" I ordered takeout for the first time, and I was truly impressed! Everything was hot and fresh, even by the time I got home. The flavors in the dishes are quite unique, and I loved their soy nuggets! Zen Gardens has undoubtedly earned a loyal customer in me. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was not what I expected based on the reviews. While I appreciate the variety available, some of the dishes we tried were underwhelming. The miso soup was too salty, and the veggie sushi didn't taste very fresh. The environment felt cluttered, though the service was friendly. I might give it another shot someday. " (*Curated Review*)

" Zen Gardens is a delightful find for anyone seeking vegetarian cuisine! My husband, who usually prefers meat, was surprised at how satisfying the dishes were. The tofu dishes were not only filling, but flavorful too. The ambiance is comforting and quiet. This will be a regular spot for us! " (*Curated Review*)

" Zen Gardens was a cozy little spot, but the food didn’t impress me much. I enjoyed the miso soup, but the rest of the meal was bland. I was hoping for more variety in flavors. The ambiance was nice though, and service was friendly. I may give it another try. " (*Curated Review*)

" The last time I visited Zen Gardens, I was dissatisfied with the food. The broccoli was overcooked, and the flavors just didn’t mesh well. The atmosphere was charming, but the inconsistency in food preparation is concerning. I hope they get back to their previous standards. " (*Curated Review*)

" I ventured to Zen Gardens after seeing some rave reviews, but my experience was just okay. The food was decent, but not as authentic as I had hoped. The service was friendly, but it took a while for the food to arrive. Overall, I might give it another chance in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was very excited to try Zen Gardens but was somewhat let down. The ambiance is nice, but the food felt lackluster. The mock meats didn’t taste fresh, and it all felt too processed. Still, I appreciate the plant-based menu and environmentally conscious practices. Perhaps I caught them on an off day. " (*Curated Review*)
