Mietta's Review
Zen's was the first of the little cluster of restaurants at the beginning of Anderson Creek Rd and it feels that way - established, if a little old fashioned, professionally run, good food and prices that are a dollar or so more than its competitors. The clientele are Chinese families from the eastern suburbs in search of a comfortable dining experience with no surprises.
Other published opinions
The Age Good Food Guide 2005 "YOU'RE almost sure to receive a warm welcome at Zen's, a friendly low-key local where families come to celebrate or just chow down at well-spaced tables. The food, though, is a story of two restaurants, depending on whether you ordered from the English or the more extensive Chinese menu."
AGFG 2004, score 12/20

Plume (Doncaster) Victoria
There's something exotic about Plume. Perhaps it is arriving in darkness to a trail of fairy lights and an award winning building with a warm glow and classic lines.
