    About Zyng Asian Grill

    An exciting, fresh, vibrant, contemporary Asian dining experience! Set in an Asian-inspired, funky, vibrant market atmosphere, you are immediately attracted by the colors, sounds and smells permeating throughout the casual dining restaurant. In late 1995, Canadian businessman Arnold Shostak was in the Far East - China, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Thailand. Before the trip, in his usual methodical and careful manner, he'd "read ahead" - guide books, histories, business reports, the Internet. He was an informed traveler and knew what to expect in each of the countries on his itinerary. Even so, Asia's ubiquitous noodle shops surprised him. "I couldn't believe how many there are - countless thousands! And I was amazed at their efficiency - even little mom-and-pop-owned-and-operated noodle restaurants were thriving, humming at all hours". An open kitchen with a Teppan Grill is the center stage for The Noodle People, cooking dishes emanating from China, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore & Korea. Choose from our large and diverse selection of appetizers - dumplings, yakitori, spring rolls, noodle salads, small bowls of soup and more. A variety of specialty meals-in-bowls including the world's best Pad Thai, the one and only Zyngapore Noodles, Zyng Peanut Toss as well as other favorites.
