    The famous specialty duck
    Risa S.

    The most delicious Chinese food I've ever had! Everything we tried was delicious. I was told that their specialty was the duck and it did not disappoint! The roast duck was just crispy and moist enough and not too oily either. The curry was delicious as well, a bit spicy but not overwhelmingly so. The fish was also splendid! I'd recommend this place to anyone who is looking for some delicious Chinese food in the city!!! Additionally the setting was gorgeous! The entire theme felt very luxurious and rich, and the staff was very attentive and friendly. The aquarium tanks were mesmerizing with so many tropical fishes! The location was perfect as it was just one street off the lake so we were able to enjoy strolling by the parks afterwards!

    So as the previous reviewers have noted, the interior of this place is pretty fancy. Definitely comparable to fancy Chinese restaurants back in Asia, though nothing like what I've seen in the States. There's a freaking aquarium in the place, though no, that's not where you get your seafood from. (I've been at places where we're allowed to pick the fish we want for dinner, so this isn't me making some offhand remark.) I would say the food here is hit or miss - and I don't mean the quality varies, but rather that what you pick matters. To get the "authentic" experience, you need to order what Chinese people would actually order, otherwise you're stuck with the Swiss-ified Chinese food (I ended up with that the first time I went to this place, though I don't remember what it was that I ordered anymore). The bee hoon (I believe it's called the Chinese noodles on the menu - in German, "Chinesische-Nudeln gebraten") - pretty much the only thing my mom will order here - is pretty good, though extremely oily - maybe that's what makes it taste so good. The veggies are crunchy and delicious and gives the impression of the dish being healthier than it is, but let's not talk about wishful thinking for now. What I have to rave about, however, is the sweet and sour pork. I cannot tell you how many times in the States and in Europe I've seen people order something sweet and sour, but the meat is NEVER cooked right. Proper sweet and sour pork is crunchy - you do not throw un-battered slices of pork into sweet and sour sauce and call it "sweet and sour pork" - this is the wrong way to do it, and also, it's horrible. This place does it right, because the pork is fried with a crispy batter, and then doused with sweet and sour sauce. The addition of bell peppers to the sauce is still very American/European, but that's not a big deal. The couple of times I've been here, I've found the service to be quite friendly. Your meal is kept warm by plate warmers. It's a nice touch, really.

    Prik Thai - Pad Thai

    Prik Thai

    4.5(6 reviews)

    We eat Thai food in our home at least once a week and rice, at least 3 times. I was going through…read morerice and Thai food withdrawals while traveling in Switzerland and, in our search, for a place to eat, we stumbled into Prik Thai--and what a find. My husband speaks Thai so that was good but the server spoke some English. We ordered Pad Thai (we usually steer clear of it in the states because they make it too sweet in most Thai restaurants but the server convinced my husband), Massaman curry, chicken and vegetables stir fry, papaya salad, and drunken noodles. Everything was delicious and what we expected, except for the drunken noodles--they were completely different to what we were used to but still very good. I am very glad that the server convinced my husband to get the Pad Thai because it was amazing. My favorite, however, was the Massaman curry; combined with the rice, it was absolute heaven. I was happy. The food is great, prices are very good, and service is quick and friendly. Our family was in their very happy place and ready to explore more of Luzern.

    Yelp Review 2026 #44:…read more We came to Prik Thai because of multiple factors: it was close to our hotel, we wanted food with flavor, it's highly rated on all review websites, and it had been raining all day. I saw pictures of their Pad Thai and it looked the same as the Pad Thai I would eat in Bangkok. So, I knew what I was going to get even before getting here. We walked past this restaurant several times to/from the hotel and there's always a lot of people. It just has to be good. The restaurant is small with maybe 10 tables. To see the menu and place your order, scan the QR code. Our server brought us our drinks and she asked us if we placed our food order and we had to show her what we ordered. A few minutes later, our food arrived. But we didn't have plates. We asked for plates and the server seemed confused. We were too. Are we supposed to eat straight from the plate the food came in on?!? Chicken Pad Thai: Looked legit. Piping hot. I cut the egg-wrapped pad Thai in half to let the steam out. It had red onions which changed the flavor. This was a cross between pad see ew and pad Thai. It had a smokey/ barbecue-esque flavor to it. The portion was massive - it can be shared by 2 people. Did not finish. 2/5 Spring Rolls: It comes with 3 per order. Piping hot as well. Very oily. All I could taste was oil. Did not finish. 2/5 We waited over 30 minutes after we gave up eating to get our check so we could leave. But all the employees took their dinner break all at the same time. We had to walk to the counter so somebody could acknowledge us. Our server, who was still chewing, asked us if we wanted our leftovers to-go. It wasn't good when it was still hot and fresh. It certainly won't be good cold. My hair and my clothes smelled like cooking oil after.

    We decided to give Song Pi Nong a try after reading the good reviews on our first night here at…read moreLuzern and Switzerland. The restaurant itself is quite small and at dinner time only one single staff at the front. We had a wait a bit before she was able to clear the table. It also took her a bit of time before they were able to take our orders as there were couple other tables in front of us that just sat down. Despite the initial slow service once our food got here everything was good. The portion size was quite nice the white rice was definitely bigger bowl than I expected. The quality of the food was quite nice about what I had expected very comparable to good Thai restaurants here in NYC. The price was definitely a shock at first as with most restaurants here in Switzerland however compare to other places it's quite modest at around 20-30 CHF for main entrees. Definitely a good choice if you looking for Thai food here at Luzern. Better to ask ahead if you're a larger group however as the place is rather small probably only sits 5-6 tables total.

    I'm not sure why their rating isn't very high. We ate lunch here today and the food was wonderful!…read moreEach dish was beautifully presented and flavorful. So, if you find yourself in this high traffic tourist spot, don't be afraid to try Song Pi Nong! If your experience is as good as ours you'll have a great one!
