The owner, Fong, loves her cooking and is happy to share the flavours and tastes of her home country. This is evident in the food she offers which is always fresh "just made" and authentic. Dont mistake Lotus for a restaurant, it isn't, it caters for the lunchtime throng of hungry students and local office workers motivated by gurgling stomachs seeking something different at a good price - and Fong more than meets this expectation.Lotus serves up Vietnamese flavored sandwiches and a minimalist lunchtime wok menu (rice & noodle dishes) but don't let this deter you. Everything that comes out of her kitchen tastes great! At one time, she also took lunch orders in advance and prepared them to be delivered just before lunch to the company reception, but I think those days are over. Mind you, if you and your fellow office workers along Perolles Boulevard or in the vicinity haven't tried Lotus yet, you should.She speaks English and is always happy to serve, which in Switzerland is often a rare trait!

This lady is making top quality sushis. Everything about it is convenient: she takes order online or on the phone, you can arrange for a delivery, but most of the time, her little bus is ideally located so just go take your order, and treat yourself.

Since we discovered this authentic Thai restaurant in 2014, we return for an extensive evening meal every time we're back in Switzerland.The food and the service of this unique dining experience are an example of Excellent Thai gastronomy combined with Swiss quality.Bertram makes sure you're welcome and his wife behind the wok ensures authentic flavours served at your table.Between Geneva and Zurich it's worthwhile to get off the freeway at the Fribourg exit for a meal at this exceptional Thai restaurant, which is by far the best of its kind in the area.

I've been there with my colleagues at lunch time. We had 3 lunch-menus, and service was really, really fast.Food was good, I would say one of the best Sushi I had in Fribourg, especially considering the price - only 18.- for the menu (entreé, main course, dessert) plus drink.Strongly suggested.

This tiny restaurant has seating for 10 max. We had reserved which turned out to have been a good thing as the rest was taken up by a party of students. In addition they have what seems to be a fairly brisk take-out business. The menu encompasses Appetizers including Gyoza and Seaweed Salad, Sashimi, various Sushi, Udon/Ramen dishes, some Teriyaki and Sukiyaki. We had the Sashimi Mix which was listed to have 15 mixed pieces of various fish. It didn't. It had about 9 pieces of fish, some avocado and a bit of omelette. The Sashimi was very good although some, particularly the salmon was cut far too thickly.Next we chose Uramaki California. I think we were served Uramaki Philadlephia in its place as the sushi had philadlephia cheese incorporated: a first for us and not something we will try again as the texture of philadelphia cheese is alien to all things sushi. We also tried their Bento selection which contains a mixture of Uramaki and Nigiri sushi. Finally we had a Temaki made with Unagi. We drank hot sake. Service was very friendly. The owner/manager is a Japanese lady born in China. She explained that her family is well established in Switzerland and owns a variety of Asian restaurants scattered throughot the country.We enjoyed our visit and will be back.Note: the place is very small, staff are only two so service is not rapid. The take-out business was fairly brisk when we were there and so keeping up with the Sukiyaki party, our needs and take-out severely stretched their abiility to cope. If you enjoy sushi, live in Fribourg, not in a hurry and don't mind being a bit cramped, the place is well worth trying. Their fish is fresh and delivered twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays. As mentioned it is not error free but gemütlich. Finally the price is right.

Wonderful meal and very friendly establishment. We entered for dinner without reservations and were promptly seated at a bar dining area where we could watch them prepare the food, which was fun. Menu had a wide selection of Asian dishes across several cuisines. The spicy ramen (I went with beef but there were several protein options) was fantastic. Definitely very spicy, but great. Overall a quality alternative to the the more traditional Swiss dining options. It is also well located right near the cathedral so definitely worth a stop for lunch if you are walking the town.

This restaurant offers reasonably good quality Chinese fare in small portions at unbelievable prices. The night I visited, they were also undertaking modifications so we ate to a background of sawing and hammering. The Hot & Sour beef in double hot sauce was OK but a little bland. The lady serving asked spice level 1-12 and said 1 was normal, 4 was very hot and 12 was only suitable if you can eat raw chillies. I had 4 and should have picked 12. Soup, a standard main course plus a beer will be $50 and you may leave thinking you could have ate more but were unwilling to pay the prices. The Thai restaurant in the Au Parc hotel is a much better choice but is closed Monday and Tuesday.

Honestly I think the place is over rated. The service is good and amiable but the food is very average at best. The resturant has a nice atmosphere but it is so small you are practically touching the stranger next to you not ot mention hearing all the conversation.I ordered spring rolls, I expected to get the rolls wrapped in rice wraps, instead I got the deep fried one!! Flavor was ok but the sauce too weak for my taste. The main dish was carmaised fish. I could tell the fish was not the best and the dish lacked character so I had to douse it with hot sauce. It came with a bowl of white rice so quantity wise it was ok.All-in-all it was average no more.
