1. AMY’S Fine Asian Kitchen
Website: https://www.amyskitchen.ch/
Address: Flurstrasse 4
Contact: +41 44 592 66 86 / +41 76 445 40 08 | [email protected]
Hours: Monday-Friday: 11:30 AM-2:00 PM, 6:00 PM-10:00 PM
A quick midday meal often means settling for a sad sandwich at your desk. Workers can break that cycle at AMY’S Fine Asian Kitchen, where a fresh Bangkok-style lunch buffet offers traditional herbs and spices.
That setup lets you load up on authentic flavours and get back to the office on time.
Preeya leads the kitchen, supported by an all-female team drawing on Thai regional cooking traditions, from northeastern Thailand to the south.
A colleague of mine brought back their takeaway lunch last week and praised how crisp the vegetables tasted.
Plus, their evening service shifts to a fine-dining approach, which food enthusiasts will appreciate for the refined presentation and dedicated vegetarian options.
The catch is the deliberately small evening menu, so you have fewer choices than a massive traditional kitchen. They also close entirely on weekends, so you have to satisfy your cravings Monday to Friday.

My favourite Thai restaurant in Zurich
We had the best Thai food in a long time (green and red curry). It was perfect. The lady serving us was so nice and attentive. We also walked in without a reservation and she was able to accommodate 3 of us. The atmosphere was quiet but really chilled and perfect for chatting with friends. All in all, a great place to eat. It is now my favourite Thai restaurant in Zurich!

One of the best Thai food I had in Zurich
one of the best Thai food I had in Zurich. Operated by very lovely Thai ladies, they are so nice. We ordered Pad Thai prawn (huge prawns), and crispy pork with Chinese broccoli – very nice. We also had coconut ice cream and mango sticky rice as well.

Choosing the right spice level for a group can be tricky, especially when everyone has a different tolerance for heat. The good news: Thairestaurant Suwannaphum lets you choose how spicy you want your dishes.
Head chef Saythong Schmied personally runs the kitchen. The restaurant offers plenty of vegetarian options and weekend specials like Khao Soi curry noodles.
They also offer a weekday all-you-can-eat lunch buffet for CHF 20.50, including a non-alcoholic drink. This makes it easier to plan your lunch budget without worrying about extra drink costs.
The dining room even adds to the experience with carved figures and lanterns that create a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
One thing to note is that you’ll also need to call to reserve a table, and the restaurant doesn’t serve on Wednesday evenings or Sundays.

The best Thai restaurant in Zurich
The best Thai restaurant in Zurich and our absolute favorite for over five years!
My wife and our two children love coming here for meals and always receive very friendly and professional service. The curries are incredibly delicious, and everything is freshly prepared; even the spring rolls!

Authentic Thai cuisine that can be ordered spicy to very spicy
Delicious Thai specialties at very good prices. Very friendly service and top-notch service throughout.
Here you’ll find authentic Thai cuisine that can be ordered spicy to very spicy, depending on your preference.
There is ample parking behind the building, and a lovely terrace invites you to linger in the summer.

3. Vee’s Bistro
Website: https://www.veesbistro.ch/
Address: Alfred-Escher-Strasse 11
Contact: +41 44 201 44 90 | [email protected]
Hours: Mon-Fri 11:30 AM-2:00 PM & 5:30 PM-10:00 PM, Sat 5:30 PM-10:00 PM (groups on request)
Vee’s Bistro offers three set menus inspired by Northern, Central, and Southern Thailand. This gives guests a chance to explore regional favourites like Chiang Mai sausage and Hang Le curry without guessing what to order.
The kitchen prepares every wok dish fresh, and guests can choose their preferred protein from options like duck breast and Thai tofu.
The restaurant is also just a three-minute walk from Enge railway station, making it a convenient spot for business meals.
However, the restaurant is closed on Sundays. If you’re craving something different that day, you might want to check out local dim sum restaurants.
Also, keep in mind that they have a minimum spend of CHF 24 for lunch and CHF 33 for dinner.
Another thing to note: solo diners can’t order the regional set menus, but couples can enjoy the full multi-course experience.

This is the best Thai restaurant in Zurich!
This is the best Thai restaurant in Zurich! The attention to detail is reflected in its well-prepared dishes and the ambiance of the dining place. Great service too. So happy I found this in Zurich after many years here as a resident.

Captured that explosive feeling
I really enjoyed this restaurant, having recently traveled to Bangkok. I was in search for something spicy and zesty that captured that explosive feeling of getting freshly fried crispy pork belly off the streets of a Thai city and they really knocked it out of the park. Service was brusque and fast but kind.

4. Spoon Schiffbau
Website: https://www.spoonthaikitchen.ch/schiffbau
Address: Schiffbaustrasse 3
Contact: +41 44 242 00 33 | [email protected]
Hours: Monday-Friday: 11:00 AM-2:00 PM
Spoon Schiffbau was founded by two sisters-in-law with culinary roots in Thailand’s Isaan region, bringing authentic northeastern flavours to Zurich.
Here, they offer a fresh selection of Thai dishes served every weekday. This variety gives regular lunch guests something new to look forward to.
For larger groups, they also provide customised catering for gatherings of 35 people or more. They even offer gift vouchers that can be used across all five city branches, which is handy if you want to share the experience with friends or colleagues.
However, this branch only serves lunch from Monday to Friday, so you can’t book a table for dinner or a weekend meal.

Make the best curry in Switzerland
I and all my colleagues who visit on a weekly basis (sometimes more than once!) just absolutely adore this place. Super nice service and the food is outstanding. Unfortunately they run out quickly on the vegetarian options, which I can of course understand given the taste of the food Spoon Thai Bistro sells. We think they make the best curry in Switzerland – haven’t tasted a better one anywhere else, that’s for sure! Keep it up! btw, there’s usually a line-up around 12ish. Avoid the crowd by going real early or around 12:45.

Authentic Thai flavours with quick and cheerful service
I recently had lunch here, and it was fantastic! The service was lightning-fast, and the staff were super friendly. They have a great variety of dishes to choose from, and the food is genuinely spicy—not Swiss “spicy.” If you’re craving authentic Thai flavours with quick and cheerful service, this place is a must-try!

5. Tamnansiam Thai Restaurant
Website: https://www.tam-nan-siam-thai-restaurant.ch/

Contact: +41 44 431 04 96 | [email protected]
Hours:
- Mon 11:00 AM-2:30 PM
- Tue-Thu 11:00 AM-2:30 PM & 5:00 PM-10:00 PM

- Sat 5:00 PM-10:00 PM
- Sun 12:00 PM-10:00 PM
Finding enough space for a big birthday dinner in the city can be a real challenge. Fortunately, Tamnansiam Thai Restaurant makes it easier by accommodating up to 65 guests indoors and another 50 on their terrace.
One client we spoke with recently visited the dining room and was genuinely surprised by how comfortably the restaurant handles large groups.
Food-wise, they offer a variety of dishes, including crispy fish and duck specialities on select days. They have plenty of vegan and vegetarian options, too.
Plus, they’re open even on Sundays, which is a big advantage since many places in the area don’t.
Just keep in mind that drinks aren’t included in the weekday lunch buffet, so they can add to your total bill.
Additionally, they don’t serve dinner on Mondays or lunch on Saturdays.

The most authentic Thai restaurant in Zurich
My friends tell me this is the most authentic Thai restaurant in Zurich; regardless of that, it for sure is one of the best I’ve ever been to. Good was delicious, and the friendly staff really listens to your wishes. For me, they were able to make a menu that was toned down in spiciness.

Genuinely felt like we had been transported to Thailand
Excellent food and truly authentic Thai cuisine. During our dinner, it genuinely felt like we had been transported to Thailand.
The portions are generous, the prices are very reasonable, and the quality of the food is outstanding.
The terrace is the perfect place to enjoy a warm summer evening.
Thank you—we’ll definitely be back! 🙏😋
