    Very enjoyable chinese food. Reasonably priced for Zurich. We still spent over 100 dollars for 3. Dim sum and bok choy was very expensive at 19 chf. I liked the shrimp w sweet and spicy sauce. People share tables.

    Giving this five stars because I hAve never had better Chinese food in my life ! We came to Zurich for the night and I was actually on yelp looking for late night places to eat and this particular place had great reviews and was super close to Our hotel. We did show up about 45 minutes before they were closing, but they told us that it's pretty quickly made. My boyfriend and I ordered a spritz to drink. The menu is very VERY large. We went with a few different I items to split. All the food was amazing ! It came out quickly. The crispy duck was SO good. I highly suggest trying that. I haven't eaten Chinese since here because of how great the food was !

    Ok, gotta say, it's reasonably priced for Switzerland and really liked the fried rice, but the other items were just off. The hot pepper chicken had some off putting Thai flavors, but was decent. Small place with long communal tables and service was fine, especially by Swiss standards. Located in a nightclub type area of town. Beware the Thai red curry...super spicy, but lacking texture and flavor.

    A nice and usually crowded place with a rich selection of delicious meals. The meals are freshly prepared, even if you take the menu. There are large tables so if you don't like to sit at the same table as other people, it's probably not suited for you. The personnel is very friendly and serves you quickly. I go there regularly.

    They even have pig knuckle soup! How authentic for Zurich is that?!

    Same as the owners at Ach'i, but with more touches in its decor and also located in the seedy,…read morered-light district area right in front of the Militär-/Langstrasse bus stop, across the street from Gregory's Pub. A perfect stop before Friday night karaoke, one would say? ;-) Fun times ahead! There are lots of similarities in the offering vs Ach'i (to keep this simple pls look at my review for Ach'i), but then I'd say that this menu, unlike Ach'i, sticks to mainly the authentic Chinese food dishes (Northern inspired). Also there are a few dishes that they offer here that I don't see on the Ach'i menu, like the spicy noodle soup with minced beef that was suggested and it turned out to be pretty good. Quite spicy so if you have a sensitive stomach, save it for something else! Also the menu is a bit hard to follow here, haven't really figured out the classification system to efficiently find things (I.e. where's the fried noodles section? Where's the soup noodles section? Where's the stir fry section?). That was a bit annoying vs at Achi I felt I could find things easier. Prob also at Ach'i the menu had photos and this place being more upscale style, doesn't showcase photos of food. The decor here is also a bit more risque than Ach'i. I'd like to say it's more upscale than Ach'i, while a bit meeting borderline kitschy. Last time I was here, they have the best servers from Ach'i now working here, so I guess this is a place they are investing their best resources at.

    The food is quite good here. Surprisingly good, not 100% authentic but close enough. And obviously…read moreyou don't have other choices for Chinese food in this area.

    The dim sum debacle…read more Wife knows what I like, and mentioned a dim sum place when we were walking from the train station dragging our wheeled carry-on to our hotel, half a mile away, in old town Zurich, Switzerland. We walked back, and right across the street from the Bahnhoff was a vendor spot with a sign "Dim Sum". Aluminum roof with three tables and five chairs. We go up to the counter, and immediately get what the previous couple had gotten: an order of pot stickers and dumplings. "Kleine order Grosse?" asks the vendor, a middle aged white dude, with his Chinese wife working in the background on making more potstickers or dumplings. Large order of course, and before I can get my credit card out, one large plate of pot stickers, and another plate of dumplings is served. Not piping hot, only warm, as if the meals were stored in a pizza heating container. "CHF38, bitte" says the vendor. $38 for two dishes from a food truck!? Now, you know why Zurich is the most expensive city in Europe. Credit card will cost a additional swiss franc. I'm absolutely famished, after last eating at 6am, with it now 130pm, after a 9,000 mile trip from San Jose, via Atlanta to Zurich earlier that morning. I'm eating like it's my last meal, devouring everything in front of me. Wife doesn't like the dumplings, saying it's too salty. So I finish up the dumplings, and she the pot stickers. As we finish up, the vendor asks us to pass the soy sauce to the next customer, as if the items were not salty enough! Seems that the food served here does taste familiar to me. My ex was infamous for discretely bagging pot stickers and dumplings from Chinese buffets. Those leftover reheated food buffet items! Three stars because service was so outstanding, and the vendor was considerate and kind. And we did finish our plates.

    Do not go here unless you want shouted at and possibly attacked! I didn't go here for the food and…read moreI'm glad I didn't with the staff/owners of the establishment. Last day of a 4 week trip around Europe and I have never been spoken to the way I did here. I spotted a shaded part of ground to quickly spray some sun cream before continuing my walk. I spray on my cream and am about to go on my way when I remember I better put my factor 50 on my legs. I have my bag on the bench outside this place that has no sign on it to say it belongs to the fast food kiosk. So I put my foot on the bench and quickly spray my legs with cream. BIG MISTAKE! Over comes an angry looking German man with a moustache and sprays my leg with the detergent. I think he's joking because I don't hear him as I have my headphones in. I laugh and remove my headphones. He then shouts saying I'm silly doing this here as people sit here. I look confused and say pardon? He says 'go over there, people sit here!' He then pushes me out of the way with his shoulder. At this point I have removed my sunglasses and headphones and I'm shocked at what's happening. I say 'oh I'm sorry but I came here because it was in the shade and all you had to do was ask me nicely not spray me with detergent and push me, that was very rude!' (It gets worse) Now out comes an Asian woman shouting at me in German, right in my face about which I assume is that people basically sit there and I shouldn't have my feet there. Which I totally understand but just tell people this in a nice way. I say there's no need to shout and you couldn't just politely asked me to move and I would've. She then screams something, gets in my face and actually kicks the bench with her feet. I mean what on Earth is going on!!! I say to her I don't know why she's shouting and she's only making herself angry. I'm sorry but this is a ridiculous way to treat someone. What an aggressive couple to own a food kiosk in the public industry. I would avoid this place at all costs as you may be shouted at and beaten if, god forbid, you have a genuine complaint about the dimsum. I say visit here at your own risk. If there were no stars I would give it such. Horrible people.

    Dim Sum - My uber drove by this place on the way to hotel and there was a line so I made a point to go Sunday, it was certain not open at 4p.

    Dim Sum - That's what I usually order. The Dim Sum special. Pity they don't offer any sriracha sauce, but they have sambal oelek instead.
