Ly’s Asia

A relatively simple place but with good prices for being in the city of Zurich. Perfect for when you want a quicker tasty Asian dinner dinner without paying a fortune. My personal favorite is Chinese Duck.

We passed by here while getting out of Bahnhof Stadelhofen on Sunday afternoon and were lured by the dishes through the glass window. «Shall we get takeout?» my bf asked, and I readily agreed. After all, we had just flown back from a weekend trip, and the fridge was empty at home.
Images of Panda Express danced in our heads as we went inside to order. Ah… just like the good ‘ol days back in America! :)
We looked at the already-​cooked food options and settled on a beef stir-​fry and chicken dish. Paired with steamed rice, it was the perfect late lunch to go. Awesome! The place looked a bit sparse but clean, and it was open on Sunday, woot!
Then it was time to pay. CHF 33! Say what? This ain’t no Panda Express. Welcome back to Switzerland, baby. :/​
The food was pretty tasty, but very salty – almost too salty. Thank goodness we had gotten the regular steamed rice instead of the fried rice or pan-​fried noodles I was eyeing earlier.
The beef dish was surprisingly spicy. I normally don’t find really spicy foods in Zürich, so that was interesting. The chicken was a bit sweet. Both dishes had very tender meats, yum. And the portions were quite generous. We only ate about half of each dish and had enough leftover for dinner later that night. :)
