I think this place is great if you’re gluten sensitive or just wanting eat gluten free. However, if you have Celiac, and especially if you’re symptomatic, I would choose another restaurant. I had the sesame chicken and brown rice (which was delicious), but got sick a few hours after finishing the meal.
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 & sour soup, Singapore rice noodles, moo goo gai pan, sweet & sour chicken, orange chicken, Chinese bok choy, Szechuan string beans, and sesame chicken
food was absolutely delish! waitress was knowledgeable and made sure proper care was tooKen with my order. thought it was a bit costly though.
I took my niece who has celiac here... She was thrilled to be able to enjoy all of the dishes we ordered. The menu is clearly marked with many GF selections and the dishes we ordered were all carefully made so NO stomach problems! The food was delicious! We have been to this restaurant numerous times and have greatly enjoyed every meal. I highly recommend the Zen Chinese Bistro!
I have to say, beside having a menu that clearly articulates GF dishes, the food was probably the best authentic Chinese I have had in years. Great staff as well.
Just remember to ask for the GF soy sauce for the table.
Great place.
Zen Chinese Bistro is a gourmet, healthy and delicious Chinese restaurant. They offer a HUGE selections of GLUTEN FREE choices. Everything on the menu is well marked for GLUTEN FREE, and it is very helpful. They use a lot of local sources for their entrees so it is very fresh. The food is fresh, healthy and delicious. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
I love, love, love Zen Chinese Bistro! I've gotten take-out several times, and dine-in once. The GF selection is fantastic, especially for a Chinese restaurant. I've never had a bad reaction here, for which I am so thankful. The staff is so wonderful—always warm and welcoming. Oh, and the Chicken with Ginger & Scallion is to die for!
Big portions and good prices. I had the Kung Pao Chicken, it was great! Their selection of gluten free is pretty good, though most of it includes items that don't contain gluten in general. But, the fact that they are aware of GF is a big plus! I'll definitely eat there again! The staff was friendly, the service was quick, and the ginger mojito was delicious!
