I heard a lot about Zen, Hampstead so I decided to give it a try with two other friends. As we entered the restaurant, we were greeted by very friendly staff. The waiter took us to upstairs. Entering the upstairs was like entering in a different world….like sitting in old china, Qing Dynasty.
We ordered the mixed hor d'oeurves as starter. That was exceptionally good! The meal was followed by aromatic crispy duck. It was definitely one of the best that I had ever eaten. We also ate the kun po prawns, stir fried beef, ma po tofu, pak choi in oyster sauce and rice of course. We had a bottle of Pinot Grigio . It went very well with the meal.
Overall, the meal was exceptional and the service was great. The bill was reasonable but it was well worth the money. Zen, definitely is one of the best Chinese restaurants in London. Highly recommended!

Valentines 2006, shoot need to book something, well i would rather be in the dog house than go to this joint. Gents if you forget to book something next yr, dont try this place. Both my mrs and i are very fond of chinese food, esp Shenzen styled, this wasnt up to par. Sizzling lamb one our fav's was rubbery, grisly, need i go on? The rest of it looked as though it came from the local chinese cash and carry, not that im knocking these joints, the food you can get from these places if far better.
Service: as soon as we walked in, one waitress left us with no wine lists, no attempt to explain that there is an a la carte menu in addition to the mixed menu. Second waitress came back asking what we would like to drink, "a bit hard to decide without a menu my dear!" Ambience pleasant, quite a smart looking place, but thats about it. Try it for an experience, wouldnt go back in a hurry. Avg price £100 for two including a bottle of plonk.
