No one came to the table to ask us about drinks. About 10-15 minutes in, the manager came over and asked if we were ready to order. We gave him our order and also had to ask for drinks. Our order came and the food was hot and delicious. The manager who appeared to be our server never came over to check on us and to see if we needed anything. When we were finished, we waited and waited for them to come over and check on us and bring our check. We wiated approximately 15 minutes and we finally asked the manager for our check. Nothing! After another 10-15 minutes my daughter went in asked for the check. Nothing! I then went in and he could sense my anger so he pointed to some girl who then brought us our bill. This entire time the manager was not busy as we could see him through the window. I have never ever been treated like this. Was it because I was from a foreign country, i don't know. It appeared his actions were deliberate

My meal at Cha Cha made me sad…read more After spending a whole week in Switzerland, I was craving a good Asian meal. There was no doubt that I was so excited to find out that ChaCha is located right across the street from the Radisson Blu where I've been staying. When I walked into the restaurant, I liked the vibe. Long community tables with bright and modern decor-hip, upscale, but casual. The wait staff was not particularly friendly, but efficient. The menu was pretty comprehensive with typical selections found in a Thai restaurant (comparing to the Thai places in the US). I ordered chicken satay, Tom yum goong, and a bowl of jasmine rice. First the chicken satay arrived- I looked at it and thought 'hmm, interesting looking skewers'. Well, it was interesting because the chicken on the skewer were not grilled, they were breaded and pan deep fried! I would have let it go since who can complain about fried food- however, I couldn't let it go because the chicken was so dry and bland. The dipping sauce tasted like the masala marinate that the chicken should have been marinated in- but it was served in a running gel like sauce for dipping. It wasn't good. Then, the tom yum and jasmine rice were served. The jasmine rice was cooked perfectly. Broken, aromatic, fluffy and good. The Tom yum on the other hand, broke my heart! The soup had no flavor of lemongrass, cilantro, or onion. It was extremely sour and the base was just a diluted tomato broth. It was also very strange that the soup was topped with a bell pepper slaw. The whole bowl tasted like a really sour, bell pepper flavored warm tomato water with a few pieces of mushrooms and chicken. I was starving but I couldn't finish my dinner. Perhaps the flavors were modified based on local preference, since the place seemed popular and busy. But it was definitely not for me. I would also caution those who like the way Thai food is flavored in the US and Asia to not expect the same flavor profile here. So disappointed in this meal. Light at the end of the tunnel was that I returned home just a day after this meal, and I made a straight line to my local hole-in-the wall Thai take out- I needed to mend my broken heart.

Overall, it's hard to justify anything past a 1 star for my experience. In my perspective, if you're going to a restaurant with a premium price tag, you'd expect the same. It's a restaurant with the name "Spices" in it, and I don't think I tasted anything other that soy sauce and 5 spice if anything. I am Asian and eat lots of Asian cuisine and was very disappointed when everything tasted overly salty with no real flavor. You can tell the vegetables and proteins were of higher quality but it wasn't paired with any good seasoning. If you were able to get good seating with a view then it helps with the experience but still not sure if it justified the cost. The service was fine, the waiters were kid but we felt left "unattended" a number of times. We tried the chefs choice which has a mixture of dishes and unfortunately just wasn't good. The potential is there but I don't plan on coming back anytime soon.

Das Essen war vorzüglich zubereitet und hat entsprechend gut geschmeckt! Ich hatte 'Ente, Acht Köstlichkeiten' in einer Tit Pan serviert! Am Tisch wurde auch von der Möglichkeit gebrauch gemacht, ein Menu mit verschiedenen Hauptgängen zu nehmen, diese präsentierten sich auch schön. Als wir ins Restaurant kamen, war es noch etwas leer, doch war es etwas später bis auf den letzten Platz gefüllt. Der Service war nicht immer der schnellste, aber sehr zuvorkommend. Ich komme gerne wieder einmal!
