The best sushi in Zurich so far! Delicious, fresh fish and very friendly service. If you're pressed for time though, you might not find the experience as enjoyable as they take their time to prepare and serve the food. read more

You know why this place is good? Because they have the fake Japanese food in the window display…read more ^.^ Actually, the food did taste pretty authentic. 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. Once again, good food, but at Zürich prices.

We started with some wine drinks, which were ok but really nothing amazing. The ramen was really tasty, but didn't stand out as one of the best for me. I got the spicy one and it was nowhere close to spicy. The miso ramen had great flavor, but again wasn't anything special. Definitely a solid ramen spot, but I think the food and drinks could use a little something to add to the pizzazz.
This was my first Swiss Ramen stop out of the 3 places I've had bookmarked for their ramen. So I…read morewas quite excited to give it a try. 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.
This is a cute little sushi deli right by the train station. The inside was bright and airy, and…read morethey also have a rather large patio area outside. They have pre-made selections of bowls and sushi, or you can custom order on their kiosk for dining in or takeaway. We decided to dine in (prices are the same here whether you dine in or takeaway, which is nice). After placing our order on the kiosk, a ticket is printed out for you which you then take to the counter to pay. They give you a buzzer but the sweet gal actually brought our order to the counter table we picked out in the front corner, which was a great spot for people watching. My son and I both selected a make-your-own bowl and got salmon bowls customized with the toppings and sauce we liked (€18ish). They have a selection of wines and beers in the fridge too and I enjoyed a can of chilled Italian red wine (€9). Both of us liked our meals and were too full to get dessert... they have a matcha soft serve with Kit Kat topping that looked really good (€6).

I wanted to order the chicken Katsu bento to go thinking it will be made fresh to order but they just told me to pick up something that's already been pre-made. I didn't want to do it coz I wanted At least something freshly made. So the lady suggested chicken ramen. So I ordered it and 2 bottled water it ended up to 21 CHF ($26) . I said to myself, this better be the best bowl of ramen I've ever had in my life. My order literally came out within 5 mins so I went straight back to my hotel room excited to have some ramen. When I opened it, just by look of it, it didn't look like ramen. I took a sip and it was more like soba soup with ramen noodles. So so disappointed!!! And to pay that much it was nothing special. Most expensive bowl of ramen I've tasted and I think top ramen was way better!!

Ideal for a relaxed lunch or dinner, though best with a reservation due to its size. Pros: * Fresh, generously portioned sushi -- reviewers rave about "huge fish portions" and delicious, high-quality taste . * Top-notch ramen-- Tonkotsu and Tantanmen are consistently praised, with one reviewer noting the "delicious Tonkotsu & Tantamen Ramen, authentic flavors, carefully prepared fish, and friendly staff" . * Homemade gyoza and sauces--a highlight for many, "Hand made Gyoza. Even the sauce they serve is hand made" . * Warm, attentive service in a small, inviting space . * Great value for the quality, mid-range pricing around CHF30-40 per person . Cons: * Limited seating, as it's a cozy, compact restaurant--better reserve ahead. * Slightly on the pricier side for ramen or gyoza (~CHF10 for 4 pieces), though fans say it's worth it .

We ordered 5 and it was too much for us. We wanted the wagyu but the portion was too large so we did the Omakasa add on. The wagyu with the rice was just OK, it needed salt, but it was a bite so you don't find out until it's too late to ask. Given this, I'm glad we didn't order the large portion of the wagyu. The meatball wagyu from the Omakasa wagyu add on was amazing!! It was probably the best thing we ate! It had a black crust of some kind surrounding the meatball and it came with a tasty cream sauce. The shrimp tempura was tasty but it felt a little over cooked. The Brussels sprouts were amazing, they had a spicy sauce and shaved tuna flakes, and they were my second favorite dish of the night. The sea bass was really good. The salmon sashimi was in large poke type chunks and the sauce was too thick for my liking-it was my least favorite dish. Had the best server, he was really attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. His wine recommendation, the Zinfandel, was great!! Excellent dinner in Zurich!!

Me and my friends were lucky enough to just wait 30 minutes to get a table for 4. I ordered their Tonkatsu Ramen. It had a nice solid brothe to it, just missing a slight kick that a tonkatsu ramen generally has but still hella good! The noodles were slightly firm and it accompanied the brothe well. I had a WHOLE egg to myself and it was slightly runny which you know a damn fact makes a ramen more wholesome! The other bits of toppings were good as well. My friend order their Miso ramen which I gave a try and I'll say fora fact that it was lacking a bit in what a Miso ramen stands for. They were TOO generous with the bean sprouts which ruined the whole ramen experience for my friend All in all, I had a solid experience here but can't say the same for my buddy. Definitely them a try!

Lol Their bento boxes are not overrated - they just really are that good. To be honest, i've never eaten anything else than their bento boxes... If something is good, you stick to it, right? You can do take away with them as far as i know. They prepare the food by not overdoing it, which i love. As a half japanese i appreciate that very much. Its hard to find japanese food that doesnt taste boring or overwhelmingly aromatic. Their interior is nice and comfortable, maybe a little cramped but they make it work. It won't bother you. Their staff is very polite and wants to help you and make your visit personal. I highly recommend bimi. I think they are doing it all super good, from food to services to ambiente. The price might be a little downside but its worth it.

Service was friendly without being overbearing, and they handled dietary requests with care and respect. It's clear they take pride in what they serve and how they serve it. Not cheap, but worth every franc. Perfect for a date night, a quiet solo indulgence, or just treating yourself to something extraordinary.

However, it stands to lose it's 4 star rating to 3 stars due to lack of customer ambiance, as I hope this is one-off. Envisioning a Memoirs of a Geisha or Kill Bill effect of going into this restaurant on a Saturday night, but instead landed with the boring parts of Lost in Translation. No court jesters in sight. Just streams of hesitant couples staring at the menu outside whilst walking by, staring at the emptiness of the customer base, looking at me, and walking away. It didn't help that this restaurant is located right across from cablecom and the 'back' part of the main train station, so a bit quiet and kinda spotty feeling at night. However, the restaurant did manage to draw two couples in, probably thanks to me as a token Asian-looking person sitting by the window, advertising the suspicion that perhaps this is an authentically tasty place. However, the food and wonderful service managed to keep me awake and excited for a bit. Since I was torn over choosing the chiriashi, the bento box and sushi, I gave the friendly waitress an interrogation of questions that would make anyone feel exploited. She answered them with great care and detail and gave me very good answers. I ended up with a sushi regular for CHF 30-35 and it was very fresh. If you also want sashimi, I'd recommend to pay 10 francs more and get the Yoshino special. It's probably even shareable between two girls with small appetites (certainly not me)! The menu boasts of an array of cooked/raw Japanese foods, and a vast selection of alcohol and non-alcoholic beverages. I'd recommend this restaurant for those who squirm at the thought of raw fish, as the cooked foods here looks/smells promising. The couple next to me ordered (1) bento box with chicken, which also came with salad and three pieces of sushi rolls (2) chicken teriyaki, which both looked and smelled superb. The smell was so enticing that I was drooling even though I was full with sushi, a strange feeling to combat. I will have to come back and try out the cooked portion of the menu, and hoping for better customer ambiance next time!

So, I booked a table at Yooji's but I ended up getting a spot in front of the conveyor belt. There's a Yooji's close to the hotel I was staying at but for some reason this particular location was highly recommended. Service was great. I grabbed plates and plates of sushi from the conveyor belt. Different pricing depending on the plate color. Each plate has a few pieces of sushi (2-4). The table in front of you will tell you the pricing as well as description of each plate when you place the plate on the circle on your right. The quality of fish was alright. Conveyor belt sushi is not meant to be top-quality sushi. I didn't like 2 things I tried: chicken teriyaki nigiri (chicken was dry and the texture was weird), and salmon sushi wrapped in rice paper with cilantro (it was like a Vietnamese sushi. Do you want pho sushi? I didn't finish it). The current conversion rate is 1USD = 1CHF. So with my 6.5 plates of food and a jasmine tea, it was 85+ CHF for 1 person. That's like the price of an omakase tasting menu but it's conveyor belt sushi! It's not a bad place, it's just not worth it. Skip!
