The restaurant has a great atmosphere from the beautiful interior design and friendly staff which is great. The reason as to why only 3 stars were given is because we found the food to be bland and not authentic. However most likely the Vietnamese cuisine has been adapted to fit the local palette.

After enjoying a delightful bowl of ramen for lunch yesterday, I felt inspired to explore another facet of Asian cuisine. I initially set my sights on finding a Malaysian restaurant, but to my surprise, there were very few options in Zurich. Most of the highly-rated establishments opened at 5 PM, which didn’t fit into my lunchtime schedule. Undeterred, I shifted my focus to Chinese restaurants. However, after browsing through more than ten different places, I still couldn’t find one that piqued my interest. It was then that I broadened my search to encompass all Asian restaurants, and that’s when I stumbled upon Co Chin Chin. It was a 37-minute walk from my hotel, but my determination to try a steaming bowl of Vietnamese chicken broth soup noodles propelled me forward. Upon my arrival, I noticed the restaurant was bustling with activity. The hostess kindly informed me that they were fully booked but graciously offered to make space for me. This warm gesture was a lovely touch and set a positive tone for my visit. Being solo, I was limited in my ordering, so I opted for the steamed rice roll with pork, along with a bowl of "canh miến gà", an aromatic Vietnamese chicken soup with glass noodles. Both dishes were bursting with flavor and offered the comforting warmth I craved on a chilly day. The two servers attending to my area were not only friendly but also spoke excellent English, making it easy to communicate. They were refreshingly unpretentious and clearly hard-working, which added to the welcoming atmosphere of the restaurant. When I inquired about Fanta orange, one of the servers (who appeared to be Vietnamese) told me it wasn’t on the menu, but they kept some for staff members. To my delight, she offered me a bottle of Fanta. That small act of "love"❤️ truly won me over. Kudos to the owner of Co Chin Chin for fostering such an impressive team! It’s evident that great service matters just as much as delicious food in sustaining a restaurant’s success. I definitely look forward to returning for another memorable meal.
