We went with friends for dinner. All of us have been regular visitors to China and enjoy all sorts of Chinese cuisine. We loved the food at Beyond. It's for sure the most authentic Szechuan food in Zurich, if not Switzerland. This however means that...you need to watch your Chillies.
Each dish has a "Chili" rating. The three chili dishes are as hot as you would get in Szechuan itself, so make sure this is what you want
The dish of the evening was their stir fried chicken with dried Chillies. A classic Szechuan dish, so good that we ordered a second one !
The restaurant is usually very well patronized, with many Chinese customers, which we took as a good sign. It's therefore advisable to book. They recently moved from their old location in Zollstrasse to their new, much more fancy one in Claridenstrasse.
The only downside is that it's all a bit disorganized. The (very friendly and polite) waitresses seem fairly rushed, and mistakes in orders are not uncommon. Hopefully this is only due to the new location and once the staff get used to the place, service will improve. Nevertheless, Beyond is well worth the trip and a bit of confusion. Go there if you want truly authentic food. By the way, some other reviews on this site complain about the prices, but by Zurich standards, and considering the quality of the food, we felt the bill was very fairMore
