My favourite Sushi restaurant ?? Qirin stands out with its exquisite blend of traditional and modern dining. The ambiance and service instantly set a high standard, welcoming guests warmly. Its menu shines with fresh, flavorful sushi and inventive dishes. The attentive staff ensures every visit feels special, making Qirin not just a meal, but an experience to cherish. A definitive must-visit .
My expectations when it comes to sushi are always high and it is important sushi that it is relatively authentic, high quality and not too over engineered. Qirin definitely delivered in taste and presentation and the restaurant itself and the staff is very nice so it was a very pleasant experience overall. My favorite sushi rolls are with either salmon or tuna and the fried rolls are also worth a try.
The octopus is very very nice. The sushi in general is also very good, especially the California rolls! They also have a good selection of beverages.
One of the very best sushi restaurants in Zürich in my opinion. From the sushi basics to some fancy creations of their own, they really do everything well. Great flavours, great ingredients and friendly staff. The only thing I can say is that they were slightly understaffed when we visited. Will visit again regardless ☺️
One of the most underrated Sushi Restaurants in the area of Zurich! We have visited the Qirin a couple of times and always enjoyed the experience ✨ It‘s only 5 mins by foot from Altstetten train station, but expect to pay Zurich prices. The seafood is insanely fresh and the sushi plating is very appealing. We highly recommend the Tempura rolls, the Nigiri and the Udon Noodles with duck. To our disappointment, the Octopus Karaage was slightly overfried and chewy. In addition, the service personel seemed inattentive and the interior design was a bit too dark for our liking. All in all, we look forward to visiting the Qirin again ??
