    We generally eat at some kind of asian restaurant before heading home. This time we went to Cho…read moreLon. It's hard to judge asian restaurants in Europe coming from California where asian food is prevalent and pricing so much cheaper (then again everything seems to be more expensive in Switzerland). Cho Lon was okay but I feel like we've had better for equivalent prices in Geneva. Though service was pretty good. I N T E R I O R Not a super large spot, there's a restroom when you enter which is a little odd, but the interior decor felt like your typical fusion asian place. M E N U There seemed to be a mixture of food types served which made me feel like it wasn't purely Vietnamese. They served some Thai dishes and some dishes which felt Chinese. So I would have to say this place is a mish mash of different asian cuisines. We got the ban cuon which was pretty good. Typical. You get three rolls with a dish of fish sauce. The fish dish we got in a clay pot was pretty good. It was basically catfish with the bones in a sweet sauce. The veggies we also got was okay. Nothing mind blowing. I was able to taste the two pork dishes which were basically strips of pork deep fried in various different sauces. They were crisp which was good. Again pricing was a heart attach considering for the amount you get and the quality it's about 3-4 times the price but...this is typical in Geneva. Just be aware that you just need to get ready to pay around 30-40 CHF. S E R V I C E My boyfriend's family typically comes here so the owners know them well and actually gave them a gift which was really sweet. I'm sure they appreciate their service and frequent coming to their restaurant so I'm glad they appreciate their customers. The service was prompt and good. They're not brash which is typical of folks in the area. O V E R A L L As I mentioned, I've only been to one other asian spot and I feel like it was better than here for the quality and quantity. It does have a good ambiance and there was a nice couple next to us having a date so it's good for that. So if you're needing a change from your day to day french/italian cuisine, this might be a spot to try.

    Have been coming to Boky for many years. But it's recently gone through some major renovations…read moremaking look a bit more nicer, using iPad menus to order, a whole new and much shorter menu, and a new name: Asia Garden. But the food remains good, and always a nice option among the other Chinese restaurants in the area. Also good that they open late, to midnight on most nights.

    My boyfriend and I came to Boky for lunch one day around 3, because we needed something fairly…read morequick and we (or at least I was) were pretty sick of fondue at that point. For the weird time, it was still pretty crowded. Vietnamese spring rolls - tasted like they left it in the fryer for a tad too long Salt and pepper fried squid - the flavor was okay, but it wasn't really that crispy. This had the opposite problem of the spring rolls. Chicken and salted fish fried rice - very little salted fish. In fact, I'm not sure there was even any in there because I didn't really taste the salted fish. It was pretty much just chicken fried rice, which wasn't bad. Beef with vegetables - pretty standard. The portions are small (at least compared to NYC) but with the amount we ordered, it was enough for two people. We had some leftovers. So if you are doing family style and have a large group, you might want to order a bit more. I'm not sure how many other Chinese restaurants are in town but I'm thinking there has to be a better one somewhere. Basic food aside, the atmosphere is kind of shady. Apparently there's a gambling machine in the back by the restroom, with shady dudes hanging around by it and smoking cigarettes. Maybe takeout and bringing it back to the hotel would have been a better option.

    Delicious food, but spotty service / needs help with interior design…read more----- After walking in old town Geneva for the afternoon we decided to check out various restaurants that were open on a Saturday night. Surprisingly, most storefronts seem to be closed, even though it was only 7 o'clock. We debated between this place and the brasserie across the street, and decided to check this place out. I will break this review down into four parts: 1. First impressions: For some reason this restaurant is tucked away on the second floor of the building. The restaurant on the first floor - which was rather lively - was actually another Vietnamese restaurant. You have to walk up a somewhat rickety staircase up to the second floor to get to this restaurant. There is no sign which makes this clear. The decor was somewhat dated. The multicolored table cloths and wall paintings were rather faded. Can't quite put my finger on it, but the atmosphere seemed very subdued and uninviting, literally as if we were interrupting a family dinner / family gathering (in a way, I guess we were) 2. Service: The service was somewhat spotty. For example, I asked the bald Thai gentleman what the difference was between the three soups listed, and his response was "they are different, one has coconut milk." A follow-up question of which soup he recommended was followed by, "depends on what you like." Hmm, You don't say??? 3. Food: Thank goodness the food was actually quite delicious, as the saving grace of our experience here. I got the fish soup which was EXCELLENT. It had solid chunks of fish (a lean type of fish), light cream, and fresh lemongrass. This was extremely savory. She got the shrimp with fresh basil leaves. There were eight shrimp, cleanly butterflied. This was stir fried with a savory mix of zucchini, lemongrass, garlic, bamboo shoots, and of course basil. 42.50 CHF. 4. Recommendation: If you can stomach the "what do you want" kind of service and dated decor, this place may be worth checking out. Skip the water, which is 3 CHF per person (!!)

    Atmosphere: I actually likes the thai decorations. It's interesting that the restaurant is on the…read moresecond floor. Service: we were the only two in the restaurant. The waiter took our order, came back 5 minutes later to ask what we ordered again. Hmmm Food: Spent 80CHF for two on oily food :( (After we left, we noticed there was a pizzeria across the street extremely busy inside and with take out. In retrospect, we should've tried that instead.)
