“ Good drinks and food. Fenomenal people working in this place, service is totally good. ”

“ Super nice ambiance and nice bar inside. The drinks are excellent and fresh (all syrups and ingredients made in-house - HUGE difference). Service was really good and the manager even came over to ask how everything was. After telling him the rice was mediocre he went and spoke to the cooks immediately. The Gen Tso Cauliflower was excellent (and I am not a big fan of cauliflower or vegetables). Chicken was super good. The matcha lava cake was incredible (I am not a big matcha fan). Will definitely revisit and recommend to others. ”

“ The food and service here is always a top-notch! Tried it here when they just opened last year and celebrated last NYE with my friends too, always a wonderful experience from delicious food to their attentive service to the charming ambiance. ”

“ Been here a couple of times already--both the food and service are top-tier. I'll definitely keep coming back for more! ”

“ Let me start off by saying, the food here is ABSOLUTELY divine. I came here with a group of girls for dinner, and dish after dish, I was not disappointed. We split a handful of appetizers. We ordered the crispy sushi, chicken wings, bone marrow and steamed buns along with the tuna tartar. The bone marrow was by far our favorite dish! The bone marrow was so soft and flavorful, we all wanted more! I truly cannot say one bad thing. For my entree I ordered the short rib. I am a sucker for short rib, and let me tell you, I cleared my plate that night! I genuinely am rating this place though, 3.5/5 stars. The ambiance is cool, for the younger crowd. I say that because the music was BLASTING all night long. I could barely hear what the person next to me was saying. When I tell you, my girls and I were relieved when we stepped out of that restaurant, because we could actually hear our own thoughts, I'm not kidding. Definitely take that into consideration when you visit. If you're trying to have a nice calm night out, this wouldn't be the place to go. ”

“ New upscale restaurant in Astoria is giving all the vibes If you're looking for a sexy date night or place to celebrate a birthday, promotion or anniversary... then this is the place for you It's giving all the vibes of a NYC restaurant without the traffic and hustle of going into the city Zen Astoria is an Asian Fusion restaurant that recently opened with lots of photo opportunities or the perfect place to set the mood and impress your date. The drinks were delicious and crafted to perfection and the food honestly was delicious. I absolutely loved the Wagyu Crispy Nigiri that was torched table side for a great show. I did order a salad that I didn't receive but I had so much food that I wasn't too upset. Lastly, the Lobster fried rice is a must try and had generous amounts of lobster in each bite. If you want a sweet treat I'd definitely go for the Ube Cheesecake. It wasn't too sweet and I loved the presentation with the edible glitter Thank you @zenastoria for having me and as always, be sure to this post and join me for more NYC Foodie adventures What We Had * Wagyu Crispy Nigiri * Lo Mein * Zen's Lobster Fried Rice * Salt & Pepper Tiger Prawns * Sweet & Sour Chicken * Ube Cheesecake * Dancing Bee (Espresso Martini) Zen Astoria 37-20 30th Ave, New York, NY 11103 Date night nyc, date night Astoria, asian fusion near me, upscale date night, upscale restaurants nyc, birthday restaurants nyc, birthday restaurants Astoria, upscale asian restaurants nyc, ”

“ What a place!! The decor is 10/10. Sultry yet exciting. Beautiful art all over, different type of seating: table top, booth tables.. Service: our server Brianna was excellent and attentive. Food: fresh.. and delicious.. the chicken fried rice was 12/10. Veggies were firm and crunchy which I love. Orange chicken. Was moist yet crunchy and flavorful. Chicken wings were regular. Nothing to write home about, missing the flavor pop!! Would not get again. Drinks were a bit pricy but delicious. ”

“ We initially planned to go to a different restaurant but as we were waking by zen the music made us rethink our dinner choices for the night haha. Spontaneous adventures are always the start to a great night. Don't mind the cowgirl outfit, it's Halloween weekend. So the story goes like this, a cowgirl and Kim possible walked into Zen.. The host was super sweet. The place was pretty busy as expected for a Saturday night but we were able to be seated at the bar right away. The bartender was very attentive and the service was great ! The overall atmosphere of the restaurant is a 10/10. A sexy little date night spot..and in our case perfect for a girls night out. The crispy sushi was my fav. These quick bites leaves you hungry for more. The calamari to my surprise was amazing! Calamari is always a starter for my friends and I - it's been a while since I've had some that I enjoyed, so I wasn't expecting much here. I am so glad to say I was pleasantly surprised. 10/10 I went home and raved about to my sibling because they need to try these! The lo mein was tasty and the portion was hugeee. Glad we ordered to share! I would love to come back whenever I'm in the area next. Highly recommend! ”
