Restaurant was cold but the atmosphere was nice. The staff were quick to clear the table after each course, maybe just a bit too quick, most of the food was really nice and prices very reasonable.

Very good customer service. Attentive staff in a lovely atmosphere. Not generally huge fan of Chinese food but I will definitely be returning to Zen as both my vegetarian courses were delicious. A faultless night.

Always the best in Aberdeen for many years! The whole family who own and work there make it extra special, nothing is too much trouble, such as my extra sauce with my Chicken Satay last night! I love it!

Restaurant cold (warmed up hands on food warmers), not enough lighting to read menu where I was sat, mains took a while to be served and by which point, plates were cold. Food tasty enough but overpriced for quantity served.

Lovely food and pleasant staff. I will definitely go back again. It wasn't very busy but that is probably because it is January and a quiet time for restaurants.

Lovely restaurant, starters, deserts and wine were slightly overpriced, but mains were on average. Food was lovely, decent portion size, plenty of taste. Staff were attentive. Attractive decor and nice chilled ambiance. We will return next time we come to Aberdeen.

Excellent decor, ambience and service. The food was top notch and we thoroughly enjoyed it all. It was a bit quiet, i.e. lacking in atmosphere, but that was probably due to the road resurfacing outside which looked to be just about completed. We would go back.

Excellent Chinese meal with my son - first time at Zen Oriental. The crispy shredded lamb was something I hadn't seen before and was certainly very tasty. I'm not in Aberdeen often, but with such good food and a great location I'll definitely be there again.

The food was lovely, quick and fresh. Staff were very friendly too. The only down side I would say is that the music could've been a little bit louder, if there weren't a big table of people next to us, it would've been very quiet. Highly recommend.

The food was fine but having ordered a set meal for 4 people we found the servings very small. It was a busy Saturday night and being served by a harassed looking waitress didn't really make us feel relaxed. Mix ups with drinks and a long wait for those and the food left us feeling disappointed.

Great food and service! Lovely setting and ambience for a date night! Tucked away beside Bon Accord St Gardens, which adds to the restaurant's charm! We will definitely be back!
