    Poor customer service! On weekends it's almost impossible to take a seat on the place. I also saw a couple of elderly people having to wait at entrance and they didn't even bother to get them a seat at least. We had to wait for about 30 mins to get it and when we managed to enter they gave us a table under the sun rays, it bothered us and they refused to change the table or even to move it, finally we had leave the place. We went on week days and there were not many people and things went better. Btw we consumed 4,000 DOP just to be said that they don't gift anything for a customer bday. I don't think im going back again. Neither the food isn't tasty. And prices are expensive compared to quality.

    EXCELLENT food. We have eaten there twice and all 3 of us have tried different dishes and they were all delicious. The first time we were there we had an older gentleman as our server and he lacked personality and didn't come back to check on us at all. We had to seek him out just to get the check. He didnt seem to care. Today, we had a tall young gentleman near the entrance and he was fantastic. Very kind and attentive. I highly recommend this restaurant. No matter what you choose, you will love it. My favorites are the pork belly appetizer and the steak entree with peppers and onions.

    If there is a restaurant in Santo Domingo that I would recommend, then this restaurant is one of them. The interior design knows about Asian replicating aesthetics. The soft music, intimate setting, the amalgamation of light and dark tones has the ability to transports you outside of Santo Domingo bustle and noisy atmosphere. And the food at the restaurant is absolutely delicious. Though the workers do not speak English fluently, they are attentive, friendly and willing to help. I would recommend trying a purple tea (I do not recall the name). The presentation is always different, and it is tasty. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Superb food and service. The eggplant is to die for, and everything else was just as delicious. Sophisticated yet not stuffy ambience.

    I truly didn’t like anything. We were 4, 2 parents with 2 kids. The service kept forgetting our order and was slow to bring things, even when it wasn’t jammed at all. The food had good portions, looked good BUT the taste was over-seasoned! Too salty, too greasy, and extra seasoned. This is my second time here and I definitely won’t give it another try. The place looks very nice but I won’t repeat the experience. (PD: We are big fans of Chinese food!)

    Ribs and fried rice were uneatable. The service was great. The orange chicken was ok. The place was beautiful.

    I went to have a night out with my teenage daughter. She loves Asian EVERYTHING. It's conveniently located, the setup is very comfortable, the food is amazing, not too expensive, and good variety. I had an appetizer, main course, 1 beer and a passion fruit juice. My daughter had 2 appetizers, 1 roll, and a passion fruit juice. We shared dessert and the total bill didn't even reach US$50, including taxes. I don't know if the cocktails and wines are expensive since we didn't have any. If you want great, affordable Asian food, in a quiet setting, go here, you won't regret it.

    This is an intimate and beautiful restaurant with a large selection of dishes. The Asian pork belly was the best of the food I tried, which was crispy and had great flavor. The wonton dumplings were good. The texture of the orange beef was not my favorite, but it did have good flavor.

    We didn’t even get a chance to rate the food. The waitress was absolutely rude. Never mention her name or greeted us then proceeded to sound un interested. Zen Kitchen needs to invest in customer service training for their employees.

    The only reason for 3 stars is because the food was delicious. There isn't a good manager, that's why everything takes too long, you have to ask the same thing multiple times (one girl was very sweet and was running to please the guests, but she was the only one.) There was another women working to serve food and drinks, you can ask anything, it doesn't matter. She never comes back with anything you ask, she likes it way more to talk to her college at the bar all the time. We asked for a straw and mayonaise and we never got anything from her. Also the dishes don't arrive at the same time. They also don't have English menu so we had to translate the whole menu ourselves. If you don't mind waiting, and asking the same thing several times the food is worth it. (Also, the Pina colada is better without the alcohol, they put in too much)

    Nice spot at the entrance of Galeria 360. Cool decor and polite staff. Only 1 of them spoke English. They have free wifi for customers, you just need to ask for the password. Excellent mojito and tasty asian food. The pork belly was delicious!

👍👍 The venue is very cute, the view on the ocean is spectacular. The staff was super friendly this day. The food was really good and arrived extremely fast. I had Mofongo (So delicious) and Sancocho (very good)! The only pros was the dessert.
