A strong Mai Tai served in this great looking cup , standing in front of a scary totem! While sipping the quaffable drink I engaged in conversation with the other guests, talking about past and future vacations - there's nothing that would fit the restaurants theme more, wouldn't you agree? I also met the owner of the Maori Stephan Bernet and had a quick chat with him. A great host, very welcoming and young at heart . Later more, as he was presenting and elaborating the food and accompanying wine - so stay tuned It was the first time I was in the restaurant Maori and I really enjoyed the bar area, a great start to into a promising food journey - Aloha! 1st course the first course of the surprise menu was a dish from new zealand: roasted sweet potato soup with onion, maple syrup and oregano. wow what a great start! I loved this one and usually am not big on soups , it was thick and creamy and the maple syrup added a little sweetness. I asked one of the guest and he confirmed it is authentic. 2nd course sushi combo - two of each flambéed salmon and tuna sushi - usually not a big fan of sushi which is heated / seared and so forth (except eel)- but this was nice for a change and it felt fresh. The presenation was also great! 3rd course beef and reef - this gotta be the coolest name for a dish I've had so far. so simple, just switch out one character, yet so mysterious. What's the reef all about? First of all you have the tender, medium cooked slices of beef paired with the best prawns there are, black Tiger! A match made in heaven! then to add an exotic hint an Asian pepper sauce was chosen to top off the food There's also something for architecture buffs: a jasmine rice pyramid with a pretty flower on top dessert hula pie - this was the highlight of the menu! The classic pie from the Duke's Waikiki. A dream come true : macadamia ice cream with hot chocolate sauce, crushed macadamia nuts and whipped cream! Kona beer tasting: kona beer tasting - after the dessert we went back to the bar where Stephan Bernet introduced us to Kona beer - It's being brewed in Kailua-Kona since 1994, which is located on the big island of Hawaii I chose the Fire Rock Pale Ale - kinda fits the background. Enjoying a piece of Hawaii thousands of miles away! I want to thank Stephan Bernet and his team for this memorable dinner course and evening!

It is the first time I leave a restaurant because of the service…read more The table we were seated was wobbly in the middle of the way, under a tent with another large group which was shouting. I could not hear my wife speaking and I was uncomfortable, so I asked one of the waiter passing by if we could sit somewhere else. He looked around and said no. My wife asked then if we could sit inside. He told us we could sit inside, but the service would be slower. We said it is fine, we are on a date and have plenty of time. We went inside and ask to the same waiter where we could sit. He told us we could sit anywhere we wanted. We sat and a few minutes later another waiter, which was the one who took our order came and started aggressing us. Stating we cannot move without saying anything. We apologised and explained that we ask the other waiter and told us it was fine. He kept coming back shouting at us. We tried to explain and did not really understand why he was so upset. If we were not allowed to stay inside, we would not mind going back to our seat. But, we actually did not have an opportunity to speak. Finally, since the night was gone for us. I asked him if we could cancel the meal. I would pay for our drinks which were already made and we would leave. He snobbed us and left. So I left the money with the drinks untouched on the table. We went to another restaurant and had a lovely evening, but we still wondered what happened there. If he had previously a bad time and was already upset. I am sorry for him. Not an excuse to insult your customers though. Btw, we spoke German with him the whole time. My wife's mother tongue is Swiss German, she was raised here, but she is black. I speak Hoch Deutsch fluently. He spoke broken English to my wife.. which I find racist.

Definitely a solid ramen spot, but I think the food and drinks could use a little something to add to the pizzazz.

I ordered their Shoyu Ramen, originally I wanted to try their tonkatsu ramen but they unfortunately sold out for the day, mind you...I came in 50 minutes before they closed . The brothe was delicious and hearty but it lacked the dense weight a Shoyu ramen should normally have. The chasu was interesting since it's not your traditional Japanese pork but of swiss origin; wasn't bad, just wished it had some more flavor to it. The noodles were any typical ramen noodles you can get a basic ramen shop, I wish they served it in some firm wheat ramen noodles Overall, it was a decent experience. If I'm ever around the area again, I plan to try their tonkatsu ramen as that was my original goal.

Tantanmen had sesame oil flavors and the shoyu broth was very light but a bit bland for me so I added the extra sauces they had on the table. The noodles are made fresh in restaurant and they have a clear glass so you can see it being made if you're lucky. It was pretty cool watching one of the workers make it. The noodles definitely tasted great and was authentic. This ramen place is a bit on the pricier side and my friend said the prices were noticable raised but she loves this place so much, it didn't bother her. There are public bathrooms downstairs that they keep taken care of. As soon as you sit, they have clear separating glasses between tables which feels very sanitary, I love it. The ramen served is very aesthetic. I love the way they write their slogan on the nori. My favorite part is that they give you a bib to wear which was easy to put on. Both my friend and I definitely needed it because we both had soup spills on our bibs haha service was nice and they have wifi as well. This place seems to get packed very easily!

My buddy and I had the donburi meals, complete with a side of tempura and miso soup. The only caveat to a similar meal back home is that I paired it with a glass of prosecco, but my dining partner did go the traditional route with hot green tea. The restaurant was pretty quiet to the point where I felt I had to whisper when talking, but it could have been because we were early to dinner and the place wasn't filled with customers yet.

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.

I see many of the reviews have negative things to say about the owner. She was there and chatted…read morewith us throughout our entire meal. I can see how some people would find her to be defensive with regard to her food. I think she is very passionate about her product, and that may come off the wrong way. She is definitely verbose, which can be a bit overwhelming, but her heart is in the right place, and she truly cares about her business. Let me tell me you about the what she did for us. My wife wrote her an email at about 10 am asking if there was any availability for lunch that same day. She responded immediately and allowed us to book the omakase. We were unaware of this, but it's actually a holiday in Zurich and the town is quite desolate. We showed up and were the only people booked for lunch. Mind you, this is a Michelin star restaurant (deservedly so), so they weren't anticipating any walk-in diners. She opened the restaurant to us, and she and her chef personally waited on us for a 2 hour omakase meal as the only guests. Most owners would not have responded and stayed closed for lunch. She took the route of being a good proprietor and gave us one of the best meals I can recall. The first dish was a corn tofu in a wasabi broth. It's the best thing I have eaten in my 10 days in Switzerland. It was followed with a delicious fresh oyster in ponzu, and then a tartare of bluefin tuna. Exceptional in quality of the ingredients and technique on every dish. The sushi courses featured a creamy miso soup, more blue fin, mushrooms, and kingfish. The kingfish was my favorite, but every one was a delight. The squid tempura with shiso was perfect, served with green tea salt on the side. I could have eaten that alone and been happy. Fatty tuna and wagyu finished out the savory dishes, with a black sesame ice cream and fresh strawberries. There were no missteps on this menu. While I have certainly had everything on that menu in one form or another, none had ever been prepared with that level of skill and quality of product. I have eaten in several Michelin starred restaurants this week, including a 2 star in Geneva. This restaurant is far superior to all of those, easily the best food I have had in Switzerland, and probably the best sushi in Europe. The owner seems to play down the interior of the restaurant as not being worthy of a Michelin star. I disagree. It's sleek, elegant, and serene. Based on the reviews, you might not like the owner, I do, but either way the product that is being put out is second to none. I cannot recommend this restaurant more.

In Switzerland, it's especially popular with lunch time shoppers, but I love it for the pleasant ambience, friendly staff and deliciously varied menu all of which are best experienced in evening. Sushi and Switzerland aren't normally two things that go hand in hand. For starters, the sea is a long way away. On top of that, prices of imported food are kept high to encourage eating local goods. With that context, and the 15 or so Japanese restaurants I've eaten at in Zurich - Sushi Shop is absolutely fantastic. My partner and I will be eating here for weeks yet.
