MPLS ST PAUL MAGAZINE - "50 BEST RESTAURANTS - CRITICS' CHOICE AWARD 2019"

Zen Box Voyages to Japan rarely match most bosses’ idea of a reasonable lunch break. Thankfully, downtown Minneapolis’s Zen Box is right there with some of the Cities’ best ramen, a deftly prepared salmon, and a happy hour that warrants rearranging your day. Owners John Ng and Lina Goh regularly take the actual flight to Narita International. And they’ve filled this house, floor to ceiling, with treasures such as anime figures and street signs that make you feel like you might have just dropped into Tokyo.
