Serves meat, vegan options available. Many items on the menu are vegan; however, they are not marked as such. The wait staff speaks excellent English and is vegan aware. Peaceful atmosphere. Reported closed, Oct 2018.
Baltimore does not have very good Chinese food overall. Cafe Zen is ok, especially to satisfy a craving, but I would disagree with the previous reviewer--it can be really salty. They have a number of tofu options (I recommend the kung pao tofu) and know what vegan means. It's definitely higher quality than your average Chinese takeout place, and the atmosphere is pleasant; it's just nothing special.
This is great Asian food with a healthy, hearty, home-cooked quality. Not too salty, sugary, or greasy, but still flavorful. I like the relaxed, quiet ambience and the friendly, down-to-earth proprietor. Whatever energy they don't put into the unassuming decor they put into the food. A good restaurant for family from out of town, perhaps before or after catching a movie at The Senator. Reasonable prices.
