    Zen is located inside the Waldorf Astoria hotel in Vegas and it is a convenient restaurant where you can grab a relatively healthy breakfast. I like sitting by the window and enjoying the view. The waiter is very accommodating and my avocado toast was gluten free!

    Salmon Bagel*
    Jaynar S.

    For a pricey & upscale place, I would expect a higher experience. The carpet floors were a little dirty, and the server station had broken cabinets. It was also annoying when the staff would slam the broken drawers and drop silverware at the station. Despite that, the staff was friendly. The Salmon Lox Bagel was delicious, and the Breakfast Burrito was well presented and delicious. I liked the little cuts of bell peppers and garnish to give the dish color. Overall, a bit pricey for what its worth.

    Rainbow Roll and sashimi
    Eloy G.

    I ate here twice while staying at the Waldorf and I would stay while this is a very end hotel, the prices for food for the quality was not what I expected. I ordered a rainbow roll and some sashimi. While the roll and sashimi were good, it was not worth the 63.00 I spent for this two entrees with a glass of water. Additionally I ate breakfast here the next day and for the American breakfast with a coffee the price was $49.00. The highlight of course staying in a nice hotel was the service. The servers were always amazing, smiling and welcoming. The ambiance was just your typical hotel dining room with partial views. While I stay at this hotel once in a while, I will mostly like eat elsewhere next time.

    The friendly service, view of the Crystals mall, and convenience for anyone meeting or staying at the Waldorf Astoria are the highlights here. While the food isn't bad, there's definitely a premium added for the convenience. Oatmeal and blueberries will run you $20 here, for example, in a city known for deals on steak, shrimp, and prime rib.

    Classic omelette
    Krista V.

    We were greeted and seated quickly. Our waitress was Kristy who was very nice and efficient. My spouse got the salmon with a toasted bagel deconstructed so I could eat the veggies. I ordered the classic omelette with added tomatoes. It was light, fluffy, and good flavor. It came with a tomato on the side with baked goat cheese also great and a fresh side salad dressed nicely. I ate all of it. All the staff were friendly. The restaurant is on the 3rd floor. It's nice and bright with windows to see the strip.

    Omelet

    Tucked away on the third floor of Waldorf Astoria, Zen Kitchen is a peaceful oasis amid the Strip chaos--perfect after a family Vegas trip with the dog in tow. The modern space with courtyard views feels worlds away from the frenzy, and the service shines: attentive without hovering, even at brunch Had the seasonal maple latte--rich, creamy with perfect fall spice notes, not overly sweet--and the omelet (fluffy eggs loaded just right, fresh fillings). Both hit spot-on: latte warmed me up, omelet satisfied without heaviness. Portions ideal, quality shines through in every bite/sip. Fresh, seasonal American with subtle Zen twists (tuna poke on menu for next time). Prices fair for luxury hotel--worth it for the calm escape. Highly recommend; will return on future Vegas runs.

    It's quite sad that the actual "real" restaurant at the Waldorf closed down and this cafe style joint is the only food option available on the premises. We had a bunch of food credit through FHR and being Hilton Diamond so we ate here multiple times during our stay. Wagyu steak and eggs - it's ok but nothing to write home about Breakfast sandwich - I didn't like it but objectively speaking it's not bad Breakfast burrito - It's not what i would call an "authentic" breakfast burrito but it's not bad Salmon Bagel - probably the best breakfast/lunch item we tried We also ate here for dinner i'd say definitely don't do that unless you have food credit to burn. The sushi fish was decent but the rice was terrible.... overall it was a very mediocre and overpriced dinner.

    Came to have a glass of wine at lunch. Decided to share a club sandwich with my husband. The waiter split the sandwich and brought it on 2 separate plates. The lunch was delicious. The drink was yummy as well. I had a spritz. Excellent service. Nice quite lunch.

    Miso Sea Bass, Wagu Fried Rice, and Chicken with chimichuri
    Yolanda F.

    Zen was conveniently located inside our hotel so we decided to go there for dinner. The wait staff was very courteous and attentive. We ordered the chicken, miso sea bass, and wagu fried rice. The food was flavorful, fresh, and fulfilling. Everything was delicious!

    Andreas K.

    Zen, the in-house restaurant of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Las Vegas, was a convenient, quiet and very charming place to have a delicious meal off the crowded people streams of the strip. The interior was very modern, war-elegant, the service a bit slow and unresponsive, but the food was on point and definitely worth it.

    Amazing quality Poached Eggs Benedict*
    Yazy C.

    Zen kitchen's breakfast is amazing! Kristy our server is the sweetest person! She is so attentive, easy to talk with and helped us out so much. She checked on us continuously, and our water was always filled. The food is sooo yummy. The eggs Benedict is always made perfectly. The eggs are definitely quality eggs. I highly recommend ordering the pancakes! They are fluffy and delicious!

    Chicken and waffles
    Fazle H.

    The chicken and waffles a d fried chicken are both very good. The chicken was dipped in what tastes like a pancake batter. Our server Erick is one of the people we remember from our last visit. He is a very nice and welcoming person and knows the menu items very well. It's a small hotel restaurant so it's. It very busy which is nice. You don't need to wait long for your order to arrive either.

    Wedge salad
    Amber M.

    I had dinner Saturday night here and Sunday breakfast and WOW! Just wow. I've dined all over the world and I despise hotel restaurants because they are almost always lame (even high end resorts like Waldorfs). Not the Waldorf Las Vegas ... Amazing from start to finish. Dined for an early dinner with Akiko as our server. She was friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. Checked in on us frequently. I had one of the best filets I've had in my life! The mushrooms were a little cold but still so delicious. Wagyu fried rice ... perfection! It was offered as a side, I could have made that my meal. Breakfast was also amazing. Erick was our amazing server who suggested pancakes which my husband enjoyed and I had the most flavorful and perfectly cooked eggs Benedict ever. I asked for my coffee iced and it was served brilliantly. Whether you are staying at the hotel or just nearby you MUST stop by zen. The views from the large windows are great.

They offer all-you-can-eat for around $35, which honestly seems like a great deal if you can put down some sushi , but we knew we wouldn't eat enough to make it worth it, so we opted to order à la carte instead. We started with the pork belly, which was actually the only thing we didn't care for, so we ended up sending that back. Everything after that, though, was SO good. The garlic spicy salted edamame was delicious and such a good way to start. We also tried several of their all-day specials--the yellowtail carpaccio, crunchy onion albacore, and seared bluefin tuna--and all three were delicious. Normally the specials are limited to one per person with AYCE, but since we were ordering à la carte, we could order however many we wanted. For rolls, I got the A Little Tease Roll and really enjoyed it. My husband got the Call 911 roll, and judging by how quickly it disappeared, I'd say he loved his too . My son kept it simple with a California roll and a cup of rice, which worked perfectly for him. We also shared a lychee nigiri, one of my favorites, and it was super yummy. The ambiance is probably one of my favorite things about this place. It's really fun and feels like somewhere you could come for a date night, but it's still completely comfortable for families. It would also be a great spot to come with a group. The surrounding area looks a little sketchy, so don't let that throw you off. Once you walk inside, it seriously feels like you've been transported somewhere completely different. The restaurant itself is really nice and has such a fun vibe. Definitely recommend checking this place out and trying some of their different sushi rolls and specials. Everything we had (minus the pork belly ) was BOMB. Next time we're in Vegas, we'll absolutely come back and try some more!

Every item was ultra-fresh. Hot when hot and cold when cold. I would order something and just a minute or two it would come out. This was even with an 80% full restaurant. Even more impressive was that hot items came out very, very quickly. Matthew, my server was a cool laid-back guy who was super attentive. Everything he recommended was great! And he checked on almost everything I ordered! Something else impressive was how quickly they clean cleared and reset the tables. It was a team effort. Everyone who was in the restaurant serving or busing helped replace the items on the table. It was very cool to see. I have to mention Cassie, the first and last person I talked to. She greeted me at the door with a happy smile, asked if this was my first time and kindly recommended a lot of wonderful items when explaining the menu. On the way out she thanked me for coming. The space was simply but well decorated. They picked a great upbeat soundtrack for midday. It was a wonderful meal all around! I'll be back for sure.

Also, during our meal, a woman had to be carried out by paramedics, which was quite unsettling. Next time, we'll probably choose another AYCE sushi restaurant that still offers a military discount. There are plenty of great options that appreciate and continue to support military members.

It was incredibly tender and practically melted in our mouths. It was so good that we ate it before we even thought about taking a picture! I ended up finding a photo of it on TARU's website because it deserved to be included. Next, we had a Salmon Roll, and then we decided to put ourselves in the chef's hands and asked him to make us a Chef's Surprise.

This is also the first sushi restaurant I have ever been to that automatically brings out fresh Wasabi without having to ask. The portions are generous and we left feeling very satisfied. Even though we were very full, we took a look at the dessert menu. Not pictured here is a sweet potato with ice cream and brown sugar glaze. This dish on the menu was unassuming but the taste was so decadent. Quite possibly the best and sweetest sweet potato I have ever tasted. The chef slowly roasts them over a 2 hour period, rotating the potatoes every so slightly every 15 minutes. The sweet potato could be a dessert by itself, it was that good! Chef Shuji is a charming and funny host. He regularly comes out to greet his customers and makes sure they are enjoying their meal, very high-touch. If you know Japanese - even if it's just a few phrases, speak with him as he will be delighted. He was absolutely tickled when we said arigato and he shared that he is originally from Kyoto.
