First visit and the food was great. Very tasty. Next time I'm in folkestone I'll definitely eat there again. Staff very friendly and polite and chatty. Outstanding visit.

Craving something that I won't cook for myself and dropped by here late o a cold Thursday in January. The restaurant and welcome were warm and we could sit almost anywhere as there were just a few patrons (most restaurants here are closed during Jan). The starter of oriental ribs had the best sauce I've had outside of fancy London places) withmeltinglysoft meat. The pumpkin croquettes were not too strongly flavoured and had a good chilli dip. The mains were Satay and Szechuan chicken, with a very good Singapore rice. Portions were generous and extremely flavoursome along with a reasonable amount of chilli on the rice and Szechuan. Staff were top class, attentive but retired to allow you to eat and enjoy. Overall a fusion that works and we appreciated the flavours and textures. We also talked with the owner/chef and will try the recipe for "confinement soup" which isn't on menu, but is delicious.

Ate here on Friday 6th January whilst out exploring. Possibly the best Chinese I've had for a long time. They advised us to share the special fried rice as were going to order 1 each and was good advice as it was a very generous bowl. If I'm in the area again would definitely go

Return visit after some time.Tuesday night quiet everywhere in Folkestone but Zen pretty busy.Their successful formula is good food,reasonable prices and friendly efficient service. Nice selection of curries,rice noodles etc so spoilt for choice-we had smoked chicken,satay and crispy chilli beef for starters and mains were 2 katsu curries[one lemon] and kungpo chicken-plus 2 soft drinks and one beer.Food tasty and very good portions-nearly all customers had containers to take home food they were unable to finish.With mains about £7 and rice with it for £3 you can eat pretty well for £10-12 which these days is pretty good-our bill for 3 was £50. Strange kitsch decor but thats part of its charm.

An amazing little Chinese that delivers on all fronts. The food was served hot, extremely tasty and not oily or too salty. The service was great too and always with a smile. Plus, the prices are very fair and offer fantastic value.We recommend the beef in black bean sauce too!

What a great way to spend an evening, staff were excellent food was amazing with just the right portion sizes and arrived quickly, would definitely recommend this lovely restaurant to anyone.

Sadly not a great experience for me. While the food was adequate, service was very poor. The starter came up the same time as the main course and the waitress seemed perplexed when I asked for the main to be kept hot. In addition those coming in after me were served first. Would not recommend.

So pleased this restaurant has reopened. Its food is fresh, delicious, reasonable priced and comes in good sized portions. We always order a mixture of appetisers and share amongst us all with a side of rice each and it's a feast! Can highly recommend the wasabi prawns. Staff are attentive and friendly. Restaurant is always clean and bright. Could do with adding some cocktails to the menu to complete the vibe but that's just a personal preference. Highly recommend.

Me and my fiancé absolutely love going here, the food is incredible. We took my fiancés sons with us and even the oldest enjoyed trying new food and said he wanted to come back. Service is always excellent.Kid-friendliness: The waitress was so lovely when we asked whether we could wait to order my fiancés sons mains, his eldest wanted to try the dishes we were having before making a decision on what he wanted.

Still great food and very good pricing, definitely be returning
