Went for San Diego restaurant week to try a new place…the food was really good and the service was excellent. We had the cucumber salad and hot and sour soup appetizer, Chicken lettuce wraps and spicy pork dumplings for 2nd course, and for entrees we had the shrimp and scallop dish and the sea bass dish. Each was perfectly cooked and well seasoned. The chili oil was a nice addition to add kick to the mains. For cocktails we tried the Cucumber Crush (gin based) and Matcha cocktail (vodka based) and both were excellent. Not too sweet and properly refreshing to balance out the heat of some of the dishes. The restaurant is located in the one paseo shopping center food court (which is a fun venue but could get loud at times).

Tried the newly opened Asian fusion restaurant at Sky Deck — the food was amazing! The chicken wings were crispy on the outside yet tender inside, and my kid and I especially loved the beef noodle soup — flavorful, comforting, and perfectly cooked.
The service was friendly and attentive, and the staff made us feel very welcome even though the place was busy. The atmosphere is modern and lively but still cozy — a great spot for families or casual dining. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Wow this place is incredible! The food was delicious (Taiwanese Beef Noodle soup was our fave, sichuan pork dumplings were so spicy which was perfect) the staff is so friendly and accommodating, it’s a classy beautiful and fun environment/ atmosphere , and Ethan is so kind he gave us a dessert platter to try which was so good. Can’t wait to come back and try more!

Followed zen to this location from their previous location in Poway. The sweet chili wok classic with chicken is one of my favorites while the wife favors the black pepper steak. The drinks are new to us there as the last spot didn’t have a liquor license. Tried the Chinese 5 spice old fashioned was quite tasty along with the mont blonc cake. Will happily come again when the craving strikes us.
The zen wings are still good but used to be more spicy in the past. Hopefully that will come back as well as they have only been reopened a couple weeks.

Place was fantastic, the sampler is a great way to start a meal with a date. It comes with a cooking apparatus to cook your beef sticks. The beef noodle soup was absolutely amazing. Loved the ambiance and immaculate restaurant itself. Customer service was top tier. It seems like anything Ethan touches turns to gold and it’s the same for this restaurant. Will definitely be back regularly!

Really excellent addition to the area – I’ve had a good chunk of their menu and it’s delicious. The bar area is great to hang out as well!
The Singapore Noodles are fantastic, the best version of this in the city. Some folks might not like that these are “dry” noodles, but these are crazy good.
The Beef Chow Fun is superb.
Drunken Noodles are delicious.
The Fried Rice dishes are awesome.
The wings though – oh my god, the wings are insanely good. I seriously could not believe how much I loved them. The salt and pepper wings are my new favorite wings in the city. The Zen Wing sauce is just perfect, I could eat that sauce on any protein, put it on rice and you have a perfect meal.
Chef Ethan and his dad are geniuses here.

Zen bistro is a delight. We ordered a variety of items and shared. Some highlights were fried rice, the honey walnut shrimp, and wonton soup. The wonton soup tastes just like my favorite Chinese restaurant growing up which is a high compliment. Overall the service and atmosphere are also great and this will be a new regular go to spot for us.
