The best Asian fusion food I’ve had in a long time. Service was excellent and the food 👌🏿👌🏿. Very tasty with no artificial additives. Ooh the cumin lamb was soo good. This now a new family favourite. So good we don’t mind travelling 2hrs just for the food.

Excellent food, everything is cooked fresh, has a varied menu. I have eaten there many times and also held my retirement party there and we hired the whole Restuarant. They catered for 50 of us with 7 courses, each as delicious as the course before. I have several food intolerances and the dishes are always prepared to not include what I can’t eat. In my experiences this doesn’t happen in most Restuarants The staff are very friendly and highly efficient, In my opinion it is the best Restuarant in Chelmsford

Went for lunch. Got bill,added 10% tip. Got home to find out they'd already added service charge. Nobody had said a word,but waitress did say _ come back soon_no wonder!, 20% tip. Disgraceful practice,to say the least. Previous visit to this was charged for a bottle of wine that was not ordered. Really really shouldn't give them any business. Most definitely won't be visiting again,nor will my vastcircle of friends

Food was lovely have been many times before, however portions were so much smaller then in June so much so that it noticed and was definitely half the size very disappointing! When we mentioned it politely we were told there was a new head chef and there had been a few complaints since it changed last month.. prices have not changed… big shame and would put us off going again!

Food is okay, but overpriced for food and location, charging London prices, portion sizes and not very big, seem to be getting smaller. The place is worth a visit just be prepared to pay £70 a head.

Very nice place, good staff, great food. However we go at least once a month and really look forward to it, but they have halved the portion size to a point of costing at least £30 more per couple to get a fair size meal now costing £130 per couple and that’s not going mad with drink ! Probably going to give it a miss now . Shame !!!!

Disappointment throughout We were shown to out table and given menus, 15 minutes to take any order for drinks. The restaurant was busy, there was a party of 16 in side room playing music through their own speaker, heard throughout the night in the main area Our table was booked for 830 It may have been advisable for them not to take the booking, they were clearly very busy and understaffed- something they would have known earlier in the day - in fact the owner later told us our issues were because of this, the MD told us the Head Chef had retired and the kitchen staff were struggling- much better to be told the truth We had first course served at 930, duck at 1030 and main course at 1120 - all on to cold plates that had been put out at least 15 minutes before Had to ask for drinks, wine not topped up Food is overpriced and nothing special - duck was not shredded at the table, was lukewarm and no crispy skin At 1140 and having been sat at the table for two hours we really had no appetite for the main course Plates taken away we were not offered coffees -we had to ask twice due the bill Whilst they reduced the bill, after our comments on service and quality of food a better experience would have been a nicer outcome

Four of us attended last night it was absolutely boiling to the point we were dripping with sweat the whole way through our meal. Food and service was good no complaints there! A fan was positioned at the top of the stairs , just one which was for the whole room! One of the staff told us the manager had said the air conditioning could not be switched on as too expensive? We paid £75 per head - think they were charging enough money to be able to switch it on especially as we are experiencing a heatwave. Not a nice experience which is a shame

Hopefully just a bad night. Before lock down, Zenxi (until tonight) has been the best local Chinese we have encountered. (Almost Chinese fine dining!) Tonight it all felt different - the crispy duck was not crispy and looked mechanically recovered. The Kung Po prawns were tough and chewy and the mushrooms in the fillet steak weren’t even edible. I’m hoping there is a stand in chef for the night. A yellow card from me as I don’t want to experience another meal like this.

Well I visited ZENXI recently and they are strictly observing Covid rules. Sanitizers on every table- and every table properly spaced. All of the staff that I came into contact with were wearing face coverings or masks. No other restaurant is doing it so well.We all know temperatures have been unbearable but for the recent reviewer to say it was more comfortable outside is nonsense. The food is always way above average, and what’s more Mark and his staff give service way above average also. After 4 months ZENXI is back, fully booked, and doing its very best. All businesses are doing their best to adapt to these difficult times, and they deserve support. Judge it for yourselves. I have visited countless times since it opened and have never been disappointed.

Had a table at Zenxi last night for 6 people and needless to say I will not be returning.Arrived at 7.30 - NONE of the staff (bar 1 waitress) were wearing masks and the social distancing was negligable. The Champagne cocktail was not champagne but cheap Prosecco. The tables are not spaced apart but exactly the same as they were before C19. The restaurant was fully booked and I felt it was so overcrowded. I went to the ladies upstairs and was astonished to see a table of at least 24 people amount the diners???? The toilets were horrible. All had toilet paper blocking the bowls. Not a drop of hand sanitiser in sight. The area where we sat got hotter and hotter all night despite the staff saying the air-con was on! In fact I had to go out at one point and it was cooler outside!In all fairness the food was OK but the service was terrible and all in all we were at the table over 31/2 hours and we didn't have dessert. We didn't drink that much only 1 bottle of wine between 6 and a couple of spirits.I felt really uncomfortable all night, not only with the heat but the fact that this restaurant are quite clearly not sticking to the COVID rules that other restaurants are! I won't be returning.

I used to go to Zenxi a fair bit, and had recommended it to others on several occasions. The food was always really tasty and of high quality.However, I recently visited on a Sunday when the restaurant was very quiet on arrival (2pm) and the food was absolutely not what it once was. The mixed starters were nice as well as the egg fried rice, but the chicken dishes were dry and the seafood rice was too salty.The staff were not attentive at all, and did not come and ask us how our food was. I had to go and locate a staff member to ask for the seafood rice to be changed and found they were sat folding napkins. The next seafood rice came approx. 10-15 mins later when we were finishing up which was annoying and this time contained no salt or other flavour at all.Quite a disappointment given the £110 price tag, I would normally feedback more on the day but the staff were not around enough and it was a Birthday occasion so didn't want to ruin it further.A real shame as I remember this place when it was amazing, hopefully it will return to fab food and service in the future.

Zenxi is by far the best restaurant around. The food is always amazing and the service is faultless. Mark always goes above and beyond and it's always such a pleasure to see him. Can't wait for our next visit!

First time visit with friends who recommended me this place doe my wife’s birthday. Had so much fun from start to finish. The staff and management were excellent and the quality of food was amazing. It looked all so fresh and colourful. The scallops were spot on. Look forward to to a return visit for sure and would have no hesitation recommending this establishment. Thx to staff and management for making it a great night. You all provided an outstanding service. Well down.
