I was invited by local friends I was visiting in Valéncia to go to dinner at Mey Mey Cantonese…read moreChinese restaurant (which was very near their home). The decor was beautiful with tasteful interior design, but watch-out for the up-and-then-down-and-then-up steps (I had recently dislocated my hip and was super cautious)! The food was the best Cantonese cuisine I've eaten in a very long time! The meal began with a complementary little crunchy egg roll with a delightful dipping sauce! The daily set menu was a variety of options! It was not your "one from column A, one from column B", steam table soggy food! It was filled with dishes that were well prepared and not cooked until ordered. The Apple fritter and ice cream dessert I chose was especially good! All-in-all a delightful dining experience in the middle of Central Valéncia, Spain!

Great Chinese food with a diverse menu; an unexpected find in Valencia…read more I've eaten here three times now over the course of two trips to Valencia. The menu is fairly diverse with foods ranging from the standard dim sum dishes to rice dishes to noodle dishes to various meat dishes. Of the Chinese restaurants I've had in Valencia (limited to maybe four places), this one has the most authentic food. I usually do a blend of one of their pre fixe dim sum menus (three items for about 12 euro) with a rice dish (somewhere between 7 - 12 euro). They also offer two full pre fixe menus, one smaller one around 16 euro and one (which looks much nicer) for 23 euro, but requires two attendees (I'm on business so I haven't had the company to try this out). The venue is nice, there's a great interior with a flowing koi pond. The decorations are pretty nice and definitely better decorated than all the other Chinese venues in the area. Other things to note... so I've been mistaken as a non-customer twice now (they thought I was there looking for a staff member) -- I guess the curse of being Chinese, looking young, and dropping by a Chinese restaurant earlier than most Spaniards eat. On that note... the door may say 8:30, but I've never gotten in that early. Give yourself a 15 minute cushion and go at 8:45... the doors might not be open and you'll find yourself loitering outside like me. Overall, THE place to go for Chinese food in Valencia (and I'll let you know if that changes -- while I'm here).

We strayed out of the Valencia city center one afternoon to satisfy our craving for good Chinese…read morefood. After having read so many good reviews about this place I was excited to try it out. We were a party of four and when we got their for lunch it was just packed with locals, families, etc... We were quickly sat even though the restaurant was busy. We ordered several dishes, some ere very tasty, and others were just so-so. The famed lemon chicken came in a strange sauce and honestly did not have much flavor to it...I was disappointed to be honest. The spring rolls were delicious, the beef and potatoes was quite tasty, the sweet & sour chicken was very good, the dumplings were also very good, but the fried rice had a very fishy smell/flavor to it and we ordered beef fried rice, nothing with any seafood. It was a positive experience overall, but I am not sure I would implore you to go out of your way to eat here. I would go back again for a 2nd try at least, for sure, but it is not on my list of Oh My God, you have to try this place. 3 starts for me for now, but after a 2nd visit I may adjust accordingly. I can say in the end that my wife and I did like the food, my kids however did not.

Zen is quite a sad excuse for a restaurant. While the quality of the food is acceptable, the…read moreprices are way too high and the service is nothing short of abysmal :-( Our waiter brought all of our food as rapidly as possible, paying zero attention to either the order we had requested or whether we had finished the previously delivered course. To add insult to injury, in his haste the knocked over the bottle of wine we ordered, spilling most of it on the floor. He neither apologized nor offered to bring us another bottle; he simply scurried away... There are far too many better restaurants in Valencia for me to even consider returning to this place. I suggest that anyone reading this avoid Zen at all costs.

I would actually give 2.5 stars for this restaurant. The reasons are that the food was okay, the…read moreservice was very slow and it was too pricy for the quality of food they served. Even so, I'd give 3.5 stars for the Pecking duck and the interior. Zen is a Western style Chinese/Japanese restaurant. The place is situated near Nuevo Centro surrounding by hotels and business offices. So many customers are business and international people. It is a bit far from the city center of Valencia, but it's not so difficult to access by either metro or bus. The interior of this place is very well done. It looks like an upscale restaurant. The waiters and waitresses seem very formal. There is a waiting space for customers that looks really nice. There are pictures of famous people who ate at this place. The atmosphere is nice and bright. The food we (2 people) ordered were 2 dishes of Dim Sum and Pecking duck. One was still frozen. So we asked them to change it to a proper hot one. We were a bit shocked because it seemed like they serve us frozen food. We didn't expect that this kind of restaurant and with this high price would be from frozen food. The other dish was not bad though. We did like it. The Pecking duck we ordered were for two people. At this place you have to order at least for two people for the Pecking duck. It came also with clear duck soup (without meat) and we could choose what to do with the duck meat: either stir fry with vegetables or with orange. For this dish we waited for a long time probably around half and hour. There was only one person who sliced the duck and he did it for each table one by one right at the dining table. It looked interesting to see how he did it. But I'd actually prefer to have it sliced from the kitchen if I had to wait for that long. The duck skin was really good and crispy. The sauce was okay but I didn't like the rice cake that came in the set. It's too dry. For the duck meat dish, we chose the one with vegetables. This one was yummy. The service was friendly but very slow. The price was too expensive for this kind of quality of food.

Service is just so so. Slow. We waited for more than 20 minutes. Otherwise it is at a good location.read more

Between us, we ordered crispy spring rolls, bok choy, chicken with bamboo and mushrooms, sweet-and-sour chicken, chicken with vegetables, and spicy beef. All the dishes arrived piping hot, and overall, we were impressed with the quality and flavors. The spicy beef was my personal favorite -- tender and flavorful -- though it wasn't particularly spicy. Matt commented that everything was good, and the rest of the group agreed. A few small things to note: * The bok choy came in a bowl of broth, which might be traditional, but I would've preferred it served dry on a plate. * The chicken with vegetables had a noticeable layer of oil on top -- not a dealbreaker, but something to be aware of. * Rice is not included, so you'll need to order it separately (€2 per person). Service was cordial but a bit inattentive, though not unfriendly. Prices were very reasonable -- the bill for four people, including a few beers, came to €68. We noticed several diners ordering half roasted chickens with sides -- they looked and smelled amazing, so we'll likely try that next time. All in all, a solid choice for Chinese food in Valencia, and yes, I would absolutely go back.
