The story
Zen Tea is the vegetarian dining concept under the renowned Bingsheng Group, a Cantonese culinary powerhouse that began in Guangzhou in 1996. Founded in 2013 as one of the group's five distinctive brands, Zen Tea embodies the same philosophy that has earned Bingsheng nearly a hundred accolades: authentic flavors, fresh ingredients, health, and innovation. The restaurant's commitment to pure, plant-based Cantonese cooking has been recognized with a Michelin Recommended distinction in 2026, placing it among Manila's noteworthy dining destinations.
Staying true to the group's ethos of "original taste, fresh, healthy, innovative," Zen Tea translates classic Cantonese techniques into a vegetable-forward menu. While the group's repertoire includes signature series like roast meats, raw fish, and abalone, Zen Tea focuses on the lighter, cleaner side of Cantonese cuisine — using seasonal produce and meticulous preparation to highlight natural flavors. This approach resonates with both vegetarians and those seeking a refined yet wholesome dining experience.
Behind Zen Tea is a group with over 30 years of industry experience, spearheaded by founder and chairman and a dedicated executive chef team. The Bingsheng Group has built a multi-brand portfolio spanning Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and its restaurants have earned Michelin stars, Black Pearl honors, and other prestigious awards. Zen Tea carries this legacy forward in Manila, offering a serene setting and a menu that respects tradition while embracing modernity. It is a place where Cantonese cuisine meets mindful eating, proving that great food can be both plant-based and profoundly satisfying.
