PLOY THAI RESTAURANT HONGBIN - Zürich

Takes too long before lunch. Portions rather small.

We ate here because of the good reviews and a voucher. The good first: The service was very accommodating and friendly, thank you for the hot extra sauce we received. To eat: The satai skewers were quite ok and we were prepared for a cozy, authentic Thai evening. But then the green curry came and it was anything but authentic. The vegetable bouquet consisted of a ready-to-cut, rustic vegetable mix from the freezer. The ready-made mixture was “refined” with 1-2 threads of lemongrass and 2 gutted, not at all spicy chilies (we ordered sheep 4 out of 4). The vegetables, or rather the entire dish, were seasoned with so much sugar that we had to leave the vegetables behind and just picked out the meat. Components such as Thai eggplant or Thai peas (pea eggplant) were completely missing. Instead, zucchini, carrots and beans en masse. Ventilation Conclusion: Unfortunately, as in many small restaurants, the ventilation in the kitchen was virtually non-existent, so we are now sitting at home, smelling like freshly fried food and still have a sugar coating in our mouths. We are slightly disturbed by the visit to the restaurant and seriously ask where exactly were the people in Thailand who reported authentic Thai food in this restaurant in their experiences reviews?

Small, very cozy restaurant. Food great and service super friendly!!

We had the restaurant to ourselves. The service is super friendly and the food is great.
