About Tzen Asian Bistro
Welcome to Tzen Asian Bistro, located at 20 N Salem Rd, Cross River, NY 10518, USA. While categorized as a Chinese Restaurant, Tzen Asian Bistro offers a diverse menu that includes authentic Cantonese cuisine and highly-rated sushi, catering to various Asian food preferences in the local area.
Despite initial low expectations from one reviewer, Tzen Asian Bistro has proven to offer surprisingly authentic flavors, particularly in its Cantonese dishes. A Cantonese customer specifically praised the Roasted Duck, noting its moist and juicy meat, correct flavor, and crispy skin. The only minor critique was the substitution of hoisin sauce for the traditional plum sauce and the potential for higher quality duck, which would likely increase the price. Overall, the Roasted Duck is deemed "absolutely worth a try."
The restaurant also offers a selection of dim sum. The Pork Soup Dumplings were described as having a "homemade style" appearance but a "not bad" taste, even tempting one reviewer to overeat. In contrast, the Crystal Skin Shrimp Dumplings (Har Gao) were noted as being over-steamed, resulting in a too-moist skin, though the inside still tasted good. These reviews suggest a Cantonese chef with the potential to deliver more authentic dishes.
Beyond Cantonese cuisine, Tzen Asian Bistro also excels in its sushi offerings. Customers who have used their delivery service rave about the sushi being "a grade above most places," highlighting its freshness and inventive rolls. One reviewer found it so good that they felt compelled to leave a "very positive review." Even their wonton soup was described as "extraordinary," indicating a high standard across different parts of their menu.
Based on customer feedback, Tzen Asian Bistro offers a surprising level of authenticity in its Cantonese dishes, especially the Roasted Duck, and provides exceptionally fresh and inventive sushi. They offer both dine-in and delivery services. While no specific promotional information is available, the positive reviews suggest a worthwhile culinary experience for those in the Cross River area seeking quality Cantonese food and sushi.

Customer Reviews
Didn’t have high expectations but was surprised. A restaurant needs courage to put the Roasted Duck in the menu in such an area that is lack of Asian customers. But as a Cantonese I have to say, it was way more authentic than I expected. The meat was moist and juicy, with correct flavor. The skin was crispy. A small disappointment was that it didn’t come with the plum sauce but hoisin sauce. And it should be made with a duck with better quality, but that would be more expensive, so I think the way now is acceptable. Overall, it is absolutely worth a try. We also tried two dim sums. The Pork Soup Dumplings were more like a homemade style, looking awkward but tasting not bad. I couldn’t help eating one more although I knew it would make me fat. The Crystal Skin Shrimp Dumplings (Har Gao) weren’t cooked well. They were over-steamed and the skin was too moist. But it still tasted good inside. I believe they have a good Cantonese chef I would definitely like to try more Cantonese dishes here.
We get it delivered—sushi is a grade above most places—very fresh—inventive rolls—so good that it would be a disservice to not leave a very positive review! Even the wonton soup was extraordinary!
"Hidden Gem Alert! If you're in Cross River , you absolutely must try Tzen Asian Bistro. I recently had the pleasure of trying their lunch specials, and wow, was I blown away! The Szechuan crispy shredded beef was a flavor explosion – perfectly crispy, with just the right amount of spice . We also had the eggplant in garlic sauce , it was very flavorful . The portions were also very generous .
I’ve only taken out. Have not eaten in so can’t comment on service, etc. raised in nyc, I’m a Chinatown devotee. I’ve eaten Asian cuisine for close to 60 years far and wide. This restaurant shocked me with how good every dish I’ve tried. From crispy fried dumplings, to perfect hot and sour soup to entrees, every dish has been truly excellent. I rarely give 5 stars in any review. This restaurant deserves it.
The food is good enough overall but the prices have increased far beyond a typical suburban Chinese restaurant. It's cheaper to eat at upscale local Italian. The service in the restaurant is usually good and courteous.
