Cafe Zen Restaurant Review: No red lanterns and gold dragons here. Café Zen's walls are Creamsicle-colored and stenciled in black with dictionary definitions and chopstick diagrams. But that's not all that's unusual. This Chinese café offers simple, fresh, home-style cooking. Order "fan tsai," billed as a healthful balance of meat and vegetables, for the full expression of the kitchen's philosophy. It'll arrive as a delicately sauced heap of crisp-tender vegetables seasoned with the meat --- shrimp, chicken, beef or a combination thereof --- of your choice. But even standards like kung pao chicken, garlic shrimp, and double-sautéed pork exhibit the same light hand and thoughtful composure. Beer and wine are served. |
