The stir fry dishes like Mongolian beef and black pepper beef were supermarket quality and close to 3 stars. Both beef dishes tasted pretty similar for two supposedly different dishes :( the odd thing was one had more wok energy. The other was dry and appeared to be the boiled texture Cashier was friendly . Would go back possibly for the fried food Price point is average for the area but expensive compared to the Chinese joints in Scarborough/Markham area

This restaurant specializes in Indian Hakka and Thai food…read more We had a small group of foodies who gathered for a luncheon together. We tried the following Dishes: Bombay Chicken, Hot Sour Soup, Zen Special Chicken, Chicken Fried Rice with Chicken on Top, Manchurian Fish, Hot Garlic Shrimp, Papaya Salad, Thai Green Curry Chicken, Steamed Chicken Momo, Crispy Ginger Beef I normally wouldn't choose to order soup, as I like to fill up on the heartier dishes but I was absolutely blown away by their Hot and Sour Soup. It's not overly sour and to me it was the perfect flavor profile. It was thick and loaded with tofu and chicken. The Bombay Chicken and Zen Special Chicken were both flavorful and unique chicken dishes. The crispy ginger beef was cooked to perfection; i'd definitely order it again. If you're looking for something tasty to drink their mango Lassi is superb. It's sweet and creamy. I loved it! The Thai Milk Tea was also a knock out. It was sooo good!!!

They also have a very nice dining room if you want to eat in. You may notice that The Big Zen seems very, very similar to The Zen, also in Whitby. The owners say there is no affiliation between the two, but it is obvious it is the same place, with the exact same menu and great quality food, just different owners. Highly recommended.

I opened the container (I ordered general tso chicken), believing the food would fulfill the hunger. The chicken was soggy (no other way to describe it). It tasted so bad. My grandfather ordered the chicken and vegetables. Also, soggy. I did a pick up order and live 5 minutes away, so I expected it to be a reasonable amount of time from restaurant to my stomach. Obviously that wouldnt have mattered, as it was poorly prepared and worsely seasoned. I don't recommend this place to anyone.

Between the two of us, we ordered much more than we could eat, just to try the food. We had Beef with Broccoli, Singapore Noodles, Roast Duck, and Ginger Green Onion Chicken. Both the beef and chicken dishes were really good. The noodle dish could have used a touch more curry for our liking but it still tasted good. The duck was obviously reheated. The flavour was decent but the texture was a little off. Overall, the food at this place was pretty good. So were the prices and service. We'll be back! PS - They have some great weekday lunch specials for only $8.99 each, including rice.

We've been ordering takeout there most of the time. The daily lunch specials are now $11.50, which comes with vegetable spring roll and choice soft drink. For today's standards and the cost of food, it's still a great deal. The portions are still generous, and the food was just like the first visit... delicious. If you want to upgrade to egg fried rice, add $1.50 or $1.95 for Hakka noodles instead of steamed rice. There are 40 choices for the lunch specials, so it's definitely something for everyone. The dining area is very clean and comfortable. Support your local restaurants and give them a try.
