The best street food venues of type "Japanese Cuisine" in Austria
Wherever you see “Mochi,” you can count on quality and great flavor—and that goes for the Japanese soup kitchen at the Vorgartenmarkt, too: Rich broths and authentic noodles combine with a variety of toppings to create classics like tonkatsu ramen, but they also offer creative, seasonal dishes.
Whether it's seafood, curry, or tonkotsu ramen—the bowls are all brimming with rich broths made from pork, chicken, or vegetables, and countless toppings that can be added upon request. But udon, soba, and donburi are also available in a delicious variety.
When you’re devouring your ramen with such relish, you must be at Miyako. The soups are so delicious that you’ll want to savor every last drop of broth and every strand of noodles. It’s also worth trying some of the other delicacies, such as the vegetarian stir-fry with tofu and mushrooms.
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.
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.
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.
Ramen are popular Japanese noodle soups that have also found their place in Austrian cuisine. Popular variations include those with peanuts and spicy ground meat, or with soy sauce, egg, morels, and black garlic. Fried tofu with teriyaki sauce makes a great starter.
The age of ramen has arrived. These hot noodle soups, which you can enjoy at any time of day, are the darlings of the street food world. At the Ramenbar in Salzburg, for example, they come in flavors like Black Garlic, Hot Beef, or Hokkaido. Delicious: the Dobbuhri rice bowls.
Ramen soups have long been a staple of the foodie scene—warming, filling, and enjoyed year-round. At Ichi, the broths are simmered for hours, and the noodles are hand-made according to traditional Japanese craftsmanship. Paired with fresh toppings—everything comes together perfectly here.
These days, you can enjoy traditional Japanese noodle soups at several locations throughout Austria. It’s no wonder—they really know how to make them here, serving them with hearty meat toppings as well as tofu. Dishes like tonkatsu are also delicious.
Anyone who thinks this is just about noodle soups is mistaken. Ramen, Japan’s national dish, is the star of the show: the dashi broth simmers for days on end, and the flavor develops layer by layer. Everything is inspired by different regions and seasons—and made with local ingredients.
On the menu is the holy trinity of simple Asian street food served in a modern setting. The menu features high-quality noodles, rice dishes, and dumplings in a wide variety: from baozi to tangmian soups to wantan with shrimp or chicken—the house specialty!
