Zen Zero
811 Massachusetts St.
Zen Zero, 811 Massachusetts St., gets a lot out of a little, and you do too. The long narrow restaurant is crammed with dozens of tables, a full bar (including Fat Tire on tap) and beautifully framed ethnic art; but it doesn't seem crowded or stuffy. Where the efficiency really comes in, though, is the food. The Thai noodle shop offers massive proportions for microscopic prices and it's quality too. Zen Zero, the sister restaurant of La Parilla, offers appetizers, varied pasta dishes, both spicy and mild, a curry section and no fewer than seven vegetarian dishes; there's something for everybody.
Price: $3 to $13
We recommend: Phad Thai with chicken
Winner: Best Vegetarian Restaurant,
University Daily Kansan, 2003 and 2004
