Zen Japanese
Hidden in the carpark behind Subiaco’s Dome is Zen Japanese, which has been serving traditional Japanese dishes since 2008. Chef Hideki has 32 years of experience as a master Japanese chef and in an effort to bring his Japanese origins to Perth, he has placed a family name plate at the entrance of the restaurant to make customers feel as if they are a special guest in his home.
The popular takeaway menu includes a lunch special of $12 bento boxes with rice, edamame beans and pickles with a choice of teriyaki chicken, beef or tofu, spicy fried chicken or chicken katsu. If overwhelmed for choice, their recommendation is any of their beef options as they tend to be the most popular!
