An avid Vegetarian myself, i absolutely loved this place. I had the Sweet Potato Fries, which were really delicious. It is reasonably priced for all the food. I did eat with chopsticks, which were not what i was expecting. Overall, the food was really good

My dinner at Zen Palate has been a wonderful experience. I'll just tell you I am a huge Food person. Where to start? Last Week I ate at Zen Palate in Manhattan. I'm from SF however previously been to New York City a number of occasions. My partner and I absolutely love the distinctiveness of restaurants. Such a pleasant and satisfied dinnerEveryone at this restaurant was so pleasant! The hospitality was remarkable. The entrees came out amazingly quickly. The level of quality and amount of food seemed to be to wonderful. Even though no serious issues. The cost was what we estimated although perhaps a few $ overly pricy. Also was to go to a NYC dining place without having a lot of attitude. I am a huge lover of the place.
