The Japanese word ZEN derived from the Chinese word Pinyin “chan” which is derived from Sanskrit Dhyana “meditation”. Chan is one of the many Buddhist terms in Chinese that originate in India the homeland of Buddhism, which was later spread all over South East Asia & the world. We at Zen tried to create a menu mostly influenced from East Asian cuisine. Contemporary vision, traditional roots, these are the qualities that highlight a dining experience at Zen. This is more than just a meal it is a true culinary experience that is simply Zen. Canada is a multicultural country comprised of people with diverse backgrounds. The menu at Zen is created in part from this diversity & strives to become a place where guests could dine at comfortably. We believe that the restaurant is also a form of entertainment. By providing great service, beautiful food presentation & delicious cuisine we believe guests will have the best experience possible at Zen. -The Zen Team
