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 :)

We did not know what to expect reading the mixed reviews.

It is admittedly expensive, but it is Zurich and very premium experience. Each piece of food was fantastic, we needed to repeat 3 courses how good they were. We loved the chef and young service lady who made the experience very nice.

Do not expect traditional „french“ style fine dining routine. It is about the amazing food and do not come if you are not ready to pay the price for high quality food and drinks.

Oh how should I begin this one…. I never had such an experience in any Michelin stars restaurant before; and believe me, between Thailand, Singapore and EU, I’ve been to many ( Possibly as many as 45). That’s saying something! As of February, 2023, I’ve had Approximately reviewed 200 restaurants on google and none is as bad as this (service wise).

First off we got there at 6.30 (the time of our reservation). We were told by the lady owner that we were late, as she has emailed us that she changed our reservation time to 6.10 (that’s an odd time considering that the restaurant has not open for business yet). Ok, so a rough start.

So this restaurant has 8 seats at the sushi bar and five tables. I was like ok? Why do you need tables at Omakase restaurant, maybe it’s for A la Carte. I don’t know. But I’ll soon find out. So once we were sat at the sushi bar, the food started coming. I would say that the courses were well placed and paced; as to be expected from restaurant of this calibre. However, when we got to the 13 out of our 16 courses, the lady owner promptly kicked us out of the sushi bar to the table…. I was left puzzled. Who does that?; let alone Michelin star restaurant. We ate the remaining of our food at the table covered with some art paper. Not exactly Michelin star is it?

So why the two stars? The food was undeniably good, so I have to be fair to the Japanese (who was very polite and friendly. He was the reason why this establishment get the star in the first place). And the other star was for the waiter, which was a young Swiss gentleman who tried his best to serve the customers.

As for The lady owner, well she isn’t a bad person or anything. However, I don’t think she’s right for the hospitality industry. She has no understanding whatsoever how to serve a customer, let alone this kind of Omakase dinning. She tries too hard to sell customers drinks and alcohol. She also only focused on those who ordered alcohol and she missed the part that every customer has the right to enjoy the evening. And I saw the owner reply to one review with a threatening message to take legal action? I mean that’s  not a great idea. You should take the criticisms and improve on it. You are on the right path, you have great chef, great food and great waiter. You just need to focus on improving the customer experience. Sometimes, it isn’t about maximizing the profit. If you think you cannot finish the courses on time before the second serving, do something about it; perhaps hire more staff or extend the business hours. Removing the customers from the sushi bar isn’t the ideal solution. Worse yet, blaming the customer for being late when they weren’t was another horrible solution.

Overall
Food - Great
Hospitality - Poor
Recommendation - Definitely not

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of dining at Shin, and I have to say that it was an exceptional culinary experience.

The omakase menu at this restaurant is a true masterpiece, with each course carefully crafted and presented with the utmost attention to detail. The chef and his team take great pride in their craft, and it shows in every bite. Also, Lynn the owner of Shin is great person that without exception knows how to make their guests feel welcome.

Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant as it was by far the best Sushi experience I had in Switzerland. The food is truly top-notch, and the atmosphere and service are equally impressive. The only thing that is unfortunate is that I didn‘t discover Shin earlier. Will definitely come back as often as I can.

Down below I have added some of yesterday‘s pieces.
