Zen Garden

The pho is absolutely delicious, the broth is super balanced with little to no fat, nor overdoing it with cinnamon. I've tried them all around here and this place will be our go-to.

We absolutely love the shrimp tempura, it was fresh and delicious. I had the hibachi chicken and shrimp with fried rice and it was good, my only complaint is the chicken was a little dry. Overall great experience we will return.

Great to have this location in the area. For the convenience, definitely a yes (just plan accordingly like someone mentioned on the time). But, always a but, Nashville is still best. Closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Had the beef broth noodles with beef balls. The soup flavor was good. The noodles and were fresh. Wish portion could be bigger. Might add extra noodles next time. Same for the bun, I didn’t try it, but could use more noodles. The grilled meats in the bun dish were great quality and tasty (unlike the one behind home depot). Would definitely return when craving hits. I wish the consistency of the Boba texture reaches good standards. Until then, will be fine without it. (If u are sensitive to smell, the nail salon next door....can be quite unpleasant!) Not sure why they are next door? Food and chemicals

4.5 stars. Overall enjoyed everything. We tried the pork Bahn mi, egg rolls, beef pho, fried rice (beef, chicken, shrimp), and chicken teriyaki. (We wanted to try the Rice Plate with pork chop, but they were out of it until Monday).
The beef pho was sliced perfectly thin, with plenty of onions and fragrant toppings. The picture is the take out version, broth was in a separate large container.
The banh mi’s were large and stuffed full with meat and pickled vegetables, Egg rolls were crisp, fried rice portion was generous, and the chicken teriyaki had a nice sweet/savory to it.

My small quibbles (don’t let these deter you from trying Zen Garden): bread for banh mi was a tad dry and thick, the boba was inconsistent (some were really soft, others were a little hard), and the wait was 30 minutes for take out (1 p.m. on a Saturday, everything above and 3 boba teas and 1 Vietnamese coffee), so just plan accordingly or call ahead for your take out, which I will do next time.

We will definitely come back, it’s nice to have this place in the Sango area!

Absolutely amazing. Definitely my new go to after work on Friday. :) The Vietnamese coffee is good and strong and isn’t instant coffee mix etc. The Matcha Boba I requested with less sweetness was perfect also. She has loose leaf teas as well if various types. The Bahn Mi itself is definitely a meal by itself it’s huge and so flavorful! The spring rolls with or without cilantro (you can request cilantro) are so fresh and amazing as well as the dipping sauce. The Pho had a good overall flavor and broth as well as the meat. Most of all the owners and staff are all super friendly. :) All the food is amazing as well as the atmosphere. Also don’t follow the map on Facebook for directions, it’s in the same shopping center as Camachos. Enjoy.
