After reading the reviews on Trip Advisor we were not sure weather to follow the adviise of the concierge and eat at Ban Song Thai. Since they had been right to a tee on 4 restaurants in 4 nights...we decided to go. It was a wonderful meal!! Rudy, the owner, welcomed us and made excellent recommendations. We loved every bite....

The restaurant is quite small but has a warm, cozy and romantic atmosphere. Being in the center of Zurich makes this a good location. However, the food was only average and did not provide a great value for money.

We arrived quite late, for Zürich standards, so we were not able to order exactly what we wanted. But that wasn't necessarily a bad thing as it forced me to be adventurous and it was excellent. Great tasting, top quality Thai food. Expensive of course...its Zürich!

Perfect location (in the heart of Zurich, easily accessible by public transport) but very small (they can hardly accommodate more than 3 people at the same table). Although a little loud, the atmosphere was not at all as disagreeable as I read in some TripAdvisor reviews. In fact, I found it quite romantic. The food was good but not spectacular,... More

The menu was fairly extensive and the food was fine but nothing remarkable or unusual. The prices were steep, compared to a similar restaurant in London.

Ban Song Thai I visited on Valentine's day for the lunch buffet. This was a return visit since my first try last September. The food and service continues to excell in every aspect. On offer today was an excellent coconut soup with chicken and mushrooms. There was a seafood (shrimp, prawns) platter amoungst the other selections of beef, chicken, noodles,... More

We went here after reading great reviews on TA, and were not disappointed. We felt that all the dishes ordered were really delicious, authentic Thai cuisine. Better than most of the Thai food we enjoyed on a recent trip to that country. The red curry chicken with eggplant was particularly well prepared, with a superb curry sauce. The green papaya... More

Dear thetraveldoc Thank you very much for your contribution on Trip advisor. It is hard for me to read that serving you water has been denied. I’m very sorry and apologize on behalf of our staff. We do have the policy to charge Sfr. 3.-- for a 5 dl carafe of water. But only to customers who do not order... More

I am a big fan of Thai cuisine. In my opinion, this place is doing it properly. No MSG is added, they use partially organic products (like beef and tofu), but all of them are very good quality. We ordered a beef dish (nua phad nam man hoi) and chicken noodle (phad thai) and liked both of them very much.... More

My wife and I enjoyed a lovely Thai food diner at this little but cosy restaurant hidden in the old town of Zurich. The service is very polite and professional. The food is excellent and we liked the open red wine choice (very moderately priced). For us it is the best Thai restaurant in Zurich. Please do not forget to... More
