About Us

For over 20 years, Chef Victor and Chiara Covelli’s Zen Forrest was a beloved dining destination for food lovers across Tampa Bay. Known for serving some of the best Pan-Asian food, Zen Forrest brought together the bold flavors of Chinese food, Korean food, Japanese sushi, Thai cuisine, and more—all crafted with precision and passion. The restaurant’s extensive wine list and warm atmosphere made it a favorite gathering place for both locals and visitors. Now, we continue that legacy with Zen Kitchen & Bar, a modern culinary experience in the heart of Downtown New Port Richey. We proudly serve some of the best Indian food in Tampa Bay, alongside expertly crafted sushi, Korean BBQ dishes, and Chinese favorites. Whether you're looking for a casual meal, a night out, or a special event, we have something for everyone. Hosting an event? Our private function room is perfect for birthdays, retirement parties, engagement celebrations, showers, rehearsal dinners, and business meetings. We also offer catering, takeout, and delivery, making it easy to enjoy Zen Kitchen & Bar wherever you are in New Port Richey, Trinity, Port Richey, or Tarpon Springs. Come experience the flavors of Zen, where every dish is crafted with passion and tradition, and every visit feels like home.
