What Kristen Murphy likes about Zen Chinese Bistro:
Standout Chinese restaurant in Portland. The owner, Kamal, was very kind and let us dine in. They don't offer much dine in since they can't keep staff. We live about an hour away and needed a place to eat after the Christmas concert. My 95 year old grandmother had requested Chinese food that we could take to her, so we were glad to be able to takeaway from here. We had hot and sour soup, pork dumplings, and bbq spare...

What John Wallace doesn't like about Zen Chinese Bistro:
Best Chinese style food we had in years! We highly recommend it. Four of us went for dinner. All the entrees and appetizers were judged to be delicious: meat, seafood and vegetarian. Gluten free is clearly marked on the menus and very welcoming. Free parking after 5:00, call ahead to check for seating vs take out. We'll be back. View all feedback.

"Been here several times in the past and the food never disappoints. The peach salad appetizer was amazing with warmed peppers on top. The Blackberry brown butter tart with dulce de leche ice cream was also superb! Service was a tad slow and the prices have increased, though that's not uncommon across the industry. Still love the open kitchen vibe, bread, wine list and house cocktails. If you are looking for a decadent night out in Portland, ME, this should be your destination"
