Cosy Japanese Veggie Comfort Food in Zürich (Minus the Tourist-Trap Markup)
PUTPUTakeaway is a vegetarian-focused Japanese takeaway spot located in Werd, Zürich, right on Stauffacherstrasse. People come for the kind of food that feels homey and satisfying: deeply flavorful curry, perfectly cooked rice, and snacks that punch way above their “quick takeaway” status.
Start with the Japanese veggie curry—rich, warming, and properly spiced, the sort of meal you finish fast because it’s that good. It typically comes with sticky rice cooked just right (not dry, not gluey). If you want something lighter, the noodle salad surprises with a bold dressing that turns simple ingredients into a craveable lunch. And don’t skip the veggie onigiri: the rice is neatly shaped, and the filling leans sweet-umami (think seasoned aubergine vibes) in a way that feels genuinely special.
For Zürich restaurant standards, this place delivers serious value—expect roughly 15–20 CHF for a filling, feel-good meal that doesn’t try to upsell you with gimmicks.
Insider tip: Go early on weekdays—popular items can sell out. Order the curry plus an onigiri for the full PUTPUTakeaway experience.

2 months agoEating at PutPut is always a good option. But as a meat eater, it's largely a matter of luck. Sometimes you get a decent amount of meat in the chicken curry. Other times, there are only two or three pieces. That's simply unacceptable for the price compared to the vegetarian option. It would be so easy to improve by simply paying attention... If it weren't for this, it would be five stars. Because of this, it remains at three. Unfortunately, it's happened far too often, and other reviewers here have said the same thing...
