I work nearby. Since I found this small bistro I eat there regularly. What really convinced me to go there was the emphasis they put on healthy food. Everything is cooked fresh and the ingredients are organic. You can taste that with every bite you take. It's high-end authentic Thai food. Can only recommend it.

We were on vacation I Zurich and were staying at the ibis hotel. This restaurant was great because it was walking distance from the hotel. We came here for 2nights in a row and it was the best Thai food we’ve ever has. The food was amazing and the staff was super nice. I high recommend getting the spicy basil fried rice and the yellow curry. The spring rolls were also great! Overal 5/5 experience.

Food is very tasty, prices are fair. Not a real bistro, Take-away atmosphere. Good for a quick thai meal. I had Pad Khra Pao Chicken, large size portion, lot of rice, decent taste.
