Japanese Comfort Food

 
 

 

Zen Box Izakaya is a Chef Driven Ramen-Centric Izakaya by a Chef & Wife team in Downtown Minneapolis' Mill District.

The true spirit is the interaction between one another, the combination of people + food & drink + atmosphere. It is not just a destination, but a culture of its own - The Zen Box Culture.

 

MENUS

In Japan, Izakaya dining is often referred to a wide variety of menu items. The kitchen will serve the food when it is ready rather than in the formal courses of Western restaurants. Come join up for this unique dining experience with family/friends!
