    Just like food stalls in Tokyo this little "restaurant" has, despite being really small, his own flair.
    Against common believe that japanese people eat mostly just sushi, Kuishimbo serves traditional home-cooking. That means a lot of different Ramen or Udon Soups, Okonomiyaki or Rice bowl Dishes (Donburi) are to choose from. With a lot of different side dishes like Natto-pancake or Ebi Fry.
    The food is delicious and also well known to in Vienna living japanese people.
    The only small flaw is that the food, especailly because it is mainly home cooking stuff (so acutally nothing really special) is a bit expensive. So not something for everyday.
    Also if I mean little I mean super small. There is just place for maybe 6 people in the shop. In summer you can sit outside but I guess the direct view on the quite busy Wienzeile street is not everyones cuppa.

    Still good for an interesting lunch.

    The best Japanese food in Vienna, Austria. Small place but full of flavor, warm hospitality and good sake.

    The Japanese couple runs the restaurant, with their hoem cooking style, very good in deep one of the best I had for home style Japanese food outside Japan, Place is small, and menu is in Japanese and German only, but the boss do speak english and they are friendly too. I had a Sake Don its very good will go back for other food in the menu for sure.

    Best Japanese food I have had in Vienna. I'm no expert in Japanese cuisine, but I have been to Japan, and this was the closest I have found.

    Having spent four summers in a row in Japan in the late 1990s, I never got rid of a very strong craving for authentic Japanese food. Kuishimbo is a place where I can finally get unadulterated Izakaya fare with a Southern Japanese twist: Okonomiyaki from Hiroshima, Kasutera from Kyushu (a 15th century Portuguese influence) and many more delights. This is the real thing, not the usual, in-flight menu style pan-Asian fusion crap many Viennese seem to love. If you are looking for a recommendation and have no objections against raw squid, then try the Ika-Natto. It is heavenly.

    "Japanese Homecooking" at its best! I've been there many times, but haven't managed to try all the dishes, yet. My favorite is the Oyakodon, but everything is delicious and fresh made by the friendly couple from Kyoto.

    Very small, very intimate, very authentic. You will see dishes you have probably never heard of, or tasted before. I recommend going here in an adventurous mood.

    Fantastic, authentic down-home Japanese food. It may surprise if your idea of Japanese cuisine is just sushi.

    I agree whole-heartedly. Kuishimbo is the most authentic japanese restaurant I've ever been to in Vienna and the owners are super nice.

    The smallest (2 x 4 meters) japanese restaurant in Vienna is run by a friendly couple from Kyoto.

    Thus, it features lot's of traditional warm cuisine from the Kyoto area, and other japanese specials that you won't find anywhere else easily.

    The owners are very polite and motivated, sometimes a little overworked so be sure to bring some patience if you visit during rush hour.

    All meals posted in Japanese and English language, with season specials and an ever-changing range.

    Be sure to try the eel and the spicy pickles salads!

    Closed sundays, unfortunately.
