   The atmosphere makes you feel like you're at a large Japanese street stall, the food is easy to eat, affordable, and not so "Wild" that even a person with a limited palette couldn't find something on the menu to enjoy! My brother is Korean and I've been eating Asian foods daily since I was a little boy and the food was fantastic, my Wife who only eats meat and american Junk-food still loved the Gyudon and Sashimi, despite being nervous to try them at first. The drinks selection is authentic and enjoyable, I highly recommend getting a Shochu Chu-hai whenever possible, it will change your mind on how alcohol SHOULD taste! For my wife's birthday date I ordered Edamame, Sashimi, Maguro Poke, Tonkatsu Ramen, Japanese Wings, Gyu Donburri, Thin slices of seared beef (can't remember the name, and a Cocktail for both me and my wife - we left the restaurant full to bursting and very happy, and it all cost about $91 before tip!

   We had teriyaki chicken and the ramen. Both very tasty. The brussels sprouts and gyoza were also very good. Great atmosphere here. Lunch bento box specials are also very good.

   Zen Box Izakaya has great food and service, my only complaint is that the tables are too close together; I felt like I was sitting with the table next to me. I guess it just made it more Japanese!

   Japanese comfort food of the very best quality! We started with a fun cocktail and went on to small plates including veggie dumplings and a tasty salad. We had veggie noodles that were flavorful and amazing. The check was surprisingly moderate. My daughter suggested the restaurant but I will certainly be back!

   This is Japanese comfort food at its finest. It's NOT a sushi bar, so bring an open mind and a sense of adventure and you'll have an outstanding dining experience.

    Ramen broth is rather thick. Noodles are too thin for my liking. Fun experience though.
