Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Very good food. Good portions, so order accordingly. Bit pricey but then everything seemed that way in Muscat. Would recommend. As restaurant was in the mall, place was not aesthetic in anyway. Think of Macdonalds, but slightly better seating. Food makes up for it though....Great mocktailsMore

Never expected this from Zen Asian Bistro - had been visiting it regularly in the past. It was not only me who was affected, but my daughter also who had Sweet and Sour Chicken from the Wok Specials section and I had Thai Chili Prawn...from the same section. My wife went without any complaints as she had Sashimi Combo from Sushi Combos section - they only had Salmon sashimi left as they ran out of tuna and yellowtail sashimi and we felt, it was her good luck that they ran out of the two varieties of fish. We all shared Chicken Siomai from the Dimsum section. We decided to avoid this restaurant in future.More

Few weeks back there was a promotion of 50% off when ordering directly. While placing the order there was some confusion but it was sorted out quickly. Delivery was on time and food was as usual tasty.

We dislike spicy = chilli food so ordered some mains that we thought would come fairly mild. My wife's plate had significant chilli flakes visible when served. When we flagged this to the waiter it was promptly replaced with the same menu item but this...time with no chilli. Good value pleasant dining. All staff are keen to please which is a sign of good management training.More

Tucked away at the end, Zen is not prime place or imposing, but has attentive staff and served good food. Nothing to put you off trying, for a bite to eat.

Zen is an Asian/Japanese restaurant on the 2nd food court floor of Avenues mall. It’s a bit small so gets very busy and the kitchen gets loud however the service is good and what the kitchen and the sushi bar produce is excellent, very flavour...packed and delicious. I recommend all the Japanese dishes and the Thai soups too. Decent cocktails and fresh juices available too. Sushi selection is one of the best in Muscat imo and highly instagramable 😝Prices are moderate and definitely worth a visit.More

Very lovely dragon / Gozilla Sushi well Plated and tasty, the Kum Pao Chicken also was tasty though a little portion more would be a treat. The restaurant has a nice play area so that the kids are busy while adults enjoy their meals.
