Get to know us

Our story starts in 1981

As a family of Chinese refugees from the Cambodian civil war, the family members started working labour-intensive jobs to provide for their new lives in Switzerland. To make ends meet, the family started selling homemade spring rolls at fun fairs, discovering their passion for hospitality. In 1987, they realised their dream of opening the first Suan Long in Zurich. In the coming years, additional locations and brands quickly followed suit.

Since then, Suan Long has strived to set the standard for Asian food in Zurich. In 2007 Suan Long Neptunstrasse changed its name to Restaurant Lemongrass. Since then Madame Ly is looking after this restaurant personally.

Lemongrass & Suan Long today

2022

We are continuously working on the next chapter. Suan Long is a social space where we want to connect customers with friends to share the food and drinks they love in an inviting environment. Just as our vast array of dishes, our restaurants designs reflect how far Suan Long has come with different interior styles perfect for all kind of occasions.
We had the privilege of serving generations of customers and won the hearts of many along the way and are looking forward to do that in future as well.
