Hands down the best Japanese restaurant I’ve been to! The food was incredibly flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. Generous portions and an overall amazing experience—definitely worth visiting!

The quality is fantastic and the price is very good. I had the Yasai Curry (Vegetarian Curry). A bit different from the usual chicken or pork curry. The Yasai Curry had eggplant, croquets and a few other different types of veggies in it. I'll definitely be back!

Food was absolutely delicious!! Wagyu was soft and tasty, serving was massive and prices were considerably affordable. Didn’t take a photo of the dessert but it was not too sweet, just how we like it!!! 10/10 one of the best Japanese places I’ve been to in WA. Will definitely come back

is consistently good! The food is fantastic, with big portions that give great value. The Chicken Katsu is perfectly crispy and juicy, while the Lotus chips is just right. Definitely worth a visit!

This is definitely a hidden gem in the north! I’ve recently been to Japan and my oh my, this restaurant brought me back! If you want authentic Japanese cuisine, then Zen & Co is the place to be. My photos don’t do justice how amazing the food here is. Our dish was freshly made and everything was just scrumptious and gave delight! Thanks so much, we’ll always dine here whenever we get the chance!

Been to Zen & Co. couple times now. Honestly the best Japanese food we've ever had in Perth! Every mouthful in the bento boxes were delicious. Very flavourful meals and authentic. Better than most fine dining restaurants here in Perth. 100/10!
