Willd efinitely have to try Hei Fung.
Hmm sorry to hear that. Like I said never tried the Dim Sum. Every time we go there I get the peking duck which is IMHO outstanding, especially with the rice pancake thinggies and the crispy skin. I've had another dish there before I discovered the duck which was good but not exceptional, so I keep getting the duck.
I have been last Saturday in Lörrach, and I ate in a such amazing and lovely Chinese restaurant (the link bellow)
http://web2.cylex.de/firma-home/chin...ai-562413.html
Is quite far away from Zürich but I recommend it...the meal were really taste...I could not manage my course (dish) alone (too much food)...and the best point....CHEAP!!!
The waitress were nice, friendly and sympathetic and in the end she brought us a warm plum wine (I didn't know about it...I had liked).
Does anyone know of a place where they have yum cha carts?
For a great spicey Phô soup: restaurant Vietnam at Bahnhof Binz (Uetlibergbahn, from Zurich HB, 3rd stop). Also authentic vietnamese spring rolls, great lunch buffet.
There's a little food place just next to SihlCity shopping mall called Hong Kong Food Paradise or something to that effect. It houses 3 different cuisines - indian, chinese and japanese. Dont bother with the japanese food there - its tasteless and overpriced.
But do give the duck from the Chinese store a go as well as the tandoori chicken!
My wife (chinese) and I went to Beyond in Zollstr. last Friday. It was busy, but we got a seat fairly fast.
Food was pretty good - certainly some of the better chinese food we have had since arriving in Zurich that is when eating out not home of course
But what we are really missing is a good szechuan restaurant. Anyone had any luck finding one yet?

For takeaway or quick eating I liked Peking Garden just outside Altstetten Train Station. I and my husband we personally found it much better than Suanlong at Zurich HB. And the price is quite reasonable.
I also heard positives from many about the one at Zollstrasse.
Oh no! No No! Don't eat the Indian there! It makes baby (insert name of god) cry.
I honestly thought the indian there was incredibly greasy, incredibly expensive, and not at all worth it. The chinese food there did look and smell great though.
Next time!
Had dinner on a week night at Nagasui. Pretty good stewed pork layered with cabbage leaves (k'ou yoke), marinated fried chicken and tempura-style soft shell crab. Decent dim-sum.
They have two outlets in ZH.
Thanks for all the recommendations! I am Chinese, just got to Zurich, and am a bit disppointed in Chinese restaurants (used to live in west coast US). Your recommendations are helpful, and I am going to try all of the restaurants. Anyone got a link/address to Beyond?
Oh that is good to know. I saw them near the Stock Exchange and it looked like a nice place to have dinner in summer - nice outdoor dining area. Will give it a go...
I just did a google search and they're on tripadvisor .
Ok treelover - some of these posts are getting old - so please do go and check the links and let us know if they're still good
And have heaps of fun...

But not open for lunch on the weekends when you really want them to be!
Someone recommended the Yumihana for Korean food. Do they also do Korean BBQ? I am desperately searching for a decent Restaurant with Korean BBQ (the whole deal with sidedishes etc.).
So far I have tried out one which was horrendous and overpriced...
Best by far is Korea Pavilion on Badenerstr.

I only was there twice, and whenever it was a nice place, the meat both times was somewhere between the consistence of military shoes and rubber-bears. I over the years have eaten in many Chinese restaurants all over Greater Zurich Area, but never had anything like this elsewhere.

when in Adliswil, I much preferred
Hei Fung
Soodstr. 17, 8134 Adliswil
quite near to the rail-station
-- a bit narrow, a bit old-fashioned, not cheap, but excellent and an excellent service

I was there about twice, excellent, but located "in the middle of nowhere" or as it was put in "The Great Gatsby" quite nicely "in the valley of ashes". One of the worst locations in the Greater Zurich Area.

I can recommend the Tres Amigos in the centre of Bassersdorf, which can be compared with Mexican places in Texas or in Atlanta/GA, and really can be recommended. With my MX experience consisting of an hour walkabout in Matomoros I however cannot judge authenticity. And, to be mentioned here is that just a few meters from the Tres Amigos in Bassersdorf is, in Winterthurerstr. 21, the Byblos Lebanese-Armenian Restaurant.

Nagasui is owned by the same guy (Malaysian) who owns Tiffins in Seefeld.
You know you've been in Switzerland too long when...
- you think Chinese food SHOULD be more expensive.
Peking Garden in Uster by the Bahnhof is an absolute NO NO.
I've eaten Chinese food on 5 Continents around the world and had some pretty strange experiences but their food is by far the worst I have ever tasted. Please do not go there. Total waste of money.
You may think perhaps it was a one off ... NO ... we gave them 2 other chances, takeaway and dine in, but the food was terrible each time.
The fried rice tasted like brine, the beef had absolutely no flavour, the chicken wings were the worst I have ever eaten in my life, dry and tasteless. The service was pretty shameful too. All in all a really really bad meal.
Stick to Suan Long ... far far better quality of food and service.
