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).

First day in Zurich and it happened to be a holiday here so most shops are closed but some restos…read moreare open. I wasn't in the mood going far from the hotel and this was just a 2 minute walk. 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!!

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!

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.

I mainly have experience with their delivery food as we are in the middle of the COVID19 pandemic and all dine-in options have been closed for quite a while. Their sashimi platter is great, it contains more than your regular salmon and tuna slices: it has a good variation and foremost it is fresh. This might be a small detail, but they use real shiso leaves, not the plastic thingies that you get at other places. This is my go to place for good quality Japanese style sushi and sashimi.

If you're looking for a phenomenal Sushi/dining experience, look no further. From the atmosphere,…read morethe decor, the staff (and by extension the service), to most importantly the food, everything here is top quality. Traditionally, people tend to stick to what they know when it comes to Japanese cuisine/Sushi restaurant. It took us a long time to choose what to have because there's so many fantastic things on the menu, but our waiter, Equiel, helped us tremendously. Equiel was exceptionally knowledgeable of the menu, had a great personality, and was wonderful in his attention to us. Thank you Equiel! Ultimately we had what amounted to between a quarter to half of the menu and shared between us as a group, and this really gave us the opportunity to try out everything. Make no mistake, everything is fantastic here. You can't go wrong with anything. One piece of advice, stay away from the soy sauce at first. Not because it's bad, but because you simply don't need it. The food here is made in an incredibly flavorful manner where nothing more needs to be added to it. Truly not something you see very often in Sushi restaurants. One primary reason for this, is because most pieces come with Soy Sauce Pearls on them, delivering a perfect balance. At the end of the day this place is not cheap, but in the context of Zurich, it's not crazy expensive either, and far more importantly, it's well worth it, and I'd be happy to come here and the other locations of Kai Sushi many times more in the future. Thank you Kai sushi for a wonderful dinner and I hope to visit again soon! Things to try: Kingfish Ceviche, Hot Cheese Roll, Pulled Salmon Salad, Gyuniku Gyoza, Spider Roll, and naturally, sashimi to your hearts content.

I had the most amazing duck salad I've ever had in my life, with a lemon lime vinaigrette fresh finish, a beautifully prepared perfectly cooked sea bass, accompanied with the perfect sides. 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. Greatness all around...5 stars!!

My friend and I were celebrating her birthday so I was looking for something special. 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.

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!
