Zen - South Kesteven

We were in Stamford and craving Chinese food, so we decided to finally give this place a try after passing it multiple times. Despite some negative reviews, we were pleasantly surprised by the delicious food. We ordered vegetables with cashew nuts, a variety of veggies, zen special fried rice, which was excellent, and chicken balls, although the portion size was a bit small. We will definitely be returning for more tasty dishes. Keep up the good work!

We understand the poor historic reviews as we had a takeaway 3 4 years ago and it was watery and red tasteless. However it is now under new ownership!! They clearly have new chefs as since September 2021 all of our takeaways from here have been fabulous both food wise and the delivery times have been 30 45 minutes max. In Stamford. I would now highly recommend Zen especially their Crispy Aromatic Duck!!

We rarely have takeaway and haven’t had Chinese for a long time so we were really looking forward to this. Sadly, the thought of it was much better than reality. We spent nearly £30 on a whole crispy duck but it was so dry we couldn’t eat it with the pancakes. Instead, we’re going to heat it up tomorrow with lots of gravy!!

This used to be our favourite but our last takeaway was awful, dishes smelling and tasting of dishwater if there was any taste at all. We no longer use them, such a shame

Im not surprised this place has such low scores. Using ot for the first time last night and it was a large order for dinner for 7. Frankly every dish was disappointing, bland, tepid and didnt resemble the equivalent from other chinese takeaways. Not a very well spent £70. Next time will stick with what I know!
