Order takeout last night, and we will definitely be back again! We were visiting Guelph from Ottawa and were so happy to find out that Guelph has a veggie Chinese restaurant! Seems to be all vegan with the exception of cheesecake. The vegan chicken balls were really good, I’ve never seen them at any other vegan restaurant before! We also tried the wonton soup, chow mein, beef and brocolli, and a curry, everything was great! Portions were large as well.

Vegan or not, you MUST give this place a try. The food is absolutely delicious, truly a “Mom’s home cooking” vibe.
Veggie Curry Samosas: flavourful, sweet, filled with potatos and spice. Flaky crispy shell.
Soy chicken balls: crispy shell, tasty “chicken” that’s seasoned well on the outside.
Ginger Soy Chicken Fried Rice: so tasty! Flavours remind me of my childhood.
The soy chicken texture is surprisingly palatable. While obviously not chicken, it’s still very tasty and provides the chewy feedback of meat. Much better than yves fake meat products in my opinion.
Jasmine tea served loss leaf, very good.
Interior is very cute and cozy. What a better way to eat a home cooked meal than somewhere that feels like home?
I’m so excited to return to try other dishes from their large menu selection.

Went for lunch and the service was really great and food was good too. This is a fully vegetarian restaurant. Portions are great and the presentation was exceptional. This restaurant is really clean and has a clean washroom. This place has fee parking. Highly recommend this place for all vegetarian lovers and will definitely return.

I visited Zen Gardens recently for dinner and was pleasantly surprised by the wide variety of menu options as well as the quality of the food. Upon arrival, I was promptly seated by a friendly and attentive staff member. My miso soup, dumplings, and veggie sushi platter arrived at my table quickly and tasted great. The restaurant itself is relatively small and there isn’t a lot of available parking, but neither of these factors negatively affected my experience.

Delicious! Loved the restaurant setting. Very casual, homey (literally). If you go you’ll know what I mean. I had the spicy tofu combo which came with salad, a side soup of choice (I picked veg wonton), purple rice and 2 triangles which is similar to a samosa. The only thing I wish was different is that we were not given plates and food was served in takeout containers. To some this could be a small picky thing but I’ve always preferred to eat on actual plates when dining in restaurants. Also, we were given water in paper cups and didn’t receive tea. Found out we had to order that. Other than that, it was great and left with very full bellies. The flavour was wonderful right down to the broth of the soup. Will definitely be back the next time we are in Guelph again

This is not veggie pad Thai. I couldn’t finish it. I appreciate the veggie friendly food but when you serve ketchup vermicelli and call it veggie pad Thai, it’s not fair to customers.

The food was great but the quantity is less when it compared to price but you can give a try
