    Amazing Korean food presented in a haute cuisine way. The ingredients tasted very fresh and authentic. In between the dishes the owner will sing opera songs in Korean, German and Italian. I was really impressed since I didn‘t expect that before coming here. If you don’t want lengthy conversations with your friends and are happy for a break once in a while this is the place to go.

    I had a good dinner experience here, from the singing owner to extremely friendly staff and authentic Korean food. However, I did find it to be quite pricey considering the small portions of Korean street food dishes packaged as 'fine dining' and their relatively simple meal compositions. While the owner was absolutely caring, he also pushed us several times to purchase alcohol, this was awkward. Overall I would recommend this restaurant If you are coming for the lunch menu, which is much better value for money.

    Very good restaurant at the heart of city Zurich. Love the idea of having Korean food served in creative fine dining way. Ordered the fleisch menu and everything was delicious. The staff were all super nice. I also find it cute that their Korean stuff, sings very good opera singing music, performing in front of so many people!

    We had a really great time with the chef Han - the food is miraculously good with a depicted menu where you can chose between vegetarian, meat or fish. The atmosphere is really nice with the highlight being Han performing his opera singing skills. Highly recommend!

    Just wanted to leave my experience here; Out group mistakenly thought this was a typical restaurant, ordering single items from the menu, but despite this, the experience was unexpectedly pretty amazing. And even after finding out that the course menu the restaurant served was really authentic and of high quality, I was suprised yet again by the singing and the dessert that came after that. So... it was a good experience! I would definitely recommed this to other people as well.

    Authentic korean restaurant with a simple but satisfying lunch menu selection. Disclaimer: the review only considers their lunch offering, which is a small à la carte selection of complete dishes. It is different compared to their dinner fine dining degustation offering. This restaurant lives up to the expectations set up by the very good google reviews. We randomly found out this restaurant while looking for a quick and well-balanced lunch. The lunch menu comprises of a small selection of korean dishes such as different bulgogis (beef, pork, chicken), bibimbap (personalisable with egg and different meats), tofu dishes and noodles. We got a beef bulgogi, which was served with rice, a green salad and a korean potato salad; and a bibimbap, served with a portion of hot sauce. The portions were generous, and I think that there was a lot of care in the presentation of the dish! The food was also very good, and for what we paid (28chf for beef bulgogi and 24chf for the bibimbap), we got good value for our money. The restaurant itself is pretty small, with a simple but very neat and clean interior. The temperature is also nice for hot summer days, as it has air conditioning. The service was good: we were served pretty quickly and the restaurant is english friendly. Another positive note is about the coffee: they serve Caffè Vergnano. We were really happy to see the passion and dedication of the owner of the restaurant, who personally greeted customers. We found out only later that one of the strong assets of this restaurant is the dining experience, where the owner also sings opera! Sadly, we could not experience it, but we would gladly come back!

    I was there for a small birthday dinner, and had an unexpectedly amazing time. The food was of high quality and very authentic, even for Korean taste, not to mention delicious. The staff was very friendly and the service was great. Also, the owner’s amazing vocal performance makes it a whole another experience. Overall, would 100% recommend to anyone in Zurich.

    We went there for dinner. Food was good but we could only choose from 3 sets(vegetable, fish, meat). I hope there could be à la carte for dinner.

  • 5/5 T N. 4 months ago on Google • 44 reviews
    Wonderful experience. There are 3 set menus to be selected from (meat, vegetarian, fish). I find this helped us speed up the decision-making time. Good amount of Korean drinks to try. Of course, the opera was incredible.

    We are traveling in Zurich for a week and I was craving Korean food. I found this restaurant and the Google review was really good especially from Korean customers so we chose this place. We ordered a vegetarian course menu which cost $60 per person and it was plenty of food and very flavorful! Pajeon was crispy and the fried tofu dish was very delicious! Also, Bibimbab has plenty of vegetables inside so in the end, I was too full for dessert!😆 The owner of the restaurant sing for the customers and it was extraordinary! We felt like we were having dinner at the Opera house or something! As a Korean person, I strongly recommend this restaurant if you want to try real Korean food in Zürich! - I write this review in English because I want more people to try this place besides Korean customers. :)

    Worst experience of my life. This is the first negative review of a restaurant I have left in my entire life. The owner kept on pushing me to order alcohol and asked extremely personal questions!! I felt harassed. A glass of mediocre white wine was 15chf , practically dolder grand prices, but of course not dolder grand ambience. He also interrogated me about my religion which I found extremely disturbing and disrespectful. He asked me if I went to church!! Absolutely unprofessional and unacceptable. We should have left then. We explicitly asked then to take two menus off the course as we had a food allergy and he insisted we would like it as we had been away from Korea for ages and completely disregarded our wishes. The food was absolutely subpar, he is selling korean street food packaged as “fine dining” conning non-natives who have no experience or knowledge about Korean food. This is the equivalent of selling mac and cheese or a hot dog packaged as “fine dining” because he knows his audience has ZERO CLUE. The menu we received was worse than 시장음식 in presentation and quality. Me and my friend laughed when we saw the 떡볶이 dressed up as some kind of fine dining menu. It almost felt like a gross parody…..We expressed our displeasure and left in the middle of the course menu. The owner did not take the items off the final bill and charged us for the items we explicitly said many times we did not want. I believe the positive reviews from other asians are for the lunch menu… especially for the noodle soup. the positive reviews for the dinner menu must be from his church buddies!! We left hungry and 90chf poorer, and had to go to an another restaurant to eat satisfactory food. DO NOT GO THERE FOR THE DINNER COURSE MENU, IT IS A TOTAL CON.

    The place has been renovated, whole menu has been changed. The place used to serve A La Carte style, single dishes which were also quite nice, but now they are serving a fine course meal - super high in quality, no question on authenticity, highly recommended. Good for anyone looking for a Korean fine dining with nice music.

    Food great, service very attentive and friendly but unfortunately a bit slow. The singer-turned-owner is worth listening to. All in all a pleasant experience.

    Good and traditional Korean food. Great opera singing by the owner. Weekend menu was 60CHF, maybe slightly towards the expensive side, although can be seen as counterbalanced by the live music.

    Food and service was outstanding - super tasty & friendly staff. When we declined dessert, Han, the owner of the restaurant, told us, that we‘ll get ‚dessert for our ears‘ & started singing. Little did we know that he was a professional opera singer in Zurich (and internationally) before opening his restaurant. It was such an amazing surprise for us, we loved it!🙌🏼🙌🏼Highly recommended! Thanks Han!

    We went here with our friend and had an absolutely amazing dinner. The food was wonderful, we got the meat menu and it was so good. Also, we didn't realize that live music actually meant that the restaurant owner would periodically sing opera to us throughout the night. He was incredibly talented, and it made for a great dinner experience. I would highly recommend coming here.

    We dined here NYE 2022 and was serenaded by the owner, who is an unassuming operatic maestro. We had the tasting menu and the food was solid. We were entertained between meals and this made it a memorable experience. While unexpected, this is a unique experience in Zurich!

    New hidden gem in Zürich!!! This restaurant offers 6 course dishes of Korean food. Food is served that combines the owner's opera music and special Korean culinary art. It starts at 90 francs per person. If you're looking for something special, you'll find it's well worth the money.

    Overall amazing, outstanding experience. Was really craving Korean food when I stumbled upon this place. Course menu of the best Korean delectables in the most beautiful plating ever. Delicious food and heartwarming experience. Beautiful singing in several languages by the owner that really touches your heart and he goes around to each and every table to converse with you. Makes you feel so welcome and never rushed. This is truly an unforgettable experience, dinner with a show at an affordable price too! Will definitely visit whenever I’m in Switzerland 😊

  • 5/5 Penny K. 2 years ago on Google
    Impressed by the food and music there. We randomly walked into the restaurant without knowing the story behind. Then we had the most unexpected dinning experience. Amazing service, the Asian hospitality warms my heart. Delicious food, you see and taste the efforts that they put into each dish. Pitch perfect performance, we were totally touched and amazed by Han's singing. Recommend!

  • 5/5 Macarena S. 5 months ago on Google
    Lovely place, totally recommend it! Food was delicious, set menu which we were not too sure about at first, but it turned out to be great. Service is one of the best we’ve had in Zurich. The cherry on top is the live music, great singer, amazing voice creating a lovely atmosphere. Well done!
