The outdoor seating was wonderful, especially for us first time visitors to Zurich - to "street watch" - especially on a lovely summer evening. Service was friendly and we were extremely appreciative of the fast service - we were hungry !!! I had been very specific that we wanted "regular water" but they charged me and my colleague for mineral water (4.00€ per person) which was disappointing. We ordered one order of the Veggie Spring rolls (8.00€) Super Small portion (see picture) & only 2 pieces. My colleague ordered the Khao Suey with Shrimp (29.00€) which was extremely well presented and delicious. My red curry (vegetarian - 23.00€) was pretty to look at BUT I asked them to make it spicy and it wasn't very spicy. However it was warm and comforting and I was hungry enough that I pretty much ate everything that is pictured. In all, I went in with not very high expectations but left satisfied and wonderfully full and it was a great way to end my Day 1 in Zurich.

Small rolls & only 2 pieces. My main was the Sweet & Sour Chicken (27.00€). That was delicious. Very tasty with a side of white rice. I would have preferred brown rice. Our small group of 3 ppl (2 alcohol servings + 3 mains & 3 apples) cost a mere 142.50€! That's almost $215 Cdn. Very costly meal for Cdn standards! BTW...it was 4.00€ for tap water!

This is a rather small restaurant right off the Talwiesenstrasse tram stop or a short walk from Goldbrunnenplatz and Schmiede Wiedikon. Very cozy and decorated with Tibetan stuff. The entire restaurant was full on Thursday night. We got to try a variety of food, and everything was kind of reminiscent of other familiar dishes, yet different in its own way. I liked how the food wasn't very spicy (I don't like spice) but still had a lot of flavor. And you could increase the heat to your liking with a variety of sauces. Everything had a great mouth feel (i.e. great density and lots of "Q", as we say in Taiwanese). Let's see if I can remember everything I ate. I don't know the names of any of the dishes, so I'll try my best to describe them here. 1. Thick flour crackers. Plain, but I liked them. Great crunch. 2. Clear vegetable soup with 3 kinds of spicy sauces you could add to increase the heat. 3. Thick dumplings--a vegetarian one filled with mashed potato (kind of like a pierogi) and one filled with meat (kind of like Chinese dumplings with the juice inside). 4. Chewy flat bread (kind of like a naan or Chinese bing). 5. A meat pie (kind of like a empanada). 6. A slightly spicy eggplant dish cooked in a thick, dark sauce. 7. Tiny strips of yak meat cooked with veggies. The yak tasted kind of like beef. 8. Glass noodles with black fungus (wood ear). 9. Spicy yogurt sauce. 10. Fried rice with mixed veggies. 11. Cucumber salad. 12. Cooked vegetables. 13. Some kind of salad that was pink (due to roses, I think). It kind of looked like shredded turnip, but I wasn't exactly sure what it was. 14. Barley flour ice cream. Overall, this was a great experience. The food was really heavy and yummy, and I definitely stuffed myself like a pig trying all the different foods.

Since affordable ones are exceedingly rare to come by in Zurich I rejoiced when I heard that the Shanrgila offers them all you can eat for merely 23.- a person! Thus, this review is for the lunch buffet (every Tues, Thurs, Fri) which I've attended half a dozen times in the last 10 months. There is nothing I could complain about: the people are super nice, the food is always amazing and fresh, the restaurant is clean and you always get a good deal with the Momos. Really, what could be wrong when you can treat yourself to all the beef Momos you can eat in all their juicy, savory, beefy goodness, which you eat by hand, btw. Finish your meal with a "Gerstenglacé" - if you can. It's a tiny portion of ice cream made from barley topped with dried Himalayan roots. So yummy and just the right amount after having stuffed yourself with the all-you-can-eat Momo.

Jialu Chinese restaurant newly located in the National Hotel,Luzern, is an absolute welcome…read moreaddition to the current Asian restaurants on offer! I hail from Australia and we are spoiled for choices of wonderful asian restaurants, Chinese in particular ,so I like to think I know 'my stuff'. Before I forget, I would also like to add that the owners also have a 'Jialu' located in Hochdorf. First of all the Luzern location is wonderful and when booking try to ask for a table on the window looking out onto the See Promenade so you have a wonderful view to the outside, but if not, no matter. The decor of this restaurant reflects the attention to detail of its owners..It is modern Chinese , very attractive lighting and the furniture was hand made in a modern twist of the traditional style. Even the chairs have traditional Chinese characters carved into the back rests but you won t find the taboo 'bad luck no 4' anywhere. I also really enjoyed the earthy dinner ware..the soup bowls on three legs are pure theatre....fantastic as you will find out if you order it, right down to the very delicate and gorgeous tea cups with the very whimsical almost alive little gold fish 'swimming' in the bottom. But what about the food you ask! Well, we read the Menu card for ages trying to decide...so many delicious sounding offerings that we were spoiled for choice. I also want to add here that Jialu prides itself on authentic Chinese cuisine using the freshest of ingredients. The owner and her chefs all hail from near Beijing so the cuisine is northern China and Sichuan. Very importantly they do not use the very unhealthy MSG (Monosodium Glutamate with its range of nasty side effects, was banned in Australia on medical grounds for years now ) Their fish and prawns are MSC certified , and they can even provide Gluten-Free and Lactose Free on request. YAY!!!! Well, my husband chose the "Scharf Saure' Suppe/Hot and Sour Soup made with chicken, egg and Bamboo , I had the Jialu Fruelingsrollen/ Chicken Spring rolls with a plum sauce which was such a very generous serve there was plenty to share with my lucky husband. He declared the soup delicious and nicely 'hot'. My Spring rolls were generously filled with vegetables and chicken and the rich sweet sauce complimented them nicely. It was also served on a bed of very fresh lettuce leaves and I ate them too. The only tiny criticism was that they were served so quickly from the wok..and perhaps I was too greedy!, but I did burn my tongue on them...so consider yourself fore warned and take it slow. Next up was the Guo Bao Schwein/ Crispy coated and deep fried Pork with a Plum And honey sauce. As with most of their main dishes,it came served with nicely sticky steamed Jasmine rice. Very tasty and it was enjoyed. My husband chose a French Sancerre wine to accompany our meal. We then took a small break and waited for the Knusprige Ente, which is Jialu s version of Peking Duck. This came to the table in three parts. The pancakes in a bamboo steamer basket-6,but you can ask for more. On a separate plate, the shredded cucumber, spring onion and I think, Hoisin sauce. Then , served in a bowl , the duck with crispy skin with thinly sliced flesh attached and sitting atop a broth with pak choy. We enjoyed the ceremony of assembling the pancakes and the pleasure of eating them. Delicious! Sadly there was no room for dessert this time, but we did share a pot of Jasmine tea to finish up. Anyone who has read my reviews know how I love a good cup of tea and I was not disappointed. It was perfect to help with the digestion of the rich meal we had just enjoyed and the whimsical little goldfish at the bottom of our tea cups was a lovely touch! We were delighted to be given superior quality Fortune Cookies with the Bill! Through out the meal our very attentive and friendly Hostess, Frau Achermann- Liu, was on hand to advise and guide you through her menu and you can chose to converse perfectly in German, English or of course, Chinese. Her waiters were also very friendly and efficient. Go and try for yourselves and spread the word! In the warmer weather there is the added attraction of a lovely terrace area adjacent to the See Promenade. It is open for Lunch or dinner but it is closed on Mondays . Like all Chinese Restaurants, Jialu is Family and child friendly ....We were delighted with our experience and will definitely be back!

As this placed was booked out 2 weeks ago, we were lucky to get a reservation 3 days in advance due to a last-minute cancellation. However, they forgot to write it down, and there was a bit of drama in the beginning before we were finally seated. Lovely decor, but very disappointing food. Sushi was mostly hard rice with very little fish. Miso soup wasn't very good. Chinese food was all deep-fried and smothered in gooey sauces. The best food was the fresh fruit and cream puffs. Cute concept with warm dishes on top belt and cool dishes on bottom belt, but the food was not really high quality. They put ice cream on the bottom belt, and it melted after a while. Perhaps ok as "Asian exotica" suited for local tastes, but certainly not passable as decent Asian food for this Taiwanese-American girl. If you like variety and want to fill up on Western-style Asian food, then this would be a good deal for you. However, I think I expected too much in terms of quality. Will not be coming back.
