19. May 2014: Restaurant Scent of Bamboo
The Vietnamese Spring Rolls (CHF 6.50) are a bit dry and too crispy for my personal gusto but the stuffing is fine while the sauce is quite dull.
The Pad Thai (fried rice noodles with chicken, tofu and soy sprouts) (CHF 16.50) was okay too – the chicken is not really of outstanding quality nor taste but in combination with chili and soy sauce it is quite okay.
The prices are absolutely low for Zurich – which also applies to the beverages (i.e. water, 3dl, CHF 3.50; double espresso, CHF 6.00). The place is rather simple and not too inviting but when you get to sit outside in the sun it is quite okay. The service is friendly and rather quick. Overall, the Restaurant Scent of Bamboo is an okay place to have lunch but not much more than that.

About the Author: Sven
I started the blog in October 2009, while living in Milan which I definitely consider to be one of the food capitals of the world. I was in touch with food since my early childhood (as my father is a former chef). Whenever I can, I travel the world to discover new places, to meet people but mostly to try local dishes and to find hidden gems! If you know a place worth going, please drop a line to: info@thediningexperience.org.
Currently, I am a member of the following food-related associations: Chevalier @Chaîne des Rôtisseurs Zurich-Ville; Membre Gourmet Dégustateur @Ordre Mondial des Gourmets Dégustateurs [OMGD]; Gesellschafter @Goldener Fisch and Member @Slowfood Convivium Zurich City.
