Zen Gardens - South Burlington

Zen garden is always a favorite, consistently delicious and tasty dishes, we often order for pick up and never had an issue. Better than the other Chinese restaurants and a little pricier but the quality is worth it.

Stumbled upon this place because our large party wanted Chinese for dinner. Clean, spacious and very accommodating. We had a large variety of dishes and our 2 Vegan guests were very happy with the options. No butter and diary and they talked to us about how every dish was made. Close to downtown by car and a real crowd pleaser!

Though I have high standards for American Adapted Chinese food and I believe that Vermont is a low point in Chinese food history, this restaurant is great. Wonderful eggplant, Mala chicken real and mock and I love the vegetable dumplings. Good service and overall a great restaurant.

The food was tasty but 2 main problems. First, the food was not served hot. It was barely warm. Second, the noise in the dining room was simply awful. I'm not talking about noise caused by patrons. There was only one other party in the dining room. The noise was caused primarily by the phones ringing all the time and very loud. It seemed like they had the phone ringers on some sort of loud speaker and they were ringing non stop. I guess they do a lot of take out business but it was incredibly disturbing to try to eat with this very loud ringing constantly. The other noise was some obnoxious electronic music playing too loud in the dining room. My suggestion if you want to try the food here, do take out, don't eat in the dining room. That way you can re heat the food in your microwave because they're going to serve it cold to you in the dining room anyway, and you wont have to listen to all the obnoxious noise while you eat!

Amazing fried rice. My favorite spot for Chinese in VT I’m a picky person lol
