Don't worry Moran, there's plenty of sushi around, much of it good. There seems to be a split here between very traditional, straight-forward sushi and more innovative restaurants. I imagine you're used to the later style more than the former. Most places have high quality, fresh fish. You just pay for the transport costs! Ginger is indeed the best I've had in Zurich. Here are some others.


Picnic (near the Rennweg tram stop on Bahnhofstr) has a sushi bar and take-away trays. It's great for lunch. I believe it's run by the same team that does Ginger. Has a loyal customer base, though we miss one of the old chefs who has moved on.

Blue Note (Stockerstr.) is always fresh and tasty.

Isakaya (near the Hbf) is very traditional and high quality. Won't find as many imaginative offerings here.

The restaurant (Satori?) at the corner of Alfred-Escherstr. and Gen.-Williestr. (near the Rentananstalt tram stop) is very good as well. It's small, but isn't very busy at night since it serves a big lunch crowd.

Sushi bar on Bleicherweg at the Stockerstrasse tram stop - give it a miss. Quality varies too much. Variety doesn't.
