Zen Noodle Bar: Reviews & Ratings
This place hit the spot. The food was fresh, well balanced, and the service was fast too. Id surely recommend.
Was craving some warm soupy comfort food and decided to give this place a try. We ordered the beef wrap, the devils braised beef noodle soup, and the spicy minced pork noodle soup. The broths were spicy but not overpowering, and very flavorful. Will definitely come back for more!
Delicious food! I had wonton soup and pan fried buns.
A fairly affordable, filling place to scratch your Asian noodle itch with extra dim sum options on top! ...
Environment was not the best. Otherwise, I find this to be extremely underrated, definitely one of the most authentic shanghai food Ive had in a while! It deserves to be in a better location!
Nothing fancy but their dishes always remind me the taste of home. The food portion is pretty big. Great for sharing! Bald pan fried buns is a must! Its more like a upgrade version of original ...
Food is great, we enjoyed the beef roll and the mapo tofu.
This place makes the best pan fried pork buns Ive had in the Bay Area. I love this place!
