Food was perfect. Almost everything was very tasty, and portions were large.
Atmosphere ws good with not very bright lights.
Service was ok, but it was not the fault of the 2 people working there as server, cashier, cook, and helper. Atleast hire 4 people for weekends. Don't cheap out on labour. The restaurant was almost full with 2 people doing all the labour.

The restaurant is very clean, plenty of seating, very friendly staff.

The food is good. We ordered vegetarian spring roll and shrimp spring rolls. The vegetarian spring rolls were still cold in the middle however, the shrimp spring rolls were hot. We ordered Beef Hofun, spicy pepper calamari, and Honey garlic chicken. The spicy calamari and the honey garlic chicken were both very good. However, the Beef Hofun, was tasty, but a bit on the dry side, if it was more saucy, it would’ve been very good.
We will visit the restaurant again and try some other dishes
Lastly, the owner was super friendly and lovely woman very sweet.

I ordered a THAI seafood fried rice and there were hardly any seafood except some egg drops and hardly few artificial crab meat. This place used to be good when they started at Baldwin and Broadleaf many years ago . I have been going here for over 15 combined both businesses. Now the new people/immigrants find this place a heaven. BUT they don't care about their long time customers!!!!!

The management here is filled with some of the most unempathetic people I have ever met. Employees and customers alike deserve to be treated with respect, but that was not my experience. I got food poisoning from their food, so I called and requested a refund. Instead of showing concern for my well-being or trying to resolve the situation professionally, management was dismissive and unwilling to take responsibility. Their lack of empathy and poor customer service only made an already unpleasant experience even worse.

When a customer raises a legitimate health concern, the least they can do is listen respectfully and make an effort to address it properly.

Also, based on other reviews, it looks like I am not the only one who had an unpleasant experience with this place... One lucky fella found maggots in their food!

The menu is huge, offering plenty of choices. I tried the Zen Special with fish, along with the back and leg chow mein. Overall, it was quite good. The portion size was good and the flavour was a couple of notches above average.

The fried chicken had a crispy, flavourful skin, though the inside was slightly bland. The fish was very good and the egg fried rice was also well done.

All in all, it’s good value for money.

We were quickly greeted by Leslie, who was very pleasant and answered our questions regarding halal meat which she confirmed (Sargent farms supplies chicken and St.Helel supplies beef).

We were seated at a booth that was comfortable and clean, and Leslie came over promptly to take our orders. We had szechuan chicken, sesame chicken, and special fried rice. Everything was fresh, hot, flavourful, and cooked to perfection. The portions were huge and we ended up taking some home!

Definitely must try and we will definitely be back!

I’ve been ordering take out from the Zen occasionally for years, and this is my first time dining in. I had the Chilli Chicken lunch special which includes a choice of Soup of the Day, spring roll or a pop. I chose the soup. I didn’t ask for any modifications to the spice level of the chicken or soup, I found both to be adequately spiced with a good amount of heat that made me sweat just a bit.

I enjoyed my meal, and the owners are very friendly and checked on me a few times while I was eating. If you’re having Chilli Chicken or any dish that is saucy, I’d recommend having it dine in, as the gravy will make the chicken soggy fairly quickly. For take away or delivery my preference is dry.

Portion size for the lunch special was generous given the price point.

Amazing, fresh Thai ~ Hakka restaurant in Stouffville. Huge menu selection, so many options, also for vegetarians! We come here to relax, or order in. Leslie our server always gives great service! Prices are very reasonable.

Stopped by the Zen while visiting Stoufville and was pleasantly surprised! The portion size for the lunch menu was amazing for the price and we had lots of leftovers for home as well.

The atmosphere of the restaurant was wonderful, really enjoyed coming here.

A special mention to the kindness of the staff, they were so nice and friendly! Service was wonderful, would def stop by again!

The ginger beef was crispy, flavourful, and had the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. The fried rice was delicious, fresh, and paired really well with the beef. The Thai iced tea was refreshing and not overly sweet—the perfect drink to go with the meal. Great food, generous portions, and friendly service. I’ll definitely be back!
