Kuishimbo Reviews (9)

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.
