Finally an authentic Japanese restaurant in Altstetten!…read more This restaurant is recently opened and it seems family run. I had been meaning to give it a try so that I could eventually write a review about it. The restaurant is quite modest and can fit possibly 30 people. I could have made a few shots of the interior if my phone's battery didn't die on me. The family running the restaurant are Japanese and there were some Japanese guests there so for me this is a good sign. They also do takeaway except soups. This time I ordered a takeaway and I quite like their sushi. The price is also fair. I will definitely return!

This is a really neat restaurant, and the food was great! We were able to get seated right away and…read morethe service was nice and friendly. 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 place really blew me away. The tonkotsu ramen had absolutely incredible umami flavor and the…read morechicken karaage was super crisp and flavor. I've heard that this place gets busy, but it was easy to make a reservation online and there were plenty of empty tables when I arrived at 8:30pm Tuesday night for a late dinner. The atmosphere is very intimate and very Japanese. I'm a huge fan of the wood paneling everywhere. 10/10 would visit the next time I'm in Zurich.

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!

I found ramen in Zurich and it is totally deliciousssssssssss!!!!!…read more We were wandering around one day and thought this place looked cool, so we put our names on the waitlist (it was a Saturday and therefore very busy) and walked over to another place for a drink. It's a pretty small restaurant with limited seating, so they make sure to really utilize the tables. The waitress pointed to the table for us and my husband thought she was kidding because there was very little space at the table that already had three guys on it. We got cozy with them, which was fine because actually, it's all about the ramen, ammiright?! First we ordered the vegetarian gyoza to share. They were totally delicious with a nice crispy outside and soft juicy delish inside. Then I had the vegetarian miso and my husband ordered the vegetarian tantanmen. By far the tantanmen was the winner! The broth was absolutely fantastic (and quite spicy) and full of flavor!!! Definitely getting that one next time! The miso was alright, but nothing special. Overall I'd say we were pretty happy with our choice and will definitely come back.

However, the menu is quite limited to sushi related items and very expensive. Except for california roll (16 CHF), most other rolls with more than 2 items (e.g. salmon, cucumber and avocado etc) are around 24-26 CHF for 8 pieces. miso soup is additional 5 CHF. No bento box or noodle soup.. no non-sushi rice bowl (e.g. tonkatzu don or etc.. which could be more filling and cheaper than chirashi or other sushi donburi (rice bowl))... It was very good dinner but 3 rolls, two rice bowls and 1 edamame and 1 veggie small bowl appetizer and 2 beer/1 small sake, these were 200 CHF. Zurich price.. but still seems too much.

We ordered 5 and it was too much for us. We wanted the wagyu but the portion was too large so we did the Omakasa add on. The wagyu with the rice was just OK, it needed salt, but it was a bite so you don't find out until it's too late to ask. Given this, I'm glad we didn't order the large portion of the wagyu. The meatball wagyu from the Omakasa wagyu add on was amazing!! It was probably the best thing we ate! It had a black crust of some kind surrounding the meatball and it came with a tasty cream sauce. The shrimp tempura was tasty but it felt a little over cooked. The Brussels sprouts were amazing, they had a spicy sauce and shaved tuna flakes, and they were my second favorite dish of the night. The sea bass was really good. The salmon sashimi was in large poke type chunks and the sauce was too thick for my liking-it was my least favorite dish. Had the best server, he was really attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. His wine recommendation, the Zinfandel, was great!! Excellent dinner in Zurich!!

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 .

I really don't understand the other reviews for Maki Haus. My friend and I made a reservation for a…read moreSaturday evening at 7 pm and I was really suspicious that it was completely empty when we arrived on a Saturday evening. We ordered the sashimi mix, the hamachi carpaccio with ponzu, some marinated tofu and sake. We were told that they were out of hamachi so we choose the salmon carpaccio instead. The food was simply disappointing: the salmon carpaccio with shichimi sauce was not sliced thin at all. It looked like salmon sashimi with what looked like a bland black bean sauce. The sauce has not at all the spicy shichimi sauce I was expecting. The sashimi mix was even worse, it was simply sad. It consisted out of 6 slices of tuna and salmon sashimi of very low quality. I swear, I've had better sashimi at the supermarket. In addition, the waitress was rude, she was constantly chatting about on her phone in Mandarin and when we asked for a suggestion of another dish she just shrugged. I asked if they had Yakatori but she seemed to have no clue so we decided to go somewhere else to continue eating. Yes, we went to a second restaurant that evening, unfortunately that was after feeling hugely disappointed by Maki Haus and dropping 90 CHF. Not going again.
