Sad to see them go!!

They're switching to a non-vegan, non-vegetarian concept in september 2025.

Amazing vegan buffet :)

We visited Zürich for a day trip and chose to come here because of the reasonable price and the option for a buffet. Everything tasted very delicious and we got to eat our stomachs full. Staff was friendly and helpful. Location was not far away from the center. We had never encountered a vegan Asian buffet so finding this one was a real gem!

Pros: Delicious food, Reasonably priced, Various vegan options

Cons: The tofu dish was a bit too salty for us

Reasonably priced buffet

Chimy's offers a la carte dining and a buffet, I had the latter, which offers plenty of choice at a very good price. However, we were the first guests of the evening and some of the food was still cold.

To good to go

We took three "to good to go" and one box to take away. It was all vegan and everything tasted very nice!

Nice buffet

We really enjoyed dining here since its buffet style allows everyone to eat whatever they want at their own pace.

There are better places. But friendly service

The place is small, crowded and therefore noisy. The food from the buffet is nothing sensational and consists mainly of various sauces with vegetables. Almost no protein sources.

Tip: Get it to go instead of eating on-site. The portion is sufficient and the price is much better.

Very tasty and good service

It was much smaller than I expected, but still very good Asian food and a fair price. There is one vegetarian dish, otherwise everything is vegan

Good food but very cramped

While their buffet is good, the restaurant is quite small and tightly packed with tables. If possible avoid the peak times or come when the weather is nice and you can sit outside.

Tasty and fair price

Chimy's offered a range of vegan options from a buffet. Everything we tried tasted good, although it was a bit too spicy for us. The prices were surprisingly low, which is nice

Pros: inexpensive, tasty

Cons: watch out for heat

Buffet place for a reasonable price

Buffet / All you can eat place for a reasonable price offering Asian food!
When I visited it seems like all options were vegan except one which had cheese in it, I asked many times and left the place still without understanding if it was vegan or vegetarian since two member said it was made with fake cheese but still called the dish vegetarian. I was not the only one confused and they struggle a bit with English! I would still recommend this but make sure you check what’s v and what’s vg.

Yummy!

The kitchen is perfect, and there was only one vegetarian dish, the other things were all vegan!
Quite expensive, but most of Zürich is anyway and it's a buffet.

Leckeres Essen, freundliche Bedienung, faire Preise

Wir waren gestern Abend im Chimy‘s. Wir wurden herzlich begrüsst. Ich hatte online leider überlesen, dass es keine à la carte Auswahl gibt - also Buffet! Das Essen war lecker und was ausging wurde fortlaufend ersetzt. Einziger Kritikpunkt: kein offenes und kein lokales Bier - zumindest gestern nicht. Dafür kostenlos Hahnenwasser.
Sehr fairer Preis, wenn man wirklich Hunger hat :)

Pros: Leckeres Essen, Fairer Preis

Cons: Kein lokales oder offenes Bier

Friendly buffet place

We got greeted friendly and found a nice place in the busy restaurant. There were many choices at the buffed. The food tested well, but not great. Also, some dishes, especially the dumplings, got empty and not replaced.
In the end however, we had eaten too much – which was to be expected with the wasteful all-you-can-eat concept.
After we had a stomach egg – not sure if it was just of too much food.

GO HERE!

If you can only eat one place in Zurich, go here. The buffet was incredible. Super friendly service, clean and cute place, incredibly delicious food. There was only one non-vegan option when I went - a cheese momo.

Pros: Nearly everything is vegan, They have beer, Super friendly service

Fresh pan-Asian cuisine that’s almost all vegan

This is one of our all-time favourite restaurants in Switzerland. The evening all-you-cat eat buffet is spectacular, with a great selection of momos, salads, curries and more. Usually everything is vegan apart from one or two items. Warm and friendly service too, for adults and kids! The new addition of weekday lunch vegan bowls is also great - I love both the rice and noodle bowls.

Pros: The buffet is almost all vegan, Warm and friendly service

Many vegan options

I love how in this buffet you pay one price and you can eat whatever you'd like and try many things to check what you prefer and take more of that afterwards. Things that you can't do in a "pay by weight" buffet.

I loved the pineapple mix and the soya they had when I went there! Tried different Asian food that I never tried before!

Pros: Same price for whatever you want to take, Different food, Many vegan options

Delicious and plentiful

We had the buffet which was mostly vegan besides one vegetarian dish. Very delicious and you have to take small portions if you really want to try every dish without bursting. Staff also was busy refilling everything and very friendly. Definitely would come again

Pros: Plenty of vegan options
