The unagi was quite respectable, with very fresh rice, plenty of sweet sauce, and well-barbequeed…read moreeel. The lunch special (bowl of miso, 3 nigiri, some futomaki, and some simple roll slices) was less impressive --- clearly the tail end of the day's prepped rolls, with the rice a little soft for my taste. The fish on the nigiri was still great, and the futomaki were fun (sprouts?), but the plain maki were pretty plain, and the white miso was more crunchy (onion perhaps?) and less flavorful than most of the versions I've tried. Barfüsser claims to be one of the oldest gay-friendly bars in the world ("oldest continually operated", perhaps?). I stopped by during the after-lunch lull for a little sushi --- fine time to try the fish, but it was fairly quiet and didn't get much of a feel for the denizens.

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.

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!!

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.

Uh-oh, I hate to do this, but I have to update my review and drop it down to 3 stars after visiting…read moreagain last Saturday. My first visit to this place was quite pleasant, and after telling an American friend about it, he was all excited to try this restaurant. Unfortunately, my experience the second time paled in comparison to the first. We came late last Saturday (around 8:30 pm), and the restaurant was about half empty. That was nice, so it wasn't overcrowded. However, the food didn't seem to turn over quite as much, so the buffet items were not as fresh and tasty. Some of the fried stuff were hard and definitely looked like they had been sitting in the warming trays for a while. The selection was quite sparse, and the sushi options were almost nil. I felt kind of bad for my friend, but I did warn him in advance not to get overly excited. I would say the food was okay, but not spectacular. And they raised the prices on the weekend special. It's now offered on both Saturday and Sunday at CHF 23.90 per person.

So we sat down in a table of four next to the conveyor belt where the food strolls in and you can take what you want. They don't have tables for two people, so we shared the table with two other girls, which was ok for us, but might be a bit weird for some people. The Sushi came rolling in, but we did have to wait for more to come. They did have other warm Chinese dishes, but we really wanted sushi or California rolls. The staff is still in training, but they really are trying their best and the manager is also very attentive and was very helpful when we asked her to send out more sushi or something sweet. I would recommend to sit in the first two tables next to the food belt. That way you get it faster from the kitchen. The food was really good. Of course the dishes are all westernised I think and I also think they wrote wrong the name of Amaki and Marki...think correct should be Temaki and Maki, but since I'm not japanese I didn't want to tell them about it...who knows maybe in china they say it like this... The only thing I thought was a bit funny, was that the girls next to us asked for some cold tea (or maybe something else), but got it warm instead. They told the waiter to change it, but he really insisted they tried it first, saying it was better hot. In the end they did, but I think he just wanted them to see what was on the bottom of the special little cups he brought...once you put the warm liquid in them, an image of a naked guy appeared at the bottom ;P funny yes, but a bit out of place for me...although the guys in the picture did look hot!

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.
