Chin Chin Brasserie Zurich offers a vibrant mix of Asian-inspired small plates in a sleek, modern setting right in the heart of the city. Here’s what stood out on my recent visit:
Ambiance • Trendy décor with dark woods, brass accents, and moody lighting—perfect for an after-work drink or a casual date night. • Comfortable banquettes and an open bar area give the space a lively, social feel without ever getting too loud.
Food • Crispy Chicken Bao: Pillowy buns filled with tender, spiced chicken and fresh slaw—light yet satisfying. • Tuna Tataki: Delicately seared tuna served with ponzu, sesame seeds, and radish—clean, bright flavors. • Gyoza Dumplings: Pan-fried to golden perfection, with a juicy pork-and-vegetable filling and a tangy dipping sauce. • Stir-Fried Udon Noodles: Chewy noodles tossed with shiitake mushrooms, baby corn, and a savory soy-garlic glaze—comfort food done right.
Drinks • Cocktail menu features creative twists on classics: the “Chin Chin Spritz” (yuzu, prosecco, elderflower) was refreshing and well balanced. • Good selection of sake, Japanese whiskies, and craft beers to suit every taste.
Service • Attentive and friendly staff who were happy to explain menu items and offer pairing suggestions. Plates arrived quickly, even during a fairly busy Friday evening.
Value • Prices are on par with other mid-to-upscale spots in downtown Zurich. Expect to pay around CHF 60–80 per person if you sample a few starters, a main, and a drink.
Summary Chin Chin Brasserie Zurich nails the combination of stylish atmosphere, inventive small plates, and solid drink options. It’s ideal for groups who want to share and graze, or anyone looking to explore Asian-fusion flavors in a contemporary Swiss setting. Highly recommend making a reservation...
Read moreWhile strolling through the Seefeld area of Zurich on a Saturday, we found ourselves hungry and decided to stop by Co Chin Chin Brasserie on a whim — and what a delightful discovery it was.
The ambiance is absolutely beautiful, transporting you straight into the French colonial era of Vietnam. From the elegant decor to the gentle background music at just the right volume, the atmosphere was warm and inviting.
The food was equally impressive. We started with summer rolls, followed by Bo La Lot and Bo Xao Rau Muong, and ended with a piece of cheesecake. Each dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor — fresh, vibrant, and truly delicious.
A little tip: if you’re not very familiar with Vietnamese cuisine and feel a bit overwhelmed by the menu, I suggest starting with the “Entrée” and “Plats” sections. You’ll likely find something appealing there before diving deeper into the rest of the offerings.
We arrived just before noon, and by around 1 PM the restaurant was already quite busy. If you’re planning to come during peak lunchtime, it’s a good idea to make a...

The food was amazing, we had for starters „Goi cuon“ and „banh cuon“. Goi cuon was good - standard but nothing that surprises you. A good starter to get an idea about the different sommer roles. Goi cuon was exceptionally good. We all really loved it! I would go for that again.
As main dishes, we enjoyed „Bo bun“, „suon bo ham“ & „bo la lot“. Bo bun was a solid standard dish. Good! Suon bo ham was great tastewise. A lot of rice though. We loved the bo la lot. The mustard leave makes it exceptionally tasteful.
I love the ambience in this restaurant. Really love the indochine style, the hanging plants and the well thought interior design. At our table it was a bit loud. This might be because we were in the middle of the room and this might be different at another table.
Will visit again.
Thank you, co chin chin for the...
