The four of us arrived at the Thai restaurant starving and ordered appetizers right away (Spicy…read moresoup with shrimps 13.50chf and 4 chicken skewers with Satay sauce 8.00chf). The bowl of soup was large enough for two as an appetizer. The chicken skewers were good but did not resemble the photo on the wall (which was what enticed us in the first place). The two of us who ordered the pad thai (described on the menu as "pan fried noodles with shrimp, chicken, or tofu") were very pleased: "Not too much sauce, not too greasy." The dish came with condiments on the side (chili pepper, lime...). The green curry with chicken and pumpkin and red curry with duck were flavorful and delicious. The portions are rather large but it was not possible to share family style because each dish arrived with the rice already on a large dinner plate. The waitress kindly packed up my friend's leftover pad thai in a take out box. A rarity outside the US! According to our friendly, chatty waitress, her mom was the one cooking in the kitchen which explained why all the dishes came out fresh. I can't wait to return to try the other items on the menu....for the first time, I'm tempted to order for take out to maximize my culinary experiences there! Pros: delicious, value for money, generous portions, friendly service, cleanest toilet in Lausanne Cons: small space (perhaps up to 25 people), not suitable for large groups as tables are limited, must share table with other diners, they need to get thai ice tea on their menu!
We saw this place recommended on Trip Advisor as one of the few good inexpensive restaurants in…read moreLausanne. It didn't disappoint. The food was delicious (I ordered the 5 spice duck), and the price was very reasonable - especially for a tourist haven in Switzerland. The main downside is that they don't have many indoor tables, they're mainly a take-away joint. This didn't bother us much - we just took our food down to the lakeside to eat it. They also have menus in English, which was greatly appreciated since my French is terrible.
Chicken and squash green curry. Yum!

The stir-fry sauce just tasted as it should be spicy but not hot. Both the starter and the main dish were beautifully presented. The lunch menu was affordable but à la carte menu prices in the evening are expensive. The tables are a bit squished together and the restaurant is quite small. The Thai staff was very attentive and friendly.

The lady at the reception, apparently la patronne said that everything is ok (she talked fairly well English). When we arrived the following Friday ....the place was reserved by somebody else and the personnel didn't know anything about a reservation! Finally we had to be satisfied with a place beside the bar. If they cannot hold their promises with their high prices, it's really not worth to go into this restaurant. Next time when we want to eat Thai food, we definitively will go another, a better trusted one.

Yelp Review 2026 #156:…read more I wanted some Chinese food and Fai Wong came up highly-rated. It's only a 3-5-minute walk from the hotel I was staying at so, I had all green flags to come here. The exterior and interior were intricately designed. It looked promising. Dinner time in Switzerland is 6-8pm. We got here at 6:10pm and the place was empty. Uh oh, that's not a good sign. They don't have old school menus. You have to scan the QR code to view their menu and I absolutely hate that. The service was good. Food came out 15 minutes after placing our order. Spicy Spare Ribs: When you see "spicy" on the menu in Switzerland, don't believe it. Portion is small but it's tasty. 4/5 Beef Noodle Soup: This tastes just like the instant noodles I used to eat when I was 6-10 years old when I didn't know how to cook so I ate instant noodles for survival while my mom got dinner ready. Instead of bok choy, they use cabbage. Instead of big chunks of beef, they use thin slices of beef you typically see in beef with broccoli and combination fried rice or noodles. 2/5 Dim Sum: There are 4 pieces. One shrimp, one veggie, one chicken, and one pork. It was ok 3/5. I like washing my hands before eating. You have to go outside and go inside like an apartment building to access their bathroom. It's not dirty but not the cleanest either. I really should have paid attention to where the reviews came from because this was not over 4 stars quality.

I stumbled upon this place in my quest for vegetarian food in Montreux. Everything I ordered was…read moreabsolutely delicious. Samosas were maybe the best I've had - deeply spiced and not to be missed. Navratan korma was amazing. They asked did I want it "spicy or not" - I said "spicy" and have no regrets. Naan absolutely drenched in ghee (in a good way!) Another reviewer mentioned the prices. They are high if your contrast class is Indian food in the US, but not high for Switzerland generally or Montreux specifically, where frankly everything everywhere is ridiculously expensive. I got samosa, entree, rice, and naan for ~$40 which sounds obscene until you realize a cup of hot cocoa in this town will cost you $12 (seriously I got cocoa earlier today and it was $12!) Highly recommend if you're lucky enough to find yourself in this beautiful Alpine town.
