Passable. Avoid the siu mai! It is a frozen product available at Costco, etc. but not as good. Soft shell crab simply fried with a side sauce of simple plain soy. Really sorry to be so judgmental, but I'm simply getting tired of paying one hundred dollars for a few dumplings and noodles. read more

Stopped in for lunch with a work colleague last week. It's a lovely space tucked away in the far corner of the shopping center-I had no idea it was even there! When we arrived, we were told that the chef was running late (they open at noon but he still wasn't there by 12:30). We decided to wait and hope that we'd be able to be done with lunch in time for our next meetings. We were brought some edamame while we waited and then a less than friendly staff member took our order. We both had lunch special-mine was 9 pieces (3x each of salmon, yellowtail and tuna); my colleague had the three rolls of choice. I found the sushi to be mediocre; I'd probably stick to rolls or cooked stuff. Yes-we made it out in time. The really unfriendly vibe is what has me not rushing back anytime soon. read more

I order a lemongrass seafood soup amongst other things and the so called seafood soup had only one shrimp. The rest was imitation meat, mushrooms . The other item was totally tasteless. Don't waste your time or money. read more

disappointed with my recent takeout order. I paid $38 for a poke bowl that included tuna, rice, and mango. The bowl was not special and did not include a lot of tuna. I have ordered takeout a few times, and the sushi is just ok. After paying $50 for a California roll and poke bowl takeout, I don't plan to order from here again read more

Got takeout as our first time trying this place and it was a great surprise. Sesame chicken is great although on the smaller portion side, zucchini was surprisingly incredible, and the lo mein was the best- just noodles without all the extra random veggies. Rolls were average, but overall everything was solid! This place deserves the hype because it is much better than Tengda! read more

I was here recently for lunch with my husband and this was our second time since they had change in management or ownership a couple years ago. I was excited to try the chirashi here after seeing another Yelper's review and photo. Of course, I had my mind made up when I walked through the door. I ordered the chirashi without hesitation when the waiter was ready. This might have been the owner or manager because I could hear here telling her line staff orders from across the room in Cantonese. We were served the wonton soups that came with our lunch special immediately after ordering. It had a good variety of veggies and a handful of flavorful and plump wontons. I could see these wontons were wrapped in house as they were doing it in the booth seating right behind us. After about 15 minutes, my husband's order of crispy sesame chicken came. To our surprise, what followed next was plateful of char siu roast pork and rice! Apparently, the waiter who was so swift in taking our order mistook my order of chirashi for char siu. They took it away after some slight confusion and got the sushi chef who was in the middle of his break to make my chirashi order. After another 10 mins, my order finally arrived. Yes, I counted - 12 pieces of sashimi, each on a shiso leaf, laid on top of a bed of rice. Really beautiful presentation but as I got down to eating, it was clear that everything on a piece of shiso made it difficult to eat and no extra side plate left on the table for me to discard the garnish or leaves. I made do and the sushi was indeed very fresh. All in all, I was not really pleased by how long it took for everything to arrive. The restaurant only had three tables of customers and they did not have that many pick-up deliveries. And I was not too please about not even getting the slightest apology for the mix-up. She assured me that I'd be charged for a chirashi instead of the char siu. Woo-hoo! I get to pay a couple bucks more. The waiter didn't seem to give me any indication of how much longer it would take to give me my correct order. No consolation to hold me over for the added wait time. The people who worked at the front counter seemed to be more hospitable but this owner or manager who served me might not be the best example of customer service for her other wait staff to follow. read more

YESSIR!!! I LOVE Tzen Asian Bistro! You absolutely MUST order the Jellyfish Cucumber Salad if you are a fan of chewy sea creatures such as conch and octopus. And the Atlantic Roll is to die for. Usually, I like very simple rolls rather than special rolls, but this one is delicious. I'm not clear on whether this restaurant has new owners or is a rebranding/reopening. Some items seem the same, and I have always loved the restaurant in this specific location. I have never been there to eat in, but I order delivery, which is always prompt. Either way, give Tzen a go. You won't regret it! read more

This is a negative review on the delivery experience. I love the food here. Best sushi in the area. But the guy that delivers scared me. I accidentally left a "$0.05" tip on the app and told him I made a mistake, but that I would be changing it to "$5.00". He started shouting demanding cash. I apologized and let him know I didn't have any, and that I would change it on the app. I closed the door. 10 mins later he was shouting, and banging violently on the door. He eventually left when someone at the restaurant asked him to leave my property. This has been reported to Ridgefield Police. I love the food here, and even though the restaurant was kind enough to help get this driver off the property, I am publishing this review because I feel people should be aware of their delivery guy. read more

We were excited to try this place, as an alternative to Tengda. Unfortunately, the food was average to bad. The vegetable dumplings were tasty, star of the show. However, the Szechuan Crispy Shredded Beef was rubbery, literally like dried out shoe leather. There was nothing crispy about it. It was like chewing on rubber bands - just keep chewing and chewing, practically inedible. For $80 (2 appetizers, 1 soup, 2 entrées), they also don't even throw in a bag of crispy noodles. The restaurant was large but empty on a Sunday night, yet seemed busy, with a bunch of takeout bags at the door - maybe because they're the only game in town. We gave it a try, but won't be returning. read more

I ordered takeout from the prior restaurant (Haiku) and the new restaurant is better. Menu has more Chinese/dim sum options, and today I tried the 1/2 Peking duck and it was quite good. Came three ways -- with the pancakes, as moo shu style, and in a sushi roll. What a surprise as it is hard to get this dish outside of Manhattan. Would recommend for any day you don't want to cook read more

Of friend of mine recommended this place to us when we were traveling through the area. I was very grateful for his suggestion. The sushi here was terrific, nothing went to waste, the hot food also was incredible, the teriyaki chicken definitely hit the spot! The staff was very attentive and the place itself had a very welcoming atmosphere! Looking forward to going again and trying the rest of the way! read more

It was Sunday night and neither of us wanted to cook so we had heard about Tzen and decided to take the ride to Cross River from Somers. It's in the former site of Haiku and not much has changed except for the food which is so much more flavorful. The wonton soup was delicious both broth and wontons. The sesame noodles with peanut sauce was delicious. The pork dumplings were fried perfectly and the sauce was most flavorful. Tom ordered from the Kitchen Specialties menu Crispy Shredded Beef which he enjoyed. I appreciated the fact that the menu was organized so now you could order the vegetable you wanted, the sauce you wanted and the protein you wanted. So I ordered chicken, mixed vegetables, with Kung Pao sauce which has peanuts. Not realizing it was spicy when it came I commented to our server that it was too spicy for me. Our server, Susan, quickly took it away and brought me a fresh dish which was not spicy but very flavorful. The service was prompt, friendly and most efficient. The food was delicious and so plentiful that we had much to take home. Now I can honestly say that there is an Asian restaurant up here that is worth going to. We will be back! read more

Did portions very small, prices beyond expensive and food quality and taste mediocre.

Got takeout. Sloppy presentation. Parts of order were wrong. Sushi fell apart totally. Edamame had odd odor

This restaurant is the old HAIKU. Haiku it is not. My husband and I loved Haiku but this restaurant is not as good. They claim they have the same chef but the food does not taste the same. I did not like anything I had. Haiku used to make there own egg rolls which were great. The ones here were way too salty and tasted like they had vinegar in them. The grilled teriyaki was just plain tasting chicken with a sauce on it. It had no grill marks and was cooked on a flat grill. All the vegetables were cold. The carrots tasted like they were cooked in vinegar. The only thing I liked was the brown rice and we had to pay extra for it. My husband said his dish did taste similar to what Haiku made. Would not go back and will go to Haiku in Scarsdale in the future. read more
