The Best Japanese Street Food and Sushi in Vienna 2023

As befits a real Japanese izakaya, the small offshoot of the large Mochi shines with a fine selection of small dishes and platters (for sharing). Good sake selection, great wine list!

The name Mochi has always been synonymous with top-quality Japanese fusion cuisine—the delis offer a more casual experience, but the quality is no less impressive: they serve a wide variety of rolls and don bowls that are perfectly fresh, and the fluffy bao buns with their savory fillings are also excellent.

While a few floors up, guests dine on Japanese cuisine in an elegant setting, the atmosphere on the ground floor is more casual—but no less upscale: top-quality sushi and donburi bowls (recommended: unagi!), paired with Japanese Kirin beer on tap and a great selection of sake.

At the second location of this mecca for Japan enthusiasts, the focus is also entirely on outstanding quality: You’ll want (and should!) order your way through the entire menu, because everything here is simply perfect—from crispy takoyaki to spicy salmon don to various udon dishes.

A hidden gem in a prime location: The minimalist interior is reminiscent of a classic Japanese sushi bar—and for good reason. The fresh dishes prepared behind the counter are of the highest quality and reflect great expertise. It’s well worth the wait for one of the 20 seats.
