👍👍 Ate here for the first time today with my daughter and it was brilliant. Fast service and exceptional food. Waiter was very friendly and efficient. Be warned - generous portions so you might want to ask for a doggy bag! Can't wait to come back. People often mention service, great, recommend, good, prawns,

    Me and my fiancé absolutely love going here, the food is incredible. We took my fiancés sons with us and even the oldest enjoyed trying new food and said he wanted to come back. Service is always excellent.

    So pleased this restaurant has reopened. Its food is fresh, delicious, reasonable priced and comes in good sized portions. We always order a mixture of appetisers and share amongst us all with a side of rice each and it's a feast! Can highly recommend the wasabi prawns. Staff are attentive and friendly. Restaurant is always clean and bright. Could do with adding some cocktails to the menu to complete the vibe but that's just a personal preference. Highly recommend.

    Service was quick and friendly. Slight mishap with our order but it was immediately corrected. Quite an extensive menu to choose from. Kung po chicken, salt and chili prawns and won ton ramen were really tasty. Reasonably priced. I'd definitely go there again!

    Visited the Zen Kafe recently and had an amazing experience. The staff were friendly and very helpful, and the food itself was fantastic! My partner and I both went with a big noodle bowl and to say the portions are generous really doesn't do it justice. We were presented with a huge bowl of delicious noodles each. The broth was light and flavourful, the noodles springy and perfectly cooked. I wholeheartedly recommend giving this place a try if you're in the mood for ramen.

    WASABI PRAWNS! We love the Zen Cafe. The waitress was lovely and as eclectic as the place itself. We ordered a Zen Combo (duck and pork in a yummy sauce), honey ribs (sweet and soft), egg fried rice and sweet wasabi prawns. Everything was really tasty but the sweet wasabi prawns were spectacular! Wasabi is spicy like mustard but the sauce on these prawns had only a hint of wasabi and sweetness. If you are ever in Folkestone at least try the wasabi prawns.

    With the recent menu revamp streamlining the options Zen Kafe is able to shine where it counts, delivering great food, with great service.

    Ate here on Friday 6th January whilst out exploring. Possibly the best Chinese I've had for a long time. They advised us to share the special fried rice as were going to order 1 each and was good advice as it was a very generous bowl. If I'm in the area again would definitely go back

    An amazing little Chinese that delivers on all fronts. The food was served hot, extremely tasty and not oily or too salty. The service was great too and always with a smile. Plus, the prices are very fair and offer fantastic value. We recommend the beef in black bean sauce too!

    Sadly not a great experience for me. While the food was adequate, service was very poor. The starter came up the same time as the main course and the waitress seemed perplexed when I asked for the main to be kept hot. In addition those coming in after me were served first. Would not recommend.
