I've been to this place twice. Supposedly it's a gourmet sushi factory that supplies to the trendy…read moreGinger restaurant on Seefeld. However, the sushi failed to impress me. It's was ok, but nothing to rave about. I've been to Ginger once before, too, but I don't know if the sushi there lived up to the hype, either. Perhaps I was expecting too much. Or I was having indigestion from freaking out at the high (but typical) Zürich prices. Anyway, the highlight of my meal was trying something new called Daifuku--which turned out to be a mislabeled Sakuramochi. It was cute and pink and covered with a leaf of sakura (cherry blossom). And yummy, too! :)

An off-the-beaten track sushi place which produces wholesale sushi must be good right?…read more The premise of Shinsen sounded good but the food offering sadly felt flat. I came here on a Saturday evening after 8 pm, it is just a few streets away from Sihlcity but it is in a residential area where you typically wouldn't go so I wasn't too surprised that they only had three other tables since it was already on the later side. After a quick glance on the relatively long menu, I went for the Yamakake, the salmon sashimi and a Sapporo beer. The Yamakake was listed under the warm dishes and described as a rice bowl with raw tuna cubes and a poached egg. I am not sure why it was listed as a warm dish because all elements were icy cold. Now I obviously understand that the raw tuna is cold but the rice and egg were fridge temperature. This dish would have been so much better if the rice and egg would have been at least luke warm. The salmon sashimi was also a bit of a miss. The salmon tasted fresh and of decent quality but the slices were about 1/3 inch thick. Yup the slices were too thick for my taste. Overall, I would say that both dishes disappointed, they were not disgusting but overall missed the mark. The price was ok for sushi in Zurich but I can find much better alternatives here at this price level. The service was quick and correct but nothing too special either so I won't be returning to Shinshen soon.

Pricey for what they serve. Bar seating has the conveyor belt…read more Service is attentive.Food is ok, can be salty the udon. Nice dark interiors.

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.
