Restaurant Zheng

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!

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.

Delicious food served in a very artistic and beautiful way, with a friendly and helpful service. Amazing wine pairings!!!

Amazing Chinese food. Every dish was a pleasant surprise. Even though I lived in China for 3 years, I never tasted food this good! Highly recommend!!

A Perfect Valentine’s Day Dinner – An Unforgettable Experience I had my first fine dining experience at Zheng on Valentine’s Day, and it was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and elegant—perfect for a romantic evening with my girlfriend. The highlight of our night, aside from the incredible food, was the impeccable service from Jesse. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and made us feel truly special. He took the time to explain the menu, recommend pairings, and ensured every detail was perfect throughout the night. The food was simply outstanding. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. From the appetizers to the dessert, each bite was a delight, and you could tell the ingredients were of the highest quality. This was an unforgettable experience, and I couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate Valentine’s Day. If you’re looking for a place that offers exceptional service, a romantic atmosphere, and top-notch cuisine, Zheng is the place to go. I will definitely be returning!

Had a fantastic new experience. Cozy atmosphere with friendly assistance from our server Jesse! Would recommend it to everyone who is looking for a new and thematic fine dining experience!

A harmonious symphony of flavors, beautifully presented in surprising dishes. Friendly service and stylish and chic ambiance.

If you’re looking for a restaurant to spend a special occasion (or to impress someone) this is the place to go! The interior gives modern Chinese temple with a spacious dining area that yet allows for intimacy. Our waiter was friendly and very (!) attentive (maybe a bit too attentive). We felt a bit pressured into ordering the duck (I am vegetarian) and then when we told him I was vegetarian, he tried to sell me the fish menu and was quite disappointed when I went for the vegetarian 5 course menu. He was also audibly disappointed when we did not go for a bottle of wine. I understand the idea of upselling and I have worked in service myself but I was missing a bit of subtleness. After we ordered, another waiter brought the food and I wish I would have asked for his name to credit him, as he did an outstanding job at explaining and presenting the dishes and managed to be conversational and funny without being intrusive. Now… THE FOOD… not just was this one of the most inventative and aesthetically pleasing menu I have seen, it was also very very tasty. I am always impressed whith a vegetarian menu of this high quality in taste. Every dish was an experience and the way they draped them Infront of us made it even more unique. We did not go for the wine pairing, as I always feel like that’s way too much wine but had a nice glass of red wine and a glass of champagne, both delicious. My personal highlight was the desert course consisting out of 3 variations of cherry desert. Lovely! Will come back for sure

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.
