Excellent meal in St Annes at Zen restaurant. Starters, main and wine all just what we wanted. Service was great too. Our fussy desire to move tables was accommodated without any problems! Highly recommended!

Favourite Fylde Chinese!

I ate at Zen a couple of months ago and it was amazing! I had the chicken pad thai and my partner had the Thai green curry as well as us both having a starter platter each. The service was top notch - very friendly, efficient. The restaurant was very clean and portion sizes huge! This is both a good thing and a bad thing though as by the time I got near the end of my pad thai it had started to go cold (that's how much there was!) 10/10 would go to Zen again.

Zen restaurant in St Annes is definitely the best looking Chinese/Thai restaurant in the Fylde Coast and most probably the best food too! Friendly and professional service to match. Will definitely return and we do recommend Zen to our friends.

After reading great reviews on here we decided to go on Saturday for a family birthday celebration. There were fourteen of us and on booking they asked if it was a special occasion. Thought nothing of this until we arrived at the restaurant to be greeted with birthday banners and table confetti, a complete surprise and a lovely one at that! These little touches really make the difference and many other restaurants could learn a lot from the Zen! Food was excellent, everyone enjoyed all of it. The house wine was good quality too! Highly recommended especially for a special occasion.

Preston and Fylde coast were missing a good friendly Chinese, now I have found it - First time visit, and took family of 6 (one of which is 18mths and oldest is 17). Fantastic food, great atmosphere and the staff were wonderful. They all fussed over the kids, taking the time to make our visit more that just a meal. The look and smells of all the other dishes being brought out that we didn't order just made our mouths water and want for more. Will definitely be back. Thank you for a great night :-)

Zen restaurant has to have one of the best looking interiors in the Fylde coast. Not tacky like a lot of Chinese/Thai venues. All the imported artifacts look expensive and are matched well together. The lighting is good to match it and though the restaurant not small, the layout creates intimacy. The tableware matches the interior for quality as does the presentation on the plate. We had a Tom Yum soup, Phad Thai and lovely smooth chicken dish with cashew nuts, mushrooms and potato. Service was very friendly and efficient and Andy was an excellent host. For Thai or Chinese cuisine go to Zen.

Went with the wife after reading on here about this local restaurant. Also had this place recommended by the wife's parents. The food was verynice, fillet steak was excellent!! A very enjoyable evening, something a bit different. Very warm welcome and friendly staff!!

First time at Zen and was very pleasantly surprised. Friendly staff both young and older, a good lively atmosphere (although you would expect nothing less dining at 9pm on a Saturday evening) and attractive Oriental décor with good lighting. There are two menus (Chinese and Thai) presented in a small booklet and the kitchen is quite happy to ramp up or moderate the spice levels depending on your preferences. There are other Chinese restaurants to choose from in St Annes but I think Zen stands out from the crowd by offering diners a choice of full Chinese and Thai menus.

We went back to our old favourite The Zen with our meat eating son, vegetarian daughter and son's vegan girlfriend. They all live out of the area and we chose here after emailing the menus of several local restaurants for them to choose their favourite. As usual Zen came up trumps. The only tip I would give is that if some of you are having the set banquet you will be served at different times to the others, so that some of you will be sat there with no food! As always the staff are warm, courteous and fun, they will do anything they can to make sure that you have a lovely evening. By coincidence 15 of us went from work the following week and again had a fabulous evening.
