Small place. Not many gluten free options but the rest of our tables choices were good. Service was excellent. All items seen coming from the kitchen looked tasty. You can tell they take pride in their food prep. Check it out!

A destination and neighbourhood restaurant where the food leads the way. Great menu where even people unfamiliar with Japanese food will easily discover a favourite. Those that are familiar will rejoice in the quality, perfect preparation and service. Easy going and comfortable; comfort food on a cold day.
The service as good as the food. Zen will be a favourite place on any day.

We’ve been here many times. The food and the service have been phenomenal both times. The Japanese curry is the ultimate comfort food and tastes so extra special here—I get it with the pork cutlet. Vegetable tempura YUM.
The sushi is delicious. We’ve tried a couple rolls—they put their own spin on some basic ones and we like it.
I’ve been disappointed by other Japanese restaurants, but this one won’t be able to keep me away.

We took a friend here last month for his birthday dinner. He had been once before and had a 5-star experience with both the food and the service.
We had a less than 5-star experience primarily because we felt rushed to leave. We got there around 7:15 and soon we were the only people in the restaurant. It was snowing out. We were told 7:45 was last orders. We knew close was 8, but one would assume if you take orders till 7:45 you’ll allow people time to eat it. We got our entrees, and immediately after we were presented with the check, tho the waitress told us we could take our time. However at maybe 7:50 the cook came out with his coat on and asked how our food was. We said fine and my friend jokingly asked if they had cake as it was his birthday. The cook said we’re closed. Didn’t wish him a happy birthday or anything. Then stood around with his coat on looking at us. We felt distinctly unwelcome so asked for to go containers to pack our food in, it was 8:00 as we were leaving. At that point the cook was very pleasant, once we were leaving. For this reason I rated the atmosphere 2. Also, I’m from Minneapolis and 8pm closing is super early
My friend loved the Red Dragon ramen, I had tempura which was delicious, and they used some unusual veggies in it which I loved: red peppers and green beans. We had a sushi roll which was loose and the middle fell out. It was considerably fewer pieces than I’d expect in a roll but the price was reasonable. Overall the food is really good. My partner had a noodle dish, and we had the grilled calamari appetizer which was fantastic, very tender.
I just hate it when you’re the only patrons and you’re rushed out. You should be treated the same as you would be if there were other people there. We were also spending quite a lot, not like we were a $20 table. Definitely soured my experience.

I had never tried Japanese cuisine before, and I had the soy ramen, and it was absolutely exceptional! I had my order to go, but the gentleman on the phone was professional and answered any questions that I had! I will absolutely be back! I highly recommend this establishment!

Update: Thank you so much for making my birthday special!! You all are absolutely so sweet and my boyfriend and I loving coming to see all of you. See you all in the summer!

Every sushi roll was scrumptious! All had their own taste and texture, so good Our waiter was so nice, hospitable, knowledgeable on the types of sushi and made the best recommendations.
We had the Sweet n Crunchy (yellow sauce), the Warrior Roll (green onion on top), the Crunchy Shrimp (orange fish eggs on top) and a Spicy Dragon (red dot on top).
Definitely a return visit in our future!

Zen House is a bit out of the way, tucked in a small, nondescript building up the hill from Duluth, so it is easy to overlook; this is most unfortunate! The food and atmosphere make for a wonderful experience, well worth the time and money.
We tried the Udon and a curry rice dish, as well as the “Red Line Sushi” to split. The flavors and textures were *perfect*, each bite bringing with it a richness that sparked many smiles and happy sighs.
The staff were great as well. Our server was very attentive and polite. Unfortunately, there was a mistake with our order and the Udon ended up missing seafood, but the server was quick to resolve the issue and we enjoyed the dish either way.
Definitely make this a destination for your next Duluth dinner/lunch!

Absolutely awesome hidden gem in Duluth that even some locals don’t know about. Will hands down say they have the best ramen in town. Every other dish has been spectacular and their service even more so.

What a great little restaurant! Every table was filled while we ate and lots of take out customers we noticed. The food was delicious. I highly recommend this gem!
