    Love the atmosphere and service! The food was amazing also with a wide variety from the Japanese cuisine. Portions were great too and the little appetizers had a super cute design!

    Summary: for the Asian buns worth a visit, the rest of the menu was disappointing; really friendly service and easy atmosphere Dishes (- negative / = ok / + positive): - Vegetable gyoza: bland just nothing special; nice dip sauce + bun with beef: excellent = Raclette spring rolls: just ok, not a must-have - pad Thai in omelette: noodles overcooked - tuna tataki (raw tuna briefly roasted on the outside): the fish was way too cold nearly causing a brain freeze :) Even though tataki is briefly roasted on the outside; overall bland taste - Same veggies (kraut) are used in several dishes; matching veggies for each dish would be nicer Service: ++ very friendly and lovely Price: + mostly good price for value - 10 CHF for only two gyoza with vegetables is too pricey Atmosphere: + easy going relaxed atmosphere; several large tables for 6 or even 10-12 people

    Went for lunch and it was a very good surprise. First thing first it was not too busy and we were warmly welcomed. Menu is not too big meaning it’s probably fresh. Had the chicken teriyaki don and it was super tasty within a good portion. I think there is a big Japanese influence here although don’t expect to find sushi on the menu. Will be back for sure.

    Located near the city center of Basel Switzerland, Nua is not your typical Asian dumpling shop. As a starter, the presentation of the Holapa Bun was pretty amazing and savory flavor made it all worth it. I say check it out.

    Amazing restaurant. One of the best of its kind in Basel. I’d say it’s some sort of Asian fusion cuisine heavily incorporating Japanese dishes. Also open on Sunday all day long, what not to like.

    Unassuming, amazing little place in Kleinbasel. The menu is just right - there may not be 100 different dishes to choose from, but everything is delicious and fresh. I've tried the dumplings, bowls, ramen and desserts and loved everything! Very beautiful presentation of the dishes. I even celebrated my birthday here and my friends were also very happy. Service is always friendly and helpful. Takeaway is also possible. Looking forward to many more visits!

    Nua gyoza was delicious but portion is small. Teriyaki don was a lil too salty.

    Been there today as per my wife’s recommendation; Glad that I listened to her. This cozy new place in Kleibasel is just too good. Be it- the friendly and welcoming staffs, be it- food choices and innovative presentation or be it the aesthetic interior decor; we both were totally happy. Highly recommend 👍🏼

    Not authentic Japanese! I have lived in Japan for 4 years hence I know authentic Japanese. We asked for regular water. The server charged us 12CHF despite giving us water in a open carafe not in a bottle and said regular water means bottled water hence the charge…really!! Knowing she was lying and we know it, she offered to take off the charge but I paid for it and said this will be my Google review so others are not cheated. I donot recommend this place! Dishonesty for CHF 12 deserves to be pointed out and I cannot trust what else they may be doing in the kitchen. There were only two other table occupied so clearly it is not a popular place at dinner time even when a big convention was going on a few steps away.

    This place was so good! Got chicken gyozas, beef roll, and pandan chicken. The service was fantastic, the waiter was so so nice! The atmosphere and music is great too, very relaxing. Prices are reasonable, and presentation of food is great! (see picture attached). Would definitely recommend

    I ordered a take out when visiting the area. I walked in to order, service was friendly, helpful, and bilingual (English speaking too). I sat while waiting for the order and the restaurant had a lovely atmosphere. Vegan gyoza (2) with red curry sauce, and ramen with planted chicken pictured. All delicious!

    Honestly, the best Asian food in Basel. I order online and it always comes the same superb dish as if you order it in the restaurant. The presentation is on point, the flavors even better. They deserve every star here. Food in Basel became quite disappointing lately especially in Asian restaurants, but this one never disappoints. The service is also wonderful and super nice. Today for example while I was waiting my uber order that I picked up, the server gave me a matcha lemonade so I drink something while I wait. Honestly this is my HAPPY PLACE!!

    We went at this charming place for taking lunch. We couldn't choose only one thing for the starter and we tried the gyozas and the spring rolls. Good choice to order both because they were delicious! As the main dish, we ordered the spicy Udon with chicken (not spicy) and Teriyaki don with chicken and rice. Exquisite food with magical flavors. The owner came to greet us and the service was very friendly. If we come back to Basilea, we will go back there again!

    Very homely. Food super yummy, very friendly service. Try the Onagi (eel) Don and Char Siu Ramen. We came here 4 times in a row for dinner. Have tried 2 other restaurants. This is the most authentic for Japanese/ Chinese food. Will definitely Co.e back here. Thanks for the nice experience!

    As a client who unfortunately cannot eat fibre and vegetables a dumpling / noodle restaurant seemed ideal.When politely requested that the vegetables were put to the side it was ignored.The owner came and lectured on the health benefits of vegetables and certainly took no care of his clients restricted diet. After agreeing to have rice replaced with plain noodles we didn't expect to be charged a substantial amount for the substitution.All in all an unpleasant experience and I certainly cannot recommend this restaurant at all.The meals were not value and the service unpleasant.

    Great quality and price. Really tasty food and very friendly staff. Best spring roll I've ever had, and the chicken kaarage was very nicely done. Will definitely come back when I visit Basel next! Please go support 🙂 One caveat is that it gets quite hot eating inside. I'd love to stay for longer try different dishes, but it was hot. Also feel sorry for the staff all dressed in black and long trousers....! Adding a fan would br great, if possible. :)

    Was pleasantly surprised to find this restaurant, I think this is the best ramen in Basel! The environment is comfortable and the taste is great. We ordered different flavors of ramen and eel rice, all very delicious. Highly recommended to try.

    The bao buns are great. Beef rolls too. We split the spicy udon noodle dish. We added a sprinkle more heat. Delicious. Excellent service and great atmosphere

    Wooow! It’s so tasty! We went there for dinner after attending the fair and it was clearly the cherry on the cake after a successful day! Very nice waiters, employees, cooks! We loved every second and every bite!
