    Some appetizers

    Ooki has a few negatives so let me get this out of the way first: - In the weekend you need a reservation (and days in advance! I tried making an online reservation on Thursday for the weekend and they were completely booked). - They do not open for lunch in weekends. - I wish they served Oden Despite this I absolutely want to give this Izakaya a five star review. They absolutely get the atmosphere of a Japanese Izakaya which is super hard to find in Europe. All the Japanese staff is super accommodating and friendly plus they are super prompt despite the fact that the place is always filled to the brim. Obviously, since it is an Izakaya, they quite a bit of drink options but they have even more options on their food menu. True to Japanese style their food is simple but oh so good! Their gyoza are superb, not at all comparable to the frozen jobbies you typically get in your average Asian joint. The Tempura is light and fluffy and their Tantanmen are super addicting. First time I took the medium spicy version thinking that it would probably not be very spicy as Swiss spice is typically lame but I was on fire! This is a must have dish. Everytime I go I over-order and over-eat but all their dishes are just amazing so this is a true treat if you love Japanese food. Highly tecommended!!

    Best seasoned dishes in this Japanese restaurant im town! and real fluffy, light tempura!

    1. Make a reservation for this place. Their. online system is quite easy to use or just gove them a call. This place has the best seasoning in my opinion. I find many Japanese spots in Zurich quite bland but that might just be my personal preference. I like my dishes well tasted and seasoned. The food is just amazing and I absolutely adore the interior. Its gives off a very nice vibe.

    In one word: Awesome! Looking for authentic Japanese ramen? This is the place. Ooki San is the ramen master and his tantanmen is incredible and addictive. Ino is the restaurant manager who recommends eating early (tables are scarce around 20:00) Gavin suggested tantanmen and, if you like spicy ramen - this is your dish. I'll expand on the review as I experience additional dishes.

    Random eggplant which could be better described by appalling rather than appealing.

    Food was kind of good despite the price BUT the staff is just atrociously horrible. The waitress was beyond unfriendly and low-key insulted us due to us not terminating our meal. She picked at our food and made inappropriate comments as well as ignoring our risen hands multiple times, obviously brushing us aside while not even being busy doing anything else. Incredibly long waiting times. A perfect example for a lazy work-attitude. While I did like the food, such actions are simply egregious and by the way, ordering a vegan meal costs 1 CHF EXTRA for no apparent reason. She even made mistakes like putting twice the amount of items onto the bill, in an attempt to steal our hard-earned money. Items on the menu are set to a lower cost than their actual price. If you are looking for a good Japanese restaurant in Zürich, Yu-an is by far the better choice. By the way, she even went as far as telling us that chicken gyoza tastes like vegetable gyoza, ridiculous. These and many more were the reasons for us not even enjoying a dessert in the end.

    I found ramen in Zurich and it is totally deliciousssssssssss!!!!!…read more We were wandering around one day and thought this place looked cool, so we put our names on the waitlist (it was a Saturday and therefore very busy) and walked over to another place for a drink. It's a pretty small restaurant with limited seating, so they make sure to really utilize the tables. The waitress pointed to the table for us and my husband thought she was kidding because there was very little space at the table that already had three guys on it. We got cozy with them, which was fine because actually, it's all about the ramen, ammiright?! First we ordered the vegetarian gyoza to share. They were totally delicious with a nice crispy outside and soft juicy delish inside. Then I had the vegetarian miso and my husband ordered the vegetarian tantanmen. By far the tantanmen was the winner! The broth was absolutely fantastic (and quite spicy) and full of flavor!!! Definitely getting that one next time! The miso was alright, but nothing special. Overall I'd say we were pretty happy with our choice and will definitely come back.

    Fantastic. Commenting on the food and atmosphere, they are both exceptional. The freshness and…read moreflavors come together perfectly. Very tasty with a large portions. The atmosphere is exactly what you expect. Mostly outside seating, which I love. Yes there is a sticker shock.

    Woo-hoo, I found a zongzi at Lian Hua today!! :D Never mind that it cost CHF 3.95 and was made in…read moreThailand. I unwrapped the fragrant bamboo leaves and devoured the sweet, savory, and slightly spicy goodness of glutinous rice stuffed with shitake, mini dried shrimp, pork, cooked peanuts, and salted duck egg as soon as I got home. This item didn't qualify for the 15% discount, but it was totally worth it to find one of my favorite foods in Zürich. Totally yummy, but knocking one star off for price. Too bad the Dragon Boat Festival only comes once a year...

    Pretty sizeable market but some prices are good, some prices are still Zurich/Swiss (aka…read moreoutrageous). Chinese vegetables like Choy Sam which you'll get for about $1 a bunch in Chinatown in NYC is almost CHF 5! Kimchi is out of the question--I only saw about 4 brands, in small glass jars of in plastic bags (very strange) and they were 8.95 for the largest jar which I could prob eat in one sitting easily. There are LOTS of sauces like hoisin, black bean, Szechuan, various hot sauces, soy sauces, fish sauces, etc. I saw curry pastes in more varieties and sizes than at Chiang Mai, but the prices were comparable. The best thing about this place is the ramen selection because they have an entire row dedicated to Korean brands and Shin ramen is CHF 1.45 a packet, no discount for buying in bulk or in the 5-pack (so unfair!) which is the same as an overpriced corner market in central Manhattan. So although it is hard on the wallet, what is a Korean girl to do? You need your ramen once in a while. There is a sizeable dumpling and various dim sum selection section and seafood including calamari, shrimp, squid, scallops, etc but I'm still not used to buying seafood in frozen form instead of fresh like you see at any Whole Foods or in a Chinatown. I'll have to update my review after I actually try the pork frozen dumplings I got such were CHF 20 for a bag (JEEEEEEEEzus) which again, in NYC Chinatown would be about $5. I was disappointed by the produce section because in Korean markets in the U.S., that is the best part with tons of selection and unbeatable prices. Unfortunately the produce they had was scarce and incredibly overpriced. I might as well go to Coop in Sihlcity for more variety. I did notice that what they had seemed fresher than Barkat but I may have visited in the earlier part of their delivery schedule. I've posted lots of pictures of the variety of products they have but as someone who doesn't cook Asian food often, it was hard to tell what most of the stuff was. I did find packets of ja-choy (the "Chinese kimchi") though so will have to try it. Also although they had credit card machines, they demanded cash. Not cool when you're spending CHF 50!
