#1 Yelp rated Chinese restaurant in Lucerne -of course there is only 3 Chinese restaurants listed…read morein Yelp in this Swiss city. Place specializes in spicy hot noodle soups. However, it was in the 80s, and I wasn't about to eat soup on a hot day. Our CHF22 chicken dish came with spicy chili chicken, with ear mushrooms and rice. As in most Swiss restaurant, dish comes with rice, but only half a small bowl for the two of us. The chicken was fresh and fell off the bone, using a chopstick in each hand to peel off. Excellent dish, but could use more white rice. Seven steamed shrimp dumplings came with our CHF18 shrimp dumpling dish. Standard presentation in a steamed bamboo pot, with the shrimp tasty and not rubbery. Had to pay CHF4, or $4.28, for two glasses of tap water. Will remember next time to bring my own water to guzzle down prior to stepping into a restaurant in Switzerland. Authentic Chinese food served here. How do I know it's authentic? Any time they serve meat dishes with the bones still in them, in a sauce, it's authentic, as Americans don't want to mess around with bones in sauces. Also, only Chinese eating here.

The dishes were freshly made and great portion. It's fun coz most of their tables are long and there's a chance you're sharing that table with someone else so it's kinda fun meeting people!! Highly recommend this place in Zurich!!

Good Food. Everything was authentic and delicious. Definitely one of the better things I tried…read morewhile visiting Switzerland. Came at opening and glad we did. Within an hour the whole place was full, and rightfully so. The menu is very expansive. Over 100 items. Started off with a bowl of chicken and sweet corn soup. It was delicious. Umami with the contrast of the sweet corn. Would def recc. Dim sum combo platter. Came with a variety of dumplings. It was unfortunately the least favorite item. Could be a different type of region or style of dumplings that I ma not used to, but did not love the taste overall. The wrapper was very thick and flavor was a little bland. Flat Rice noodles: Delicious. Big portion, flavorful, came with lots of protein and veggies. No complaints whatsoever. Forgot the name of it, but the serevr said it was one of the most popular dishes they have. Some sort of beef dish that our server said was North Chinese style. Flavorful, a bit saltier then would like, but not an issue once you pair with rice. Just note that tap water is 2 franks per cup. Overall would definitely come back if I was ever in the area.

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!

Very poor service: old man running the restaurant was highly impatient and wife scammed us on price conversion -- tip: they only accept cash. The value is terrible. The equivalent of 60USD (50CHF) for a grease-soaked plastic container of fried rice (incredibly bland and tasteless) with a count of (5) small strips of chicken and a heart-attack-inducing greasy noodle dish, served with more salt than is in the Atlantic ocean. We tried to be hospitable and nice to the owner, but they responded with indifference, short temper, and annoyance. Insanely rude service, especially from the chef. Yeah, I understand, the prices in Switzerland are crazy expensive, but I wouldn't feed this food to my dog. Not worth $30 a dish. My tip? Don't go. Unless you want to be insulted and go to the least hospitable place in Murren.

We were able to try it and there is limited seating. We were able to sit outside, and the view is amazing. Don't get me wrong, still a pretty cool place. However, the places we have ate it just were top notch. The other reviews are pretty accurate. It tastes authentic, the egg role and egg drop soup is delicious. The service is good, and everything comes out in a timely manner. However, the pad thai lacked some flavor and maybe I should've asked for it to be spicier. We had the fried rice, and again the seasoning lacked on it. I mean it was good, but it didn't taste as fresh as some of the other places we went to. Good not great, and probably the best choice for asian in this small town.
