    Zen Zero has been one of my go-to Lawrence Restaurants for 15 + years. They have put a great spin in Thai/Thai fusion and perfected classic dishes like Singapore Noodles, Pad Thai and Massaman Curry. Since the pandemic some of the recipes changed a little with supply issues which has been a hard adjustment for me but I still consider ZZ to be a great and family/vegetarian/vegan friendly option.

    I stopped into Zen Zero last night for dinner before a show at Liberty Hall. I lived in Lawrence for years and never got around to trying them. I knew it was Asian food, but didn't know anything else about it. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they had Panang curry on the menu so I got it. It was really well done. I've had better, but it was delicious enough that I didn't waste any. The service was good, but nothing spectacular. The restaurant wasn't the cleanest I've seen and there was nothing special about it, but I don't usually expect much from a downtown Lawrence restaurant. All in all, it was a good experience and I would return.

    Food was fantastic. I had the khao soi and my mom chose the pad Thai. The server was fantastic and the food delicious. Well worth it!

    Consistently tasty, and good service! This was my go-to spot for noodle dishes in Lawrence. Pad sae ew, and pad kee mao with extra veg, add bean sprouts, are my personal favorites - savory, never too sweet! Also love the spring rolls, calamari, edamame and shrimp chips. Portions are filling, and I usually ended up with leftovers!
