Two ways to enjoy one incredible dish! 🌿✨

Our Korokoro Tofu is a firm favourite for good reason. Silken tofu and chargrilled zucchini cooked in a rich, Japanese spicy BBQ sauce. It’s deliciously bold and packed with flavour.

And now you have the choice! Order it as a standalone dish or add rice to turn it into a delicious Donburi bowl. Whether you want to keep it light or go all in, we've got you covered. 🍚

🍸 Shake things up at ZENZEN! 🍸

Our front of house guru Johnny has been busy crafting some gorgeous new additions to our drinks menu, and we can’t wait for you to try them. First up? The Wasabi Margarita! 🌶️✨

This isn’t your average cocktail. It is a bold, sophisticated twist on the classic Margarita. Combining the crisp, refreshing lime you love with the unique, botanical heat of wasabi for that signature ZENZEN kick. It is vibrant, beautifully balanced, and a total flavour sensation!

Whether you are pairing it with our new Sashimi Slaw or enjoying it on its own, it’s the perfect way to add a bit of spark to your evening.

Freshness in every bite!

Have you tried our newest addition yet? We launched the Sashimi Slaw last week, and it is already becoming a fast favourite!

If you are looking for a dish that is light, vibrant, and packed with texture, this is it. We’ve combined diced premium salmon and kingfish sashimi with crunchy shredded cabbage, carrot, seaweed, and the unique zing of takuan pickle. Finished with edamame, tobiko, crispy wontons for that satisfying crunch, and our signature soy sesame dressing. This is certainly a true flavour sensation! 🥢✨
