The philosophy of Zen Gardens is to bring health to people, to harmonize our life, and to return balance in nature. In addition, our philosophy strives to perpetuate the co-existence of human beings and creatures as part of the universe.
Food is alright. But my boyfriend and I had a really bizarre experience when we visited the restaurant. We were the only customers. The owner's children were hanging out in the dining room watching TV. It felt like we were intruders in someone's house, not like we were in a restaurant. This family should stop doing this, it's weird.
I love the staff and I love the atmosphere. The food, for the most part is great but a lot of it is made at another location and it shows. Despite this I would go back for the sushi and the sticky rice as well as other items on the menu.
We've visited this restaurant several times now, and always enjoyed great food, and helpful and attentive service. The only "problem" we've had, is trying to decide between so many attractive vegetarian options on their extensive menu! The atmosphere is very calming, quiet and peaceful. Whenever we're in Guelph, we try to plan the day around a visit to Zen Gardens.
