The sushi was excellent as always. However, the service this time was very slow and inattentive. A real shame, it detracted from the overall sushi experience!

"Top-notch sushi right in the heart of the Niederdorf! The quality of the ingredients is outstanding, everything is freshly prepared and beautifully presented. The service was very friendly, attentive, and uncomplicated. Add to that the cozy atmosphere and perfect location in the heart of Zurich. Whether for a relaxed evening, an aperitif, or simply really good sushi – Barfüsser is always a great choice. We'll definitely be back!"

Both the miso soup and the crispy garden roll were very good, thank you so much! :)

The service was very slow and inattentive, and it's a shame that nobody speaks German in Zurich.
