    Ginger beef - this is a half portion
    Jen P.

    Had a light dinner here my first night in Luzern during a recent long weekend. It was recommended by my friend who felt the Asian fusion menu was great quality. Short story: food is OK, service is OK, but menu is limited, and it is VERY expensive. This place is easy to find, on a highly trafficked street, with outdoor seating (and heat lamps) and plenty of indoor seating in both the bar and a couple different dining rooms. We opted to sit inside and were seated at a table for 2 in a dining room. The night we were there (a Sat night) they had a live DJ and the music he played was very appropriate for dining-into-evening bar, though a little on the loud side. We ordered a bottle of wine: they brought out a single glass of wine. They quickly realized their mistake and took it back, then brought a new bottle. I found this weird, especially because they were not packed. For dinner, we ordered the spicy calamari appetizer: they were out of it. Immediately, my friend asked what else they were out of, which you would expect them to tell you first before you ordered, and they said they had everything else. So we went with the green papaya salad with grilled prawns, which we decided to share. They brought out two portions, split from the one salad, and the dish was pretty and tasted delicious. For our main, we again decided to split a dish and went for the ginger beef served with white rice. They again split the dish into two portions, which we both enjoyed. Overall, the food was fine, but nothing special. With such a limited menu, I would have expected the food quality and taste to be a little fresher/higher/more special, and I would also expect them to have everything on the menu. Dinner for two, which included (as a recap), a bottle of wine, one appetizer and one main split between us, was over $200 CHF, which I found exorbitant for what it was.

    My meal at Cha Cha made me sad…read more After spending a whole week in Switzerland, I was craving a good Asian meal. There was no doubt that I was so excited to find out that ChaCha is located right across the street from the Radisson Blu where I've been staying. When I walked into the restaurant, I liked the vibe. Long community tables with bright and modern decor-hip, upscale, but casual. The wait staff was not particularly friendly, but efficient. The menu was pretty comprehensive with typical selections found in a Thai restaurant (comparing to the Thai places in the US). I ordered chicken satay, Tom yum goong, and a bowl of jasmine rice. First the chicken satay arrived- I looked at it and thought 'hmm, interesting looking skewers'. Well, it was interesting because the chicken on the skewer were not grilled, they were breaded and pan deep fried! I would have let it go since who can complain about fried food- however, I couldn't let it go because the chicken was so dry and bland. The dipping sauce tasted like the masala marinate that the chicken should have been marinated in- but it was served in a running gel like sauce for dipping. It wasn't good. Then, the tom yum and jasmine rice were served. The jasmine rice was cooked perfectly. Broken, aromatic, fluffy and good. The Tom yum on the other hand, broke my heart! The soup had no flavor of lemongrass, cilantro, or onion. It was extremely sour and the base was just a diluted tomato broth. It was also very strange that the soup was topped with a bell pepper slaw. The whole bowl tasted like a really sour, bell pepper flavored warm tomato water with a few pieces of mushrooms and chicken. I was starving but I couldn't finish my dinner. Perhaps the flavors were modified based on local preference, since the place seemed popular and busy. But it was definitely not for me. I would also caution those who like the way Thai food is flavored in the US and Asia to not expect the same flavor profile here. So disappointed in this meal. Light at the end of the tunnel was that I returned home just a day after this meal, and I made a straight line to my local hole-in-the wall Thai take out- I needed to mend my broken heart.

    Nice and modern restaurant with good Thai options and vegetarian friendly menu. Will definitely…read morevisit again!
