Zen's Chinese Food & Catering — Restaurant in Town of Hempstead

My family and I tried Zen's last night for the first time. We haven't had Chinese food in months because we've had trouble finding a good place and gave up. Last night was cold and we were tired of pizza and craving some good Wonton soup. We googled, found that Zen's had a 4.8 rating. Best of all, it was close to home so we tried them and so glad we did! I picked up the order and was able to see that the place was spotless, even the kitchen area. The order was packed perfectly. Each item was huge (enough for 2 days). The wonton soup was delicious and not too salty. Nothing was greasy, not even the egg rolls. I ordered chicken with baby eggplant and garlic and it was the best I have ever had. Not greasy at all and the garlic sauce was amazing! My son had chicken with pan fried noodles and it was loaded with fresh vegetables. We also had sesame chicken (all white meat) and shrimp egg foo young. I really have never had Chinese food as good as this place and we will...

So this is a place that I would have to come back and visit. Not cause it blew me out of the water but because I saw so many good reviews that I thought it was gonna be the best Chinese food I'd have so id like to give it another try. So I would start out by saying that the cashier lady was nicer than most. Place is bigger and has more tables than your typical Chinese spot. On the other hand the prices were also higher than most. My total came out to over $40 which is probably almost twice as much than what I usually spend. The combos come with a "free" egg roll. I tried the sesame chicken and beef with broccoli. Sesame chicken was chewy and texture wasn't much enjoyable. The beef from the Beef and broccoli had a fishy taste. How does that happen? I have no idea. My overall take is I'd rather stick to my local Chinese. Maybe it's less fresh but at least I know...

I ordered a beef chow mein and this is what came. I’ve eaten in many Chinese restaurants before and this is definitely not chow mein. There was mostly veggies and only a few pieces of beef. It came with white rice and I made a call to confirm if this is what I ordered. The response I got was this is chow mian. If you wanted to get the fried noodles you have to order chow fen. Like what? It was a mistake on their end and then it was my problem that I ordered the wrong thing? This is definitely not what I ordered and you should admit you mistakes instead of making others take the blame for you. There should have been a refund or redo because this is not my order and I’ve...
