Service is lacking a bit as staff seems too busy to take our order or top up the teapot. But I did appreciate the staff who took our order that we might be ordering too much. Otherwise, selection on the menu is good food is decently nice.

Atmosphere - this restaurant has a great ambience, nice decorations and is very clean. If you want to make your dining experience more private you can pull down the curtains.Service - most staff were very polite and helpful. Food was served quite quickly.Food - beautifully presented. Our favourite was the boneless duck feet, sliced pork knuckle and the golden fried shrimp balls. The boneless duck feet is a cold dish, perfectly marinated (not too salty or spicy). The boneless duck feet’s texture was and nice and crunchy. Slice pork knuckle was nice and tender, it came with scallion pancake, so for those thinking of ordering another set of scallion pancake, think twice . Also, the pork knuckle has a longer preparation time.The golden fried shrimp ball is yummy! The shrimp is huge, and cooked perfectly. The shrimp is coated in mayo and then coated with crispy coating. The coating just melts in your mouth.The Peking duck was average. While the duck itself is ok, the whole dish was let down by the pancakes wrappers. Perhaps I am use to very original thin pancake wrappers that you get elsewhere. The pancake wrappers were thick, they stuck together and some become broken when trying to separate them.The duck soup (second course) for the Peking duck was delicious!Will be back to try more dishes!

Didn’t get too many photos of fishes but food was quite subpar, we were encouraged to order more as the waitress felt like we didn’t order enough but we were so full and had so much leftover. Quite annoyed with that actually, I felt like we ordered sufficiently then she asked me to consider ordering more as people wouldn’t be able to eat enough… ridiculous.On top of that, presentation was spot on but the flavor was not

Quite a different chinese restaurant...some different dishes to try and nicely presented. However weird things for me were paying $12 for pot of tea (2 zealong teabags) given no other basic complimentary tea. We didn't enjoy the Peking duck as had high expectations...while beautifully presented felt like half the duck was missing?! Soup was not nice. I won't be rushing back but other dishes looked interesting so might give it a second chance!

Waited a while before being given the menu. Dishes arrived in a timely manner. Theres curtains around each table you can pull shut for privacy. Ordered 4 dishes:1. Peking duck- skin quite thick and easily torn, not enough sauce given, quantity of duck small...pretty sure they took out half or its a tiny little duck!2. Eggplant- tasty and interesting preparation3. Steamed egg custard with sea urchin - tasty but because the ratio of egg vs sea urchin/crab tomalley was out of balance about half the dish had no flavour where there wasn't any sea urchin or tomalley.4. Fried lamb with cumin and flapjack - tastyWould have given 4 stars but when I realized they charged $3 for extra sauce for the duck, I was quite annoyed. Firstly they should have given enough sauce that I wouldn't have needed extra, secondly they should have advised beforehand there was extra charge, third they should have absorbed the cost as they charged so much for the dish anyway. Even though this a small issue but it irked me.Take home message: don't order the duck.

If you're looking for authentic Chinese cuisine, look no further than Zen E Private Kitchen. The flavors are so rich and complex, and the portions are generous. A must-visit restaurant!

The three dishes we ordered were all delicious. It's a very busy restaurant, we had to cancel one of our dishes in the end after an hour of waiting. Would like to try some other dishes at this place next time on a less busier day!
