Len Zen is conveniently located on the 2nd floor of K-Village. The restaurant has claimed to use the traditional recipe of Ayuddhaya noodle. The decor is in a contemporary community mall restaurant with tables and benches. Apart from beef and pork noodle, Len Zen also offers varieties of rice dishes.

Lime Juice with Honey and Soda was something could not be a mistake. Surely refreshing after a long tired day. I also had Crispy Pork Garlic, Crispy Pork Rinds, and Crispy Seaweed to start off the dinner. They were all crisp and cracked, sure yummy and addicted.

Next to arrive on the table were Fried Tofu (3/10) and Grilled Tendon Ball (7/10). Fried Tofu was definitely a mistake here. It was rather oily and too soft with ordinary sauce. A more crisp skin would be delightful. On the other side, Grilled Tendon Ball was splendid. It was springy but tender and flavourful.

When it came to noodle part. I was disappointed with stew noodles. They were just tasteless and the bowl was filled with too much noodle. However, noodle soup had shown something more promised. The soup was tasty with hints of flavour from herbs. Much better than stew noodle indeed.

Fried Organic Pork with Garlic and Rice, and Stewed Pork Leg with Rice were also tasted. I must say these were just ordinary dishes with ordinary taste from my perspective but organic pork. The good part was it was not oily and salty for this kind of dish. However, not a highly recommended dish but in case noodle is not preferable, otherwise enjoyable.

Len Zen Boat Noodle can be a place for a quick meal with friends but surely not somewhere to hang out for quite a period. This may be a place to try out in case you happen to be at K-Village. However, a specific journey to have a meal at Len Zen may not be the case.
