This is absolutely under NO circumstances a SIT DOWN RESTAURANT. It is strictly a take out place. Don't make reservations for 8 people and have everyone in the neighborhood stare at you like you have 3 necks. Food is actually pretty good though. read more

I have been meaning to check out a vegetarian Chinese Restaurant. I mostly eat vegetarian. I have been for about 6 years now. I stopped eating chicken altogether. Usually when I do eat meat, it's usually seafood. I missed Chinese food. Now I can enjoy it without eating meat! The food taste great! I had Orange Chicken. Tastes exactly like I remembered Orange Chicken. I can't wait to try the other dishes. Came with a friend and ate at the restaurant. They were very friendly and provided great customer service. Coming here with a friend is great, but it's more of a take out place than anything. Affordable, but the cost is definitely higher than average Chinese food. Perfect for a take out night on the couch with bae and Netflix (if bae isn't a meat eater of course lol). read more

Zen Vegetarian House - I loved Orange Chicken when I ate meat. This was so good! - Vegetarian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I'm glad that I'm within their delivery zone. The delivery guys are courteous but here are a few dishes I would not recommend - 1. Stay away from the Pad Thai noodle dish. I guess it's impossible to make an authentic Pad Thai without fish sauce but Zen House please don't replace the savory dish with vinegar and TONS OF SUGAR ! I almost choke to death after first bite and thought I had accidentally ordered a dessert noodle plate. 2. I would not order the General Tso or Sweet and Sour dish. Maybe it's just me but if you like SUGAR sauce in your dinner plate then these dishes will serve you well. So what are the reasons for giving them 3 stars as opposed to 2 or 1? 1. Fast delivery & Great manner. 2. Cheaper price (and faster delivery) than Dao palate. 3. Stir fry dishes taste pretty good and Thank Goodness no thick and shiny and gluey sauce. 4. Good portion size. 5. Love their fried appetizers - chicken nuggets and Salt & Pepper chicken (It's fried. What's not to love ? ) Will I order from Zen regularly? Well, I'm not a vegetarian but I'll order from them when I 1) am really hungry, 2) am lazy to cook, and 3) really want to save another live chicken for the day ! read more

I'm a regular and have never had anything I didn't love! Sugarcane drumsticks, veggie dumplings and black pepper seitan are some of my faves. Always packaged well when delivered. read more

For someone who is newly vegetarian I am so glad we have this place in the neighborhood! This is an all vegetarian Asian fusion restaurant. They have a few chairs inside for sitting down but it's best as a takeout joint. I order from here about once a week. Yes I am in love with the mango chicken just like everyone else on yelp is! The veggie dumplings are perfect! They have a nice light filling and and very light spinach dough encases these perfect little dumplings. They're is the option of either white or brown rice to accompany the meals. The general tso is wonderful and so is the sesame chicken. As you can see I am working my way through the menu and I am happy to do it as well. We haven't been disappointed yet! Service is lightning fast and they are always so pleasant when you call them. They were also nice enough to deliver multiple times during the snow. I love this place! Try it out and you will too! read more

So it was fairly good! I'm vegetarian so I'm always looking for options. The soy protein was good. I got it for delivery. I highly suggest this place. My only downside was the lack of salt/flavor. I recommend wonton soup!! So good. The portions were huge and it was affordable. read more

The phones are down, but the online ordering still works! I love this place so much that I walked all the way here to make sure they were OK. Grab some cash at the 24 hour bodega next-door and support this incredible establishment. I've been coming here since 2008. Fan favorites are chicken nuggets, salt and pepper mushrooms, and mango soy protein/chicken!!!! I'm not even a vegetarian! read more

Ok. This place is amazing. If you are vegan, veg, or even if you aren't, this place is a MUST. I haven't eaten meat in several years, but my friend who does said the sweet and sour chicken tasted exactly like chicken, and the spring rolls were amazing! They are also so knowledgeable at the counter about what is in the food, and my friend, who often has problems with this kind of food due to her many allergies, felt completely safe and didn't have any reactions at all! And the dessert. That peanut butter bomb, WOW. Go out of your way to get to this place!!! read more

Been ordering from seamless and boy is this food delicious! Best thing is that they have soy ice cream shakes. I love ice cream shakes and it didn't even melt because they have such a speedy delivery service. Just tried the chicken nuggets and they are literally to die for. The nuggets are huge, crispy, and tasty. They inspired me to write this review so that the world could know about them. Also the delivery is super fast I would say I like about a 15 minute car ride from this place and it literally takes only about 30 minutes most times to get here which makes me very happy. Everyone should give this place a try, your meat eating friends would be pleased as well. read more

This place is awesome for trying to wean yourself off of meat. I'm not a vegetarian but I was amazed by how much the chicken nuggets and ginger chicken tasted like actual poultry.

I was told by a friend that the food at the Zen was good, but it was Great!!! The sesame chik'n was very tasty and the spring roll was as well. The zucchini pancakes was kinda greasy but still good. The staff was nice and the place is clean. Overall, I had a good experience and I will come back to eat here with my family again. read more

I haven't stepped foot into the actual restaurant in years, but for delivery Zen Vegetarian is one of my go-tos. I generally get the spring rolls or avocado salad with a non-soy entree, but I have found lately that the brown garlic sauce used for the sauteed broccoli or sauteed mixed vegetables sauce is a bit too heavy for me and pops up on my skin. Unable to resist today's craving, I decided to order the sauteed broccoli with the instructions "Please cook without soy sauce" (because I am also plagued by food allergies, including soy and wheat), and was pleased to find my broccoli in a light/almost watery but flavorful garlic sauce. It was perfect. Take my advice Zen.... Add this "naked vegetables" entree to your menu with the option to make spicy. And provide a link to this review in case anyone considering it is on the fence. read more

Tried several items based on other reviews but was mostly underwhelmed to disappointed. The chikn nuggets & General's was overcooked & difficult to chew. Mangos in the mango chikn were undercooked and was light on the chikn. Bland Chikn Teriyaki & Beef broccoli were almost indistinguishable taste-wise. The fish nuggets were slight improvement re: taste & texture but the Sesame chikn is what I'd recommend to most. Malaysian pancake (roti canai-ish except not flaky) was a greasy guilty pleasure. It came with a side sauce that reminded me of green pea soup/sauce that may be better suited with rice & veggies. read more

I was very scared to eat vegetarian meat, for fear of a bad taste, but they passed my test. I think if you brought somewhere there blindfolded, or brought the food to a party, people would be hard pressed to tell the difference. My opinion echoes what everyone else said - Huge portions (I got three meals out of my serving) - Don't eat in (EVERYBODY is walking by and stares at your food) *Although every so often, there's some nice butts walking by, if you're into that sort of thing *They have a resident bum who comes in and asks for money - Mango chicken is great!...So are chicken nuggets, and the eggplant in garlic sauce is possible one of the greatest sauces for a dish in the greater Brooklyn area -I got a vanilla soy shake, its great, and extra thick. You will feel full in no time, but just don't let it get warm. It will mess with your intestines. read more

I had some "fried chicken" from here and it was damn good. Although it was more like chicken nuggets and the barbecue sauce that came with it a bit on the tangy side. This place looks like a neighborhood Chinese takeout spot, except it doesn't have the plexiglass partition. The food was a bit too greasy for me, being that vegetarian screams healthy but I'd go again if only for a quick last-minute bite to eat. read more

Lady at the front was extremely nice and her service was great. Ordered the Tofu Teriyaki lunch special and the steamed veggie dumplings. I'm not a big fan of watery tofu but the Teriyaki sauce made up for that. The dumplings were super tasty and I contemplated getting another order. Great place. read more

Couple of weeks ago, the hubs and I decided to give this vegetarian place near us getting awesome reviews a try. Made the choice to dine there...Wrong decision. Not mad at the simplistic decor but we sat right next to the huge glass window where 1000 people were walking and cars constantly honking. I'm sorry but Flabush ave (East Flatbush side) is not the most pleasant street to dine on. People walking by were giving us all types of stares (curiosity, judgment, curiosity, smiley faces, hunger, hatred....you get the drift). We felt like monkeys on display. Not to mention the resident bum popping in and asking for money.Next time...will order from home. On to food, I liked how it didn't smell like hot grease in there. Our plates came out right away. - Eggplant with garlic. Beautiful presentation. the sauce was awesome, best garlic sauce ever taste. -mango chicken, as many have mentioned, was also good. The fruits and veggies were really fresh. -Portions were sooooooo huge, we got 3 meals out of our dishes. They also had good healthy drinks. We had pina colada and vanilla soy shake Sadly, something about vegan food does not fully go with my stomach. I enjoyed the chicken nuggets at first but for some reason they were hard to digest. Like my stomach was NOT happy. Come to find out, me and the hubs both had GI distress later on. Traced the source back to the nuggets. Not sure what ingredient in them is causing this....the fake meat? the oil they used? who knows. Still giving this place a 4 for the food. Still giving it a chance and trying out more stuff from the menu. read more

Always friendly and good, consistent food! The lunch specials are a great value. My favorites are lemon taro, curry soy chicken, and mango chicken. The drumstix are a nice app. They use jasmine rice which is my preference - airy, fluffy rice goodness! The drinks are well priced and ideal for a summer pick-me-up. read more

We had the chicken nuggets (excellent ), Orange beef( excellent ) and brown rice and the vegetable dumplings( I wasn't fond of it but the kids loved it). It's hard to believe that the food is vegetarian, not once did the kids question what they were eating which is amazing and they actually loved it. I also had the carrot & ginger juice( am not sure if I had to ask for honey but it could have used some to add a little bit of taste to it, didn't taste much of the ginger either). I also had to ask for ice for my drink which came to the table warm. Other than that we will be returning for further meals . read more

Fast delivery, a new favorite for takeout. I'm vegetarian for the most part, but I LOVE fake meat if done well. Here, it's done so well and delicious. My favorites are the chicken nuggets: so delicious, crispy and tasty! I also loved the malaysian pancakes; they come with a sauce that is just incredibly delicious. The General Tso's chicken was also SO good. I also enjoyed the Ma Po Tofu and the eggplant in garlic sauce was delicious. Some items were mediocre, like the wontons. Tasty but all too forgettable. However, there are also a few items which I didn't think were all too great. The Pad Thai is extremely sweet and watery, it did not taste anything like what I imagine pad thai to taste like. The sweet and sour chicken came with the sauce on the side -- which was OK but it was quite sugary. I also was not a big fan of the Miso Soup because it was not as flavorful as could be. Overall, some hits, and some misses. I think it very much depends on what you order. Some are amazing, and once you figure out what you like it's enjoyable! The prices are pretty good for takeout, and it usually is delivered pretty fast - usually, I order from Seamless, and it arrives right on time or even earlier! read more

My favorite thing about Zen is the brown rice! I love that they make it an option and not pay extra for brown rice. Their food is great you really don't feel like you're missing out on anything. My mother's house is so close that I just know it will be my go-to when she doesn't cook and I'm hungry Only reason I gave it 4**** rather than 5 is because I feel like some of their prices are high...like most healthy foods are though. My faves: Spring Rolls, Wontons, Malaysian Pancake, Mixed Vegetables Not so faves: Nuggets sorry it was just a bit to hard for my taste. read more

The food is cool. The wantons are a great appetizer. This place is good for folks transitioning to Vegan lifestyle. A huge issue I have with them is the guys delivering the food. They play that game with Black folks that they won't come into your building to deliver, so you have to come down and collect the food. When my money is spending, I am not a second class citizen. read more

Dear Zen, I've lived in Flatbush for about four years now and ordering takeout from Zen Veg has been a huge perk. The people are so nice and friendly. I've brought omnivores the chicken nuggets (or chick nugs if you will) and people eat all of them and get mad that they're not meat. THIS PLACE IS ALL THAT IS GOOD ABOUT LIVING. 1.The chicken nuggets will change your life. I would bathe in that sauce. 2.Curry soy protein has the softest most tender carrots and potatoes. 3.I love the chicken sandwich for a lunch thing and the vegan cheesecakes are like WHAT. THE. wat. GUYS YOU EVEN HAVE JUICE. This is my first Yelp! review and it's long overdue. Thanks Zen Veg! Your best friend, Katiexoxo read more

Can't believe after living here for almost two years, I am just now discovering this place! The food is delicious!! Actually my saving grace - I've been vegetarian for a few months now and would freak out because there was nothing to eat around my neighborhood but now I have something! The food is fresh and made to order and everyone is so polite there. Each time I've gotten the Mango chicken with brown rice and extra veggies...YUMMYYY - I'm thinking next up I'll try the general Tso or curry chicken. Also I haven't tried delivery - I always walk there and order. Whether vegetarian, vegan or looking for a change or something delicious I say have a open mind and try this... You will love it! read more

I'm sooooo addicted to this place. Their food makes me not miss my omnivorous days, and I love how even their desserts and drinks are all vegan! I've only had the chicken teriyaki, mango chicken, and curry chicken so far and they all taste bomb! They offer a brown rice option and their lunch special prices are pretty hard to beat. Can't wait to try more! Definitely on my way to becoming a regular here. PS they take literally only 5-10 minutes to get your food ready. The order in person took 10, and they called me 5 minutes after I put my seamless order in...amazing. read more

I am going to keep this brief. I walked in to place an order and wasn't pleased with the look of the open kitchen. It looked dirty. Anyway, there were two men standing around scrolling through their phones. I placed the order with the lady at the counter and then she shouted the order out to the men. NO ONE WASHED THEIR HANDS. The man starts grabbing brocolli, carrots, and everything else needed for my order with his bare hands. I spoke to the lady at the counter about that and she apologized, told them to change the order and put gloves on. I will never go back to this place. I don't understand the logic in not washing hands when it comes to handling food. read more

100% vegan Asian cuisine in Flatbush. The restaurant itself is very small, seating around 12 people total, with no restroom. It seems most of their business is delivery. Menu is primarily mock meat and Asian fusion dishes like tofu teriyaki, and a variety of plant based protein/rice/vegetable dishes. They also have a selection of vegan treats. Prices are very reasonable, and all credit cards are accepted. My friend and I each got a lunch special, which for $6.50 each was an incredible value. For this price I received a large portion of sesame "chicken", rice, steamed veggies, and hot and sour soup. The soup was not very good-too much salt, and not enough flavor. The mock chicken and veggies were very tasty. I also tried the mock duck and chicken nugget appetizers which were excellent. Highly recommended for vegans and omnivores alike-you really won't know the difference! read more
