Shinsen

This is a cool place that I heard is a sushi «factory» but they have a lot of seating inside and outside the place with all glass «windows» into the kitchen. I think they must’ve sectioned off a piece of the factory space to make a restaurant and an outdoor deck. Decent sushi but the fish to rice ratio is off and I was left feeling very full on sushi rice. Also the portion and variety of fish you get for paying CHF 11.50 MORE than a Sushi Moriawase at Samurai (which is CHF 28) is pretty abysmal. What saves this place from getting a total crap review from me is that we got a Yamakake donburi which had tuna in ahi poke form (sans the typical poke seasoning) and it not only came w a poached egg but there was an abundance of tuna to make it worth the 19.50 price tag (for Zürich prices that is). Although it lacked flavor (if you get poke in California or Hawaii, it certainly does not lack flavor), we added some wasabi and soy sauce.
I’ve posted a picture of the menu so you’ll see that the prices for maki rolls or the appetizers aren’t worth it but I’m tempted to try the other 2 donburi (katsu don and ikura shake don). If I’m in a bind, this place is closer than Samurai so I’ll go but otherwise, it’s just ok and not worth travel to try to it.

This place is very well hidden, only a 5 minute stroll from Sihlcity. It actually houses the sushi factory production — they make almost all of the sushi products that is sold in the Coop supermarket chains.
Thus, the sushi here has a high turnover rate and is quite fresh. The interior is ok, more casual and you can actually look into the sushi factory. A bit strange, ok to come with your friends for a cheap and cheery sushi meal — but keeping in mind this is a Westernized sushi place and nothing equivalent to the more Eastern experience at places like Samurai in the city.
If you are around Sihlcity and crave sushi at a cheap and cheery place, I’d recommend this place. Also the sashimi is pretty fresh here and decently priced as well.

Hidden sushi restaurant/​take-​away in a modern commercial neighborhood. The lack of pretension might make you forget that you’re in Zurich and the prices aren’t terrible either.
This was a very good find and I would recommend it for an easy night out with friends, although the service is a bit slow because their main business appears to be the catering service that is done in the gigantic kitchen/​warehouse space.

I’ve been to this place twice. Supposedly it’s a gourmet sushi factory that supplies to the trendy Ginger restaurant on Seefeld. However, the sushi failed to impress me. It’s was ok, but nothing to rave about.
I’ve been to Ginger once before, too, but I don’t know if the sushi there lived up to the hype, either. Perhaps I was expecting too much. Or I was having indigestion from freaking out at the high (but typical) Zürich prices.
Anyway, the highlight of my meal was trying something new called Daifuku – which turned out to be a mislabeled Sakuramochi. It was cute and pink and covered with a leaf of sakura (cherry blossom). And yummy, too! :)

Friendly service. Interesting concept.
Takes a bit until you get your order.

Hatte Sushi Medium, war echt lecker! Tolle Qulität
