Zen Vegetarian House

I LOVE Zen. My go-to local spot for Chinese food in the area. Extremely affordable and I usually have leftovers with their proportions. Their chicken nuggets and curry rolls are the surprise superstars on the menu, I highly recommend them.

If you are a vegetarian like me , you will love this place. They have virtually everything a normal Chinese food place has but in vegetarian form. Customer service here is also amazing , quite often the chefs in the back will say hi when you walk in and the woman at the front will always brighten up your day with her upbeat & uplifting attitude.

Amazing place, great health(ier) food. I miss being able to order from here, i'm JUST barely outside of the delivery radius now, so I can't get my fix of Zen Vegetarian. Wish there were similar places down here in southern Brooklyn

Their Seitan slaps! Mango 🥭 dish and black pepper Seitan off the hook. Cant wait to try more dishes

Two tables, cold inside, all plasticware. Basically Take-out and delivery. We went for the first time and everything was delicious! Service was prompt, polite and efficient. I ordered a meal to take home after we finished eating. Lunch special price was an excellent bargain. We'll definitely return. So many things on the menu I want to try!

I have been ordering from Zen for 14 years ! Their vegan/vegetarian food is delicious ! The lady that takes orders is my QUEEN ! She is always so nice, funny and in great spirits. The portions are generous and choices extensive. You need to try Zen Vegetarian food !

This place is so good! Such a solid neighborhood staple. As a meat eater, I was pleasantly surprised at how good all the plant-based dishes are (trying to cut back on how much meat I eat). The portions are generous too, and it's a nice change from some of the greasier Chinese food I eat. The lady who works at the front counter is super sweet - always nice chatting with her. The food always comes out hot and fast! Smoothies are great too.

I miss eating here! I recommend it all the time. Those chicken nuggets taste better than chicken and I’m no vegan! Please open another location in Greenpoint/ Williamsburg pleaseeee. And the delevery man was so nice, I think he’s the owners son. Miss you all❣️

Tried this for the first time Friday night, did an order for pick up and literally everything was so insanely delicious, not only that, but so generously portioned! The spring rolls, hot and sour soup, & Singapore style noodles & cookies and cream ice cream were outstanding. I can’t wait to try out their other dishes!

Delicious food and wonderful costumer service! I have been going here for years and the cashier is always polite and kind. Great vegan food at a amazing price!

This is the best vegan Chinese food in NYC. Not only that, but the people that run it are some of the sweetest and positive people. The woman that runs the front counter is the light of my life! I legitimately look forward to calling and seeing her. There’s so much that makes this neighborhood great, and this place is top of the list!

I love this place. The food is excellent and a good lunch special. The staff are kind and have wonderful energy.

Was that real chicken!? Order spring rolls with everything. They are super fresh! Thank me later. All of the food was delicious. Their Garlic Sauce is my favorite anywhere! Service was courteous and fast. Plus, the price is really good. I wanted to leave off a star💫 because the look of the shop could be so dope if they weren't hiding the interior with boxes in front of the windows. But, it seems unfortunately necessary to blend with the surrounding shops. The other shops need to step up. Come on Brooklyn. Anyway, Zen Vegetarian is well worth a few miles drive for their take out even if you're not vegetarian.

The fried chicken was really good. The seitan came out perfect and the "chicken" was crispy and hot fresh from the fryer.

Zen Vegetarian is always a pleasure to visit in the Flatbush area for vegetarians and non-vegetarians. Exceptional service. Delicious food. The lunch special is a fantastic deal. I highly recommend the sesame chicken, general tsos, and vegan cheesecake.

Menu is all vegetarian. Seems to be mostly vegan; not sure which items might not be vegan. I got the lunch special General Tsos Chicken. It’s white rice with soy chicken chunks with couple of broccoli. Came with a spring roll. Overall a decent price for the food. Wasn’t able to eat it all, granted I drank a lot water due to the weather. Place is close to prospect park so you can do a after meal walk

Ordered using Postmates and it took around 45 minutes during peak dinner hours. I ordered the Mango Soy Protein with white rice. Definitely enough for two meals as I'm sitting here with half my plate left to go. I also got the Scallion Pancake which came with sauce.

Very highly recommend for any vegetarian or vegan or if you don’t eat meat. Even if you do I would go here. Lunch special is definitely worth it and the mango dishes are so good. Fresh juices are great too and super great and nice service.

Love love love!! This is my new favorite togo spot. Food came quick. We got General Tso chicken, spring rolls, vegetarian dumplings, beef and broccoli, and the pad Thai! Everyone loved their food. The general Tso was amazing!! I will definitely be a regular here. This is definitely a gem in Flatbush.

Service is always quick and the food is amazing!!!!!! Had the chicken and mixed vegetables along with the drumsticks. Yummy!!!!!! (Brown Rice)

This is the place to get food if you’re vegetarian or vegan! The price is inexpensive, the food is divine, and the portions are big. They have so many healthy offerings yet all options are vegetarian or vegan. This is the spot, y’all!

i know God is real b/c They let me live around the corner from this place. this place is such a staple in my life, being vegan and on a budget. it says vegetarian (they’re Buddhist) but there’s no dairy or eggs, so it’s fully vegan. prices are super affordable and they have a wide array of options (i only wish they had a bit more cause i go there so often!) don’t sleep on the curry rolls. BUT!!! what makes this place SO GREAT is Yannee/Yen, the cashier - she is SUCH a star ⭐️ a sweet and spicy diva. she makes everyone smile and laugh, it’s impossible to be in a bad mood around her. she lifts our day even from a 30 second phone call! long live Yen 💛 Jai Zen 🪷

I am surprised and pleased that this business is still alive and thriving after all of these years! I used to eat here between 2013 to 2015! I moved away from New York but man I could go for some of that mango chicken with that steamed rice right about now! 😔

Everyone in our group felt the experience was worth repeating. The prices won't break your budget. Their menu tastes great and deserves your time. The culinary offerings and staff attention were notable. They handle every aspect professionally.

I enjoyed this Vegan Restaurant located in Brooklyn. They're Food is always Fresh and delicious. I'm always Satisfied buying Vegan food from ZEN.

One of the best vegan spots in the neighborhood. The lady at the front desk is always smiling and humorous. The food is incredible (chicken nuggets are my #1) and service is very quick. I usually order take out for pick up, have never stayed for a dine in.

The food is always consistent and the woman who runs the register is the friendliest person on earth

Delicious and affordable vegetarian Chinese food. Their General Tso’s chicken is a go to for me! The people that work at the cash register are always super nice.

One of my favorite spots! They have great lunch specials and the cheese cake is so good. I usually get the general toas lunch special with a soup and scallion pancakes as an appetizer.

Chinese takeout that hits the spot. I had ordered from Zen Vegetarian before and recently gave them another try. Glad I did because this order was much more satisfying. The General Tso’s is fiyah. The marinated soy chicken texture and flavor were on point. The vegan goddess stir-fry noodle was tasty. The Chinese broccoli and eggplant chili sauce rounded up the order. Gotta have those veggies. The only thing I’d wish for is to be easier to identify which dishes are vegan. The whole menu could actually be vegan. I am finding contradictory information online. If anyone knows, please share. Generous servings. Cash only for delivery. I would order more from Zen if they took credit cards. Please make it happen, Zen!

I ordered dinner from Zen via Uber Eats, and, I’m so happy I did! Everything was prepared fresh and to order, arrived steaming hot, with portions large enough to share or save for the next day. The protein fried rice will be a must with every order from now on, and the Singapore Mei Fun (a personal favorite) was fantastic, with flavors extremely reminiscent of the non-vegan version. Also, don’t forget to order the Salt & Pepper ‘Chicken’! You’ll be happy you did :) Thank you, Zen Vegetarian! I’ll be back very soon.

I had placed an order for their chicken sandwich, and pineapple fried rice. I must say the pineapple fried rice was super delicious and really good for how much you pay and get. As for the sandwich I had only ordered one but was given two which was cool however the sandwich was so bad. The patties they use were so thin the tomato they put on it was double the thickness. Not sure if they buy the patties pre made but it was so tough it almost felt like it wasn’t thawed out. Then it didn’t mix well with the avocado on it as well because of how tough it was. I’d probably come back again for the pineapple fried rice maybe some other dishes but I’d totally stay away from the sandwiches.

The food here is decent and offers a nice variety of vegetarian Chinese options (though not strictly vegan). However, the prices are quite high for what is provided. After spending over \$40 just on lunch, it was disappointing to find that extra charges apply for additional sauces or condiments. The overall service and approach feel similar to a standard local Chinese restaurant, without much that sets it apart beyond the vegetarian menu. The atmosphere could also use improvement, as the entrance and dining area do not create a particularly warm or inviting experience.

I highly recommend anyone searching on Doordash to look at this restaurant menu. Don't waste your money or time to order from Zen Vegetarian are most unorganized. How dare you come drop off my food delivery and not put any forks in my bag?

I could not stop snacking on the General Tso protein. I did not like the sauce it came with but it was delicious. The protein fried rice is always delightful. The teriyaki salmon was good it could of been much firmer . This restaurant give a generous about of food. LEFTOVERs for about two and a half days if you're not planning on going out on the weekend.

By far the worst vegan Chinese food I have ever seen. I ordered delivery and the general tso chicken was so burnt it was disgusting.

They refuse to use Doordash and/or Uber assigned drivers. I assume the reason is to cut outside cost. However their in house courier does not deliver to so many areas. So today I am in Flatbush and thought they would deliver but they still canceled my order saying they can't deliver. This is really annoying and frustrating and they suck for doing this!

The manager of the place was racist with me, I went for takeout and she got upset because I had a hard time understanding her English with a Chinese accent, when the food was ready she threw it at me and told me to "get out of here" It's the lady in the photo! Be careful!

Ordered via seamless and found a fly or a cockroach inside of my food deep at the bottom after having eaten most of it. I am completely disgusted and my customer service with the restaurant and seamless was piss poor and offered nothing.

11 dollar no beef no shrimps only some mushroom and some fake shrimp made of dough
