Zen | Restaurant and Sushi Bar

Something I believe all delivery drivers have in common is we like when the food is done on time. I have never had to wait on my food, not once. When I dine in, the food comes out sometimes quicker than some of these fast food restaurants. The workers at this restaurant work and that tells me that they have good management and a good owner. The food is great and the service is better. If you haven’t tried them yet, I recommend that you do!!

Definitely some solid food here. This is one of the better Asian places in the area from what I've heard. They serve everything from Thai staples to sushi and Chinese entrees. They even have bubble tea (which may be a new addition to the menu, but I unfortunately didn't get a chance to try it). I did get to try the Pad Thai with tofu and Hulton sushi roll. I am a big fan of pad Thai, and this version was overall average. This place doesn't specialize in Thai food, so that might be why. They did make the tofu into thin chunks, and the tofu was crispy. It soaked up the pad Thai sauce well. You can control how much spice you want (this isn't listed on their website, but I was able to get a low spice pad Thai). Not too flavorful. They usually serve it with onions, but I asked to omit them. Portion is big but it's also more expensive than average. Good amount of flavorful eggs. Sauce is on the oily side. This is one of the few places that serves the peanuts on the side, so you can control how much of them you want. The Hulton roll was tasty, but nothing too memorable. $8 or $9 for 6 pieces, good deal. It was wired with soy sauce. Cut into smaller than average pieces. The fish on the inside was fried well, but it wasn't very flavorful. It usually comes with scallions but you can ask to omit them as well. The sauce on top was not plentiful, so you may find yourself needing to use the soy sauce often. Overall all, the place is decent. Their Thai food isn't the greatest; I assume they specialize more in Chinese food. The interior is beautiful, though, and the staff is very helpful and nice. Prices are on the higher end but nothing too excessive for Pittsburgh Asian food. The boba/bubble tea looked interested and I may try it at some point.

Great food. , they got a new chef and hopefully he continues to improve it. Service was a bit off with my appetizer coming at the same time as my main course. But I think they're working that out. It's also very much a dive bar with locals so not many people sit in the restaurant portion. Overall definitely worth a visit
