Restaurant Myoko - Zermatt

You have to come to Zermatt to eat the best sushis. A long time that we have not eat such tasty and fresh sushi/sashimi . Perfect experience, staff extremely helpful and very positive attitude. To try to taste and to enjoy.

We enjoyed cheese fondue and Fondue Chinoise very much during our stay in Switzerland but having had Swiss and Italian food for ten consecutive days or so we were excited to learn about Myoko Japanese Restaurant. Myoko is located in the heart of the shopping area of Zermatt. It's not exactly on the main street but it's just a stone's throw away from it.It offers both Teppanyaki and sashimi/sushi/tempura etc. Like many other restaurants in Zermatt as well as other cities in the country, it offers an open-air dining area for those who would like to enjoy fresh air and see the other tourists go by.The head chef of the restaurant is a Japanese gentleman. The food was so amazingly good that we ended up going there for three consecutive days (two dinners and one lunch)! We tried sashimi, tempura, udon etc and they were all very delicious. Our kids are prawn tempura experts and they have been to more than forty major cities of the world. On our third visit they had no hesitation in rating Myoko's tempura as one of the best they had tasted.

Having been taken to some good restaurants in Japan, I am often suspicious of Japanese restaurants. However, Myoko did not disappoint.The menu was very traditional with sushi, sashimi and tempura. The three of us each took a different menu and shared what we got. We had the tuna, fish and tempura menus and enjoyed all the dishes.I thought the tempura was very good and greatly enjoyed sushi. We decided against saki, but had a bottle of very good local white wine, which went well with the Japanese food. The only disappointment was the ice cream.

You walk in for Japanese food and you find yourself in a show! Service is impecable and the cooks are really well trained to serve "by the fire". Food is awesome. And... what a surprise... a very interesting wine list. Quite uncommon. A very pleasant experience.

We love Japanese food and we love to go to Japan. This place positioned as a good Japanese restaurant, but this is a very simple place without any gourmet food. Just simple sushi, sashimi, tempura and so on with a very average quality of everything. Do not expect something extraordinary. Just one of the thousands average Japanese restaurants across the world.
