Zenzakan in Frankfurt am Main

Wir hatten einen Tisch um 22 Uhr reserviert. Die Vorspeisen waren alles sehr gut, jedoch nicht herausragend. Die Beratung zu den Speisen des Kellners war mangelhaft, es schien als kannte er die Karte nicht. Anschließend wollten wir den Hauptgang bestellen, daraufhin wurde uns mitgeteilt, dass die Küche bereits geschlossen habe. Somit gingen wir ohne etwas richtiges gegessen zu haben. Das Preisleistungsverhältnis scheint erscheint mir sehr überzogen. Sehr enttäuschender Besuch.

Nice restaurant for a relaxed Friday evening

The spinach salad with the Wagyu sirloin tataki and the ox rib was a dream🤌 The service was very friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is great🤌 We are coming back from Cologne✅️

Best staff in Frankfurt and best food too!

Food was delicious, service could have been a bit more attentive!

We were there for our anniversary. The service and the food are really incredibly tasty (especially the lamb chops). Of course the store has its price, so I recommend it for special occasions. We'll definitely be back.

We are very pleased that Zenzakan can maintain its quality of food, service and ambience at the highest level. Despite all the difficulties during and after Corona. Great performance! We'd love to come back soon!"

It's definitely worth a visit. My highlights: The wonton crackers (10/10) with Angus beef tartare and the US prime beef (9/10). The Wagyu Katsu-Sando is also amazing, but it's enough if you share it because the taste is very special and intense. I'll come back and eat the duck.

Food and drinks are super delicious. Ambience is very nice. The price is high but it's worth it!

Excelente comida en un ambiente oscuro y opulento. Muchas bienvenidas profesionales del equipo... Llegamos bang en las horas de apertura 6 pm... Servicio bastante atento para la señora joven su inglés seco bueno y sonrisa brillante. Soy de calidad muy alta en la cocina asociada a un precio muy alto. El cordero neozelandés a la parrilla de Rabba estaba tierno y delicioso al igual que los otros tres platos que tuvimos. Definitivamente me gustaría ir de nuevo

This restaurant is an all-round great place for a great evening. Starting with the valet parking - here I would especially like to thank Can, who took excellent care of us and our car. The food, the cocktails, the service and the ambience are simply great! If you want to spend a special evening, then Zenzakan is a MUST!!!

The ambience was nice (it would be nicer if you could cross your legs under the table and the restaurant wasn't so huge, but that's not the problem) the staff was very friendly and helpful. The food wasn't bad, but I've simply eaten better for the price. I have to say it was a bit disappointing. Unfortunately, the hype surrounding the restaurant didn't live up to expectations. I really like spending good money on good food. The experience wasn't bad, but it wasn't wow either. Eating something at zenzakan wasn't a bad experience, but I won't consider it again.

The restaurant has recently received a lot of attention from various streamers. We wanted to take a look at the whole thing and it was definitely worth it. The food was very tasty and the restaurant really offers a lot in terms of cuisine. The service was top and the ambience was great too. The only point of criticism is the parking situation in the area and long waiting times despite a table reservation. Lamb chops and wontons with beef tartare are recommended.

The ambience is great. The service is very friendly and accommodating. The food tastes very tasty. 9/10 It is a bit expensive, but you can go for special occasions

A fantastic evening. Super delicious food and very friendly and attentive service thanks to Steffen.

What a restaurant! We had high expectations as there has been a lot of reporting about the Zenzakan in Frankfurt recently. Our expectations were even exceeded. The entrance, the ambience, the music, the location – simply incredibly good. When you walk in there, you immediately feel like you're in a movie. When we sat down and the great employees served us, I was surprised again: so helpful, so nice and, above all, they knew the menu by heart. They were able to answer all of our open questions and explain everything. The appetizers – gyoza and dynamite shrimp – were so delicious that we had to order more immediately. The main courses were a solid 10 out of 10. We all ordered something different and every dish was simply amazing. The price-performance ratio is completely fine. We paid around 80 euros per person, but for that you get quality that is convincing. There are other locations in Frankfurt that are more expensive but whose food is not nearly as good as Zenzakan. See you soon and best regards from Switzerland!

Bad value for money We had to constantly ask the waitress to pour us more wine because our wine bottle was cooling in the neighboring bucket. 250€ for 2 people

If you don't care about the price, you can try it. The food itself is of good quality, but it didn't suit my taste.

Absolut empfehlenswert! Wir hatten die Pekingente, die Lobster Roll, die heilige dreifaltigkeit der Sake Nigiri und die Wagyu Nigiri und waren alles in allem sehr zufrieden mit dem Essen. Die Wagyu Nigiri sind eine wahrhafte Geschmacksexplosion und die Peking Ente war die beste, die wir jemals hatten. Die Lobster Roll war die "schwächste" Speise, aber das ist hier jammern auf sehr hohem Niveau. Alles andere war geschmacklich überragend. Der Service war sehr freundlich und aufmerksam und wir hatten einen zauberhaften Abend. Wer Süßes mag, sollte das Signature Dessert auf jeden Fall dazu buchen: Lava Chocolate Cake, verschiedene Mochis, Kokos Crème Brulée, eine Obst Variation und mein persönliches Highlight der White Chocolate Japanese Cheesecake. Wir kommen immer wieder gerne hier her.

Incredibly delicious for the taste buds.

I am not a restaurant professional and my statement is completely subjective. When I entered the restaurant I was impressed by the interior, and that is it! The reception is not manned all the time which makes it hard due to the fact one has to wait in line to get seated or help. We had a reservation for a dinner on Saturday evening. “Unfortunately” we came a little early, so we had to wait for our table. This was not a huge problem for us because we thought we just crash the bar and have a drink or two. Came out this was not a good plan. We waited for 20 minutes and asked the waiter twice if we can order a drink. Nothing happened. After we have been brought to our table almost 15 minutes too late, we had the opportunity to wait for 25 minutes to order. What I found the most irritating is that there are so many students working. Since I am a teacher I recognized so many students which is not a problem for me but it came out they were definitely not familiar with the menu. We had wrong drinks and asking the waiter to ask and come back he insisted that it was the right one. After talking to another waitress it came out it was the wrong drink. The mains are huge so you can definitely eat and don’t have to nibble around. Sides are way too small for the price, also I was shocked when seeing the price for the truffle mayonnaise: 6.99€ All in all, it was an interesting experience and I felt like the waiters really had to hurry and run around. But therefore it did not feel special and intimate.

Have eaten here twice so far. The first time was great, nothing to complain about. The second time the food wasn't so great. I ate steak both times and can highly recommend the teriyaki sirloin tataki, unfortunately not so much the Wagyu Kagoshima. The sashimi variation, sushi, lobster dumplings, beef carpaccio, and tom yam gung soup were all delicious. All the side dishes with the steak were also delicious, the broccoli was the best, I would least recommend the wasabi fries. The matcha mochi were also very good and didn't taste too strongly of matcha. The chocolate soufflé, on the other hand, unfortunately tastes like frozen food that has been briefly warmed up in the oven. No difference to what you find in shisha bars or similar. And one of the waiters wasn't really friendly on the last visit, but the blonde waitress was even more so. Given the prices, something like the chocolate soufflé shouldn't happen. With the Wagyu steak you can perhaps speak more of personal preferences.

Most authentic cuisine in the world! The sushi was a dream, the service impeccable. The price-performance ratio is 100% right here. Always worth a visit.

The service and food were world class! The only thing I would change would be the music, but that's complaining at a high level. Thanks for the great evening. 👍

Way too overhyped. 300€ for 2 people and we actually felt bad at the end because some of it was very medium.

I went to Zenzakan with my wife spontaneously (without reservation) at 5 p.m. during the week. When we got there there was no table occupied and we were told that everything was reserved for that evening. We then left, but with over 100 seats, not making room for 2 people is very weak and shows the little gastronomic knowledge in such restaurant chains. Absolutely not recommended.

Wow!!!! €517.00 for a really bad evening with a shocking crowd. Okay, Peking duck wasn't available, nor was the wine selected. Given the exorbitant prices, the sommelier was also unwilling to adjust the price of the alternative. We should understand that the stocks were sold/drunk through the automobile fair. Well, that's probably due to a bad purchase without a forecast. In the end, 5 or 6 different waiters came to our table to tell us that some colleague had sweated something beforehand. Most notable was the manager's appearance. He made it very clear to us that he didn't really care about any of this and wasn't interested in changing anything about the situation... Very clear feedback, we have often had lovely evenings with you over the last few years - but after yesterday's experience we will certainly not be coming back. With great hope that someone reads this message who perhaps doesn't care as much about everything as the employees do.

The food tastes good, but is far from excellent. Unfortunately, the price-performance ratio is not right here, because the price promises excellence. The Chef's Sushi for 2 and the Bao Buns were particularly disappointing. Sushi good average, bao buns actually bad. Cucumber slice was much too big and the meat was neither soft nor crispy, unfortunately just tough. The carpaccio and the wontons should be positively mentioned. Overall, we don't recommend it due to the price-performance ratio.

I had the pleasure of eating at Zenzakan and I can say that the food was truly amazing. Every bite tasted delicious and I was amazed by the variety of dishes. The presentation of the food was also appealing and completed the entire experience. Overall, I give the Zenzakan a good rating of 8.5/10.

I was looking forward to the evening in Zenzakan because of a special event. The ambience of the restaurant is really nice, but there are deficiencies in the service. The service or receptionist with the dark curly hair was anything but serious - stressed, annoyed and snotty! Unfortunately our expectations were not met and it was therefore the first and last visit - a shame.

Great food, great service and atmosphere. We may be overspend, but was worth every penny.

food 9.5/10 service 1/10 very unfriendly, forgetful and rude

I reserved a table at Zenzakan for my birthday and asked for a deep table with armchairs when making the reservation. The woman who took my reservation a week before also seated us that evening. On the way to the table she just left us and went away with a waiter. She (woman with dark curly hair) came back totally stressed, didn't even apologize and seated us. We got the table right at the entrance, high chairs and off to the toilet. I pointed out to her that I specifically asked for a nice table when I made my reservation... she immediately got rude and said we could also go out to eat somewhere else... after I had to argue for ages, we finally got the table we wanted, However, I find such behavior impossible. We had to wait at the bar, where we weren't offered a drink or anything like that. The lady was Simply too lazy to set a new table because the exact table I wanted wasn't occupied Beyond that, we weren't even asked if we wanted a dessert plate or anything like that. I didn't expect anything, but as a new customer on a birthday I find it hard not to even get an espresso on the house. The store is beautifully decorated, but this kind of service was really subpar, which is why I regret celebrating such an occasion here. I'm sure that many people spend well over €100 pp on a dinner precisely because of the mix of ambience/service/food, but that evening everything really went wrong... a shame

Culinary highlights in a really beautiful ambience! Currently number 1 in Frankfurt. You can always write a lot about what was good and not so good, but here you should just go by and enjoy it. Price/performance is simply top with the quality.

Top Essen in einem wirklich schönen Ambiente! Aktuell die Nr. 1 in Frankfurt. Das Zenzakan hat sich zu einem der Lokale in Frankfurt entwickelt, dass man besucht haben muss.

The best restaurant I've ever been to! From the starters to the dessert everything is top class! I really enjoy eating here and the prices are justified. As a starter I can highly recommend the Wagyu sandwiches.

We had a professional advisor/service person at the table! The foams are pure enjoyment, a taste explosion! Water bottles are served open...? Why? A little too dark in the restaurant. Otherwise it's fine.

Wir sind seit vielen Jahre Gäste im Zenzakan und waren immer gerne dort. Insgesamt ist es nach wie vor gut aber leider nicht mehr sehr gut. Die unglaublichen Cocktails der Vergangenheit findet man leider nicht mehr vor. Zudem wurden sie alle zeitversetzt serviert. Der Service ist weiterhin wirklich toll und sehr gastorientiert, an der Stelle kann man absolut nichts kritisieren. Sushi und Hauptspeise waren lecker aber auch hier haben die letzten Besonderheiten gefehlt.

A very beautiful place where all senses are pampered. Service very attentive.

Eat: We ordered two courses one after the other. The first course (starter) was very good, the second course (main course) was well prepared but a little oversalted and didn't quite suit our taste. The dish (Peking duck) we were there for was already ready at 9:30. Cocktail ordered more ice than drink received. Service: Given the price, I expected top service, which was absolutely not the case. As soon as we arrived we were sent back and forth until we arrived at the right reception. With two entrances, I would expect two receptions for such a large store. Although we had deliberately reserved for 3 in order to get a larger table, we were shown to a really uncomfortable table for two. After we sat down, we were treated as mass customers for the rest of the evening and had to wait forever until we could even order the second course.

GOTY likes it, so I like it too.

I really enjoyed my stay at Zensackhaarn. However, there were annoying streamers next to me. Ahmed K. Proffcar CEO

I recently visited this restaurant, and my experience was unfortunately far from positive. Upon our arrival, we were greeted by a blonde lady at the host stand. She gave the impression that the restaurant was much busier than it actually was. Although we didn't have a reservation, I could see that there were plenty of open tables. Nonetheless, the hostess informed us that all tables were occupied and we would have to wait. So, we sat at the bar. While sitting there, I remembered the restaurant group’s website and spontaneously made a reservation, receiving confirmation on the spot. When I approached the hostess and let her know I had a reservation, along with the confirmation, I was finally escorted to our assigned table. I couldn’t help but wonder what her issue was—jealousy or something else? She should focus on her job and not judge who we are. The assigned table was horrendous; it was right in the middle of the restaurant, next to tables for two. There was no privacy whatsoever; we could overhear conversations from both sides, and vice versa. My guess the table itself was only L50cm x W50cm, which was not nearly enough space for our orders. The food wasn’t anything special—nothing noteworthy to comment on. However, the waiter and bar staff were nice, which was a small bright spot. Unfortunately, the atmosphere felt more like an Asian inspired prison canteen, given the noise and how close everyone was to each other. The weather wasn’t good enough to sit outside either. The bathroom was decorated in a different yet interesting way and, most importantly, it was clean. You can access the main road directly from inside the restaurant by cutting through the Ivory Club, which I had never known before, even though I’ve been here many times. I wouldn’t recommend this place for a first date due to the lack of privacy caused by the seating arrangement. Also, nothing on the menu left me wowed. Personally, I still prefer, enjoy, and recommend M Steakhouse.

Great atmosphere, but unfortunately the Zenzakan develops backwards from visit to visit. The portions are getting smaller and the prices are getting higher. The cocktails are now just cheeky rip-offs! Cristal Mojito is an outrage at €17 in the smallest glass in the world. Mini egg rice as a side dish for €9! It is and remains just rice. Mr. Mook had written to me personally after my last review and had seen his prices at the lower end of the pricing spectrum. In which world? Sorry, completely out of touch and unreasonable! We don't come anymore and some people around us have exactly the same impression and would rather go somewhere else for a good meal in the future. Price/performance at best 2 out of 5 stars.

An honest review follows. Completely overhyped in my opinion. Yes, the food is high quality and good, but it's not nearly as good as what you're told. You can go there once, but not a second time. There are clearly better restaurants. Peace Out!

Everything at its best. great restaurant.

The price-performance ratio doesn't fit at all, the staff seems quite chaotic and not coordinated with each other. The food is ok but nothing more, the expectations were of course different at these prices, but every normal middle class restaurant in Frankfurt can do it exactly the same. Definitely not a recommendation.

No recommendation!!! If you're willing to spend a lot of money on average sushi or steaks, this is the place for you. The price is disproportionate to what is offered. The receptionist was extremely rude and initially made us feel that we were not welcome. The service was also unprofessional. I would really avoid this place. I thought people with higher budgets also had higher tastes, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

Expected a lot and was very disappointed. No trace of high-class service and quality food. We sat near the kitchen counter and you could hear everything. From employee conversations to polishing cutlery. Ordered 5 dishes, everything came out at once, so you didn't even know where to start. By the time you had eaten the other thing, the dish was already cold. More like a check-in like in a buffet restaurant. I advise you to turn the music louder to cover up the annoying conversations between the employees and the background noise. Cocktails weren't high quality either. The money was really too good for me, even though I like to spend money on good food.

I'm a bit conflicted about our visit and the rating. Overall, we had a really successful and delicious evening. The food was very well prepared and according to my husband the lamb chops were the best he has ever tasted. The Kung Pao chicken was also delicious, but in my opinion nothing special for 33 euros. The sushi was great, as was the tartare! The cocktails are totally overpriced at over 20 euros. It was an experience, but for a total of just under €250 I wouldn't repeat it again.

The store isn't bad, but the social media hype hypes it up a bit too much. Overall it was a nice evening, but I don't think the prices were entirely reasonable. The sushi wasn't bad, but not outstanding either and therefore not entirely appropriate for the price. The often touted wagyu sandwich was great, but ultimately a bit too expensive. The taste and service in a Michelin restaurant is simply something different and not much more expensive than an evening at zenzagan. Despite all this, it's a great restaurant and highly recommended. Solid 4 stars, good store, but still room for improvement. The wine list should have more offerings in the middle range, the jump between €50 and €500 for a bottle is too big.

Starter platter for 3 incredible

Our visit to ZENZAKAN on August 6th was an absolute highlight! The atmosphere was simply fantastic – a perfect mix of elegance and coziness. The dishes were a true experience for the senses. The sushi and sashimi were incredibly fresh and artfully presented, and the lamb was tender and full of flavor. Every detail was perfect, from the friendly service to the exquisite selection of dishes. ZENZAKAN exceeded our expectations and we are already looking forward to our next visit. An absolute must for foodies!

An adventure. In my opinion, that describes it aptly. The atmosphere is cool, the food is very good. The cocktails were delicious and the service was very good. A suitable location for special days (wedding anniversary).

Extremely tasty and a pleasure🥩🌶🍣🥃🍷

Great place to be for a night life😀😀😀. Lovely menus and drinks, though a little premium charged😁 but worth every penny. Good place to hang around with friends and family

We were at Zanzakan yesterday with a larger group. The food and ambience were top. But the service was really a disaster in this price range. The person who accompanied us throughout the evening was unfriendly, rude and didn't appear at all. In the end I thought I was in Istanbul, we were told (even though I asked on the phone) that the bill cannot be paid separately. In the end it worked and it turned out that more drinks were booked than ordered. I don't want to blame anyone, but it seemed very strange to us.

An experience! We had a sensational evening of culinary delights. Everything was so delicious and beautifully presented. The service was super nice and special requests were fulfilled at the bar. It's clearly a restaurant that isn't cheap. But if you want to treat yourself to something special: go and enjoy.

Great service, very bad food! The staff were super friendly, but the food is below average. Definitely not worth the price.

I dropped a bike in my food and the service just laughed at me and said put it away even though he was sitting on the bike

Elegant and snobbish, central, intimate and quiet location. over 10 minutes wait to get a table despite reservation . Food delicious but overpriced, you can find better. Especially service is not good enough I would have expected spit and polish service and instead dirty tablecloth and napkin and chipped crockery...

We came here for lunch. The interior design of the place was amazing. We ordered Sushi, Sashimi, Shrimp Tempura, Spicy Lobster Dumplings for the starters. And for the main course, we ordered Truffle Robota Chicken and Velveted Black Pepper Beef. The sashimi and the sushi was really fresh and tasty. One of my fav plate was the dumpling filled with lobster. And the main course favorite was robota for me. The staff was so kind and helpful. There is parking with the payment around the restaurant. The place is in the center of the city, close to the Alter-Oper. I wıll come again for sure

Been there dozens of times and will come countless more times!

We have no complaints about Zenzakan. The booking is easy, and communication is quick. It is also very easy to modify as we had to modify our time after a busy day. We had brief trouble finding it but the valet outside the ivory club quickly noticed and guided us through the restaurant toward zenzakan. The staff are attentive and have one of the quickest response timing we’ve experienced. The food came in a timely manner, not too quick not too long. Waiter had great recommendations and great energy. Atmosphere was lovely and other customers were great as well and everyone seemed at ease and kind. Would highly recommend this place. Between two people, with tip, mocktails, and dessert, spent €300. The restaurant doesn’t include service tip in the final bill, please remember to tip!

The location is beautiful and the service is very attentive. But I didn't like the food. Especially because the three chicken skewers that were served with the starter were still RAW inside! That has already spoiled my appetite for everything.

The Zenzakan, I would say one of the best restaurant interiors in FFM Great! To be honest, I don't know how best to describe it, but I'll call it "drawer company". I was here with a friend because Zenzakan was still on my to-do list. Done! When I arrived we were asked to wait at the bar until our table was ready, there were already serious problems with the service at the bar, we weren't served by the bartender, he preferred to talk to his colleague and forgot about us. Shortly before our table was ready, he came and asked us what we wanted to drink, but in a way that was extremely disgusting. I was a bit dismayed and gave up my order but left it uncommented as we got to our table I noticed that the waiter was also a bit dismissive and that's when I thought to myself, shouldn't the service be top in a shop like this? Will you be better served here if you dress better? As expected, the service from the waiter was also not appropriate for the location!! Nevertheless, the food was great, both the starters and the main courses were top! In the end you can say that the location, the facilities and the food are at Champions League level, but the service and service are at Religious League level. It's a shame!

Dark but inviting atmosphere. The taste of the food was very good but the price-performance ratio was clearly too high. The service could be improved. It was a good experience because of the delicious food, but it will probably remain a unique experience.

Unser Besuch im Zenzakan war ein echtes Highlight. Das Restaurant beeindruckt mit einem eleganten, exotischen Ambiente, das sofort eine besondere Atmosphäre schafft. Die Speisekarte bietet eine beeindruckende Auswahl an asiatischen Fusion-Gerichten, die sowohl geschmacklich als auch optisch überzeugen. Der Service war erstklassig – aufmerksam, freundlich und sehr professionell. Für einen besonderen Abend oder ein festliches Dinner ist das Zenzakan absolut zu empfehlen. Ein Genuss für alle Sinne und definitiv einen Besuch wert!

Everything in itself was great but for 200 euros the portions were really small. You just pay for the location

We wanted to celebrate a friend's birthday here. We have not experienced worse service in all our years in Frankfurt. You wait what feels like an hour for a bottle of vodka. We then wanted to pre-order drinks so that we could toast at 12 p.m. Unfortunately, this took more than 15 minutes, so we almost couldn't get started in time. Furthermore, despite so much going wrong, our waiter was unfriendly and even rude instead of being accommodating.

Der Service war ueberragend gut, speziell Carla die uns ueber den Abend verwoehnt hat, und sehr gut beraten hat. Sie Speisen wie immer sensationell vom Geschmack aber auch die Praesentation war beeindruckend. Vorspeisen, Hauptspeisen und das Dessert waren ein Gedicht. Die Cocktails haben uns alle begeistert. Wie immer ein gigantisches Erlebnis im Zenzakan, macht weiter so, eure ioana andrei

The service was extremely good, especially Carla, who pampered us throughout the evening and gave us very good advice. As always, the taste of the food was sensational, but the presentation was also impressive. Starters, main courses and dessert were a poem. We all loved the cocktails. As always a gigantic experience at Zenzakan, keep it up, your ioana andrei

Lots of young crowd, cool location, innovative starters! Main dishes are price performance but so-so... rice almost 9 euros as a side dish 🤣👍 Service is top, there's nothing to complain about. Cocktails were also very good.

Was there recently. The service was very friendly and great. We felt very comfortable. Everything looks great and the food was great too. Thank you

A local “trendy” restaurant that reminds me of Buddha bars and other “lounge” restaurants from the 2000s in certain European cities. Quite expensive, decent food, undoubtedly one of the city's famous places but in my opinion quite far from my culinary expectations (a little too factory for my taste)

Ganz neue Geschmackswelten. Super nettes Team. Kreativ. Was man alles mit Lebensmitteln anstellen kann. Einfach Weltklasse

Wenn man zentral in der City , beten Sushi und so weiter sucht , mit bestem Service in wunderschönem Ambiente dann ist man hier richtig

Great ambience, very attentive service and great sophistication in the taste and presentation of the food.

We wanted a special evening and chose Zenzakan. The service was very attentive & the food always came very quickly. The starters were very tasty. We wanted the Peking duck for the main course, but we had to order it in advance, which no one had informed us about. So we switched to the ox rib and the chef's choice of sushi sashimi. Both very tasty. I would have hoped for a little more variation with the sushi and not just the two simplest rolls. The ox rib was very tender, we also ordered garlic rice, which was one of the highlights of the evening. All in all it was very tasty but not worth the money. We wouldn't come back for a while

An experience you have to make when in Frankfurt City! With valet parking and all the perks!

Went to Zenzakan for the first time last night. At the beginning of the evening we came with very high expectations since it is already considered more upscale cuisine. At the beginning we were greeted very nicely by the waiter and had a good first impression. The Basil Smash Cocktail is an absolute recommendation, I haven't had a better drink yet, but for €18 there is very little cocktail in the glass if you remove the giant ice cube. We also found the starters to be very solid and well seasoned, which suited our taste. The main course was also solid, the ox rib was tasty and tender (with rice which was ok) We expected a lot more from the sushi for the price, it wasn't much better than standard except for the presentation. Conclusion: 3 stars everywhere due to the high prices, the service was nice and friendly, but could be even more attentive and quick. The food was delicious but also had positive and negative sides. There would probably have been 5 stars everywhere if it were a normal price category, but you would expect a lot more. You can tell that the “better known ones” get an extra treat in terms of service and taste from the YouTube videos We would probably still come back again to be proven wrong and overall it wasn't a bad experience.

Were on May 10th. there, recommended with all my heart! The food was exceptionally great! So delicious, many thanks to the kitchen for this magical feat. The service was very attentive, friendly and accommodating, we didn't miss anything. Many thanks to Nissrine, Alex, Niko and Steffen, you do your job with a lot of love. The ambience is classy and elegant. There's nothing to say about the price, it's proportionate to the performance and what you get. My favorite in Frankfurt am Main. And thanks also to the cleaner, everything was sparkling clean :)

Top service, super lovely staff! If you want to have a special evening, this is the right place, great host & reception with Mark :)

Nice restaurant, we ordered sushi, dumplings, vegetarian and all sorts of things and all tasted very good. Took a long time to find them though as the google maps marker was way off the real location and not a single sign anywhere. Although the place is bog it still feels cozy. Update may 24 - google map marker moved per my suggestion, thanks!

Unfortunately, interest in the guest wanes after the bill has been paid. An expensive scarf was lost in the wardrobe, but there was little interest in clarifying the matter. Replacement or compensation? None... Good customer service can be different!

Nice place. Valet parking is charged. Great ambiance.

Very good restaurant, but when using the valet service you should inspect the vehicle for possible damage when dropping off and returning the vehicle. The front right rim was damaged. On the subject of star deduction, a deduction for the damage to the vehicle and another star deduction for the email from management The price for dinner for 2 people without alcohol is over 320 euros.

Unfortunately, our visit to Zenzakan was disappointing. Despite a reservation, when we arrived we were transferred from one waiter to the next in an uncoordinated manner. Eventually we were asked to register on the terrace, which we were initially pleased about as we like sitting outside. However, our joy quickly turned into disappointment when - after the two ushers had finished chatting - we were sent back inside the restaurant, even though the terrace was still completely free and the weather was very nice. The service did not improve as the evening progressed. In the end we had to wait 5 minutes for the bill and even though we had already announced that we wanted to pay by card, the card machine was initially forgotten and then didn't work. Finally we paid in cash and had to wait another 5 minutes for our change. When I told the waitress my view of the evening, she offered us a "shot" as compensation, which we declined. The crowning glory was the valet - we had given him the tip recommended by the Zenzakan via a sign when we returned the vehicle - unfortunately he apparently couldn't remember us anymore because he pointed out the tip recommendation when we returned the vehicle. Although the food was delicious, the rest of the experience was subpar. We decided not to come back.

In short, food better than at nusret

Absolutely overrated! Food average, ambience okay but what's the point of a nice ambience if all the guests are crammed at the tables at the front while there is a yawning emptiness at the back of the restaurant. Completely overpriced for the taste experience on offer.

Where do I start?! A little confusing at first as the building houses 2 different types of restaurants. Entrance to Zenzakan is inside the White Ivory restaurant (very German cuisine) via very huge mahogany ancient doors up a few flights of stairs in the middle of the White Ivory restaurant. There are other rooms when you make it through Nania (the lion, the witch and the wardrobe style of entrance into another world). Unsure if these rooms where part of the White Ivory or Zenzakan. Anyhow there's a very wide and large red oak/mahogany wooden stars leading downstairs to Zenzakan. You should have burnt enough calories by now. Are you hungry? Good. There's a treat awaiting your eyes as you walk into this exquisitely decorated restaurant. The ambience is like something out of a glossy high end magazine. The staff are very welcoming and they speak perfect English too (for non fluent/non German speakers). Menus are in both English and German. The dishes are served in a very timely manner and what a sight to be behold as they were placed on our table. The food tasted just as delicious as they looked. Chef's kiss! Overall, beautiful ambience and delicious foods and excellent service, but for the price tag I wouldn't expect anything less. Somewhere to go to on special occasions or just to treat yourself (because you deserve it) and experience fine dinning. Dinner (starter, mains and dessert) for myself and my friend with a glass of wine each and a bottle of water came to just under €200 (including tip). No complaints. It was worth it and I would go back again. Con: the lighting was a little too dark for my friend to really appreciate what was on her plate, but her taste buds were delighted at the taste. Highly recommended if you have the budget for it.

The food is good, nothing more! The service for me was quick and friendly, the bar team stood there and was bored... no energy, I had to wait 30+ minutes for my drink. How do I feel about the restaurant....OK, that's enough...the guests come in tuxedos and the like, that's OK, BUT it does NOT reflect the standard of the restaurant...

Great ambience, high-class and high-priced food and drinks, cool and not too loud music in the background. Very nice and convenient valet parking (Ivory Club entrance). Has everything you need to start the night in a good mood and well strengthened😉

A truly exceptional dining experience awaits you at Zenzakan. From the moment you enter the elegant doors, you are surrounded by an ambience of sophistication and hospitality. Every bite is a symphony for the senses, carefully composed using the freshest ingredients and innovative techniques. The presentation of the dishes is an art form in itself and highlights the attention to detail that goes into each dish. The service staff, led by Denis Kroll, is not only professional, but also warm and attentive, and they will ensure that your dining experience is unforgettable. Zenzakan is more than just a place to dine - it's a journey for the palate that you'll want to experience again and again. A true highlight of the gastronomic scene.

We had a confirmed reservation for 7 p.m. When I came in, my husband said that the table was reserved in his first name. The name (it is really an international, simple name) was still not understood after 3 repetitions and the unprofessional receptionist said that there was no reservation. After we repeated the first name again, an answer came: “Oh, “xy” or something like that. She couldn't pronounce a simple German last name and followed it with “or something like that.” Seriously ? An adequate answer came from me and was followed up with irony. Unfortunately, since we just wanted to have a quick dinner, there wasn't enough time to inform the managing director/operations manager or whoever was in charge there. An absolute no go! I would seriously think about the reception. Awkward !!! The service staff were really very accommodating, pleasant and friendly. The food was OK, but the prices were clearly too high for what you got. I think that this is no longer a secret anymore. 45 minutes and 250€ later we left the restaurant, which will neither be visited again nor recommended!

If you are looking for a dining experience that will take your taste buds on a journey through Asia, then this is for you. This elegant restaurant offers a perfect mix of classic and modern interpretations of cuisine. The friendly service and convincing advice round off the experience.Top

Waren mit Freunden aus München zum Abendessen im Zenzakan. Unsere Freunde waren vom Ambiente komplett geflashed. Hatten einen schönen Tisch mit Blick auf den beeindruckenden Weinkeller. Das Essen, ins besondere die große Sushi Vorspeisenplatte, lies keine Wünsche offen. Der Service war wie immer perfekt und das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis ist angemessen. Wir freuen uns schon auf den nächsten Besuch im Zenzakan und werden sicher dafür einen Anlass finden.
