Who cooks here

BOWL & WOK has been run by Iyathurai Subaskaran since 19 January 2026. The kitchen combines Vietnamese origins with Asian range: a daily lunch menu at lunchtime, an evening menu of soups, wok dishes, curries and bowls. Everything is cooked fresh each day, without unnecessary additives.

“If we can't make it ourselves, it isn't on the menu.”

On 19 January 2026 Iyathurai Subaskaran took over the restaurant at Uetlibergstrasse 22 and reopened it. What stayed is the location in the neighbourhood; what is new is the kitchen: Vietnamese-rooted, extended by curries from Thailand, India, Indonesia and Malaysia.

Vegetables, herbs and sauces are made in house. What needs time gets time – the beef rendang braises until the sauce is dark and dense, which is why at some point in the evening it runs out.

Two ways of eating

Quick at lunch, unhurried in the evening

At lunchtime

From 10:30 a lunch menu with daily changing Vietnamese specialities, bowls and wok dishes is ready. Made for the lunch break: warm, quick, no waiting. Also available as takeaway.

Evening: à la carte

In the evening we cook à la carte. Vietnamese rice noodle soups, wok noodles, curries, fish and bowls – freshly prepared, aromatic, without flavour enhancers.

Room for the lunch break and for the long evening

The dining room is on Uetlibergstrasse. In summer the terrace at the front and the planted inner courtyard are added. Groups have a separate area with a long table – for birthdays, company dinners and anything that needs more than one table.
