This place positively surprised me because the prices were great, and the portions were equally…read moregreat.
I made a reservation because apparently this place can get super packed (which it did) but they seemed to get a bit confused. They managed to seat us without a problem though. I hate it when I feel rushed, but I kind of did, just because people were waiting and wanted to sit, and we were still talking/ finishing our drinks. BUT to be fair, they said the reservation was good till 8:30, so it's ok that we had to leave.
Anyway, on to the food.
I ordered the glass noodles with brown soy sauce and shrimp. The portion was big, the shrimp were huge, plentiful, and delicious, and the noodles were fine but the sauce was a little lacking.
My friends Red Curry chicken was out of this world. SHOOT! It was good. It was creamy and had a really big red curry taste without it being too spicy.
My boyfriends cashews with chicken in a tangy sauce was pretty good! It had a nice flavor.
The first go was a little rough. I was too scared to order anything that was even remotely spicy because of previous reviews (thanks Jamie!), and it's good that I played it safe the first time. The poor couple next to us was dying with their green curry. It was actually a little entertaining watching them try to choke it down. They would take a deep breath before each bite, and then sweat, drink a bunch of water, and move on to the next one. I probably watched them for way too long...but really, they couldn't handle it.
I think it's just a matter of learning what you like here, but it takes a go or two. Sadly, I didn't get a chance to come back, but I wanted to. The prices were really great and the food came out quickly. For me, it's kind of rare to find such a good restaurant with so many options (and pictures), all for such a good price in Zurich. Their seafood dishes were even pretty low. Almost all of the dishes were between 18-20CHF.
