Zen Gardens is one of the best vegetarian restaurants in the area. I’ve been dining here for many years and every experience has been peaceful, relaxing, and satisfying. Great atmosphere overall. Prices have definitely gone up post-pandemic, but that seems to be the case everywhere. The menu has also changed, but we were informed that this is the case because of Covid. The hot and sour soup + jasmine tea is delicious, and I love the crispy soy fritters, fried bean curd, and fried noodle dishes. We also purchased multiple boxes of the pineapple cake and were super impressed.

I ordered a couple of dishes including the sushi platter for take away and it was great! The sushi was really good and I would definitely recommend it! I loved the tofu one and the avocado one was great as well. Overall really enjoyed the food!Vegetarian options: The restaurant is fully vegetarian!

This is a vegetarian place with awesome Asian food!! Everything we ordered was packed with veggies and you could taste the high quality of the veggies. My most favorite thing was the sizzling mushroom dish. I wasn’t aware mushrooms can be like this.We later were informed the cuisine doesn’t even have garlic or onion to cater to as wide an audience as possible. That’s crazy- to have such good tasting food with some of the ingredients we thought as absolutely essential to Asian cooking.The staff was also really nice and friendly. The moment we got it our kid had his bowl and his spoon and fork! The vegetarian fried rice was perfect for him.This is one of the few places I would go again and again and try everything else we didn’t order.We went at around 1230 noon and my wife wasn’t too hot on the place since the place was empty. lol. I insisted we still go for it. The place filled up rather quickly shortly after.

This is the best tasting food I have had at any vegetarian place. The dim sum items were delicious, especially the soy drumsticks and the sao mai. We also had the tom yang vermicelli soup and the stir king's mushrooms and broccoli which were both very good as well, the broth of the soup was full of flavor and the veggies were cooked perfectly.Will definitely be returning to try other dishes.Vegetarian options: This is an all vegetarian place.

After doing takeouts due to COVID, I finally dined in with non a vegan visitor from out of town. Smaller menu but favourites are still there per my photo; salted veggie croquette, fry flat rice noodle with bean sprouts..., basil eggplant pot n kaikan with king mushroom. All done well. Service is not intrusive.The pandemic did change the restaurant business, especially vegan ones. Restaurants n customers got used to takeouts. My favourite in Markham closed recently. So let's be supportive!Vegetarian options: Clearly marked vegan n vegetarian dishes
Vegetarian chinese and a great job at it. Had hot n sour soup (small size, actually a big portion IMO) , salt n pepper tofu(yumm, loved those onion bits), kung po tofu( i thought it would be kung pao so was expecting peanuts etc, this was yummm too), sushi platter( yummiest of all, really good flavors, loved the basil cucumber roll)Vegetarian options: it is a complete veg restaurant. Great options

This was first time visit to Zen Garden and it failed to impress by all means. We had booked the table but it seemed to be crowded for our group. The person who took the order was not at all smiling or cooperative while had attitude that was not suitable for hospitality industry. The dishes were ordered were not served properly. The server just kept the dishes on the table white didn't even ask if they can serve including soup bowls to individuals. They are missed to bring one dish even after waiting for more than 30 mins. This place is under renovation so some part is covered by black cloth. The food/dishes were not upto the mark from taste or quantity perspective. Over all bad experience so may not go every again.

Very good Chinese vegetarian restaurant. Food tastes light and right. Lot of variety, even Japanese sushi. The fried rice and fried noodles are very good. The soup is just ok only.The restaurant is big. Came on a weekend, and it is 60% or 70% full. Deco is cozy, clean and tidy.Lot of parking spaces.Highly recommended for vegetarian.
