Zen Box Izakaya Nutrition Facts
Last updated: May 12, 2026 · How we source & estimate these macros
Zen Box Izakaya is a Japanese restaurant in Minneapolis's North Loop, serving izakaya-style small plates alongside ramen and other cooked dishes.
Japanese menus generally split cleanly into fried items and raw or grilled ones. Sashimi, nigiri, chicken yakitori, and grilled fish typically deliver a solid amount of protein at relatively low calories, while ramen broths tend to be sodium- and fat-dense — though toppings like chashu pork and egg do add real protein, so asking for extra topping rather than extra noodles is usually the better trade. Tempura, katsu, and gyoza are commonly the calorie traps on an izakaya menu, and rolls built with cream cheese, mayo-based sauce, or tempura crunch tend to land in the splurge category.
