    Miso Soup - don't need the spoon though, too big here :)
    Theresa W.

    I just moved to the city (this area) and found Bimi in the Yelp suggestions when looking for a nice place to have lunch by myself. The place was really packed for a weekday but I got lucky and got a seat - I offered to sit at the bar because I was alone but they kindly offered me a table. I ordered the special bento box because I had read good comments here and a green tea - they were out of one of the bento box ingredients so I ordered a sushi lunch but then they came back to offer me a slightly changed bento, which I gratefully ordered. The food came very quickly which I enjoy a lot around lunch time. The bento box was really delicious and a generous serving. The soup was good but I would prefer another component as you already get a miso soup as a starter (make miso soup optional with a salad or something?), I would have preferred some tempura instead. Other than that, next time I would go for the smaller bento box for two reasons: 1. The big one is too big of a portion for me for lunch 2. The sashimi that comes with the big one was a 6/10. -2 for taste, -1 for really small pieces (half of what o would call generous size) and -1 for missing ginger. I will definitely come back to try more sushi and see if the pieces are bigger in the regular sushi/sashimi dishes. Then I'm definitely giving star no. 5!

    Bento Box

    Prices are a bit steep for dinner, but I have come to this place a couple times for their great bento boxes. They are of highest quality and in my view quite a steal at CHF 19.50 in terms of price / value. If you want a great lunch experience in a nice setting with good service, this is the place to go. The weekly rotating bento boxes are described online and usually come with two main "courses", rice and a couple side dishes. Additionally, a miso soup is served, which is also of highest quality and one of the best ones I have had.

    Qype User (lejo…)

    Very nice place. Lots of Japanese people so I guess it's a good sign the food's close to what they are used to. Had the best miso soup I ever had. Slightly expensive but totally worth it if you wanna taste Japanese food. I recommend everything they bring you in pots and cook on your table. Decoration/ambiance could be better

    Bento box

    Had lunch here a couple weeks ago with the BF and it was very good. I ordered the bento box because it makes the most sense to me, money wise and also for the variety that comes inside. I believe their boxes change once weekly. Mine included some pickled veggies, cold japanese omelette, grilled salmon, potato salad, fried dumplings, white rice and miso soup! The salmon was great, dumplings great, rice normal, miso soup amazing, but the potato salad reminded me of american picnic potato salad..which I like but have no idea what made it japanese... and the omelette was just not my cup of tea. Give me an omelette any day but the temperature of my eggs I like to be...how do I put this...hot? Haha I am not a fan of cold eggs. Ew ew ew ew ew. lsjdflsjdflk. Overall it was a great meal and service and interior were both good too. For the money I think it is a nice experience and great quality. I am excited to go back :)

    Great Japanese restaurant, traditional one, not "gourmet". Only observation is the price, which is as every food in Switzerland, expensive.

    3.5 stars but rounded up to 4 stars…read more I love love sushi, I consider it a food staple and when I first moved to Zurich I tried the sushi at COOP which was expensive and awful. So I started packing my bags, to leave Switzerland but halfway boxing my stuff up I decided to give Yooji's a try. It was for sure not super good sushi but acceptable enough not to move :-) Yooji'in Bellevue has two sections with two separate entrances but internally linked: one Kaiten-sushi (conveyor belt) restaurant section and one take-away where you can buy ready made sushi. The sushi is not bad if you compare it to what you can get in the supermarket but the price is the same, so for Zurich this is reasonably priced. For lovers of specialty rolls, their selection is quite limited but I am not a huge fan of them anyway. I had much better sushi at this price point before, just not in Switzerland and I am already content that I can eat some a-ok sushi without breaking the bank. Oh and extra bonus points for their hours: they are open daily from 11 am to 11 pm, also on Sundays.

Went twice, just to make sure... as they say, the state of the toilet reflects the quality of the food. ;-) They ran out of green tea mochi ice cream though, but I had the mango and passionfruit ones, and they were delicious. Next time I will try the other flavours. Crikey! The white wine Roero Arneis (Italian) was really lovely. Must say wine and fish makes a good marriage. ;-)

"Shall we get takeout?" my bf asked, and I readily agreed. After all, we had just flown back from a weekend trip, and the fridge was empty at home. Images of Panda Express danced in our heads as we went inside to order. Ah... just like the good 'ol days back in America! :) We looked at the already-cooked food options and settled on a beef stir-fry and chicken dish. Paired with steamed rice, it was the perfect late lunch to go. Awesome! The place looked a bit sparse but clean, and it was open on Sunday, woot! Then it was time to pay. CHF 33!! Say what?? This ain't no Panda Express. Welcome back to Switzerland, baby. :/ The food was pretty tasty, but very salty--almost too salty. Thank goodness we had gotten the regular steamed rice instead of the fried rice or pan-fried noodles I was eyeing earlier. The beef dish was surprisingly spicy. I normally don't find really spicy foods in Zürich, so that was interesting. The chicken was a bit sweet. Both dishes had very tender meats, yum. And the portions were quite generous. We only ate about half of each dish and had enough leftover for dinner later that night. :)

    A relatively simple place but with good prices for being in the city of Zurich. Perfect for when…read moreyou want a quicker tasty Asian dinner dinner without paying a fortune. My personal favorite is Chinese Duck.

    The Ginger - more than sushi - in Zurich Seefeld is one of the best sushi restaurants in Zurich…read more The prices are clearly at the top range, but you are also getting some extraordinary Sushis. Whether lobster in an orange, hot tuna sashimi, .... The sushi cooks are situated in the middle of the restaurant, and are preparing the exceptional dishes right in front of your eyes.

Ginger is a guarantee for extravagant creations that make your heart beat faster. Reservation is key !!!

Of course, when you have too high expectations... reality tends to fall a bit short. The restaurant is situated on Seefeldstrasse, so I guess that would make it hip and trendy. The place was packed, and we were lucky to get the last seats at the sushi bar. In contrast to other sushi places that have different-colored plates, Ginger uses little fish silhouettes to indicate the price of each dish. One little fish on the edge of the plate signaled $. Two little fish, $$. Three little fishies... you get the idea. As the plates of sushi swept by us on the conveyor belt, my buddy said to me, "Take whatever you want: it's on me." Nice, but!!! I was freaking out at the sushi prices. This was $$$$$?! Somehow I can't enjoy my food properly when I'm freaking out about the price. The food was fine, but the cost made it too hard to swallow. Nevermind that I wasn't even paying that night; my arms were stuck to my sides and unable to grab any plates off the conveyor belt. I think the perception of "value for money" has a huge psychological impact on my enjoyment of food. I would like to give this review a 4 star for the food, but I have to drop it down to a 3 star due to the prices. If you're made of money and want to eat sushi in a trendy nightspot, then this is for you. But if you're a normal Joe who is looking for a special treat to splurge on one night, I would say go to Konstanz instead. Restaurant Deli has yummy sushi in a cool atmosphere at prices that won't break the bank.

I looked at the menu before going and was super excited but to be honest, the host was not very friendly at all. She gave my friend and I a look and apparently we were not up to her standards or maybe she is a snooty person? Our waiter had the same attitude at first, he did not give any explanation on the menu, except that he volunteered info that we could opt for a glass of wine instead of a bottle if we wanted to save some money (not kidding!). However, when the food arrived we were in heaven! All the dishes were AH-MAH-ZING. I honestly don't know what was the best: the Hamachi with yuzu & truffle was super delicious, the dressing complemented the fish instead of overpowering it. I was super hesitant about the eggplant nigiri sushi but my friend wanted it and it surprised me pleasantly. In addition, the sashimi was by far the best one I had in Switzerland. I also want to point out that the matcha chiffon cake was a big hit, even for people like me who are typically not big on desserts. I must also admit that our waiter seemed to mellow up once we ordered food and drinks, he was very happy to give us recommendations of Japanese whiskey to finish our meal and the manager gave us free shots to end the evening - so I guess the initial awkwardness disappeared. However, I still think that restaurants should be welcoming to everyone, regardless of how much they spend, hence, I am not giving it a full 5 star review. So this is a super high 4 star review, overall I had a great night at Hato, maybe 5 star is in their future because I will definitely revisit.
