    I can understand why this is ranked No.1 Chinese Restaurant in Zurich in TripAdvisor. The buffet food is very fresh and tasty. (Again, a bit too salty for me, but that's just because I eat very light) good varieties and have enough choice for vegetarian. Very good value at 22chf per head for lunch buffet. Would recommend if you are in the area. It's probably not worth a special visit but if you go for the Wednesday or Saturday market, then yes, 15 mins walk from the market, you can have lunch there.

    The food was so good! They have fresh sushi with generous portions of fish. The noodles and meat are really good and mostly chicken and beef, not much pork which was good for us and there was plenty of fresh fruit available. The staff were very friendly and kind to us as well. Visiting from Canada this was expensive because of the conversion but definitely worth it.

    Ridiculously fantastic food and service. came for a lunch buffet all you can eat. There was, obviously sushi, Some great noodles, fried chicken, spicy chicken, fried fish. The spring roll. Everything tasted fresh! Ordered the lychee juice and it was just as I like it, Not to sweet not too diluted. The picture attached is me butchering the desert, which includes fruits and tiramisu. Highly recommend this place.

    Didn't see that many smiles on the staff's face (not that much of a priority here I guess...). We went for the buffet menu. To be honest the food didn't taste necessarily fresh and the choice is pretty limited. At the end we asked for tea for two people, and they came with two teapots (each enough to fill 5 or 6 cups of tea!) charging 12 CHF for them... That's so not what we meant with that order, and at least tell us in advance what they mean with tea and therefore that one teapot would have been enough!!! The only good thing about the dinner was the ice cream... Never coming back here again, there are way better options in terms of Asian food in Zurich!

    Excellent Asian food, there is also Sushi, but not the main thing here. Very high quality, buffet style. There is a huge variety and everything is really good. Family driven business, they are very gentle. 38 CHF all you can eat What a nice surprise. :)

    Excellent food, and friendly service. There is the buffet, all-you-can-eat, or the menu. We enjoy the spicy Chicken Nihao

    I like this place because it’s very close to my house!(: Food is tasty and consistent with their recipes. I sometimes go just for sorbet when I have a sweet tooth. (:

    I came here for the buffet dinner and enjoyed it. I was craving Chinese food and this place satisfied my craving. The service was really exceptional! Very friendly waiters and they even made extra sushi for us because there was no more left, and since we arrived later. There is a nice variety of dishes and even sweet fruit desserts, chocolate Fondue fountain, and ice cream. I could recommend it if you're looking for Chinese food and I would likely be back next time for another craving.

    Nihao First class staff and food. I tried buffet with a few vegan options (sushi with mango/mango and avocado/tofu/avocado), one of it was exceptional with coconut, mango and avocado. Also there was plenty of veggies (cucumbers, salat, broccoli, maybe also something I did not notice). When lovely lady from staff found out I am vegan, I was offered extra tofu with veggies and rice with veggies, just for me. My heart just melted ❤️ There were also fruits, mango, ananas, melon, grapes,all fresh and very nice. For non vegan also tiramisu which I heard is very good also. Price was ok for the amount and quality of food and service. Better reserve a table, because place was fool and I was lucky to have one spare table for 1.5 hour. Btw it was enough to eat without a rush. There is a variety of wines, some asian beers, alco and non alco drinks and stronger alcohols. I felt very good in this place and I can strongly recommend it. Thank you, Nihao :)

    Good buffet but with limited options. We went on a Sunday for lunch and frankly WAY too pricey for a Sunday lunch - 38.50 per person. Wouldn't recommend based on price and service alone.

    We were visiting Europe (Prague, Munich, Hallstat, Venice, Zurich) and craved Chinese foods. We found this place with good reviews and indeed, the foods were delicious! They kept the foods hot and refilled frequently for the buffet! The foods satisfied our craving! The services were attentive to our need. Strongly recommend for Chinese buffet in Zurich!

    Disappointing food quality of the buffet (especially meat: chicken and pork), atmosphere a bit under average. The staff was nice and I think they have good possibility of improving the situation if they want.
