I came here for my birthday dinner and was excited until I read some reviews saying it was overpriced Asian fusion food. The restaurant is a bit hidden and there is only street parking available (good luck finding something…). The restaurant’s interior is black themed - tables, curtains, etc. The music is more upbeat like hip hop, so not as relaxing but still good. The menu card changes, and there were 9 options (including 1 dessert option). We chose the surprise menu, thinking it would be different than the 9 options on the menu card (it wasn’t). Do yourself a favor and DONT order the surprise menu and order the things you actually want. 4 of the 6 surprise menu plates were vegetarian. We also saved 4 CHF getting the surprise menu. The table next to us saved 1 CHF. One good thing about the menu is that they can accommodate any food allergies or make the dish vegan/vegetarian if you request. But I find it a bit steep to charge the 75 CHF per person for a vegetarian meal versus a meal with meat… The portions were smaller sized (I left hungry and I am a petite woman and was sharing half the dishes with a man). The 1st dish was the carrot laab, which was surprisingly good. The 2nd dish was the baked beetroot salad, which consisted of Chinese cabbage, pickled radishes, baked beet, with a ponzu sauce (but it tasted more like it was made with Calamansi instead of lemons or limes). The 3rd dish were the no potato fries made of radish, which were good, but not sure if it was worth that price. The 4th dish for us was the miso salmon (our neighbors had the pulled oxtail as I preferred no Mayo). This was also good, but would have preferred the salmon to be more medium rare or medium as it would then had more texture. The miso marinade is very light so you don’t taste it much. The kale was good, too. The 5th dish was the pho style beef. In my view, this was the most disappointing dish. First it was siedfleisch which is the cheapest of the beef cuts. The wasabi they dumped on top was way too overpowering. The broth concentrate below it was there to call it “pho style”. There was a dumpling on top (har go wrapper) with bone marrow (not so much inside). Before we got the final dish, the waitress literally wiped down the table with a wet rag. Not sure why this was necessary, as you could smell the cleaner product right before you get dessert. The final dish was the only dessert option, which was a pandan cream with chocolate crunch and canned pears at the bottom. Don’t waste your time or money on the wines and stick to the cocktails. All in all, it was an ok experience. As the others said, it was overpriced. I also left hungry. Not sure I would come back again.

*** Warning*** I'm going on a little rant... ;) Swiss restaurants sometimes get a bad rep for having really expensive food that also isn't that great. I've been to several restaurants that prove this wrong, but I have also been to restaurants that fit right into that category. Kin is in that category. I'm sorry guys it was just my experience!!! I also figure that enough people like this place that my review isn't really going to hurt anybody. We typically eat vegetarian but we decided to get real wild and go for the pescatarian tasting menu. This was 75CHF per person, with 7 dishes. The dishes were meant to be shared among the two of us, so when you look at a dish it really costs around 21CHF. We started with two salads that were quite yummy, then had two other fun bites - kimchi with peas and then a salad wrap with a really yummy fried chickpea thing, and then salmon with a side of greens, very nicely seasoned broccolini and a final dessert. I can understand the salmon being pricey, but the other dishes (aside from the broccolini) were just very small and nothing totally insane. I left feeling slightly underwhelmed. The service was very friendly and attentive.

My new favorite dinner spot. Simple yet amazing tasting menu, for a great price. I’ve gone now multiple times and can not recommend it more. Cocktails are also spot on! Definitely get the miso salmon, best cooked salmon I’ve ever had!

The food was totally amazing. Its mostly asian and asian fusion and I would recommend sharing a few dishes (the portions are quite small). The interior/atmosphere is also very nice. Highly recommend.

Chef Beni is firing on all cylinders. Perfect level of heat, creative use of tasty Swiss ingredients! Sit at the kitchen counter for a glimpse of all the action.

This is probably one of the 10 best restaurants I have been in Zurich. Incredible innovative food and everything with a super nice twist. It is Asian Fusion Cuisine without claiming to be food from a specific country. The Korean Friend Cauliflower was one of the best things I’ve ever had. Staff was friendly and always there when needed. Only negativ point ist, that between one of the courses it took like 20 minutes until we got the next course. Another really cool thing was the fact they only offered local swiss beer!

One of the best food experiences I’ve had in a while. Amazing people and food. What a treat.

Wow, this was such a great dinner. It’s a super small, cozy place with incredible food. The menus are to share. Can highly recommend this place. Super good value for money. Don’t miss it :)

Amazing experience from beginning the start. We took the chef's menu and were really surprised by how diverse each taste was. Food is very qualitative. We were a bit sceptical about quantities but in the end we were full and here quality really wins over quantity. The only thing that could be improved in our opinion is service - we would have loved to have one person to take care of us the whole evening and not having each time someone different. Also the restaurant was quite cold because of ventilation, people were eating with their jackets on - until they turned it off. Will definitely come back and recommend this place! Thanks for having us!

Already being regulars of KIN, this gem of a restaurant spiced it up last week with a Nomads Zurich collaboration, offering a vegan menu. As always, it was a great experience, well hosted while the food was experimental and outstanding. Keep on going Team KIN

Beni and his team deliver one of the best Asian fusion cuisine that we’ve tasted. This guy never misses, the seasoning on each dish is spot on and you just crave for the next plate to arrive 🎯cool and attentive service, nice wines, great playlist in the background… life. Bravo KIN 😮‍💨

High quality and super tasty innovative food with a touch of Asia (miso cheesecake is highflying recommended)! We also enjoy a very nice atmosphere and helpful service. It is a bit pricing but worth of the experience. Only thing that could be better was the setting of the table and bench. If there is a bit more space between guests and more confort chair, that would be even perfect.

This is, without a doubt, my favorite restaurant in Zurich. The ever-changing seasonal menu always adds an exciting touch to every visit. The food represents Asian fusion at its finest. The staff, both waiters and kitchen, are exceptionally friendly and always willing to answer questions about the food, offering valuable cooking tips as well. Their expertise shines through in the skillful preparation of their dishes. Even as a vegan, I find plenty of delightful options on the menu, and for carnivores, there are equally impressive choices. The restaurant also impresses with its great cocktails and an amazing atmosphere, complemented by old-school hip-hop tunes that set the mood for a cool and modern dining experience. I can't recommend this restaurant enough! Additionally, the prices for the tasting menu are also a steal.

we had the vegetarian surprise menu with 7 dishes. amazing flavours and you can tell everything is made with fresh ingredients. I am still thinking about the dessert we had, it was so tasty, perfect ending💚✨

A bit pricey and service was somehow slow when we were there. We ordered the 5 courses menu. And about 30min after one of the dish with nothing more coming to the table, we thought we were done and wanted to pay. They told us that two more dishes were about to come. So a pleasant surprise after all even though the communication could have been better. Otherwise friendly staff!

KIN offers a creative asian fusion menu and an interesting selection of wines and somewhat too loud music. The presentation of the dishes receives a lot of attention. Unfortunately, the flavors and textures of most dishes fell way short of expectations for the ambitious price tags, resulting in a poor price-quality performance.

Went out for a birthday dinner and was looking forward to a great meal. Unfortunately we had to wait over 1.5hrs for all our food to be served. The food itself was good but very small portions and expensive. Explained to the staff that we were disappointed in the time it took for the food to come out - no apology given. Overall feel that if the food had all come out together in a reasonable time or the staff had at least apologised then we wouldn’t have left so disappointed. Both still hungry and 200.- spent.
