Always on the lookout for what’s new, we’ve rounded up Asian spots in Vienna that genuinely stand out.

Expect exciting newcomers, under-the-radar favorites, and kitchens redefining familiar flavors — all adding new energy to the city’s dining scene.

Happy Lamb Hot Pot

Barnabitengasse 5, 1060
A traditional Mongolian-style hot pot restaurant centered around shared dining and rich, comforting broths.

Happy Lamb is about the experience as much as the food — choosing ingredients, cooking together at the table, and taking time. Warm, social, and perfect for groups, it’s a go-to spot for long evenings and communal meals, especially in colder seasons.

Kikko Bā

Schleifmühlgasse 8, 1040
An elegant Japanese-inspired dining spot with a strong focus on small plates, refined flavors, and sake culture.

Kikko Bā balances minimal aesthetics with depth — the menu is built around sharing dishes, seasonal ingredients, and carefully crafted combinations. The atmosphere is calm but social, making it ideal for long dinners, dates, or evenings when food and conversation are equally important.

Mochi

Praterstraße 15, 1020
A cornerstone of Vienna’s modern Japanese food scene, known for its vibrant energy and consistently packed tables.

Mochi offers a wide range of izakaya-style dishes, sushi, ramen, and comfort food meant to be shared. Fast-paced, loud, and full of life — it’s a place where friends meet, plates keep coming, and the evening naturally stretches longer than planned.

Nikkai

Wipplingerstraße 34, 1010
A contemporary Japanese restaurant with a quieter, more restrained approach. Nikkai focuses on clean lines, thoughtful presentation, and precise flavors, creating an intimate dining experience.

The menu is subtle rather than flashy, appealing to those who appreciate balance, quality ingredients, and a calm atmosphere away from the crowds.

Cucina Itameshi

Praterstraße 70, 1020
Think pasta with umami depth — Italian classics reworked through a Japanese lens. Rich sauces, unexpected combinations, and flavors that feel familiar but slightly surprising.

Creative, bold, but still cozy, the kind of place where curiosity is rewarded and everything somehow just works.

Little Korae

Mariahilfer Strasse 100, 1070
Comfort Korean food, done right. From sizzling BBQ and bibimbap to spicy stews, classic side dishes — and the egg drop sandwich everyone comes back for. Bold flavors, generous portions, zero pretension.

Warm, casual, and always satisfying. A place you return to when you want something filling, flavorful, and familiar, especially when a proper egg drop is non-negotiable.

Shoo Loong Kan

Kettenbrückengasse 13, 1050
A bold Sichuan hot pot concept bringing intense flavors and a lively atmosphere to the table. Shoo Loong Kan is known for its spicy broths, wide ingredient selection, and energetic dining style.

Choose your broth, build your own combinations with meats, seafood, vegetables, and noodles, and cook everything right at the table. The experience is interactive, loud, and full of heat — exactly how Sichuan hot pot should be.

Matcha Komachi

Operngasse 23, 1040 Wien
Praterstraße 36, 1020 Wien
Landstraßer Hauptstraße, 1030 Wien
Josefstädter Str. 62, 1080 Wien
A cozy café dedicated entirely to Japanese matcha traditions. Matcha Komachi combines high-quality matcha drinks with a selection of Japanese food — from delicate rolls and light savory dishes to traditional desserts.

Alongside matcha lattes and ceremonial tea, you’ll find fresh rolls, small plates, and sweets designed to be enjoyed slowly and mindfully. The menu stays balanced and refined, letting flavors stay clean and simple.

Mari’s Metcha Matcha

Neustiftgasse 7, 1070
A modern matcha spot focused on quality, balance, and simple Japanese flavors. It pairs carefully prepared matcha drinks with curated combos and light Japanese snacks.

Their set menus are designed to work together — matcha served alongside small savory bites, sweets, and seasonal treats. Expect clean flavors, thoughtful portions, and a menu made for slow breaks rather than heavy meals.

We hope this list was genuinely helpful and that you’ll find your own favorites among these spots too.
