Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"I like their food taste, not overwhelming, not bland just the exact amount of good cooking. I ate here for 2 days in a row, today i tried their soup with char su, all good, a perfect balance of taste and authentic chinese cuisine."
"Hidden gem , amazing restaurant , fast service , good food. Great location. Never left disappointed and been there twice. Very authentic. Can't wait to come back! Only thing I wouldnsuggest to the owner is please have a 2nd or 3rd dessert option. The Mochi could be better though I didn't the hazelnut."
"I was a bit skeptical at first because I didn’t see a lot of people inside. But the food was really good and authentic. I ordered spicy wonton and fried rice. Tbh, the prices are also reasonable for what they offer and the service is excellent. Definitely recommend this place if you’re craving Chinese food."
"My daughter and I stumbled upon this place and it was one of my most delicious meals ever! We both ate every single bit. I got a house dish with the biggest most perfectly cooked shrimp. A must go place that’s so cute and got a nice authentic menu."
"A fantastic experience from start to finish! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a smile, which instantly made me feel welcome. The service was truly great, and it was a huge plus that the staff spoke excellent English, making ordering a breeze. I ordered the prawn tempura and the black pepper beef with rice. Both dishes arrived pretty quickly and were absolutely delicious! The prawns were perfectly crispy, and the black pepper beef had just the right amount of kick. All in all, it was a really good experience, and I'll definitely be back again soon!"
"I came here with my boyfriend, we were craving Chinese food and this place was nearby, it was our first time eating Cantonese food and we were very surprised, we got 2 soups and chicken sate to share as starter. The sate was delicious, crispy well seasoned and the sauce was creamy nutty and had a sweet spicy flavor, the ingredients where fresh and the taste was good, it was comforting to eat although the noodles were a bit hard and the soup a bit plain. But it was good, I could definitely eat here again."
"My wife and I have travelled for 1 month in Swiss. We have tried many Chinese restaurants. In Zurich, we have dined 3 times at Long Wai. The dishes we have tried are very good, not too sweet or salty according to Cantonese food standard. The most important thing is we don't feel thirsty after dinner due to strong msg used by some Chinese restaurants. To us, this chef's cooking is good, the service is good and the dishes are value for money, chicken and beef are quite fresh. This restaurant is much better than those in Interlaken."
"Even tho most "Americanized-Chinese" Foods are based on Cantonese Cuisine, this one actually tastes authentic!!!! Love that the Char Siu Pork is served traditionally with pak choi just like in HK. The Oink Oink was tender and the Quack Quack still juicy! Definitely coming back for more! Recommend anyone who loves Cantonese food to come here"
