Zen in Banning

Worth the drive. Never fails to satisfy.

The Panang Curry is the best around

Place is great! I had Chicken Rangoons for appetizers which were delicious. I had Crying Tiger Beef which comes in heat level from 1 to 5 with 5 being the hottest! Beware! That level of heat is not for the weak! But it was outstanding and flavorful. I also had Crispy Basil Chicken which was also amazing! Take out times are prompt and staff is really nice. Restaurant was clean and had tv's with a beautiful fish tank on dislpay.

The reason that this is one of the most loved restaurants in Banning is that the food is consistently delicious. Almost every entree can be converted to vegan or vegetarian styles. Their tofu is firm and beautifully cooked and their vegetables are crisp. For carnivores (like all of my family 😀), the meat dishes are crowd pleasers. There is something tasty for everyone.

I look for places that can bring the spice! This place did it. I still can taste it even 15 minutes after I ate. I ordered the seafood combination spicy, that alone was outstanding. I added the fish/chili sauce and that did it. Spice heaven! Good job, they even gave me some of that chili to go.

I loved this place. Food is good, service too. Nice atmosphere. Want to come back soon.

Great neighborhood restaurant. Take out and online ordering are easy. Prices are pretty reasonable.

This used to be one of our top 5 places to eat, but the last time we ate here was a little over a year ago, we moved out of state for 3 years, and now I'm back. Their menu has changed and my favorite items were removed. The food was just okay but nowhere near as good as it used to be. They also parted ways with some if the old staff, including a cook, who was phenomenal. lacking my old favorites and a having a new cook I won't go back anytime soon. My wife still loves the rolls, which I don't like so I cannot comment on those.

Delicious food, great waiters and food comes out very quickly. This place always hits the spot when I’m craving sushi and pad Thai. Their prices are very reasonable and you get a lot of food! My favorite drink is the raspberry iced tea, it’s delicious. Will continue to be a customer here!

Had a great birthday dinner once here. Love driving past it whenever in town, but I should stop in more for their delicious sushi. Serves beer including sapporo. I don't particularly reccomend their short selection of mixed drinks.

Each time we're in the area, we stop in. The food and service are equally great!

Very good food, and very reasonably priced. The building has a sun room in the front, which is nice in the winter. The yellow curry is very good and the glass noodles are amazing. Service could be a bit faster, but still within the acceptable range.

I celebrated my birthday last night in this great restaurant. happy to tell that it was a pleasant evening and the restaurant was clearly one of the reasons for the strong gathering. The waiters participated in a pleasant way, the meals were yummy and my guests were extremely delighted. We shall surely visit again for more celebrations. thanks very much.

Shrimp Tempura roll is very good. I also tried the seaweed salad for the first time and it was delicious. Boba was not that great.

Incredibly delicious! The food was amazing, seasoned to perfection.The generous portions of dishes make a great value for your money.I took home a big "to go box" and I can't wait to return to the "Zen" to try a new meal on their already extensive menu. The service was most excellent, my waitresses were very attentive.Tip of the hat & my compliments to the chefFull bar Ample parking You will enjoy♡

Long time since I've written a review... this place brought me back in. First time at Zen, and I've gotta say: The Thai + Sushi is a one-two knockout. We had the Rock N' Roll, the Rainbow roll (always a first time staple), Pad Thai, and the Pad See Ew. All of it delicious. And the place itself is a fusion of quaint, homely atmosphere with an Asian vibe. Really felt welcome, great service, fantastic combination of Eastern styles (Japanese and Thai). Heading East to Palm Springs? Stop here on the way and have a nice meal. Five Stars.

I love this Thai restaurant, dined several times when in an area. It's kind of unusual, interesting interior. Always delicious food. Very attentive waiters who would chat with you.

Pretty good rolls portions are good too.

Big order was on point as always when I order from here. Love the rolls an tempura spot on.

Great food and ambience.... we had a great server thanks Sabrina😃

It was delicious and the service was great.

Good service, interesting atmosphere in an old home. Food was good.

Nice place, my son took me for lunch very filling 👍

Choose this location due to its high amount of reviews. Upon arrival was a little hard to find the location. Couple spots up front for parking 20ish spots for parking in the back. Was seated immediately not much customer until we were leaving. Food was made fresh to order of course. Ordered a Thai tea was great my date had a Peach tea which was great no complaints. Appetizer was delicious. As well as the food all brought out in a timely manner. Won't mind coming back here at all. For the price it was all excellent. 10/10 great experience!

Very good food. Great customer service. Nice quiet place when I went. Highly recommend. More parking is located in the back. You can park adj the realtor building but space is limited, best after they are closed.

Love the food. I always order the seafood combo. I paid 23 dollars for that and a thai tea and it came in a small tray with literally two pieces of shrimp and a bunch of onions and bellpeppers. Im disappointed but i rated 3 stars because the food is amazing otherwise i would have given a 1.

Great food and service.

Just made an order for delivery. The food I ordered for my wife an kids was pretty good but my order was completely wrong. I ordered Drunken Noodles with Shrimp, green onion an bell pepper only. Instead my order had tons of big slices of regular onion, without a single green onion in sight an spinach I believe which I never even asked for an egg which I also didn't ask for. I said BELL PEPPER AN GREEN ONION ONLY! They even read the order back to me perfectly an then proceeded to make it how ever they felt like once they hung up with me. This was clearly on purpose because we were one of, if not the last order of the night for delivery. They get 3 stars for the food still being edible however this is the last time I ever order from them again for delivery. If your not there in person to make sure they do it right don't even bother. I feel like I wasted 47 bucks. No excuse for this. Very disappointed.

Great food, chilling environment. Employees are very attentive! Will definitely be back!

Been to this place with my wife since 2013. Best food ever! UpdateThis place continues to be amazing. Try out the best Thai tea in the inland empire, I definitely recommend it.

I had the Kai Kua (?) noodles with tofu and the flavor wad amazing. I ordered it a level 3 heat and it wad just spicy enough to make me warm up and get my blood flowing. SO DANG DELICIOUS. Food was HOT and FLAVORFUL. I will be going back.

Nice quiet spot. Good food. Place looks like a house though lol

Absolutely love this place!! Amazing service and food!

Great sushi and good Thai. Have been coming here for years and can definitely vouch for consistently good!

The only restaurant in town with several vegan options. Their tofu dishes are amazing. It's my go-to place. I recommend it often!

I went there yesterday and ordered Thai food, no flavor whatsoever, pineapple in the fried rice was already going bad, I got the runs today.Crispy basil chicken and Kung Pao, same deal, no flavor, won't be going back.Go to Papaya Bay Thai, way better.

Came to this place 7 years ago and I thought the food was good but was not that impressed so I didnt go back after. Well 7 years later I decided to stop by and was amazed. Good food, decent prices and really friendly staff make this little place a hidden gem. Everything was delicious and I like the fact that its japanese and thai food, two favorite foods. So for appetizer I start of with some sushi and for the main dish some thai. Highly recommend this place to everyone.

Food excellent & service outstanding. Definately will go back when in the area.

I adore this restaurant very much. there is a romantic atmosphere. The kitcen is very tasty. the service is dynamic and the team is courteous. The price is satisfactory. profoundly recommend.

Nice food with good choice of both sushi and Thai. Good service. Lunch menu good at a great price. Worth a visit.

Bad service from waitresses, and the ambiance was ok I guess, food was horrible not fresh like the menu says.

I love this place. If you are driving through, pull off the freeway between 8th and 22nd Street and don't miss this little hidden treasure. The sushi is fresh. The prices are reasonable. My favorite is always the Salmon Sashimi. and side salad. My husband gets the Pad See Ew. Never a disappointment. Sometimes I drive out of the way to eat here, it definitely beats all the places I've been to in town.

The food was satisfactory or better. The service was above average, and the dining experience was above average. The restroom was below average. I recommend this establishment.

Was meh not great but not bad

I always love green curry when I go to Thai food and this has the best that I've ever tasted! Very friendly service and the atmosphere can't be beat.

Found this place on my way home from Palm Springs and was so pleased!! Everything from the food to the service was amazing. LOVED the mango rice!!!! Wish I didn’t live so far or I’d come here all the time!

I constantly arrive buying some food in this place. I liked the quick customer service and well made food. Keep it up.

I had the Pad Thai and shrimp tempura lunch special. It both were great and full of flavor. The service was quick and they were all nice.

A good place to hang out wether you just want to have a few drinks, delicious food or both

This is the best food I have had in my entire life!
