Zenna is a quirky mix of Japanese, Thai, and Lounge Lizard, with good happy hours, free wifi, and serving food till 3am. I like the spirit of this place. They play contemporary pop music, sometimes with flashing blue disco lights at the bar, giving it a charmingly cheesy quality that you only seem to find in non-American establishments that try really hard to cater to American tastes. They really hustle here; they have an extensive menu with great happy hour deals, and they're open later than anyplace in the area. The dining room is big and spacious, tastefully decorated, and the booths are huge and can easily seat 6 people in comfort. They have the best tom kha gai in this area. Pungent, delicious, without any chicken in it (which I always find tasteless and boring), and without the woody galanga roots that you normally have to cautiously pick around. Just pure vegetably, brothy, coconutty goodness, perfectly seasoned. You get a cup of this soup automatically with your lunch dish. They have very good curries, a great Thai peanut dish (I prefer the pork-- tasty, lean and tender), and some pretty nice sushi options. It's probably not the best at anything (go to Royal Thai or Chow Thai for near-perfect Thai) but it's consistently good, and very satisfying. They serve beers in those tall mini-keg dispensers, at ridiculously cheap prices. They also have a lot of good little snacks. I like the "Seagull Roll" (horrible name, tasty flavor) but I'd avoid the ribs, which are very fatty and gristly, and seem to be of the lowest quality cut. They have good free wifi, and 3 tables where you can plug in: the 2 large booths in the corner near the plug, or the small table nearest the kitchen (you have to reach around the curtain to plug in). I always get a slight feeling from a couple of the female waitresses that they don't like us staying there for hours taking up a table, but hey-- we always buy plenty of stuff, and we don't work there when it's too busy. We've had business meetings here and spent many an afternoon enjoying their happy hour mini-kegs while working on our laptops. I love this place and I'm even starting to enjoy the cheesy music. I wish it wasn't so close to Central Expressway though, as it makes sitting on the patio nearly impossible due to the noise.

I went here with a group of friends for a birthday. It was around 4 so I'm guessing we missed the lunch crowd and avoided the dinner fiascoes. We had no problem at all with the service and our table of 7. The waitresses were all very nice and refilled our drinks quickly. They have a happy hour that includes alcohol and dollar sushi from 3-7pm I believe. I ordered Beef Pad Ba-Mee (N4) while my boyfriend ordered Pork Pad King Sod (E6). It was happy hour so he also ordered a Shiner which was $.50. It came in a very small glass and was disappointed with that so he tried a Long Island ($3). It was very watered down and also disappointing. The food, however, was definitely a hit with everyone. Mine had a lot of meat and large mushrooms sliced in it. The oyster sauce was great and not overpowering. His meal was also very tasty.. especially if you love ginger. I got to steal a couple of bites. For the birthday girl, they played drums and had a dragon. They also served her a pretty dessert of fried banana slices with ice cream donning a candle. It was really good. The banana 'crust' had coconut fried in it giving it a nice texture and taste. I only wish I could have eaten more! I plan on going back and trying the sushi or some other dishes.

Came here a few weeks ago and boy we didn't even get to sit down. A group of came before us and asked for 8 but only 4 was there. We waited for the hostess to get off the phone. We looked at her but she kept on talking on the phone. After 5 minutes, we asked can we get seated, she said your table isn't ready yet, we said you don't even know how many is in our group since you haven't acknowledged us since you been on the phone the whole time. My group raised a fit and left. This was bad on their part since I told my friends to try this place out, the food is decent here. So this place needs to have adequate host or hostess for the lack of decent thai food in the plano area.

Really 2.5. Maybe someone at Zenna is reading the reviews here. Service was very attentive... so attentive we felt rushed to order our entrees and they were delivered before we even finished half our appetizers. I guess the upside of that was nearly unlimited and frequent refills of our soda and iced tea (which was tasty). Corn patties were a bit overdone for me. As I said, we order lettuce wraps but never had a chance to eat them before the entrees were thrust upon us. We'll see if they are any good as a leftover in tomorrow's lunch. My companion was happy with his chicken teriyaki (how does one F*ck that up?) and white rice. I had the combo pad thai. There was plenty of tasty chicken, beef and shrimp, but I could nt find any tofu and I agree with another Yelper that the sauce was too sweet. Having said that, I bet I would be much less critical if I was experiencing all this at 2am after a night of partying rather than the dinner hour. I like the decor and the concept. Wish the rest fell into place.

I went during happy hour and I thought everything was meh. I tried their chicken yakitori which wasn't good. Their rolls are okay. Edamame was overcooked at times. Mix drinks were watered down not great. The happy hour price is good, but I wouldn't really want to come back. The service was a bit slow too and I'm saying this because I've been a waitress at a sushi restaurant before. I actually felt like our server was lazy. The employee's were nice though.

Been there twice. Once was nice (calming interior, interesting space, the food and service were good). Once was a total hellhole experience. As another poster said "tuner car convention from hell", with spilling, shouting at the top of lungs, yelling, hitting, screaming, ** spitting on the floor **, and general douchebag behaviour. And that was just the girls. The guys were hat-on-sideways baggy pants morons even more violent and loud. There was a "serve yourself" beer urn on the table that I will assume was filled many times before we got there. I will be gracious and assume these were UTD students on a Very Serious Binge rather than a home-invasion gang getting liquored up for the night's action. This was a 8pm, it wasn't 2am or something like that. We will never, ever go there on a weekend again. The amount of noise and disruption was such that I am surprised nobody called the police.

A Thai/Sushi restuaruant that opens until 3 am and delivers! Thai restaurant that also serves sushi/sashimi and Chinese dishes.. The food isn't fancy or anything but it's good for the price. This place is open from 11am - 3am EVERYDAY and will deliver within a 5 mile radius (with minimum $ order)...and they also have a great happy hour menu. If it's your birthday, the staff will come out with a a big thai drum wearing masks and a traditional dragon costume to sing happy birthday to you. The waiter was slow, but it's probably because we went on a Friday night which is usually packed.

The service is definitely horrible. We went twice thinking the service would be better the second time around... yeah not so much. The food is decent i have had better but it's pretty good for the price. The fried rice is really good MMM. but i didnt think the sushi was all that great. but like i said... its good for the price. An average price per person should be about $20-25 depending what you get and how much you get of course. They have a little patio area which is nice but not for people watching (I'm a huge people watcher) the patio over looks 75 so its GREAT for car watching. 2 stars for bad service. 3 stars for food. 3 star for atmosphere.

Can't really comment too much on the food because we usually start at happy hour and after a few beers, sakes, and sake bombs it's hard to judge the food. Got to say the happy hour prices are ridiculously low but when the happy hour ends that place clears out faster than a Cowboys game in the 4th quarter ;) The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is quaint. They recently opened another location downtown which has a really nice outside seating area.

I have been to Zenna Thai a few times. The first time was the worst time, It was a Friday night. The Dinner Crowd was hot and heavy as expected. The husband ordered a pad see eew with chicken,Mild. I ordered a spicy Thai fried rice with beef. My Husband was not happy with his order as he received a SPICY chicken dish when he specifically ordered mild chicken. I was quite satisfied with my order. I attempted to go a few other times I wasn't knocked off my feet. Once again the food was OK. Not Fantastic. Service again was poor.

So another Asian fusion restaurant... The neon sign that enticed me to try it? Open till 3 AM! Where else do you find that in Plano? The place was almost full when my hubby and I arrived on a Friday night. The dinner crowd was a great mix of folks from every color of the rainbow to every age bracket. More on the bar crowd below. The decor was simple yet elegant in its simplicity and did not offer the same nauseating decor that you would normally find in the Richardson Chinese/Vietnamese restaurant corridor. In trying new restaurants, I always order the tried and true dishes first. After all, if they can't make a pretty typical dish, what more for the more complicated ones? So on I go to ordering the pad thai (I told you I would go typical!) , mussaman curry with chicken alongside some nigiri (salmon, tuna, smelt roe) and some rolls (California, spider, dragon). The pad thai was so sweet that I could hardly finish it. Where was the hint of tamarind in that dish? The mussaman curry was a non-event and lacking that oomph that authentic Thai dishes are known for. The rest of the sushi that I mentioned above - all extremely ho-hum just like all the other sushi joints one can find driving up and down 75. Unfortunately for other authentic Asian food die-hards, the dishes served here are more for novices. Yes, it is fusion but where's the lemongrass and galangal and chilies that loudly pronounce and define Thai cooking? The thing is - this place would be ok with ho-hum food; after all, they know who they want to cater to and it's not native Thais or else they wouldn't make it part of the fusion craze. And if I am hungry enough, I will go back. But when you have me waiting well over 15 minutes EACH time just to place my order, get a refill on my water, get my check and run my card, that's pushing the limits on my "fusion" patience quotient. And the bar crowd that night? A tuner car convention from hell! That or Karma wasn't open yet! Zenna is not in the chicest part of Plano but I didn't expect the whole bar to be littered with drunk gangster wanna-bes all screaming and high fiving at the top of their lungs - and they were just talking! The crazier part is management appeared to have been ok with it. I know the other dining patrons were uncomfortable with how "douchebaggy" they were. If that is the usual bar crowd every weekend, I hope Zenna makes a choice on who can pay their bills better - the diners or the saggy posse. I would have stuck just one star but the food was ok - no ever died from having ok food and the decor was modern. The service, authenticity and crowd control could have been better. All in all, an ok time just like the food. See you there after hours!

So I have been a big user of yelp but never put a review up. However I was feeling bad about being selfish so here is the first one. This is my favorite late night Thai spot, and by favorite, I mean the only one I know of. As it is open to 3am and delivers til 3am I find myself making up reasons to order from this place. Now I have tried their sushi, pad thai, and they were ok. However the ONLY reason they are getting a 5 is for their red chicken curry. I am a HUGE fan. Not badly priced, if you order delivery you get enough for two meals.

Came here at the suggestion of a friend. Trying to find a Thai place and asked a friend who happens to be from Thailand. She suggested Zenna and said it has the most authentic food in the area. Parking is a little tough. There doesn't seem to be enough parking for the restaurant and the Motel 6 which is right behind it. Arrived at 8:00 and still had to wait for about 15 minutes. The tables were full with couples, families, and some parties. There is a full bar and a sushi bar. Saw that during happy hour there are $0.50 beers! Maybe that's why our friend loves this place. It seems that as with all other Asian restaurants in the area, there needs to be some type of Sushi aspect. No different here. I had the green curry. My wife had the red curry. We ordered a "tuna tower" like thing to share. The tuna tower, uninspiring with not much flavor. If I didn't have it, I wouldn't have missed it at all. The curry was great. Good flavors, complex with curry, coconut milk, herbs. I had chicken and they give you a good amount. I could have used more rice, but that's what happens when you're asian, rice with everything. This is absolutely going to make it into the rotation. It may have to be the downtown one since we live in Dallas. I'm excited to try the other dishes other people have suggested.

Definitely not going back. The place is ok, but the food is pretty awful. Seems like they just pour a whole bunch of sugar and fish sauce into their food. All the dishes I ordered were just too sweet and weird. If you are looking for a good Thai and Japanese restaurant, you probably don't want to choose this place.
(1)
Ryan B.
Is it a bar? Or a restaurant? A club? Or a sushi bar? Fish market or meat market? Can't tell. Weekend night during happy hour, it's totally packed because they do Happy Hour prices *in the entire restaurant*. The sushi is totally Meh, but for what you pay, it's not bad. Load up on booze and it won't matter. You have to be really assertive with the staff to get their attention they're so busy. Parking is a total beating though. The bartenders are long-timers, so if you have an option, sit at the bar. The clientelle is nice, a bit younger (late 20s, early 30s) than the "serious" sushi places, and mostly there for the cheap drinks and cheaper fish flesh.

This place is great. They brought out complimentary lemon and coconut milk soup that was delicious. I got the garlic chicken bento box and my girlfriend got the pad thai. Both were good, especially paired with a nice Singha thai beer. I recommend this place if you want good food in a quiet casual atmosphere. Also, nice outdoor patio with lots of shade. I hope they're dog friendly!

My boyfriend and I go here once about every two or three weeks. He LOVES their Tom Yum Noodle Soup, which is surprising considering the fact that he's thee pickiest eater on earth. I generally get the Pad See Ew w/ Shrimp because it's delicious. I love their food here, however service = eh. Most of the servers we had pay attention at the beginning to greet but then they tend to drift off to some other place. We always know what we want but they take FOREVER just to come check up on us. Overall, food is awesome, service is okay.

Ok so I am so sad to give this place only 3 stars, truth is, the food was great and I really enjoyed the atmosphere of Zenna, but the service was horrible. I have heard so many good things about this place over the last couple months, and i was very excited to go and try it out. So I went last night for my 25th Birthday with a small group of friends around 5pm to enjoy their amazing happy hour that I had heard so much about, and it was great! Their happy hour menu was awesome, I ordered several discounted sushi rolls off the menu, and they had 50 cent Drafts (6oz) and they also offered (not on the happy hour menu) $1 draft beers (12oz). The happy hour menu said they had Shiner on tap, but when I asked about it our waitress (who we had a little bit of trouble understanding) kept saying they didn't have it, they only had bud light and something else we never understood (but it sounded alot like shiner bock, lol). Anyways. The drinks came out quickly, and she took our order quickly, and then we didn't see her for quite a while. Finally our food came trickling out of the kitchen, and everyone at the table got served before me and I ended up waiting for my meal for about 20 minutes, which was very disappointing. The shrimp tempura roll I ordered was delicious when it finally got there, but from that point on, if we needed our server she was no where to be found. We then waited forever to order more drinks, and it took (we timed her) an additional 30 minutes to bring them to us. at that point we were getting very frustrated. Then, when we got our bill, she had overcharged us $8 each for what we understood to be $2 well drinks for happy hour, when we specifically asked her if it was what was on the happy hour menu and qualify. She argued with us a bit, and I asked to talk to the manager, and she refused for a moment, saying she had already talked to her. I finally got her to get the manager over, told her I was unhappy with my birthday experience, that the service had been terrible thus far and that we had tried to be patient and now with the drink mix up I was very upset. She then made excuses for her servers saying one didn't show up, or got caught in traffic, and they were short staffed (even though all the tables around us were being served promptly and was service was moving along for them) and then she explained why it was our fault that we were over charged $16 dollars total for 4 drinks, and made a joke about it must be my 21st birthday since we didn't know how to order drinks, which I corrected her and said we specifically asked if the drinks were the happy hour special and she said that her server was the one who didn't drink much and didn't understand it didn't apply and finally said she would take care of it only because it was my birthday and I would know for next time. Anyways. It was sort of a fiasco. But the food was Delicious. I don't know that I would go back for any sort of special event, but I would go back to take advantage of the happy hour drinks and sushi that I enjoyed as long as I have ALOT of time on my hands and feeling very patient.

If you are anywhere close to a sushi-aholic as I am you will get craving for some after 11 at night. Why not come here? Decent sushi, and good drinks. Till 2-3 in the morning. Excellent idea if you ask me.

Phanna L.
the food is good...sushi is good...price is good for most of their dishes but some are a lil over priced for some of their dishes....but still it's a nice place to hang out any day of the week since their open like everyday and really late to...till 3:00am i think.....over all i enjoy going there with friends, family.....

The only reason this place has the 1 star is because it will not let me give it a ZERO! We ordered for a late night delivery on our wedding night and were staying at the near by Renaissance Hotel, who recommended the place as their room service stopped serving at 11 and it was now 1 am. We called and made an order to a man who was VERY rude on the phone. I couldn't believe the delivery time for us, not even a mile away, was 45 minutes but we had no other options at that hour and were starving! The food NEVER came! After an hour, I called back to get the rude man again who was BLAMING ME saying his driver was trying to get a hold of me. I had ZERO missed calls. He said he'd tell the driver to go back to the lobby. My new husband went down there to wait. 30 minutes later, he comes up with NO FOOD. There was nobody there. I tried calling and calling and this man would literally pick up the phone and hang up without a word. To add insult to injury they charged us! I called back and spoke with a manager who profusely apologized saying she'd buy us dinner. We were headed back out of town as we no longer live in Dallas so she said she'd mail us a $50 gift card to apologize that we could use the next time we were in town to see family, as well as refund our credit card. NOTHING happened. The credit was never issued and a gift card NEVER came to us in the mail. I will NEVER go back to this place and if anyone recommends it to us again, I'll tell this whole crappy story. This was nothing short of theft, not to mention a terrible way to end one's wedding night. NEVER AGAIN!

These people have misleading pricing on their menu. If you go there, once you receive your bill, request to have the menu back. They overcharge their customers and that is how they make money. They have no integrity what so ever. After I received the bill and noticed that I was overcharged for every items I ordered, I asked for the manager. The manager shows up and he looked like a high school student who barely spoke English. He was speaking over me and giving excuses why the price was higher. All he could say is that there is a sign at the front stating that the prices have increased and that the price has increased for over a year now. I asked him why they never updated their menus with their new prices and they said that they ordered new menus and it is being shipped (which is a lie). I asked for the owner. He went in the back and came back saying that the owner said he was busy and that I should pay the bill as stated so no need for negociation. I told him that I was not going to pay until the prices on the bill matched the prices listed in the menu. Then the manager started to threaten me that he will call the cops. During the conversation, a young lady comes in and whispers in his ear. Then the manager asked me to sit tight and that he will be back. 5 minutes later, two cops walked in. That manager called the cops on me because he could not adjust that bill according to what they advertise on their menu. I explained that to the cop and the cop asked the manager to give me back the difference in cash and he ended up honoring the price on the menu. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.... Do not step in to that restaurant. If you do, please check your bill. They will overcharge you. Worse service ever. The managers are completely uneducated.

I have driven by this place a THOUSAND times! The idea of Japanese and Thai is appealing, since i love both, but I just couldn't imagine a restaurant doing both well. I even stopped one night over a year ago for a menu, but for some reason, at that time, it didn't seem like a good enough spot to spend my hard earned money and sushi time! (I was still spoiled from living in California, I think) Last week, I promised my mom sushi, and so off we went. We had another destination in mind, but it was further away and so I just decided it was time to try this spot. Walked into the dining room and was impressed by the decor. Authentic without being campy. They were playing Top 40 hits, not Japanese music, which also drew me in. The cute guys at the bar having drinks didn't hurt either! ;) We sat down and were immediately brought some Tom Kha soup and our drinks! WOW! I didn't even know what I was ordering yet! The selection was so diverse and it all sounded good, so it took us awhile to order! We ended up with a blend of Thai and sushi- the best of both worlds, if you ask me, and the price was AWESOME! It was lunch, so I'm sure it's a bit pricier at dinner, but I already have plans to check out the dinner menu tomorrow night, so I'll let you know if it is anything less than worth it, which I doubt! Stellar service, stellar food, stellar prices! Awesome find!! (We eneded up with Yellow Chicken Curry Bento Box, a Philly Roll, White Tuna Nigiri, a Louisiana roll- amazing!- gyoza, a cup of soup each, and a tea each! GREAT DEAL and I have dinner left over!)

I'm not an expert on Thai food but I really enjoyed lunch here with my friend. The atmosphere was quite and tranquil. Had the lunch special which was all inclusive. The soup was especially good. I ordered the Calamari as an appetizer and I have to say it was the best I've ever had. I will go back just for that.

I love love love love love Zenna's food but not their service. I went here few times after long night at work (I used to work as server). We ordered from thai menu. Food are excellent! I love their duck soup :) Don't forget to let your server know that today is your birthday... They will celebrate with dragon dance complete with drums and dancers.

Great late night hours! I have never had anything bad, or average here. The Thai peanut with chicken is to die for and the sushi is excellent. Service is very consistent and fabulous. They have a great drink menu and their happy hour specials are awesome. This is my favorite restaurant in the Metroplex, hands down. Try the Heaven Beef...It's addictive!

Jenny M.
I love to go their happy hour i think started at 3pm end at 7pm. It is a good place to kick it with your friend. I never order sushi there. their sushi was ok not that great but with their appetizer it was awesome. If you want to go Zenna for happy hour, just order the appetizer or the Thai food because that is their specialty. If you are a sushi person then suggest you go a real Japanese restaurant. Enjoy it.

Julie D.
Not a fan. First time there and likely not going back for a long, long time. A friend raves about the place, but he's not that picky....like MOI! :D Anytime there's a mix of different cuisines, I'm a bit skeptical....Thai AND Japanese? Hmmmm, I think not! If you're going, I would go for the Happy Hour sushi and drinks after 3pm. The place was busy when we went so it's popular. Frankly, I don't think the hype is worth it...at all. Ordered: Sushi - Spicy tuna roll, rainbow roll, and shrimp tempura rolls. If you're a sushi snob, this is not the place to go. Mediocre sushi...thank goodness I paid the happy hour price for 2 of the rolls. The rainbow roll at $11.25 was overpriced for the way it tasted. Pad Thai - wayyy to sweet for my taste. It should be sour and just a little sweet. Tasted like dessert noodles if there ever was such a thing. Tom Yum Soup - it was alright, they didn't skimp on the shrimps so that's good. Fried rice combination - had beef, chicken, and shrimp, the person that ordered it liked it okay...she said it was like any other fried rice. Last but not least, there was a birthday girl or boy in the next booth. All of the sudden, we see people in Chinese Dragon suit singing happy birthday with the waiters, also with loud, clanging sound effects...ughh...I may have been in a bad mood because it was clanging right into my ear and I thought it would never, ever stop. So it's chinese/thai/japanese. IF I go back, probably going to stick with the thai cuisine more than anything. I want to give it 2.5 stars because I can't bring myself to give it 3 stars.

Sushi roll is okay. Sashimi is pretty good. It's fresh. I know sushi places that are way better. But the Thai food is excellent. Yellow curry is my fav. And I also like their lamp chops for a good snack after drinking. They open late and that's awesome!

When there last night and waited forever for everything. To order a beer took 15 min. Food was good, but nothing special. The space was a little funky but more in a cheap way than a cool way. This place has 50 cent beers at happy hour (3-7) and stays open till 3am. That's the only special thing. When I walked to be seated, there was two women who where yelling at one another at the bar....too many 50 cent beers.........A parade of 12 people came out with gongs, masks and a dragons head to sing happy birthday......

This is a place when you go to if you're drunk and need some food. If I weren't sober this place would be getting 5 stars. Its open late and the food is decent. There pad see yew is probably the best dish. Curries are decent but small portioned and the other noodle dishes are made of the ramen noodle package. i have yet to try and eat their sushi ...it usually looks dry but who knows. This place is open late which is rare in Plano

I had the spicy ground meat pork boat with noodles and it was delicious. The prices are very reasonable, actually very low considering the quality of the food. The restaurant itself is very clean and it has a very lively and entertaining feel to it. Zenna's does't close until 3 AM which is great. I can't wait to eat there again!

Wait staff is cheerful and prompt. Kitchen was busy (full parking lot and restaurant) and my meal took 25 minutes. Had the Green Curry initially. Not that great, and they messed it up, leaving in an ingredient I had asked to be omitted. It was flooded with curry and hot even though I had requested mild. So I switched to Pad See Eew and it was quite good, although the sweetness seemed over the top. The restaurant is very noisy and open and it is difficult to carry on a conversation. And the dragon parade for birthdays that others have observed... yep, just pure cheez, but fun... I would only come back here with a large group. The food is decent. And the Thai iced tea is always a hit with me at any Thai restaurant and this is no exception. For occasional Thai, this isn't bad.

Based on delivery only. Good fresh sushi and yummy Thai delights. Been using them for years with no problems at all. They deliver late, too.

I went to Zenna for a lunch meeting and initially had high hopes for it. The decor was modern and hip, while the materials used for the tables and such felt a little cheap, this was an under $10 restaurant, so I thought they should get props for good execution on a budget. The food was ok, at the price point of about $7 for a lunch box I can't really complain about the lack of taste for the Pad Thai except to say that the food by itself depending on the dish would be 2.5-3 stars. Since Sushi Sake is so close, I would not recommend ordering sushi here, even if it's $1-$2 cheaper at Zenna. HOWEVER, the service was simply horrible. The food took at least half an hour to be served and close to over an hour before I got my drink refill despite asking for it twice. I probably would have been better off at Chipotle or somewhere I could have refilled the drink myself.

My husband and I eat here at least 2-3 times a month, as they deliver to our area and the food usually arrives within 30 minutes. Some of our usual favorites: the tulip dumplings, tom-kha kai (coconut chicken soup), drunken noodle, and red curry beef. We've had their sushi many times, and it's usually pretty fresh. They have some tasty desserts too; I especially like the black sticky rice with coconut custard. It's not super cheap, but you do get a lot of food for the money.

I would go here because it was open late like after twelve late and wanted somewhere to eat and drink. This seemed liked a great place at first upbeat music large menu with a variety of asian food. I think that was the probablem they tried to do to much. Some of the sushi I had wasnt bad but I just couldnt stand the ones covered in some red mayo sauce. I tried thier rack of lamb, too dry and no flavor. Not the place for me late night or earlier.

Great Thai-Japanese fusion place. They are open very late!

Don't get me wrong I LOVE Zenna. Love love love the food and atmosphere which is why it pains me to give this place a 3 but I'm also a service girl (hey, stop those dirt thoughts!) so if the customer service isn't right, it takes away from a place. Usually it's pretty good but that last couple times I've gone have been ridiculous. I called in a togo order a few weeks ago and the girl who handled it when I got there had completely forgotten my order! Then, she screwed up with my card and I truly believe she was semi-retarded because she was very slow figuring out my order and when getting my food to me. Then, my bf and I go to the bar for drinks recently and a new bartender was working. He was having a good ol' time chatting it up with his buddies that were at the bar too and took a minute to see what we wanted. My bf ordered his drink and then I ordered mine. He brought him his and walked away so I figured he went to make mine. After 10 min of looking at the menu and still no Kaluah and cream for me, it was obvious that he had forgotten and we had to ask for it... We finally order food and after finishing my Kaluah & cream, I ordered a lemon drop. He looks confused like I had just ordered some crazy complicated drink and days ok, one lemon drop martini. I said, NO lemon drop shot, not martini. He looks confused again but goes off to make it. 10 or so mins later my bf and I are about to take our shots and BAM! I spit mine out. Since when is a lemon drop MINTY?!?!? We ask what's in it and he said lemon and Goldshläger. Wtf?!? Everyone and their mama knows a simple lemon drop is vodka, lemon juice and water! We tell him this and ask for a remake. He brings back a lemon drop sans lemon o.O I say just forget it. Then he pretty much ignores us the remainder of our stay. WTF Zenna?! Wtf.....

This restaurant deserves 4 star for food, but the terrible experience I had with the hostess (Tina) compels me to give it a 1 star at best. We went here in the late afternoon around 3pm. The place was empty, with only 1 or 2 tables seated. There were a total of about 10 people in our party, but my wife and I were the first to arrive along with our 18 month old baby. Upon arrival, we asked the hostess for a table for 10. We never felt so unwelcomed at a restaurant ever before... the hostess had such a bad attitude.. NO smiles, TOTALLY UNprofessional, NOT a hint of the welcoming service you would expect from any mediocre hostess at an average restaurant. The hostess acted as if we were just lucky to be there, begging for a table. We waited for a few minutes for our table to be set up. And then.. here's the WORST part: she told us we can't be seated until half of our party shows up!!! Are you freaking kidding me??? I understand this policy if the restaurant was busy. But here we are at an empty restaurant, with my wife holding our hungry baby, and the hostess didn't have the common sense to get us seated? It's exactly like the scene from Meet The Parents when Ben Stiller was at the airport waiting to get on an empty flight and the gate agent told him he wasn't able to board until his zone was called. Seriously, is this just dumb or plain stupid? .. it was absolutely ridiculous! After some "words" with the hostess Tina, she hesitantly seated us. Trust me, if it hadn't been because I was expecting the rest of my party to arrive, I would have walked straight out of this "fine" establishment. I hope management would hire a more competent hostess. The food at this restaurant is great, but the bad / unwelcoming service is a huge turn-off that would ruin any decent meal.

Zenna is a great place to eat especially if you are looking for something with late hours. My favorite things to eat here are the drunken noodles, green curry and spicy basil fried rice. I have eaten a few of the sushi selections, but the sushi here isn't my favorite. I would recommend trying the entrees versus the sushi. I have also been here for happy hour for $2 Sake and margaritas! What a great deal! The tapas and garlic crispy pork ribs aren't bad during happy hour for such an inexpensive meal. I didn't give them 5 stars because the service can be slow at times. They can get busy here especially on late night weekends. If you are looking for a good Thai dinner I would highly recommend this restaurant!

Toni J.
I have zero complaints about a restaurant who is able to consistently put out an authentic, yummy Tom Kha Soup and Black Rice Custard dessert. So many Thai places I've been to are unable to turn out the same quality and flavor for my return visits. I know when I order Zenna, I'm getting exactly what I expect and that I'll enjoy it. I've ordered it over and over. Plus, I love that they deliver!

Used to go here so much. Food isn't great, definitely not what I would call "real sushi" but since the customers are probably 50% UTD students, and said students consider any thing that includes imitation crab wrapped in rice and seaweed "sushi" it's not surprising that if you ask a student in this area where a good Japanese place would, they would say zenna. Don't come here expecting great sushi. I mean come on, they also serve thai and chinese food. It's asian FUSION. I've seen that to a lot of people, their idea of sushi involves california rolls doctored a million ways. What's great about this place then? It opens late. The food is decent. I would come here at 12 am and the food tastes as good as if you came at 12 pm. Lunch specials are really cheap. The noodle plates are huge and filling. Definitely enough for two to share. Never order the volcano roll. It looks essentially like vomit over california rolls. It's just like, maybe 5 pieces of chewy scallops in a sea of nasty greasy orange mayo sauce. Birthdays are pretty cool. Annoy your friends, tell the waiter it's their birthday secretly and watch an embarrassingly loud dragon dance display ensue. They also get a free dessert if I'm not mistaken. I'm surprised this place got a high rating as it did. But I guess, any place with mediocre food and rock bottom prices would score high in a college area. You can kinda judge the type of food a restaurant will serve by it's clientele. Here, it's filled all the time with wannabe classy peeps (why wear club get up to this place at 7pm?), locals out to get drunk, and a 20-30 something way too rowdy jersey shore lookalike crowd. Service is okay. You're talking to overworked, tired local students. They come and go like Texas weather so don't expect them to care if you yell at them for screwing up your order. I've never had problems, although I've heard of many incidents.

Usually like this place. Was hard to get service-- for myself and 3 other people that came in at the same time. Sushi rolls were falling apart and fish was tough

I have mixed emotions on leaving a review for this establishment. The food display inside is old looking and tacky. The restaurant has that mold smell by the bar. The wait staff has gotten better, at which at one point of time the only reason they were tolerates was for the food. I used to be in love with their Red Curry, but I've just cut out the whole experience by making it myself at home. If you're looking for mediocre happy hour sushi, I would recommend this place though. Also, be aware of parking-- I've had friends cars get damaged and towed before. They have signs hanging on the way towards the restroom about where to park, but in all honesty who sees those? The bathroom themselves are a whole other story. Can they be cleaned sometimes? Writing this made me remember why I haven't gone in such a long time.

I typically come here for dinner. They are open super late so it's a nice spot for us to go satisfy those late night cravings. The first time I came here, I came in a big group and we ordered a bunch of small plates from the hot tapas menu. Everything was pretty tastey. However, I did not like the lamb chops. They were way too gamey tasting for me. I've never had sushi here before so I can't comment on the sushi. I've heard it wasn't that great so I've stayed away from it. They are however, known for their Thai food. There's a separate Thai menu that serves authentic Thai food but you have to ask for this. I think its only in Thai too! I totally love their Yen Ta Fo (spicy seafood soup) which is what I typically order when I come here. It's such a comforting dish. I also love their Kao Tom (Thai Rice Soup). Both of these can be found on the Thai menu. What I recently discovered is their lunch menu! You can get a small lunch portion of their Thai entrees in a bento box which comes with soup, salad, eggroll and a california roll for anywhere from $5.95 - $9.95 depending on the type of meat(s) you choose. I think that's an awesome deal! They don't skimp on the portions either! My only complaint would be timeliness. I came for lunch and after ordering, I swear we waited a good 30 minutes for our food to come out from the kitchen. That's just way too long when business professionals allot an hour for their lunch break. It even took them forever and a day to run our checks. I must say the timing issue only occurred during lunch. When I came in for dinner, the wait for our food was not this bad! Maybe they don't have enough chefs in the kitchen? *shrugs* Just come when you can have a long lunch. My friend even asked for no tomatoes or onions and his food still came with it. The waitress told him she indicated no tomatoes or onions when submitting the order but yet the kitchen still put it in. I do agree with Jennifer T. their happy hour is awesome. Fair warning though - place gets PACKED! I don't blame people for wanting to come to get $2 sake, $4.50 sake bombs, $3 wine, $2 beers... not to mention hot tapas at around $3.50.

I've come here many times for their happy hour specials (daily until 7pm), but each time I go, the food gets worse. Most recently, I branched out to try their Pad Thai. As I usually get sushi when I come here, I wanted to try something new. If you look at the pic I posted, you can tell it was so incredibly lacking. There was no flavor whatsoever. It did have a hint of ketchup (??), but there was no cilantro/basil, no veggies, and the meat was so tough and chewy. I was so disappointed. We always get a Midnight Roll when we go, but the rolls keep getting smaller and smaller. I wouldn't come back here again. I wanted to like this place as it was a hang-out staple for my friends, but I'd rather spend my money elsewhere.

It is good for what it is- cheap Asian bar food. I was a little disappointed in the sushi, but otherwise it is pretty solid.

Came here for lunch with co-workers. Their lunch special is definitely a steal. I got the green curry bento with rice, an eggroll, sushi, and a delicious peanut dressing salad. It also came with Tom Yum Soup, which was palatable as well. My coworkers also got the crab dip appetizer, which was normal fare. They also got the pad see ew and veggie stir fry bento boxes. (The noodle boxes get edamame instead of rice) For the most part, the polite and quick service and satisfying food made it a good place to eat for a nice lunch.

Only go for Happy Hour because that is when it is worth it. Cheap cheap beer and other drinks and ridiculously cheap sushi and apps. Now you have to order what they have from the Happy Hour menu if you want the deals, but they have a pretty big selection to please everybody. Sushi is great for the Happy Hour price. Calamari is the best!! Super thick pieces. Service is meh. Not super fast, but not ridiculously slow either. I'll pretty much only come for Happy Hour otherwise it isn't worth the price. I can make better sushi on my own for cheaper.

Cant beat the food, atmosphere, and happy hour specials. The ambiance is really nice and the prices unbeatable. Order the drunken noodles! You won't be disappointed! They can actually get to a scary spice level, the food is very authentic... the menu is the size of a book. They do deliver until 3:00 am which is an anomaly in North Dallas. They lost one star because I wish they had more hand crafted drinks, and when I have ordered from them for delivery or take out there were some packaging issues. But the management has always been very nice about addressing any concerns.

This is my favorite happy hour spot other than Kona. Parking lot is always full during HH (4p-7p), but there's another parking lot next door that is used too. It gets pretty busy, so wait service can get pretty slow. But prices, ambiance, and quality is good in my book. And they're open 'til 3AM almost everyday. Who can complain about that?

Shams B.
This is a favorite late night eatery for my friends and I, but there are far better Thai/Japanese places and the service can be quite slow even when it isn't as busy. I know this is an odd thing to mention, but the chopsticks here suck. Flat out suck. I've had take out places give me better chopsticks and I always have a fear that a splinter will stab me in the mouth if I don't rub them together to take the shavings off.

I've been to the Zenna in downtown, food and service are decent. We recently move to Plano so decided to drop by the Zenna near the house. WORST decision ever!!!! Host walk us to our table, and we waited for 15 mins with out anyone approaching us. After 15-20 minutes of waiting, our waitress finally shows up! My husband told her we have been waiting for this long, her response was "they just told me about this table,anyways are you ready to order???" OMG! Without an apology or whatsoever. I forgot her name, but she has a loud voice and bad attitude. We ordered the pork ribs--- good Thai low Mein---good Caterpillar and dragon roll---- AWEFUL!!!! The eel was fishy... And the shrimp tempura inside the roll was stale and soggy. On top of that, I got a fly stuck into my Dragon roll!!! ( I don't need the damn extra protein) We normally don't complaint even if the service is horrible, but this time is a must. We asked for the manager, and the staff said he's out delivering??? (Why are u delivering????" Anyways, we told them what happened... And guess what?!?! The manager told the waiter to give us 10% discount instead of taking my rolls off the bill. Seriously?!?! You can keep your damn $4 discounts. AWEFUL AWEFUL AWEFUL worst worst service ever!!!!!! Keep up the bad management and your restaurant will be shut down.

My first time here was on a double date with some friends. They had highly recommended it, and we were anxious to give it a try. We got there, and we had this amazing drink for four with long straws. I think it was called a flaming volcano...yummy! I had pineapple chicken fried rice, which was nothing short of delicious. The rice was cooked to perfection, and the chicken was tasty. The sushi was ok...it was good, but nothing to call home about. The one thing that bugged me about this place? The music was godawful...bad hip hop and techno seem out of place here. Otherwise, great place to eat, and LOTS of choices!

I tried the salmon sashimi, it was ok but not that fresh. The shrimp tempura roll was good, but I wasn't that impressed with the dragon roll, the sauce was a little too sweet and the rice too thick together. I also tried the fish salad it was very good as well as the service.

Jasmine T.
This was the first stop for the limo ride that I had over the weekend for dinner/drinks. I only had the fried calamari, a few rolls, and some lychee sake. What threw me off was the dragon dance to celebrate the birthday girl. I thought, is this a Chinese restaurant? Thai? Japanese? It seems like this place is going through an identity crisis. The food was okay, but the ambiance was what made this place at least decent.

Brooke S.
I love this place, but I have some constructive criticism. I'm starting this review with only 3 stars, but that's subject to change by the time I'm done :-D First of all, the food is wonderful. This place actually got me addicted to sushi (which I refused to eat until about a year ago. See, a good friend of mine roped me into going after a long night of drinking, and truth be told, I didn't even know what I was eating at first - you know, drunk munchies - and turns out it was fantasmo delight all up in my mouth. I'm sorry I doubted you, sushi : / ). I've since returned several times and the sushi is *very* fresh and there's a pretty large selection. The best thing is if you can't decide, you can choose the A, B, or C Sushi Platters and get a variety. The miso soup is also very good - hearty portion with big chunky vegetables. My favorite part about this place is probaby the chicken basil thai fried rice - it's very spicy and the flavor is just amazing! 3 stars is because it's hit or miss with the atmosphere, delivery, and service. Sometimes it's awesome - very chill and laid back; romantic, even! Other times, it's loud and full of large parties and very unpleasant. I've had awesome dine-in service once (the first time I went and it was 1 in the morning-imagine that!), but most of the time if you go there to sit down and eat, you're waiting for a LONG time (10-15 min) for someone to stop and ask you what you even want to drink. Takeout is hit every time though - order takes almost no time and you can sit at the bar and have a cheap beer while you wait (especially if it's during happy hour!) We live in the delivery radius also and again - hit or miss. It either takes 30 minutes or an hour and a half. But they've never messed up on our order, and the food is just as fresh. This place is a little pricey but overall, it is *the* best sushi I've had since I started eating sushi. And yes, I've been around to many, many different places in the DFW area since. Actually, just talking about it makes me want to hit that place after work before happy hour ends - so I'm changing my vote to 4 stars. : ) (what!? it's on my way home - how can you blame me!)

The food was not bad although the sea weed in my California rolls were really chewy which made them unpleasant. The service was mediocre at best and worst of all was the dirty dishes, this has happened to me before at this location. Great happy hour specials though.

You can get better sushi at Whole foods or Tom Thumb. The price fits the quality, it's not bad but there's much better sushi out there! The servers are usually nice, but I had this one girl that didn't care for much of what I had to say. She brought out slimy coconut and when I told her that it wasn't how it's suppose to be, she just said that it's from a can. I only took one sip and I was done. She should've taken it back but charged me for it instead. Happy hour prices are good. Parking is a disaster. Go to Masami, it's in richardson and their prices are fair and their quality is top notch!

I come to zenna pretty often for late night grubbings or when I want to catch their happy hour. It's a great place for get togethers considering the spacious layout of the dining area. The tuna tartar tower is my absolute favorite item on the menu! I'm a huge fan of Masago and tobiko! Great place for cheap beer and sushi. I do have to complain about the hostess/ greeter service here, id definitely say its not the best, But Servers are pretty nice and consistent with the tables though! :)

Several times I have ordered from Zenna online. They deliver very VERY late at night which is great when stuck working late with nothing open! So far everything I have ordered has been really good! Everything is hot and fresh when it arrives! Their sushi is top notch as well!! I highly recommend them!

i was excited about the fact that there is actually a real restaraunt open until 3AM every single day of the week ( i didn't go there at 3, but I am just saying.) Thai happens to be my fave cuisine and I was excited to check it out. I was underwhelmed with cuisine. it was just ok, i have indulged in far better thai cuisine. the customer service is just ok. the servers are lazy, young and uninformed about the menu. my thai fried rice was blah and the shrimp lacked flavor. i hear they have a good happy hour (50 cent draft beer.) if i do go back , it will be for happy hour, not for the food. the ambiance is nice, though

Great place to go for HH. Fantastic if you drunk and want some sushi or Thai curry. They are open and deliver til 3am. Pretty damn convenient if you ask me. Not my favorite place in the world but it is pretty good. Moderately priced mediocre sushi is worth a try.

As much as I love this place, and despite coming here quite often, I can only give them 3 stars. Service is almost always mediocre. It's bearable, but could definitely use improvement. Food is pretty good. I use good because it's just that. Nothing exceptional, but it's good. I like their Pad Thai and fried rice, both flavorful and spicy. As everyone has noted, their happy hour specials can't be beat. They're also open until 3 AM every day so it's great for late eats. Parking is a nightmare. I don't know how they have a full house when there are no parking spaces. Great environment for a party or to have drinks with friends.

Tasty food, good service, and a fun little dragon dance for birthdays! How can you go wrong? So far they haven't, after two visits I'm prepared to put Zenna in my rotation for tasty dinner delights. Now, I confess that I am not a sushi expert. I know what I like (Louisiana rolls, mmmm) and I know what scares me (eel?!?) however I keep an open mind and it has paid off at Zenna. I've tried 3 different kinds of rolls here and I liked all three. I generally have a 6 piece limit on my sushi eating and then my brain, mouth, and stomach all agree they've had enough nori and I go in reject mode. My favorite roll so far was similar to a California roll only it had a tasty sauce on the top and was crunchy, even my 9yr old ate a roll! Now that is saying something. The kid can be a picky eater at times but she ate a roll and enjoyed her pad thai with pork. The thai peanut (E4) is amazingly good. Like wow. The drunken noodles, pad thai, and roasted cashew (E7) are all good. The crab rangoons were different but quite tasty. One of these visits I am going to try a curry as I've never had one. My only complaint about this place is it is lacking in up keep. The exterior is kind of scuzzy looking in the landscaping/maintenance department. The interior needs a good cleaning and just general upkeep done. But I can put that aside for tastiness.

Bee S.
I like Zenna. I agree that it can be hit or miss though. If you like delivery for $10 orders, then it's a hit! If you like Happy Hour, it's a hit. If you mind a wait during dinner hours, and occasional slow service, it's a miss. If you like delivery of a hot yummy Tom Kha soup and cold California roll, and cold cucumber salad, in the same bag that sat while I was in a meeting for 45 minutes and the soup was still hot and the cold dishes still cold... then it's a hit! It is not the most wonderful sushi anywhere, but it is an interesting mix of choices for those of us who like non-American Chinese Asian food. I like the Thai dishes and the rolls. I never eat raw fish anywhere but a well-reviewed Japanese-run establishment- that's my rule. One time the cleaning smells from the restroomway overpowered my son and I at our table for lunch. but they stopped the cleaning when I asked. I am very happy to have discovered that they deliver for those busy days that I just can't leave and don't have time for a long lunch.

I am a Thai junkie and wasn't overly impressed with Zenna but I do have to give them props for their awesome happy hour! Their drinks are delish and most of the tapas I have had are fairly good as well. They also have a native thai menu like Nandina's, in fact I want to say that they are under the same owners. Their soups were impressive but their main entrees are what lacked pizazz for me. Whenever I go to Zennas I stick to their tapas and drinks. The sushi is okay and the wait staff is pretty friendly but can be inattentive sometimes. I do want to mention that if its your birthday the staff will come out with a a big thai drum wearing masks and a traditional dragon costume to sing happy birthday to you. That was part was pretty awesome, wish I could say more for the entrees. Ariza

Yes, this place has great happy hour prices, and I used to love it, but something has happened. I have been twice in the past month, and the sushi isn't as good as it used to be. I actually didn't feel well after I left both times. Sadly, I won't be going back.

I've been here several times for pick up , and a couple times just for sit down dinners. I use to work the overnight shift 7p-7am over in Plano, so whenever I had a hankering for a real meal, i'd put a order in. I usually stick to something regular (pad thai chicken or tofu), and it was good enough at 2am in the morning for my lunch haha. When i'd come for dinner a couple times, the food was alright, the inside decor was very contemporary and stylish, sets a good mood. I'd usually go around 6 or 7, so it wasn't too crazy, and service was decent. Although, one thing to note... when someone has a bday there, damn those drums are loud! haha 4 for being OPEN till 3am, and being halfway decent! I'm still trying to find a thai/chinese/korean/indian food place open till at least 3am, since I've moved over to N.Dallas.. Viva the Vampire Shift!

Zenna has one of the "BEST" atmospheres ever! Whether it's a first date, birthday, or a family nite...this is the place to be. They have the best sushi that I have eaten and the Thai food is definitely a winner. I can not think of an occasion that wouldn't be perfect to enjoy at Zenna. The staff is awesome and personable. Happy hour is daily from 3 all the way until 7! I love it, and I'm sure that you will also!

The great thing about this place is its atmosphere and it's one of the few places in town that is open until 3am. There is a full bar and the menu is pretty extensive. The place serves both Thai and Japanese. After 11pm or so the music goes from Jazz to Hip/R&B and the place is clean with a cozy atmosphere. I go there A LOT. And my experience is hit-or- miss. There have been several times where (no matter how full the restaurant was) I would be waiting 15-20minutes for a server, food, or SOMETHING. The manager is a straight-up JERK and sometimes my mixed drinks tasted awful. There ARE good experiences though. I have two favorite servers who constantly check up on my table and make sure that my time there is well spent and that I'm catered to at every moment. There is only ONE bartender whose drinks i will consume and honestly, if it weren't for these three individuals and if it weren't for the hours, I would not bother coming back to the restaurant at all (Ask for NOTT - he's the best server). Another plus, is that they WILL deliver anywhere. I was craving thai, and though I had to pay a delivery fee/mile, they delivered from Plano to Garland. Food is standard - I am, however, impartial to their tempura ice cream and their shrimp tempura. :)

There's some calibration required to wrap yourself around a 4-star review of Zenna. They don't have amazing drinks, and there isn't some revolutionary food here. This isn't haute cuisine, nor is it the end-all sushi bar. I wouldn't say this is first-date material. What this is, though, is one of the most social-atmosphere, dirt cheap, gritty little sushi and thai places you'll find. If you have 2 or more people this place kicks major butt. It's got a local bar feel, but you get food better than typical American bar food, and great prices. First, the prices: during happy hour it's 3 liters of Ziegenbock (they have other beer, too, I think, but I'm a Shiner guy, so this is all I care about) for $9. This rivals grocery store prices; go check, I have done the maths! They also have $3 hot sake, which is great for those who like hot sake. I prefer a higher quality cold, but when sometimes you need that fix of cheap hot sake. They also have dirt cheap finger rolls and a couple other cheap dishes. You can feast for an hour and get plastered for like $12 a person; it's crazy. The food is not mind-blowing usually, as I said. But that isn't to say it's bad. If you are a sushi snob... well, first pull the stick out because sushi is a food borne out of poverty so get off your high horse, and second just keep your nose out of the sushi menu. They don't have revolutionary rolls, but the standards they have are always good and well balanced. The shrimp tempura roll served during happy hour will hit that same place in your soul that really bad chinese food or really greasy mexican food does. Sometimes your stomach needs to slum it. The sea bass is always fantastic. I have eaten sea bass at several of the best restaurants on earth and the best I have ever put in my mouth is at Zenna. I highly recommend it, because it never disappoints. The tuna tartare is hit or miss, but when it hits it knocks it out of the park; the perfect blend of flavors. But be sure to order some fried wonton chips with it, because you'll need them. It is very much an asian guacamole, and it rocks. It's not Trece guac, but it's really darn good. If you want the really good food get the thai menu. The portions are as big as your car and all like $5 or some craziness. Definitely a good bet if you like thai food. If you like spicy this is one of the few restaurants in Dallas that will go the extra mile for you. They offer 1 to 5. Ask for the thai 5. Assure them that though you may not be asian you can handle it. Zenna is one of the few places in the metroplex I can actually get great service every single time. They have a bunch of younger kids staffing the place who are very courteous, responsive, and pleasant. When someone has a birthday this all changes and you want to fire the lot of them. They need desperately to abolish this practice. I don't recall being in Zenna when that stupid procession didn't happen at least twice. As annoying as it is, it gives you a great talking point, so when it happens you stop your conversation, and when it ends you start again. It's like something out of a movie, it's kind of funny. I think a lot of people walk into Zenna expecting awesome food because they hear their friends who are so passionate about it. Then the reality hits and you find yourself puzzled. What you to have to do is change your context for the place. This isn't serious dinner business. This is the culinary equivalent of a frat party. If you just go in looking for fun you will find yourself much more open to the cuisine and atmosphere. Then you, too, will find this place as one of your top go-to spots.

Had a craving for curry and was very satisfied with my order of Thai Yellow Curry. Can't wait to try out some more dishes on the menu!

Why can't we have more places like Zenna? This is a hybrid Thai/Sushi place that is actually fairly classy. The decor is contemporary and neat, they've got a good-sized bar and spacious booths and tables, too. Listen to this: they are OPEN until 3am every single day! Holy crap! Did you hear me? Go to this place after-hours for a sushi fix. The food is a solid and dependable good. It isn't outstanding, necessarily, but the nigiri sushi and rolls I had were just fine. And how about the price tag. Let me tell you: I had a Manhattan to drink, the Sushi Special C and a Spicy Salmon Roll. My total bill was $23. The roll was 8 pieces and the special had about 8 or so nigiri. This is a great place. Good vibe, nice atmosphere, definitely decent prices, nice people running it, fun patronage. They win the kharma contest. Me rikey! (sorry, was that offensive?)

This place used to be pretty good, but the quality has been declining this year. I'm pretty sure they're serving instant ramen noodles in some dishes now. The quality is worse when you order delivery and the later it is the worse the food is. They put shrimp into dishes with the tails on. So you have to stop and pull the tail off before you can eat it, getting food on your fingers in the process.

I've been to Thai-Vietnamese fusion places before, but Thai-Japanese fusion??? Their flavors don't even go togeths! So it's a good thing they don't try to mix Thai with Japanese flavors. There are separate menus--Thai and Japanese. The Japanese menu is pretty much just rolls. I had organized a group of about 24, and they were very accommodating!! Brava to Zenna on that, cuz I'm sure it wasn't easy! We were celebrating two birthdays, and they brought out a Chinese dragon and even sounded a gong. Lmao. Who do they think they're fooling? This place is pretty confused when it comes to Asian cultures. The food was pretty good, I can't complain there! I ordered a curry (can't remember which one), asked for it to be very spicy and got just that. I believe the entire group felt very satisfied and happy. Good job, Zenna!

Watch out for bugs!!!! This was our favorite place- But after my 13 year old daughter found a ROACH in her food.. That the manager did nothing about... .That's right he initially wasn't going to even comp her meal! We won't be going back. So disappointed in handling and obvious short cuts in the kitchen.

This place is known for its happy hour, and rightly so - the prices are very good. The food, however, is pretty mediocre, and often times just plain bad. I wouldn't recommend eating anything that isn't on the happy hour menu.

oh lord where to begin. Zenna's is a...pretty damn good business. Although there food, compared to other asian restaraunts are pretty damn subpar *think of it as like iono, ordering pizza and pasta from a olive garden, or goin to a humble fugetabout it italian place with charm which this area btw doesnt have enough of those*, all the otehr benefits are great. This place is the ultimate bring a group of friends and pig out place. Its asian food of all breeds, specializin in thai and japanese, they got hints of korean, chinese, ?lamb chops what the hell? and even some indian ish thrown in for good measure. Go durin happy hour, where everything is ridiculously cheap, especially booze. drinkin alcohol at restaraunts is a bad investment honestly. for a drink tab you can buy a bunch of malt liquor and nyquil and have a party between you and your dubstep music dancing aroudn the room wearing koala bear costumes chewing on glowsticks liek its some elixer of life, but the happy hour prices on food and booze are a great deal. I personally like going with a few friends, getting a bunch of appetizers which are basically the asian equivalent of munchy food, and drinkin booze liek its goin out of style, throwing my water away because it doesnt have enough alcohol in it. I recommend the thai basil wraps, or the heaven beef, deep fried beefy goodness with some kind of regret it in the mornin sriracha sauce. come to think of it i htink its just sriracha sauce. Samosas are decent as well, but if you want awesome samosas check out the indian grocery bhatia mart on coit and parker next to the cici's and scuba store. Sushi here im not gonna lie, is of questianable quality. the great man god that is anthony bourdain even said in his memoir kitchen confidential, not to order discount seafood or sushi. but with the prices you really cant go wrong. It's basically grocery store quality sushi, maybe a tad bit better, but at salvation army prices. i almost feel like im conning the establishment. i don;t remember prices *because its 3:30 in the afternoon after work and im gettin drunk* but essentially its like a buy 1 get 2 free. you can go to a fancy lil quant japanese place and get awesome sushi where they con you, but thats for anniversaries and business meetings, this is boys night out, so eat up man. So basically, even though the food here isnt the greatest, its pretty much a mecca for asiaphiles and explorers. this is a GREAT place to introduce someone to the world of asian cuisine, because the reasonable prices and country spannin' cuisine allows you to mix and match and sample the orient. Oh yea, there open till frikken 3:00 am, so when you get munchies and don;t want cheetos or QT taquitos, this place is it. Oh yea, and their waitresses are consistantly gorgeous.

5stars for food, have to deduct a little for service/parking. You have to circle the restaurant 3 times to find parking, & it's never full inside! Other than that you can feel a little forgotten sometimes by staff, but food is delish! Great sushi & Thai food. Open very late, and nice chill out patio if you want late night nosh outdoors!

Had excellent delivery today at noon. Food always arrives hot, beverages cold. I order delivery a lot and the hostesses are always friendly and the delivery drivers even more so. Love this place! Excellent pineapple curry, papaya salad, and crunchy sushi roll. If you haven't tried the Thai ice tea you should!

Discussion at a "Thai" restaurant in North Dallas: Roxanna: "I'd like Pad Thai w Chicken" waiter: "Have you had Pad Thai before?" Rox: "Yes." waiter: "Oh. Have you had Pad Thai here before?" Rox: "Uh...no...?" waiter: "Well, ours is kind of sweet...do you like that?" Rox: starting to worry and thinking...I probably would like best the way the street vendors make it in Bangkok...but would settle for just close to authentic "Um, I have several Thai friends...I just like it normal not too sweet." waiter: "Some people say ours is really sweet..." Rox: "Maybe ask for a bit more spicy than sweet...?.?.?" waiter: to husband "And you, sir?" Husband: "I'll have the Pad Prik King..." waiter: looks confused..."uh..." Husband: "The E-8" waiter: "Oh! The spicy string beans...yeah, I don't know the Thai names..." He starts to walk away... Husband: "Uh...with beef..." We exchange looks...outlook not good. So, I know it was a bit silly to expect anything near authentic Thai at this "Thai & Japanese" restaurant, but I had some tips that indicated otherwise. I admit - my Thai standard is high...but the taste on our two dishes fell pretty short of our preference. The Pad Thai was very boring - I'm quite sure there wasn't a drop of fish sauce in the recipe. This rendition was a bit like Teriyaki chicken with noodles - spiced up with crushed red pepper after my discussion with the waiter. It was absolutely edible, but I've absolutely had better. Hubby's Pad Prik King fared better - but it wasn't rich with that red curry flavor we crave. So, basically - 2 stars based on the food. Perhaps our perspective could be upgraded by the fact that this place is apparently open late til 3am and the rumored great happy hour specials - but we didn't partake of any of that fun on this visit...We were quite entertained by some large ROWDY parties celebrating birthdays...and our jaws nearly hit the table when employees donned a Chinese dragon costume and danced to the birthday table clapping, playing cymbals and drums. Wow...it left the effect of a sort of Asian Showbiz Pizza - complete with alcohol for adults.

This restaurant has a Thai / Japanese variety. Great food and alcohol prices during happy hour 3-7 daily... They have a ginormous 3L beer bong for $9 at happy hour... The food was pretty tasty. I had a variety of sushi and a bento box. Their Sweet Basil Thai Chicken was delicious.. The salad that comes in the bento box has peanut dressing - a bit overpowering - but if you like peanuts you're in luck. AND!!! they deliver!!! found my new take out restaurant too! We wanted the fried ice cream for desert, heard it was good, unfortunately, the chefs didnt prep any for the night before... Instead we have the fried bananas with a scoop of ice cream... i hope the friend ice cream is better than the friend bananas... :(

Had some sushi rolls and the fried tulip dumplings. Spicy Tuna was okay, not really spicy enough for my taste though they sprinkled some red powdered something or other to increase the spiciness. Eel Roll was interesting, had a different take on the standard eel sauce, as it was much lighter in color and sweeter. Tulip dumplings were good, standard dipping sauce, but a little on the small side (25 cent bouncy ball sized). Super dark lighting in the booth by the window, the ceiling light was pointed at the outer seats, so it was a little hard to read the menu. I've had better for about the same price, but their happy hour specials look really great, so I'll have to try those next time.

Lesia C.
This is a good place and for a variety of reasons. Food is good. Not the best sushi in the world but coming at the daily 3-7 Happy Hour makes you a little more forgiving. However, the lunch bento box specials are really good. Pad Thai is good also. I am giving this place 4 stars just because it is so easy to come here and really enjoy yourself. Also...ask for the server named Lyn...she never fails to impress

The wife and I came here for a late evening thai/dinner. We always struggle to find food outside of denny's/fast food late at night so Zenna fit the bill. Asian food, open til 3am everyday? You get major points for that. The inside was nicer than expected but resembled more of a nightclub than a restaurant (perhaps because of the strobe lights and loud hip hop music?). At first the menu seemed big but it was more cluttered than anything. We were hesitant to try too much sushi but did order a roll and a a tuna appetizer. They both came out average, but fresh. I had a spicy noodle dish and the wife had the spicy noodle soup. Outside of Osha in SF, she hasn't found a place that served up spicy tom yum soup that is edible. They actually had it right here. All in all, the food is ok but we like it because they are open until 3 am.

Zenna has an AWESOME happy hour! It's every single day from 3PM-7PM, and this is really the only time I recommend going. You just can't go wrong with paying $3 and under per sushi roll. The quality is decent, not exceptional, but like I said, under $3 per roll. The service is hit or miss during happy hour (and by hit or miss, I mean miss or super miss), but you can't really expect much when you consider what the server's [don't] make during this time. Opening your ticket to find that you spent less than $10 on sushi for dinner will make you feel better about the slow service.

Interior, dark and moody. Food, average and unremarkable. I'm not sure what all the hoopla is about. I think most of the stars are for the cheap alcohol.

Molly K.
Great happy hour! And here's the best part.... it's seven days a week happy hour. They have very cheap beer prices during the time as well as some awesome martinis. Also they are open to really late so if you have a midnight sushi craving you can fulfil it! The lunches are also awesome with their very affordable bento boxes. I think my favorites are the soups and the serve yourself beer tap at the table. Great place!!!

Good food, great spring rolls, very pleasant atmosphere, great late night hours, great wait staff. But what I really miss about this place is the Tom Ka Kai (coconut) soup. God. I no longer live in Texas and have tried Tom Ka at several other places, and all have fallen short of the high standard set by Zenna.

I've been to Zenna a few times now and have been pleased on each visit. First, I appreciate that they are open late - in Plano, that's a huge plus! Second, the service is friendly and accommodating. While I have noticed service can be slow, that doesn't bother me much in a small independent restaurant. To the food: The lamb chops are delicious - and cheap! They're listed as an appetizer but are really a small meal. They have the best peanut chicken I've ever tasted. The kee mow was good. The Heaven Beef was odd at first sight, but after a few bites became an unexpected hit. One complaint - each time they haven't had mango for their mango and sticky rice! The waitress said they haven't had mango for several months...then take it off the menu! Sometimes I think I might stop at the grocery store and bring my own mango...

THE GOOD - Happy Hour can't be beat. $1 12oz beers, rolls under $5 and nigiri for a dollar a piece. - Calm atmosphere, friendly staff, open til 3am every day. - Restaurant is usually clean and respectable. - Large portions of most entrees and the Tom Kha Gai soup is quite good. Thai curries and cuisines are tasty and abundant. THE BAD - Delivery is quoted at 45 minutes from Zenna to my house. I've never had a delivery arrive in under an hour and a half (even between 2-4pm on a Monday). - The staff, though personable, takes their sweet time to do their job. I usually have to wait 5-10 minutes for someone to greet me in their section with two other tables on a slow lunch. I don't know if this is a miscommunication between the host and the waiter or a lack of attention/laziness on the waiter's part, but it's a consistent trend. THE BOTTOM LINE - Service will usually be better during nights, and sometimes you'll see managers picking up the slack with food ordering/running, pre-bussing, etc. - I wouldn't recommend delivery, as they don't specialize in it and you'll probably end up waiting at least twice the quoted time for your food. - Overall, while there is better quality food and service out in Dallas, for the Happy Hour prices and convenience of location, it's not a bad spot to hang out. 6/10 Dining Experience

I was apprehensive about trying Zenna because my crazy, old Thai mother was appalled at the idea of a restaurant that boasted Thai *AND* Japanese cuisine. All that has changed since our first visit. Since then, this is one of her favorite spots for big bowls of noodle soup and Thai tea. I enjoy their papaya salad although at times it is a bit bland. I am sure the taste varies on who is cooking that day. Their garlic and black pepper chicken wings and garlic pork ribs are perfect for a light snack - especially after midnight! The Pad Prik King is fantastic! You sure get a HUGE portion, too. If you enjoy Vietnamese Pho, give their Spicy Ground Pork Boat Noodles a try. You get a HUGE bowl of this decadent and delicious broth that you could probably swim in. I always order this soup with sen mee (very thin rice noodles). This soup is perfect for lunch no matter what the weather and is all kinds of win. My husband enjoys sushi and I am a Thai food addict, so this is the perfect place for us. The prices are so incredibly reasonable when you consider not only the quality but the quantity of food you are getting. Is this the best sushi in town? No. But it's pretty good all things considered. The best thing about Zenna, other than the amazing bowl of delicious win soup, is that it's open until 3am every night. Secret Squirrel note: If you enjoy authentic Thai food, ask for their Thai menu when you are seated. Many of the dishes offered are not on their main menu. It is written in both Thai and English. Don't miss out on the super (not so) secret good stuff!

My first time here was during happy hour with my cousin. The service was nice & so were the waiters. Since it was happy hour most of the sushi was one dollar each, so my friend & I decided to get one of everything & try all their flavored sakes. That my friends was a very nice way to end the day.. My second time here I was just having lunch date. it was then I realized how the interior was decorated. it reminded me of what an Asian fusion night club would look like. Some of the decor was really nice, but then some was just too overbearing which made it tacky to me.. but don't get me wrong the food was pretty good. This day I had the Tom-kha Kal (coconut soup) & the drunken noodle that comes in a bento box. The portions were just about perfect. Not too much & then my noodles came with a summer roll, salad, soya beans, & soup. No one at my booth could finish their lunch! So I would say that's a deal!

I just got off work and it was almost midnight and a co-worker suggested Zenna's because it was open until 3 a.m. EVERYDAY. Can't get any better than that right? Well we walked inside and the bar was right next to the door. It has a FULL out bar just like the ones you see at the club. Not too fancy, yet had a very sophisticated look. Since it was late, we didn't have to wait long before we got seated. & the whole time, I was admiring the place. The music that was playing was R&B and hip hop. Which I didn't expect to be played at a place like this. but I LOVED it. The place looked fancy but the music just made it look very fun and casual. Their sushi is OKAY. But I would recommend the main entree's (pad se eww, pad tai, etc.) My server was Eve, and she had that asian accent so I was expecting half-ass service (Not to be racist, I'm asian too!) but it wasn't the case for us. She was very polite and well mannered and always had a smile on her face! Overall, I absolutely LOVED the environment, wait staff, and the food was delish! :) I will definitely be coming back with a couple of my friends! Perfect if your looking for a fun and semi-casual date!

Zenna is a happening place at 2 a.m., especially when it's your birthday! (They close at 3 a.m.) Mmm sushi. I'm salivating just thinking about it. I'm a fan of caterpillar and spider rolls and they're both good here. I would also recommend the chicken vegetable soup and edamame. Our waitress was very nice and attentive and they got our meals out pretty fast. My nice friends secretly told our waitress that it was my birthday and the staff busted out with a traditional lion dance costume and a LOUD drum and paraded to our table. They danced around for a bit and plopped a plate of crispy fried banana with vanilla ice cream dessert with a candle in front of me. It was fun, and the dessert was pretty good. Although I've never seen the Thai and Japanese food combo before, their Thai dishes look pretty good, and I'll definitely have to come back and try some.

Great sushi during their happy hour. Service is great, prices are super low (during happy hour) and the rolls are really tasty! I havent had their thai food, so I can't comment on that. Their sushi however is definitely worth a visit.

So my boyfriend is a picky eater, meaning he wont eat asian, mexican or well...anything unamerican, ANYWAY... He had the sushi here and LOVED IT, so we went to dinner here on a Friday night, and it was packed, big parties, dancing lights, music, tvs on (with baseball!! :D) and it was just so ambient and festive. Then....two people had birthdays.... what does that mean to Zenna? Everything. Gongs a'ringin', people in costumes marching through the crowds of customers, bells, singing, LOUD NOISES and lots of clapping. OH MY! Maybe its my ADD but I LOVED IT!!!! Then it ended.... Sadness. And we went back to enjoying our delicious meal. Bf: Sushi, Steamed Rice, Dr. Pepper Me:Edamame, Miso Soup, Coke, Fried Banana Dessert. = YUMMMMM....and Great atmosphere... Oh I love eating there!!!

I used to love this place, but seriously, Zenna, what happened?! The quality of NOT only the food but the service as well, has dwindled over the years. My boyfriend has always disliked this place but I always defended it until the other night. I ate the yellow chicken curry and it was so disappointing. I make curry at home better than that, plus the rice it came with was over cooked and soggy. My sister had the flat noodle stir fry and my boyfriend has the pad thai; they both tasted like they've been sitting on the expo line, then reheated in the microwave minutes before being brought out to us. Our server took forever to refill our drinks, I literally had to slurp my empty cup obnoxiously to get her to even come over to our table again. I used to be a server once so I could understand if it was a busy night, but we went on a WEDNESDAY NIGHT! There was barely anyone else there. I won't ever go here and spend my money at this place again. I rather drive a little further down to NOODLE WAVE and get fresh and vibrant food than to ever eat here again. Bye Zenna, you lost me forever.

While visiting TX, we stumbled upon this place. We wanted a good happy hour and Zenna did not dissapoint. Right off the interstate, they have a pretty nice decor and I loved their happy hour menu. $2 frozen margaritas and well drinks, $3 sushi rolls, even 50 cent (6oz) beers! Horrific service. Terrible. Like laughably bad. I would say it was a one time thing but we came back at around 1:45 am the next day (they close at 3) for drinks and at 2:15 they tried to take them! Apparently the bar closes at 2, only the restaurant was open. We cashed out early and tried to enjoy our drinks only to have some one (manager maybe?) tell us the bar was closed. When we tried to move to a table he wanted to take our drink! We paid $12 for that one drink and I tipped our bartender $10 just for the inconvienence, so the rudeness was unwarranted and unnecessary. Minus 2 stars just for the staff being so off putting. Oh well, I'll still probably come back for cheap sushi, I'm easy.

This place is great! Very nice atmosphere, good service, and great food! My first time was for dinner, and I was blown away with the yellow chicken curry. Very good and tons of food. Since then I've gone quite a bit for lunch. They have a very good bento box style lunch special which is always good and very filling. I haven't disliked anything I've tried so far. They are open very late which is nice for those times you need a fix. Also have a nice bar, even though I don't take advantage of that. Anyone I've taken (that likes Thai, etc) has been back with me!

Zenna is a masterpiece! A delicious blent of Thai and Japanese, and I mean delicious! I just wish they would quit playing soppy love songs during sunday afternoons when I try to eat their bento because I feel a little odd hearing "My Endless Love" while I hang out with my best friend who is also Zenna obsessed, and also a guy. Kinda feels like I am supposed to be getting romantic or something just because I hung out for lunch. I mean, what's next? Barry White? Isaac Hayes? That aside, the drunken noodle (Pad Kee Mow) is soooo awesome, I like it as spicy as it can be made! First off the ingredients they use are awesome for the immune system, it has red bell pepper and onion to start with. Also I can't do without the Gyoza (aka Pot Stickers), I found I prefer them steamed there. Their sweet soy dipping sauce is out of this world, and the little pieces of onion on them are amazing garnish to an already flawless Gyoza. Being a Japanese culture freak, I truly admire this and I am picky about Gyoza.. very much so. Their Yakitori chicken is awesome, it has this sweet glaze on the skewered grilled chicken and you dip it into this spice mixture they have there. The sushi they have is okay, not my favorite, but their curries, dumplings, sake bombs and other alcohol specials more than make up for it. I truly adore Zenna, from the amazing atmosphere, to the awesome food, to the beautiful girls they have working there (sorry I had to mention it), and the drinking doesn't get better... they even have this huge beer dispenser you can get for your table.. it rocks.. a little pricey though when they also have 50 cent mini beers at happy hour (or used to). Zenna, I just wanna say... change your music, people go there for a cultural experience, not to hear that lame 70s love music. Go play some JPOP and Thai music. Keep up the awesome work, try to get the sushi a tiny bit better. In spite of that, I am so addicted to your restaurant that I give it 5 stars, it is my favorite restaurant.

This place is one of my favorite places to eat. Their Pad See Ew and various curry dishes are simply amazing and the best I've eaten in Dallas, and I've eaten at quite a few Thai places. The sushi is decent. Its not spectacular, but its not bad either. But then again, I have a high standard for sushi so my opinion is a little biased to a high set California standard. Ive never had a problem with service here. I have always been promptly seated and politely served. As for as the atmosphere goes it is pretty mellow. Ive never been here during happy hour so I can't comment on it. It is nice that the place is open late till 3am, as I have some vague memories of late night drunk adventures here.

Fun place to drink and have some appetizers. We like to sit on the patio and at the bar. They serve food til 3am, which is convenient. They also deliver. What we always get: Heavens beef, tom kha gai soup, spring rolls (fried and fresh), and we like to get salmon and tuna nigiri. They also have a secret menu or very authentic thai food. Just ask your waiter or bartender!

I would rate this place 3 stars or even 4 if it wasn't for the awful service. I'm a server myself, so I know how hectic it can get, but when it's obviously slow with 3 tables in the whole restaurant I at least expect good service. The only reason why I go back to this place is because I enjoy the food so much plus the late hours if I'm having a late asian food craving. I recommend that this place start training their employee staff better, seeing as maybe I've only had okay service about 3 or 4 times the whole 2 years I've been coming here. The servers I've had have been rude, unprofessional, and seem to have no knowledge of the menu, one server didn't even know what spicy mayo was which was shocking seeing as they serve sushi there. The hosts are unattentive as well, I waited 10 minutes before being sat only to find out she was back there the whole time talking. All in all, the food is what makes the restaurant, if it weren't for that I would NEVER come back here again.

Went to Zenna late one night (~ 11 PM) for some late-late dinner. It was 4 of us. We probably waited around 15 minutes in the lobby before anyone even noticed us. I knew we were in for a LONG night. The food actually wasn't too terrible. If I was rating Zenna soled based on food, I'd give 3 stars. The menu was extensive and everything we ordered tasted okay. The service was one of the worst, if not the WORST I've ever experienced. Upon waiting 15 minutes to be seated, it took quite a while before a waiter headed to our table. After he took our order, again, it took forever for the food to come out. Not only that, 2 of the dishes never came out. And we had to ask the waiter a number of times to check on the missing dishes. The roll and the sashmi salad came out about 45-60 minutes into our meal. We were offered no apologies or explanation. I also asked for more hot water in my teapot for the tea. The waiter took the teapot but never returned with the teapot. We tried to wave the waiter for our check and it was like finding a needle in a haystack. Even when we finally were given the check it took another 15 minutes before he returned to take our payment. I may go back if I get the late-late night munchies.......WHY IS THERE NOT A DECENT PLACE TO EAT IN PLANO AFTER 10 PM? If I do return and the service sucks again, I will definitely voice my opinion this time around.

Huge cockroach crawling near my head on the booth. Once I alerted the staff, they just tried to kill it. I guess I looked shocked because after a minute they asked if we wanted to move to another table. No thanks. Appetite ruined and we left. Haven't been back since.

I've been on a sushi kick lately so I booked it back over to Zenna's since they're one of the few sushi joints actually open during the day! C'mon people. Some folks want that sushi goodness in the afternoon! In any case, here's the lowdown on what we ordered: 1 LA roll - mmmmmmmmm to infinity and beyond (though Sushi Rock and Teppo do it better) 1 spicy tuna roll - you just can't go wrong there 1 shrimp tempura roll - tasty but Teppo still holds my heart 1 crunchy roll - it was okay to try, but it wasn't worth the $10.75 And the extra goodness you get for going to Zenna during the day: Coconut soup on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. Whew, had I known about the soup before we ordered, I would have asked for a pot of that stuff. It was scrumptiliumptious! I'll definitely be back on another Saturday for lunch ;) Oh yeah, and their waitstaff still takes their sweet time so if you're absolutely starving, hit the Mickey-Ds, otherwise you're gonna be unhappy.

Happy Hours are great here but even the items on the menu are still pretty cheap for sushi! This place never disappoints but I will definitely say get there early if you ever do Happy Hour. Parking sucks and they definitely need a bigger one. I had to park across the street at the Bank of America parking lot like everyone else.

First off, the service was superb. The place was extremely crowded, so I was expecting a long wait, but our food came out in no more than 10 minutes, and the waiter was very friendly. I did enjoy the atmosphere, and saw no problem with the Thai/Japanese fusion aspect. I had the Thai tea, which was without a doubt the best I have ever had, and the Pad Kee Mow (Drunken Noodles). Delicious! The spice level was just right, the veggies scrumptious, and the tofu great, if a tad undercooked. We also tried the yellow curry. It was perfect, again some of the best I have had, and we scraped the plate clean. The sticky rice made an ideal dessert - not too much, not too sweet, just perfect and delicious. I will definitely be back.

I agree with most reviewers that the drink specials are great. It is wonderful that they are open so early in the day and late at night... but I want good sushi! The home-made mayonnaise on the volcano roll was not tasty. The salad was mostly iceberg with too much dressing. There were only four tables there at the same time as us. There were many servers in the restaurant, we just couldn't seem to get any service without flagging them down on their way to and from the sushi bar. All in all, if you are going out for a drink for happy hour, this is a place to pass the time, just avoid the food.

I've been here 3 times and absolutely love both, the drinks and the food. Peanut chicken and Pineapple Curry are my personal favorites. You may also want to try the Basil Chicken Wraps appetizer. We got good service every time we went, so I'm kind of surprised to see people complaining about bad service. This is definitely one of my favorite places. The fact that it's open till 3 am unlike most Dallas restaurants is a huge plus.

This is the absolutely the worst place I have ever been too. The service is terrible and the food Is even worst. I ordered a cup of coconut soup and stir fry Chinese brocolli with crispy pork while my two other friends order shrimp tempura, California roll, chicken basil wrap each and they finish thier food before I even got my soup after waiting almost 45 min. This was my third time at this establishment and every time has been the worst. The first two time I got sick after eating thier sushi. I have never been the one to complain or even write a review but this by far is the WORST place and thier food sucks!!!!!!! I give thai place a negative!!!!!

Food is pretty good, they have some amazing rolls, and their prices are good. Happy hour is great! 3-7 every day with super cheap drinks, sushi, and appetizers. Also they deliver until 3am and their delivery is always prompt!

Zenna is definitely the spot if you love 'cheap' sushi. The quality is legit compared to the price. Happy hour is from 3-7. Rolls were under $4 and the appetizers on the menu were under $5. The Shrimp Tempura Roll is THE BEST. The Tuna Roll is a toss up. It's either really good or really bad. California Rolls are OK. I did try the Seagull Roll from the full price menu and it is one of the tastiest, BEST rolls i've ever tried. The combination of tempura shrimp, crab, and cream cheese was to die for. The thought of the roll makes me licks my lips. The service is usually really fast and efficent. Everyone that works there is really friendly, and it's always pretty busy because it's such an awesome place to hang out. But the past 2 or 3 times i've gone, the restaurant wasn't busy at all and the service was TERRIBLE. But I love Zenna to much to let a couple times effect me going. It's my spot and I definitely go as much as possible. You can get a good 4 rolls and a drink for $15. I LOVE it. :-)

Great food! The coconut soup served with their lunch was new to me and it was great. I've never been a big fan of sushi, but this place has me rethinking my ways. Never a big crowd at lunch and a great place to get away from work for an hour or so.

Completely awful. A mix of thai/japanese. At lunch it was hard to order a dish that wasn't half thai and half japanese which don't go together. Doesn't matter - each tasted bad.

I ate here recently for lunch after having stayed away for a couple of years. The food just isn't worth the wait. I had hoped they would work out their service issues, but they haven't. After ordering, I got my water, then sat there for at least 15 minutes before they brought out the soup that comes with the bento box. C'mon people, it's soup. It's already cooked. A waitress only need ladle some into a tiny bowl and sprinkle it with cilantro (yech.) After that, it was another 20 minutes before the rest came out. They are always busy at lunch, it's not like this is a surprise to them, but they just can't get it done. If you don't mind spending 90 minutes for lunch, most of which will be spent waiting, this place is okay.

I think the food is average. It's cheap on happy hour. But the nigiri is decent price for happy hour. Ive had 2 nigiris for two bucks at sushi bars. This place charges 5 bucks for two, but happy hour is half price. Good place if you want a quick fix.

I've driven by this place hundreds of times, especially since I lived in Allen for two years. I've heard about it forever and how they were open until 3am. But I never actually stopped. Today, my normal lunch partner was stuck in an 11am-1pm lunch meeting so I was on my own. I usually try to go eat stuff that I know she doesn't like when I'm on my own. Stuff like Thai, Indian and Seafood. So, I decided today was the day I was going to try Zenna. In all honesty, I just wasn't that impressed. I mean it was edible... it wasn't horrible... but I've had much better Thai, and Sushi around town. I started out with Thai Tea and it was very good. I even toyed with the idea of getting a second one "to go". The Tom-Kha Kai soup they brought out before I even ordered was delicious... and I was starting to get high hopes, but it is from here that things started going down hill. I ordered Pineapple Chicken Curry as a meal, hoping for leftovers for dinner tonight, and to ensure leftovers I also ordered a Shrimp Tempura Roll. The Shrimp Tempura roll was delivered to my table first and eh it was just all right. This roll had way too much Nori, with a layer in the middle and another on top. Then instead of an entree portion of Pineapple Chicken Curry, I was brought a Bento Box that included a spring roll, salad (which was a waste because it's iceberg lettuce which I am allergic to), two pieces of California Roll, steamed rice, and the curry. The California Roll had a very weird texture that almost felt like I was chewing on something fuzzy. The spring roll was good. Pineapple Curry sauce had a good flavor, but the chicken had a very gummy texture and I ended up just picking out the pieces of pineapple to eat with the sauce and the rice. This place is open from 11am - 3am and will deliver within a 5 mile radius (with minimum $ order). My office is within the 5 mile radius, which could be a thought someday if the weather is really really nasty. But if I'm getting out and driving for lunch... there are much better places in the area for both Thai food and Sushi.

I had to travel to Dallas this week for a business trip. I roll into DFW, find my way to the hotel and I'm starving for some good food. Fortunately Zenna is close by so I order up some yellow curry chicken and seafood with some steamed rice and a side of yellowtail sushi. The sushi was really fresh and the wasabi had a real kick to it - just the way I like it. The curry was out of this world. Hot but not lethal and a wonderful hint of coconut flavor to it. Generous portions of chicken and shrimp/squid/lobster. Plain white rice is a beautiful thing when it's done right and they did it right. Light and fluffy, not sticky. A perfect compliment to the spicy flavors of the curry. Great Thai food - not to be missed.

Celebrated a friends birthday here for the first time and definitely the last. We got a brand new waiter for a table of 14 who re-entered our orders after happy hour ended and made us pay full price, brought out the food almost 2 hours later and forgot the birthday girls order. The manager didnt seem to be very apologetic when we complained and offered us free appetizers for the incredible wait instead of discounting our food and letting us leave. We finally left after 3 1/2 hours. Management should have put more people on our table or had someone help the new guy. You just ruined the reputation of this restaurant for 14 people and everyone we know. Good riddance, terrible Thai.

I've been here when it was okay a couple times but the last time I went, I was sorely disappointed. Please don't waste your time or money here when there are much better places to go like Noodlewave. (Or anywhere else for that matter) The food was terrible, small proportions, and there was horrible service even though it was only around 11 and not that busy! When we were seated, the waiter took a while to come over so we were more than ready to order. I got my usual-chicken Pad Thai. Decided I was craving a California roll and got that as well. My boyfriend got the teriyaki chicken and beef plus the yakitori chicken appetizer. My California roll was terrible, almost no rice and the texture of the imitation crab was practically mashed potato-like. I didn't know it would be imitation crab, and when I mentioned it to the waiter, he agreed with me and said it was bad. The pad thai had almost no bean sprouts or green onions in it, and those make a big difference to me. The teriyaki chicken/beef portion was tiny. It looked like it belonged on a kids menu. The sauce on this dish resembled the consistency of soy sauce...definitely not the thicker consistency of teriyaki sauce. It came with a side of fried rice...which was a complete joke. This fried rice resembled steamed rice that was pushed around in a pan with some soy sauce for 5 seconds. Needless to say, we didn't finish that. The only good thing that came from this meal was the yakatori chicken, which is pretty sad. I heard this restaurant went under new management recently. Maybe that's why the quality changed so drastically between my visits. I won't be coming back.

Love this place! Everything on the menu at Zenna is guaranteed to be delicious. Can add spicy levels if needed. The drunken noodles are amazing! Also, the food comes out relatively fast. It is great, because Zenna is open till 3 am, and its hard to find good quality food in the late hours, especially being a college student who stays up to study or goes out with her friends sometimes.

They loose a point bcuz we stood at the front waiting to be seated for no joke 8 minutes! People in front of us left bc they were standing there when we walked in. And point bc the silverware was dirty as was the water glass they brought... food was pretty good, cheap so good value for what it was. Ordered the Bento box, chicken spicy green beans. But it wasn't spicy so I'd ask them to up the chilies next time. And less dressing on that little salad that comes with it... was sweet and drowning in it.. soup of yhe day was vegetable. Tasted like tomato sour slightly spicy broth... nothing to want again... if I were in that area, I'd visit again if craving cheap food.

The food is good but I have to give it a 0 star. I order delivery from here a lot, usually 85% they mess up the order(usually small problem) but today it's the worst of all. I got the order not only was the food barely warm(took an hour an a half to receive even know they said 45min to an hour) they left an order out. They could not even have someone to fix the problem but instead said we have to wait for the manager to come back(he wasn't in) to fix this. So I waited, the missing order arrived(2 hours and 15 min since order was placed), guess what it's the wrong order. I called back and finally got to talk to the manager, of course because their restaurant is so busy and making so much money, he doesn't care to say sorry or apologize, way to run a restaurant. I hope the owner read this because he got to visit his restaurant and check up. I know he's busy with the new restaurant next door but he needs to know what kind of people is "helping" him run his restaurant. Just an update the manager is also a liar, he told me he would personally bring me a refund but it wasn't him.

Lately I have received really crappy service at this location. Today the hostess quickly sped off to seat us. Although we had quite a few more steps to get to our table, the hostess placed the menus on the table and walked off. How rude! Our waiter, Hieu, did not have a clue and seemed really distracted placing our orders. My husband had to wait 10mins after son & I received our food before he got his. Once my husband received his food, it was only a portion of his order. Does it really take that long for spring rolls? My husband had to approach Hieu in order to get our check as it was taking him entirely too long. We will start going to the Rosemeade location as this is our second consecutive time experiencing bad service. We noticed another couple waiting on their check for a long time with another waiter. The bad thing is, it was not crowded while we were there.

I am shocked to see this place has anything less than 4 stars!!!! I am assuming people love this place cos everytime I go there the parking lot of full...its impossible to get a spot on Friday evening without a min of an hour wait, which sucks...cos I have stopped trying to go there on a Friday evening....nevertheless I love this place, they have great food, delicious drinks, and the best thing is that they are open late night...we always head out late night and love that this place is open then....my favorite dishes on their menu is the large bowl of soup, california roll and pad kee mow...m husband experiments more with their menu, orders a different dish each time and he has never ordered something he didn't like....they have a pretty extensive menu and that's another thing we like about the place...

I give this 2 stars based on service. The waiters/food take FOREVER. If you're looking to get in and out, please don't come here. They've finally cleaned up the building a little (3 times, we were placed at a table with a leaky ceiling overhead - they just put a towel on the table and told us to watch out for it - !!!). When you walk in, the hosts will finish up whatever conversation they're having before getting around to you. Give the waiters a good while to come over, then forever to come back. Having said that, I do enjoy the miso soup and their heaven beef. The gyoza needs a little work. The sushi is acceptable, and their main dishes are pretty good. Happy hour is awesome, as far as pricing. Their frilly drinks can go either way on taste, but they've got good deals on beer. I also really like their decor. All in all, the food is ok, the service sucks, the parking is horrendous, the happy hour is good. I'd have bumped this to 3 stars, but I just can't get over the hosts spending another minute on flirting with each other (while looking at us!) before wrapping it up and greeting us.

I attended Zenna for a birthday party, and as many Yelpers mention, the food didn't come with a lot of fanfare. Most people at our table noted that they didn't come for the food, but the atmosphere. Oddly enough, I did enjoy my food. And my adorably cute waitress, Kelly, really made my evening worthwhile. I ordered some Drunken Noodles (Pad Kee Mao) with a '5' hotness. The waitress asked if I was sure, but I'm a firm believer in that if I eat Thai food, I eat it the right way, nice and hot. I really enjoyed my dish, and washed it down with some decent hot sake. Around the table, I noted that people had a mix of sushi, and Thai plates, but no one seemed to really revel in their dishes. I think they need more spice in their life. The parking was decent, and prices were quite nice. Service was really good, and overall, I found it to be a great experience.

Absolutely LOVE this place! The service is always great, the prices are reasonable, the food is fantastic - I am in love with their Shrimp Tempura Rolls. Mmmm!
Great Food, Awful Service. My husband and I first went to their location off Midway for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. There were 4 tables in the entire place, including ours, and we had no idea who our server was because at least 3 different people came to our table. We had to get up twice from our table to ask for more water because they never came by to check on us at all. We had to wait 20 minutes for them to bring the bill too. We live in Frisco, but decided to give it another go and went to the Plano location for lunch yesterday. We were there forever. It took ten minutes for a waiter to come to our table after we sat down, and when he did he spoke no English but took our order anyway without writing it down. Ten more minutes pass and a girl we haven't seen comes and asks us if we are ready to order. I told her we already had someone take it and she said, "Um, yeah just give it to me again." So we did (she wrote it down) and almost 40 minutes later our food finally came out, wrong. I ordered the bento box with pad see ew which is a sweet soy sauce. Instead they gave me noodles in a spicy sauce with peppers. I also asked if I could have the cucumber roll instead of the California roll in my box because I'm allergic to crab. Of course, it was the California roll that I got. It's a shame because they really do have good food, but we will not be returning.

This is a great place to go for happy hour or late night. The happy hour here is really affordable. You can get a piece of sushi for a dollar each and the simple rolls are only about $3-4. The drinks are so cheap as well. I love the atmosphere because it's nice inside with tons of people there during happy hour and they have it 7 days a week, from 3 pm to 6 pm. There is also Thai food if you're not in the mood for Japanese. They are open till 3 am on the weekends so it's a perfect place to go if you're hungry getting out from the bar or just to go eat. They have a cheap late night menu for Thai food if you go after 9 pm. This is a great place to go with friends during happy hour and it can be very romantic as well if you go a little later when happy hour is over.

This is a review for their Happy Hour only. DRINKS !!! Beer starts at $.50 (6oz), Margaritas start at $2 (again 6oz), all wells $2, wine $3. The drinks are nicely prepared, nothing outstanding but what you would expect. I like the Cosmopolitan for $3. FOOD !!! $1 Sushi (per piece), Rolls starting at $2 (cucumber) up to $3.50 (Philadelphia) with my personal favorites coming in at $3 for Shrimp Tempura and Spicy Tuna. What they are calling HOT TAPAS start at $3 for Edamame and go up to $5.45 for either the Heaven Beef or Garlic Pork Ribs. I like the Chicken Wings for $4.20 and Gyoza at $3.50. On their dinner menu they have a Chilean Sea Bass for $9.95 which I know a few people to get instead of the Happy Hour tastes and they were very pleased.

Last night I ordered delivery. Beware that they will charge you a ridiculous fee for delivery if you're not close. There's also a fee for ordering online - as if that doesn't make everything easier for everybody involved. I ordered yellow curry - this is where I was first introduced to it and fell in love with it. But they forgot to send any rice... So I ended up having to cook anyway, despite ordering delivery. I doubt I'll ever order delivery from here again.

Our past experiences have been great, however yesterday evening not so much. After looking for our waitress, Angie, for 30 minutes to get our bill (we had given up on ordering any more food or drinks) my husband asked the manager, Alan Ho, to find her and to explain what had happened so they could improve the service going forward. If they don't know there is a problem they can't fix it, right? The manager didn't want to hear it. At all. Threw a bill (that wasn't correct) at my husband and told him to pay it now or he was calling the cops and having him arrested. The hostess even tried to tell him that the waitress was MIA, but he wouldn't listen to her either. They really need to rethink their customer service. I will now tell everyone I know how I was treated and forward them to another restaurant instead. LA Burger has excellent food and a bar. Go there instead.

If I could give 0 stars I would. My friends sushi rolls literally looked like a spice bottle was unscrewed and dumped on her sushi. It was absolutely disgusting. When we got there we waited 5 minutes to be seated, there were plenty of tables open. It took 10-15 minutes just to get our water and to even see our server. Then we ordered Miso soup, which took another 15 minutes to get. After, right after I left I started feeling sick. I got find poisoning right after eating there. Do not eat there. Absolutely awful. Never going back.

So many better places in Plano that you can get sushi. I have had this only because I wanted sushi late at night and it was the only thing open or else I would've chosen a better place. I try different places every weekend and if you think this is good sushi then it must be the only place you have gone. It's overpriced for the quality of food that they offer. Only good thing is that it is open late.

Rick D.
This place is hit or miss. Normally busy at night where they are open late. It's normally a miss during lunch, wait staff terrible and food is not as good as the evening. At night it's much better. Hostesses always seem a bit rude. My wife and I have been coming here for about 4 years and its gone down a bit in the past 2. Great place to stop if your heading to Costco. Over all a 3 or 4, definitely not a 5 as I've probably been here 40 or so times, but I do keep coming back!

We were skeptical as we entered Zenna because it was a little early for lunch, and the whole place overwhelmingly smelled like cleaning products (and not food), and there were only a couple of other people inside. Our server didn't make a good first impression, either. She didn't greet us, instead she just walked up and asked if we knew what we wanted yet. When my coworker answered that he needed a minute, she walked away and we had to call out our drink orders to her. Drinks that she never refilled, btw. But the food was very pleasantly surprising. I played it safe, as I tend to do, and ordered the chicken teriyaki bento box. The lunch soup that comes with it was very unique and very delicious! Sweet and spicy and very flavorful -- I've never had anything like it! My food was delicious and fresh. My coworker likes spicy, so he ordered a curry, extra spicy. He said it was delicious, and he cleaned his plate. Before we left, we noticed that the place had filled up, including two huge groups and several individuals eating at the bar. Looks like Zenna can accommodate both extremes. The peanut-ginger salad dressing was another delicious surprise. I think I'll try the peanut sauce bento box next time, because there will be a next time! I think Zenna is going into the lunch rotation when I work in our Plano office!

I love Thai and Japanese food in one place. Over the years I always had mix feelings about this place but it is a hip place to be because of their drink specials and the atmosphere and I haven't been here since my sister was here. It was so crowded when I walked in but my son was napping so I didn't mind waiting, once they called my name I walked up but the hostess and her supervisor was in a deep conversation and just walked away and I looked behind me like wtf? And even other guest was confused why they walked away, no greeting of hi, I'll take you to your table. That impression left me, oh shit, this is the start of a worse dining service for the evening. The hostess and supervisor realize I wasn't following them and the hostess walked back and apologized because I was like wtf. Luckily as soon as the server greets me he brings me a glass of water with lemons. I already knew what I wanted by looking up the menu on my phone while waiting. Ok, this place is crowded and I just need to say they had awesome team work, someone was filling up my water, taking away a dirty plate, my food came out perfectly nice and hot. The servers and the chefs were on point! It was on point for an Asian restaurant because we all know Asian places are not so great lol but this was super great tonight, it definitely makes me want to return more often. Thank you!

They have Thai boat noodle and I loveeeee it! My boyfriend always gets the BBQ pork plate and we are always satisfied! The only thing I can say I don't like on the menu is the crab Rangoon dip... First time I had it as a dip and it was kind of watery.. There's so much on the menu but I'm the type that orders the same thing every time I go somewhere and I am happy to say there's a place I can get my noodle fix close by

My experience with this place has been good for the six times I'd been. The food is good, but the portions aren't large. For the price, sushi is good. I do recommend the "Drunken Noodles" for first timers. The do have specials like almost every day, so depending on the time, you can get a deal.

Back for lunch again today and just can't say enough about their awesome food! Yellow and Pineapple curries were absolutely delicious. And, love the Bento-box style.... with a good portion of the star - the curry - with sticky rice, salad with peanut sauce, two California rolls, one summer roll, and ginger delicious vegetable soup! Yummie..... can't wait to return. They have a really nice bar too and we noticed they are open until 3 AM. Hmmmm. Best Thai in DFW.

I love this place. My spot to go after a night out. Open until 3. Shrimp thai lo mein & sushi is great. Did not receive 5 stars because 5/10 of the time they do not answer their phone when calling to place an order for delivery.

Great food. One order of fried rice is enough for 2 people with leftovers. Go between 3 and 7 for happy hour, they have cheap Philadelphia rolls, spicy tuna rolls, and their spring rolls (the best I've ever had). We were seated on the tables kind of in the middle which seemed a little compact but for the quality of food and great prices you can't beat it. The Rosemeade location was way more open with a nicer ambiance.

Tried this place for the first time this weekend- I was really looking forward to some sushi. I heard the happy hour was great (and cheap!) here, so that is partly why I wanted to go in the first place. In any case, the service was good, the food was good and the drinks were good. Nothing stood out as "GREAT!" but that is ok. I would only go back if I didn't want to travel to far.

This has been my happy hour spot for 5 years! The atmosphere is always awesome! Bartenders are great! Heaven beef is a must! The spicy tuna roll has this spicy seasoning not a sauce! Yum!!! This is a great place to go on a date because the low light makes for a sexy experience or go with your crew and get cheap drinks & eat great appetizers this is your place. New location for me to stop & pick up take out on midway in Carrollton after work! Loves it!!

Been here once for the Thai and it was legit. The Tom kha soup was good. Will go back to try more items on the menu.

What's going on with Zenna Plano? We've been there many times and it seems to be taking a dive in customer service. We watched no less than ten people leave because no hostess... Lots of empty tables but people lined up. One couple came through after their meal complaining about bad service. Bummer.

When I came here it was the first time I had sushi and they were very helpful in finding things I would like and I am a very picky eater. Have been back a few times and it was great every time.

LOVE LOVE LOVE ZENNA! It is the best place to get your Thai fix on especially late at night! The Shrimp Tempura and Volcano roll are sooooo good! One of the great places to stop by for HH! (3-7PM)

Very good! I had soup (forgot the name of it, but it was the only one with shrimp) and it was magnificent. Good amount of soilds: shrimp, nice chunks of mushrooms, spinach, bits of tofu. It wasn't overly salty, either, which is good. Service was quick and attentive, but not harrassing. Drinks always kept filled. Clean and well-decorated. My friends ordered sushi and it was presented well (they also cleaned their plates!). We had 2 desserts - fried ice cream with caramel sauce and sticky rice with mango. Uhhh, yes. Please and thank you. Fried ice cream has always been a pleasure! Sticky rice is a good choice for anyone who doesn't like something too too sweet. We went Saturday night, and there were 25 birthdays (hyperbole) and they have a grand display. They have a dancing dragon and dumline (well. . . one drum).

A great place for meeting with friends or coworkers for drinks &great food. Family oriented as well. Place is open 10am till 3am every night!! Could say one of the best happy hour menus in dfw with appetizers &sushi from 3pm-7pm, EVERYDAY. Drinks as well like $1 Bud light or Zeigen(dark). $4 12oz Rocks &Frozen Margaritas. $2 wells! Full bar. Off happy hour is a full Thai &sushi menu. Most expensive sushi or dish is under $13. Steal! Great place, diverse crowd, food, prices. This is the place. (Friday is their busiest night with wait lists that move pretty fast &other people are always willing to wait. Drive past, lots ALWAYS full.)

Didn't have much expectation for the sushi to be the most authentic since this is a Japanese/Thai restaurant, but seriously, the sushi rice is not supposed to be SWEET, almost like a dessert. Did you forget about the rice vinegar?! The sweet rice tasted super gross with the raw fish. The powder wasabi is bland and it is probably the ugliest sushi nigiri that I have ever seen/eaten in my life. Fish quality is okay and the cut is big thus two stars. But seriously, who slaps a piece of fish on a big ball of rice and calls it Sushi? It is a joke.

Took awhile before somebody came up to the front to seat us. Food was decent I guess but was one of the least impressive Asian restaurant I've been to. Also, we ordered a bunch of the happy hour items in addition to the full price food items. Everything seemed obviously premade and I would have definitely been mad if I would have paid full price for them.

Made a pick up order over the phone for some curry chicken and paid extra to add shrimp. Came to pick it up and the food wasn't ready. Was okay with it because it was busy, so I waited. 15 minutes later server says they forgot to put in the order and he would have his manager come talk to me. 15 minutes after this food comes from a different server, but the manager never even made an effort to come say sorry. Don't say your going to do something if you're not. The server then tells me they gave me extra rice for having to wait. Really. steamed rice. Thanks. What am I going to do with an extra thing of steamed rice? Throw it away for you? After I get home, frustrated from all of this, I come to find they didn't even add the shrimp that I paid for to be added. At this point I'm too tired and frustrated to even get it fixed.

So I had my wallet stolen and had to replace my ID. The DPS gave me a temporary paper ID and so far every restaurant I've been to has been nice and served me alcohol as long as I showed an ID..well, everyone except Zenna. I came for the happy hour and was hoping to enjoy it with a few friends. Being early I got us a booth and was disgusted by the cleanliness (or lack of) at the booth. The disgusting condition of the booth in turn led many flies floating around my booth. I was constantly having to swat flies while the waitress brought me my water. I then ordered a beer for myself as I waited for my friends and showed her my ID. She told me they don't accept paper ID's and haven't for a while but when I told her it was a legal document she kept saying she would not accept it. I asked her why she wouldn't accept it and she just told me to talk to the manager. The manager was extremely rude and did not offer a reason as to why they do not accept paper ID's. Keep in mind that I had to been to Zenna the prior week and received alcohol from 2 separate waiters there while using my paper ID. She said to point out the people who served me and she would fire them on the spot. I was not going to nark on people who treated me like a human being the week before. When i told her I wouldn't say, she said there was nothing she could do and told me to look online for a reason why Zenna would not accept my ID. She wasn't even able to explain it herself. She said sorry but I could tell she did not mean it. As soon as I asked her a following question she acted as if she didn't hear me and walked back into her office. I wanted to see this policy but no one working there could show it to me. They just asked me to leave. It was very unprofessional of the manager and staff. I love sushi but I will not be returning to this place. They have lost a customer.

I love Zenna. The food here is amazing. It made me realize how much I actually like Thai food. The atmosphere and staff are perfect too. I come here with family as well as friends! My go to dishes are: drunken noodles, panang curry, and basil fried rice. Yum!

Worst experience EVER horrible food, there was a roach in my food and they told me it must have gotten in there while on the table ? Wtf nasty place. And they also took our beers bc someone at the table was underage! It was ridiculous.. Never again. Actually 0 stars if I could.

Came here for a late lunch with low expectations. Ordered Tom Kha soup as an appetizer and the Seagull roll with no cream cheese. When the soup came out I was pleasantly surprised by the taste. It was nice and creamy from the coconut milk but had a spicy kick to it as well, excellent. The roll came out and I had noticed a hair on the wasabi. When I notified my server, she quickly replaced the wasabi with a new one. The roll itself was not bad, nothing out of the world but good enough for its moderately cheap price. I would love to try more food from here next time I'm in Texas. Decent sushi for a student on budget.

I have been coming to this Zenna for many years and have eaten some fantastic food here, and then some that is not so fantastic. Pad Thai has always been a favorite of mine at Zenna, but the quality has become inconsistent, ranging from a different level of sweetness per dish and a variance of how moist it is. I have also experienced the Thai Peanut with cold vegetables too often. There is a lack of consistency on how spicy you request your food to be, and the actual level of spice has dropped significantly since I began eating here. Their sushi is good for the price. The prices are phenomenal, and are the main reason why I have eaten here so often. Their happy hour prices keep my wallet happy and their bento boxes during lunch are extremely reasonable. The service is typically good but I have had experiences with waiters who don't have a sense of urgency, often leaving me waiting to order drinks or to request a check. Overall I would love to see an improvement in the consistency of the food, which is the main reason I go and the reason I will leave this a three star review.

Ask specifically for their Thai menu. It's completely different and I guarantee you that it'll be a treat. I love the 1000 year eggs and I'm not sure exactly what else I've had from that menu but it's always been an adventure. It is not your typical westernized Thai menu (though they do have that one with the sushi. It's meh- ask for this special menu.) If you don't know what to choose, ask the waitstaff- they are really happy and more than happy to help you pick something from the "secret" menu. Happy hour is ~great~ for alcohol, but sushi here is meh overall. I wouldn't waste time on it. Honestly just ask for the special menu and you're set. Also this place is open LATE, so it's great drunk food if you're rollin' in late after the bars have closed.

Elliott M.
My experience would have been wonderful if I had some attention from my waiter. His name was ICE which was exactly how his service was...ice cold. We were here for over an hour and we saw our server all of 5 times, which included the 3 times he brought our food. We didn't even get refills on our drinks. On a positive note, the food is good for the price. Service, however, is lackluster at best.

Came here after midnight with friends. It's my first time here, so I was kinda expecting the place to be somewhat empty.. but it was full. Luckily, it didn't take long for us to be seated at a table. I did my research before I left, but there was a lot of dishes that I wanted to try. So I asked our waitress if I get the heaven beef or the garlic crispy pork ribs. She said both are good, but maybe try the ribs first. and so I did. I also ordered tempura shrimp sushi. When ribs first came, I was disappointed. THE PORTION WAS SO FREAKING SMALL. I was like how can this be?! and then I remembered that this is an appetizer. -sadface- to be honest, it wasn't that great. each pieces didn't have much meat and it was hard to chew it off the bones. The sushi was good. Now I understand what people meant by honey water in their reviews. BUT it wasn't enough! I was still hungry. I didn't eat all day that day, so I ordered another dish. and made sure to ask how big it was. I ordered the pineapple fried rice. It was the only big dish there that was interesting to try mainly because I don't like Thai food. It was alright. My friends liked it, but it was okay enough to eat. I''ll come back again to try more sushi.

I arrived to my party late, but in time to order with everybody else. I ordered my wine when I ordered my food, and when all of the food (except mine) came out, I still didnt have wine. Not even a water. I had to ask another server for my wine, and I saw him speak to mine, and my server came back asking about "the soup I wanted". My food came right about when everyone was ready for the check. I'd understand if I ordered late, but I ordered with everyone else. My friend ordered hot tea, and never received it. I ordered a retro roll without the jalapeno, and sure enough, it had it on top. I told my server as long as if it was just on top, it was ok I just didn't want it in the roll, and he assured me it wasn't. It was. I've never really liked this place because I don't like the quality of their sushi. I was seeing an old friend, so I put that aside. The location next to me has always given me great service, and I'm happy with them. Still don't like the sushi, but at least I can get my drink in under 20 minutes.

Zenna is delicious! I had the No.4 Yellow Curry with Chicken. It was very fresh and tasty. As far as spiciness. I asked for a 2, between 1-5. I will definitely return!

this convenient location right off of 75 makes it really easy for a midnight snack to a late dinner! it is great for groups and the service is excellent! their food is very diverse Asian food from Thai curry to Japanese Sushi. very interesting combination but none the less good in its own way! I still haven't found my favorite dish from here but their curry and pad thai are probably the best thing they have. Never tried their sushi because i heard it is very inconsistence. meaning sometimes the fish are fresh and sometimes are not. some of my friends told me he got diarrhea after eating there one day and told me to never go back. so very mixed feelings about their sushi. the upside is that they open til late at night! perfect for midnight munchies! come try it out! maybe you'll like the diversity mixed asian food!

Had lunch here today and was impressed with the food. My initial reaction was a bit cautious. I was greeted by a busboy with a backwards baseball cap. He found me a table and I waited for a bit for a server. Once we got to that point things were fine. My server was very polite, friendly and efficient. She brought out some wonderful soup to start things up. I ordered a Bento box lunch with chicken pad Thai noodles. It was very good. Bottom line is I had a wonderful lunch with good service for less than $10 before tip. I will be back with my wife next time!

Thomas H.
The service is god awful. I had the tempura and it was tasteless. They are blasting rap so loud you can't talk to your table. The servers were yelling and screaming in front of the sushi bar being obnoxious. A total fail by any means of late night sushi.

Vanessa V.
The customer service here is horrible! I called in for delivery a few nights ago, the hostess Naomi picked up the phone and rudely asked what I wanted. She was talking to others in the background, while taking my order & giggling etc. It was very unprofessional in my opinion. She told me my order would be delivered within 45 mins to an hour and abruptly hung up the phone. She did not ask if I needed anything else. An hour and a half passed & yet my order has yet to arrive, I called back and hostess began arguing with me over the phone regarding the delivery status of the food. It had been long passed the delivery time that was quoted and since I had placed the order of my food. Instead of putting me on hold for a manager in this situation she insisted that I was wrong with the arrival time of the food. She continued to speak in an disrespectful tone and refused to acknowledge that I was upset and would have preferred speaking to management.

4 stars on the happy hour deals. From 4 - 7pm M - F they have a great HH! Plenty of cheap eats and great beer prices. I also like the atmosphere here as well. Overall the food was just ok, but at HH prices you really can't complain. Outside of HH though I'm not sure I'd eat here as I just wasn't overly impressed with the food at all, however their regular prices certainly aren't bad either. Either way I'll be back for HH in the future!

Landed at this place last night since I was looking for a place with good ratings open late... It is a gem, loved the ambience, the fact that the place is lively and the food was tasty as well... Had the Tom Yum Chicken Soup which was very delicious and spiced appropriately... Took Drunken Noodles combo with spice level of 3, it was really good as well.. Portion sizes are good enough for one person and the service is reasonably quick given that the place is almost packed even around midnight... Promptly posted on my FB wall that this is a good place open that late since many of us end up working late due to the nature of our work... Since I keep coming to Dallas on work often, I see myself eating at this place in my future trips too...

Great happy hour deals! You will always wait at least 15 minutes for food on their best night. However, the food is good, and if you like spicy food, then order a spice level of at least a 4 or 5. Good: sushi, pad see ew, and fried ice cream.

It was a Saturday night and we arrived just before the rush and got a table on the patio. We loved the food, had no complaints there. However, one of the meals never came and we couldn't flag down our server to save a life. We eventually told him not to bother bringing the missing meal and requested our checks. He returned to tell us the missing food was ready (although he didn't have it with him) and basically said we were paying for it. We were in shock since we had finished eating about 15 minutes earlier and had already decided this server was about the worst we had ever had. I quickly spoke up and told him we didn't want it and he had better bring the checks. One of the group members found a manager who was brash (to say the least) but told us we didn't have to pay for it and she would pay for one of our appetizers. When our server came back out, she preceded to yell at him and argue in front of the entire patio.. and we were still waiting to get our checks. When we got our checks, of course they were wrong, and we had to send them back. This was quite possibly the worst service I've ever had.. The food though.. was pretty great.

Came here a few times , I love it here , Last night My Wife and I came for Dinner. Guess we came when it was getting busy.The hostess was in a panic , but one of the waitresses quickly took charge and was seating or wait listing everyone. When we sat we come to see the waitress who was seating us was our actual waitress. Her name is Aissa, and I gotta say she is probably one of the best waitresses I have ever come across. and I have been in the industry for a long time. She was quick with our refills quick to take our order and check up on us and very cheerful and upbeat. Zenna has a gold mine w/ her there. We ordered 2 appetizers to start off with. The crab ragoon dip is off the hook!!! you can never get enough of it. The Spring rolls are up there also. We ordered a few sushi rolls , she had ordered the Dynamite Roll and Spicy Tuna roll , I ordered the Volcano , EXCELLENT! It def hit the spot , This is one of our favorite Japanese/Thai spots.

We went here last night for dinner and the first thing I will note is that our server Alisa was fantastic. She was very personable and attentive. The interesting thing was the music was similar to what you would find at a hip hop club. It's definitely a fun place to go out to with your friends - up to you if you want to bring young kids here (depending on how you feel about certain song lyrics!). The food was good, especially the green curry. The fried ice cream was also yummy and for a very affordable price! Good place for a late night hang out with buddies.

Cool environment with lots of food options, including sushi and thai. Open till 4am, which was great since we were passing by around 11pm; we still had to wait about 10 minutes for a table. Super friendly staff! The red curry wasn't my favorite, sushi was decent. I'll definitely be back to try other options!

I want to love this place because it's open late but the menu is so " hit or miss " that I don't know if it's worth it y'all. I've been here twice and it's always the same. Half of what you order ( if you haven't ordered that dish before) is questionable while the other half is delicious. For example, the last time I was here we ordered several of their rolls. They weren't terrible but they sufficed at 12 AM. However, when we went today and ordered their Sashimi Sampler ( D?) it's not a stretch to say that I had to hold my breath to eat it. The sashimi RANKED. Keep in mind that I eat a lot of sashimi and sushi ( even had a few allergic reactions due to bad refrigeration) and I've never gotten a plate of sashimi that smelled and tasted so... ripe. We didn't send it back because the restaurant was so busy, but it was definitely a bad start. Next came our sorry excuse for Chilean Sea Bass. This is a gorgeous cut of fish that they completely destroyed because there was no flavor ( or salt). On the opposite side of the spectrum, our Eastern Salmon, which we've ordered before, was so sweet that I felt a cavity developing. The Fried Calamari were just pieces of grease ( also without salt). The high note to the meal was definitely the Pineapple Seafood Fried Rice. Huge Diver Scallops, perfectly cleaned and butterflied shrimp, and tender calamari with sweet pineapple chunks. My conclusion after two visits to Zenna's: Come if you must, there are much better alternatives around. If you're here definitely order the Pineapple Fried Rice with Seafood, Seaweed Salad, & Octopus Salad. AVOID: All raw fish, sushi portion of the menu in general, fried calamari, Eastern Salmon, & Chilean Sea bass. I've always had good service here, not sure what all the fussing is about.

Not bad at all. Moderately priced, food is pretty good. I bought the "Heaven Beef" off the Hot Tapas section which is described as "Thai style beef jerky marinated in coriander seeds." That description is spot on, it was literally a bowl of cooked beef-jerky-like meat. It was alright, though I'm not sure I would pay $6 for it again.

Whether it's for happy hour or a late night meal, this is my go to place. The happy hour menu is tough to beat. The discounts are huge not only on cocktails and beer, but also food items like sushi and appetizers. When I eat here, I always get a Thai tea and the drunken noodles (pad kee mow) with chicken. They scale spiciness on a scale of 1 to 5. I usually get a level 3 and it is pretty hot. My hubby usually opts for the red curry chicken and gets a level 2 or 3 depending on his mood. Sometimes we get a California roll or another one of their various rolls of sushi as an appetizer. They are always a great starter to our meal and don't leave us full before our entrees even get to the table. This place is a great happy hour if you're on a budget and the perfect cure to a late night of drinking!!!

This place was packed but luckily we were able to sit at the sushi bar and get seated right away. We had never been here so we asked our server Daniel for a recommended roll. He said get the Carnage Roll (not on the menu). It was delicious. We also got the coconut soup (can't think of the name) and it was amazing as well. Side note there was a birthday and they have a funny surprise.

Food: There's a mix of everything. Not a fan of their sushi but all the Thai dishes were amazing. Thai tea was bomb! Service: Above average Environment: Dark environment. They do a quick lion dance performance if it's your birthday. Price: Decently priced. Food: 4 Service: 4 Environment: 4 Price: 4

Went to Zenna cause my friends all wanted to go eat there.... Let me just say this place has the worst service ever! When we arrived around 7:00pm just a party of four they said that our wait time would only be around 15min... which by the end it was almost 1hr we had other people who came in later then us has been seated. It was then my friend went up to go say that we had been waiting for a while... appearently they had forgotten about us..... wow... then when we finally got seated we got our drinks our waitress named Milli.. or something like that. We ordered 2 stir fry noodles, 1 Noodle soup, 1 fried rice, and some cocnut curry rice and chicken...... Heres another problem.. they all came in at different times first the 1 flat noodle then the pad thai. and like 5 mins later the fried rice. Then the curry rice...??!?!? did they forget about the Noodle soup?!?!? i think they did it took them about 15 mins to get this one out.. by this time everyone else is already done eaiting.... AND what else is that they forgot the noodle... I know from experience it doesnt take that long to make a noodle soup let along shouldnt let out order to come out at seperate times... needless to say I WILL NEVER GO BACK.. most horrible experience of all....

I came here this past Sunday around 7:45 for dinner. Originally our dinner plans were Sushi Sake but they are closed on Sunday, and this place also had sushi (and sake). We went in and it was kind of strange, and I wasn't sure what kind of restaurant this was. There were people dressed up, there was a guy in socks and Nike sandals, and there were people literally in pajamas. They are opened til 3am and the bar was full before it was even 8pm. The other weird thing was the dishes they had behind a glass case. I don't think they have swapped out these plates in a while and the 'fried rice' looked a little maggoty (but this has been a plate in a glass case for who knows how long, so I let it slide). When we were finally seated the restaurant itself was a lot nicer than the entrance waiting area, and I felt a little better. Our server was very pleasant and had our warm sake ready just moments after we ordered it. The menu is.... odd. It started off with cold tapas (reminder, this is a Thai AND Japanese restaurant), hot tapas, then full sized entrees, then sushi. We decided to split a few tapas since we had never had their food (and we were prepared to have different things at Sushi Sake) so my appetite wanted a little bit of everything. We got the Fried Calamari, our server said it was 'totally different than normal calamari, you get a sweet and sour sauce and not marinara'. It was pretty tasty and came with crushed peanuts on top (put peanuts on top of anything and I'm happy). We got the Golden Samosas which I enjoyed and found flavorful, but not too spicy as they can often be. We got Fried Gyoza which was great and ordering them fried instead of steamed made them very crispy. The best thing we ordered was the Heavenly Beef, which was heavenly. After our second round or tapas we regretted not getting another order of the beef. We tried the Garlic Crispy Pork Ribs which I do NOT recommend. They have tiny little bones in them (and the meat does not fall off the bone) so you basically have to bite into the rib and pull the bone out of your mouth. Have you ever gone on a date and pulled small pork bone ribs out of your mouth? It's not very attractive. Lastly, we ordered the Tuna Tataki which fit the theme of this restaurant, ODD. It was seared tuna on a plate, with a wine glass upside down in the middle, raw tuna inside the wine glass and 4 pieces of tuna sushi on top (of the bottom of the wine glass). It was at this moment we realized why Sushi Sake was closed, fish is not fresh on Sunday evenings.

Unfortunately we never got a chance to try. We made a reservation and left a vm as nobody would pick up the phone incl my phone number. When we arrived we were happy as this place is a zoo! However, they told us they don't take reservations and we can wait for 1 hour. 1 star for zero customer service - and I didn't like the crowd that much ... Sorry guys

LOVE this place my wife and I are frequent costumers. almost every Friday we go there for happy hour, and to spend time together. I personally love the Tom Kha Kai and the shrimp roll. The fried ice cream is my wife's favorite and we usually end up sharing it because is so good. The decor is different and the customers picturesque. This is certainly a trending place. This is not a fast food joint so whenever you go ask for some cold tapas and place your order at that time. However not everything is perfect in this place. the restrooms are sometimes forgotten and since they are next to the bar, well... you know.

First the pros: Happy Hour is amazing. Seriously, if you don't go during happy hour you are wasting money. We spent $35 total and got a ton of food! $6 for a beer tower? Yes please! Sushi ranges from 2-3 dollars, appetizers range from 3-4 dollars. It's perfect. We had a mixture of items that were happy hour and were not. Plano roll, shrimp tempura, thai fried rice, fried calamari (the best I've ever had!) edamame, and tulip dumplings. We left full and happy. The service was great, our server was the sweetest little lady. The decor is nice, it was clean and very trendy. Now the cons: The sushi was so so. Not the best I've had but not the worst. It was fresh, but the tempura roll fell apart immediately. The edamame was so so. Overall, everything was good just not great. But you get what you are paying for so it's not a big deal. However, don't skimp on the fried calamari!! It's amazing ! Anyways- the seaweed for the sushi was really tough. Which was weird. Overall the food is mediocre. But it's great for a cheap date.

Went there for the first time last weekend. For starters, seeing local lowlifes with neck tats and wife-beaters sitting on the patio just made me wonder what kind of establishment we have here. Daughter tells me that the hipsters love it because of cheap drinks and eats at happy hour. Next up, could we get someone to wait on us? Well, after about 10 minutes, yes. Then another 5-7 passes and we still have no drinks; water, tea and soda--no time-consuming cocktails. When we decide the weather is iffy, tables grossly sticky,and we need to go inside, the same waiter continues to try and take care of us. He was very polite but had no business waiting tables. Slow, forgetful and inattentive. The food. My tempura roll still had the shrimp tail embedded in it. Not sticking out the end, but embedded inside. Despite that, it was tasty enough. My pad thai was much too sweet. In all honesty, the pad thai at Thai Box is so much better. Mine, other than being sweet, was really flavorless. Huge disappointment. Daughter loved her California roll (how hard is it to screw up one of those, really?). She also ate all of her Philadelphia roll, so I assume she enjoyed it. Her boyfriend got beef teriyaki and his broccoli was tough. He thought overall the dish was pretty lousy. I won't be back. Poor service and average to poor food quality was bad enough. A significant clientele of rednecks, gangstas/wannabe gangstas and hoochie mamas was also a turnoff. I SO wish for a return to dress codes for restaurants.

I LOVE this place!!!! I order for delivery at least 2 times a week! My home is not within there delivery zone, so i only order when i'm at work, but i am addicted to this place! I can't get enough, the Thai food here tastes almost as good as LA Thai food, hand's down best Thai food in DFW for me. I grew up in LA so i really know good Thai, there sushi rolls are pretty delish as well. Here are some of the thing's i have tried so far: Pad Thai-4 stars Pad See Eew-4 stars Spicy Basil Fried Rice-4.5 Stars Green Curry-5 Stars Tom Kha Kai-4.8 Stars Tom Yum-4 Stars Chicken Satay-4 Stars Eel Roll-4 Stars Zenna Roll-4.5 Stars Dynamite Roll-4.5 Stars Midnight Roll-4 Stars Chicken Wings (Teriyaki)-2 Stars

Good food, good service (both in restaurant and in delivery). It is typically always busy here, especially during happy hour. My only real complaint is that I wish they would either offer a dedicated parking spot for those picking up a take away order or that they would offer curbside service. It's frustrating to not be able to park & run in to grab your order, because of limited parking.

I never got to taste the food. The attitude of the hostess was so poor my friend and I left. We were trying a new restaurant for lunch and decided on Zennas. The conversation the hostess was having on her phone was far more important to her than acknowledging customers. (It was very obvious she was having a personal conversation.) We gave her plenty of time to look up but sadly were ignored. There are plenty of Thai and sushi restaurants in this town - Zennas is no longer on my list of places to try.

Came here for a late lunch on a week day. Ordered some Bento boxes. There were not many customers inside, but our food was very slow in arriving. The wait was excruciating since we were quite hungry. When the food finally came, found it to be quite good. The portion sizes were uneven though, with the salad and California roll on the small side, while the entree portion was large. One caveat is that my daughter, who had braces, could not eat the broccoli in the Pad See Ewe because the broccoli was barely cooked. Overall, good value if you have some time to spare.

Good ambiance and good food. We loved the combination Hawaiian fried rice, pad Thai and pad kee Mao. Spring rolls were good too.

I am an absolute addict! I call Zenna probably 4 times a week. The Sashimi seaweed salad is my favorite and I would highly recommend it to any sashimi fans out there. The service is also phenomenal. Greet you with a smile in a timely manner.

I've noticed that the new management is terrible. I know they are trying to go corporate but that's no reason to start hiring terrible waiters or managers. I use to love the place but it slowly died off. There are a few good things still going for the place like happy hour or late night business hours.

I'm going to try and be fair. If you love sushi and eat it on a regular basis and/or explore different flavors/rolls/etc. just don't eat at Zenna's. You'll be thoroughly disappointed. I question the freshness of their fish. I've had a few of their happy hour rolls that tasted just a bit too fishy and were off-color. On the other hand, if you're just wanting a good place to hang, a nice patio to sit on, and some good beer specials, it's a good place to be. The thing that I really enjoy about Zenna's is that they're open every single night of the week till 3AM. It makes it a great hangout place, especially with their towers of beer. As far as food goes, they have some pretty good dishes. Nothing real fancy, but good solid portions, good flavors, and reasonably priced. So overall. I've had better sushi, but for a good place with decent Asian food, towers of beer, and that's open late, this is the place to be. Not to mention, their "birthday song" is fantastically embarrassing if you need to payback your friend for any prior torment. Afterthought: Service has always kind of sucked. They need to train their staff a bit better.

The food was amazing, our server was great, but the hostess Hana wasn't. Gave us an attitude and when we asked for an apology, all she could say was "oh well". Diners should NOT tolerate this rudeness and disrespect. Could've just apologized and made things better from the start. Therefore, the overall experience was not too well.

Kayla D.
I was impress when i first walk in and didn't realize how late they open. Looks like a happy hour type of place that you want to hang out with a bunch of friends. Service was nice and quick with a great selection of foods on the menu. Price was decent and the food looks very appetizing. I just ordered something safe and basic first before i venture out to see if they are any good. I had egg roll, chicken pad Thai, spider roll, and tuna tartar. Over all, it wasn't bad for what i paid, but the quality aren't so great. This is just a convenience late night hang out place if you don't know where to go after midnight.

Mediocre food at a relatively decent price I don't care much for the food here because it is nothing spectacular. The atmosphere on the other hand is completely worth the experience. I enjoy sitting in this restaurant and their sushi and drink happy hours seem to be a great bargain as well.

LOVE THEIR HAPPY HOUR ! its from 3-7pm everydayyyy ! its usually very busy but i don't mind the wait for the cheap sushi rolls and 50 cent beers. they're open til 3 am everyday too, so it beats going to ihop or dennys i'd rather have the beef boat noodle soup. or the crispy BBQ over rice to satisfy late night cravings! also try the heaven beef ! its beef from heaven :] the atmosphere of the restaurant is fun! sure, there are one or two people that are maybe not as quiet as others but its probably because they're taking advantage of the 9$ beer towers ! I am more than likely to come back here and eat. if not order delivery ! :]

This is my first review and first experience with Zenna, so please bear with me :) I ordered delivery from Zenna this afternoon to treat myself to a nice lunch. I ordered through the online system (got tom-kha kai soup, thai shrimp fried rice, and shrimp tempura) and while anticipation made it feel like forever, I actually got a confirmation call from the restaurant within 5 minutes. Delivery time was estimated at about an hour (woe is my tummy), but it unexpectedly arrived 15 minutes early, yay! If you are anything like me, the very first thing you do upon receiving a delivery order is stuff your nose into the bag and breathe in the scents. This deserves a hard page break (imagine a lovely visual simulation here, exciting no?)...Back to my story...err, review. So, I breathed in and convulsed in the glory of food scented goodness, i.e. it smelled really, really good. It did not disappoint. A few points here: Shrimp Tempura- Had a lot of breading and was pretty greasy (I normally greatly dislike greasy, fried food. All I can taste is the grease, and then the after taste of grease). That said, I practically inhaled all 4 of them...or five; I honestly didn't take time to really count. They were heavily breaded, overly greasy and absolutely the tastiest shrimp tempura that I have had in a long time. I even tried one after removing the breading (and therefore the grease), and it just wasn't as good. Likely, a diet buster, but totally worth it! Thai Shrimp Fried Rice: On the first bite, I did not like this at all. The second bite was better. The third bite made me think that maybe this was alright after all. The fourth, fifth, sixth...it goes on...bites, made me realize how very much I DID like this! I ordered a lot of food and I am a tiny girl with a tiny stomach (I eat in shifts...all day), so it is currently resting in my fridge as leftovers. But it calls me again already. I hear it. Calling my name. I'm a fan, obviously. Tom Kha Kai- I don't like sweet foods, not really even candy all that much, but definitely not in something that isn't a dessert (I know, Thai? I chose Thai, known for having sour, sweet, salty, and bitter components? I'm irrational like that). I had never had this before but it looked tasty, so I gave it a shot. For me, it was...weird. I haven't quite come to terms with it yet. I keep eating it, and I'm not sure whether I like it or not. Maybe in small doses. Based on my experience with the tempura and the fried rice, I'm fairly sure it is pretty awesome, even if not entirely my bag. Though I keep going back. I'm confused. OK, lazy bones! TL;DR Version! Tempura: greasy, overly breaded awesomeness. I want 10 more. Thai Shrimp fried rice: Delish! Will order again and again. Tom Kha Kai: I found it too sweet for me (I'm sensitive to sweet), but I keep going back for more anyway. What??? Fast delivery, extensive menu, great service(delivery), affordable prices. Would I go/order delivery from Zenna again: 100% yes! And, as a night owl, they are open late! Big bonus for me!

BEWARE!!!! Zenna has signs warning about towing when parking at the Motel 6 behind them, so we parked in a different lot next to them. We then proceeded to ask the hostess if we were in a safe spot, and she reassured us that we were in a safe spot. Needless to say this story ends with a towed car and a $290 towing fee. Yes, TWO HUNDRED AND NINETY! I used to love going to Zenna for their sushi and Thai; however, our experience is now marred by such a poor experience.

We tried this restaurant after much debate if we would ever go or not. The restaurant is driven for those who drink... BUT you can't pass up the deal on the food... Sushi... My husband ordered tuna sushi and the spicy tuna roll. The sushi was $1 a piece and the roll was $3. Obviously, the tuna was the same quality as a fancy sushi restaurant, but it was still tasty. I had the salmon ($1 a piece) and the Philadelphia roll ($3.50). I thought mine was really good and couldn't complain at all. Wings... We ordered the pepper garlic wings and they were so tasty! Those, at the happy hour cost was $4.50. The chicken was crispy and had a ton of flavor. Ribs... We ordered the pork short ribs, and it was well worth the $4.50 we paid. The people sitting next ordered them, and we ordered it because of their plate. Thia Tea... Order it. It's delicious. Maybe a little too sweet, but it was still tasty. This place is busy. The waiters are constantly running around, but we did not have a rude server at all. If we asked for something, she got it as quick as she could. Obviously, this isn't a super high end place if you are looking for amazing high quality fish (it isn't Sake Sushi in Richardson). But it is filling and tasty. We will be going back again.

The food was flavorful. Had the pad Thai and the Thai tea. Our group all enjoyed the food. The spice levels can be hit or miss. They rank the spices on a 0-5 scale. We got a 2 and tasted like a 5. Sunday service can be hit or miss as well. Three servers for the large crowd made for a long ticket time and our orders all came out at different times. It's a good restaurant for Thai and sushi...

I was very pleasantly surprised. A somewhat odd restaurant - Thai/Japanese. So getting my Massuman curry in a bento box was just plain weird. But it was good. The stuff that came with it, less so. The salad - meh. The roll thing - meh. The sushi roll - meh! Service was sprightly and efficient. All in all a nice lunch surprise.

Great late night Japanese/Thai place- open til 3 am every night. Mediocre sushi and thai food. If you get a chance, check out the Thai menu. One of my favs is the Thai egg salad. JUST try it!

The Plano Zenna location was once a local favorite. It was great to have a late-night place to meet in Plano outside of IHOP for Denny's. Unfortunately, quality has suffered over the past year and the place is, as sad as it is to say, quite dirty. So here are the good parts. Zenna is open until 3 am, has a pretty inexpensive happy hour until 7pm, even on Fridays. The portions are large and I usually have some left over to take home. The Thai tea and desserts are visually appealing and tasty to boot. If you go here on your birthday, make sure they bring out the dragon costume and drums and sing. That's always fun. The negatives include filthy, broken-down bathrooms, rowdy college students that yell, smash dishware, and pee on the lawn outside during happy hour, and sushi rolls that are loose and fall apart between your chop sticks. The tables are usually sticky and service is slow. Getting seated in the empty dining room at lunch can take 10 minutes just for the hostess to acknowledge your existence because she's too busy gabbing with friends on the phone, and it usually takes about an hour and a half to be seated, eat, and pay during the sparse lunch hour. A year ago I would have given a much better review, but as I watch the quality of food and service disintegrate from week to week, the restaurant no longer appeals to me and I hesitate to bring family or friends.

This review is for their delivery service. I ordered at 6:27pm. It is now 8:02pm. I called again at the hour:20 mark and she apologized. "They had a back up on orders." No excuse! We live less maybe 10 minutes away. Their service in the restaurant is good. So is the food. I just called the third time, to cancel our order.Ashely said the manager is the one delivering our food. This should be good. ...The manager came with our food...finally. An hour and 40 minutes later. Granted, he dis have a delivery sheet with 12-15 addresses on it. That is not our problem! Hire more drivers. You do a great business and people love it. just get it together!

Fun, late night spot where you can eat and still keep the party going. I even got to witness a 3am birthday dragon dance while I was there! The menu was big but organized with lots of pretty pictures to look at. I tried the seaweed salad with sashimi on top and found it to be a nice late night treat. Sake bombs were fun and affordable and the green curry was good but spicy...probably in an effort to make you drink more. Our waiter was friendly and engaging and best of all...happy to split the check however we wanted.

My review of this restaurant (food wise) will be limited. That is because I only order one thing when I go to Zenna's - drunken noodles. They are so delicious. I can't ever get enough! And the one drink I always get here is their Margarita. I get a couple of those every time. The atmosphere is always upbeat and fun at night because they have a bar. We went once during lunch and the atmosphere was much more serene. The prices are fair. My kids are in there 20's and they like this place. We've gone to parties here, late night dinners here with friends (love their late hours), and I even had my (very small) wedding reception here. Everyone in my family and all of the friends I can think of really like Zenna's. Without a doubt, I would recommend this restaurant.

Angie H.
Zenna is good food and good service. The happy hour specials are totally worth it-- tons of tasty appetizers for under $5 and beer and mixed drinks for under $3. Good appetizers include the Samosas, Crispy Spring Roll, Dumplings, and Basil Chicken Wraps. Regular menu-wise the Tuna Tataki, Tom-Kha Kai soup, Lamb Chops, Midnight Roll and Bangkok Roll are all great options. The staff is nice and the sushi is really well priced.

I am a big sushi love as well as a happy hour person. They have happy hour from 3-7. Their sushi was not good. The rice was sweet! That is not normal. It took away the taste of the fish which wasn't too fresh as well. It was hard for us to finish the sushi since it was so sweet. We had the eel roll, tuna roll, yellow tail roll and salmon nigiri. Their 2 dollar margarita was really small and it was hard to drink it with the tiny straw that was given since it was super thick and frozen. The sake was okay kinda generic. I would not come back here again. We tried to get the server's attention because they only gave us 2 plates and chopsticks but we had three people but she was rude to us and gave us a look. She was not friendly at all. We got to see the dragon dance for a birthday which was unique.

Their Thai food is good and decently priced. They are open until 3 am, which is a huge plus...especially for those late night munchies. I always get their Pad Woon Sen (not on the menu) and Thai Tea (a definite must). They also have sushi, but I wouldn't recommend it. I mean, it's good and all, but it's expensively priced I think. The service is great. The waiters and waitresses are always friendly. AND they throw you a dragon dance with a free dessert for your birthday!

Great place to eat sushi, have large dinner parties (especially late night) and drinks! Here's the deal... The drinks are super good and fruity... They don't taste strong, but let me tell you they hit you all at once! I'm not a light-weight when it comes to alcohol. A great night of sushi can result in a horrific ride home that results in you pulling over and throwing up the ripest sushi you have ever tasted :/

Miss V.
Their Thai Lo Mein is excellent. I like spicy food but 2-3 is fine for me. My boyfriend, who loves spicy food says anything beyond a 3 messes with the actual taste of the dish since you're mostly tasting spice at that point. However, he loves him some red curry #5. They also have some delicious calamari. Waitstaff can be hit or miss about delivering dishes and drinks quickly but the food and the being open til 3 a.m. every night more than makes up for it. Don't get any of their desserts though. Horrible. Great drink specials. I think I tried their sushi once. This isn't really a sushi place. Come for the thai food :)

Come Thai one on here at their Happy Hour - you won't be alone and you won't go broke. I had the hot Sake which hit the spot. But what I noticed on other tables was the interesting way they serve 3 liters of frosty beer. A really fun place for large groups and the glee can be had for a song until 7 pm. They serve sushi which my friends gushed over but I had the spring rolls and the wrapped basil chicken. I could have eaten another plate of the spring rolls. But, the basil chicken could have been a half order by the time I got bored with them. The service was superior. For as busy as the place was, we had terrific frequency of visits, timely delivery/refills/collection and friendly, smiling banter that was welcomed and not intrusive. Parking can be tight if you arrive after the start of Happy Hour. Both of my friends had to park far away. The decor is odd, but, unless you're visiting to critique their dusty wind chimes, just look past the chotkes and enjoy the spring rolls.

You don't come to Zenna for their sushi... one time my friend and me ordered the volcano roll and was extremely disappointed with the quality and the quantity. We also ordered octopus once and when it came out we immediately smelled the foul odor coming from the octopus and it seemed like it had just been sitting out for awhile. Scarred us from ever ordering sushi from Zenna again. Their bento boxes during lunch are a pretty good deal. For around $8 including tax you get soup, salad, california rolls, an egg roll and a good amount of your entree. Zenna's is nice because they stay open until 3am. The Thai tea here is good. I always order the fried gyoza and garlic crispy pork ribs for appetizer and the pad-see-eew (level 5 spicy) for my entree. The drunken noodle and the mussaman curry are also good. I used to go to Zenna's a lot because they stay open late and their food is decent. I think they recently got a new chef because their food has been tasting a lot better. It's not the best Thai food but is decent enough. The desserts here are not that great. The sweet sticky rice with fresh mango was questionable and their fried ice cream was not the best. I've definitely had better fried ice cream at other places.

The BEST sober-me-up food you'll ever eat! I'll take Thai over breakfast food or Jack in the Crack any day. Order off their Thai menu. Nothing stops the room from spinning like some spicy beef boat noodle soup. The meat is admittedly a bit tough but the broth is sooooo delicious. I don't know how to describe it, I guess like pho with lots of attitude. The broth is a lot denser than pho. Also get the porridge with fish. It's such an easy simple dish to make at home, but it's so much nicer when someone makes it for you! They provide a variety of condiments to add in yourself. I like adding fish sauce & Thai peppers. If you're feeling a bit adventurous try the dried fish salad. It's literally what it sounds like - dried fish with cilantro, red onions, fish sauce, Thai peppers, some lime juice & a hint of sugar. All my favorite flavors combined into one neat little side dish. Service can be spotty but who cares at 2AM?

I love sushi! The food at Zenna is excellent, and well priced. I always get a Caterpillar roll and highly recommend it. Zenna has a pretty large menu with a wide variety of Thai and Japanese foods. There is something offered for the whole family, so my young boy and my husband both always find something they like. The wait staff is very kind, attentive, and patient. The desserts are amazing and you should try them all! I really like this place. Nice modern atmosphere that doesn't overpower with decent layout, and clean bathrooms. I love extra late night dining that isn't I-hop! I know it may sound silly, but when you have been out and about all evening, or at a concert, it is good to have late night options that are not fast food or breakfast. This place is open until 3am!

Food is so-so. Manager doesn't know anything about good customer service. Reminds me of some places in Asia where the establishment is always right and the customer is always wrong. Used to come here a lot for take out but swore off the place for good! Gave up on it after having to endure mistakes on take out orders in several occasions and them refusing to do reasonable substitutions for free. At this point, the only good thing about this place are their nice hostesses - Lana, Isabel and Hannah. Thankfully, a new one opened up late last year that's close to Addison - better food & management.

Although I do LOVE Zenna, the food and drinks are nothing special. If you go during happy hour, you can get the table beer keg, which is fun with a group of friends and cheap; however, they do not have a very extensive beer selection. My favorite dish to get is the Drunken Noodles. Yummy! Most of their Thai dishes are delicious. The sushi is not very fresh and I've definitely had much better sushi elsewhere. Even though it's not amazing food, the atmosphere and late hours gets me going back.

we drove 2 hours to get to this place and while we were eating we saw a RAT not a MOUSE come out of their kitchen...i went inside and told the greeter in her ear to keep it quiet and not make a scene she calls the manager and it took him 10 min to come out...not only did they mess our order they were rude none of them APolgized for the nastiness and the manager ran off not saying sorry or nothing. we later threw up ...it was just disgusting---and after my experience i post on facebook turns out im not the only one with that experience...our kids saw the rat and they all told the manager the same story so I COULDNT make this up and they made me pay my bill which was crazy!!! and at the end of the night...they didnt say thank you or good night !!! and it was a sunday----HORRIBLE!

I've been a fan since this place first opened in 2007. The sushi is OK, but my fav dishes have always been the curry (green or pineapple) or pad thai. The prices for their lunch (11am-3pm) specials are amazing for the price considering you get a soup, salad, 2 piece of cali roll, spring roll, and entree. Their happy hour (3pm-7pm EVERY day of the week) is also good. $2 wells, $3 cosmos or long islands, among others. They have cheap rolls, $1 nigri, and a lot of hot tapas (I recommend the basil chicken wrap!) to choose from. I just wish they served brown rice :( Overall it's a good value for the money and in regards to some reviews stating they are culturally confused, get over it. It makes for a good laugh to see the waiters running around as a chinese dragon and banging the gong. Good atmosphere and the place is always busy. I also love that they deliver.

Jennifer T.
The food is okay here. Honestly there prices are a bit pricey for the quality of the food. The only thing that I actually find myself craving here is the tom yum or tom kha soup. I love their Thai soup here but as far as the dishes, I would def go to an acutal all Thai restaurant. Sushi is alright too. Nothing great. BUT I will say that their happy hour is awesome and one of the best. 1. It's everyday! Not just weekdays from 5-7 but everyday from 3-7! It's a shame they don't have reverse HH. 2. $4 margaritas that are stronger than other places and $9 beer towers! OMG these beer towers are such a great deal and good for big groups. We never make it to our next destination after Zenna HH because we get too many towers for a good price. 3. Their HH menu for food isn't bad and good to snack on. The edemame, calamari, dollar sushi, gyoza, and surprisingly...chicken wings are all really good and cheap. Other plus is that they're open til 3am. But its def all about the HAPPY HOUR here.

This is my families "go to" place for birthdays. The happy hour menu is cheap and has a really good selection. Never had bad food here even when they are super busy (which is often). Watch the Long Island Ice Teas, they will sneak up on you.

Kim P.
I wasn't too impressed with their food the first time I came here, but they have an awesome happy hour! 3-7 everyday. $2 wells, 2 L or 3 L beers for $6 or $9. Sushi and other dumplings and food for $3.50 or less. Their sushi is decent. And it came out super quick tonight when I was there. I also ordered the golden samosas. They were okay. Don't think I'd order them again. Just tasted like potatoes. I will most likely put this into my Happy Hour rotation. :)

I've been here about 3 times now so I think it's time to tell about my experience. The atmosphere is great and welcoming. There is a bar and TVs so people can watch sports. Happy Hour is awesome!!! From $2 margaritas and beer to $2 sushi mmmm you can't beat that! And the sushi is great. Every time I've been here, they always have hip hop music playing lol! I guess they enjoy it. But overall...good eats at this joint!

Yellow curry is to die for! Sushi is great too. Service was slow. Busy restaurant, always packed but delicious food. My husband got their combination fried rice and it had no flavor. Try the curries.

First time I came to this place with my sister-in-law. Her school was close to the restaurant why not give it a try. Nice decoration and cozy dining area. Great place for a date night. Service was terrible, the waitress never ever took care of us. They were just talking to each other and took them for a while to take our order. Another thirty minutes our food came out. We ordered California rolls as an appetizer. They were alright, typical kind of buffet rolls. They were cheap because of happy hours. You know..you get what you pay for. I ordered spicy basil vegetable and tofu. It was not good at all! Small portion big price. My friend had Yen TA Fo or seafood soup. She didn't like it either. They just failed for their food. It's Asian fusion kind of Americanize more. The food isn't worth the wait. They open till three am though. No more trying this place for me at this point.

Better service there compare to Zhabuki. We were greeted right away and received great service.

My baby sister raves about how great this place is and for her birthday lunch, she wanted the whole family to take her here. We were like, "sure, okay" Including her friends, there were 14 people in our party. When we got there, the place was not packed. However, it seemed like they were understaffed because there was nobody at the hostess booth to sit us down. We had to wait at least a good 15 minutes before we were seated. No biggie. After we sat down and looked over the menu, it took them a good while to take our orders. Like I said, we had 14 people in our party and only one waitress to serve us. Not a problem, right? We weren't in a rush anyway. I opted for the pad see ew bento box because my sister recommended it. However, after everybody else got their orders. I didn't get mine. After another 10 minutes, I had to ask where my order was and apparently it had been sitting out for a while. She just forgot to give it to me. Wowza! Well, my bento box came with some edamame, which at this point was already COLD. No good. The pad see ew was actually pretty good and it had the potential to be REALLY good had it been warmer. Why didn't I ask them to just make me a new one? Well, at this point, I was starving. I didn't want to wait much longer. The bento box also came with a couple of California rolls, salad with creamy dressing, and a vegetable eggroll. All these were pretty average compared to other places that have them. I also ordered the heaven beef and this was actually really good. If you like beef, I think you would like this little dish. Highly recommended. Anyway, I hope my experience here is just a one-off experience. Since the food was actually pretty tasty and they're actually pretty reasonably priced. I think I'd go back and try this place out again.

This is my go-to favorite spot after hour. I've been to this restaurant several times and even before they used to be Bangkok city. Ask for Thai menu if you want to be adventurous! I recommend all their noodle dishes especially Sen Lek Tom Yum and Yen Ta Pho. Both were on point every time I get them. So satisfying. Spicy, savory and flavorful. Don't forget to try their rice soup as well! Sometimes I go for drinks. Bartenders there are very friendly and very just very good at what they're doing! I love this place! Best in Plano!

Downtown location is big and service is good except 2 very major things. First: what is up with all the smoke? I smell like a fried factory when I leave the place. Second: Getting someone to deliver your food or even getting them to pick up after work on a weekday is impossible. I am giving 5 stars because i like their food.

The best part is that they're open till 3 am! They also have a great happy hour where you can get sushi and good appetizers for really cheap. I like their specialty sushi rolls. I still like Noodle Wave Their desserts are really good and huge.

Another late night alternative to Ihop if you're the clubbing type or happen to eat late. My favorites are the drunken noodles and anything off of the Thai menu. Yes, there's a secret Thai menu but you'll have to ask for it.

It shouldn't take 20 min to get a miso soup. The food wasn't bad but service is lacking.

The happy hour is my favorite thing about this place. Cheap drinks and appetizers, and the wait staff is typically very nice. Good place to hit up with friends for drinks and also has great drunken noodles!

Service here sucks so bad. We waited 20 minutes and no one ever came to our table, while people who were seated after us were being served. When I finally got the attention of a waiter, I was told our server was "busy." Super lame, Zenna.

I have tried almost everything in the menu by now all of which are really good. Only prob is the service, it is hit or miss. I guess it depends on time of the day and how busy they are. They have good HH prices and what I like the most is they are open late and still offer the full menu.

This is our favorite place for midnight munchies. The food has always been ready on time and consistently delicious. We especially enjoy the Heaven Beef, Garlic Crispy Pork Ribs, Crispy Wrapped Shrimp and Beef Noodle Soup. Good variety on the menu.

This is one of my office's favorite spots to order lunch because it's delicious and very conveniently located. The yellow curry is our unanimous favorite, and the take-out portion is huge -- usually enough for two leftover meals. $10 an order can break the bank if you're getting takeout every day, but with the amount you get when you order curry it's a bargain. The few times I've eaten in the restaurant the service was good, but the portion size seemed much smaller than what I was used to with take-out. You can order online at their website, which is easy to use BUT I have stopped using this service since one time I ordered, waited, went to pick it up, and the hostess said there was no record of my order in their system. I showed her the email confirmation on my phone and they made it for me while I waited. I can't blame them for a computer glitch, but I'd rather just call and not risk it. The only negative I consistently encounter is that you have to call before the lunch rush or it'll easily be an hour before you can pick it up. Especially because they only ever seem to have one person working at the front desk. She's always nice and helpful, but when she has to balance seating in-house guests and answering the phone and dealing with pick-up orders, service can be slow. I've never ordered for delivery because our office is barely 3 minutes away and we still get quoted an hour for delivery. I'm glad they're busy because I want them to stay open, I just wish they'd maybe schedule a few more people on shift during lunch. :)

I've been here once and will probably be back! I must say I'm guilty of saying "No" to this place on several occasions when asked if I wanted to go there, in my defense I had no idea how great you guys really are. The boyfriend had mentioned to eat here sooooo many times, and quite honestly i don't exactly know why I kept saying no to this place, y'all are great! The ambiance is pretty neat, the little dragon that comes out when it's someone's birthday is quite epic. You guys nailed the birthday celebration here. The food was delicious! Everything was great, from the service to the food. Great great great! Will be back! :)

I agree with a couple other viewers - not worth the wait whatsoever. In all my travels, going to a "Combo" type place - Sushi/Chinese, Thai/Sushi is always fraught with peril. This place is no different. But, going on a tip from some friends, we schlepped there in the rain one night. We had to cool our heals in their dark, sort of skeevy lobby for 45 minutes or so. When we were seated, there was a surprising number of empty tables, given the wait. The place was loud and had the ambiance of a cafeteria, or low end buffet joint. And how can I describe the crowd? Young, Loud, and the types that probably couldn't tell the difference between good Thai food from low end Chinese takeout. I forget what the others ordered, or even what we had as appetizers. Whatever it was it was unremarkable. I found reading the menu sort of a confusing chore, and a validation for my notion that these combo restaurants are never a good choice. Opting for what I thought was a safe choice at a "Thai" place, I picked Pad Thai. What I got looked like a manatee may have vomited on my plate. It wasn't great. It wasn't even good. It was just...there. Greasy, stringy, and kind of smelly. There are many, many better Sushi options in Plano, and more than a couple really good Thai places. If you want food like this you can hit any number of "Asian" buffets around or hit Kroger for some add-water-heat and eat.

I LOVE their Happy Hour! My usuals are the Shrimp Tempura Roll, the Teriyaki Wings, the Calamari, the Heaven Beef, Chicken Satay and their Cosmopolitan. The atmosphere is great. If it's your birthday, the staff comes out in a huge Japanese dragon and sings for you, gets the whole restaurant involved, pretty cool! Now, if you happen to miss Happy Hour, get the Combination Drunken Noodles...you will LOVE it!

I don't really go to Zenna much since my diet has changed, however they are still a favorite spot for getting together with friends. Their food is good, not great, but people are generally very happy there which makes an enjoyable evening out.

Tim behind the bar is awesome. The specials are great, the rolls are pleasing to the eye and the palette. I recommend the spider and the dragon rolls. Honorable mention to the cajun roll and the teryakyi chicken skewers.

3 1/2 stars if that was an option... I think there are several good things about this spot and a couple of things that make it just alright! The parking is horrible and there's a hotel 6 right behind the restaurant so I feel like I could get mugged any time I go late night lol, also I it doesn't seem very clean the bathroom kinda grosses me out but I am pretty OCD! The prices are great and so is the happy hour, I love that you can eat and drink here till 3 in the morn, great spot to chill and get your swerve on and the food is pretty decent for the price. Love the heavenly beef, spring rolls and the chicken pad thai, it always comes out hot and fast!

I give this five stars on the happy hour alone. Can't beat dollar beer and three dollar rolls. Great happy hour menu throughout the dining room as well. Not just at the bar. The great prices allow you to try everything on the menu.

Giordan C.
This place hands down has one of the best happy hours around! If I could I would be here 3x's a week. Every time I come I have to get the shrimp tempura roll it's like little bits of heaven with angle sauce drizzled over them. You also have to dry the crispy spring rolls, they are always good and the dip they give you is even better. I call it honey water only because idk the real name lol. With those and the drink specials they have you can't go wrong. I recommend the Long Island, can't beat it for $3!

Regina J.
The food here was great. I like how it was a Thai and Japanese restaurant. The bartender Paul was able to accommodate my request for a spicy margarita. Pleasantly surprised by how far they will go to celebrate a guest birthday, I would surely destroy my friends if any of them had me go there for my birthday, knowing a giant dragon and drums were apart of the festivities.

Went here for a late dinner for the 1st time. First of the hours are awesome. 11am-3am. Huge menu of Japanese & Thai food, very reasonably priced. I discovered and went for the authentic menu. I always ask, and this time they actually have one. The food was great. Service was prompt. I noticed the table next to me was celebrating a birthday, and the brought out the Lion dance! Yes, a freaking lion dance! It was pretty cool. I'll definitely come back to try out other items on the menu.

I really do love this place. Service was phenomenal. Very inexpensive if you come during lunch and/or happy hour. Amazing specials for food and drinks. I'm took my coworkers whom have never been here to come try it and they loved it too. My strategy for making it a weekly lunch place may have worked!

Disclaimer: The following statement had no impact on the review of the food and service itself. However, it's important I say this. For this dinner, I used a credit card that rarely ever gets used (last used 2 weeks ago online on Southwest). I decided to use it here, and I was alerted by my bank a few days later about an unauthorized transaction made at 5 AM at Hollister for quite a bit of money. Obviously I've cancelled my card at this point. We were eating in a large group with multiple waiters, so I'm not going to blame anyone here. However, I know some restaurants have started to adopt a "pay at the entrance/exit" type deal, and I can see why now. I recommend you do that here. Anyways, let's get down to business. This review is for the Dinner Menu. Service: B Came with a large group of 15+ people, which demanded multiple waiters of course. Luckily it was a weeknight, so it wasn't too busy. Everything was good in regards to what was offered. Ensuring drinks were refilled, answering questions we had on dishes, and just making sure everything was being ran okay. Some restaurants have issues with getting back your receipts, especially if everyone orders separately. However, they were on prompt and things ran smoothly. Side note: It was someone's birthday, and the celebration they have is a mix of borderline funny, while still lacking enthusiasm from the employees who participate in it. Entrees: C+ Drunken Noodles: Despite the name, there is no alcohol content in the dish. I had my dish served with chicken and a spice level of 3/5, which I found to add just enough. For any South Asians, you can easily go 4, and try your luck with 5 if you want. Anyways, I found the noodles and chicken themselves to be enjoyable. However, the rest seemed to be a bit lacking. Vegetables were cooked well, but there was no taste coming out of them. Neither from the vegetable itself or any herbs or spices that were put on it. It seemed like it had all been concentrated to the noodles themselves. I do have a complaint about the tomatoes though. While the majority were sliced to eatable portions, there were at least three pieces that were chunks big enough to cover my entire spoon. It clearly overwhelmed me when I took a bite out of it. Portion size was alright. A bit on the pricier end, but not by much. With that being said, my past reviews have dictated that I enjoy eating Thai food. I understand this is more of a mainstream mass appeal approach, but if you're looking for a more pure taste, look somewhere else. For what its worth, those who ordered sushi seemed to enjoy it. Unfortunately, I didn't get a bite in, so I'll never know until next time what it's like. Conclusion: So there you have it. Only one dish tried, and I thought it was alright. Service was good, but not great. Food was decent, nothing special. Overall though, I certainly would not mind coming back here if someone asked me to tag along. 3/5

I really liked the fact that you can take a group of your friends and get practically any Asian food you want here. Now was it quality Asian food? Well its practical Thai, Japanese, and Chinese food I guess you can say, meaning it wasn't bad nor was it great to any extent. I would frequent this place more if it was near my work and because prices are pretty decent here at Zenna!! Sushi rolls are typical and there are the main and even different types of sushi rolls that you can try from Zenna!

This place has THE BEST happy hour in Plano/Richardson area, but even that is not what keep me and my sister coming back. It is....wait for it....Their vegetarian options, you can substitute tofu for any of their sushi rolls! Sold! Sold! Sold!

Besides the circling the parking lot several times to find a parking space, the food and customer service was excellent
In all fairness, I used to love their food. I ordered my usual Tom Kha it tasted strange and had a 1/4 of a cup of cooking oil on the top of the soup. Then my friend ordered his usual Beef Pad Thai, it was disgusting. The manager told him, she tasted his dish and it was good, and that his taste buds are not working. Very unprofessional. This manager said some other offensive things. After being seated we waited 10 min. for our server, then over 30 min. for our food. Not that it really matters, but they changed the decor, and I personally like the original design and colors better. They used to have gray and blush color, very classy and trendy. Now it has tacky yellow and blue geometric patterns on the wall.

ANYONE WITH DIETARY RESTRICTIONS OR FOOD ALLERGIES SHOULD NOT EAT HERE. I have been a vegetarian for 11 years and I also have a few health conditions so I have to be careful with everything I eat. I have ordered the Lad Na from here several times, in person and on the phone. The first time I ordered it, I confirmed many times that it contained no meat. Ever since then, I have ordered it several times. Every single time I say "completely vegetarian, including no meat broth" and if they don't seem to understand then I repeat this very clear. Most of the time they would even read this back to me and agree. Tonight when ordering the same dish and saying the same thing I always say, when it arrived I noticed a gelatin-like substance (after already eating a decent amount of it). I called them and they seemed confused what I was talking about all together. The girl put a manager on the phone and he asked me a lot of questions before finally admitting that it did have meat broth in it. I asked what type and he originally told me fish, then after a few seconds said he needed to go ask the chef, he then came back and said chicken broth. He goes on to tell me that it always has this in there. Then instead of offering to return my money, he offers to put a $10 credit on there for next time I call, which I have no idea why they would think I will ever eat there again. I had always gotten a little sick after eating this but I figured I was just having a sensitive stomach to something else in there. Tonight after finding this out, I obviously got pretty sick. My boyfriend had to call back to get my money returned which they said will take 5 to 7 business days. Very upsetting that even though I was clear with so many people, I somehow consume something several times that could potentially put me in the hospital. Almost seems like they do this on purpose for whatever reason. Hopefully they record all phone calls and can listen to my calls and realize how clear I really was. If there had been an allergic reaction, they would have a lawsuit on their hands, lucky for them there's not much I can do (still going to look into this though). Very disappointing, I hope nothing worse happens to someone else. Everyone should just be aware that they might not be eating what they are told!

One of my favorite places. Gets very busy, the music sucks, and service is sometimes slow. But they have a nice happy hour sushi menu, consistently good food, and decent prices. I come here at least once a month. Expansive menu featuring Japanese and Thai is pleasant offering. Oh and they have very late hours which I love!

My second time trying Thai food and my first time trying Zenna. YUMMY~! I got the pad see eew with chicken. It was so good that I kept eating even though I was full and on the verge of becoming a little bloated. My mom got crunchy roll and volcano roll. It was pretty good. My dad got the pad Thai and he approved! That's saying something because he's a picky-eater.

This is my favorite place for moderately priced sushi rolls!!!! The quality and taste are quite consistent with each visit...I've been to this Plano location once and the Dallas location several times (both places seem comparable in quality and service). Usually a relaxing and pleasant ambiance with dim lighting; although, not surprisingly, it can get a little noisy when crowded during happy hour. I can easily recommend the Seagull roll and Dragon or Lizard roll, but pretty much every roll that I've tried has been delicious. My husband is always pleased with his choice of Drunken Noodles. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants in the area, and I plan on returning again and again.

I have dined at Zenna well over 100 times, and if the few reviews I've written about them say anything, it's that their quality of service seems to change almost as frequently as their management. But my experience there last night was unlike any other thanks to a server named Lyn who I had not seen before. Lyn does not belong at Zenna, she belongs at Abacus or The French Room. How Zenna scored a server like her is beyond me. Lyn was perfect. She came out promptly after we were seated to say hello: she was easy to understand and very upbeat. Everything she did gave the impression that the quality of our experience was important to her. She brought our drinks quickly. When taking orders she asked all the right questions to make sure everything came out just as we wanted it. When the lamb chops weren't out yet, she noticed it before we did and said she'd go check on them. She knew one person in our party did not like spicy, so when bringing the Tom Kha Soup (sharing size), she proudly proclaimed that this one would be "just the right spicy" for the spice-lovers, but not too much for the others. She was dead-on! She was always quick to refill drinks and clear plates we set aside. The icing on the cake, which I always appreciate, is that she put the pasta in a to-go box for us. I strongly dislike being left with boxes and bags to take care of myself, and her doing this for us table-side was nice. (I actually prefer this to taking it back in the kitchen because I can see it the whole time and know how it is laid out in the box (e.g. lots of liquid so don't turn sideways). Our order last night consisted of: Lamb Chops - Served with moderately bland mashed potatoes, but the meat was delicious and perfectly tender. Chilean Sea Bass - They did such a good job on this. Slightly crispy on the outside, hot enough to burn just a bit, but bursting with flavor. Tuna Tar Tar - Tasted fresh, came out fast, very good dish. Family-Size Tom Kha Soup w/ Chicken - Mildly spiced with the lightest kick, everyone enjoyed it. Heavy on the liquid-to-stuff ratio, I'd probably ask for extra mushrooms or more chicken next time. Retro Roll - Delicious and probably the best deal on their rolls. It's basically a Philadelphia roll topped with salmon and white tuna. They serve it with fresh jalopeno which you may not enjoy, but it's easy to take off. Tuna Roll - Hard to go wrong here. Hawaiian Pasta Chicken - I thought it was a little too saucy but the person who ordered it liked it. I guess I wasn't in a pineapple mood. Great food, great service, great prices. At least this time!

Zenna is a quirky mix of Japanese, Thai, and Lounge Lizard, with good happy hours, free wifi, and serving food till 3am. I like the spirit of this place. They play contemporary pop music, sometimes with flashing blue disco lights at the bar, giving it a charmingly cheesy quality that you only seem to find in non-American establishments that try really hard to cater to American tastes. They really hustle here; they have an extensive menu with great happy hour deals, and they're open later than anyplace in the area. The dining room is big and spacious, tastefully decorated, and the booths are huge and can easily seat 6 people in comfort. They have the best tom kha gai in this area. Pungent, delicious, without any chicken in it (which I always find tasteless and boring), and without the woody galanga roots that you normally have to cautiously pick around. Just pure vegetably, brothy, coconutty goodness, perfectly seasoned. You get a cup of this soup automatically with your lunch dish. They have very good curries, a great Thai peanut dish (I prefer the pork-- tasty, lean and tender), and some pretty nice sushi options. It's probably not the best at anything (go to Royal Thai or Chow Thai for near-perfect Thai) but it's consistently good, and very satisfying. They serve beers in those tall mini-keg dispensers, at ridiculously cheap prices. They also have a lot of good little snacks. I like the "Seagull Roll" (horrible name, tasty flavor) but I'd avoid the ribs, which are very fatty and gristly, and seem to be of the lowest quality cut. They have good free wifi, and 3 tables where you can plug in: the 2 large booths in the corner near the plug, or the small table nearest the kitchen (you have to reach around the curtain to plug in). I always get a slight feeling from a couple of the female waitresses that they don't like us staying there for hours taking up a table, but hey-- we always buy plenty of stuff, and we don't work there when it's too busy. We've had business meetings here and spent many an afternoon enjoying their happy hour mini-kegs while working on our laptops. I love this place and I'm even starting to enjoy the cheesy music. I wish it wasn't so close to Central Expressway though, as it makes sitting on the patio nearly impossible due to the noise.

I went here with a group of friends for a birthday. It was around 4 so I'm guessing we missed the lunch crowd and avoided the dinner fiascoes. We had no problem at all with the service and our table of 7. The waitresses were all very nice and refilled our drinks quickly. They have a happy hour that includes alcohol and dollar sushi from 3-7pm I believe. I ordered Beef Pad Ba-Mee (N4) while my boyfriend ordered Pork Pad King Sod (E6). It was happy hour so he also ordered a Shiner which was $.50. It came in a very small glass and was disappointed with that so he tried a Long Island ($3). It was very watered down and also disappointing. The food, however, was definitely a hit with everyone. Mine had a lot of meat and large mushrooms sliced in it. The oyster sauce was great and not overpowering. His meal was also very tasty.. especially if you love ginger. I got to steal a couple of bites. For the birthday girl, they played drums and had a dragon. They also served her a pretty dessert of fried banana slices with ice cream donning a candle. It was really good. The banana 'crust' had coconut fried in it giving it a nice texture and taste. I only wish I could have eaten more! I plan on going back and trying the sushi or some other dishes.

Came here a few weeks ago and boy we didn't even get to sit down. A group of came before us and asked for 8 but only 4 was there. We waited for the hostess to get off the phone. We looked at her but she kept on talking on the phone. After 5 minutes, we asked can we get seated, she said your table isn't ready yet, we said you don't even know how many is in our group since you haven't acknowledged us since you been on the phone the whole time. My group raised a fit and left. This was bad on their part since I told my friends to try this place out, the food is decent here. So this place needs to have adequate host or hostess for the lack of decent thai food in the plano area.

Really 2.5. Maybe someone at Zenna is reading the reviews here. Service was very attentive... so attentive we felt rushed to order our entrees and they were delivered before we even finished half our appetizers. I guess the upside of that was nearly unlimited and frequent refills of our soda and iced tea (which was tasty). Corn patties were a bit overdone for me. As I said, we order lettuce wraps but never had a chance to eat them before the entrees were thrust upon us. We'll see if they are any good as a leftover in tomorrow's lunch. My companion was happy with his chicken teriyaki (how does one F*ck that up?) and white rice. I had the combo pad thai. There was plenty of tasty chicken, beef and shrimp, but I could nt find any tofu and I agree with another Yelper that the sauce was too sweet. Having said that, I bet I would be much less critical if I was experiencing all this at 2am after a night of partying rather than the dinner hour. I like the decor and the concept. Wish the rest fell into place.
(3)Jen L.
I went during happy hour and I thought everything was meh. I tried their chicken yakitori which wasn't good. Their rolls are okay. Edamame was overcooked at times. Mix drinks were watered down not great. The happy hour price is good, but I wouldn't really want to come back. The service was a bit slow too and I'm saying this because I've been a waitress at a sushi restaurant before. I actually felt like our server was lazy. The employee's were nice though.

Been there twice. Once was nice (calming interior, interesting space, the food and service were good). Once was a total hellhole experience. As another poster said "tuner car convention from hell", with spilling, shouting at the top of lungs, yelling, hitting, screaming, ** spitting on the floor **, and general douchebag behaviour. And that was just the girls. The guys were hat-on-sideways baggy pants morons even more violent and loud. There was a "serve yourself" beer urn on the table that I will assume was filled many times before we got there. I will be gracious and assume these were UTD students on a Very Serious Binge rather than a home-invasion gang getting liquored up for the night's action. This was a 8pm, it wasn't 2am or something like that. We will never, ever go there on a weekend again. The amount of noise and disruption was such that I am surprised nobody called the police.

A Thai/Sushi restuaruant that opens until 3 am and delivers! Thai restaurant that also serves sushi/sashimi and Chinese dishes.. The food isn't fancy or anything but it's good for the price. This place is open from 11am - 3am EVERYDAY and will deliver within a 5 mile radius (with minimum $ order)...and they also have a great happy hour menu. If it's your birthday, the staff will come out with a a big thai drum wearing masks and a traditional dragon costume to sing happy birthday to you. The waiter was slow, but it's probably because we went on a Friday night which is usually packed.

The service is definitely horrible. We went twice thinking the service would be better the second time around... yeah not so much. The food is decent i have had better but it's pretty good for the price. The fried rice is really good MMM. but i didnt think the sushi was all that great. but like i said... its good for the price. An average price per person should be about $20-25 depending what you get and how much you get of course. They have a little patio area which is nice but not for people watching (I'm a huge people watcher) the patio over looks 75 so its GREAT for car watching. 2 stars for bad service. 3 stars for food. 3 star for atmosphere.

I love the dessert and the thai food here. grest place good price. Great bartender n waitstaff. will come back again.
(4)KC L.
Can't really comment too much on the food because we usually start at happy hour and after a few beers, sakes, and sake bombs it's hard to judge the food. Got to say the happy hour prices are ridiculously low but when the happy hour ends that place clears out faster than a Cowboys game in the 4th quarter ;) The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is quaint. They recently opened another location downtown which has a really nice outside seating area.

Went their with a couple of friends for happy hour and had sushi and fried rice. The taste was good, nothing extra-ordinary. The atmosphere was pretty eclectic and fun. The place was packed at that particular thursday night.

I have been to Zenna Thai a few times. The first time was the worst time, It was a Friday night. The Dinner Crowd was hot and heavy as expected. The husband ordered a pad see eew with chicken,Mild. I ordered a spicy Thai fried rice with beef. My Husband was not happy with his order as he received a SPICY chicken dish when he specifically ordered mild chicken. I was quite satisfied with my order. I attempted to go a few other times I wasn't knocked off my feet. Once again the food was OK. Not Fantastic. Service again was poor.

So another Asian fusion restaurant... The neon sign that enticed me to try it? Open till 3 AM! Where else do you find that in Plano? The place was almost full when my hubby and I arrived on a Friday night. The dinner crowd was a great mix of folks from every color of the rainbow to every age bracket. More on the bar crowd below. The decor was simple yet elegant in its simplicity and did not offer the same nauseating decor that you would normally find in the Richardson Chinese/Vietnamese restaurant corridor. In trying new restaurants, I always order the tried and true dishes first. After all, if they can't make a pretty typical dish, what more for the more complicated ones? So on I go to ordering the pad thai (I told you I would go typical!) , mussaman curry with chicken alongside some nigiri (salmon, tuna, smelt roe) and some rolls (California, spider, dragon). The pad thai was so sweet that I could hardly finish it. Where was the hint of tamarind in that dish? The mussaman curry was a non-event and lacking that oomph that authentic Thai dishes are known for. The rest of the sushi that I mentioned above - all extremely ho-hum just like all the other sushi joints one can find driving up and down 75. Unfortunately for other authentic Asian food die-hards, the dishes served here are more for novices. Yes, it is fusion but where's the lemongrass and galangal and chilies that loudly pronounce and define Thai cooking? The thing is - this place would be ok with ho-hum food; after all, they know who they want to cater to and it's not native Thais or else they wouldn't make it part of the fusion craze. And if I am hungry enough, I will go back. But when you have me waiting well over 15 minutes EACH time just to place my order, get a refill on my water, get my check and run my card, that's pushing the limits on my "fusion" patience quotient. And the bar crowd that night? A tuner car convention from hell! That or Karma wasn't open yet! Zenna is not in the chicest part of Plano but I didn't expect the whole bar to be littered with drunk gangster wanna-bes all screaming and high fiving at the top of their lungs - and they were just talking! The crazier part is management appeared to have been ok with it. I know the other dining patrons were uncomfortable with how "douchebaggy" they were. If that is the usual bar crowd every weekend, I hope Zenna makes a choice on who can pay their bills better - the diners or the saggy posse. I would have stuck just one star but the food was ok - no ever died from having ok food and the decor was modern. The service, authenticity and crowd control could have been better. All in all, an ok time just like the food. See you there after hours!

So I have been a big user of yelp but never put a review up. However I was feeling bad about being selfish so here is the first one. This is my favorite late night Thai spot, and by favorite, I mean the only one I know of. As it is open to 3am and delivers til 3am I find myself making up reasons to order from this place. Now I have tried their sushi, pad thai, and they were ok. However the ONLY reason they are getting a 5 is for their red chicken curry. I am a HUGE fan. Not badly priced, if you order delivery you get enough for two meals.
(5)Sarah S.
Loved this place. I didn't know what to expect, but superior food and wonderful friendly service is what I got! I will become a regular here!
(5)Darryl L.
Came here at the suggestion of a friend. Trying to find a Thai place and asked a friend who happens to be from Thailand. She suggested Zenna and said it has the most authentic food in the area. Parking is a little tough. There doesn't seem to be enough parking for the restaurant and the Motel 6 which is right behind it. Arrived at 8:00 and still had to wait for about 15 minutes. The tables were full with couples, families, and some parties. There is a full bar and a sushi bar. Saw that during happy hour there are $0.50 beers! Maybe that's why our friend loves this place. It seems that as with all other Asian restaurants in the area, there needs to be some type of Sushi aspect. No different here. I had the green curry. My wife had the red curry. We ordered a "tuna tower" like thing to share. The tuna tower, uninspiring with not much flavor. If I didn't have it, I wouldn't have missed it at all. The curry was great. Good flavors, complex with curry, coconut milk, herbs. I had chicken and they give you a good amount. I could have used more rice, but that's what happens when you're asian, rice with everything. This is absolutely going to make it into the rotation. It may have to be the downtown one since we live in Dallas. I'm excited to try the other dishes other people have suggested.
(4)E N.
Definitely not going back. The place is ok, but the food is pretty awful. Seems like they just pour a whole bunch of sugar and fish sauce into their food. All the dishes I ordered were just too sweet and weird. If you are looking for a good Thai and Japanese restaurant, you probably don't want to choose this place.
(1)Ryan B.
Is it a bar? Or a restaurant? A club? Or a sushi bar? Fish market or meat market? Can't tell. Weekend night during happy hour, it's totally packed because they do Happy Hour prices *in the entire restaurant*. The sushi is totally Meh, but for what you pay, it's not bad. Load up on booze and it won't matter. You have to be really assertive with the staff to get their attention they're so busy. Parking is a total beating though. The bartenders are long-timers, so if you have an option, sit at the bar. The clientelle is nice, a bit younger (late 20s, early 30s) than the "serious" sushi places, and mostly there for the cheap drinks and cheaper fish flesh.
(3)Chase N.
This place is great. They brought out complimentary lemon and coconut milk soup that was delicious. I got the garlic chicken bento box and my girlfriend got the pad thai. Both were good, especially paired with a nice Singha thai beer. I recommend this place if you want good food in a quiet casual atmosphere. Also, nice outdoor patio with lots of shade. I hope they're dog friendly!
(5)Jennifer V.
My boyfriend and I go here once about every two or three weeks. He LOVES their Tom Yum Noodle Soup, which is surprising considering the fact that he's thee pickiest eater on earth. I generally get the Pad See Ew w/ Shrimp because it's delicious. I love their food here, however service = eh. Most of the servers we had pay attention at the beginning to greet but then they tend to drift off to some other place. We always know what we want but they take FOREVER just to come check up on us. Overall, food is awesome, service is okay.
(3)Krysta B.
Ok so I am so sad to give this place only 3 stars, truth is, the food was great and I really enjoyed the atmosphere of Zenna, but the service was horrible. I have heard so many good things about this place over the last couple months, and i was very excited to go and try it out. So I went last night for my 25th Birthday with a small group of friends around 5pm to enjoy their amazing happy hour that I had heard so much about, and it was great! Their happy hour menu was awesome, I ordered several discounted sushi rolls off the menu, and they had 50 cent Drafts (6oz) and they also offered (not on the happy hour menu) $1 draft beers (12oz). The happy hour menu said they had Shiner on tap, but when I asked about it our waitress (who we had a little bit of trouble understanding) kept saying they didn't have it, they only had bud light and something else we never understood (but it sounded alot like shiner bock, lol). Anyways. The drinks came out quickly, and she took our order quickly, and then we didn't see her for quite a while. Finally our food came trickling out of the kitchen, and everyone at the table got served before me and I ended up waiting for my meal for about 20 minutes, which was very disappointing. The shrimp tempura roll I ordered was delicious when it finally got there, but from that point on, if we needed our server she was no where to be found. We then waited forever to order more drinks, and it took (we timed her) an additional 30 minutes to bring them to us. at that point we were getting very frustrated. Then, when we got our bill, she had overcharged us $8 each for what we understood to be $2 well drinks for happy hour, when we specifically asked her if it was what was on the happy hour menu and qualify. She argued with us a bit, and I asked to talk to the manager, and she refused for a moment, saying she had already talked to her. I finally got her to get the manager over, told her I was unhappy with my birthday experience, that the service had been terrible thus far and that we had tried to be patient and now with the drink mix up I was very upset. She then made excuses for her servers saying one didn't show up, or got caught in traffic, and they were short staffed (even though all the tables around us were being served promptly and was service was moving along for them) and then she explained why it was our fault that we were over charged $16 dollars total for 4 drinks, and made a joke about it must be my 21st birthday since we didn't know how to order drinks, which I corrected her and said we specifically asked if the drinks were the happy hour special and she said that her server was the one who didn't drink much and didn't understand it didn't apply and finally said she would take care of it only because it was my birthday and I would know for next time. Anyways. It was sort of a fiasco. But the food was Delicious. I don't know that I would go back for any sort of special event, but I would go back to take advantage of the happy hour drinks and sushi that I enjoyed as long as I have ALOT of time on my hands and feeling very patient.
(3)Bryan W.
If you are anywhere close to a sushi-aholic as I am you will get craving for some after 11 at night. Why not come here? Decent sushi, and good drinks. Till 2-3 in the morning. Excellent idea if you ask me.
(4)Phanna L.
the food is good...sushi is good...price is good for most of their dishes but some are a lil over priced for some of their dishes....but still it's a nice place to hang out any day of the week since their open like everyday and really late to...till 3:00am i think.....over all i enjoy going there with friends, family.....
(3)Nancy E.
The only reason this place has the 1 star is because it will not let me give it a ZERO! We ordered for a late night delivery on our wedding night and were staying at the near by Renaissance Hotel, who recommended the place as their room service stopped serving at 11 and it was now 1 am. We called and made an order to a man who was VERY rude on the phone. I couldn't believe the delivery time for us, not even a mile away, was 45 minutes but we had no other options at that hour and were starving! The food NEVER came! After an hour, I called back to get the rude man again who was BLAMING ME saying his driver was trying to get a hold of me. I had ZERO missed calls. He said he'd tell the driver to go back to the lobby. My new husband went down there to wait. 30 minutes later, he comes up with NO FOOD. There was nobody there. I tried calling and calling and this man would literally pick up the phone and hang up without a word. To add insult to injury they charged us! I called back and spoke with a manager who profusely apologized saying she'd buy us dinner. We were headed back out of town as we no longer live in Dallas so she said she'd mail us a $50 gift card to apologize that we could use the next time we were in town to see family, as well as refund our credit card. NOTHING happened. The credit was never issued and a gift card NEVER came to us in the mail. I will NEVER go back to this place and if anyone recommends it to us again, I'll tell this whole crappy story. This was nothing short of theft, not to mention a terrible way to end one's wedding night. NEVER AGAIN!

These people have misleading pricing on their menu. If you go there, once you receive your bill, request to have the menu back. They overcharge their customers and that is how they make money. They have no integrity what so ever. After I received the bill and noticed that I was overcharged for every items I ordered, I asked for the manager. The manager shows up and he looked like a high school student who barely spoke English. He was speaking over me and giving excuses why the price was higher. All he could say is that there is a sign at the front stating that the prices have increased and that the price has increased for over a year now. I asked him why they never updated their menus with their new prices and they said that they ordered new menus and it is being shipped (which is a lie). I asked for the owner. He went in the back and came back saying that the owner said he was busy and that I should pay the bill as stated so no need for negociation. I told him that I was not going to pay until the prices on the bill matched the prices listed in the menu. Then the manager started to threaten me that he will call the cops. During the conversation, a young lady comes in and whispers in his ear. Then the manager asked me to sit tight and that he will be back. 5 minutes later, two cops walked in. That manager called the cops on me because he could not adjust that bill according to what they advertise on their menu. I explained that to the cop and the cop asked the manager to give me back the difference in cash and he ended up honoring the price on the menu. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.... Do not step in to that restaurant. If you do, please check your bill. They will overcharge you. Worse service ever. The managers are completely uneducated.

Haven't had the sushi, I usually get one of the curry dishes. Curry is always good. Prices are good. Stays open until 3am !! Yea, after-club spot. Oh yea, good/lively atmosphere.
(4)Sommer W.
I have driven by this place a THOUSAND times! The idea of Japanese and Thai is appealing, since i love both, but I just couldn't imagine a restaurant doing both well. I even stopped one night over a year ago for a menu, but for some reason, at that time, it didn't seem like a good enough spot to spend my hard earned money and sushi time! (I was still spoiled from living in California, I think) Last week, I promised my mom sushi, and so off we went. We had another destination in mind, but it was further away and so I just decided it was time to try this spot. Walked into the dining room and was impressed by the decor. Authentic without being campy. They were playing Top 40 hits, not Japanese music, which also drew me in. The cute guys at the bar having drinks didn't hurt either! ;) We sat down and were immediately brought some Tom Kha soup and our drinks! WOW! I didn't even know what I was ordering yet! The selection was so diverse and it all sounded good, so it took us awhile to order! We ended up with a blend of Thai and sushi- the best of both worlds, if you ask me, and the price was AWESOME! It was lunch, so I'm sure it's a bit pricier at dinner, but I already have plans to check out the dinner menu tomorrow night, so I'll let you know if it is anything less than worth it, which I doubt! Stellar service, stellar food, stellar prices! Awesome find!! (We eneded up with Yellow Chicken Curry Bento Box, a Philly Roll, White Tuna Nigiri, a Louisiana roll- amazing!- gyoza, a cup of soup each, and a tea each! GREAT DEAL and I have dinner left over!)
(5)Rosezanna S.
I'm not an expert on Thai food but I really enjoyed lunch here with my friend. The atmosphere was quite and tranquil. Had the lunch special which was all inclusive. The soup was especially good. I ordered the Calamari as an appetizer and I have to say it was the best I've ever had. I will go back just for that.
(4)Bonnie M.
I love love love love love Zenna's food but not their service. I went here few times after long night at work (I used to work as server). We ordered from thai menu. Food are excellent! I love their duck soup :) Don't forget to let your server know that today is your birthday... They will celebrate with dragon dance complete with drums and dancers.
(4)Rebecca M.
Great late night hours! I have never had anything bad, or average here. The Thai peanut with chicken is to die for and the sushi is excellent. Service is very consistent and fabulous. They have a great drink menu and their happy hour specials are awesome. This is my favorite restaurant in the Metroplex, hands down. Try the Heaven Beef...It's addictive!
(5)Jenny M.
I love to go their happy hour i think started at 3pm end at 7pm. It is a good place to kick it with your friend. I never order sushi there. their sushi was ok not that great but with their appetizer it was awesome. If you want to go Zenna for happy hour, just order the appetizer or the Thai food because that is their specialty. If you are a sushi person then suggest you go a real Japanese restaurant. Enjoy it.
(4)Julie D.
Not a fan. First time there and likely not going back for a long, long time. A friend raves about the place, but he's not that picky....like MOI! :D Anytime there's a mix of different cuisines, I'm a bit skeptical....Thai AND Japanese? Hmmmm, I think not! If you're going, I would go for the Happy Hour sushi and drinks after 3pm. The place was busy when we went so it's popular. Frankly, I don't think the hype is worth it...at all. Ordered: Sushi - Spicy tuna roll, rainbow roll, and shrimp tempura rolls. If you're a sushi snob, this is not the place to go. Mediocre sushi...thank goodness I paid the happy hour price for 2 of the rolls. The rainbow roll at $11.25 was overpriced for the way it tasted. Pad Thai - wayyy to sweet for my taste. It should be sour and just a little sweet. Tasted like dessert noodles if there ever was such a thing. Tom Yum Soup - it was alright, they didn't skimp on the shrimps so that's good. Fried rice combination - had beef, chicken, and shrimp, the person that ordered it liked it okay...she said it was like any other fried rice. Last but not least, there was a birthday girl or boy in the next booth. All of the sudden, we see people in Chinese Dragon suit singing happy birthday with the waiters, also with loud, clanging sound effects...ughh...I may have been in a bad mood because it was clanging right into my ear and I thought it would never, ever stop. So it's chinese/thai/japanese. IF I go back, probably going to stick with the thai cuisine more than anything. I want to give it 2.5 stars because I can't bring myself to give it 3 stars.
(2)Cali H.
Sushi roll is okay. Sashimi is pretty good. It's fresh. I know sushi places that are way better. But the Thai food is excellent. Yellow curry is my fav. And I also like their lamp chops for a good snack after drinking. They open late and that's awesome!
(2)bradley s.
When there last night and waited forever for everything. To order a beer took 15 min. Food was good, but nothing special. The space was a little funky but more in a cheap way than a cool way. This place has 50 cent beers at happy hour (3-7) and stays open till 3am. That's the only special thing. When I walked to be seated, there was two women who where yelling at one another at the bar....too many 50 cent beers.........A parade of 12 people came out with gongs, masks and a dragons head to sing happy birthday......
(2)Josh M.
This is a place when you go to if you're drunk and need some food. If I weren't sober this place would be getting 5 stars. Its open late and the food is decent. There pad see yew is probably the best dish. Curries are decent but small portioned and the other noodle dishes are made of the ramen noodle package. i have yet to try and eat their sushi ...it usually looks dry but who knows. This place is open late which is rare in Plano
(3)Ken B.
I had the spicy ground meat pork boat with noodles and it was delicious. The prices are very reasonable, actually very low considering the quality of the food. The restaurant itself is very clean and it has a very lively and entertaining feel to it. Zenna's does't close until 3 AM which is great. I can't wait to eat there again!
(4)Aziz J.
Worse service in the world!!! Manager had the nerve to to tell me that " the customer is not always right!!!". Food was great. Service???? You be the judge!!!
(1)Steve P.
Wait staff is cheerful and prompt. Kitchen was busy (full parking lot and restaurant) and my meal took 25 minutes. Had the Green Curry initially. Not that great, and they messed it up, leaving in an ingredient I had asked to be omitted. It was flooded with curry and hot even though I had requested mild. So I switched to Pad See Eew and it was quite good, although the sweetness seemed over the top. The restaurant is very noisy and open and it is difficult to carry on a conversation. And the dragon parade for birthdays that others have observed... yep, just pure cheez, but fun... I would only come back here with a large group. The food is decent. And the Thai iced tea is always a hit with me at any Thai restaurant and this is no exception. For occasional Thai, this isn't bad.
(3)Tim S.
Based on delivery only. Good fresh sushi and yummy Thai delights. Been using them for years with no problems at all. They deliver late, too.
(4)Peter C.
I went to Zenna for a lunch meeting and initially had high hopes for it. The decor was modern and hip, while the materials used for the tables and such felt a little cheap, this was an under $10 restaurant, so I thought they should get props for good execution on a budget. The food was ok, at the price point of about $7 for a lunch box I can't really complain about the lack of taste for the Pad Thai except to say that the food by itself depending on the dish would be 2.5-3 stars. Since Sushi Sake is so close, I would not recommend ordering sushi here, even if it's $1-$2 cheaper at Zenna. HOWEVER, the service was simply horrible. The food took at least half an hour to be served and close to over an hour before I got my drink refill despite asking for it twice. I probably would have been better off at Chipotle or somewhere I could have refilled the drink myself.
(2)Phuong T.
I love this place, this is a thai restaurant with really good sushi. I've ordered pad thai and the volcano rolls here. The atmosphere is great, good service.
(4)Natalie S.
My husband and I eat here at least 2-3 times a month, as they deliver to our area and the food usually arrives within 30 minutes. Some of our usual favorites: the tulip dumplings, tom-kha kai (coconut chicken soup), drunken noodle, and red curry beef. We've had their sushi many times, and it's usually pretty fresh. They have some tasty desserts too; I especially like the black sticky rice with coconut custard. It's not super cheap, but you do get a lot of food for the money.
(4)John K.
I would go here because it was open late like after twelve late and wanted somewhere to eat and drink. This seemed liked a great place at first upbeat music large menu with a variety of asian food. I think that was the probablem they tried to do to much. Some of the sushi I had wasnt bad but I just couldnt stand the ones covered in some red mayo sauce. I tried thier rack of lamb, too dry and no flavor. Not the place for me late night or earlier.
(2)George T.
Great Thai-Japanese fusion place. They are open very late!
(5)Janine M.
Don't get me wrong I LOVE Zenna. Love love love the food and atmosphere which is why it pains me to give this place a 3 but I'm also a service girl (hey, stop those dirt thoughts!) so if the customer service isn't right, it takes away from a place. Usually it's pretty good but that last couple times I've gone have been ridiculous. I called in a togo order a few weeks ago and the girl who handled it when I got there had completely forgotten my order! Then, she screwed up with my card and I truly believe she was semi-retarded because she was very slow figuring out my order and when getting my food to me. Then, my bf and I go to the bar for drinks recently and a new bartender was working. He was having a good ol' time chatting it up with his buddies that were at the bar too and took a minute to see what we wanted. My bf ordered his drink and then I ordered mine. He brought him his and walked away so I figured he went to make mine. After 10 min of looking at the menu and still no Kaluah and cream for me, it was obvious that he had forgotten and we had to ask for it... We finally order food and after finishing my Kaluah & cream, I ordered a lemon drop. He looks confused like I had just ordered some crazy complicated drink and days ok, one lemon drop martini. I said, NO lemon drop shot, not martini. He looks confused again but goes off to make it. 10 or so mins later my bf and I are about to take our shots and BAM! I spit mine out. Since when is a lemon drop MINTY?!?!? We ask what's in it and he said lemon and Goldshläger. Wtf?!? Everyone and their mama knows a simple lemon drop is vodka, lemon juice and water! We tell him this and ask for a remake. He brings back a lemon drop sans lemon o.O I say just forget it. Then he pretty much ignores us the remainder of our stay. WTF Zenna?! Wtf.....
(3)Ron M.
This restaurant deserves 4 star for food, but the terrible experience I had with the hostess (Tina) compels me to give it a 1 star at best. We went here in the late afternoon around 3pm. The place was empty, with only 1 or 2 tables seated. There were a total of about 10 people in our party, but my wife and I were the first to arrive along with our 18 month old baby. Upon arrival, we asked the hostess for a table for 10. We never felt so unwelcomed at a restaurant ever before... the hostess had such a bad attitude.. NO smiles, TOTALLY UNprofessional, NOT a hint of the welcoming service you would expect from any mediocre hostess at an average restaurant. The hostess acted as if we were just lucky to be there, begging for a table. We waited for a few minutes for our table to be set up. And then.. here's the WORST part: she told us we can't be seated until half of our party shows up!!! Are you freaking kidding me??? I understand this policy if the restaurant was busy. But here we are at an empty restaurant, with my wife holding our hungry baby, and the hostess didn't have the common sense to get us seated? It's exactly like the scene from Meet The Parents when Ben Stiller was at the airport waiting to get on an empty flight and the gate agent told him he wasn't able to board until his zone was called. Seriously, is this just dumb or plain stupid? .. it was absolutely ridiculous! After some "words" with the hostess Tina, she hesitantly seated us. Trust me, if it hadn't been because I was expecting the rest of my party to arrive, I would have walked straight out of this "fine" establishment. I hope management would hire a more competent hostess. The food at this restaurant is great, but the bad / unwelcoming service is a huge turn-off that would ruin any decent meal.
(1)Anny N.
Zenna is a great place to eat especially if you are looking for something with late hours. My favorite things to eat here are the drunken noodles, green curry and spicy basil fried rice. I have eaten a few of the sushi selections, but the sushi here isn't my favorite. I would recommend trying the entrees versus the sushi. I have also been here for happy hour for $2 Sake and margaritas! What a great deal! The tapas and garlic crispy pork ribs aren't bad during happy hour for such an inexpensive meal. I didn't give them 5 stars because the service can be slow at times. They can get busy here especially on late night weekends. If you are looking for a good Thai dinner I would highly recommend this restaurant!
(4)Toni J.
I have zero complaints about a restaurant who is able to consistently put out an authentic, yummy Tom Kha Soup and Black Rice Custard dessert. So many Thai places I've been to are unable to turn out the same quality and flavor for my return visits. I know when I order Zenna, I'm getting exactly what I expect and that I'll enjoy it. I've ordered it over and over. Plus, I love that they deliver!
(4)Tina P.
Used to go here so much. Food isn't great, definitely not what I would call "real sushi" but since the customers are probably 50% UTD students, and said students consider any thing that includes imitation crab wrapped in rice and seaweed "sushi" it's not surprising that if you ask a student in this area where a good Japanese place would, they would say zenna. Don't come here expecting great sushi. I mean come on, they also serve thai and chinese food. It's asian FUSION. I've seen that to a lot of people, their idea of sushi involves california rolls doctored a million ways. What's great about this place then? It opens late. The food is decent. I would come here at 12 am and the food tastes as good as if you came at 12 pm. Lunch specials are really cheap. The noodle plates are huge and filling. Definitely enough for two to share. Never order the volcano roll. It looks essentially like vomit over california rolls. It's just like, maybe 5 pieces of chewy scallops in a sea of nasty greasy orange mayo sauce. Birthdays are pretty cool. Annoy your friends, tell the waiter it's their birthday secretly and watch an embarrassingly loud dragon dance display ensue. They also get a free dessert if I'm not mistaken. I'm surprised this place got a high rating as it did. But I guess, any place with mediocre food and rock bottom prices would score high in a college area. You can kinda judge the type of food a restaurant will serve by it's clientele. Here, it's filled all the time with wannabe classy peeps (why wear club get up to this place at 7pm?), locals out to get drunk, and a 20-30 something way too rowdy jersey shore lookalike crowd. Service is okay. You're talking to overworked, tired local students. They come and go like Texas weather so don't expect them to care if you yell at them for screwing up your order. I've never had problems, although I've heard of many incidents.

Usually like this place. Was hard to get service-- for myself and 3 other people that came in at the same time. Sushi rolls were falling apart and fish was tough

I have mixed emotions on leaving a review for this establishment. The food display inside is old looking and tacky. The restaurant has that mold smell by the bar. The wait staff has gotten better, at which at one point of time the only reason they were tolerates was for the food. I used to be in love with their Red Curry, but I've just cut out the whole experience by making it myself at home. If you're looking for mediocre happy hour sushi, I would recommend this place though. Also, be aware of parking-- I've had friends cars get damaged and towed before. They have signs hanging on the way towards the restroom about where to park, but in all honesty who sees those? The bathroom themselves are a whole other story. Can they be cleaned sometimes? Writing this made me remember why I haven't gone in such a long time.

I typically come here for dinner. They are open super late so it's a nice spot for us to go satisfy those late night cravings. The first time I came here, I came in a big group and we ordered a bunch of small plates from the hot tapas menu. Everything was pretty tastey. However, I did not like the lamb chops. They were way too gamey tasting for me. I've never had sushi here before so I can't comment on the sushi. I've heard it wasn't that great so I've stayed away from it. They are however, known for their Thai food. There's a separate Thai menu that serves authentic Thai food but you have to ask for this. I think its only in Thai too! I totally love their Yen Ta Fo (spicy seafood soup) which is what I typically order when I come here. It's such a comforting dish. I also love their Kao Tom (Thai Rice Soup). Both of these can be found on the Thai menu. What I recently discovered is their lunch menu! You can get a small lunch portion of their Thai entrees in a bento box which comes with soup, salad, eggroll and a california roll for anywhere from $5.95 - $9.95 depending on the type of meat(s) you choose. I think that's an awesome deal! They don't skimp on the portions either! My only complaint would be timeliness. I came for lunch and after ordering, I swear we waited a good 30 minutes for our food to come out from the kitchen. That's just way too long when business professionals allot an hour for their lunch break. It even took them forever and a day to run our checks. I must say the timing issue only occurred during lunch. When I came in for dinner, the wait for our food was not this bad! Maybe they don't have enough chefs in the kitchen? *shrugs* Just come when you can have a long lunch. My friend even asked for no tomatoes or onions and his food still came with it. The waitress told him she indicated no tomatoes or onions when submitting the order but yet the kitchen still put it in. I do agree with Jennifer T. their happy hour is awesome. Fair warning though - place gets PACKED! I don't blame people for wanting to come to get $2 sake, $4.50 sake bombs, $3 wine, $2 beers... not to mention hot tapas at around $3.50.

I've come here many times for their happy hour specials (daily until 7pm), but each time I go, the food gets worse. Most recently, I branched out to try their Pad Thai. As I usually get sushi when I come here, I wanted to try something new. If you look at the pic I posted, you can tell it was so incredibly lacking. There was no flavor whatsoever. It did have a hint of ketchup (??), but there was no cilantro/basil, no veggies, and the meat was so tough and chewy. I was so disappointed. We always get a Midnight Roll when we go, but the rolls keep getting smaller and smaller. I wouldn't come back here again. I wanted to like this place as it was a hang-out staple for my friends, but I'd rather spend my money elsewhere.
(2)Angie B.
It is good for what it is- cheap Asian bar food. I was a little disappointed in the sushi, but otherwise it is pretty solid.
(4)Amanda H.
Came here for lunch with co-workers. Their lunch special is definitely a steal. I got the green curry bento with rice, an eggroll, sushi, and a delicious peanut dressing salad. It also came with Tom Yum Soup, which was palatable as well. My coworkers also got the crab dip appetizer, which was normal fare. They also got the pad see ew and veggie stir fry bento boxes. (The noodle boxes get edamame instead of rice) For the most part, the polite and quick service and satisfying food made it a good place to eat for a nice lunch.
(4)Kristen G.
Only go for Happy Hour because that is when it is worth it. Cheap cheap beer and other drinks and ridiculously cheap sushi and apps. Now you have to order what they have from the Happy Hour menu if you want the deals, but they have a pretty big selection to please everybody. Sushi is great for the Happy Hour price. Calamari is the best!! Super thick pieces. Service is meh. Not super fast, but not ridiculously slow either. I'll pretty much only come for Happy Hour otherwise it isn't worth the price. I can make better sushi on my own for cheaper.
(4)Shikha P.
Cant beat the food, atmosphere, and happy hour specials. The ambiance is really nice and the prices unbeatable. Order the drunken noodles! You won't be disappointed! They can actually get to a scary spice level, the food is very authentic... the menu is the size of a book. They do deliver until 3:00 am which is an anomaly in North Dallas. They lost one star because I wish they had more hand crafted drinks, and when I have ordered from them for delivery or take out there were some packaging issues. But the management has always been very nice about addressing any concerns.
(4)Richard H.
Only reason I ever come is cause I'm back in Dallas during a late night with some hungry friends that will eat anything. I don't order anymore. Pros: Open Late. Big portions. Cons: Extremely greasy. Terrible service.
(2)Rishika R.
This is a great place for late nights. The food is very affordable and comes in generous portions. The lunch deals are great! I love the Thai peanut chicken, and the chicken fried rice.
(4)Emily F.
This is my favorite happy hour spot other than Kona. Parking lot is always full during HH (4p-7p), but there's another parking lot next door that is used too. It gets pretty busy, so wait service can get pretty slow. But prices, ambiance, and quality is good in my book. And they're open 'til 3AM almost everyday. Who can complain about that?
(5)Shams B.
This is a favorite late night eatery for my friends and I, but there are far better Thai/Japanese places and the service can be quite slow even when it isn't as busy. I know this is an odd thing to mention, but the chopsticks here suck. Flat out suck. I've had take out places give me better chopsticks and I always have a fear that a splinter will stab me in the mouth if I don't rub them together to take the shavings off.

I've been to the Zenna in downtown, food and service are decent. We recently move to Plano so decided to drop by the Zenna near the house. WORST decision ever!!!! Host walk us to our table, and we waited for 15 mins with out anyone approaching us. After 15-20 minutes of waiting, our waitress finally shows up! My husband told her we have been waiting for this long, her response was "they just told me about this table,anyways are you ready to order???" OMG! Without an apology or whatsoever. I forgot her name, but she has a loud voice and bad attitude. We ordered the pork ribs--- good Thai low Mein---good Caterpillar and dragon roll---- AWEFUL!!!! The eel was fishy... And the shrimp tempura inside the roll was stale and soggy. On top of that, I got a fly stuck into my Dragon roll!!! ( I don't need the damn extra protein) We normally don't complaint even if the service is horrible, but this time is a must. We asked for the manager, and the staff said he's out delivering??? (Why are u delivering????" Anyways, we told them what happened... And guess what?!?! The manager told the waiter to give us 10% discount instead of taking my rolls off the bill. Seriously?!?! You can keep your damn $4 discounts. AWEFUL AWEFUL AWEFUL worst worst service ever!!!!!! Keep up the bad management and your restaurant will be shut down.

I went there one time with my family for lunch. Had no choice but give this place one star for the worst Pad Thai ever. It tastes so.....so sweet , feel like there is a pound of sugar in my plate. Never return this place.
(1)Angelica N.
My first time here was on a double date with some friends. They had highly recommended it, and we were anxious to give it a try. We got there, and we had this amazing drink for four with long straws. I think it was called a flaming volcano...yummy! I had pineapple chicken fried rice, which was nothing short of delicious. The rice was cooked to perfection, and the chicken was tasty. The sushi was ok...it was good, but nothing to call home about. The one thing that bugged me about this place? The music was godawful...bad hip hop and techno seem out of place here. Otherwise, great place to eat, and LOTS of choices!
(4)Kristen D.
Excellent Thai food. I love that they have delivery and they even deliver sushi rolls. :) Yum. I have always received great service here and the meals are fair priced for the amount.
(4)Jordan S.
I tried the salmon sashimi, it was ok but not that fresh. The shrimp tempura roll was good, but I wasn't that impressed with the dragon roll, the sauce was a little too sweet and the rice too thick together. I also tried the fish salad it was very good as well as the service.
(3)Jasmine T.
This was the first stop for the limo ride that I had over the weekend for dinner/drinks. I only had the fried calamari, a few rolls, and some lychee sake. What threw me off was the dragon dance to celebrate the birthday girl. I thought, is this a Chinese restaurant? Thai? Japanese? It seems like this place is going through an identity crisis. The food was okay, but the ambiance was what made this place at least decent.
(3)Brooke S.
I love this place, but I have some constructive criticism. I'm starting this review with only 3 stars, but that's subject to change by the time I'm done :-D First of all, the food is wonderful. This place actually got me addicted to sushi (which I refused to eat until about a year ago. See, a good friend of mine roped me into going after a long night of drinking, and truth be told, I didn't even know what I was eating at first - you know, drunk munchies - and turns out it was fantasmo delight all up in my mouth. I'm sorry I doubted you, sushi : / ). I've since returned several times and the sushi is *very* fresh and there's a pretty large selection. The best thing is if you can't decide, you can choose the A, B, or C Sushi Platters and get a variety. The miso soup is also very good - hearty portion with big chunky vegetables. My favorite part about this place is probaby the chicken basil thai fried rice - it's very spicy and the flavor is just amazing! 3 stars is because it's hit or miss with the atmosphere, delivery, and service. Sometimes it's awesome - very chill and laid back; romantic, even! Other times, it's loud and full of large parties and very unpleasant. I've had awesome dine-in service once (the first time I went and it was 1 in the morning-imagine that!), but most of the time if you go there to sit down and eat, you're waiting for a LONG time (10-15 min) for someone to stop and ask you what you even want to drink. Takeout is hit every time though - order takes almost no time and you can sit at the bar and have a cheap beer while you wait (especially if it's during happy hour!) We live in the delivery radius also and again - hit or miss. It either takes 30 minutes or an hour and a half. But they've never messed up on our order, and the food is just as fresh. This place is a little pricey but overall, it is *the* best sushi I've had since I started eating sushi. And yes, I've been around to many, many different places in the DFW area since. Actually, just talking about it makes me want to hit that place after work before happy hour ends - so I'm changing my vote to 4 stars. : ) (what!? it's on my way home - how can you blame me!)
(4)Ray L.
Would have loved to have experienced Zenna, but the parking lot was so small that we couldn't find a space and had to go to another restaurant instead. Parking is a big problem there.
(1)Esteban C.
The food was not bad although the sea weed in my California rolls were really chewy which made them unpleasant. The service was mediocre at best and worst of all was the dirty dishes, this has happened to me before at this location. Great happy hour specials though.
(2)Shelly T.
You can get better sushi at Whole foods or Tom Thumb. The price fits the quality, it's not bad but there's much better sushi out there! The servers are usually nice, but I had this one girl that didn't care for much of what I had to say. She brought out slimy coconut and when I told her that it wasn't how it's suppose to be, she just said that it's from a can. I only took one sip and I was done. She should've taken it back but charged me for it instead. Happy hour prices are good. Parking is a disaster. Go to Masami, it's in richardson and their prices are fair and their quality is top notch!
(2)Kai S.
The food here... good. The ambiance was better. Being open really late was best. SUSHI TOO! Ok, I'm a fan. ;D
(4)Kay S.
I come to zenna pretty often for late night grubbings or when I want to catch their happy hour. It's a great place for get togethers considering the spacious layout of the dining area. The tuna tartar tower is my absolute favorite item on the menu! I'm a huge fan of Masago and tobiko! Great place for cheap beer and sushi. I do have to complain about the hostess/ greeter service here, id definitely say its not the best, But Servers are pretty nice and consistent with the tables though! :)
(3)Sean V.
Several times I have ordered from Zenna online. They deliver very VERY late at night which is great when stuck working late with nothing open! So far everything I have ordered has been really good! Everything is hot and fresh when it arrives! Their sushi is top notch as well!! I highly recommend them!
(4)Mykie D.
i was excited about the fact that there is actually a real restaraunt open until 3AM every single day of the week ( i didn't go there at 3, but I am just saying.) Thai happens to be my fave cuisine and I was excited to check it out. I was underwhelmed with cuisine. it was just ok, i have indulged in far better thai cuisine. the customer service is just ok. the servers are lazy, young and uninformed about the menu. my thai fried rice was blah and the shrimp lacked flavor. i hear they have a good happy hour (50 cent draft beer.) if i do go back , it will be for happy hour, not for the food. the ambiance is nice, though
(2)Tiffany H.
Great place to go for HH. Fantastic if you drunk and want some sushi or Thai curry. They are open and deliver til 3am. Pretty damn convenient if you ask me. Not my favorite place in the world but it is pretty good. Moderately priced mediocre sushi is worth a try.
(4)Kathy D.
Great happy hour prices ($6 for a beer tower) but only average quality on the food. ALWAYS PACKED DURING HAPPY HOUR. Parking is veryyyy hard to find but I've gotten away with parking in the Motel parking lot a couple of times
(3)Andy N.
I don't know about other people's rating but this restaurant is suck. The food is horrible and ruin my mood on drinking too. They don't know how to cook at all. Everything is tasteless. ***Thumb Down***
(1)Meiko P.
Visiting from Cali we found this place by accident. Californians are big on sushi & Thai food, so this place was right up our alley. The low mien noodles with steak & chicken was very tasty. My bacon wrapped shrimp was good as well.
(4)Jennifer W.
As much as I love this place, and despite coming here quite often, I can only give them 3 stars. Service is almost always mediocre. It's bearable, but could definitely use improvement. Food is pretty good. I use good because it's just that. Nothing exceptional, but it's good. I like their Pad Thai and fried rice, both flavorful and spicy. As everyone has noted, their happy hour specials can't be beat. They're also open until 3 AM every day so it's great for late eats. Parking is a nightmare. I don't know how they have a full house when there are no parking spaces. Great environment for a party or to have drinks with friends.
(3)Nichole H.
Tasty food, good service, and a fun little dragon dance for birthdays! How can you go wrong? So far they haven't, after two visits I'm prepared to put Zenna in my rotation for tasty dinner delights. Now, I confess that I am not a sushi expert. I know what I like (Louisiana rolls, mmmm) and I know what scares me (eel?!?) however I keep an open mind and it has paid off at Zenna. I've tried 3 different kinds of rolls here and I liked all three. I generally have a 6 piece limit on my sushi eating and then my brain, mouth, and stomach all agree they've had enough nori and I go in reject mode. My favorite roll so far was similar to a California roll only it had a tasty sauce on the top and was crunchy, even my 9yr old ate a roll! Now that is saying something. The kid can be a picky eater at times but she ate a roll and enjoyed her pad thai with pork. The thai peanut (E4) is amazingly good. Like wow. The drunken noodles, pad thai, and roasted cashew (E7) are all good. The crab rangoons were different but quite tasty. One of these visits I am going to try a curry as I've never had one. My only complaint about this place is it is lacking in up keep. The exterior is kind of scuzzy looking in the landscaping/maintenance department. The interior needs a good cleaning and just general upkeep done. But I can put that aside for tastiness.
(4)Bee S.
I like Zenna. I agree that it can be hit or miss though. If you like delivery for $10 orders, then it's a hit! If you like Happy Hour, it's a hit. If you mind a wait during dinner hours, and occasional slow service, it's a miss. If you like delivery of a hot yummy Tom Kha soup and cold California roll, and cold cucumber salad, in the same bag that sat while I was in a meeting for 45 minutes and the soup was still hot and the cold dishes still cold... then it's a hit! It is not the most wonderful sushi anywhere, but it is an interesting mix of choices for those of us who like non-American Chinese Asian food. I like the Thai dishes and the rolls. I never eat raw fish anywhere but a well-reviewed Japanese-run establishment- that's my rule. One time the cleaning smells from the restroomway overpowered my son and I at our table for lunch. but they stopped the cleaning when I asked. I am very happy to have discovered that they deliver for those busy days that I just can't leave and don't have time for a long lunch.
(4)Ariza S.
I am a Thai junkie and wasn't overly impressed with Zenna but I do have to give them props for their awesome happy hour! Their drinks are delish and most of the tapas I have had are fairly good as well. They also have a native thai menu like Nandina's, in fact I want to say that they are under the same owners. Their soups were impressive but their main entrees are what lacked pizazz for me. Whenever I go to Zennas I stick to their tapas and drinks. The sushi is okay and the wait staff is pretty friendly but can be inattentive sometimes. I do want to mention that if its your birthday the staff will come out with a a big thai drum wearing masks and a traditional dragon costume to sing happy birthday to you. That was part was pretty awesome, wish I could say more for the entrees. Ariza
(3)Karen P.
Yes, this place has great happy hour prices, and I used to love it, but something has happened. I have been twice in the past month, and the sushi isn't as good as it used to be. I actually didn't feel well after I left both times. Sadly, I won't be going back.
(2)Lamont G.
I've been here several times for pick up , and a couple times just for sit down dinners. I use to work the overnight shift 7p-7am over in Plano, so whenever I had a hankering for a real meal, i'd put a order in. I usually stick to something regular (pad thai chicken or tofu), and it was good enough at 2am in the morning for my lunch haha. When i'd come for dinner a couple times, the food was alright, the inside decor was very contemporary and stylish, sets a good mood. I'd usually go around 6 or 7, so it wasn't too crazy, and service was decent. Although, one thing to note... when someone has a bday there, damn those drums are loud! haha 4 for being OPEN till 3am, and being halfway decent! I'm still trying to find a thai/chinese/korean/indian food place open till at least 3am, since I've moved over to N.Dallas.. Viva the Vampire Shift!
(4)Erica J.
Zenna has one of the "BEST" atmospheres ever! Whether it's a first date, birthday, or a family nite...this is the place to be. They have the best sushi that I have eaten and the Thai food is definitely a winner. I can not think of an occasion that wouldn't be perfect to enjoy at Zenna. The staff is awesome and personable. Happy hour is daily from 3 all the way until 7! I love it, and I'm sure that you will also!
(4)David P.
i had a big stomach ache after eating this thx alot Zenna
(1)Eliza H.
The great thing about this place is its atmosphere and it's one of the few places in town that is open until 3am. There is a full bar and the menu is pretty extensive. The place serves both Thai and Japanese. After 11pm or so the music goes from Jazz to Hip/R&B and the place is clean with a cozy atmosphere. I go there A LOT. And my experience is hit-or- miss. There have been several times where (no matter how full the restaurant was) I would be waiting 15-20minutes for a server, food, or SOMETHING. The manager is a straight-up JERK and sometimes my mixed drinks tasted awful. There ARE good experiences though. I have two favorite servers who constantly check up on my table and make sure that my time there is well spent and that I'm catered to at every moment. There is only ONE bartender whose drinks i will consume and honestly, if it weren't for these three individuals and if it weren't for the hours, I would not bother coming back to the restaurant at all (Ask for NOTT - he's the best server). Another plus, is that they WILL deliver anywhere. I was craving thai, and though I had to pay a delivery fee/mile, they delivered from Plano to Garland. Food is standard - I am, however, impartial to their tempura ice cream and their shrimp tempura. :)

Went here last night and the food was great!!! My husband ordered the red curry beef and I got the sushi Louisiana rolls all was good.
(5)Shawn G.
There's some calibration required to wrap yourself around a 4-star review of Zenna. They don't have amazing drinks, and there isn't some revolutionary food here. This isn't haute cuisine, nor is it the end-all sushi bar. I wouldn't say this is first-date material. What this is, though, is one of the most social-atmosphere, dirt cheap, gritty little sushi and thai places you'll find. If you have 2 or more people this place kicks major butt. It's got a local bar feel, but you get food better than typical American bar food, and great prices. First, the prices: during happy hour it's 3 liters of Ziegenbock (they have other beer, too, I think, but I'm a Shiner guy, so this is all I care about) for $9. This rivals grocery store prices; go check, I have done the maths! They also have $3 hot sake, which is great for those who like hot sake. I prefer a higher quality cold, but when sometimes you need that fix of cheap hot sake. They also have dirt cheap finger rolls and a couple other cheap dishes. You can feast for an hour and get plastered for like $12 a person; it's crazy. The food is not mind-blowing usually, as I said. But that isn't to say it's bad. If you are a sushi snob... well, first pull the stick out because sushi is a food borne out of poverty so get off your high horse, and second just keep your nose out of the sushi menu. They don't have revolutionary rolls, but the standards they have are always good and well balanced. The shrimp tempura roll served during happy hour will hit that same place in your soul that really bad chinese food or really greasy mexican food does. Sometimes your stomach needs to slum it. The sea bass is always fantastic. I have eaten sea bass at several of the best restaurants on earth and the best I have ever put in my mouth is at Zenna. I highly recommend it, because it never disappoints. The tuna tartare is hit or miss, but when it hits it knocks it out of the park; the perfect blend of flavors. But be sure to order some fried wonton chips with it, because you'll need them. It is very much an asian guacamole, and it rocks. It's not Trece guac, but it's really darn good. If you want the really good food get the thai menu. The portions are as big as your car and all like $5 or some craziness. Definitely a good bet if you like thai food. If you like spicy this is one of the few restaurants in Dallas that will go the extra mile for you. They offer 1 to 5. Ask for the thai 5. Assure them that though you may not be asian you can handle it. Zenna is one of the few places in the metroplex I can actually get great service every single time. They have a bunch of younger kids staffing the place who are very courteous, responsive, and pleasant. When someone has a birthday this all changes and you want to fire the lot of them. They need desperately to abolish this practice. I don't recall being in Zenna when that stupid procession didn't happen at least twice. As annoying as it is, it gives you a great talking point, so when it happens you stop your conversation, and when it ends you start again. It's like something out of a movie, it's kind of funny. I think a lot of people walk into Zenna expecting awesome food because they hear their friends who are so passionate about it. Then the reality hits and you find yourself puzzled. What you to have to do is change your context for the place. This isn't serious dinner business. This is the culinary equivalent of a frat party. If you just go in looking for fun you will find yourself much more open to the cuisine and atmosphere. Then you, too, will find this place as one of your top go-to spots.
(4)Dane B.
Had a craving for curry and was very satisfied with my order of Thai Yellow Curry. Can't wait to try out some more dishes on the menu!
(4)Chris E.
Why can't we have more places like Zenna? This is a hybrid Thai/Sushi place that is actually fairly classy. The decor is contemporary and neat, they've got a good-sized bar and spacious booths and tables, too. Listen to this: they are OPEN until 3am every single day! Holy crap! Did you hear me? Go to this place after-hours for a sushi fix. The food is a solid and dependable good. It isn't outstanding, necessarily, but the nigiri sushi and rolls I had were just fine. And how about the price tag. Let me tell you: I had a Manhattan to drink, the Sushi Special C and a Spicy Salmon Roll. My total bill was $23. The roll was 8 pieces and the special had about 8 or so nigiri. This is a great place. Good vibe, nice atmosphere, definitely decent prices, nice people running it, fun patronage. They win the kharma contest. Me rikey! (sorry, was that offensive?)
(4)Rachel K.
Great happy hour prices. Good food. We will return for sure.
(4)Elise w.
This place used to be pretty good, but the quality has been declining this year. I'm pretty sure they're serving instant ramen noodles in some dishes now. The quality is worse when you order delivery and the later it is the worse the food is. They put shrimp into dishes with the tails on. So you have to stop and pull the tail off before you can eat it, getting food on your fingers in the process.
(2)Trinity G.
I've been to Thai-Vietnamese fusion places before, but Thai-Japanese fusion??? Their flavors don't even go togeths! So it's a good thing they don't try to mix Thai with Japanese flavors. There are separate menus--Thai and Japanese. The Japanese menu is pretty much just rolls. I had organized a group of about 24, and they were very accommodating!! Brava to Zenna on that, cuz I'm sure it wasn't easy! We were celebrating two birthdays, and they brought out a Chinese dragon and even sounded a gong. Lmao. Who do they think they're fooling? This place is pretty confused when it comes to Asian cultures. The food was pretty good, I can't complain there! I ordered a curry (can't remember which one), asked for it to be very spicy and got just that. I believe the entire group felt very satisfied and happy. Good job, Zenna!
(4)Jennifer F.
Watch out for bugs!!!! This was our favorite place- But after my 13 year old daughter found a ROACH in her food.. That the manager did nothing about... .That's right he initially wasn't going to even comp her meal! We won't be going back. So disappointed in handling and obvious short cuts in the kitchen.
(1)Noor B.
This place is known for its happy hour, and rightly so - the prices are very good. The food, however, is pretty mediocre, and often times just plain bad. I wouldn't recommend eating anything that isn't on the happy hour menu.
(4)Alex M.
oh lord where to begin. Zenna's is a...pretty damn good business. Although there food, compared to other asian restaraunts are pretty damn subpar *think of it as like iono, ordering pizza and pasta from a olive garden, or goin to a humble fugetabout it italian place with charm which this area btw doesnt have enough of those*, all the otehr benefits are great. This place is the ultimate bring a group of friends and pig out place. Its asian food of all breeds, specializin in thai and japanese, they got hints of korean, chinese, ?lamb chops what the hell? and even some indian ish thrown in for good measure. Go durin happy hour, where everything is ridiculously cheap, especially booze. drinkin alcohol at restaraunts is a bad investment honestly. for a drink tab you can buy a bunch of malt liquor and nyquil and have a party between you and your dubstep music dancing aroudn the room wearing koala bear costumes chewing on glowsticks liek its some elixer of life, but the happy hour prices on food and booze are a great deal. I personally like going with a few friends, getting a bunch of appetizers which are basically the asian equivalent of munchy food, and drinkin booze liek its goin out of style, throwing my water away because it doesnt have enough alcohol in it. I recommend the thai basil wraps, or the heaven beef, deep fried beefy goodness with some kind of regret it in the mornin sriracha sauce. come to think of it i htink its just sriracha sauce. Samosas are decent as well, but if you want awesome samosas check out the indian grocery bhatia mart on coit and parker next to the cici's and scuba store. Sushi here im not gonna lie, is of questianable quality. the great man god that is anthony bourdain even said in his memoir kitchen confidential, not to order discount seafood or sushi. but with the prices you really cant go wrong. It's basically grocery store quality sushi, maybe a tad bit better, but at salvation army prices. i almost feel like im conning the establishment. i don;t remember prices *because its 3:30 in the afternoon after work and im gettin drunk* but essentially its like a buy 1 get 2 free. you can go to a fancy lil quant japanese place and get awesome sushi where they con you, but thats for anniversaries and business meetings, this is boys night out, so eat up man. So basically, even though the food here isnt the greatest, its pretty much a mecca for asiaphiles and explorers. this is a GREAT place to introduce someone to the world of asian cuisine, because the reasonable prices and country spannin' cuisine allows you to mix and match and sample the orient. Oh yea, there open till frikken 3:00 am, so when you get munchies and don;t want cheetos or QT taquitos, this place is it. Oh yea, and their waitresses are consistantly gorgeous.

They are now doing online delivery! This is great news.

5stars for food, have to deduct a little for service/parking. You have to circle the restaurant 3 times to find parking, & it's never full inside! Other than that you can feel a little forgotten sometimes by staff, but food is delish! Great sushi & Thai food. Open very late, and nice chill out patio if you want late night nosh outdoors!
(4)Celina B.
Had excellent delivery today at noon. Food always arrives hot, beverages cold. I order delivery a lot and the hostesses are always friendly and the delivery drivers even more so. Love this place! Excellent pineapple curry, papaya salad, and crunchy sushi roll. If you haven't tried the Thai ice tea you should!

Discussion at a "Thai" restaurant in North Dallas: Roxanna: "I'd like Pad Thai w Chicken" waiter: "Have you had Pad Thai before?" Rox: "Yes." waiter: "Oh. Have you had Pad Thai here before?" Rox: "Uh...no...?" waiter: "Well, ours is kind of sweet...do you like that?" Rox: starting to worry and thinking...I probably would like best the way the street vendors make it in Bangkok...but would settle for just close to authentic "Um, I have several Thai friends...I just like it normal not too sweet." waiter: "Some people say ours is really sweet..." Rox: "Maybe ask for a bit more spicy than sweet...?.?.?" waiter: to husband "And you, sir?" Husband: "I'll have the Pad Prik King..." waiter: looks confused..."uh..." Husband: "The E-8" waiter: "Oh! The spicy string beans...yeah, I don't know the Thai names..." He starts to walk away... Husband: "Uh...with beef..." We exchange looks...outlook not good. So, I know it was a bit silly to expect anything near authentic Thai at this "Thai & Japanese" restaurant, but I had some tips that indicated otherwise. I admit - my Thai standard is high...but the taste on our two dishes fell pretty short of our preference. The Pad Thai was very boring - I'm quite sure there wasn't a drop of fish sauce in the recipe. This rendition was a bit like Teriyaki chicken with noodles - spiced up with crushed red pepper after my discussion with the waiter. It was absolutely edible, but I've absolutely had better. Hubby's Pad Prik King fared better - but it wasn't rich with that red curry flavor we crave. So, basically - 2 stars based on the food. Perhaps our perspective could be upgraded by the fact that this place is apparently open late til 3am and the rumored great happy hour specials - but we didn't partake of any of that fun on this visit...We were quite entertained by some large ROWDY parties celebrating birthdays...and our jaws nearly hit the table when employees donned a Chinese dragon costume and danced to the birthday table clapping, playing cymbals and drums. Wow...it left the effect of a sort of Asian Showbiz Pizza - complete with alcohol for adults.

This restaurant has a Thai / Japanese variety. Great food and alcohol prices during happy hour 3-7 daily... They have a ginormous 3L beer bong for $9 at happy hour... The food was pretty tasty. I had a variety of sushi and a bento box. Their Sweet Basil Thai Chicken was delicious.. The salad that comes in the bento box has peanut dressing - a bit overpowering - but if you like peanuts you're in luck. AND!!! they deliver!!! found my new take out restaurant too! We wanted the fried ice cream for desert, heard it was good, unfortunately, the chefs didnt prep any for the night before... Instead we have the fried bananas with a scoop of ice cream... i hope the friend ice cream is better than the friend bananas... :(
(4)Larissa M.
Had some sushi rolls and the fried tulip dumplings. Spicy Tuna was okay, not really spicy enough for my taste though they sprinkled some red powdered something or other to increase the spiciness. Eel Roll was interesting, had a different take on the standard eel sauce, as it was much lighter in color and sweeter. Tulip dumplings were good, standard dipping sauce, but a little on the small side (25 cent bouncy ball sized). Super dark lighting in the booth by the window, the ceiling light was pointed at the outer seats, so it was a little hard to read the menu. I've had better for about the same price, but their happy hour specials look really great, so I'll have to try those next time.
(3)Lesia C.
This is a good place and for a variety of reasons. Food is good. Not the best sushi in the world but coming at the daily 3-7 Happy Hour makes you a little more forgiving. However, the lunch bento box specials are really good. Pad Thai is good also. I am giving this place 4 stars just because it is so easy to come here and really enjoy yourself. Also...ask for the server named Lyn...she never fails to impress
(4)Andy P.
The wife and I came here for a late evening thai/dinner. We always struggle to find food outside of denny's/fast food late at night so Zenna fit the bill. Asian food, open til 3am everyday? You get major points for that. The inside was nicer than expected but resembled more of a nightclub than a restaurant (perhaps because of the strobe lights and loud hip hop music?). At first the menu seemed big but it was more cluttered than anything. We were hesitant to try too much sushi but did order a roll and a a tuna appetizer. They both came out average, but fresh. I had a spicy noodle dish and the wife had the spicy noodle soup. Outside of Osha in SF, she hasn't found a place that served up spicy tom yum soup that is edible. They actually had it right here. All in all, the food is ok but we like it because they are open until 3 am.
(4)Lauren F.
Zenna has an AWESOME happy hour! It's every single day from 3PM-7PM, and this is really the only time I recommend going. You just can't go wrong with paying $3 and under per sushi roll. The quality is decent, not exceptional, but like I said, under $3 per roll. The service is hit or miss during happy hour (and by hit or miss, I mean miss or super miss), but you can't really expect much when you consider what the server's [don't] make during this time. Opening your ticket to find that you spent less than $10 on sushi for dinner will make you feel better about the slow service.
(4)Thomas W.
Interior, dark and moody. Food, average and unremarkable. I'm not sure what all the hoopla is about. I think most of the stars are for the cheap alcohol.
(3)Molly K.
Great happy hour! And here's the best part.... it's seven days a week happy hour. They have very cheap beer prices during the time as well as some awesome martinis. Also they are open to really late so if you have a midnight sushi craving you can fulfil it! The lunches are also awesome with their very affordable bento boxes. I think my favorites are the soups and the serve yourself beer tap at the table. Great place!!!
(4)Dog n.
Good food, great spring rolls, very pleasant atmosphere, great late night hours, great wait staff. But what I really miss about this place is the Tom Ka Kai (coconut) soup. God. I no longer live in Texas and have tried Tom Ka at several other places, and all have fallen short of the high standard set by Zenna.
(5)Kendyl R.
Great drink specials. Sushi is horrible! Cooked food is ok. Fun environment late night.
(2)Carla W.
I've been to Zenna a few times now and have been pleased on each visit. First, I appreciate that they are open late - in Plano, that's a huge plus! Second, the service is friendly and accommodating. While I have noticed service can be slow, that doesn't bother me much in a small independent restaurant. To the food: The lamb chops are delicious - and cheap! They're listed as an appetizer but are really a small meal. They have the best peanut chicken I've ever tasted. The kee mow was good. The Heaven Beef was odd at first sight, but after a few bites became an unexpected hit. One complaint - each time they haven't had mango for their mango and sticky rice! The waitress said they haven't had mango for several months...then take it off the menu! Sometimes I think I might stop at the grocery store and bring my own mango...
(4)Keven W.
THE GOOD - Happy Hour can't be beat. $1 12oz beers, rolls under $5 and nigiri for a dollar a piece. - Calm atmosphere, friendly staff, open til 3am every day. - Restaurant is usually clean and respectable. - Large portions of most entrees and the Tom Kha Gai soup is quite good. Thai curries and cuisines are tasty and abundant. THE BAD - Delivery is quoted at 45 minutes from Zenna to my house. I've never had a delivery arrive in under an hour and a half (even between 2-4pm on a Monday). - The staff, though personable, takes their sweet time to do their job. I usually have to wait 5-10 minutes for someone to greet me in their section with two other tables on a slow lunch. I don't know if this is a miscommunication between the host and the waiter or a lack of attention/laziness on the waiter's part, but it's a consistent trend. THE BOTTOM LINE - Service will usually be better during nights, and sometimes you'll see managers picking up the slack with food ordering/running, pre-bussing, etc. - I wouldn't recommend delivery, as they don't specialize in it and you'll probably end up waiting at least twice the quoted time for your food. - Overall, while there is better quality food and service out in Dallas, for the Happy Hour prices and convenience of location, it's not a bad spot to hang out. 6/10 Dining Experience

I was apprehensive about trying Zenna because my crazy, old Thai mother was appalled at the idea of a restaurant that boasted Thai *AND* Japanese cuisine. All that has changed since our first visit. Since then, this is one of her favorite spots for big bowls of noodle soup and Thai tea. I enjoy their papaya salad although at times it is a bit bland. I am sure the taste varies on who is cooking that day. Their garlic and black pepper chicken wings and garlic pork ribs are perfect for a light snack - especially after midnight! The Pad Prik King is fantastic! You sure get a HUGE portion, too. If you enjoy Vietnamese Pho, give their Spicy Ground Pork Boat Noodles a try. You get a HUGE bowl of this decadent and delicious broth that you could probably swim in. I always order this soup with sen mee (very thin rice noodles). This soup is perfect for lunch no matter what the weather and is all kinds of win. My husband enjoys sushi and I am a Thai food addict, so this is the perfect place for us. The prices are so incredibly reasonable when you consider not only the quality but the quantity of food you are getting. Is this the best sushi in town? No. But it's pretty good all things considered. The best thing about Zenna, other than the amazing bowl of delicious win soup, is that it's open until 3am every night. Secret Squirrel note: If you enjoy authentic Thai food, ask for their Thai menu when you are seated. Many of the dishes offered are not on their main menu. It is written in both Thai and English. Don't miss out on the super (not so) secret good stuff!
(4)Dawn S.
A vast array of options but foods not the best and servers are often really slow or forgets about their tables. Zenna's open till 3 so good for late night dining
(2)Jacqueline N.
My first time here was during happy hour with my cousin. The service was nice & so were the waiters. Since it was happy hour most of the sushi was one dollar each, so my friend & I decided to get one of everything & try all their flavored sakes. That my friends was a very nice way to end the day.. My second time here I was just having lunch date. it was then I realized how the interior was decorated. it reminded me of what an Asian fusion night club would look like. Some of the decor was really nice, but then some was just too overbearing which made it tacky to me.. but don't get me wrong the food was pretty good. This day I had the Tom-kha Kal (coconut soup) & the drunken noodle that comes in a bento box. The portions were just about perfect. Not too much & then my noodles came with a summer roll, salad, soya beans, & soup. No one at my booth could finish their lunch! So I would say that's a deal!
(4)Monica H.
I just got off work and it was almost midnight and a co-worker suggested Zenna's because it was open until 3 a.m. EVERYDAY. Can't get any better than that right? Well we walked inside and the bar was right next to the door. It has a FULL out bar just like the ones you see at the club. Not too fancy, yet had a very sophisticated look. Since it was late, we didn't have to wait long before we got seated. & the whole time, I was admiring the place. The music that was playing was R&B and hip hop. Which I didn't expect to be played at a place like this. but I LOVED it. The place looked fancy but the music just made it look very fun and casual. Their sushi is OKAY. But I would recommend the main entree's (pad se eww, pad tai, etc.) My server was Eve, and she had that asian accent so I was expecting half-ass service (Not to be racist, I'm asian too!) but it wasn't the case for us. She was very polite and well mannered and always had a smile on her face! Overall, I absolutely LOVED the environment, wait staff, and the food was delish! :) I will definitely be coming back with a couple of my friends! Perfect if your looking for a fun and semi-casual date!

If you find yourself on 75, and need some thai food, then you need to drop by this place. Lots of drinks, and variety of food. Large size restaurant.
(4)Anita C.
Zenna is a happening place at 2 a.m., especially when it's your birthday! (They close at 3 a.m.) Mmm sushi. I'm salivating just thinking about it. I'm a fan of caterpillar and spider rolls and they're both good here. I would also recommend the chicken vegetable soup and edamame. Our waitress was very nice and attentive and they got our meals out pretty fast. My nice friends secretly told our waitress that it was my birthday and the staff busted out with a traditional lion dance costume and a LOUD drum and paraded to our table. They danced around for a bit and plopped a plate of crispy fried banana with vanilla ice cream dessert with a candle in front of me. It was fun, and the dessert was pretty good. Although I've never seen the Thai and Japanese food combo before, their Thai dishes look pretty good, and I'll definitely have to come back and try some.
(4)D L.
Great sushi during their happy hour. Service is great, prices are super low (during happy hour) and the rolls are really tasty! I havent had their thai food, so I can't comment on that. Their sushi however is definitely worth a visit.
(5)Olinda C.
So my boyfriend is a picky eater, meaning he wont eat asian, mexican or well...anything unamerican, ANYWAY... He had the sushi here and LOVED IT, so we went to dinner here on a Friday night, and it was packed, big parties, dancing lights, music, tvs on (with baseball!! :D) and it was just so ambient and festive. Then....two people had birthdays.... what does that mean to Zenna? Everything. Gongs a'ringin', people in costumes marching through the crowds of customers, bells, singing, LOUD NOISES and lots of clapping. OH MY! Maybe its my ADD but I LOVED IT!!!! Then it ended.... Sadness. And we went back to enjoying our delicious meal. Bf: Sushi, Steamed Rice, Dr. Pepper Me:Edamame, Miso Soup, Coke, Fried Banana Dessert. = YUMMMMM....and Great atmosphere... Oh I love eating there!!!
(5)Chia L.
I used to love this place, but seriously, Zenna, what happened?! The quality of NOT only the food but the service as well, has dwindled over the years. My boyfriend has always disliked this place but I always defended it until the other night. I ate the yellow chicken curry and it was so disappointing. I make curry at home better than that, plus the rice it came with was over cooked and soggy. My sister had the flat noodle stir fry and my boyfriend has the pad thai; they both tasted like they've been sitting on the expo line, then reheated in the microwave minutes before being brought out to us. Our server took forever to refill our drinks, I literally had to slurp my empty cup obnoxiously to get her to even come over to our table again. I used to be a server once so I could understand if it was a busy night, but we went on a WEDNESDAY NIGHT! There was barely anyone else there. I won't ever go here and spend my money at this place again. I rather drive a little further down to NOODLE WAVE and get fresh and vibrant food than to ever eat here again. Bye Zenna, you lost me forever.
(1)Ria S.
While visiting TX, we stumbled upon this place. We wanted a good happy hour and Zenna did not dissapoint. Right off the interstate, they have a pretty nice decor and I loved their happy hour menu. $2 frozen margaritas and well drinks, $3 sushi rolls, even 50 cent (6oz) beers! Horrific service. Terrible. Like laughably bad. I would say it was a one time thing but we came back at around 1:45 am the next day (they close at 3) for drinks and at 2:15 they tried to take them! Apparently the bar closes at 2, only the restaurant was open. We cashed out early and tried to enjoy our drinks only to have some one (manager maybe?) tell us the bar was closed. When we tried to move to a table he wanted to take our drink! We paid $12 for that one drink and I tipped our bartender $10 just for the inconvienence, so the rudeness was unwarranted and unnecessary. Minus 2 stars just for the staff being so off putting. Oh well, I'll still probably come back for cheap sushi, I'm easy.
(3)Mike N.
This place is great! Very nice atmosphere, good service, and great food! My first time was for dinner, and I was blown away with the yellow chicken curry. Very good and tons of food. Since then I've gone quite a bit for lunch. They have a very good bento box style lunch special which is always good and very filling. I haven't disliked anything I've tried so far. They are open very late which is nice for those times you need a fix. Also have a nice bar, even though I don't take advantage of that. Anyone I've taken (that likes Thai, etc) has been back with me!
(4)Rich B.
Zenna is a masterpiece! A delicious blent of Thai and Japanese, and I mean delicious! I just wish they would quit playing soppy love songs during sunday afternoons when I try to eat their bento because I feel a little odd hearing "My Endless Love" while I hang out with my best friend who is also Zenna obsessed, and also a guy. Kinda feels like I am supposed to be getting romantic or something just because I hung out for lunch. I mean, what's next? Barry White? Isaac Hayes? That aside, the drunken noodle (Pad Kee Mow) is soooo awesome, I like it as spicy as it can be made! First off the ingredients they use are awesome for the immune system, it has red bell pepper and onion to start with. Also I can't do without the Gyoza (aka Pot Stickers), I found I prefer them steamed there. Their sweet soy dipping sauce is out of this world, and the little pieces of onion on them are amazing garnish to an already flawless Gyoza. Being a Japanese culture freak, I truly admire this and I am picky about Gyoza.. very much so. Their Yakitori chicken is awesome, it has this sweet glaze on the skewered grilled chicken and you dip it into this spice mixture they have there. The sushi they have is okay, not my favorite, but their curries, dumplings, sake bombs and other alcohol specials more than make up for it. I truly adore Zenna, from the amazing atmosphere, to the awesome food, to the beautiful girls they have working there (sorry I had to mention it), and the drinking doesn't get better... they even have this huge beer dispenser you can get for your table.. it rocks.. a little pricey though when they also have 50 cent mini beers at happy hour (or used to). Zenna, I just wanna say... change your music, people go there for a cultural experience, not to hear that lame 70s love music. Go play some JPOP and Thai music. Keep up the awesome work, try to get the sushi a tiny bit better. In spite of that, I am so addicted to your restaurant that I give it 5 stars, it is my favorite restaurant.
(5)Glen P.
This place is one of my favorite places to eat. Their Pad See Ew and various curry dishes are simply amazing and the best I've eaten in Dallas, and I've eaten at quite a few Thai places. The sushi is decent. Its not spectacular, but its not bad either. But then again, I have a high standard for sushi so my opinion is a little biased to a high set California standard. Ive never had a problem with service here. I have always been promptly seated and politely served. As for as the atmosphere goes it is pretty mellow. Ive never been here during happy hour so I can't comment on it. It is nice that the place is open late till 3am, as I have some vague memories of late night drunk adventures here.
(5)Yvonne T.
I absolutely LOVE IT! Their Sushi is fresh,their employees are friendly!
(4)Diane B.
Good food. Great happy hour(get there early!). Good prices. Wish the patio was nicer. Service was great! Hard to find parking at times.
(4)Lindsey D.
Fun place to drink and have some appetizers. We like to sit on the patio and at the bar. They serve food til 3am, which is convenient. They also deliver. What we always get: Heavens beef, tom kha gai soup, spring rolls (fried and fresh), and we like to get salmon and tuna nigiri. They also have a secret menu or very authentic thai food. Just ask your waiter or bartender!
(4)Seiya F.
I would rate this place 3 stars or even 4 if it wasn't for the awful service. I'm a server myself, so I know how hectic it can get, but when it's obviously slow with 3 tables in the whole restaurant I at least expect good service. The only reason why I go back to this place is because I enjoy the food so much plus the late hours if I'm having a late asian food craving. I recommend that this place start training their employee staff better, seeing as maybe I've only had okay service about 3 or 4 times the whole 2 years I've been coming here. The servers I've had have been rude, unprofessional, and seem to have no knowledge of the menu, one server didn't even know what spicy mayo was which was shocking seeing as they serve sushi there. The hosts are unattentive as well, I waited 10 minutes before being sat only to find out she was back there the whole time talking. All in all, the food is what makes the restaurant, if it weren't for that I would NEVER come back here again.
(2)ash m.
MY all time favorite place for late night eats. . lamont introduced me to this place 5 years ago or so.. great dishes, sushi, bar.. I always get the chicken fried rice with level 4 spicy... awesome , fresh and only 10 bucks, large portions.. open till 3 am too.. so its great for night shift:) try it out..
(5)Byoung Kyu S.
Went to Zenna late one night (~ 11 PM) for some late-late dinner. It was 4 of us. We probably waited around 15 minutes in the lobby before anyone even noticed us. I knew we were in for a LONG night. The food actually wasn't too terrible. If I was rating Zenna soled based on food, I'd give 3 stars. The menu was extensive and everything we ordered tasted okay. The service was one of the worst, if not the WORST I've ever experienced. Upon waiting 15 minutes to be seated, it took quite a while before a waiter headed to our table. After he took our order, again, it took forever for the food to come out. Not only that, 2 of the dishes never came out. And we had to ask the waiter a number of times to check on the missing dishes. The roll and the sashmi salad came out about 45-60 minutes into our meal. We were offered no apologies or explanation. I also asked for more hot water in my teapot for the tea. The waiter took the teapot but never returned with the teapot. We tried to wave the waiter for our check and it was like finding a needle in a haystack. Even when we finally were given the check it took another 15 minutes before he returned to take our payment. I may go back if I get the late-late night munchies.......WHY IS THERE NOT A DECENT PLACE TO EAT IN PLANO AFTER 10 PM? If I do return and the service sucks again, I will definitely voice my opinion this time around.
(1)C L.
Huge cockroach crawling near my head on the booth. Once I alerted the staff, they just tried to kill it. I guess I looked shocked because after a minute they asked if we wanted to move to another table. No thanks. Appetite ruined and we left. Haven't been back since.
(1)Brooke G.
I've been on a sushi kick lately so I booked it back over to Zenna's since they're one of the few sushi joints actually open during the day! C'mon people. Some folks want that sushi goodness in the afternoon! In any case, here's the lowdown on what we ordered: 1 LA roll - mmmmmmmmm to infinity and beyond (though Sushi Rock and Teppo do it better) 1 spicy tuna roll - you just can't go wrong there 1 shrimp tempura roll - tasty but Teppo still holds my heart 1 crunchy roll - it was okay to try, but it wasn't worth the $10.75 And the extra goodness you get for going to Zenna during the day: Coconut soup on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. Whew, had I known about the soup before we ordered, I would have asked for a pot of that stuff. It was scrumptiliumptious! I'll definitely be back on another Saturday for lunch ;) Oh yeah, and their waitstaff still takes their sweet time so if you're absolutely starving, hit the Mickey-Ds, otherwise you're gonna be unhappy.
(4)Kathreen B.
Happy Hours are great here but even the items on the menu are still pretty cheap for sushi! This place never disappoints but I will definitely say get there early if you ever do Happy Hour. Parking sucks and they definitely need a bigger one. I had to park across the street at the Bank of America parking lot like everyone else.
(4)Annabel L.
First off, the service was superb. The place was extremely crowded, so I was expecting a long wait, but our food came out in no more than 10 minutes, and the waiter was very friendly. I did enjoy the atmosphere, and saw no problem with the Thai/Japanese fusion aspect. I had the Thai tea, which was without a doubt the best I have ever had, and the Pad Kee Mow (Drunken Noodles). Delicious! The spice level was just right, the veggies scrumptious, and the tofu great, if a tad undercooked. We also tried the yellow curry. It was perfect, again some of the best I have had, and we scraped the plate clean. The sticky rice made an ideal dessert - not too much, not too sweet, just perfect and delicious. I will definitely be back.
(5)Rachel H.
I agree with most reviewers that the drink specials are great. It is wonderful that they are open so early in the day and late at night... but I want good sushi! The home-made mayonnaise on the volcano roll was not tasty. The salad was mostly iceberg with too much dressing. There were only four tables there at the same time as us. There were many servers in the restaurant, we just couldn't seem to get any service without flagging them down on their way to and from the sushi bar. All in all, if you are going out for a drink for happy hour, this is a place to pass the time, just avoid the food.
(2)JC L.
The Heaven Beef and Thai Fried rice is awesome!
(5)Vera M.
I've been here 3 times and absolutely love both, the drinks and the food. Peanut chicken and Pineapple Curry are my personal favorites. You may also want to try the Basil Chicken Wraps appetizer. We got good service every time we went, so I'm kind of surprised to see people complaining about bad service. This is definitely one of my favorite places. The fact that it's open till 3 am unlike most Dallas restaurants is a huge plus.
(5)Christie S.
This is the absolutely the worst place I have ever been too. The service is terrible and the food Is even worst. I ordered a cup of coconut soup and stir fry Chinese brocolli with crispy pork while my two other friends order shrimp tempura, California roll, chicken basil wrap each and they finish thier food before I even got my soup after waiting almost 45 min. This was my third time at this establishment and every time has been the worst. The first two time I got sick after eating thier sushi. I have never been the one to complain or even write a review but this by far is the WORST place and thier food sucks!!!!!!! I give thai place a negative!!!!!
(1)agnes l.
Life saver with this delivery till 3am when I arrive on a late work flight here. Drunken noodles with the spicy level of 2 out of a 5 already got my mouth burning up!! Thai ice tea similar to the ones everywhere else.
(3)Spencer H.
Food is pretty good, they have some amazing rolls, and their prices are good. Happy hour is great! 3-7 every day with super cheap drinks, sushi, and appetizers. Also they deliver until 3am and their delivery is always prompt!
(4)Ab C.
Zenna is definitely the spot if you love 'cheap' sushi. The quality is legit compared to the price. Happy hour is from 3-7. Rolls were under $4 and the appetizers on the menu were under $5. The Shrimp Tempura Roll is THE BEST. The Tuna Roll is a toss up. It's either really good or really bad. California Rolls are OK. I did try the Seagull Roll from the full price menu and it is one of the tastiest, BEST rolls i've ever tried. The combination of tempura shrimp, crab, and cream cheese was to die for. The thought of the roll makes me licks my lips. The service is usually really fast and efficent. Everyone that works there is really friendly, and it's always pretty busy because it's such an awesome place to hang out. But the past 2 or 3 times i've gone, the restaurant wasn't busy at all and the service was TERRIBLE. But I love Zenna to much to let a couple times effect me going. It's my spot and I definitely go as much as possible. You can get a good 4 rolls and a drink for $15. I LOVE it. :-)
(4)Scott D.
Great food. Love it. Wish it was priced a little more like the place next door... but delicious none the less.
(4)Duarte H.
Great food! The coconut soup served with their lunch was new to me and it was great. I've never been a big fan of sushi, but this place has me rethinking my ways. Never a big crowd at lunch and a great place to get away from work for an hour or so.
(4)Billy B.
Completely awful. A mix of thai/japanese. At lunch it was hard to order a dish that wasn't half thai and half japanese which don't go together. Doesn't matter - each tasted bad.
(1)Molly B.
We love going to Zenna. The atmosphere is fun and upbeat and the food is always consistent and delicious. The only drawback is that the service is iffy.
(4)L P.
I arrived into town really late one night, so it was nice to know there was a place open late to eat authentic thai food. Service was a little slow. food was okayyy. I may return when i'm back in town.
(3)Susan F.
I ate here recently for lunch after having stayed away for a couple of years. The food just isn't worth the wait. I had hoped they would work out their service issues, but they haven't. After ordering, I got my water, then sat there for at least 15 minutes before they brought out the soup that comes with the bento box. C'mon people, it's soup. It's already cooked. A waitress only need ladle some into a tiny bowl and sprinkle it with cilantro (yech.) After that, it was another 20 minutes before the rest came out. They are always busy at lunch, it's not like this is a surprise to them, but they just can't get it done. If you don't mind spending 90 minutes for lunch, most of which will be spent waiting, this place is okay.

I think the food is average. It's cheap on happy hour. But the nigiri is decent price for happy hour. Ive had 2 nigiris for two bucks at sushi bars. This place charges 5 bucks for two, but happy hour is half price. Good place if you want a quick fix.

I've driven by this place hundreds of times, especially since I lived in Allen for two years. I've heard about it forever and how they were open until 3am. But I never actually stopped. Today, my normal lunch partner was stuck in an 11am-1pm lunch meeting so I was on my own. I usually try to go eat stuff that I know she doesn't like when I'm on my own. Stuff like Thai, Indian and Seafood. So, I decided today was the day I was going to try Zenna. In all honesty, I just wasn't that impressed. I mean it was edible... it wasn't horrible... but I've had much better Thai, and Sushi around town. I started out with Thai Tea and it was very good. I even toyed with the idea of getting a second one "to go". The Tom-Kha Kai soup they brought out before I even ordered was delicious... and I was starting to get high hopes, but it is from here that things started going down hill. I ordered Pineapple Chicken Curry as a meal, hoping for leftovers for dinner tonight, and to ensure leftovers I also ordered a Shrimp Tempura Roll. The Shrimp Tempura roll was delivered to my table first and eh it was just all right. This roll had way too much Nori, with a layer in the middle and another on top. Then instead of an entree portion of Pineapple Chicken Curry, I was brought a Bento Box that included a spring roll, salad (which was a waste because it's iceberg lettuce which I am allergic to), two pieces of California Roll, steamed rice, and the curry. The California Roll had a very weird texture that almost felt like I was chewing on something fuzzy. The spring roll was good. Pineapple Curry sauce had a good flavor, but the chicken had a very gummy texture and I ended up just picking out the pieces of pineapple to eat with the sauce and the rice. This place is open from 11am - 3am and will deliver within a 5 mile radius (with minimum $ order). My office is within the 5 mile radius, which could be a thought someday if the weather is really really nasty. But if I'm getting out and driving for lunch... there are much better places in the area for both Thai food and Sushi.

I had to travel to Dallas this week for a business trip. I roll into DFW, find my way to the hotel and I'm starving for some good food. Fortunately Zenna is close by so I order up some yellow curry chicken and seafood with some steamed rice and a side of yellowtail sushi. The sushi was really fresh and the wasabi had a real kick to it - just the way I like it. The curry was out of this world. Hot but not lethal and a wonderful hint of coconut flavor to it. Generous portions of chicken and shrimp/squid/lobster. Plain white rice is a beautiful thing when it's done right and they did it right. Light and fluffy, not sticky. A perfect compliment to the spicy flavors of the curry. Great Thai food - not to be missed.

This place is no longer in my list of restaurant to visit. On a recent lunch time dining, waited for more than an hour to get a bento box. Service sucked too. Food was average.
(1)Tom P.
Another great meal at Zenna today. Tom Kha soup is spectacular. Once again solid service. Bathrooms could use a little help though.

Zenna's happy hour is the best!

Celebrated a friends birthday here for the first time and definitely the last. We got a brand new waiter for a table of 14 who re-entered our orders after happy hour ended and made us pay full price, brought out the food almost 2 hours later and forgot the birthday girls order. The manager didnt seem to be very apologetic when we complained and offered us free appetizers for the incredible wait instead of discounting our food and letting us leave. We finally left after 3 1/2 hours. Management should have put more people on our table or had someone help the new guy. You just ruined the reputation of this restaurant for 14 people and everyone we know. Good riddance, terrible Thai.
(1)Ashley W.
I've been here when it was okay a couple times but the last time I went, I was sorely disappointed. Please don't waste your time or money here when there are much better places to go like Noodlewave. (Or anywhere else for that matter) The food was terrible, small proportions, and there was horrible service even though it was only around 11 and not that busy! When we were seated, the waiter took a while to come over so we were more than ready to order. I got my usual-chicken Pad Thai. Decided I was craving a California roll and got that as well. My boyfriend got the teriyaki chicken and beef plus the yakitori chicken appetizer. My California roll was terrible, almost no rice and the texture of the imitation crab was practically mashed potato-like. I didn't know it would be imitation crab, and when I mentioned it to the waiter, he agreed with me and said it was bad. The pad thai had almost no bean sprouts or green onions in it, and those make a big difference to me. The teriyaki chicken/beef portion was tiny. It looked like it belonged on a kids menu. The sauce on this dish resembled the consistency of soy sauce...definitely not the thicker consistency of teriyaki sauce. It came with a side of fried rice...which was a complete joke. This fried rice resembled steamed rice that was pushed around in a pan with some soy sauce for 5 seconds. Needless to say, we didn't finish that. The only good thing that came from this meal was the yakatori chicken, which is pretty sad. I heard this restaurant went under new management recently. Maybe that's why the quality changed so drastically between my visits. I won't be coming back.

I think it's really stupid that they don't accept an consular ID... I'm so disappointed.... It's a legal ID I don't know what's the problem!!!!
(1)Shristy A.
Love this place! Everything on the menu at Zenna is guaranteed to be delicious. Can add spicy levels if needed. The drunken noodles are amazing! Also, the food comes out relatively fast. It is great, because Zenna is open till 3 am, and its hard to find good quality food in the late hours, especially being a college student who stays up to study or goes out with her friends sometimes.
(5)Shelly M.
They loose a point bcuz we stood at the front waiting to be seated for no joke 8 minutes! People in front of us left bc they were standing there when we walked in. And point bc the silverware was dirty as was the water glass they brought... food was pretty good, cheap so good value for what it was. Ordered the Bento box, chicken spicy green beans. But it wasn't spicy so I'd ask them to up the chilies next time. And less dressing on that little salad that comes with it... was sweet and drowning in it.. soup of yhe day was vegetable. Tasted like tomato sour slightly spicy broth... nothing to want again... if I were in that area, I'd visit again if craving cheap food.
(3)E P.
poor service for delivery...it's been over 2 hrs order 7042..no call nothing...i even sent an email nothing...to bad i really liked this place but will not order again or even come to this location
(1)Jack C.
The food is good but I have to give it a 0 star. I order delivery from here a lot, usually 85% they mess up the order(usually small problem) but today it's the worst of all. I got the order not only was the food barely warm(took an hour an a half to receive even know they said 45min to an hour) they left an order out. They could not even have someone to fix the problem but instead said we have to wait for the manager to come back(he wasn't in) to fix this. So I waited, the missing order arrived(2 hours and 15 min since order was placed), guess what it's the wrong order. I called back and finally got to talk to the manager, of course because their restaurant is so busy and making so much money, he doesn't care to say sorry or apologize, way to run a restaurant. I hope the owner read this because he got to visit his restaurant and check up. I know he's busy with the new restaurant next door but he needs to know what kind of people is "helping" him run his restaurant. Just an update the manager is also a liar, he told me he would personally bring me a refund but it wasn't him.
(1)Venus C.
Lately I have received really crappy service at this location. Today the hostess quickly sped off to seat us. Although we had quite a few more steps to get to our table, the hostess placed the menus on the table and walked off. How rude! Our waiter, Hieu, did not have a clue and seemed really distracted placing our orders. My husband had to wait 10mins after son & I received our food before he got his. Once my husband received his food, it was only a portion of his order. Does it really take that long for spring rolls? My husband had to approach Hieu in order to get our check as it was taking him entirely too long. We will start going to the Rosemeade location as this is our second consecutive time experiencing bad service. We noticed another couple waiting on their check for a long time with another waiter. The bad thing is, it was not crowded while we were there.
(2)Alyson K.
I am shocked to see this place has anything less than 4 stars!!!! I am assuming people love this place cos everytime I go there the parking lot of full...its impossible to get a spot on Friday evening without a min of an hour wait, which sucks...cos I have stopped trying to go there on a Friday evening....nevertheless I love this place, they have great food, delicious drinks, and the best thing is that they are open late night...we always head out late night and love that this place is open then....my favorite dishes on their menu is the large bowl of soup, california roll and pad kee mow...m husband experiments more with their menu, orders a different dish each time and he has never ordered something he didn't like....they have a pretty extensive menu and that's another thing we like about the place...
(5)Thomas M.
Really great food and good prices. Open till 3am best place to visit late night. Ice is awesome too ") I take anyone visiting here
(5)Melissa F.
I give this 2 stars based on service. The waiters/food take FOREVER. If you're looking to get in and out, please don't come here. They've finally cleaned up the building a little (3 times, we were placed at a table with a leaky ceiling overhead - they just put a towel on the table and told us to watch out for it - !!!). When you walk in, the hosts will finish up whatever conversation they're having before getting around to you. Give the waiters a good while to come over, then forever to come back. Having said that, I do enjoy the miso soup and their heaven beef. The gyoza needs a little work. The sushi is acceptable, and their main dishes are pretty good. Happy hour is awesome, as far as pricing. Their frilly drinks can go either way on taste, but they've got good deals on beer. I also really like their decor. All in all, the food is ok, the service sucks, the parking is horrendous, the happy hour is good. I'd have bumped this to 3 stars, but I just can't get over the hosts spending another minute on flirting with each other (while looking at us!) before wrapping it up and greeting us.
(2)Nancy K.
I love Zenna! Happy Hour works the best...when you can have $1 sushi. I also tried several Thai dished from Thai Menu. Most of them are great! That BD thing they do kind of bothering me sometimes though....I guess ones might like it and other might not.....
(4)Jake H.
I attended Zenna for a birthday party, and as many Yelpers mention, the food didn't come with a lot of fanfare. Most people at our table noted that they didn't come for the food, but the atmosphere. Oddly enough, I did enjoy my food. And my adorably cute waitress, Kelly, really made my evening worthwhile. I ordered some Drunken Noodles (Pad Kee Mao) with a '5' hotness. The waitress asked if I was sure, but I'm a firm believer in that if I eat Thai food, I eat it the right way, nice and hot. I really enjoyed my dish, and washed it down with some decent hot sake. Around the table, I noted that people had a mix of sushi, and Thai plates, but no one seemed to really revel in their dishes. I think they need more spice in their life. The parking was decent, and prices were quite nice. Service was really good, and overall, I found it to be a great experience.
(4)Angela M.
Absolutely LOVE this place! The service is always great, the prices are reasonable, the food is fantastic - I am in love with their Shrimp Tempura Rolls. Mmmm!
(5)L G.
We absolutely love Zenna's. My fiancé and I eat here at least every two weeks sometimes more often, we can't help it, it's that yummy. Love the combinations of Thai and Japanese and the HH is our favorite time to come eat sushi. We love the Chicken Basil Wraps (app) always get those! Thai iced coffee here is perfect blend of fuel n sweet. We probably introduce 1-2 new people that have never tried Zenna a month and they all come back. The Downtown location is new n right next to the Dallas World Aquarium, also quite yummy. Service can some times be a little slow but nothing aggravating, just know it happens. The servers are always very polite and always get you what you ask for and when you have kids that's important. I will say that when they are busy the service is definitely more timely. We like to come when they aren't too crowded.
(4)Elyse L.
Great Food, Awful Service. My husband and I first went to their location off Midway for lunch on a Saturday afternoon. There were 4 tables in the entire place, including ours, and we had no idea who our server was because at least 3 different people came to our table. We had to get up twice from our table to ask for more water because they never came by to check on us at all. We had to wait 20 minutes for them to bring the bill too. We live in Frisco, but decided to give it another go and went to the Plano location for lunch yesterday. We were there forever. It took ten minutes for a waiter to come to our table after we sat down, and when he did he spoke no English but took our order anyway without writing it down. Ten more minutes pass and a girl we haven't seen comes and asks us if we are ready to order. I told her we already had someone take it and she said, "Um, yeah just give it to me again." So we did (she wrote it down) and almost 40 minutes later our food finally came out, wrong. I ordered the bento box with pad see ew which is a sweet soy sauce. Instead they gave me noodles in a spicy sauce with peppers. I also asked if I could have the cucumber roll instead of the California roll in my box because I'm allergic to crab. Of course, it was the California roll that I got. It's a shame because they really do have good food, but we will not be returning.
(1)Aimee N.
This is a great place to go for happy hour or late night. The happy hour here is really affordable. You can get a piece of sushi for a dollar each and the simple rolls are only about $3-4. The drinks are so cheap as well. I love the atmosphere because it's nice inside with tons of people there during happy hour and they have it 7 days a week, from 3 pm to 6 pm. There is also Thai food if you're not in the mood for Japanese. They are open till 3 am on the weekends so it's a perfect place to go if you're hungry getting out from the bar or just to go eat. They have a cheap late night menu for Thai food if you go after 9 pm. This is a great place to go with friends during happy hour and it can be very romantic as well if you go a little later when happy hour is over.
(4)Walter G.
This last time server was forgetful alk nite 6 person table not happy at all. Cold food wrong mix of food in order. Had to wait to be re done. Forced gratituity o ticket to 19% Thinking I'd returning is worth it.
(2)Kerry O.
This is a review for their Happy Hour only. DRINKS !!! Beer starts at $.50 (6oz), Margaritas start at $2 (again 6oz), all wells $2, wine $3. The drinks are nicely prepared, nothing outstanding but what you would expect. I like the Cosmopolitan for $3. FOOD !!! $1 Sushi (per piece), Rolls starting at $2 (cucumber) up to $3.50 (Philadelphia) with my personal favorites coming in at $3 for Shrimp Tempura and Spicy Tuna. What they are calling HOT TAPAS start at $3 for Edamame and go up to $5.45 for either the Heaven Beef or Garlic Pork Ribs. I like the Chicken Wings for $4.20 and Gyoza at $3.50. On their dinner menu they have a Chilean Sea Bass for $9.95 which I know a few people to get instead of the Happy Hour tastes and they were very pleased.
(4)Brooke C.
Awesome prices during happy hour, and they're open late so it makes it convenient after a night of going out.
(5)K W.
Heaven beef is a must have! Great place to go for happy hour
(5)Brian L.
Last night I ordered delivery. Beware that they will charge you a ridiculous fee for delivery if you're not close. There's also a fee for ordering online - as if that doesn't make everything easier for everybody involved. I ordered yellow curry - this is where I was first introduced to it and fell in love with it. But they forgot to send any rice... So I ended up having to cook anyway, despite ordering delivery. I doubt I'll ever order delivery from here again.
(2)Faith E.
Great sushi and good prices during happy hour. Their shrimp tempura is amazing. Nice atmosphere as well.
(5)Minal P.
Good if you're looking for quick Thai or a late night place (think they stay open till 3). For my spicy eaters, a 3 won't do the trick, bump it up to a 5!!
(3)Amy C.
Our past experiences have been great, however yesterday evening not so much. After looking for our waitress, Angie, for 30 minutes to get our bill (we had given up on ordering any more food or drinks) my husband asked the manager, Alan Ho, to find her and to explain what had happened so they could improve the service going forward. If they don't know there is a problem they can't fix it, right? The manager didn't want to hear it. At all. Threw a bill (that wasn't correct) at my husband and told him to pay it now or he was calling the cops and having him arrested. The hostess even tried to tell him that the waitress was MIA, but he wouldn't listen to her either. They really need to rethink their customer service. I will now tell everyone I know how I was treated and forward them to another restaurant instead. LA Burger has excellent food and a bar. Go there instead.
(1)Kevin H.
Sadly, went for happy hour, and the locals run the bar, never could get a seat, and a very unfriendly local crowd. Don't think I'll go back...
(1)Alexandra N.
If I could give 0 stars I would. My friends sushi rolls literally looked like a spice bottle was unscrewed and dumped on her sushi. It was absolutely disgusting. When we got there we waited 5 minutes to be seated, there were plenty of tables open. It took 10-15 minutes just to get our water and to even see our server. Then we ordered Miso soup, which took another 15 minutes to get. After, right after I left I started feeling sick. I got find poisoning right after eating there. Do not eat there. Absolutely awful. Never going back.
(1)Brent W.
So many better places in Plano that you can get sushi. I have had this only because I wanted sushi late at night and it was the only thing open or else I would've chosen a better place. I try different places every weekend and if you think this is good sushi then it must be the only place you have gone. It's overpriced for the quality of food that they offer. Only good thing is that it is open late.
(1)Rick D.
This place is hit or miss. Normally busy at night where they are open late. It's normally a miss during lunch, wait staff terrible and food is not as good as the evening. At night it's much better. Hostesses always seem a bit rude. My wife and I have been coming here for about 4 years and its gone down a bit in the past 2. Great place to stop if your heading to Costco. Over all a 3 or 4, definitely not a 5 as I've probably been here 40 or so times, but I do keep coming back!
(4)Ashley B.
We were skeptical as we entered Zenna because it was a little early for lunch, and the whole place overwhelmingly smelled like cleaning products (and not food), and there were only a couple of other people inside. Our server didn't make a good first impression, either. She didn't greet us, instead she just walked up and asked if we knew what we wanted yet. When my coworker answered that he needed a minute, she walked away and we had to call out our drink orders to her. Drinks that she never refilled, btw. But the food was very pleasantly surprising. I played it safe, as I tend to do, and ordered the chicken teriyaki bento box. The lunch soup that comes with it was very unique and very delicious! Sweet and spicy and very flavorful -- I've never had anything like it! My food was delicious and fresh. My coworker likes spicy, so he ordered a curry, extra spicy. He said it was delicious, and he cleaned his plate. Before we left, we noticed that the place had filled up, including two huge groups and several individuals eating at the bar. Looks like Zenna can accommodate both extremes. The peanut-ginger salad dressing was another delicious surprise. I think I'll try the peanut sauce bento box next time, because there will be a next time! I think Zenna is going into the lunch rotation when I work in our Plano office!
(4)Kelly A.
Great staff. Came for the first time during happy hour and everything was great. The environment is nice for a group of friends to sit and hangout, drink, and eat some sushi
(4)Ash D.
highly recommend this place and food
(5)Sulita V.
I love Thai and Japanese food in one place. Over the years I always had mix feelings about this place but it is a hip place to be because of their drink specials and the atmosphere and I haven't been here since my sister was here. It was so crowded when I walked in but my son was napping so I didn't mind waiting, once they called my name I walked up but the hostess and her supervisor was in a deep conversation and just walked away and I looked behind me like wtf? And even other guest was confused why they walked away, no greeting of hi, I'll take you to your table. That impression left me, oh shit, this is the start of a worse dining service for the evening. The hostess and supervisor realize I wasn't following them and the hostess walked back and apologized because I was like wtf. Luckily as soon as the server greets me he brings me a glass of water with lemons. I already knew what I wanted by looking up the menu on my phone while waiting. Ok, this place is crowded and I just need to say they had awesome team work, someone was filling up my water, taking away a dirty plate, my food came out perfectly nice and hot. The servers and the chefs were on point! It was on point for an Asian restaurant because we all know Asian places are not so great lol but this was super great tonight, it definitely makes me want to return more often. Thank you!
(4)Jen B.
They have Thai boat noodle and I loveeeee it! My boyfriend always gets the BBQ pork plate and we are always satisfied! The only thing I can say I don't like on the menu is the crab Rangoon dip... First time I had it as a dip and it was kind of watery.. There's so much on the menu but I'm the type that orders the same thing every time I go somewhere and I am happy to say there's a place I can get my noodle fix close by
(4)Deon G.
My experience with this place has been good for the six times I'd been. The food is good, but the portions aren't large. For the price, sushi is good. I do recommend the "Drunken Noodles" for first timers. The do have specials like almost every day, so depending on the time, you can get a deal.
(3)Deb G.
Back for lunch again today and just can't say enough about their awesome food! Yellow and Pineapple curries were absolutely delicious. And, love the Bento-box style.... with a good portion of the star - the curry - with sticky rice, salad with peanut sauce, two California rolls, one summer roll, and ginger delicious vegetable soup! Yummie..... can't wait to return. They have a really nice bar too and we noticed they are open until 3 AM. Hmmmm. Best Thai in DFW.
(5)Julian L.
I love this place. My spot to go after a night out. Open until 3. Shrimp thai lo mein & sushi is great. Did not receive 5 stars because 5/10 of the time they do not answer their phone when calling to place an order for delivery.
(4)Matt C.
Great food. One order of fried rice is enough for 2 people with leftovers. Go between 3 and 7 for happy hour, they have cheap Philadelphia rolls, spicy tuna rolls, and their spring rolls (the best I've ever had). We were seated on the tables kind of in the middle which seemed a little compact but for the quality of food and great prices you can't beat it. The Rosemeade location was way more open with a nicer ambiance.
(5)Lanie L.
Tried this place for the first time this weekend- I was really looking forward to some sushi. I heard the happy hour was great (and cheap!) here, so that is partly why I wanted to go in the first place. In any case, the service was good, the food was good and the drinks were good. Nothing stood out as "GREAT!" but that is ok. I would only go back if I didn't want to travel to far.
(3)Katrice S.
This has been my happy hour spot for 5 years! The atmosphere is always awesome! Bartenders are great! Heaven beef is a must! The spicy tuna roll has this spicy seasoning not a sauce! Yum!!! This is a great place to go on a date because the low light makes for a sexy experience or go with your crew and get cheap drinks & eat great appetizers this is your place. New location for me to stop & pick up take out on midway in Carrollton after work! Loves it!!
(5)Mihika B.
Been here once for the Thai and it was legit. The Tom kha soup was good. Will go back to try more items on the menu.
(4)Mary M.
What's going on with Zenna Plano? We've been there many times and it seems to be taking a dive in customer service. We watched no less than ten people leave because no hostess... Lots of empty tables but people lined up. One couple came through after their meal complaining about bad service. Bummer.
(2)Jeff W.
When I came here it was the first time I had sushi and they were very helpful in finding things I would like and I am a very picky eater. Have been back a few times and it was great every time.
(5)Lesley A.
LOVE LOVE LOVE ZENNA! It is the best place to get your Thai fix on especially late at night! The Shrimp Tempura and Volcano roll are sooooo good! One of the great places to stop by for HH! (3-7PM)
(5)Persia A.
Very good! I had soup (forgot the name of it, but it was the only one with shrimp) and it was magnificent. Good amount of soilds: shrimp, nice chunks of mushrooms, spinach, bits of tofu. It wasn't overly salty, either, which is good. Service was quick and attentive, but not harrassing. Drinks always kept filled. Clean and well-decorated. My friends ordered sushi and it was presented well (they also cleaned their plates!). We had 2 desserts - fried ice cream with caramel sauce and sticky rice with mango. Uhhh, yes. Please and thank you. Fried ice cream has always been a pleasure! Sticky rice is a good choice for anyone who doesn't like something too too sweet. We went Saturday night, and there were 25 birthdays (hyperbole) and they have a grand display. They have a dancing dragon and dumline (well. . . one drum).
(5)Alisa V.
A great place for meeting with friends or coworkers for drinks &great food. Family oriented as well. Place is open 10am till 3am every night!! Could say one of the best happy hour menus in dfw with appetizers &sushi from 3pm-7pm, EVERYDAY. Drinks as well like $1 Bud light or Zeigen(dark). $4 12oz Rocks &Frozen Margaritas. $2 wells! Full bar. Off happy hour is a full Thai &sushi menu. Most expensive sushi or dish is under $13. Steal! Great place, diverse crowd, food, prices. This is the place. (Friday is their busiest night with wait lists that move pretty fast &other people are always willing to wait. Drive past, lots ALWAYS full.)
(5)Megan H.
Didn't have much expectation for the sushi to be the most authentic since this is a Japanese/Thai restaurant, but seriously, the sushi rice is not supposed to be SWEET, almost like a dessert. Did you forget about the rice vinegar?! The sweet rice tasted super gross with the raw fish. The powder wasabi is bland and it is probably the ugliest sushi nigiri that I have ever seen/eaten in my life. Fish quality is okay and the cut is big thus two stars. But seriously, who slaps a piece of fish on a big ball of rice and calls it Sushi? It is a joke.
(2)Mike T.
Took awhile before somebody came up to the front to seat us. Food was decent I guess but was one of the least impressive Asian restaurant I've been to. Also, we ordered a bunch of the happy hour items in addition to the full price food items. Everything seemed obviously premade and I would have definitely been mad if I would have paid full price for them.
(3)Andrew D.
Made a pick up order over the phone for some curry chicken and paid extra to add shrimp. Came to pick it up and the food wasn't ready. Was okay with it because it was busy, so I waited. 15 minutes later server says they forgot to put in the order and he would have his manager come talk to me. 15 minutes after this food comes from a different server, but the manager never even made an effort to come say sorry. Don't say your going to do something if you're not. The server then tells me they gave me extra rice for having to wait. Really. steamed rice. Thanks. What am I going to do with an extra thing of steamed rice? Throw it away for you? After I get home, frustrated from all of this, I come to find they didn't even add the shrimp that I paid for to be added. At this point I'm too tired and frustrated to even get it fixed.

So I had my wallet stolen and had to replace my ID. The DPS gave me a temporary paper ID and so far every restaurant I've been to has been nice and served me alcohol as long as I showed an ID..well, everyone except Zenna. I came for the happy hour and was hoping to enjoy it with a few friends. Being early I got us a booth and was disgusted by the cleanliness (or lack of) at the booth. The disgusting condition of the booth in turn led many flies floating around my booth. I was constantly having to swat flies while the waitress brought me my water. I then ordered a beer for myself as I waited for my friends and showed her my ID. She told me they don't accept paper ID's and haven't for a while but when I told her it was a legal document she kept saying she would not accept it. I asked her why she wouldn't accept it and she just told me to talk to the manager. The manager was extremely rude and did not offer a reason as to why they do not accept paper ID's. Keep in mind that I had to been to Zenna the prior week and received alcohol from 2 separate waiters there while using my paper ID. She said to point out the people who served me and she would fire them on the spot. I was not going to nark on people who treated me like a human being the week before. When i told her I wouldn't say, she said there was nothing she could do and told me to look online for a reason why Zenna would not accept my ID. She wasn't even able to explain it herself. She said sorry but I could tell she did not mean it. As soon as I asked her a following question she acted as if she didn't hear me and walked back into her office. I wanted to see this policy but no one working there could show it to me. They just asked me to leave. It was very unprofessional of the manager and staff. I love sushi but I will not be returning to this place. They have lost a customer.

I love Zenna. The food here is amazing. It made me realize how much I actually like Thai food. The atmosphere and staff are perfect too. I come here with family as well as friends! My go to dishes are: drunken noodles, panang curry, and basil fried rice. Yum!
(5)Sonya R.
Worst experience EVER horrible food, there was a roach in my food and they told me it must have gotten in there while on the table ? Wtf nasty place. And they also took our beers bc someone at the table was underage! It was ridiculous.. Never again. Actually 0 stars if I could.

Came here for a late lunch with low expectations. Ordered Tom Kha soup as an appetizer and the Seagull roll with no cream cheese. When the soup came out I was pleasantly surprised by the taste. It was nice and creamy from the coconut milk but had a spicy kick to it as well, excellent. The roll came out and I had noticed a hair on the wasabi. When I notified my server, she quickly replaced the wasabi with a new one. The roll itself was not bad, nothing out of the world but good enough for its moderately cheap price. I would love to try more food from here next time I'm in Texas. Decent sushi for a student on budget.

I have been coming to this Zenna for many years and have eaten some fantastic food here, and then some that is not so fantastic. Pad Thai has always been a favorite of mine at Zenna, but the quality has become inconsistent, ranging from a different level of sweetness per dish and a variance of how moist it is. I have also experienced the Thai Peanut with cold vegetables too often. There is a lack of consistency on how spicy you request your food to be, and the actual level of spice has dropped significantly since I began eating here. Their sushi is good for the price. The prices are phenomenal, and are the main reason why I have eaten here so often. Their happy hour prices keep my wallet happy and their bento boxes during lunch are extremely reasonable. The service is typically good but I have had experiences with waiters who don't have a sense of urgency, often leaving me waiting to order drinks or to request a check. Overall I would love to see an improvement in the consistency of the food, which is the main reason I go and the reason I will leave this a three star review.

Ask specifically for their Thai menu. It's completely different and I guarantee you that it'll be a treat. I love the 1000 year eggs and I'm not sure exactly what else I've had from that menu but it's always been an adventure. It is not your typical westernized Thai menu (though they do have that one with the sushi. It's meh- ask for this special menu.) If you don't know what to choose, ask the waitstaff- they are really happy and more than happy to help you pick something from the "secret" menu. Happy hour is ~great~ for alcohol, but sushi here is meh overall. I wouldn't waste time on it. Honestly just ask for the special menu and you're set. Also this place is open LATE, so it's great drunk food if you're rollin' in late after the bars have closed.
(4)Elliott M.
My experience would have been wonderful if I had some attention from my waiter. His name was ICE which was exactly how his service was...ice cold. We were here for over an hour and we saw our server all of 5 times, which included the 3 times he brought our food. We didn't even get refills on our drinks. On a positive note, the food is good for the price. Service, however, is lackluster at best.

Came here after midnight with friends. It's my first time here, so I was kinda expecting the place to be somewhat empty.. but it was full. Luckily, it didn't take long for us to be seated at a table. I did my research before I left, but there was a lot of dishes that I wanted to try. So I asked our waitress if I get the heaven beef or the garlic crispy pork ribs. She said both are good, but maybe try the ribs first. and so I did. I also ordered tempura shrimp sushi. When ribs first came, I was disappointed. THE PORTION WAS SO FREAKING SMALL. I was like how can this be?! and then I remembered that this is an appetizer. -sadface- to be honest, it wasn't that great. each pieces didn't have much meat and it was hard to chew it off the bones. The sushi was good. Now I understand what people meant by honey water in their reviews. BUT it wasn't enough! I was still hungry. I didn't eat all day that day, so I ordered another dish. and made sure to ask how big it was. I ordered the pineapple fried rice. It was the only big dish there that was interesting to try mainly because I don't like Thai food. It was alright. My friends liked it, but it was okay enough to eat. I''ll come back again to try more sushi.

I arrived to my party late, but in time to order with everybody else. I ordered my wine when I ordered my food, and when all of the food (except mine) came out, I still didnt have wine. Not even a water. I had to ask another server for my wine, and I saw him speak to mine, and my server came back asking about "the soup I wanted". My food came right about when everyone was ready for the check. I'd understand if I ordered late, but I ordered with everyone else. My friend ordered hot tea, and never received it. I ordered a retro roll without the jalapeno, and sure enough, it had it on top. I told my server as long as if it was just on top, it was ok I just didn't want it in the roll, and he assured me it wasn't. It was. I've never really liked this place because I don't like the quality of their sushi. I was seeing an old friend, so I put that aside. The location next to me has always given me great service, and I'm happy with them. Still don't like the sushi, but at least I can get my drink in under 20 minutes.
(1)D. R.
Zenna is delicious! I had the No.4 Yellow Curry with Chicken. It was very fresh and tasty. As far as spiciness. I asked for a 2, between 1-5. I will definitely return!
(4)Vanessa Z.
this convenient location right off of 75 makes it really easy for a midnight snack to a late dinner! it is great for groups and the service is excellent! their food is very diverse Asian food from Thai curry to Japanese Sushi. very interesting combination but none the less good in its own way! I still haven't found my favorite dish from here but their curry and pad thai are probably the best thing they have. Never tried their sushi because i heard it is very inconsistence. meaning sometimes the fish are fresh and sometimes are not. some of my friends told me he got diarrhea after eating there one day and told me to never go back. so very mixed feelings about their sushi. the upside is that they open til late at night! perfect for midnight munchies! come try it out! maybe you'll like the diversity mixed asian food!
(4)Michelle N.
Love this place so much. Dynamite roll is my fave. But everything is A+++ Happy Hour is a great time to come but wait is always 30 mins at least.
(5)Dennis S.
Had lunch here today and was impressed with the food. My initial reaction was a bit cautious. I was greeted by a busboy with a backwards baseball cap. He found me a table and I waited for a bit for a server. Once we got to that point things were fine. My server was very polite, friendly and efficient. She brought out some wonderful soup to start things up. I ordered a Bento box lunch with chicken pad Thai noodles. It was very good. Bottom line is I had a wonderful lunch with good service for less than $10 before tip. I will be back with my wife next time!
(4)Thomas H.
The service is god awful. I had the tempura and it was tasteless. They are blasting rap so loud you can't talk to your table. The servers were yelling and screaming in front of the sushi bar being obnoxious. A total fail by any means of late night sushi.
(1)Vanessa V.
The customer service here is horrible! I called in for delivery a few nights ago, the hostess Naomi picked up the phone and rudely asked what I wanted. She was talking to others in the background, while taking my order & giggling etc. It was very unprofessional in my opinion. She told me my order would be delivered within 45 mins to an hour and abruptly hung up the phone. She did not ask if I needed anything else. An hour and a half passed & yet my order has yet to arrive, I called back and hostess began arguing with me over the phone regarding the delivery status of the food. It had been long passed the delivery time that was quoted and since I had placed the order of my food. Instead of putting me on hold for a manager in this situation she insisted that I was wrong with the arrival time of the food. She continued to speak in an disrespectful tone and refused to acknowledge that I was upset and would have preferred speaking to management.
(1)Brian F.
4 stars on the happy hour deals. From 4 - 7pm M - F they have a great HH! Plenty of cheap eats and great beer prices. I also like the atmosphere here as well. Overall the food was just ok, but at HH prices you really can't complain. Outside of HH though I'm not sure I'd eat here as I just wasn't overly impressed with the food at all, however their regular prices certainly aren't bad either. Either way I'll be back for HH in the future!
(4)Santhosh J.
Landed at this place last night since I was looking for a place with good ratings open late... It is a gem, loved the ambience, the fact that the place is lively and the food was tasty as well... Had the Tom Yum Chicken Soup which was very delicious and spiced appropriately... Took Drunken Noodles combo with spice level of 3, it was really good as well.. Portion sizes are good enough for one person and the service is reasonably quick given that the place is almost packed even around midnight... Promptly posted on my FB wall that this is a good place open that late since many of us end up working late due to the nature of our work... Since I keep coming to Dallas on work often, I see myself eating at this place in my future trips too...
(4)Jordan S.
inconsistant. but still very good on its good days.
(3)Renee M.
Its good at happy hour. the drinks are good but not as I expected on the sushi.
(3)Court B.
Great happy hour deals! You will always wait at least 15 minutes for food on their best night. However, the food is good, and if you like spicy food, then order a spice level of at least a 4 or 5. Good: sushi, pad see ew, and fried ice cream.
(4)Blair W.
We eat here a lot cause the atmosphere is up to date and the food is delicious. I usually get the Basil fried rice with tofu. Great service, great food and great hospitality. I had the pleasure of being served by Angie. Everything was smooth sailing. Loved it.
(4)Andrea R.
It was a Saturday night and we arrived just before the rush and got a table on the patio. We loved the food, had no complaints there. However, one of the meals never came and we couldn't flag down our server to save a life. We eventually told him not to bother bringing the missing meal and requested our checks. He returned to tell us the missing food was ready (although he didn't have it with him) and basically said we were paying for it. We were in shock since we had finished eating about 15 minutes earlier and had already decided this server was about the worst we had ever had. I quickly spoke up and told him we didn't want it and he had better bring the checks. One of the group members found a manager who was brash (to say the least) but told us we didn't have to pay for it and she would pay for one of our appetizers. When our server came back out, she preceded to yell at him and argue in front of the entire patio.. and we were still waiting to get our checks. When we got our checks, of course they were wrong, and we had to send them back. This was quite possibly the worst service I've ever had.. The food though.. was pretty great.
(3)Paige A.
LOVE THEIR SUSHI! I also enjoy starting my meal off with their cumber salad and miso soup. I love coming to this place with my friends as well, they have an amazing happy hour during the week.
(5)Gabriel V.
Came here a few times , I love it here , Last night My Wife and I came for Dinner. Guess we came when it was getting busy.The hostess was in a panic , but one of the waitresses quickly took charge and was seating or wait listing everyone. When we sat we come to see the waitress who was seating us was our actual waitress. Her name is Aissa, and I gotta say she is probably one of the best waitresses I have ever come across. and I have been in the industry for a long time. She was quick with our refills quick to take our order and check up on us and very cheerful and upbeat. Zenna has a gold mine w/ her there. We ordered 2 appetizers to start off with. The crab ragoon dip is off the hook!!! you can never get enough of it. The Spring rolls are up there also. We ordered a few sushi rolls , she had ordered the Dynamite Roll and Spicy Tuna roll , I ordered the Volcano , EXCELLENT! It def hit the spot , This is one of our favorite Japanese/Thai spots.
(5)Krista P.
AWFUL SERVICE!!! Unless you're here for happy hour, don't spend the money. And even if you are here for it. still. The service is so Awful even coming here for happy hour pains me.
(1)Amy S.
We went here last night for dinner and the first thing I will note is that our server Alisa was fantastic. She was very personable and attentive. The interesting thing was the music was similar to what you would find at a hip hop club. It's definitely a fun place to go out to with your friends - up to you if you want to bring young kids here (depending on how you feel about certain song lyrics!). The food was good, especially the green curry. The fried ice cream was also yummy and for a very affordable price! Good place for a late night hang out with buddies.
(5)Liss B.
Cool environment with lots of food options, including sushi and thai. Open till 4am, which was great since we were passing by around 11pm; we still had to wait about 10 minutes for a table. Super friendly staff! The red curry wasn't my favorite, sushi was decent. I'll definitely be back to try other options!
(4)Hillary D.
I want to love this place because it's open late but the menu is so " hit or miss " that I don't know if it's worth it y'all. I've been here twice and it's always the same. Half of what you order ( if you haven't ordered that dish before) is questionable while the other half is delicious. For example, the last time I was here we ordered several of their rolls. They weren't terrible but they sufficed at 12 AM. However, when we went today and ordered their Sashimi Sampler ( D?) it's not a stretch to say that I had to hold my breath to eat it. The sashimi RANKED. Keep in mind that I eat a lot of sashimi and sushi ( even had a few allergic reactions due to bad refrigeration) and I've never gotten a plate of sashimi that smelled and tasted so... ripe. We didn't send it back because the restaurant was so busy, but it was definitely a bad start. Next came our sorry excuse for Chilean Sea Bass. This is a gorgeous cut of fish that they completely destroyed because there was no flavor ( or salt). On the opposite side of the spectrum, our Eastern Salmon, which we've ordered before, was so sweet that I felt a cavity developing. The Fried Calamari were just pieces of grease ( also without salt). The high note to the meal was definitely the Pineapple Seafood Fried Rice. Huge Diver Scallops, perfectly cleaned and butterflied shrimp, and tender calamari with sweet pineapple chunks. My conclusion after two visits to Zenna's: Come if you must, there are much better alternatives around. If you're here definitely order the Pineapple Fried Rice with Seafood, Seaweed Salad, & Octopus Salad. AVOID: All raw fish, sushi portion of the menu in general, fried calamari, Eastern Salmon, & Chilean Sea bass. I've always had good service here, not sure what all the fussing is about.
(3)Daniel S.
Not bad at all. Moderately priced, food is pretty good. I bought the "Heaven Beef" off the Hot Tapas section which is described as "Thai style beef jerky marinated in coriander seeds." That description is spot on, it was literally a bowl of cooked beef-jerky-like meat. It was alright, though I'm not sure I would pay $6 for it again.
(3)Sue B.
Whether it's for happy hour or a late night meal, this is my go to place. The happy hour menu is tough to beat. The discounts are huge not only on cocktails and beer, but also food items like sushi and appetizers. When I eat here, I always get a Thai tea and the drunken noodles (pad kee mow) with chicken. They scale spiciness on a scale of 1 to 5. I usually get a level 3 and it is pretty hot. My hubby usually opts for the red curry chicken and gets a level 2 or 3 depending on his mood. Sometimes we get a California roll or another one of their various rolls of sushi as an appetizer. They are always a great starter to our meal and don't leave us full before our entrees even get to the table. This place is a great happy hour if you're on a budget and the perfect cure to a late night of drinking!!!
(4)Chelsea B.
Love the Thai peanut and the garlic ribs and who else would be open until 3 in the morning ? This awesome place that's who :-)
(5)Vi L.
the food came out very fast and was super cheap since it was happy hour! The TomYum was a little salty but for a big bowl for only $9? It was worth it! The server was extremely nice and attentive. She forgot one of our orders and apologized with a free desert which was great. Love this place!
(5)Alan N.
i loveeeeer this place. good drink. good food. amazing good price and most importantly very good music. and its not thay bad of a place. its a high end for casual dine in. very lovely decor.
(5)Alicia R.
This place was packed but luckily we were able to sit at the sushi bar and get seated right away. We had never been here so we asked our server Daniel for a recommended roll. He said get the Carnage Roll (not on the menu). It was delicious. We also got the coconut soup (can't think of the name) and it was amazing as well. Side note there was a birthday and they have a funny surprise.
(5)J O.
I like their fried rice, its one of the better ones. Can't beat their happy hour drafts. Good place to meet up and have a chat.
(4)Dominic C.
I like the ambiance but the food is below average, especially for their prices. Overpriced and undervalued. Go for the drink specials, avoid the food.
(2)Chris W.
I just went there to meet friends for a drink. The service was great and the atmosphere was fun!
(4)Sam T.
Wasn't too excited to have Asian food for my first meal on this trip to Texas. I'm from Cali and there's so many places for me too choose from there. I didn't expect to be so happy coming out. Food: There's a mix of everything. Not a fan of their sushi but all the Thai dishes were amazing. Thai tea was bomb! Service: Above average Environment: Dark environment. They do a quick lion dance performance if it's your birthday. Price: Decently priced. Food: 4 Service: 4 Environment: 4 Price: 4
(4)Jin S.
Went to Zenna cause my friends all wanted to go eat there.... Let me just say this place has the worst service ever! When we arrived around 7:00pm just a party of four they said that our wait time would only be around 15min... which by the end it was almost 1hr we had other people who came in later then us has been seated. It was then my friend went up to go say that we had been waiting for a while... appearently they had forgotten about us..... wow... then when we finally got seated we got our drinks our waitress named Milli.. or something like that. We ordered 2 stir fry noodles, 1 Noodle soup, 1 fried rice, and some cocnut curry rice and chicken...... Heres another problem.. they all came in at different times first the 1 flat noodle then the pad thai. and like 5 mins later the fried rice. Then the curry rice...??!?!? did they forget about the Noodle soup?!?!? i think they did it took them about 15 mins to get this one out.. by this time everyone else is already done eaiting.... AND what else is that they forgot the noodle... I know from experience it doesnt take that long to make a noodle soup let along shouldnt let out order to come out at seperate times... needless to say I WILL NEVER GO BACK.. most horrible experience of all....
(1)Chilly W.
this place has some of the best dishes. favorites are Crab Meat Dynamite Roll, Heaven Beef and Crispy Wrapped Shrimp. A lot to chosse from. hard to find a parking spot at dinner time.
(4)Natalie S.
I came here this past Sunday around 7:45 for dinner. Originally our dinner plans were Sushi Sake but they are closed on Sunday, and this place also had sushi (and sake). We went in and it was kind of strange, and I wasn't sure what kind of restaurant this was. There were people dressed up, there was a guy in socks and Nike sandals, and there were people literally in pajamas. They are opened til 3am and the bar was full before it was even 8pm. The other weird thing was the dishes they had behind a glass case. I don't think they have swapped out these plates in a while and the 'fried rice' looked a little maggoty (but this has been a plate in a glass case for who knows how long, so I let it slide). When we were finally seated the restaurant itself was a lot nicer than the entrance waiting area, and I felt a little better. Our server was very pleasant and had our warm sake ready just moments after we ordered it. The menu is.... odd. It started off with cold tapas (reminder, this is a Thai AND Japanese restaurant), hot tapas, then full sized entrees, then sushi. We decided to split a few tapas since we had never had their food (and we were prepared to have different things at Sushi Sake) so my appetite wanted a little bit of everything. We got the Fried Calamari, our server said it was 'totally different than normal calamari, you get a sweet and sour sauce and not marinara'. It was pretty tasty and came with crushed peanuts on top (put peanuts on top of anything and I'm happy). We got the Golden Samosas which I enjoyed and found flavorful, but not too spicy as they can often be. We got Fried Gyoza which was great and ordering them fried instead of steamed made them very crispy. The best thing we ordered was the Heavenly Beef, which was heavenly. After our second round or tapas we regretted not getting another order of the beef. We tried the Garlic Crispy Pork Ribs which I do NOT recommend. They have tiny little bones in them (and the meat does not fall off the bone) so you basically have to bite into the rib and pull the bone out of your mouth. Have you ever gone on a date and pulled small pork bone ribs out of your mouth? It's not very attractive. Lastly, we ordered the Tuna Tataki which fit the theme of this restaurant, ODD. It was seared tuna on a plate, with a wine glass upside down in the middle, raw tuna inside the wine glass and 4 pieces of tuna sushi on top (of the bottom of the wine glass). It was at this moment we realized why Sushi Sake was closed, fish is not fresh on Sunday evenings.

Zenna delivery is amazing! The nice lady on the phone told me the driver would be here in an hour, but going above and beyond, he got here in 15 minutes. I tipped him $15 for how long it took him!
(5)Phuong V.
Been here a few times and each and every time has been wonderful. Great staff, good food. No complaints.
(5)Nick B.
Food is amazing and such an extensive menu! Thai good with a twist! There is something that everyone can enjoy and they are open till 3am. I have been a few hundred times and the food is always amazing. The service can be slow from time to time, but I don't mind waiting.
(4)Rolf H.
Unfortunately we never got a chance to try. We made a reservation and left a vm as nobody would pick up the phone incl my phone number. When we arrived we were happy as this place is a zoo! However, they told us they don't take reservations and we can wait for 1 hour. 1 star for zero customer service - and I didn't like the crowd that much ... Sorry guys
(1)Ernesto C.
LOVE this place my wife and I are frequent costumers. almost every Friday we go there for happy hour, and to spend time together. I personally love the Tom Kha Kai and the shrimp roll. The fried ice cream is my wife's favorite and we usually end up sharing it because is so good. The decor is different and the customers picturesque. This is certainly a trending place. This is not a fast food joint so whenever you go ask for some cold tapas and place your order at that time. However not everything is perfect in this place. the restrooms are sometimes forgotten and since they are next to the bar, well... you know.
(4)Kristen D.
First the pros: Happy Hour is amazing. Seriously, if you don't go during happy hour you are wasting money. We spent $35 total and got a ton of food! $6 for a beer tower? Yes please! Sushi ranges from 2-3 dollars, appetizers range from 3-4 dollars. It's perfect. We had a mixture of items that were happy hour and were not. Plano roll, shrimp tempura, thai fried rice, fried calamari (the best I've ever had!) edamame, and tulip dumplings. We left full and happy. The service was great, our server was the sweetest little lady. The decor is nice, it was clean and very trendy. Now the cons: The sushi was so so. Not the best I've had but not the worst. It was fresh, but the tempura roll fell apart immediately. The edamame was so so. Overall, everything was good just not great. But you get what you are paying for so it's not a big deal. However, don't skimp on the fried calamari!! It's amazing ! Anyways- the seaweed for the sushi was really tough. Which was weird. Overall the food is mediocre. But it's great for a cheap date.
(4)Albert M.
Went there for the first time last weekend. For starters, seeing local lowlifes with neck tats and wife-beaters sitting on the patio just made me wonder what kind of establishment we have here. Daughter tells me that the hipsters love it because of cheap drinks and eats at happy hour. Next up, could we get someone to wait on us? Well, after about 10 minutes, yes. Then another 5-7 passes and we still have no drinks; water, tea and soda--no time-consuming cocktails. When we decide the weather is iffy, tables grossly sticky,and we need to go inside, the same waiter continues to try and take care of us. He was very polite but had no business waiting tables. Slow, forgetful and inattentive. The food. My tempura roll still had the shrimp tail embedded in it. Not sticking out the end, but embedded inside. Despite that, it was tasty enough. My pad thai was much too sweet. In all honesty, the pad thai at Thai Box is so much better. Mine, other than being sweet, was really flavorless. Huge disappointment. Daughter loved her California roll (how hard is it to screw up one of those, really?). She also ate all of her Philadelphia roll, so I assume she enjoyed it. Her boyfriend got beef teriyaki and his broccoli was tough. He thought overall the dish was pretty lousy. I won't be back. Poor service and average to poor food quality was bad enough. A significant clientele of rednecks, gangstas/wannabe gangstas and hoochie mamas was also a turnoff. I SO wish for a return to dress codes for restaurants.
(2)Christine S.
I LOVE this place!!!! I order for delivery at least 2 times a week! My home is not within there delivery zone, so i only order when i'm at work, but i am addicted to this place! I can't get enough, the Thai food here tastes almost as good as LA Thai food, hand's down best Thai food in DFW for me. I grew up in LA so i really know good Thai, there sushi rolls are pretty delish as well. Here are some of the thing's i have tried so far: Pad Thai-4 stars Pad See Eew-4 stars Spicy Basil Fried Rice-4.5 Stars Green Curry-5 Stars Tom Kha Kai-4.8 Stars Tom Yum-4 Stars Chicken Satay-4 Stars Eel Roll-4 Stars Zenna Roll-4.5 Stars Dynamite Roll-4.5 Stars Midnight Roll-4 Stars Chicken Wings (Teriyaki)-2 Stars
(4)Carissa H.
Good food, good service (both in restaurant and in delivery). It is typically always busy here, especially during happy hour. My only real complaint is that I wish they would either offer a dedicated parking spot for those picking up a take away order or that they would offer curbside service. It's frustrating to not be able to park & run in to grab your order, because of limited parking.
(4)Sherrie T.
I never got to taste the food. The attitude of the hostess was so poor my friend and I left. We were trying a new restaurant for lunch and decided on Zennas. The conversation the hostess was having on her phone was far more important to her than acknowledging customers. (It was very obvious she was having a personal conversation.) We gave her plenty of time to look up but sadly were ignored. There are plenty of Thai and sushi restaurants in this town - Zennas is no longer on my list of places to try.
(1)Kinman T.
Came here for a late lunch on a week day. Ordered some Bento boxes. There were not many customers inside, but our food was very slow in arriving. The wait was excruciating since we were quite hungry. When the food finally came, found it to be quite good. The portion sizes were uneven though, with the salad and California roll on the small side, while the entree portion was large. One caveat is that my daughter, who had braces, could not eat the broccoli in the Pad See Ewe because the broccoli was barely cooked. Overall, good value if you have some time to spare.
(4)A S.
Good ambiance and good food. We loved the combination Hawaiian fried rice, pad Thai and pad kee Mao. Spring rolls were good too.
(4)Kristin S.
I am an absolute addict! I call Zenna probably 4 times a week. The Sashimi seaweed salad is my favorite and I would highly recommend it to any sashimi fans out there. The service is also phenomenal. Greet you with a smile in a timely manner.
(5)Sam H.
I've noticed that the new management is terrible. I know they are trying to go corporate but that's no reason to start hiring terrible waiters or managers. I use to love the place but it slowly died off. There are a few good things still going for the place like happy hour or late night business hours.
(2)Ravi J.
Love going here whenever I have late night craving for Thai food .. Open late in night !! Good for BIG groups ..
(4)David P.
I'm going to try and be fair. If you love sushi and eat it on a regular basis and/or explore different flavors/rolls/etc. just don't eat at Zenna's. You'll be thoroughly disappointed. I question the freshness of their fish. I've had a few of their happy hour rolls that tasted just a bit too fishy and were off-color. On the other hand, if you're just wanting a good place to hang, a nice patio to sit on, and some good beer specials, it's a good place to be. The thing that I really enjoy about Zenna's is that they're open every single night of the week till 3AM. It makes it a great hangout place, especially with their towers of beer. As far as food goes, they have some pretty good dishes. Nothing real fancy, but good solid portions, good flavors, and reasonably priced. So overall. I've had better sushi, but for a good place with decent Asian food, towers of beer, and that's open late, this is the place to be. Not to mention, their "birthday song" is fantastically embarrassing if you need to payback your friend for any prior torment. Afterthought: Service has always kind of sucked. They need to train their staff a bit better.
(3)Juliette Q.
The food was amazing, our server was great, but the hostess Hana wasn't. Gave us an attitude and when we asked for an apology, all she could say was "oh well". Diners should NOT tolerate this rudeness and disrespect. Could've just apologized and made things better from the start. Therefore, the overall experience was not too well.
(2)Kayla D.
I was impress when i first walk in and didn't realize how late they open. Looks like a happy hour type of place that you want to hang out with a bunch of friends. Service was nice and quick with a great selection of foods on the menu. Price was decent and the food looks very appetizing. I just ordered something safe and basic first before i venture out to see if they are any good. I had egg roll, chicken pad Thai, spider roll, and tuna tartar. Over all, it wasn't bad for what i paid, but the quality aren't so great. This is just a convenience late night hang out place if you don't know where to go after midnight.

Mediocre food at a relatively decent price I don't care much for the food here because it is nothing spectacular. The atmosphere on the other hand is completely worth the experience. I enjoy sitting in this restaurant and their sushi and drink happy hours seem to be a great bargain as well.

LOVE THEIR HAPPY HOUR ! its from 3-7pm everydayyyy ! its usually very busy but i don't mind the wait for the cheap sushi rolls and 50 cent beers. they're open til 3 am everyday too, so it beats going to ihop or dennys i'd rather have the beef boat noodle soup. or the crispy BBQ over rice to satisfy late night cravings! also try the heaven beef ! its beef from heaven :] the atmosphere of the restaurant is fun! sure, there are one or two people that are maybe not as quiet as others but its probably because they're taking advantage of the 9$ beer towers ! I am more than likely to come back here and eat. if not order delivery ! :]

This is my first review and first experience with Zenna, so please bear with me :) I ordered delivery from Zenna this afternoon to treat myself to a nice lunch. I ordered through the online system (got tom-kha kai soup, thai shrimp fried rice, and shrimp tempura) and while anticipation made it feel like forever, I actually got a confirmation call from the restaurant within 5 minutes. Delivery time was estimated at about an hour (woe is my tummy), but it unexpectedly arrived 15 minutes early, yay! If you are anything like me, the very first thing you do upon receiving a delivery order is stuff your nose into the bag and breathe in the scents. This deserves a hard page break (imagine a lovely visual simulation here, exciting no?)...Back to my story...err, review. So, I breathed in and convulsed in the glory of food scented goodness, i.e. it smelled really, really good. It did not disappoint. A few points here: Shrimp Tempura- Had a lot of breading and was pretty greasy (I normally greatly dislike greasy, fried food. All I can taste is the grease, and then the after taste of grease). That said, I practically inhaled all 4 of them...or five; I honestly didn't take time to really count. They were heavily breaded, overly greasy and absolutely the tastiest shrimp tempura that I have had in a long time. I even tried one after removing the breading (and therefore the grease), and it just wasn't as good. Likely, a diet buster, but totally worth it! Thai Shrimp Fried Rice: On the first bite, I did not like this at all. The second bite was better. The third bite made me think that maybe this was alright after all. The fourth, fifth, sixth...it goes on...bites, made me realize how very much I DID like this! I ordered a lot of food and I am a tiny girl with a tiny stomach (I eat in shifts...all day), so it is currently resting in my fridge as leftovers. But it calls me again already. I hear it. Calling my name. I'm a fan, obviously. Tom Kha Kai- I don't like sweet foods, not really even candy all that much, but definitely not in something that isn't a dessert (I know, Thai? I chose Thai, known for having sour, sweet, salty, and bitter components? I'm irrational like that). I had never had this before but it looked tasty, so I gave it a shot. For me, it was...weird. I haven't quite come to terms with it yet. I keep eating it, and I'm not sure whether I like it or not. Maybe in small doses. Based on my experience with the tempura and the fried rice, I'm fairly sure it is pretty awesome, even if not entirely my bag. Though I keep going back. I'm confused. OK, lazy bones! TL;DR Version! Tempura: greasy, overly breaded awesomeness. I want 10 more. Thai Shrimp fried rice: Delish! Will order again and again. Tom Kha Kai: I found it too sweet for me (I'm sensitive to sweet), but I keep going back for more anyway. What??? Fast delivery, extensive menu, great service(delivery), affordable prices. Would I go/order delivery from Zenna again: 100% yes! And, as a night owl, they are open late! Big bonus for me!

BEWARE!!!! Zenna has signs warning about towing when parking at the Motel 6 behind them, so we parked in a different lot next to them. We then proceeded to ask the hostess if we were in a safe spot, and she reassured us that we were in a safe spot. Needless to say this story ends with a towed car and a $290 towing fee. Yes, TWO HUNDRED AND NINETY! I used to love going to Zenna for their sushi and Thai; however, our experience is now marred by such a poor experience.

We tried this restaurant after much debate if we would ever go or not. The restaurant is driven for those who drink... BUT you can't pass up the deal on the food... Sushi... My husband ordered tuna sushi and the spicy tuna roll. The sushi was $1 a piece and the roll was $3. Obviously, the tuna was the same quality as a fancy sushi restaurant, but it was still tasty. I had the salmon ($1 a piece) and the Philadelphia roll ($3.50). I thought mine was really good and couldn't complain at all. Wings... We ordered the pepper garlic wings and they were so tasty! Those, at the happy hour cost was $4.50. The chicken was crispy and had a ton of flavor. Ribs... We ordered the pork short ribs, and it was well worth the $4.50 we paid. The people sitting next ordered them, and we ordered it because of their plate. Thia Tea... Order it. It's delicious. Maybe a little too sweet, but it was still tasty. This place is busy. The waiters are constantly running around, but we did not have a rude server at all. If we asked for something, she got it as quick as she could. Obviously, this isn't a super high end place if you are looking for amazing high quality fish (it isn't Sake Sushi in Richardson). But it is filling and tasty. We will be going back again.

OMG hands down best sushi happy hour/happy hour menu! Great food... great service... great atmosphere! We eat here at least twice a month! Highly recommend for sushi and thai food! Dddddeeeeellliissshhhh!
(5)Ali B.
Good price - $10 bucks for single entree for myself that I took home. Food is good
(4)Jared S.
The food was flavorful. Had the pad Thai and the Thai tea. Our group all enjoyed the food. The spice levels can be hit or miss. They rank the spices on a 0-5 scale. We got a 2 and tasted like a 5. Sunday service can be hit or miss as well. Three servers for the large crowd made for a long ticket time and our orders all came out at different times. It's a good restaurant for Thai and sushi...
(3)Christopher B.
I was very pleasantly surprised. A somewhat odd restaurant - Thai/Japanese. So getting my Massuman curry in a bento box was just plain weird. But it was good. The stuff that came with it, less so. The salad - meh. The roll thing - meh. The sushi roll - meh! Service was sprightly and efficient. All in all a nice lunch surprise.
(3)Soannia T.
Great late night Japanese/Thai place- open til 3 am every night. Mediocre sushi and thai food. If you get a chance, check out the Thai menu. One of my favs is the Thai egg salad. JUST try it!
(3)Paige D.
THE BEST HAPPY HOUR IN PLANO. Love this place sooooo much! But the food is only mediocre. I really don't recommend the sushi but I love the fried rice.
(4)T P.
The Plano Zenna location was once a local favorite. It was great to have a late-night place to meet in Plano outside of IHOP for Denny's. Unfortunately, quality has suffered over the past year and the place is, as sad as it is to say, quite dirty. So here are the good parts. Zenna is open until 3 am, has a pretty inexpensive happy hour until 7pm, even on Fridays. The portions are large and I usually have some left over to take home. The Thai tea and desserts are visually appealing and tasty to boot. If you go here on your birthday, make sure they bring out the dragon costume and drums and sing. That's always fun. The negatives include filthy, broken-down bathrooms, rowdy college students that yell, smash dishware, and pee on the lawn outside during happy hour, and sushi rolls that are loose and fall apart between your chop sticks. The tables are usually sticky and service is slow. Getting seated in the empty dining room at lunch can take 10 minutes just for the hostess to acknowledge your existence because she's too busy gabbing with friends on the phone, and it usually takes about an hour and a half to be seated, eat, and pay during the sparse lunch hour. A year ago I would have given a much better review, but as I watch the quality of food and service disintegrate from week to week, the restaurant no longer appeals to me and I hesitate to bring family or friends.
(2)Mike B.
If I was a 21 year old this would be a fun place because it's a decent happy hour. But the food was about two and a half stars. Curry at a 5 was still not hot.
(2)Dee K.
One of the best dine in adventure for couples and family, great service, great food and all around great atmosphere. I recommend the seaweed salad, heaven beef, Tom yum soup, drunken noodles heck I have to many favorites!! (^_^)
(5)Travis B.
This review is for their delivery service. I ordered at 6:27pm. It is now 8:02pm. I called again at the hour:20 mark and she apologized. "They had a back up on orders." No excuse! We live less maybe 10 minutes away. Their service in the restaurant is good. So is the food. I just called the third time, to cancel our order.Ashely said the manager is the one delivering our food. This should be good. ...The manager came with our food...finally. An hour and 40 minutes later. Granted, he dis have a delivery sheet with 12-15 addresses on it. That is not our problem! Hire more drivers. You do a great business and people love it. just get it together!
(1)Addison M.
Zenna is a must-go. We have had amazing service every time we have been here. We are now regulars. The happy hour is the best in Plano. Drinks, sushi, desserts and coffee....mmm...and we can still afford Christmas presents.
(5)Alison L.
Fun, late night spot where you can eat and still keep the party going. I even got to witness a 3am birthday dragon dance while I was there! The menu was big but organized with lots of pretty pictures to look at. I tried the seaweed salad with sashimi on top and found it to be a nice late night treat. Sake bombs were fun and affordable and the green curry was good but spicy...probably in an effort to make you drink more. Our waiter was friendly and engaging and best of all...happy to split the check however we wanted.
(4)Shalonda H.
My review of this restaurant (food wise) will be limited. That is because I only order one thing when I go to Zenna's - drunken noodles. They are so delicious. I can't ever get enough! And the one drink I always get here is their Margarita. I get a couple of those every time. The atmosphere is always upbeat and fun at night because they have a bar. We went once during lunch and the atmosphere was much more serene. The prices are fair. My kids are in there 20's and they like this place. We've gone to parties here, late night dinners here with friends (love their late hours), and I even had my (very small) wedding reception here. Everyone in my family and all of the friends I can think of really like Zenna's. Without a doubt, I would recommend this restaurant.
(4)Angie H.
Zenna is good food and good service. The happy hour specials are totally worth it-- tons of tasty appetizers for under $5 and beer and mixed drinks for under $3. Good appetizers include the Samosas, Crispy Spring Roll, Dumplings, and Basil Chicken Wraps. Regular menu-wise the Tuna Tataki, Tom-Kha Kai soup, Lamb Chops, Midnight Roll and Bangkok Roll are all great options. The staff is nice and the sushi is really well priced.
(4)Mary N.
I am a big sushi love as well as a happy hour person. They have happy hour from 3-7. Their sushi was not good. The rice was sweet! That is not normal. It took away the taste of the fish which wasn't too fresh as well. It was hard for us to finish the sushi since it was so sweet. We had the eel roll, tuna roll, yellow tail roll and salmon nigiri. Their 2 dollar margarita was really small and it was hard to drink it with the tiny straw that was given since it was super thick and frozen. The sake was okay kinda generic. I would not come back here again. We tried to get the server's attention because they only gave us 2 plates and chopsticks but we had three people but she was rude to us and gave us a look. She was not friendly at all. We got to see the dragon dance for a birthday which was unique.
(1)Diana D.
Their Thai food is good and decently priced. They are open until 3 am, which is a huge plus...especially for those late night munchies. I always get their Pad Woon Sen (not on the menu) and Thai Tea (a definite must). They also have sushi, but I wouldn't recommend it. I mean, it's good and all, but it's expensively priced I think. The service is great. The waiters and waitresses are always friendly. AND they throw you a dragon dance with a free dessert for your birthday!
(4)Sean W.
Great place!!! Food is excellent and the staff is very attentive. And like most that previously stated being open late is a huge plus! The sushi rolls are fantastic but try the teriyaki chicken too. For sure recommend this place!
(5)Ani B.
Ordered food and as usual food came in late and soup came in with flies in it! When we brought in notice to the server, her reaction was ok..just an OK !!As if what was the big deal just some flies.left the place without eating with a promise never to return..awful!
(1)Jennifer D.
Great place to eat sushi, have large dinner parties (especially late night) and drinks! Here's the deal... The drinks are super good and fruity... They don't taste strong, but let me tell you they hit you all at once! I'm not a light-weight when it comes to alcohol. A great night of sushi can result in a horrific ride home that results in you pulling over and throwing up the ripest sushi you have ever tasted :/
(4)Miss V.
Their Thai Lo Mein is excellent. I like spicy food but 2-3 is fine for me. My boyfriend, who loves spicy food says anything beyond a 3 messes with the actual taste of the dish since you're mostly tasting spice at that point. However, he loves him some red curry #5. They also have some delicious calamari. Waitstaff can be hit or miss about delivering dishes and drinks quickly but the food and the being open til 3 a.m. every night more than makes up for it. Don't get any of their desserts though. Horrible. Great drink specials. I think I tried their sushi once. This isn't really a sushi place. Come for the thai food :)
(4)Tony M.
Come Thai one on here at their Happy Hour - you won't be alone and you won't go broke. I had the hot Sake which hit the spot. But what I noticed on other tables was the interesting way they serve 3 liters of frosty beer. A really fun place for large groups and the glee can be had for a song until 7 pm. They serve sushi which my friends gushed over but I had the spring rolls and the wrapped basil chicken. I could have eaten another plate of the spring rolls. But, the basil chicken could have been a half order by the time I got bored with them. The service was superior. For as busy as the place was, we had terrific frequency of visits, timely delivery/refills/collection and friendly, smiling banter that was welcomed and not intrusive. Parking can be tight if you arrive after the start of Happy Hour. Both of my friends had to park far away. The decor is odd, but, unless you're visiting to critique their dusty wind chimes, just look past the chotkes and enjoy the spring rolls.

You don't come to Zenna for their sushi... one time my friend and me ordered the volcano roll and was extremely disappointed with the quality and the quantity. We also ordered octopus once and when it came out we immediately smelled the foul odor coming from the octopus and it seemed like it had just been sitting out for awhile. Scarred us from ever ordering sushi from Zenna again. Their bento boxes during lunch are a pretty good deal. For around $8 including tax you get soup, salad, california rolls, an egg roll and a good amount of your entree. Zenna's is nice because they stay open until 3am. The Thai tea here is good. I always order the fried gyoza and garlic crispy pork ribs for appetizer and the pad-see-eew (level 5 spicy) for my entree. The drunken noodle and the mussaman curry are also good. I used to go to Zenna's a lot because they stay open late and their food is decent. I think they recently got a new chef because their food has been tasting a lot better. It's not the best Thai food but is decent enough. The desserts here are not that great. The sweet sticky rice with fresh mango was questionable and their fried ice cream was not the best. I've definitely had better fried ice cream at other places.
(3)Janice A.
The BEST sober-me-up food you'll ever eat! I'll take Thai over breakfast food or Jack in the Crack any day. Order off their Thai menu. Nothing stops the room from spinning like some spicy beef boat noodle soup. The meat is admittedly a bit tough but the broth is sooooo delicious. I don't know how to describe it, I guess like pho with lots of attitude. The broth is a lot denser than pho. Also get the porridge with fish. It's such an easy simple dish to make at home, but it's so much nicer when someone makes it for you! They provide a variety of condiments to add in yourself. I like adding fish sauce & Thai peppers. If you're feeling a bit adventurous try the dried fish salad. It's literally what it sounds like - dried fish with cilantro, red onions, fish sauce, Thai peppers, some lime juice & a hint of sugar. All my favorite flavors combined into one neat little side dish. Service can be spotty but who cares at 2AM?
(4)Mrs. M.
I love sushi! The food at Zenna is excellent, and well priced. I always get a Caterpillar roll and highly recommend it. Zenna has a pretty large menu with a wide variety of Thai and Japanese foods. There is something offered for the whole family, so my young boy and my husband both always find something they like. The wait staff is very kind, attentive, and patient. The desserts are amazing and you should try them all! I really like this place. Nice modern atmosphere that doesn't overpower with decent layout, and clean bathrooms. I love extra late night dining that isn't I-hop! I know it may sound silly, but when you have been out and about all evening, or at a concert, it is good to have late night options that are not fast food or breakfast. This place is open until 3am!
(5)Kate C.
Food is so-so. Manager doesn't know anything about good customer service. Reminds me of some places in Asia where the establishment is always right and the customer is always wrong. Used to come here a lot for take out but swore off the place for good! Gave up on it after having to endure mistakes on take out orders in several occasions and them refusing to do reasonable substitutions for free. At this point, the only good thing about this place are their nice hostesses - Lana, Isabel and Hannah. Thankfully, a new one opened up late last year that's close to Addison - better food & management.
(1)Victoria W.
Although I do LOVE Zenna, the food and drinks are nothing special. If you go during happy hour, you can get the table beer keg, which is fun with a group of friends and cheap; however, they do not have a very extensive beer selection. My favorite dish to get is the Drunken Noodles. Yummy! Most of their Thai dishes are delicious. The sushi is not very fresh and I've definitely had much better sushi elsewhere. Even though it's not amazing food, the atmosphere and late hours gets me going back.
(3)Barbie A.
we drove 2 hours to get to this place and while we were eating we saw a RAT not a MOUSE come out of their kitchen...i went inside and told the greeter in her ear to keep it quiet and not make a scene she calls the manager and it took him 10 min to come out...not only did they mess our order they were rude none of them APolgized for the nastiness and the manager ran off not saying sorry or nothing. we later threw up ...it was just disgusting---and after my experience i post on facebook turns out im not the only one with that experience...our kids saw the rat and they all told the manager the same story so I COULDNT make this up and they made me pay my bill which was crazy!!! and at the end of the night...they didnt say thank you or good night !!! and it was a sunday----HORRIBLE!
(1)Bella R.
I've been a fan since this place first opened in 2007. The sushi is OK, but my fav dishes have always been the curry (green or pineapple) or pad thai. The prices for their lunch (11am-3pm) specials are amazing for the price considering you get a soup, salad, 2 piece of cali roll, spring roll, and entree. Their happy hour (3pm-7pm EVERY day of the week) is also good. $2 wells, $3 cosmos or long islands, among others. They have cheap rolls, $1 nigri, and a lot of hot tapas (I recommend the basil chicken wrap!) to choose from. I just wish they served brown rice :( Overall it's a good value for the money and in regards to some reviews stating they are culturally confused, get over it. It makes for a good laugh to see the waiters running around as a chinese dragon and banging the gong. Good atmosphere and the place is always busy. I also love that they deliver.
(4)Jennifer T.
The food is okay here. Honestly there prices are a bit pricey for the quality of the food. The only thing that I actually find myself craving here is the tom yum or tom kha soup. I love their Thai soup here but as far as the dishes, I would def go to an acutal all Thai restaurant. Sushi is alright too. Nothing great. BUT I will say that their happy hour is awesome and one of the best. 1. It's everyday! Not just weekdays from 5-7 but everyday from 3-7! It's a shame they don't have reverse HH. 2. $4 margaritas that are stronger than other places and $9 beer towers! OMG these beer towers are such a great deal and good for big groups. We never make it to our next destination after Zenna HH because we get too many towers for a good price. 3. Their HH menu for food isn't bad and good to snack on. The edemame, calamari, dollar sushi, gyoza, and surprisingly...chicken wings are all really good and cheap. Other plus is that they're open til 3am. But its def all about the HAPPY HOUR here.
(4)Tae S.
The Happy Hour Menu!!! It happy hour every day. Who does not love that. The food is okay and the happy hour menu has a good amount of options. Not the best sushi but not the worse either. A good place for late late night dining
(3)Jeff F.
This is my families "go to" place for birthdays. The happy hour menu is cheap and has a really good selection. Never had bad food here even when they are super busy (which is often). Watch the Long Island Ice Teas, they will sneak up on you.
(4)Kim P.
I wasn't too impressed with their food the first time I came here, but they have an awesome happy hour! 3-7 everyday. $2 wells, 2 L or 3 L beers for $6 or $9. Sushi and other dumplings and food for $3.50 or less. Their sushi is decent. And it came out super quick tonight when I was there. I also ordered the golden samosas. They were okay. Don't think I'd order them again. Just tasted like potatoes. I will most likely put this into my Happy Hour rotation. :)
(4)Candice J.
I've been here about 3 times now so I think it's time to tell about my experience. The atmosphere is great and welcoming. There is a bar and TVs so people can watch sports. Happy Hour is awesome!!! From $2 margaritas and beer to $2 sushi mmmm you can't beat that! And the sushi is great. Every time I've been here, they always have hip hop music playing lol! I guess they enjoy it. But overall...good eats at this joint!
(4)Christa G.
Yellow curry is to die for! Sushi is great too. Service was slow. Busy restaurant, always packed but delicious food. My husband got their combination fried rice and it had no flavor. Try the curries.
(4)Manisa K.
First time I came to this place with my sister-in-law. Her school was close to the restaurant why not give it a try. Nice decoration and cozy dining area. Great place for a date night. Service was terrible, the waitress never ever took care of us. They were just talking to each other and took them for a while to take our order. Another thirty minutes our food came out. We ordered California rolls as an appetizer. They were alright, typical kind of buffet rolls. They were cheap because of happy hours. You know..you get what you pay for. I ordered spicy basil vegetable and tofu. It was not good at all! Small portion big price. My friend had Yen TA Fo or seafood soup. She didn't like it either. They just failed for their food. It's Asian fusion kind of Americanize more. The food isn't worth the wait. They open till three am though. No more trying this place for me at this point.
(2)Frances L.
Better service there compare to Zhabuki. We were greeted right away and received great service.
(5)Belly G.
My baby sister raves about how great this place is and for her birthday lunch, she wanted the whole family to take her here. We were like, "sure, okay" Including her friends, there were 14 people in our party. When we got there, the place was not packed. However, it seemed like they were understaffed because there was nobody at the hostess booth to sit us down. We had to wait at least a good 15 minutes before we were seated. No biggie. After we sat down and looked over the menu, it took them a good while to take our orders. Like I said, we had 14 people in our party and only one waitress to serve us. Not a problem, right? We weren't in a rush anyway. I opted for the pad see ew bento box because my sister recommended it. However, after everybody else got their orders. I didn't get mine. After another 10 minutes, I had to ask where my order was and apparently it had been sitting out for a while. She just forgot to give it to me. Wowza! Well, my bento box came with some edamame, which at this point was already COLD. No good. The pad see ew was actually pretty good and it had the potential to be REALLY good had it been warmer. Why didn't I ask them to just make me a new one? Well, at this point, I was starving. I didn't want to wait much longer. The bento box also came with a couple of California rolls, salad with creamy dressing, and a vegetable eggroll. All these were pretty average compared to other places that have them. I also ordered the heaven beef and this was actually really good. If you like beef, I think you would like this little dish. Highly recommended. Anyway, I hope my experience here is just a one-off experience. Since the food was actually pretty tasty and they're actually pretty reasonably priced. I think I'd go back and try this place out again.
(3)Amy C.
This is my go-to favorite spot after hour. I've been to this restaurant several times and even before they used to be Bangkok city. Ask for Thai menu if you want to be adventurous! I recommend all their noodle dishes especially Sen Lek Tom Yum and Yen Ta Pho. Both were on point every time I get them. So satisfying. Spicy, savory and flavorful. Don't forget to try their rice soup as well! Sometimes I go for drinks. Bartenders there are very friendly and very just very good at what they're doing! I love this place! Best in Plano!
(5)B I.
Downtown location is big and service is good except 2 very major things. First: what is up with all the smoke? I smell like a fried factory when I leave the place. Second: Getting someone to deliver your food or even getting them to pick up after work on a weekday is impossible. I am giving 5 stars because i like their food.
(5)Shahbaaz A.
The best part is that they're open till 3 am! They also have a great happy hour where you can get sushi and good appetizers for really cheap. I like their specialty sushi rolls. I still like Noodle Wave Their desserts are really good and huge.
(4)Carol T.
Love the rolls
(4)James P.
Another late night alternative to Ihop if you're the clubbing type or happen to eat late. My favorites are the drunken noodles and anything off of the Thai menu. Yes, there's a secret Thai menu but you'll have to ask for it.
(5)Joelle J.
It shouldn't take 20 min to get a miso soup. The food wasn't bad but service is lacking.
(3)Christina C.
The happy hour is my favorite thing about this place. Cheap drinks and appetizers, and the wait staff is typically very nice. Good place to hit up with friends for drinks and also has great drunken noodles!
(4)Kaitlin S.
Service here sucks so bad. We waited 20 minutes and no one ever came to our table, while people who were seated after us were being served. When I finally got the attention of a waiter, I was told our server was "busy." Super lame, Zenna.
(1)Devon P.
My husband and I went here for our anniversary and they offered us a free dessert. We were full from the spring rolls and our meals! The food was amazing and they even have the yum-yum sauce.
(5)Lizette M.
Horrible service. If you use to go there, it's nothing like it use to be, the waitress tried to cut us off after only two towers and it was 8 people.
(1)Kellie M.
Very nice selection of Japanese and Thai foods. Nice sushi bar. I had a bento box that was really good. The prices were good as well.
(5)Erica P.
I love the updated bathrooms!! So clean and nice compared to what it use to look like. Always stocked with toilet paper! The heavenly beef is heavenly! Must order!
(4)Marianne C.
I have tried almost everything in the menu by now all of which are really good. Only prob is the service, it is hit or miss. I guess it depends on time of the day and how busy they are. They have good HH prices and what I like the most is they are open late and still offer the full menu.
(3)K T.
This is our favorite place for midnight munchies. The food has always been ready on time and consistently delicious. We especially enjoy the Heaven Beef, Garlic Crispy Pork Ribs, Crispy Wrapped Shrimp and Beef Noodle Soup. Good variety on the menu.
(4)Lindsey H.
This is one of my office's favorite spots to order lunch because it's delicious and very conveniently located. The yellow curry is our unanimous favorite, and the take-out portion is huge -- usually enough for two leftover meals. $10 an order can break the bank if you're getting takeout every day, but with the amount you get when you order curry it's a bargain. The few times I've eaten in the restaurant the service was good, but the portion size seemed much smaller than what I was used to with take-out. You can order online at their website, which is easy to use BUT I have stopped using this service since one time I ordered, waited, went to pick it up, and the hostess said there was no record of my order in their system. I showed her the email confirmation on my phone and they made it for me while I waited. I can't blame them for a computer glitch, but I'd rather just call and not risk it. The only negative I consistently encounter is that you have to call before the lunch rush or it'll easily be an hour before you can pick it up. Especially because they only ever seem to have one person working at the front desk. She's always nice and helpful, but when she has to balance seating in-house guests and answering the phone and dealing with pick-up orders, service can be slow. I've never ordered for delivery because our office is barely 3 minutes away and we still get quoted an hour for delivery. I'm glad they're busy because I want them to stay open, I just wish they'd maybe schedule a few more people on shift during lunch. :)

I've been here once and will probably be back! I must say I'm guilty of saying "No" to this place on several occasions when asked if I wanted to go there, in my defense I had no idea how great you guys really are. The boyfriend had mentioned to eat here sooooo many times, and quite honestly i don't exactly know why I kept saying no to this place, y'all are great! The ambiance is pretty neat, the little dragon that comes out when it's someone's birthday is quite epic. You guys nailed the birthday celebration here. The food was delicious! Everything was great, from the service to the food. Great great great! Will be back! :)

I agree with a couple other viewers - not worth the wait whatsoever. In all my travels, going to a "Combo" type place - Sushi/Chinese, Thai/Sushi is always fraught with peril. This place is no different. But, going on a tip from some friends, we schlepped there in the rain one night. We had to cool our heals in their dark, sort of skeevy lobby for 45 minutes or so. When we were seated, there was a surprising number of empty tables, given the wait. The place was loud and had the ambiance of a cafeteria, or low end buffet joint. And how can I describe the crowd? Young, Loud, and the types that probably couldn't tell the difference between good Thai food from low end Chinese takeout. I forget what the others ordered, or even what we had as appetizers. Whatever it was it was unremarkable. I found reading the menu sort of a confusing chore, and a validation for my notion that these combo restaurants are never a good choice. Opting for what I thought was a safe choice at a "Thai" place, I picked Pad Thai. What I got looked like a manatee may have vomited on my plate. It wasn't great. It wasn't even good. It was just...there. Greasy, stringy, and kind of smelly. There are many, many better Sushi options in Plano, and more than a couple really good Thai places. If you want food like this you can hit any number of "Asian" buffets around or hit Kroger for some add-water-heat and eat.

I LOVE their Happy Hour! My usuals are the Shrimp Tempura Roll, the Teriyaki Wings, the Calamari, the Heaven Beef, Chicken Satay and their Cosmopolitan. The atmosphere is great. If it's your birthday, the staff comes out in a huge Japanese dragon and sings for you, gets the whole restaurant involved, pretty cool! Now, if you happen to miss Happy Hour, get the Combination Drunken Noodles...you will LOVE it!

I don't really go to Zenna much since my diet has changed, however they are still a favorite spot for getting together with friends. Their food is good, not great, but people are generally very happy there which makes an enjoyable evening out.

Tim behind the bar is awesome. The specials are great, the rolls are pleasing to the eye and the palette. I recommend the spider and the dragon rolls. Honorable mention to the cajun roll and the teryakyi chicken skewers.

3 1/2 stars if that was an option... I think there are several good things about this spot and a couple of things that make it just alright! The parking is horrible and there's a hotel 6 right behind the restaurant so I feel like I could get mugged any time I go late night lol, also I it doesn't seem very clean the bathroom kinda grosses me out but I am pretty OCD! The prices are great and so is the happy hour, I love that you can eat and drink here till 3 in the morn, great spot to chill and get your swerve on and the food is pretty decent for the price. Love the heavenly beef, spring rolls and the chicken pad thai, it always comes out hot and fast!

I give this five stars on the happy hour alone. Can't beat dollar beer and three dollar rolls. Great happy hour menu throughout the dining room as well. Not just at the bar. The great prices allow you to try everything on the menu.

This place hands down has one of the best happy hours around! If I could I would be here 3x's a week. Every time I come I have to get the shrimp tempura roll it's like little bits of heaven with angle sauce drizzled over them. You also have to dry the crispy spring rolls, they are always good and the dip they give you is even better. I call it honey water only because idk the real name lol. With those and the drink specials they have you can't go wrong. I recommend the Long Island, can't beat it for $3!

The food here was great. I like how it was a Thai and Japanese restaurant. The bartender Paul was able to accommodate my request for a spicy margarita. Pleasantly surprised by how far they will go to celebrate a guest birthday, I would surely destroy my friends if any of them had me go there for my birthday, knowing a giant dragon and drums were apart of the festivities.

Went here for a late dinner for the 1st time. First of the hours are awesome. 11am-3am. Huge menu of Japanese & Thai food, very reasonably priced. I discovered and went for the authentic menu. I always ask, and this time they actually have one. The food was great. Service was prompt. I noticed the table next to me was celebrating a birthday, and the brought out the Lion dance! Yes, a freaking lion dance! It was pretty cool. I'll definitely come back to try out other items on the menu.

I really do love this place. Service was phenomenal. Very inexpensive if you come during lunch and/or happy hour. Amazing specials for food and drinks. I'm took my coworkers whom have never been here to come try it and they loved it too. My strategy for making it a weekly lunch place may have worked!

Disclaimer: The following statement had no impact on the review of the food and service itself. However, it's important I say this. For this dinner, I used a credit card that rarely ever gets used (last used 2 weeks ago online on Southwest). I decided to use it here, and I was alerted by my bank a few days later about an unauthorized transaction made at 5 AM at Hollister for quite a bit of money. Obviously I've cancelled my card at this point. We were eating in a large group with multiple waiters, so I'm not going to blame anyone here. However, I know some restaurants have started to adopt a "pay at the entrance/exit" type deal, and I can see why now. I recommend you do that here. Anyways, let's get down to business. This review is for the Dinner Menu. Service: B Came with a large group of 15+ people, which demanded multiple waiters of course. Luckily it was a weeknight, so it wasn't too busy. Everything was good in regards to what was offered. Ensuring drinks were refilled, answering questions we had on dishes, and just making sure everything was being ran okay. Some restaurants have issues with getting back your receipts, especially if everyone orders separately. However, they were on prompt and things ran smoothly. Side note: It was someone's birthday, and the celebration they have is a mix of borderline funny, while still lacking enthusiasm from the employees who participate in it. Entrees: C+ Drunken Noodles: Despite the name, there is no alcohol content in the dish. I had my dish served with chicken and a spice level of 3/5, which I found to add just enough. For any South Asians, you can easily go 4, and try your luck with 5 if you want. Anyways, I found the noodles and chicken themselves to be enjoyable. However, the rest seemed to be a bit lacking. Vegetables were cooked well, but there was no taste coming out of them. Neither from the vegetable itself or any herbs or spices that were put on it. It seemed like it had all been concentrated to the noodles themselves. I do have a complaint about the tomatoes though. While the majority were sliced to eatable portions, there were at least three pieces that were chunks big enough to cover my entire spoon. It clearly overwhelmed me when I took a bite out of it. Portion size was alright. A bit on the pricier end, but not by much. With that being said, my past reviews have dictated that I enjoy eating Thai food. I understand this is more of a mainstream mass appeal approach, but if you're looking for a more pure taste, look somewhere else. For what its worth, those who ordered sushi seemed to enjoy it. Unfortunately, I didn't get a bite in, so I'll never know until next time what it's like. Conclusion: So there you have it. Only one dish tried, and I thought it was alright. Service was good, but not great. Food was decent, nothing special. Overall though, I certainly would not mind coming back here if someone asked me to tag along. 3/5

I really liked the fact that you can take a group of your friends and get practically any Asian food you want here. Now was it quality Asian food? Well its practical Thai, Japanese, and Chinese food I guess you can say, meaning it wasn't bad nor was it great to any extent. I would frequent this place more if it was near my work and because prices are pretty decent here at Zenna!! Sushi rolls are typical and there are the main and even different types of sushi rolls that you can try from Zenna!

This place has THE BEST happy hour in Plano/Richardson area, but even that is not what keep me and my sister coming back. It is....wait for it....Their vegetarian options, you can substitute tofu for any of their sushi rolls! Sold! Sold! Sold!

Besides the circling the parking lot several times to find a parking space, the food and customer service was excellent

Dine in experiences have been okay, but take out is very inconsistent, and after last night's experience I will not be coming back. I've been ordering the crispy basil pork OVER RICE to go for years now. The quality is really inconsistent as sometimes the basil crispy pork is crispy and delicious but far too often it is gummy and a small portion. Gummy as in it sticks to your teeth like a Starburst and has no crunch at all. Despite this, I still order here because I haven't found the dish elsewhere and when it's good it's really good. I also like the dried fish salad. Last night I ordered carry out over the phone. After dialing the number a few times (often you cannot get through), a girl picks up the phone and has no idea what she's talking about. I double checked that it was basil pork since sometimes they give me Chinese broccoli. I also asked for the sauce on the side for the fish salad. She took a minute to ask around about the dish and came back and said the sauce is always on the side. Wrong. I only brought it up because sometimes they don't do so and everything gets soggy. I get to the restaurant and it takes ten minutes to be acknowledged. I paid cash and the total was 15.05 and she asks if I even want the change...lol. Back in the car I opened the boxes since there's nothing worse than getting home and finding you have the wrong dish, which has happened here many times. There's no rice in my entrée! I went back in and the girls were super snotty and told me I was wrong and ordered it without rice. She literally said "I repeated your order and you said yes". First of all I have experienced so much incompetency here that I make absolutely sure I order correctly. She then charges me two dollars for rice and once again asks if I want my change. FINE KEEP IT. I always tip on to go orders, and this was the first time I didn't so lucky for you you got to keep the change like you'd so dearly been asking for. Lila, you and your coworker should stop making assumptions and learn to apologize instead of wrongly telling your customers that they are wrong.

In all fairness, I used to love their food. I ordered my usual Tom Kha it tasted strange and had a 1/4 of a cup of cooking oil on the top of the soup. Then my friend ordered his usual Beef Pad Thai, it was disgusting. The manager told him, she tasted his dish and it was good, and that his taste buds are not working. Very unprofessional. This manager said some other offensive things. After being seated we waited 10 min. for our server, then over 30 min. for our food. Not that it really matters, but they changed the decor, and I personally like the original design and colors better. They used to have gray and blush color, very classy and trendy. Now it has tacky yellow and blue geometric patterns on the wall.

Zenna is by far one of my favorite restaurants. I have been to both locations in Plano and in Dallas and both are fantastic. The happy hour menu offers some great rolls at unmatched prices.

ANYONE WITH DIETARY RESTRICTIONS OR FOOD ALLERGIES SHOULD NOT EAT HERE. I have been a vegetarian for 11 years and I also have a few health conditions so I have to be careful with everything I eat. I have ordered the Lad Na from here several times, in person and on the phone. The first time I ordered it, I confirmed many times that it contained no meat. Ever since then, I have ordered it several times. Every single time I say "completely vegetarian, including no meat broth" and if they don't seem to understand then I repeat this very clear. Most of the time they would even read this back to me and agree. Tonight when ordering the same dish and saying the same thing I always say, when it arrived I noticed a gelatin-like substance (after already eating a decent amount of it). I called them and they seemed confused what I was talking about all together. The girl put a manager on the phone and he asked me a lot of questions before finally admitting that it did have meat broth in it. I asked what type and he originally told me fish, then after a few seconds said he needed to go ask the chef, he then came back and said chicken broth. He goes on to tell me that it always has this in there. Then instead of offering to return my money, he offers to put a $10 credit on there for next time I call, which I have no idea why they would think I will ever eat there again. I had always gotten a little sick after eating this but I figured I was just having a sensitive stomach to something else in there. Tonight after finding this out, I obviously got pretty sick. My boyfriend had to call back to get my money returned which they said will take 5 to 7 business days. Very upsetting that even though I was clear with so many people, I somehow consume something several times that could potentially put me in the hospital. Almost seems like they do this on purpose for whatever reason. Hopefully they record all phone calls and can listen to my calls and realize how clear I really was. If there had been an allergic reaction, they would have a lawsuit on their hands, lucky for them there's not much I can do (still going to look into this though). Very disappointing, I hope nothing worse happens to someone else. Everyone should just be aware that they might not be eating what they are told!

One of my favorite places. Gets very busy, the music sucks, and service is sometimes slow. But they have a nice happy hour sushi menu, consistently good food, and decent prices. I come here at least once a month. Expansive menu featuring Japanese and Thai is pleasant offering. Oh and they have very late hours which I love!

My second time trying Thai food and my first time trying Zenna. YUMMY~! I got the pad see eew with chicken. It was so good that I kept eating even though I was full and on the verge of becoming a little bloated. My mom got crunchy roll and volcano roll. It was pretty good. My dad got the pad Thai and he approved! That's saying something because he's a picky-eater.

This is my favorite place for moderately priced sushi rolls!!!! The quality and taste are quite consistent with each visit...I've been to this Plano location once and the Dallas location several times (both places seem comparable in quality and service). Usually a relaxing and pleasant ambiance with dim lighting; although, not surprisingly, it can get a little noisy when crowded during happy hour. I can easily recommend the Seagull roll and Dragon or Lizard roll, but pretty much every roll that I've tried has been delicious. My husband is always pleased with his choice of Drunken Noodles. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants in the area, and I plan on returning again and again.

I have dined at Zenna well over 100 times, and if the few reviews I've written about them say anything, it's that their quality of service seems to change almost as frequently as their management. But my experience there last night was unlike any other thanks to a server named Lyn who I had not seen before. Lyn does not belong at Zenna, she belongs at Abacus or The French Room. How Zenna scored a server like her is beyond me. Lyn was perfect. She came out promptly after we were seated to say hello: she was easy to understand and very upbeat. Everything she did gave the impression that the quality of our experience was important to her. She brought our drinks quickly. When taking orders she asked all the right questions to make sure everything came out just as we wanted it. When the lamb chops weren't out yet, she noticed it before we did and said she'd go check on them. She knew one person in our party did not like spicy, so when bringing the Tom Kha Soup (sharing size), she proudly proclaimed that this one would be "just the right spicy" for the spice-lovers, but not too much for the others. She was dead-on! She was always quick to refill drinks and clear plates we set aside. The icing on the cake, which I always appreciate, is that she put the pasta in a to-go box for us. I strongly dislike being left with boxes and bags to take care of myself, and her doing this for us table-side was nice. (I actually prefer this to taking it back in the kitchen because I can see it the whole time and know how it is laid out in the box (e.g. lots of liquid so don't turn sideways). Our order last night consisted of: Lamb Chops - Served with moderately bland mashed potatoes, but the meat was delicious and perfectly tender. Chilean Sea Bass - They did such a good job on this. Slightly crispy on the outside, hot enough to burn just a bit, but bursting with flavor. Tuna Tar Tar - Tasted fresh, came out fast, very good dish. Family-Size Tom Kha Soup w/ Chicken - Mildly spiced with the lightest kick, everyone enjoyed it. Heavy on the liquid-to-stuff ratio, I'd probably ask for extra mushrooms or more chicken next time. Retro Roll - Delicious and probably the best deal on their rolls. It's basically a Philadelphia roll topped with salmon and white tuna. They serve it with fresh jalopeno which you may not enjoy, but it's easy to take off. Tuna Roll - Hard to go wrong here. Hawaiian Pasta Chicken - I thought it was a little too saucy but the person who ordered it liked it. I guess I wasn't in a pineapple mood. Great food, great service, great prices. At least this time!
