Zen Asian Restaurant
About
Are you craving a box of General Tso's Chicken or a pint of Fried Rice? Zen Asian Restaurant is a local favorite for Chinese food in the Ozarks. While their dining room only seats about 30 people, their kitchen is always busy, as they are a favorite for takeout as people are heading to Lake of the Ozarks. Zen Asian Restaurant is open for lunch and dinner and is generally a family-friendly option with many mild dishes. There are vegetarian options with tofu available as a meat substitute.
A local favorite is the Springfield Style Cashew Chicken, chunks of fried chicken served on rice with an oyster sauce with cashews and green onions. This dish originated in Springfield, just a short drive south of Lake of the Ozarks, in the 1960s when immigrant and chef David Leong combined the recipes of his native China with Ozark flavors. Springfield Style Cashew Chicken is local comfort food, and the perfect carry out meal. Many people like to add a serving of Crab Rangoon to the order.
If you are picking up food on the way to the lake, they offer a carryout special. Call ahead, and they can have your food ready for you. If you are looking for food as carryout for a large group, they can take your order the day before to make sure they can have your meal hot and ready when you want it.
