The 10 best Japanese restaurants in Zurich

In Chinese, "Hongxi" means "sow goose flying west". Here it lands in Zwinglistrasse - with the best dim sum, xiaolongbao, spare ribs and Szechuan chicken in town; sometimes surprising, always very good. To finish, homemade jasmine tea beckons.

An Chay serves Vietnamese street food. A closer look at the menu reveals that there’s no meat. Instead, the dishes feature tofu, mushrooms, and seitan. The only ingredient that goes into the bowls, soups, and other dishes is fish sauce, but it can be omitted upon request.

Jao Praya is considered by many to be the Zurich address par excellence for authentic Thai food. Instead of adapted variations, here you will find bold dishes with real flavours. The cuisine stays close to traditional recipes and shows how unadulterated Thai cuisine can taste.

"LÈ" means "joy" in Chinese - and that's exactly what you get when you savour the fresh, Shanghai-style dishes. The spare ribs are to die for and the rib eye is served in a delicious, spicy sauce. Charming, very friendly service.

In lively Kreis 5, Co Chin Chin serves Vietnamese classics with a French twist - from crispy bánh xèo to fresh summer rolls and savoury bò lá lot. Fresh, homemade and full of flavour - every bowl here has character.
