Zen Buffet - Temple City

This spot is the one I like best. I go to a lot of restaurants but to this one I keep coming back again and again. The team is very friendly and the cuisine they place on your table is so delicious. I never miss an opportunity to have a decent meal in this restaurant. I recommend this place with pleasure.

The only steam hotpot in town. Been there a couple of times, food seems better on weekends.

Fresh seafood steamed right in front of you. What more can you ask for. But because they steam the food right in front of you, dining might take a bit longer than average. Service is ok, when they're around, they're every attentive but there's usually only 2-3 servers at a time so they might not come around as much. They also have a very nice variety of dipping sauce.

I think it's more healthy that other hot pot. I really like it !

Rating actually: 3.5 Lunch……… 11AM to 3:30PM If your looking for a variety of Chinese food, good salad selections, soups,DimSum, nice veggies, and fried MoMO plus SUSHI rolls this is a deal about $9! I eat Sushi and Wasabi till my sinuses blow open! I like the salad choices, and cold Salmon to eat as cold side dish, and really love shredded sea weed, and other questionable Chinese things! I am cheap, so I only drink ice water always great lemons add. About $9 for lunch, drinks extra! Wasabi- 4 not hot not nasty for a powder mix! Sushi Rolls- 3.5 Seldom Uni, always a good mix Dim Sum- 3 Soups- 3 Ambiance- 3 Food Choices: 4 Salads: 3.5 Desert: 2.5 Parking: 4 Sorry no pictures… With Home Town Buffet across the street and few other Buffets about, then with Home Town Burnout, which has mostly low cost carbs, and over the years has downgraded food costs then if I am in a Buffet mood, and in Rosemead then I opt for Zen!!! Zen has many selections, but late afternoon they fail to restock most trays, in preparation for dinner Buffet! Best at around Noon.. never had Diarrhea eating here but then I am selective of choices! After lately $25 or more Japanese restaurants, and Chinese chop sui places charging $7 for a small plate Zen is Such A deal and few Buffet’s around Rosemead!!! I like value not Bistro Rip Off’s!
