Zen Box Izakaya

Chinner

Zen Box is a very casual restaurant with a good Japanese aesthetic and upbeat Japanese music. The gyoza and curry we had was pretty solid as was the Peach Chuhai beverage and green tea mochi. The staff doesn't need to do too much other than seat you and bring your food as you order and pay through your mobile device, but all interactions with the staff were friendly. Overall it might be a tad pricey for what you get, but there are no complaints with quality or speed of food and service.

Good place. Food is good and typical Japanese dishes you find in the US. Food is a bit pricy, but I'm a fan of their policy on how they deal with tips. Basically, they add 18% fee to your bill to cover employee wages and benefits, and you no longer tip. It's a nice change and I wish more restaurants would move to this model. I understand that it can negatively impact certain wait staff losing out on tips but I'm a fan of paying a living wage to your employees and doing away with tip culture, especially in the US. Overall good experience and I would go back.

Had such a good first experience, the servers are amazing and work together so well. Nico (hope i spelled your name right) was so nice, i asked him about the sakes and was conflicted on what i wanted and offered me samples of a couple. As a server myself i appreciated that so much because that just shows you care about your job and want people to enjoy their experiences. Honestly 20/10 would recommend. Thank you again for the wonderful experience :)

I'm not a fan of ordering through your phone. No personal contact with any server. Nobody came back to check on us once our food was served. Gyoza dumplings were very good.. Ramen with pork was ok but not fantastic, looked better than it tasted. Bento box looked good. The treat of the night was the green tea tiramisu! Wow, outstanding!
