Zen Japanese Restaurant

Let's start with the lunch deals, which are up there with the best in town. A tenner buys a generous bento with prawn and vegetable tempura, maybe, or spicy belly pork, served with rice, salad and miso soup. Value continues at dinner with a $30 five-course set menu. But don't let the prices mislead: this is quality Japanese. A la carte, classics like agedashi tofu deliver - the bonito flakes gently waving atop perfectly deep-fried tofu cubes - and sashimi is beautifully fresh and beautifully cut. Sweet service and serene decor complete the enviable picture.
