Zen Gardens

Absolutely delicious!! I felt like I was in heaven ✨
The customer service was amazing, and the restaurant was very peaceful and relaxing - great vibes!

This is a vegetarian place with awesome Asian food!! Everything we ordered was packed with veggies and you could taste the high quality of the veggies. My most favorite thing was the sizzling mushroom dish. I wasn’t aware mushrooms can be like this.

We later were informed the cuisine doesn’t even have garlic or onion to cater to as wide an audience as possible. That’s crazy- to have such good tasting food with some of the ingredients we thought as absolutely essential to Asian cooking.

The staff was also really nice and friendly. The moment we got it our kid had his bowl and his spoon and fork! The vegetarian fried rice was perfect for him.

This is one of the few places I would go again and again and try everything else we didn’t order.

We went at around 1230 noon and my wife wasn’t too hot on the place since the place was empty. lol. I insisted we still go for it. The place filled up rather quickly shortly after.

After doing takeouts due to COVID, I finally dined in with non a vegan visitor from out of town. Smaller menu but favourites are still there per my photo; salted veggie croquette, fry flat rice noodle with bean sprouts..., basil eggplant pot n kaikan with king mushroom. All done well. Service is not intrusive.
The pandemic did change the restaurant business, especially vegan ones. Restaurants n customers got used to takeouts. My favourite in Markham closed recently. So let's be supportive!

Very good Chinese vegetarian restaurant. Food tastes light and right. Lot of variety, even Japanese sushi. The fried rice and fried noodles are very good. The soup is just ok only.
The restaurant is big. Came on a weekend, and it is 60% or 70% full. Deco is cozy, clean and tidy.
Lot of parking spaces.
Highly recommended for vegetarian.

Zen Gardens is a beautiful vegetarian restaurant to visit. The atmosphere was relaxing, and they had a lot of variety on their menu. There are so many dishes I wanted to try! I ordered the salt and pepper fried tofu which was great. I also had the pine nut fried rice which was delicious. The service was incredible, very attentive staff. They are also selling moon cakes now which are a very tasty addition to the meal. I would highly recommend the moon cakes and the taro (or red bean) sesame ball.

This is a great place for vegetarians amd vegans! Lot of options. It's so rare to find an Asian (Japanese,Chinese n misc cuisine) restaurant which is almost completely vegetarian. We tried the miso soup (without dashi/fish) with silken tofu and seaweed. It was warm. We also tried dimsum (so soft!) , sweet n sour bites with pineapple, soy nuggets were crispy...sushi was not personally our favorite..we tried mango sushi and didn't like it as it was sticky and smelly ( that's how it's supposed to be though). Radish cake and udon noodles were also nice. Quantity and price was reasonable. Must try if you are a vegetarian or newly vegan and love to explore other cuisine.

I would say the food are decent, but before pandemic, they used to have a lot more variety and options. My favorite vegetarian Sashimi is no longer available, and the service and atmosphere is not there. They place is hot and they didn't turn on the A/C , there are 5 tables with customers yet they didn't turn any lights on at all. I love vegetarian food, but I will not come back for the super high price with zero service and poor atmosphere.

If you are vegan/vegetarian but don't want to lose out on authentic flavors Zen Gardens is the place for you.. We liked the atmosphere the food very much. Service can be bit slow and they don't come ask you about the food or if we need anymore unless you call them, but with current scenario I can live with it.

We ordered few soups, appetizers and main course dishes. Overall food was really flavourful and right amount of spiciness whee the dish said it will be spicy.
