ZEN ASIAN BBQ – Korean
North Naples' answer to a Japanese izakaya crossed with a Korean grill, sitting on Tamiami Trail and running late every night. The kitchen works Asian tapas and a sushi bar side by side: Hokkaido ramen, bulgogi ramen nachos, tom yum, old-school pad Thai, grilled octopus, spicy tuna tacos. Dim sum runs all day, with baked BBQ pork buns, pork soup dumplings, shrimp shu mai and pan-fried chive dumplings, while the raw bar leans on fish and meat imported from Japan and keeps wagyu on hand for the grill. There is a separate spicy Thai menu for people who mean it. Ambitious, and not quiet about it.
