"fried shrimp in Tofu skin is very testy Fried rice noodle with beef in cream egg sauce is the best. Not the typical fried noodle you would expect but super nice. The ventilation system should definitely be improved or renewed."

"There are surely not many Chinese restaurants in Switzerland I go to. Bein spoiled from living years in London, it took me a long time to find a dim sum place of quality. Hongxi is just a wonderful place. Great food, unique dishes, and a super friendly and entrepreneurial team. There is no visit in Zurich for me, without going to Hongxi. Really amazing, in particular the black pepper beef, the sea food dumplings and so on. Enjoy!"

"Love the food here! Spare ribs are very delicious. The fried chicken is beyond my expectations. It is crispy outside but soft inside. Fried rice is also tasty with nice portion for 2 people. The staffs are lovely. Suggest to reserve the table before as the restaurant is quite full of people all the time."

"We were probably a little forgotten during service, next to the other well-filled tables with larger company. But until the interruption, everything was served quickly and in a friendly manner. The plates are beautifully presented and the food is exceptionally good for Europe. Varied and full of flavour. I'll definitely be back..."
