Great food! Hospitality is great. Staff is friendly, great customer service. Love coming here for a quick bite! I recommend the pad Thai (your choice of protein or plain) with medium spice. Also recommend the eel and avocado roll. Lots of parking spaces, more then enough.

The food was really good. I always try out every Thai restaurant when I get the chance, and this one ranks pretty high on my list. Everything I ordered was good, but I tried my wife’s curry and it was outstanding! I will definitely go back the next time I am in the area!

Did not expect a place that offers two different cuisine types to be excellent at either one, but they are. I got sushi (Zen roll) and it was the best sushi I’ve had in the St Louis region. It was even better than the sushi I used to get when I lived in Seattle where there are tons of sushi restaurants. Can not wait to go back here.

Amazing Thai food. The red curry is solid but level 5 is quite spicy ! Sushi only if you must, the Thai is what you come for !!

I really liked how the quality of the food was. Very fresh. Very well presented. Taste was on point. I didnt want to cook tonight and wanted some comfort food. So me and my husband wanted to try this new place out and its a winner!!! You can tell how good this place is with the constant to go orders and people coming in to eat! I definitely would recommend it!

This was my first time eating at Zen and let me tell you, the food was delicious!!! I had the shrimp green curry and it was one of the best curry’s I’ve had in a long time . And I’ve had a lot of curry’s. I also got an order of crab rangoon, also delicious and the dipping sauce that comes with it was sweet and tasty. With my order I also received miso soup and two spring rolls (I had no clue that came with my curry order ), but happy it did because those two items were also delicious!!! I can tell heart and soul goes into this delicious meal I had cook for me , it was very authentic. I will be coming back!
