We've been to Kai near Schiffbau a few times before and it was always good, if not on the pricier…read moreside ( think CHF250 for two with wine ). One notable aspect is the attentive and friendly service. Unfortunately last night's experience left a bad impression and I'm afraid to say, we do not want to go back. It was Valentine's Day and only a set menu was on offer, for chf 120. The menu clearly listed a set number of morsel pieces for the stated 120 Swiss Francs and that's what they brought us, exactly what was stated on the menu for that price. We were confused, surely if it's 120 per person you would bring us double the amount of pieces stated on the per menu price...? But no, when the bill came they'd charged us CHF 240..! for the food alone. The menu did include Sushi à discretion, but what was on offer on the caterpillar was all same-same, rolls with chopped tartare inside, cheap-looking. The pricing was deliberating misleading and we complained. To their credit, the staff understood and sympathized, and adjusted the bill accordingly. I guess this was a company policy. Very underhanded and shady, my trust in Kai is gone and I advise anyone to avoid them on special days like Valentines, where it's very unclear what the pricing model is. There are other really good Sushi restaurants in town, Kai, and you need to pull your socks up and be on the level if you want to have repeat business. What you did last night suggests you're just out to rip our clientele off, which is very short-sighted.

Having lived in Japan for several years, the menu looked reasonably authentic. The door was invitingly wide open, with the sign clearly indicating "open". Upon entering, a waitress immediately approached and said "hello". We then asked for a table for two. Rudely, she said "we are closed". Hmmmm....then why would you have the door open, with a sign saying "open" with patrons being served? For yucks? We instead sent our business to a great chinese restaurant a few blocks east, Hong Kong restaurant, and were cheerfully served a great meal.

I ordered the tuna tataki and the surf and turf, and everything came out great. They have a small conveyor belt sushi on one end of the restaurant and a teppanyaki table on the other. The setup is really nice - sit at the teppanyaki if there are seats available and watch your food being cooked. The portions are generous. The tuna was seared nicely and the sauce was delicious. The surf and turf came with shrimp which had an amazing butter sauce. And the filet was perfectly cooked to medium raw - so tender. Presentation of the food was also nicely done.

We were lucky to find HATTORI SUSHI AND STEAKHOUSE right next to our hotel(Radisson BLU Hotel). We were greeted by the owner Nick who made us feel very welcome. The decor of the restaurant had an Asian flair and an ambience that was very comfortable. The restaurant had a moving sushi bar with an array of choices and Teppanyaki U shape counter. Hattori opened 5 Months ago. To start we had the Shrimp and Vegetable Tempura and Ahi Tuna Tataki with a Kirin Premium beer. The Tempura was light and crispy with a flavorful dipping sauce. The Tuna Tataki was seared to perfection with the right amount of seasoning and topped with daikon/sauce. The Steak was done medium rare with a variety of sautéed mushrooms including shiitake. It was plated with a nice delicate sauce with cubed gelatin flavored with shiitake mushroom dashi, mirin, shoyu and sake. Chef Alek served us his soft and tasty Homemade bread with a marinated broccoli spread. Executive Chef Alek's creations are so tasty. We ended the dinner with shot of Yamasaki Whiskey which won a world title as best in class and Sweet Umeshu. It was an excellent meal and we felt at home with the friendly staff and owner. We highly recommend Hattori Sushi/Steakhouse and hope you all will check it out. Your taste buds will be treated to an awesome epicurean experience!
