If you’re interested in a Japanese experience then this is an excellent restaurant to try it out. I had a fantastic tempura. Perfectly cooked. Great sauce. Really nice. Then a vegan soba with mushrooms that had incredible taste and texture and honestly I did not miss the meat. I would go back just for this soba. Thank you for an incredible meal.

I’m used to Swiss restaurant prices, but here I really felt the overall value for money was lacking — especially compared to places like Ooki. The food was okayish, nothing particularly special or worth the price. What really brought my experience down to two stars, however, was the service. My friends were served their meals, but mine never arrived. For 20 minutes, no one even looked my way until I called a waiter, who simply told me they had lost my order and that it would take another 15 minutes. There was no attempt to make up for the situation. When I suggested that perhaps a dessert could be offered as a gesture, he nodded but never followed through. After waiting another 20 minutes, I just left. Throughout the evening, I had to ask three times before we finally got water. The head waiter did try to be understanding, but unfortunately offered no real solution or compensation. Overall, terrible problem resolution, poor value for money, and very average ramen.

Very busy place, I was so happy to have a reservation and they accommodated an early time slot with additional party. The service was excellent- I was happy that the server helped us decide on what to eat and made a lot of good recommendations.The food it’s was delicious! The spiced beer complemented the dish very well. Overall, great experience it seemed this is the place to go in a Zurich for ramen. I would definitely return and recommend a visit.

Situated in the heart of Zurich just few minutes walking from Zurich HB main station, this restaurant tucked in a little bit on the side of the Main Street of shops. Perfect hearty meal, if you’re craving authentic Japanese Udon because it tasted like the one I had in Kyoto. It’s just easy to get too and menu is simple. Saturdays are great because it stays open all day till evening, a late lunch and less crowded spot!

Delicious Japanese food! There are various options, also vegetarian! Both the noodles and the rice are amazing. The price is very good, especially considering the quality and the big portions. The restaurant is on the smaller side (and so a bit chaotic maybe), but it is well decorated and very colourful. It is a nice place where to have lunch. The service is polite and friendly.

Super friendly, helpful and fast service. Despite the digital ordering and machines being out of service, they were still swift with the service and apologetic. Food came out quickly, and portions of noodles were bigger than expected. From reading reviews, we thought it would be too little food. But we had more than enough with the noodle bowls alone. And also got starters. Udon was perfect, we tried the Japanese curry noodles without broth and veggie udon with broth. Natto beans was a very odd stringy texture, never tried it before. Chicken karaage pieces were large and filling. And they have cloudy, unfiltered sake here, which is hard to find in Zurich Japanese restaurants - yum!! Wonderful terrace seating, just a block from the bustle of Bahnhofstrasse yet calm and enjoyable for dining. They even brought little kids chopsticks and kids fork for our son. They could improve for kids food options by offering a kids menu (smaller portions of karaage or plain noodles, for example).

Staff were not very welcoming, maybe because they were overwhelmed by the workload? There was no menu or qr code of “food and drinks” on our table at first(which they got it on every table except ours), so I went to ask for the menu. The staff totally misunderstood what I said in English, and started warning us not to move to an outdoor table by ourselves because it would rain soon, she didn’t put us there, and this restaurant was not free-seating. Meanwhile I was just asking for a menu after sitting there for 5 minutes, left unattended. Cannot be more confusing. For the Karaage Chicken Don, it tasted like an cheap instant meal. Everything in the bowl was barely warm. And for the ebi udon, it was average. The broth had an overly strong ginger taste. In this price range, higher quality food is expected. In conclusion, food was way overpriced compared to the taste, and I can receive a better service from a food truck than here. Instead of trying hard to make the restaurant look like a Japanese one, how about try harder to actually earn the taste of Japanese food and the service of Japanese people.

Lovely food and atmosphere. The service was very friendly and fast. Everything was very authentic and I'm happy to find such a place in Switzerland. It felt like I was eating in Japan! Will come again.
