We started with some wine drinks, which were ok but really nothing amazing. The ramen was really tasty, but didn't stand out as one of the best for me. I got the spicy one and it was nowhere close to spicy. The miso ramen had great flavor, but again wasn't anything special. Definitely a solid ramen spot, but I think the food and drinks could use a little something to add to the pizzazz.

This was my first Swiss Ramen stop out of the 3 places I've had bookmarked for their ramen. So I…read morewas quite excited to give it a try. I ordered their Shoyu Ramen, originally I wanted to try their tonkatsu ramen but they unfortunately sold out for the day, mind you...I came in 50 minutes before they closed . The brothe was delicious and hearty but it lacked the dense weight a Shoyu ramen should normally have. The chasu was interesting since it's not your traditional Japanese pork but of swiss origin; wasn't bad, just wished it had some more flavor to it. The noodles were any typical ramen noodles you can get a basic ramen shop, I wish they served it in some firm wheat ramen noodles Overall, it was a decent experience. If I'm ever around the area again, I plan to try their tonkatsu ramen as that was my original goal.

Tantanmen had sesame oil flavors and the shoyu broth was very light but a bit bland for me so I added the extra sauces they had on the table. The noodles are made fresh in restaurant and they have a clear glass so you can see it being made if you're lucky. It was pretty cool watching one of the workers make it. The noodles definitely tasted great and was authentic. This ramen place is a bit on the pricier side and my friend said the prices were noticable raised but she loves this place so much, it didn't bother her. There are public bathrooms downstairs that they keep taken care of. As soon as you sit, they have clear separating glasses between tables which feels very sanitary, I love it. The ramen served is very aesthetic. I love the way they write their slogan on the nori. My favorite part is that they give you a bib to wear which was easy to put on. Both my friend and I definitely needed it because we both had soup spills on our bibs haha service was nice and they have wifi as well. This place seems to get packed very easily!

My buddy and I had the donburi meals, complete with a side of tempura and miso soup. The only caveat to a similar meal back home is that I paired it with a glass of prosecco, but my dining partner did go the traditional route with hot green tea. The restaurant was pretty quiet to the point where I felt I had to whisper when talking, but it could have been because we were early to dinner and the place wasn't filled with customers yet. Once again, good food, but at Zürich prices.

I was so full but could not leave out the beautiful desert. Hato is on my top 5 list with Joel Robuchon, French Laundry, morimoto's and Alain Ducasse's worldwide places.

We both like…read moreJapanese fusion food so when I heard about Hato I knew that this was the place we had to go. 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.

She is warm, engaging, incredibly knowledgeable, and a true master of her craft. Her passion for both food and wine shines through in every conversation, and her thoughtfully curated wine elevated each course beautifully. The omakase itself was nothing short of extraordinary. Every dish was impeccably prepared, balancing artistry, flavor, and technique. What made the experience especially unique was the culinary journey across Asia--each course was inspired by a different region, telling its own story while seamlessly fitting into the overall progression of the meal. Every bite was intentional, creative, and absolutely delicious. This is so much more than dinner; it's an immersive culinary experience that celebrates the incredible diversity of Asian cuisine with elegance and authenticity.

In Switzerland, it's especially popular with lunch time shoppers, but I love it for the pleasant ambience, friendly staff and deliciously varied menu all of which are best experienced in evening. Sushi and Switzerland aren't normally two things that go hand in hand. For starters, the sea is a long way away. On top of that, prices of imported food are kept high to encourage eating local goods. With that context, and the 15 or so Japanese restaurants I've eaten at in Zurich - Sushi Shop is absolutely fantastic. My partner and I will be eating here for weeks yet.

Right in the front of the store is the made for take out foods, such as sandwiches (which there is a turkey sandwich with mango sauce that I like), salads, wraps and sushi/sashimi. I normally get the fast option of sashimi (available in salmon, tuna or both) with rice and a miso soup - the sushi/sashimi are priced well and are of ok quality (vs buying your sushi from Migros/Coop, eek). There is also a hot foods buffet (Asian) but it can be pricey so watch how much you pile on! Inside there is a Japanese noodle soup area, which I have tried once - it is okay, but nothing to die for.

This place is easily forgotten because it is not on the main street, and since it's between Nespresso and Paradeplatz, it's often an area that people are in a rush and pass by O'Tabe without noticing it. Four stars to decent sushi offerings at ok Zurich prices while being located just steps away from bankers paradise capital. Location, location, location. If it was in some far out neighborhood it probably wouldn't be my first choice to go there. Lunchtime can be busy due to its vicinity to Paradeplatz, so reserve when you can during that time. I'd recommend having the sashimi bento box for CHF 32. For those squirmy on fishie food, go for the meat bento box - no fish! :-) Their tea is ok, they use decent tea bags but not tea leaves. So not a total Eastern style dining paradise. I'd much prefer with Japanese food to be consumed with tea using real Japanese style green tea leaves. This place is not all run/managed by an entire staff of Japanese unlike Samurai, which continues to be my cheap and cheery favorite (though neighborhood location there one can say is "less desirable").
