The best sushi in Zurich so far! Delicious, fresh fish and very friendly service. If you're pressed for time though, you might not find the experience as enjoyable as they take their time to prepare and serve the food. read more

You know why this place is good? Because they have the fake Japanese food in the window display…read more ^.^ Actually, the food did taste pretty authentic. 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.

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.
This is a cute little sushi deli right by the train station. The inside was bright and airy, and…read morethey also have a rather large patio area outside. They have pre-made selections of bowls and sushi, or you can custom order on their kiosk for dining in or takeaway. We decided to dine in (prices are the same here whether you dine in or takeaway, which is nice). After placing our order on the kiosk, a ticket is printed out for you which you then take to the counter to pay. They give you a buzzer but the sweet gal actually brought our order to the counter table we picked out in the front corner, which was a great spot for people watching. My son and I both selected a make-your-own bowl and got salmon bowls customized with the toppings and sauce we liked (€18ish). They have a selection of wines and beers in the fridge too and I enjoyed a can of chilled Italian red wine (€9). Both of us liked our meals and were too full to get dessert... they have a matcha soft serve with Kit Kat topping that looked really good (€6).

I wanted to order the chicken Katsu bento to go thinking it will be made fresh to order but they just told me to pick up something that's already been pre-made. I didn't want to do it coz I wanted At least something freshly made. So the lady suggested chicken ramen. So I ordered it and 2 bottled water it ended up to 21 CHF ($26) . I said to myself, this better be the best bowl of ramen I've ever had in my life. My order literally came out within 5 mins so I went straight back to my hotel room excited to have some ramen. When I opened it, just by look of it, it didn't look like ramen. I took a sip and it was more like soba soup with ramen noodles. So so disappointed!!! And to pay that much it was nothing special. Most expensive bowl of ramen I've tasted and I think top ramen was way better!!

Ideal for a relaxed lunch or dinner, though best with a reservation due to its size. Pros: * Fresh, generously portioned sushi -- reviewers rave about "huge fish portions" and delicious, high-quality taste . * Top-notch ramen-- Tonkotsu and Tantanmen are consistently praised, with one reviewer noting the "delicious Tonkotsu & Tantamen Ramen, authentic flavors, carefully prepared fish, and friendly staff" . * Homemade gyoza and sauces--a highlight for many, "Hand made Gyoza. Even the sauce they serve is hand made" . * Warm, attentive service in a small, inviting space . * Great value for the quality, mid-range pricing around CHF30-40 per person . Cons: * Limited seating, as it's a cozy, compact restaurant--better reserve ahead. * Slightly on the pricier side for ramen or gyoza (~CHF10 for 4 pieces), though fans say it's worth it .

Me and my friends were lucky enough to just wait 30 minutes to get a table for 4. I ordered their Tonkatsu Ramen. It had a nice solid brothe to it, just missing a slight kick that a tonkatsu ramen generally has but still hella good! The noodles were slightly firm and it accompanied the brothe well. I had a WHOLE egg to myself and it was slightly runny which you know a damn fact makes a ramen more wholesome! The other bits of toppings were good as well. My friend order their Miso ramen which I gave a try and I'll say fora fact that it was lacking a bit in what a Miso ramen stands for. They were TOO generous with the bean sprouts which ruined the whole ramen experience for my friend All in all, I had a solid experience here but can't say the same for my buddy. Definitely them a try!

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!
This fried chicken Don buri is a reason to live in itself.

Salmon and Tuna were very fresh and good. Also my wife's inside out rolls were a pleasure. Why only 3 stars?

Also, I know it's not a big deal but, I love that the green tea is free (versus some other restaurants charge you a per person water charge)!!! POSITIVES: pretty good quality fish for Zurich, probably the best I've had so far. Lunch sets are worth it, for 30 CHF you'll leave feeling full, I like the sushi + nigiri lunch set although I wish there were more fish variety. I like that the place is run by Japanese people (I guess makes me feel like it's more authentic?) and the staff is super friendly. Great service. Green tea is free! NEGATIVES: small place, can get quite crowded. Fish variety usually only salmon and tuna and maybe yellowtail. TIPS: Order the sashimi boat for 65 CHF you get 11 different types of sashimi and it is enough for 2 people. Slightly more expensive than the lunch set but you get variety.

My dinner at Bimi was a standout among the half-dozen that I had in Zürich. The food was quite…read moregood without being outrageously priced. I started with a miso soup, which was perfect in taste, though fairly small in volume. My main order was the chirashi "sushi" dinner, which is actually a heap of de-constructed sushi in a large bowl (rice at the bottom, fish and other items -- like a huge clump of wasabi -- on top). The chirashi was perfect in all respects; especially, I thought that the quality of fish was exceptional. I made the mistake of eating a clump of "something" in the bowl without looking; this turned out to be the wasabi -- sad! At Bimi, and elsewhere, it's best to pay attention to what goes in your mouth. There was a large variety of shochu on the menu. I ordered a shochu somewhat randomly (taking the second one from the top, if I remember correctly). It was served with water, over ice -- I enjoyed the drink and thought it was a fine accompaniment to the chirashi. I got tastes of a starter salad and a bowl of matcha ice cream with red beans. The salad was A-OK, and the ice cream made a wonderful dessert.

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.

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.

Service was friendly without being overbearing, and they handled dietary requests with care and respect. It's clear they take pride in what they serve and how they serve it. Not cheap, but worth every franc. Perfect for a date night, a quiet solo indulgence, or just treating yourself to something extraordinary.
