Excellent meal - some of the tastiest Thai food I’ve had outside Thailand and - particularly by Zürich standards - at a very reasonable price. The service was really excellent and super friendly. For sure we’ll be back.

We made a reservation on their website for a weekday dinner for two. We were seated inside quickly, and given menus, however, it took a while for them to take our order. We ordered two of their homemade drinks, the rosehip iced tea, and the passion fruit and apple juice, which were both delicious. For starters we had the lemongrass beef summer rolls and the tempura vegetables. For mains we both had the Wagyu beef Bun Bo Hue. The broth was delicious, however the wagyu could have been cut thinner so that it cooked through more consistently, it was chunky in some sections and remained raw but was otherwise delicious.
Decent price and good food and a large portion.

I visit regularly and everytime satisfied with service staff;)
And Satisfied mostly also for the noodle soups. Only once noodle was overcooked or they prepared before.... (I didn't mention anything there....)...

This Thai restaurant is not worth the price.
The service is a little bit unprofessional.
The spring rolls are really too oily, the pork with sweet and sour sauce are very poorly seasoned. Thai cocktails are just okay. I’ve eaten lots of Thai restaurants in different countries including Thailand, this is almost the worst one I’ve ever had.
Amazing authentic Thai food. Could not have asked for better here in Zurich. Had the Phad Thai, spicy beef and red curry.

A pleasant Thai restaurant. Food and service were very good.
Their prices are over the top though. We had an appetizer, two main courses, two beers and a bottle of water. Altogether that clocked in at CHF 147, which is about 30% above what would've been reasonable.
The woman in the counter who is on duty today is very rude. I respectfully asked if she could try again to swipe my card because it did not push thru the first time due to my local bank in PH is requiring for a PIN, but it seems she did not welcome the idea of doing it again for me. She took the card machine and rudely did it in front of me. 🤷🏻‍♀️ The food was amazing but the service is not of a Michelin Star.

Thailändisches Essen in vielfältiger Auswahl, schmackhaft, reichlich, zu fairen Preisen.
Ich habe das Style Thai aufgrund der guten Rezensionen besucht und kann diese unterstreichen. Es gibt kleine und grosse Portionen zu unterschiedlichen Preisen, dazu Reis. Thailändisches Bier und eine Auswahl an weiteren Getränken. Freundlicher, hilfsbereiter Service.
Wer hungrig ist, verlässt das Lokal glücklich und gesättigt.

Nice location and modern concept compared to some other Vietnamese restaurants which also attracts many young people. The menu offers many dishes.
We had chicken satay, summer rolls, beef pho and a spicy minced beef with rice.
The food is good but not excellent as I expected. The broth was too light and the spicy minced beef was a bit salty and too dry in my opinion.
Good selection of beers and Vietnamese fresh made drinks

Nice place to go, for eating or shopping. A trustworthy shop!
Highly recommend if you want your day ruined by the amazingly rude staff

Food was slightly better than the average Thai chains in Zürich, so I give it 2 stars.

Everything else went downhill from there.

We were just in the mood to snack, so ordered one dish to share. But the greedy Swiss waiter yelled at us about ordering too little AFTER I paid the bill. Very smart, because I would’ve walked away if he showed his true colors right when we sat down.

Great food and worth the price.
One of the servers was not in a good mood. Let’s give her the benefit of doubt that she was just having a bad day. The other one was nice. Both are definitely hardworking.
Expect an imbiss ambience, nothing more.
I would definitely recommend it and go again. :)
New owner, but still the best and most original thai in town !! Top Papaya salad and an marvelous red curry. Absolutely reccomended.

The food was excellent. However there was nothing awesome about it that I have not tried at other thai restaurants. I ordered red curry with Australian beef, it was very good. I had half of a sampler platter and fried banana with vanilla ice cream for 116 Francs.
Extremely rude elderly lady. Think she is the owner. I came there with my elderly parents and they were waiting for the food to provided - take away (75 euros) and my parents were waiting at these empty tables.. tired ..She kept telling them to get up. Unbelievable!! Where is the decency and basic courtesy. I told her they will get away once someone arrives. I don’t bout the food .. but basic humanity is basic..

Was craving for Asian food and spotted this Thai food place. It's self service and food is not bad being in Zurich. Price is reasonable compared to other places as you know that everything is pretty expensive.
Amazing food, wonderful owner! Best Thai food in town!

Great food, very delicious really! Nice vegetarian options and quick and easy ordering, with fast serving times.

Service was friendly and you felt at home. Drinks also delicious. Some great options to choose from.
From all Asian market markets in Lucerne this one is my favourite. They have some vegetables that i couldn’t find anywhere else. Price is ok for Switzerland. Also love the people there, super friendly & helpful. Lunch menu varied and freshly cooked daily. Bring some cash just in case they have problems with their credit card payment or TWINT. It happened to me twice, so i had to go to the nearest ATM (about 200m away).

Very tasty food and huge portions for the price relative to the rest of Zurich. All the dishes could contain more veggies and it would be nice to have a soup option for lunch. But Massaman Curry and Pangang Curry were very good
Amazing find!! We were so pleased to stumble upon this place by accident. It was full house but they found us a table. Food was authentic, service was very attentive and quick. Dessert was lovely. Well done to the owners!

This is one of my favourite restaurants in Zurich and I always bring visitors here. The food is absolutely divine, and the portions are great. The house ice tea is just fabulous. Absolute must-eat here!
We had an enjoyable meal of pad thai and vegetarian spring rolls. The dishes and drinks were well presented and looked appetizing. The taste is authentically Asian.

We were seated alfresco at the side of the road, but it was ok since we did not have any booking.

A good place for a quick lunch if you are in the old town of Zürich. They are few ready cook dishes for you to pick. Your lunch is either Rice with 1 or 2 of your choices. The curries are really good.

We were speechless: tue best ethnic food dinner in ages!!!! Tastes were so balanced, delicate (the steamed sea bass was something to die for!) yet with strong character (in the red Thai curry case). If we were living in Luzern, Thai Garden would be one of our hot spots!!! Very efficient, smiling, friendly and helpful staff!!! Amazing decor!

We weren’t expecting much for a Thai restaurant in the middle of Switzerland, and this ended up being a pleasant surprise. The ambience is amazing, it transports you to an intimate garden. The service was friendly and helpful, special mention to the manager.

The food is seriously amazing. The ingredients where fresh and tasty. Seasoning was surprisingly similar to the one I had in Thailand. They menu is extensive and you’ll probably find one of your favorite Thai dishes. Dessert was also tasty but it wasn’t out of this world.

Would fully recommend for thai lover and we’ll surly return.

The ambiance was just perfectly Thai, service was exemplary, the staff were friendly, attentive, wearing great smiles. The food was great, very authentic Thai cuisine which came in big serving. Conveniently located at the city center inside a hotel. A must-try.

It's a very good Thai food "take away" shop. There are limited seating inside (about five tables) and out (for only four seating?) for those who prefer to dine-in. If you decide to dine-in, they will serve food on a nice ceramic plate and you can use regular table utensils for your dining pleasure.

Food and service were excellent. My red curry with chicken had a little spice and big flavors. If I were to be critical a little, I wished it had some more veggies, but it had lots of bamboo shoot pieces. Pad Thai also was very tasty...noodles were a little tough perhaps due to sitting under the heating lamp for a while, but it was almost negligible when it got mixed with fresh veggies before being served. I thought it was rather generous serving for money. Switzerland is well-known for it's expensiveness...in everything.

No table service here. There was a dish return tower-cart by the entrance/exit for you to deposit your dishes...most people took care of their own dishes. Others, not so much...

Cash or credit card...accepted. If you're in town and you like Thai food, you should try this place...one street in from the river front...a little off the beaten path not too far from Grossmünster.

Among WORST Thai restaurants I’ve ever eaten in my life. Earned my 1 star for the ambiance and interior. Please change your Chef if that’s possible. I’ve been trying Thai restaurants all around the world and even in Thai. This one is way more off my acceptable taste.
Excellent shop and the enormous variety. We bought the best ever chili sauce. It is crazy good, and I love that the nice lady at the cashier praised it and explained that it is homemade. This is our favourite Asian market.
I shopped here often and love it for most of time. But be aware of what you pay at the end. I read reviews about them charge more than what you actually get. It just happened to me! I only get 14 items but they charged me for 15 items. Double scanned one I assumed. Not sure how to argue with that since I didn't notice until I was home. Also prices are not marked on every single product, details on the recipe are not so clear.... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really do not understand why I always have to buy at least more than 10chf when I want to pay by card. Above all, the way to talk of the woman who looks like the owner of the shop is really bad. Ive been visiting here to buy some ingredients because its close to my home but whenever I go, they always have been making me disappointed.
Nice Lunch Menu - could be more spiced but ok, must work for everyone.
You also get almost everything you desire for your Asian kitchen and taste.
Try it out, it's worth it
Great selection of a variety of Asian groceries at fair prices. The staff is always willing to give recommendations and offer assistance. We've discovered lots of new recipes and tips from the friendly employees. There is also a takeaway counter with tasty dishes that is always packed around lunchtime and they even have a few tables available in the back to enjoy your meal.
I love this place because it has such a wide range of Asian (and other continents) goods you can't always find as easily in the bigger grocery stores. And since I don't know most of their products, it's a thrill to explore and try new things. Plus the restaurant/take away is super delicious!
