Zen noodles had so much to choose from! I went with ordering chicken bao buns which were soooo good, just what I needed. I got a side of the ribeye soup. It didn't come with noodles but I just took some noodles from my friends pho since it came with a ton. It was the perfect size

ZEN Noodle Bar in Temple Terrace, FL provided an exceptional dining experience from start to finish. The spicy Korean chicken wings and pork belly bao buns set the stage for a tantalizing meal. The Drunken Noodle with broad rice noodles and the Bulgogi Korean-Japanese Beef Ramen, featuring specialty bulgogi-marinated ribeye, added a delightful fusion of flavors. For dessert, the sesame balls, fried dough stuffed with red bean paste, were a sweet delight drizzled with condensed milk.To accompany our meal, we enjoyed TARO tea. Everything was served with impeccable attention by the manager, Chloe, and our server Iris. Their exceptional service mirrored the quality of the food ( Outstanding). The cozy atmosphere and overall ambience elevated the dining experience. ZEN Noodle Bar, with its pan-Asian cuisine, should undoubtedly be at the top of your go-to list for a memorable culinary journey.

Pretty good. I will say though...worst chili oil ever!! Whatever oil they use tastes off and the chili they use tastes way too smoky. Like a weird Mexican hot chili oil. It's terrible. They need to go back to the drawing board with the chili oil. Good pho though, good green curry, nice ambiance, and service is decent. Prices aren't bad.

I randomly saw this place while passing by. I would've never stopped here if I didn't have to go to the post office. This place is such a gem! After looking at some of the reviews and their instagram page I came back the next day to give them a shot and I'm so happy that I did! The food was SO GOOD - super fresh ingredients and our waitress was awesome. We had a chicken spring roll that was very delicious especially with the fish sauce, and I had a shrimp pad Thai. The space is beautiful and I'msuper surprised it didn't have more people in there because everything was a 10/10 for me. I look forward to going back for the Ramen Wednesday's. I've that's good - I think this will be a new go to location for me.

Came her with a lunch buddy, and enjoyed it thoroughly. The ambiance was elevated casual, and the background music was peaceful. Our server was attentive and friendly. We ordered steamed dumplings and octopus balls for starters, and bulgogi bowl and shaking beef for our entrees, and all was delicious. The entrees were generous, and we gladly took what we didn't finish home. The bulgogi was nicely seasoned, and the shaking beef made with tenderloin was tender and tasty as well. Appetizers were prepared well too.Definitely commands a return visit.

Stopped by for a feel good food and all time favorite - pho. The place was empty so we were seated very quickly. They had a great variety on their menu including Thai, Filipino, Japanese and Vietnamese dishes. We ordered the combination crispy noodles and pho tái sách. Food came out quick and service was painless and convenient. The portions, are HUGE. So worth the money for what you get, the crispy noodles were made really well. The sauce was the perfect density and taste, all their veggies were a great flavor and the noodles were not oily! The reason for the 3 stars was the pho, the broth lacked flavor as it was bland and not traditionally salty/savory. The onions (I love the raw onions in my pho) were cut fairly thick so each bite was pretty hard to enjoy as the onions really cut into the flavor of any sorts. The broth did not come out hot, rather warm and the noodles were all condensed since the broth was not hot enough so it was slightly difficult to eat. The bowl did come with a good amount of meat so the value was there, it was simply the temperature and the overwhelming onion chunks. I would actually try to come back and taste the other items on their menu as it was pretty appetizing in variety and the staff was kind but gave you your privacy/space. Overall a fair dining spot, for quick cravings.

Food was very, very tasty ! I had the zen ramen and my wife had the grilled pork noodles. The portions were on the large size, so bring your appetite. It was only slightly more expensive than say, Thin Anh, by maybe a dollar or so. Service was excellent! I told the server it was our first time and she took the time to explain which ones were the favorites of regulars, which were vegan options, etc. She was very attentive and efficient. Ambience was also way better than most Pho places. I realize that some don't mind the hustle and bustle type of place and some prefer a more sublime place (like for a date!) Overall, I would definitely come back AND recommend to friends!

Food was decent but our waiter this Asian kid was so weirdly rude to one of our family members talking about him audibly when serving us. That kid needs to learn to be respectful
