While I was waiting for my food they started putting these on my table
I love Japanese cuisine but I rarely go to Zen and I'm not planning to come back soon. I brunched here last week for only one thing - their crispy fried karaage. And if I ever visit again it would only be to satisfy the curiosity of dining in their mezzanine. I liked the ceiling of autumn red leaves though.
Zen has several positive reviews. But some complain that their steak arrived cold, and took too long to be served. I found what they were talking about when I came last week but didn't mind because I wasn't hungry and John Grisham is such a riveting storyteller. I did mind the fly that fluttered on the teacup. Bummer.
Zen Central Bangna is on the ground floor toward the end of the mall on your left if you get in from the main entrance. Prices are average. I paid around US$15 for a set meal and a dessert, no drinks; taxes included.
i like the striped cup--is it tea, or soup?:p

ReplyDeleteThat is a lovely cup.
ReplyDeleteOh my, it must have been a lovely meal. Thanks for sharing these beautiful blues.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday, Hazel.
It was, Sally, until that children's song 'shoo fly don't bother me' suddenly rang in my ears towards the end of the meal. But as far as looks go, yes, it was lovely :)
DeleteAt least you enjoy the beauty of this restaurant :)
ReplyDeleteA very nice and interesting post.
ReplyDeleteGreat place to dine.

Oh dear - looks very "Zen-like" but I would not like a fly on my teacup either.

Very colorful. I have several pretty little "fish" plates I've found at our local thrift store. The cup of tea looks inviting.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't sound like the best experience, but it did give you a post for the letter Z. Lovely place setting too.
ReplyDeleteMy japanese food desires are limited to sushi and sashimi only. This looks like zen.
ReplyDeleteHahaha may free song pa pala sis, you should have sung back and said "Don't bother me" lol. Kidding.

I honestly have never had Japanese food but I've always wanted to try it. Has to be white meat chicken though, that's all I eat.
ReplyDeleteI love that teapot. Sweet Z post.
