Restaurant Zheng

This is a great place to experience modern Chinese food, with helpful service and an elegant atmosphere. I went here with my friend on 1 October and had the 5 step menu. From the moment we entered, everything was really down to earth and perfect. The two ladies who helped us were kind and welcoming and patient in their explanations. They were a great team! The restaurant is also gorgeous with beautifully chosen blue and gold hues that make the atmosphere cozy and well-rounded. For the food, expect Chinese fusion with modern touches. There was a great play of flavours and textures overall, with some funky twists and surprising elements (the oolong infused ice cream and passion fruit boba was so fun!). And the peking duck with the hoisin sauce and pancakes? Well, that was a love letter for the heart and soul! ✨ Overall, keep in mind this is a slow experience, meant to be taken easy and enjoyed! 🪷 So, yes, I really recommend this place!

Everything about this restaurant was fantastic. We came in for lunch on a Saturday, we were warmly greeted and sat at our table. The ambiance, the seating, the lighting, everything was aesthetically pleasing. We ordered a 3 course lunch menu with the duck as the main course as the reviews told me to. The reviews were right, the duck is crunchy and sumptuous, the thin rice wraps and the sauces that accompanied the duck elevated the taste even more. Yum. Definitely not the last time I eat here.

An absolutely 10/10 experience. I rarely give 5 stars unless my experience is not only great but exceedingly stellar. We visited Zheng to celebrate my boyfriend’s 30th birthday as a party of 4 people. Not only were we kindly greeted, our bags and jackets were offered to be taken and we were shown to our seats. The restaurant had dim lighting but your specific table was lit which created a private sort of feeling where I barely noticed the restaurant getting busier through the Sunday night. We chose the 6 Chapters menu option (non vegetarian) and the kitchen was kind enough to even accommodate a swap-out ask for one of us. We also did the tea pairing. The waitress was exceptionally attentive to any dietary requirements of which we had none. And what a wonderful fountain of information she was when it came time to explain the many many dishes that flowed throughout the night. If you’re like my boyfriend and worried that tiny dishes won’t fill you - let me ease your mind and tell you we practically rolled ourselves out of the restaurant with how full we were. (Even managed to snag a takeaway bag). The food is exceptional. Honestly I won’t even try to describe something that simply HAS to be experienced. Before we left we were already talking about returning. Also- get the Duck.

We had the best experience at Zhen. The food was superb and the service was amazing, Jessie really made our evening and was a great host! We chose the 5 course menu with the duck and the duck was really a special experience and so tasty! If you are looking for an Asian fine dining experience, this is the place to go. We will come back 😊

We had a fantastic new experience at Zheng! The cozy and elegant atmosphere made the evening truly special. Our waiter was friendly and helpful, guiding us through a beautifully curated and thematic fine dining journey. Each dish was not only delicious but also stunningly presented (I couldn’t take a picture of all the dishes), a true feast for both the eyes and the palate. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for something unique and memorable in The Hague!

A phenomenal gastro experience at this Asian resturant. Beautifully decorated cozy setting with a huge selection (separate dedicated menu) of vegetarian options. Presentation and creativity in mixing flavors was phenomenal. Probably my most fav Asian resturant experience in Den Haag. Pricy but well worth the experience. We went for the “5 chapters” (specifically #1, 2, 4, 5 and 7 -see menu) tasting menu which delivered a colorful, exotic and flavorful journey. Indonesian chef presented a lot of creativity and flair in both taste and plating on beautiful China. Every chapter was served with three separate dishes with a common sauce and/or key ingredient (ie mushroom or eggplant etc). Chefs lucky number is three thus the plating for each chapter. A very memorable evening and Jesse (the server) made it a fun experience with a special birthday treat. Menu changes every 3 months so can’t wait for another celebration! I would highly recommend Zheng’s for a special occasion.

Visited Restaurant Zheng on Saturday the 15th of February and while the food was extremely delicious, I was a little disappointed as I felt it was mostly European food with some hints of Chinese cuisine served in a Chinese banquet style. I was hoping that the fusion would be Chinese led, as in, more of a celebration of Chinese food with elements of European cooking. My favourite dish was Scallop and Halibut with a sweet and sour sauce, which was it was incredible. The Lobster and Prawn dim sum with Herring Caviar and Black Cod with Green Pepper sauce (fish menu alternative to the main course) were also fantastic. The two cocktails (one used a tea-infused gin) we had at the beginning were also great. The main negative for the evening for me was the service. While the staff were very welcoming and friendly, the timings between each course were very inconsistent. After an hour and a half, we had received a cocktail and 2 courses, both of which relatively small. The timings between courses throughout the meal varied from 10 minutes to 30-40 minutes. This would have been less of an issue if the first few courses were faster and then the rest of the meal had longer between each course, but as it was, I was very hungry for the first half of the meal and then extremely full by the end. The waiter who brought us our wine said "I don't want to see you pouring your own wine" but then returned to our table only once. We did wait for them to come back again but ended up doing it ourselves, which is fine, but if you say you're going to do something like that then you should be following through. I appreciate the intention, and that the person was busy with other tasks, but I would suggest not saying that originally and just doing it if they can. Overall, I would say my experience was 7/10 and I would recommend a visit as the food itself was really fantastic and while it is one of the more expensive placed in The Hague, I do think it was worth it.

Excellent dinner for a birthday celebration. Jesse was a perfect host for the night. Highly recommend the Duck special.

I heard this was the only Asian Fusion restaurant in the Netherlands to receive a Michelin star, so we came here to celebrate my father in-law's birthday. The decor and service was very top-notch, it definitely deserved that star (unlike Koriander in Drachten). The food was definitely an interesting mix of Asian and French cuisines and all the combinations were pleasingly tasty and innovative. Food: 5/5 We took the 5 course chef's menu and unfortunately I forgot to write down the various dishes. However, everything was fresh, delicious and with many interesting compositions. One thing I really liked was that there was very limited amounts of seasoning and that allowed the freshness of the food's natural flavors to come out. The highlight of the meal was definitely the bone marrow. It may seem quite intimidating because it is served in the bone, but it was amazingly flavorful and tender. One thing I liked was that you can do a wine pairing per glass. Which means that you can choose which dishes you wanted a wine to drink with. This also meant that you didn't have to commit to a whole wine tasting (which is difficult for me because I'm a light weight and can't drink much). Service: 4/5 The staff was excellent and came around visiting our table, making sure we had enough water, wine and explaining all the dishes. Their wine sommelier is also amazing and recommended good wines that paired well with the dishes. For example, one wine paired with the venison tasted different before and after eating the meat. Atmosphere: 4/5 The decor exudes a luxe atmosphere and the decor is a very pretty understated Asian theme. (No tacky dragons - thank goodness...) Value: 4/5 A 5 course chef's menu was €57. It certainly isn't cheap, but the food was very tasty and well worth the money.

Actually went here on Saturday night with some friends by accident, the place we were going to was fully booked. So glad it was - this place is a real gem. A Oriental/French fusion affair done to an exceptional level. Expect to pay around 40 Euro for for courses. A great wine selection for all budgets and some of the best service you will find in Den Haag. This is also one of the few places I've been to recently where you can have a conversation with those around you without having to shout. My only gripe, even though it's a small one was the time between courses. One of our party just had two while the rest of us had four so an extra bottle of wine was required. Not a bad thing unless your tastes are for the more expensive.

While we were in Holland we did a lot of Chef's menus, so I was tasting menu-ed out, which I do not think set me up for success at this restaurant. I knew that it was Michelin and would be that way, but was also hoping I could just do a la carte and let my husband go to town. Unfortunately nothing a la carte appealed to me, so I did the 4-course and my husband did the 6-course. I must say that everything that I ate was absolutely delicious. And my husband was in heaven with all the different flavors and unique ingredients and presentation. The staff was also so very nice and attentive.

It may sound weird to combine French and Chinese kitchen, but I must admit I love the result! I consider this place to be one of the best restaurant of the area (and by that I mean not only the Hague, but also including the surroundings ;-) ) So the idea it either to get surprised by the chef, or choose yourself several plates. All small portions, fantastic taste. So anything between 3 to 5 usually. I stick to 4, that's enough :-) The quality of ingredients is excellent and then the preparation mixes the French quality with some Chinese savours... A must try. Service is also very good, better than most supposedly fancy places. And they leave you time to eat, they don't kick you out in 5 minutes :-)

We had the refinement. Excellent food and service. We had fish in about 3 out of 5 courses. Dessert was awesome. Great value. This reminded us of Nordic cuisine.

This review has been some time coming... Fusion cuisine in the Netherlands has had its ups and downs throughout the years. In all honesty, fusion of Dutch cuisine with anything else rarely succeeds. Hanting manages to successfully combine French and Chinese cuisine in a way that not only appeals to epicurists and epipurists alike, but has even convinced some of my Dutch friends to drag out their wallets on occasion. For me, that is the true mark of a restaurant in the Netherlands; once you've convinced the Dutch that it's worth spending money on, that is the final seal of approval you need. Well...that and a Michelin star. The four course tasting menu was the perfect meal for me. It provided me with a perfect view into exactly what this restaurant was capable of. Of course fresh ingrediants are to be expected, but the inventiveness of the presentation and the unique combination of flavors was the eye opener for me. I suggest the four course menu and to allow the staff to pair wines for you; you will not be disappointed. The first course was a razor clam paired with sea foam, the plate decorated with dots of puree of various vegetables, each unique and each intense. The second course was a salmon...what could only be described as a sashimi...but was in reality anything but. It was accompanied by a selection of greens and a very light ginger dressing. The third course, a filet of mackerel prepared in butter and served with carrot, turnip, and potato sliced paper thin and glazed in an herb-ginger preparation was the perfect third course, followed by the final course, a lamb shank served over perfectly prepared rice with an accompanying trio of chinese vegetables. Combined with the perfect atmosphere and the ever-attentive staff, one of the most enjoyable meals I've had in Den Haag ever. Perhaps the most surprising thing for me was that no one in The Hague seems to know about Hanting, or of those that know of it, no one has been. It is time for that to change.

We had the tasting menu and wine. The food was very good - nice presentation, good flavors, and a few surprises. They were confused when I asked for a martini, so I switched to just a whiskey on ice. The seating is a bit tight so the noise level can be a bit high.

Wow--what a wonderful restaurant! This is a Michelin one-star and it deserves every bit of its great reputation. My wife and I had the chef's surprise five course meal, and each stage was beautifully presented and wonderfully delicious. The service was outstanding, and the food was some of the best I have ever eaten. As one would expect of a restaurant of this caliber, the blend of flavors was remarkable, and the fusion theme made the taste experience all the more striking. The wines were great too. All in all, this is one of the best restaurant experiences I have ever had.
