The food is consistently delicious, with standout dishes including beef and green beans, wings, salad, orange chicken, beef teriyaki, sesame chicken, shrimp Lo mein, crab rangoon, and egg rolls. The service is friendly and attentive, although some customers have noted that it can be less desirable at times.

Ordered for my first time yesterday. So thankful for another gluten free option in Portland. The orange chicken might be the best I’ve ever had (GF and non). Beef teriyaki also very good. Will be coming back!

As someone who is gluten intolerant, I have a deep appreciation for Zen and its management. Not only are most dishes gluten-free, but they are also made with high quality, FRESH ingredients (for instance, dishes do not contain MSG). I order from here at minimum once a week, and I have to say it is the most consistent restaurant in the area. The food is always top quality, the atmosphere is chic and spotless, and the management could not be any sweeter. My recommendations: hot...read full review
