| | | Sushi time! I love to try new food. Every country has its own goodies and it's amazing. Altho I do have a *taste* and even tho I like to experiment and try new meals, I order my favourites. Swiss food is different too and I do like it. But I have my Own Menu and the top goes for Sushi. I've tried it first in London, then Italy, also in Latvia - and they all were different but good. *BUT* I had to share my bad experience with the ones I had recently here,near Rebstein. I don't remember the name of the restaurant, but many people go there and they sell not only Japanese but also Chinese dishes. I've asked few times how is the food there and never heard any complain. SO... I went in,ordered my favorite Sushi and ... The rice was all sticky and chewy and had a very weird sour taste. The colour also wasn't white. The fish was old and tasteless. One of the Sushi pieces made me giggle and cry at the same time - it was a bunch of rice hold with some sort of leave ( that didn't belong there ) and a FULL CRAB STICK. The one that you buy in a supermarket for very very cheap. And it was YELLOW. Yellow not because it HAS to be like that, but YELLOW as in Kept-in-the-fridge / BAD yellow I was not alone and another person that had the same as me didn't say a word. I guess this is the only Sushi he ever had in his life and he couldn't tell the difference.Which is sad. Question is - Where do you get Your sushi?? And is it popular here?? Thank you for reading and sharing

I find all seafood pretty tasteless here. As previously suggested, landlocked country.... no fresh fish...
Might also be a fault of living in Nth Queensland on the Great Barrier Reef for many years. Absolutely spoilt....

Switzerland is closer to the ocean than most of the US! (and many other countries).

I've eaten at just about all of them here in Zurich. As well as being way overpriced they are also not so good. I even went to one and did a sushi making course.
If I were you and craved it immensely, as I also do from time to time, especially when hungover, just make it yourself. It's quite time consuming but relatively cheap as the rice vinegar, seaweed, wasabi, soy etc will make a heap of sushi rolls....

Well, then I'll have to try and learn myself how to make them
Thank you | Quote: | |  | | | As it states above, YOU left it on the plate.......were your'll sharing a plate.....nevermind........ | | | | | Everybody had their own plates with their own stuff ( me and another guy had sushi ) . So he ate his own , including the ugly yellow one ( he had one too ) and I left mine.
Sorry for misunderstanding

I've never had Sushi here in Switzerland because... well, Chinese or any Asian food is unbelievably expensive. I don't want to know what Sushi would cost! I've had Sushi in Feldkirch (Austria on the boarder) at a place called Restaurant Wok http://www.restaurant-wok.com/ and in Konstanz on the other side of the Bodensee... my favorite buffet is (I believe evenings they also have sushi) Shunfeng http://shunfeng.de/ ... Mmmm sushi!

Best Sushi I had in Switzerland is in Luzern. The fish is delivered fresh daily, and what they don't sell, they chuck at the end of evening service.
