5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 May 2012 NEW

Particularly fabulous if you need a break from Thai food - they do both Thai and European.

5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 May 2012 NEW

We spent 10 days in Koh Samui staying at a great resort and trying lots of different food. However, our dinner at Zazen was our favourite be a long way. Some really spectacular food, great staff all within a dramatic setting.

“Fantastic Evening”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2012

Gorgeous hotel. Walking through the winding paths through a tropical garden and reaching this beautiful boutique hotel on the beach was a memorable opening to our romantic evening together. Restaurant offered lovely views of the coast line. It was a bit sticky that evening with no wind but the ceiling fans really helped. Food was delicious. Wide variety of fish,... More

“Average Average Average”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 May 2012

Minus Points - Food service was average at best, they didn't even offer the 12 year old a menu! Food (taster menu) was nothing special the flavours were no different to anything we had eaten elsewhere for a third of the price. Plus points - The restaurant has a lovely setting, the walk through the grounds is a pleasure. The... More

“Lush”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 May 2012

Beautiful lush tropical setting. Great service. It may be better to visit during the day as we couldn't take advantage of the veiw which is one of the main reasons we went there.

“Great food and atmosphere!!!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 May 2012

Zazen restaurant is one of the best on the island; do not miss the chance to have the fabulous dinner there! Atmosphere is very nice, service is amazing, gastronomic menu and fantastic assortments of drinks. I highly recommend to try a lobster set for the dinner, it is very tasty! This restaurant is expensive, but it worth this!

I must have eaten in 40 or so restaurants over the years here in Samui when I have visited but for some reason missed Zazen off the list despite the constant praise. I must say it really is a lovely spot with an excellent menu and beautiful presentation . I did not go with the Thai menu and focused on... More
