Restaurant Nua | the dumpling spirit — Restaurant in Basel

Summary: for the Asian buns worth a visit, the rest of the menu was disappointing; really friendly service and easy atmosphere

Dishes (- negative / = ok / + positive): Vegetable gyoza: bland just nothing special; nice dip sauce bun with beef: excellent = Raclette spring rolls: just ok, not a must-have pad Thai in omelette: noodles overcooked tuna tataki (raw tuna briefly roasted on the outside): the fish was way too cold nearly causing a brain freeze :) Even though tataki is briefly roasted on the outside; overall bland taste Same veggies (kraut) are used in several dishes; matching veggies for each dish would be nicer

Price: mostly good price for value 10 CHF for only two gyoza with vegetables is too pricey

Atmosphere: easy going relaxed atmosphere; several large tables for 6 or even...
