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.

We ordered dumplings, duck, and fried rice. Everything was really great!! Good portion size and authentic taste. I think it took a minute for the food to come out but definitely worth it, and there were other foods that I wanted to try the next time I come here.

The place was crowded and we sat at a long communal table. It was kind of cold outside so I wanted something warm. So we got two soups: one wonton and one beef noodle. We also got fried rice. The fried rice was a little greasy but it was pretty good overall. The soups were nice and hot and hit the spot. It is a good-sized portion and if you can read Chinese, it helps you that much more. I really liked this place and I think everyone should give it a chance.

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.
