Comment: We have been dining at Zen for over 20 years. Highly recommend. Im an old Chef and I dabble in Asian Cuisine. It was nice to run into the owner at Global Foods, when picking up a few things to cook dinner. Have to say that Ive had some of the spicest dishes there, of course at my request. I always recommend Zen to my friends.

Comment: UPDATE:Zen just moved to a different location and omg the vibes of the new place is amazing. Modern decor and everything else definitely feels more upscale. The food is still solid and they added more drink options so that was a pleasant surprise. I will definitely be coming back to dine in more often!Compared to the other Thai restaurants in St. Louis Zen is definitely one of the best. The food is great and best of all the price is really inexpensive. The portions is good and the food comes out relatively quickly. However, when it gets busy its very clear the kitchen gets backed up making the food come out dramatically slower than usual. The service is usually good here. Everyone is nice and cheerful. I would definitely recommend Zen.

Comment: New site is wonderful, spacious but the Thai cultural wall decor is still in a box. They just reopened in the new location so I wont complain but I miss the elephants! I got the yellow curry with Tofu, level 2. Just the right amount of heat. Awesome! My husbands ginger tilapia also very tasty. Same menu and pricing, same gracious family. New dishwater and music, a little trendier but still warm and welcoming. Love it!

Comment: Being a keen fan of Thai food, I have tried many Thai restaurants in the region. Zen Thai & Japanese is always what I come back too. Great food, and in true Asian culture, they serve you quickly and quietly UNLESS you want to talk and then you will find them all so very friendly and willing to converse. They are now moving into a nicer building and I cant wait to see how great things will be there!

Comment: Tucked away in a little shopping center is this charming restaurant. Inside, the vibe is cozy and welcoming. The service was delightful. We both ordered Massaman Curry with tofu and it was phenomenal. We dont get to that area if St. Louis county too much, but when we do, we are looking forward to returning here

Comment: Yum love their soup their soup is basically mushroom I’ve had better. And if you ask for Thai tea with no ice because they cram the glass full of it they charge you a extra .75 cents after your bills for one is 40.00 and you come twice a week . They have lost me as a customer cause I will now go to the great one in LAMPLIGHT SQUARE. Hope they enjoyed that 75 cents compared to the 60.00 I spent a week Bye

Comment: Did not expect a place that offers two different cuisine types to be excellent at either one, but they are. I got sushi (Zen roll) and it was the best sushi Ive had in the St Louis region. It was even better than the sushi I used to get when I lived in Seattle where there are tons of sushi restaurants. Can not wait to go back here.

Comment: I had fried sushi rolls they were fantastic. My husband had the Tom yum soup at a Level 2 But they were very heavy handed with the spice, they had to redo it because it was so spicy. He said it was much better after they remained it less spicy.

Comment: This was my first time eating at Zen and let me tell you, the food was delicious!!! I had the shrimp green curry and it was one of the best curry’s I’ve had in a long time . And I’ve had a lot of curry’s. I also got an order of crab rangoon, also delicious and the dipping sauce that comes with it was sweet and tasty. With my order I also received miso soup and two spring rolls (I had no clue that came with my curry order ), but happy it did because those two items were also delicious!!! I can tell heart and soul goes into this delicious meal I had cook for me, it was very authentic. I will be coming back!

Comment: First of all the food is very good. Although it is in a half deserted strip mall it does leave plenty of parking available. The turn into the lot was a bit nail biting as we were facing up a blind Hill to make a left at a blinking arrow to cross two lanes of busy traffic. The inside fairly typical shwag/decorations, could use a good dusting...the ceiling vents were very visibly untouched for a very long time.

Comment: A hidden gem tucked away in a dead strip mall. Excellent food and great service. Ive mostly ordered off their Thai menu and have yet to be disappointed. (I strongly suggest treating yourself to a meal here after you have made a blood or plasma donation across the parking lot at the American Red Cross.) Most recently, my girlfriend and I enjoyed the drunken noodles, the spicy basil (with eggplant), and the pineapple curry duck.

Comment: If I could rate more than five stars I would. This is my favorite place to eat in the world. Friendly people and the best tasting food I have ever eaten. I am not a Thai food expert, but whenever I have people familiar with thai food from around this country eat here they are always blown away. I have not had a lot from the Japanese menu but what little I have had was delicious. The sushi I have only had a couple of times and it was not super memorable. Yellow Thai curry and the drunken noodles are phenomenal. The spring rolls are a great starter. I have eaten here countless times, starting as a kid not long after they opened, and never once had a bad experience. The atmosphere when I dine in is very comfortable and the service is super friendly.

Comment: Plentiful and good! Service a bit off but gracious. One thing we found odd is that entrees come out as theyve been cooked so everyone gets theirs at different times....sometimes one entree would be gone before another arrived at the table...maybe a staffing issue in the kitchen? Everything was very tasty! Chicken satay, eel and tempura!

Comment: Yesterday we had lunch at Z E N Thai & Japanese Cuisine in Crestwood. It’s a clean, friendly, modest, out of the way place. The food was pretty good and covers the range from Omni to vegetarian to vegan.Spicy… the food also covers ‘spicy’ from mild to ‘watering eyes’. Though I personally stick to medium heat, l could tell by my meal that the next three levels up would probably require lots more napkins and something better than the jasmine tea we had.In all, great meal. Another place we’ll visit again.QuietFriendlyNot to priceyGood food

Comment: Just fantastic sushi and Thai food. I work two doubles each week, and some weeks I order out. This week I ordered from Zen Thai.I ordered the Philadelphia Roll, Zen Roll, and vegetable tempura for Thursday night. On Friday night I reheated salmon katsu, a bit of rice, a side of Panang curry sauce, steamed veggies, and Tom Kha soup with tofu. Both meals were delicious. Undoubtedly, though, the best part was the incredibly soft, almost buttery salmon in the Philadelphia Roll. The quality was astounding, especially considering the very reasonable price!I wish Id thought to get pictures of the salmon katsu meal, but was reheating things while working. I reheated the salmon katsu in the oven and microwaved the rest. That katsu sauce is phenomenal!

Comment: We had an amazing experience here! This place does a good job with both Thai and Japanese cuisine, and the service is fantastic. We were served immediately after we ordered, and the waitress was very quick in refilling water & bringing out more sauces, etc. The owner of the place (I think she is) also came to check in on us and she is an absolute delight. Will definitely come back!

Comment: Food was delicious and ready very quickly. But the customer service was the best I have experienced in some time. My daughter wanted miso soup for her Birthday and the reviews were very good, so we gave it a try. Got home but no miso soup. Called up and they personally delivered it. We’ll go back and tell others for a lifetime. Thank you for the amazing service!

I decided with one of the crab stick rolls and the spicy tuna, both of which were rolled beautifully and had decent sushi rice. I will definitely be back.

Comment: Tom yum soup is very tasty, steamed dumplings, pot stickers are delicious. Love the seaweed salad but if you get it to go, expect very little in everything. Ive only gotten door dash or pick up they only include 4 of the dumplings and 4 potstickers when you order to go-most places Typicallygive you six. The same with Tom yum soup. I ordered large and it seemed really small. Which I was kind of disappointed in that. Delicious just small servings. Nor sure if its different when you dine in.

Comment: We love Zen! After the first few visits we pretty much had our favorites figured out. They include the thai fresh spring rolls, the chicken curry puffs, the fried potstickers, and I get the panang curry with chicken and my wife gets the mussaman curry with tofu. We have never had an issue eating there until the most recent time. We ordered pickup like we always do, and our order was ready when we got there, I wonder now how long it was ready before we got it. Shortly after getting home I noticed the currys had become separated. I didnt think anything of it at the time, I just shook them up and proceeded like usual. My wife and I both had several trips out of bed that night. Still giving four stars because out of more than 6 years of eating there this was our only negative experience.

Comment: This was our second time. Our first time we all had drunken noodles and it was very tasty but we all way over estimated our spice tolerance. So this time we went back and all had level 1s and 0s. I think the level 1 this time was as spicy and last times level 3. We joking asked the waitress if those were level 3s and she told us that we could get a level 0 next time and they will bring the spice on the side and add what we wanted. She was very helpful and courteous. The fried sushi rolls were great as well . I will definitely change from 4 stars to 5 if the level 0 and add your own spice thing works out next time.

Comment: Sunday and a little hung over. Needed some comfort in my life. Get to searching and came across this little hidden gem.Quaint little place with modern decor an a traditional touch of ancient relics on the walls.Open kitchen format. I could view who was back there and with a Cambodian wife I know the older generations hold the most delicious recipes. I was excited.Beef Jerky was amazing. Slight dip into some Sriracha and crisp lettuce hit right!Edamame came extra salty which I prefer.Crying Tiger was real good with the sauce.Lobster sushi roll was nicely done.Lobster drunken noodles looked amazing but before I could grab a bite my better half covered it in crushed red pepper and thats not my cup of tea.The service was very comforting and super respectful with a courteous bow of respect everytime something was dropped off. Very appreciative of that.I have so many more things to try. I will see you soon!

All the staff were wearing masks and had the tables spaced adequately apart.On this visit I ordered the Pot Stickers, Pineapple Duck Curry, and. Thai Iced Tea. The pot stickers were served in a scrumptious curry sauce. The Duck was tender and juicy with a sauce that was pleasantly spiced and spicy. The service was very fast and the facilities clean with cool photos from Thailand.

Comment: This was one of the few great experiences I’ve had with new Asian restaurants, I have a problem with only getting what I know so while I was in St. Louis, I decided to get two new dishes at this place and they were amazing. So amazing that I got another two new dishes at the same place the next day. The proportions are big for their prices and the food is absolutely delicious. I never even leave reviews but this place deserves a good rating. The staff is also very friendly and with how delicious the food was, the service was also fairly quick and easy.

Comment: The Zen Restaurant in Crestwood, MO, has earned plenty of awards and notoriety for its phenomenal array of Sushi and cooked Thai entrees. Its a busy, cozy, unassuming little dining spot which recently added a third room for seating and tables. The Tom Kha Soup ranks among the best anywhere and appetizers and entrees are exactly as described in the menu. Ive not yet had a Zen meal which was not simply wonderful. Its a great place! (I am not a robot and nobody paid me for this review).

Comment: A quaint little restaurant, tucked into a non-descript strip mall. The food was above average, and they did have a wide variety of options on the menu. The service was EXCELLENT, the servers worked as a team, and we were never left wanting. The three of us who went each got a different soup, all of which were delicious. All our entrees were great as well. We ordered the drunken noodles with chicken, unagi don (japanese bbq eel), and pineapple curry duck. Ive lived in the area for many years, but just went here for the first time. I wish I would have discovered it earlier. Either way, we will definitely be visiting again!

Comment: Really good Thai. The Drunken Noodles were tasty. I went with level 5 spice and it was just enough heat without going overboard. I like spicy food though.We were here the night before Thanksgiving and it was fairly crowded. The reason I took a star away is because they just didnt handle it well. We waited up front for maybe 5-10 minutes with a few other groups before anyone even asked how many were in each party. Then they didnt come back again for another 5-10 minutes. The service didnt get much better once we finally did get a table. Maybe just a bad night.

Comment: Best Thai in St. Louis. Pad Thai is my personal favorite dish but everything Ive had is fresh, fast, and served with a smile. One of the hidden treasures of this place is the sushi which is amazing and so cheap. Come with the family or on a date. Its a great time.

Comment: Zen has been our go-to for take out for the last 3 years now. We started going for the pineapple fried rice. I love trying new dishes there and have never been disappointed . My boyfriend gets the pad Thai almost every time. We also never have to wait long when we order take out, maybe 20 minuets at most. Love, love, love this place!

Comment: First time eating here; had the tempura shrimp and vegetables - great! Fast service. If you like spicy or not, you can ask for adjusted heat to your entrees.

Comment: Love the Thai curry! My wifes was a little too spicy, #2, but mine was perfect. And they corrected my wifes dish without hesitation. Staff is very friendly and even took time to explain how the curry spices rank. Will be back!

Comment: I got a spicy tuna roll and the chicken pad Thai, and the roll came first. Roll was fantastic, each piece gave me pause as I savored. Pad Thai was great as well, spicy level 2 had me heated just the right amount. Wrapped up the meal with the pictured sticky rice with mango. Highly recommended.

Comment: This is an interesting jewel of a place to check out. I went here with a buddy to check it out and we both enjoyed it. Their food is delicious. Also since they serve multiple cuisines, there is a wide variety of food to choose from. The restaurant itself is quite quaint and clean. The staff took great care of us. This is a place I plan on visiting again.

Comment: Food was delicious, enjoy choosing my spicy level for those dishes. BTW a four wasnt killer, just a little hotter than the regular dish. Great service, very clean, comfortable.

Comment: I really like this restaurant. Nice staff, great food, even if Im typically unsure of what to get. The curry puffs were flaky, which I didnt expect, however. I do like the udon and soba though. Id recommend a first-timer potentially start there, unless they like lamb - in which case Id say start there as a friend ALWAYS gets that.

Comment: We stopped in at Zen for dinner on Saturday at about 6:30 pm. The restaurant is fairly small and hidden away in a strip mall. There were only 3 tables of customers when we arrived. We were seated in the back where an old western was playing on a tv. Our server was nice, but seemed overwhelmed trying to keep up with the number of customers.We ordered the Drunken Noodles (spicy level 3). The dish was tasty and the spice level was nice. I could have done without the pickled baby corn, but it was not a huge distraction. My biggest issue was the noodles. Im pretty sure we were served the noodles from a packet of instant Ramen. They were thin, curled, and lacked any kind of flavor.The Ramen issue aside, the rest of the meal was enjoyable, and we will be back in the future.

Comment: I went to this place for the first time for dinner. It was excellent. My husband and I both shared the Z E N roll and an entrée order of chicken spicy fried rice. Sushi is my favorite food and the sushi roll we ordered was definitely up to par on my standards. We will be back.

Comment: My favorite for Thai food in the area. Lots of options, but despite that I just keep ordering the curry. Casual, not usually too crowded. Plenty of great dishes without meat. We dont go there for the sushi, but that has been good every time weve tried it.

Comment: Our family of five LOVES Zen. My daughter begs for to go there. Ive been to many Thai restaurants and its one of my favorites. I wish the curry sauces were a little thicker, but the flavors are excellent. My recent favorite has been the spicy basil. Yum!

Comment: It truly is a proper Japanese/Thai fusion spot. Not too pricy, Family owned. Everything is good.. I recommend trying the Dragon roll and Panang Curry, definitely two of the best dishes in the house. the barbecue eel is also super delicious. Look out for the house specials, too.

Comment: Family Run business, Son waited on us excellent service. Made a mistake charging us for 1 on entree twice. Ordered Pad Thai & Eel & Rice, loved them both BUT The fried banana with sticky rice, Whipped cream and coconut ice cream drizzled with honey was to die for!

Comment: This is my favorite Thai restaurant in the area. Ive been coming here for a year to pick up takeout and to eat in. The dish is flavorful and incredibly excellent. Every time, the meal is served really quickly. Excellent cuisine; the entire menu is worth sampling, but the curry and pad thai are my personal favorites. Good hospitality is shown. Friendly staff provides excellent client service. Love getting takeout or a quick bite here. Unquestionably a fantastic spot for Thai food.Update: there new location is awesome, lots more room but still the same friendly staff and amazing food
