Zen - Belfast

Surprisingly for an Asian restaurant, there are only three vegetarian mains on the extensive menu. I asked the waiter if the vegetarian options contained dairy products. He went away and checked and came back to tell me I couldn’t have any of the mains on the menu as they all contained dairy products. There was even egg in the Morinaga tofu and mushroom dish although this isn’t stated on the menu. I was offered a vegetable stir-fry with teriyaki sauce, which wasn’t listed on the menu. There are a couple of presumably vegan starters, including asparagus sushi, edamame beans a black bean and water chestnut lettuce wrap. The food was OK, but nothing special. There are better Asian restaurants in Belfast that do accommodate vegans.

Not a lot of vegan options, in fact there was no vegan main course on the menu. However the staff were accommodating. They offered me a veggie teriyaki which was so delicious. While it would be nice to have some options, I didn’t go hungry. I went to celebrate my birthday and my friend asked if they could do something for it that was vegan and they brought strawberries on ice which I thought was a nice touch. The cocktails were amazing

Not many vegan options here! Pretty sure the only one is teriyaki stir fry! For some reason they make the tofu with egg as well??? The stir fry was lovely though! And it's a beautiful, cool restaurant. Fab cocktails.

Trendy, fun atmosphere. They made a stir fry vegetable dish with white rice for me, as the vegetarian dishes on the menu are not vegan. Friendly service.

Absolutely fantastic as always, myself and my girlfriend are big fans of eating out an there is nowhere in Belfast we rather eat than zen. The service is excellent, the waiters go out of their way to help and to provide friendly service. The food is amazing and never fails to impress.
