I came here to my birthday dinner and was excited until I read some reviews that it was overpriced Asian fusion food. The restaurant is a bit hidden and there are only street parking available (good luck finding something... . The interior of the restaurant is black thematic tables, curtains, etc. The music is more striking like hip hop, so not as relaxing, but still good. The menu changes and there were 9 options (including 1 Dessert option). We chose the surprise menu, thought it would be different than the 9 options on the menu (it was not . Make a favor and DONT order the surprise menu and order the things you actually want. 4 of the 6 surprising menu plates were vegetarian. We also saved 4 CHF for the surprise menu. The table next to us saved 1 CHF. A good thing about the menu is that they put all food allergies or make the dish vegan / vegetarian if you wish. But I find it somewhat steep to charge the 75 CHF per person for a vegetarian meal against a meal with meat... The portions were smaller (I left hunger and I am a petite woman and shared half of the dishes with a man. The first court was the carrot bark, which was surprisingly good. The 2nd dish was the baked Beetroot salad, which consisted of Chinese cabbage, plucked radishes, baked beet, with a Ponzu sauce (but it tasted more than it was made with Calamansi instead of lemons or limes. The third dish was not potatoes from radishes that were good, but not sure if it was worth this price. The 4th court for us was the wrong salmon (our neighbours had the drawn oxtail as I preferred it no Mayo). This was also good, but would have preferred the salmon to be medium rarer or medium, as it then had more texture. The miso marinade is very easy so you don't taste it much. The story was good. The 5th court was the pho style beef. I think this was the most disappointing court. First it was sieve meat, which is the cheapest of beef cuts. The Wasabi they threw up was much too exaggerated. The broth concentrate underneath it was there to call it “pho style”. There was an emptying up (har go wrapper with bone marrow (not so much inside). Before we got the last dish, the waitress was literally wiped off the table with a wet rage. Not sure why this was necessary because you could smell the cleaner product directly before you get Dessert. The last dish was the only dessert option that was a pandan cream with chocolate crunch and cans pears on the ground. Do not waste your time or money on the wines and stay at the cocktails. All in all, it was a ok experience. As the others said, it was overpriced. I'm hungry too. Not sure I'd come back.

My new favorite place. Simple but amazing tasting menu, for a great price. I've gone several times and can't recommend it anymore. Cocktails are also on site! Definitely get the wrong salmon, best cooked salmon I ever had!

Food was very good, price was rather high, cutlery is only available upon request, otherwise chopsticks, modern, you save on the frills, table to table, upscale prices

Went out for a birthday dinner and was looking forward to a great meal. Unfortunately we had to wait over 1.5hrs for all our food to be served. The food itself was good but very small portions and expensive. Explained to the staff that we were disappointed in the time it took for the food to come out no apology given. Overall feel that if the food had all come out together in a reasonable time or the staff had at least apologised then we wouldn’t have left so disappointed. Both still hungry and 200. spent.

Beni and his team deliver one of the best Asian fusion cuisine that we’ve tasted. This guy never misses, the seasoning on each dish is spot on and you just crave for the next plate to arrive cool and attentive service, nice wines, great playlist in the background… life. Bravo KIN ‍
