Zen Japan - Coffs Harbour

I was looking forward to visiting this restaurant for an early dinner. Restaurant is closed although sign on the window say open from 6pm, except Monday's. Their website is also down :(

A very compact and cosy atmosphere, sitting cross legged on cushions on the floor. Host welcomes everyone who enters and explains the process. Limited beer option but it was very authentic and delicious. Food is delicious and comes promptly. Good value for money and a cool experience.

I appreciate the concept of cushions on the floor at the tables, but unfortunately, the food was not up to par. The "rice balls" I ordered turned out to be more like rice sandwiches with no flavor in the middle. The noodle dish I had was plain, with rice bubbles on top. I was really let down by this restaurant, as there was also no table service provided.

I only give one excellent review in which city in the world. Since I tried many restaurants in this area this one was my favorite!I just love this place, they have such an incredible ambiance! Really zen and unique!! Staff try to understand what you really want, so helpful! The food is fresh and delicious! To repeat!!!

I'm not a vegan but the food was good. The servings were too small though. Beers were expensive. Loved the sit on the floor cushion style. Also, you can sit up at the bar. Not very good for those with flexibility issues, it's a small restaurant which is cosy. A great Japanese cuisine and dining experience despite the pricing.
