The menu is quite extensive and the food was really good (I discovered edamame for the first time! Where have these soy beans been all my life?!). The service was very accommodating and helpful. Food prices were average. You can also get take away which is good to bear in mind! This place has been recommended to me by a few different people and I, in turn, will recommend it to others! Can't wait for the sunshine to get here so I can sit outside with my edamame :)

The chicken thigh yakitori was OK- some little bits were blackened which gave this dry bad burned aftertaste. The eel nigiri was really delicious. However the scallop nigiri tasted off, and unpleasantly bitter. The rhubarb dessert I didn't like at all, and left the whole thing. They gave me a chocolate mousse on the house because they noticed I didn't eat the dessert, but I didn't really like the mousse either. The desserts really weren't well balanced, I'd take them off the menu entirely. The cream was overwhelmingly sweet, rhubarb mushy, and crumbles perplexing. I get what they were going for with adding texture but it didn't work. The mousse was two note, raspberry and chocolate, overwhelmingly sweet. The worst part was about 10 minutes after leaving, my stomach started to hurt terribly. It was definitely something I ate there. I had horrible stomach cramps/pains and sickness following. I won't go into the details, but I didn't have anything else to eat and this came upon pretty soon after leaving the restaurant, so I'm certain it was from something there. Maybe the scallops I thought were off? I trusted all of the great reviews.. assumed they know how to handle their shellfish. Maybe the dessert? I don't know what made me sick here, and I'll spare you the details, but I'm stuck having to stay close to the bathroom now and I am not thrilled.

Absolutely wonderful service and delicious food. TOURIST FRIENDLY…read more My friend and I were visiting as tourists when we got caught in a heavy rainstorm. With no idea where we were or where to eat, we stumbled into this restaurant, completely by chance, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we walked in, the staff welcomed us with such warmth and kindness. Despite being walk-ins, with drenched clothing, they quickly found us a table, offered menus, and made us feel genuinely cared for. We noticed many of the staff spoke multiple languages. The service was prompt and attentive. Every staff member we encountered was friendly, talented, and gracious...always smiling and checking in. I've traveled quite a bit around the world, but I can honestly say I've rarely experienced service this warm and genuine. The food was absolutely delicious, well-prepared, and seemed authentically made. The restaurant itself had a cozy and inviting atmosphere. I'm incredibly thankful to the team here for turning what was initially a soggy, stressful afternoon into such a memorable experience. Highly recommend!

At first, I wasn't too impressed with the appetizer that I had, which was the shrimp spring rolls…read morewith a small side salad. The spring rolls were good, but they should at least separate the salad in a different bowl, because the dressing gets on the rolls and making them soggy instead of hot and crispy as they should be served. This was a big turn-off for me. However, the crispy duck ramen noodle soup was excellent. It was served very hot, as soup should be served, and it was also spicy as well. It reminded me of the saimin bowls in Honolulu because of the type of noodles used. I liked that the noodles retained their texture, and the broth was spicy and rich in flavor. One of the best bowls of ramen soup I have ever had, I must say. I still have to give this place only three stars, though. Not that it's because it's a bad place, but there were a couple of little things that were disappointing. One, as mentioned above, were the spring rolls. Second, at the very least, I really wish they would have at least left me a couple of extra napkins at the table, which I asked for, but initially was only given one. I'm eating spicy hot soup, and it can get messy, and they should know this. The service at the restaurant itself was average but nothing out of the ordinary. I haven't tried the sushi yet. I'm sure it's alright, though.

This was literally one of the worst experience I had with Sushi…read more About an hour ago I ordered a California Maki. At first, it came without shrimps which was its main ingredient. So They took it away to redo it. The second time it came, it came looking like a punishment. The former sushi set at least had a large chunk of egg inside of it. The second time it came, the egg and the shrimp, two main ingredients, were so tiny it made me laugh. The egg was 1/4 size of what it was before. The shrimp was really....almost non existent. I could only think that they did this on purpose. I ate two pieces, and paid. No one asked what the problem was, or why I didn't eat much of it. I had to buy a bag of chips from a hamburger shop next door afterwards. I am never going back.

While waiting, we struck up a conversation with two new friends, one visiting from the US like us, and the other a local from the neighborhood, so we decided that we share a table to save time. Hearing the local's strong recommendation reassured us that we were in for something special, and they were absolutely right. Despite the late hour, the service was excellent, efficient, and attentive. Our orders, the Tonkotsu and Wan Tan Ramen, arrived fairly quickly. The broth was rich and deeply flavored, perfectly balanced without being overly salty. The noodles had just the right spring and chew, firm enough to hold their texture, yet tender enough to soak up the broth beautifully. We stayed until closing, but the staff never once made us feel rushed. Since we shared a table with 2 others, they allow splitting the bill into 3 transactions which was very accommodating. We had the perfect late night comfort meal, especially for our Asian palates craving familiar flavors while traveling through Europe. Mochi Ramen Bar truly hit the spot and was worth every minute of the wait. Our new local friend mentioned they also have their own vending machine for those looking for a quick fix, so we went to check it out afterward and it had a good selection of the restaurant's ramen bowls, ready anytime you crave it.

After a trip to Japan in 2023, I set myself the goal of trying every ramen place in Vienna. A good…read morethree years later, one thing is certain: Mochi Ramen Bar at Vorgartenmarkt has become one of my absolute favourite spots. The room is small but stylish, with plenty of seating at the bar overlooking the kitchen and the sides thrown open in summer. The staff are consistently friendly. Worth knowing: there's no reservation system -- strictly first-come, first-served -- so budget 15 to 30 minutes of waiting in the afternoon and evening. It's worth it. On to the food. The standard menu features four ramen -- shio tonkotsu, shoyu and two miso variants, one of them vegan -- alongside the usual Japanese starters like gyoza, karaage and edamame, plus desserts. The permanent menu alone is excellent, above all the shoyu wonton ramen, where the cooks absolutely nail the silky, luxurious mouthfeel of proper Japanese shoyu ramen. But where Mochi Ramen Bar truly sets itself apart are the monthly rotating specials. This is the reason I keep coming back. Every single one I've tried has been outstanding, and the range is remarkable -- these aren't small variations on a house style, they're genuinely different bowls each time. A shio clam ramen with Grammeln (Austrian pork cracklings) that somehow made a local ingredient feel completely at home in a Japanese bowl. A tori paitan with a cloudy, creamy chicken broth and sous-vide pork loin. A French-inspired bouillabaisse ramen with seafood. Asparagus ramen in spring, tsukemen dipping ramen in summer -- the specials follow the seasons, and the kitchen clearly enjoys the freedom. Whatever's on the board that month, order it. Every visit turns into a small surprise, and I've never once been disappointed. All in all: a wholehearted recommendation. It will always be worth a visit.
