Aug 10 2017..truly enjoyed everything about our meal at Zen..waitress was great sushi was very good, the walnut shrimp was an impressive meal, there was a large group being seated as we arrived but we were seated quickly and our waitress provided much better than average service. we order two different sushi rolls, both were absolutely delicious and we ordered the walnut shrimp, the shrimp were very large, perfectly breaded and cooked, served on top of a generous amount of fresh broccoli and fried rice then covered with a creamy sauce that was amazing... our drinks were always full and every bite was delicious...prices were reasonable for such a quality meal, a very nice surprise in the heart of osage beach
Best Chinese at the lake since the Camdenton restaurant has gone down hill. Sushi is ok, but can get better at deirbergs if you ask the guy for specifically what you want. However, the wonton soup has the best broth, and for the price not actually crap Chinese take-out that you find from most buffets! Good find down here.
Kathy. This is the best Asian food at the Lake!!!
We go every time we come down.
Excellent!. Our favorite restaurant! Everything we've had here is great, including Hibachi. Lunch is the best value and you get so much food! Delicious!
Food and presentation was very good. Price was good. However atmosphere was lacking and waiter down-right rude. They offer sushi but we were not offered menu so can't comnent on that. We would go back and hope for different waiter.
A lot of food for a decent price. My wife and two daughters split a meal and there were leftovers. Food was good, not fantastic. We will try others before going back. Not bad though.
Best Chinese at the lake. Sushi is great. Never tried the habachi but can not wait to. Service is a bit sad but the food makes up for it.
Don't let the exterior of this place fool you. We reluctantly went here on the recommendation of locals and were pleasantly surprised. They have a hibachi grill and sushi for dinner. Very reasonable prices and huge portions. The food was so good we came back for lunch. Most items on the lunch menu were $5 with huge portions as well. Give this place a chance if you're spending any time at the lake.
One of the best restaurants at the Lake! Despite the exterior look, inside is a very nice atmosphere, excellent food, beautifully presented. My favorite!
Zen is my favorite place for take out. I only wish they were open later. Service is friendly food is always fresh and more than enough.
This is our favorite Chinese place at the lake (takeout only). Watch out for the lady guarding the door 😜. The general chicken is the perfect blend of spicy and sweet.
Delicious food and good service. My teriyaki chicken was delicious. Lo Mein beef was delicious. General Chicken was too spicy! Crab rangoons were delicious. Definitely Recommend!
The food is very good and has a good quality to it. The owner she is absolutely wonderful and is very nice. Would recommend to anyone that likes real authentic chinese.
This used to be one of the best restaurants at the lake for dining in, please return this. You would make enough money and people obviously want this based on the reviews and Lake talk. I understand it’s your restaurant so please do what you want with it, but if you aren’t ever going to let us enjoy the food in person again, then take “dine in” off of Google. It’s not acceptable in the modern age, this can be viewed as click bait and may upset your customers. It’s summer, time to open those shutters.
Best fried rice in the area. The fried rice is delicious. Very flavorful not oily or mushy. Just delicious, that being said I'm used to the typical rice to go boxes packed out with rice. The price is typical to what I'm used to paying, so that's not an issue. Just wish they gave you a bit more. Because it's sooo good!
We enjoyed our yellow curry entrees very much and are anxious to try other menu items. Very delicious with fair prices. Take out only at this time.
Great food and service! A surprising find at the lake. Would highly recommend.
They claim to have Springfield style cashew chicken ...it is close. I wish they didn't cut the chicken like they do. Just make smaller chunks lol . And less garlic in the sauce would be almost perfect . Much better then my last experience. Update from 1 to 5 stars.
Great food, awesome service! We tried another place that served a buffet, saw the food and left! Some of the best food we've had in a while!
The best on the lake I can find. I'm from Omaha so I'm spoiled with great Asian food.
Excellent Asian food. Love the potstickers and Hunan.
Delicious! Currently to-go only, but worth it! We ate their meals a few times while on holiday.
Sesame chicken, Generals chicken, lo mein, and crab ragoons ! It was all very good! The waitress was very nice and friendly!! 10/10
The food is good .take out only .no inside dining at this time.
I have reviewed Zen several times. It is reliably excellent, at least for Chinese food in Mid-Missouri. Currently they remain carry-out only, ever since the start of the pandemic. Their Hunan beef is my favorite. I usually also get a side of gyoza. My daughter is a vegan and enjoys their tofu broccoli, tofu kung pao, and vegetable lo mein. She usually helps her gets the veggie spring rolls. My son likes the General Tso's chicken. My wife usually gets one of the tofu dishes, and likes the hot and sour soup, egg rolls, and excellent crab rangoon. I also have had excellent sushi in the past, though I haven't had it recently. No complaints. Food is usually ready very fast and is reasonably priced.
