Zen Chinese New Year Feast

Details

Lunar New Year in February is a time centered around renewal, family, and good fortune. Rooted in centuries-old traditions, the holiday encourages people to reflect on the past year while setting intentions for health, prosperity, and happiness in the year ahead.

Food plays a central role in Lunar New Year celebrations, with dishes chosen for their symbolic meanings – long noodles for longevity, dumplings for wealth, and fish for abundance. In honor of the holiday, Del Mar’s Zen Modern Asian Bistro has created a special Lunar New Year menu that thoughtfully incorporates these meaningful dishes, celebrating the tradition that the holiday is just as much about connection and shared experiences as it is about the food itself.

Available February 17–23, Zen’s Lunar New Year menu is offered in three family-style feast options designed for group dining. The Prosperity Feast ($188), which serves four people, includes pork potstickers, vegetable egg rolls, cucumber salad, mapo tofu, Sichuan string beans, chow mein, and stir-fried shrimp.

The Fortune & Abundance Feast ($298), serving six people, features Sichuan pork dumplings, wonton noodle soup, cucumber salad, black pepper beef or tofu, Sichuan string beans, wood ear mushroom salad, yang chow fried rice, and baby bok choy.

For larger celebrations, the Grand Lunar Celebration Feast ($418), which serves eight people, offers an expansive spread including a pu pu platter with cream cheese wontons, shrimp tempura, barbecued spare ribs, envelope chicken, and beef skewers, along with Sichuan pork dumplings, cucumber salad, wood ear mushroom salad, salt-and-pepper shrimp and scallop combo, mapo tofu, Sichuan string beans, vegetable egg rolls, Hunan sea bass, and chow mein.
