Zen Kitchen

Hidden gem! Beautiful lunch oasis. Quiet. Amazing. delicious. BEST CHICKEN TENDERS ANYWHERE.Dining room was overlooking the courtyard and was great to watch people. Very relaxing. Service was so attentive and so fast. Couldn't believe how wonderful it was. But it's the Waldorf, there isn't one thing bad about anything there. Will definitely be visiting soon

Food was great. Egg Florentine were delicious. Service was excellent. Time waiting was good too. Great view.

I had dinner Saturday night here and Sunday breakfast and WOW! Just wow. I've dined all over the world and I despise hotel restaurants because they are almost always lame (even high end resorts like Waldorfs). Not the Waldorf Las Vegas ... Amazing from start to finish. Dined for an early dinner with Akiko as our server. She was friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. Checked in on us frequently. I had one of the best filets I've had in my life! The mushrooms were a little cold but still so delicious. Wagyu fried rice ... perfection! It was offered as a side, I could have made that my meal. Breakfast was also amazing. Erick was our amazing server who suggested pancakes which my husband enjoyed and I had the most flavorful and perfectly cooked eggs Benedict ever. I asked for my coffee iced and it was served brilliantly. Whether you are staying at the hotel or just nearby you MUST stop by zen. The views from the large windows are great.

We walked in for a last minute anniversary dinner here last Monday and everything was great!We were immediately seated by the window and our server Tony was very attentive and friendly. We ordered- Charred octopus- Soft shelled crab roll- Wagyu fried rice- Salmon and tuna nigiri- SashimiThe charred octopus was fantastic!!! The sushi was very fresh and great portions!!! I loved everything we ordered! No complaints about the sushi, the fried rice was also pretty bomb! They even gave us a dessert for our anniversary that was fantastic marscapone cheesecake!Everything was exceptional and service was great! Thanks for the wonderful experience Tony!

Woke up early starving, and discovered this restaurant, I wanted to order one of everything but went with the avocado toast, and tea. It was a perfect start to my day! It's a classy place , and beautiful, the service is formal.

It was really easy to make a reservation for breakfast for 6 via the concierge while we were staying at the Waldorf for the weekend.All 6 members of my group were satisfied by their breakfasts, both vegans and non-vegans had plenty of options on the menu. If you're vegan, be sure to ask for the vegan menu which is separate from the non-vegan menu. There are vegan breakfast, lunch and vegan options. My breakfast burrito was very good! It had a generous amount of JustEgg and a minimal amount of black beans and chorizo. It was very filling, I would definitely order again. I was also happy that they have oat milk and was able to enjoy an iced oat latte with my burrito.Overall the vibe here is very calm and peaceful, especially since so many other places on the strip can be a lot. I would highly recommend to all vegans in Vegas.

I absolutely loved Zen Kitchen. It definitely lives up to its name as it is cool, calm, quiet and serene with a beautiful view in the Waldorf Astoria tucked behind the strip. It was a very welcome escape from all the crowds and heat of Vegas - the perfect first-night dinner. The service was excellent - everyone was so friendly - and the food was just fantastic. My brother had a sushi roll that looked so delicious, as well as a veggie udon bowl. I had the king salmon and it was the most perfect salmon ever. Seasoned and cooked to perfection. An absolutely delicious, beautiful dinner. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet, calm place on the strip with excellent healthy food.

Sake and Hamachi Nigiri (5/5)Freshness of the fish combined with a perfectly cooked sweet and tangy sushi rice always hits the spot!Kurobuta Pork Belly (4.5/5)The Kurobuta Pork Belly was under a cloche immersed with a flavorful smoke that supposedly should enhance the flavor of the dish. The succulent pork was harmonizing with carrot miso, crispy rice, and maple katsu sauce. Fillet Mignon (Creekstone Farms, Black Angus) (4/5)The Fillet Mignon from Creekstone Farms and Black Angus pedigree was pretty delicious. It was tender, flavorful, and on par with the offering of a decent steakhouse.Cabernet Sauvignon, Daou, Paso Robles, CA (5/5):The Daou Cabernet Sauvignon from Paso Robles, CA, has a velvety texture and robust notes.Vanilla Mascarpone Cheesecake (5/5):I loved the contrasting textures and flavors in this homemade creation--the crumbly graham cracker crust, the glossy berry wall, and the delicately delicious cheesecake. It was one of the best cheesecake I've ever had!

While in town, I usually stray from where I'm staying to a restaurant either on or off the strip. This time, I wanted to try Zen over at the Waldorf, which appeared to be walkable. Utilizing the fairly new walkway that connects Bellagio, Cosmopolitan and Aria/Vdara, I took advantage of this by cutting through Vdara, then outside over to Aria, then through Aria continuing back outside to the Waldorf-Astoria. This isn't a bad walk, but in 110+heat, it makes it a little difficult. I haven't been here since it was the Mandarin Oriental, so taking the elevator up was familiar, but instead of the lobby, I exited onto the third floor, where Zen is located to the left. I was seated right away by the windows, and a server came over to take my order. Since it was almost 11:30a, I wanted to try their chocolate-chip vanilla pancakes, alongside a hot chocolate (I know, it's too hot out but I had to). The cocoa was really good, and I had to wait a little for the pancake to be prepared which I didn't mind; they looked so good in the photos here, and I'm usually a waffle girl. Overall, these were fine. Nothing wrong with them, but they just didn't hit the spot as I had expected them to. I did enjoy how there were chocolate chips incorporated in each cake, and not just decorated for presentation on solely the top one. However, I did see other items on their menu that could be worth trying in the future (Waldorf chicken salad HAS to be great...right?)Service started off well but then switched to another employee near the end, which I found odd since the original server was just by the host area talking.Walking back, I realized I could have made my life easier by cutting through The Shops at Crystals (by Zegna), even staying on the same floor in order to get back to my hotel, but I learned the hard way, and got some exercise as well. However I do think they open at 11a so if you're looking for a true breakfast, you may have to find an alternative route.

I think 90% of the customers here are customers from the Astoria. We found it by searching for Gluten free pancakes and came over from the Aria.You have to take the elevator to the 3rd floor, with the construction and everything, nothing is labeled. But the pancakes were delicious. You wouldn't think it was gluten free, it was tender and moist.The Açaí bowl was something that is great for a hot day. It was cool and refreshing.
