime Im in PG!
Best service Ive seen in a long a time, food was insane and absolutely worth the price
Very tasty cuisine is served here. Fresh ingredients are used. The seasoning and flavors used are very balanced. You will leave here very satisfied
Great place to have lunch!
Food was awesome. Staff was awesome. Price and portions where awesome.
Delicious.
My favourite place to eat in PG. I work very close by and eat here at least once a week. Best wonton soup I have ever eaten! Everything else I have tried is also phenomenal!
Really good food and service
This place is very good overall, although when I came here it was quite busy with only one waitress. It took over 40 Mins untel the appys arrived, the appys are very good and reasonably priced. I had the ramen it was quite good although it had to much pork belly. That may sound like a wierd complaint but I couldnt even eat the rest of my ramen. 2 pork belly slabs that are 1 inch thick each is way too much, I probably will come here again but I wont be ordering the ramen.
Finally made it here and will definitely return. Delicious, different, and darn good service. A wide variety of interesting South Asian fusion dishes that the waiter explained and made recommendations. Both of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals and were completely satisfied. The sangria was yummy too. Lovely, calming music in the background. Ahhhh.....zen......
food is great. service is outstanding. the venue itself is a good size and has great lighting. price is a little more expensive but well worth it
Ive went to Zen around 7 times at this point, and although Ive sampled some of the other meals they have, I end up ordering the exact same thing everytime, and every time, its as delicious as the first time, and until such a time that I get sick of it, that will likely continue. The Hakka Noodles with shrimp are a 6/5 for me, and I would highly recommend them!
Really good food and service and the price wasnt to bad either.
This little restaurant is a great addition to the local food scene. The Bao buns were amazing! I highly recommend this place.
Ive been here twice and both times the food has been delicious and the service has been awesome. I would definitely recommend to friends and family.
Was in for the first time about a week ago. Great food and service, atmosphere is nice for visiting.
