It was our first night in Zurich and I was craving for Chinese. After reading all the great reviews…read morefrom everyone, we decided to give this restaurant a try. We ordered a fried rice dish and a noodle dish. From the first bite of the fried rice, I could taste how much MSG they put into their cooking. Throughout the rest of the dish, I found two pretty big chunks of unmelted MSG. Food quality was okay, nothing impressive. Maybe is because I am used to the NYC Chinese food quality. The dish portions are small and contain a lot less ingredients from what we usually get back in the States.

Yay for the Yelp Gourmet Runde to get my first taste of Tibetan food! Thanks to Patty G. for the…read morehookup and to Simon R. for organizing. This is a rather small restaurant right off the Talwiesenstrasse tram stop or a short walk from Goldbrunnenplatz and Schmiede Wiedikon. Very cozy and decorated with Tibetan stuff. The entire restaurant was full on Thursday night. We got to try a variety of food, and everything was kind of reminiscent of other familiar dishes, yet different in its own way. I liked how the food wasn't very spicy (I don't like spice) but still had a lot of flavor. And you could increase the heat to your liking with a variety of sauces. Everything had a great mouth feel (i.e. great density and lots of "Q", as we say in Taiwanese). Let's see if I can remember everything I ate. I don't know the names of any of the dishes, so I'll try my best to describe them here. 1. Thick flour crackers. Plain, but I liked them. Great crunch. 2. Clear vegetable soup with 3 kinds of spicy sauces you could add to increase the heat. 3. Thick dumplings--a vegetarian one filled with mashed potato (kind of like a pierogi) and one filled with meat (kind of like Chinese dumplings with the juice inside). 4. Chewy flat bread (kind of like a naan or Chinese bing). 5. A meat pie (kind of like a empanada). 6. A slightly spicy eggplant dish cooked in a thick, dark sauce. 7. Tiny strips of yak meat cooked with veggies. The yak tasted kind of like beef. 8. Glass noodles with black fungus (wood ear). 9. Spicy yogurt sauce. 10. Fried rice with mixed veggies. 11. Cucumber salad. 12. Cooked vegetables. 13. Some kind of salad that was pink (due to roses, I think). It kind of looked like shredded turnip, but I wasn't exactly sure what it was. 14. Barley flour ice cream. Overall, this was a great experience. The food was really heavy and yummy, and I definitely stuffed myself like a pig trying all the different foods.

Since affordable ones are exceedingly rare to come by in Zurich I rejoiced when I heard that the Shanrgila offers them all you can eat for merely 23.- a person! Thus, this review is for the lunch buffet (every Tues, Thurs, Fri) which I've attended half a dozen times in the last 10 months. There is nothing I could complain about: the people are super nice, the food is always amazing and fresh, the restaurant is clean and you always get a good deal with the Momos. Really, what could be wrong when you can treat yourself to all the beef Momos you can eat in all their juicy, savory, beefy goodness, which you eat by hand, btw. Finish your meal with a "Gerstenglacé" - if you can. It's a tiny portion of ice cream made from barley topped with dried Himalayan roots. So yummy and just the right amount after having stuffed yourself with the all-you-can-eat Momo.

4.5 stars - We found…read moreWesley's Kitchen via Pic Chic in Zurich. It's basically a one-stop shop where there are a few restaurants, wineries, and bars to choose from ranging a variety of cuisines. Wesley's Kitchen was Asian, and it stood out to us. We ordered 4 dumplings, an order of spicy noodles, and a a wonton soup. The dumplings were about 13€ and each of the entrees around 25€, pretty standard for Switzerland. The portion sizes were fantastic. The dumplings were huge and my friend got many substantial wontons in her soup. The spicy noodles were actually spicy! I couldn't finish my plate because there were so many noodles. Everything was delicious. Not sure if Wesley's Kitchen is usually backed up, but they took quite a while to bring our food. Also, the nature of Pic Chic allows you to sit anywhere in the establishment so I understand if it was hard for our waitress to find us. Either way, we'd definitely come back!

Service was not overly friendly but efficient. They speak English, German and Vietnamese (maybe more but that's all I heard). We ordered the beef pho and chicken pho, and split the spring rolls which came with four small rolls. The pho was generously sized and I preferred the beef broth over the chicken broth. They automatically give you a small dipping bowl with half Sriracha and half hoisin sauce for your pho meat, which I've never seen before. Toppings (bean sprouts, herbs) came in the bowl instead of on the side as well. Flavor was not exactly what I'm used to in the US but was good enough for what we wanted. Some fish sauce on the table would have been nice, although they did have soy sauce and chili oil. My main issue was the price. 25 francs for a bowl of pho is probably reasonable for Zurich but the most expensive bowl of pho I've ever had. They also charge one franc per cup of tap water which is a bit much in my opinion. Next time I'll just bring my reusable water bottle.

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.
