Shin

Best restaurant in town! If you are looking for an authentic super high quality EXPERIENCE this is the place! So much respect for the art and passion of the great owner and the team! Thanks for an amazing Saturday night. Felt like being in Japan

Edit based on response: Left a well thought out review and "team shin" ignores and tries to disparage reviewers. Embarrassing.

It was a disappointing experience that left me questioning the Michelin guide's judgment. The taste and quality of the sushi fell far short of the expectations associated with such a prestigious accolade.

From the moment I arrived, it was evident that something was amiss. The atmosphere was pleasant, but the lack of attention to detail in the dishes was glaring. Sushi, often celebrated for its delicate balance of flavors and textures, felt uninspired and lacked the finesse I expected. Even, easy to deliver pieces were a let down.

One of the most disheartening aspects of the evening was the owner's involvement in explaining the dishes. It became apparent that the owner lacked the deep understanding of the food, leaving me yearning for insights from the chef, who should have been the true star of the evening.

Unfortunately, my experience is not unique, as I've come across similar sentiments from fellow diners and reviewers. This experience has shaken my faith in the Michelin guide, as it seems they may have awarded stars to establishments that are no longer deserving.

In conclusion, it was a letdown in terms of taste, quality, and overall experience, and it has made me reevaluate the credibility of Michelin ratings. I believe the owner should consider allowing the chef to shine and focus on refining the culinary offerings, decor, and drink options to regain their reputation.

Honestly - I don't understand the negative reviews. Zurich isn't known for good quality food but I've had Japanese food everywhere across the world, including Japan and this was one of the best Japanese meals I've ever had. Warm, friendly and kind service, delicious and beautiful food,. The atmosphere and restaurant is gorgeous. Hands-down my favourite restaurant in Zurich. Would give it 6 stars if I could.

Chef is great. Fresh fish and other materials. The course follows a good order with decent plates. The location is center center. Great experience there highly recommended- perfectly splendid.

Amazing Restaurant and experience! Was there with my wife in the beginning of 2023, felt like I was being received in Lin’s home, we got there and sitted on the counter, chatted for a few moments while the chef was preparing everything, got a recommendation on an amazing sake and then started the Omakase. Amazing and fresh fish, awesome presentation. For sure one of the best sushis I had! Can’t wait to be back :)

Stilvolle Präsentation der einzelnen Gänge, die uns auch geschmacklich begeistert haben. Jeder Gang war qualitativ hochstehend und von sehr feinen Geschmacksnuancen. Ein absolutes Highlight, das den beachtlichen Preis in jeder Hinsicht Wert ist.

This place is incredible. We did the counter omakase. Each dish was incredibly well-throughout. The owner was very hospitable, and welcoming. The chefs creations were delicious and exquisite. I would highly recommend to anyone to make a reservation here to dine for the true Japanese omakase experience.

Absolutely amazing Omakase experience in the heart of Zürich.

The chef takes centre-stage behind the counter, where he carefully compacts glistening grains of rice—firm and a notch warmer than room temperature, exactly as it should be—and tops them with shimmering slivers of fish. Each nigiri is finished with a dab of soy, a sprinkling of sea salt or a flame from a blowtorch

You’ll also be given an exemplary miso soup, served in a dainty teacup

Meanwhile, the charming owner, Lin, is on hand to guide you through the sake and wine lists.

You manage to find yourself in a little corner of Japan in the heart of Zürich.
