Shrimp dumplings were one of the best I've ever tried. I also got the vegan noodle soup but it was disappointing to have canned corn inside it tasted cheap. I liked the broth though - it was light but had flavor. By the way, I was surprised to see only three thin pieces of tofu and they tasted like rubber... but the shrimp dumplings were so good I just can't give them less than 4 stars :)
We walked past this restaurant a couple of times and liked its modern look and nice spacious outdoor covered section so decided to try it for a late lunch one day. Had house beef noodles, soup dumplings, siumai, and spicy cucumbers. Noodles, siumai and cucumbers were good, the soup dumplings had ok flavor and somewhat juicy filling but very small with thick dough skin - totally not what you'd expect if you know what the authentic ones are supposed to be like, and 3 pieces for €6 is also way too pricey. Overall good dining environment and not bad service - just don't bother ordering the soup dumplings.
We needed our Chinese fix while in Vienna. The weather was nice enough to sit outside under the canopy. The couple next to us had completely empty plates, that is a good sign! Octopus Noodles jumped right out at me from the menu. I could not read the ingredients, so it was a gamble. An ice cold brew to start off the meal. The octopus noodles had delicately sliced octopus layer over a bed of stir fried al dente vegetables and noodles. The dish had a noticeable smoky black pepper flavor which complemented the octopus and vegetables.
Was really excited to try after reading the reviews, but overall it was just good. My family started with dumplings, 5 yellow curry chicken and 5 spicy beef, and we all really enjoyed them! I personally liked the chicken a little better, but they were comparable. If I went back, I would consider getting 10 of these as my meal because I love dumplings. I ordered the crispy duck noodle dish, which I think was the best entree of the table. I really liked the Peking duck sauce it came with--it added good flavor, I just wanted more of it. The duck itself was perfectly crispy and accompanied the noodles well. My brother ordered the curry beef fried rice, my mom ordered the spicy chicken bits hot pot, and my dad got the chef's beef pho noodle bowl, and I thought each of the dishes were good but not great. I think my expectations were high and I just wanted each dish to be just a bit more flavorful. A hot sauce/sriracha option may have helped. I agree with other reviews that it was a nice break from Austrian food, but it wasn't the best Asian food I have ever had. Overall though, the ambience is really nice. Unclear on how it compares to other Vienna Asian fusion spots. If I lived here, I would return for dumplings and to try other dishes! Perhaps ask for extra sauce (broadly).
When I heard about a new Chinese restaurant in the city, this was not at all what I was expecting. Most Chinese restaurants here are either uber-westernized, fast-food style cheap eats or the ones that are more authentic tend to have this stereotypical old and kind of tacky Asian decor. I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant's vibe and how delicious the food was. I like that they were able to modernize and elevate the typical Chinese dining experience, while still keeping the food authentic Aesthetically, the restaurant is very nice- pretty modern with a clear Asian flare. They have a nice outdoor seating area on a terrace right outside the restaurant overlooking the ring. The food was phenomenal by Austrian standards and pretty good even by Asian standards. My parents, who are Taiwanese and crazy high standards for Chinese/Taiwanese food, come here quite frequently so that should give you an idea. The plating is also great and makes for some insta-worthy dishes (especially the rainbow dumplings). My favorite dish was probably the Taiwan Beef Wrap. It's on the sweeter side and they give it a twist by adding mango, but it was still really tasty. Definitely adding this one to my list of go-to restaurants in Vienna.
We've recently found out that this Asian restaurant offers the yummy taiwanese beef roll, which is why we wanted to see if their's are authentic. The restaurant looks new, clean and modern. It's definitely a comfortable restaurant to sit and a perfect place for a catch up with your friends or your family. I'd say friendly service and good food, even though not every dish is worth 4 stars. The beef wrap was good but not fantastic. It was not like what we expected or hoped it to be, yet it wasn't bad at all. This place also offers the famous "Dong Po Pork" for which we also had high expectations. I guess our expectations were a bit too high, because the taste was not too exciting. What's also different is the "Beijing Duck Wrap". Not good or bad, but just different. You just gotta try it yourself but I personally would pimp it up a little bit, since I did feel like there's something missing. Overall everything was pretty good. I must in particular praise the "Chef's Beef". Tender beef and tasty noodle soup made it to a "Yay! I'm a fan." Since we ordered the "Sago" as a dessert as well, I need to say that I can only give 2 stars for that. Basically the mango pieces were still raw and the tapioca weren't done yet. Oops.. hope you guys can make it better.
We passed by and this place caught our eye, so we decided to stop in for dinner and drinks. It was very busy for a Thursday but we managed to get a table for two up by the bar. It was pretty loud, but people came and went. The service was quick and the presentation of the dishes was fantastic! They had a variety of spritzers; the lychee was our favorite. It even came with two fruits skewered on a wooden stick. Their menu was only in German although the names of the dishes were in English and there were some pictures on the menu. For our appetizer, we chose spicy dumplings to split. They were so juicy and perfectly seasoned, we had wished they had given us more! My boyfriend decided to have the pork rice dish, that came practically boiling in a beautiful bowl. The server mentioned their homemade soy sauce that she drizzled over the dish for him. I had the beef noodle soup, which came with homemade noodles and some thinly sliced cabbage and green onion. It was so flavorful, but the portion was too big to finish. For dessert, we were informed that there would be a long wait as the kitchen was very busy, but it only took about 15-20 minutes. We split the rice dumplings and they were the perfect way to end the night. They practically melted in my mouth. This place honestly surprised me and I'd say it was luck that brought us here because it was the perfect way to start our stay in Vienna. read more
Yummy Asian noodle eatery! Nice change of pace vs. all the wonderful local Bavarian and Austrian foods. Highly recommend this alternative if you're in the mood for some homemade noodles (ramen) and dumplings, and savory Asian fusion flavors! This was a solid 4.5 rated experience with excellent apps and meals, dish presentation, smiling and efficient service, very quaint ambience. Expect to pay $15-16 euro for soup meals, and $7-10 euro for starters. Reservations accepted but we didn't have a problem as walk in for a table Friday at 7p. Started with the Beijing Duck wraps, crispy sliced duck served with cucumber, scallions and plum sauce which you wrapped in a thin steamed crepe - fantastic, tasty and tender! Quantity was enough for 2 to try, however if hungry, suggest ordering 1 app per person to share. For dinner, we had 1 Veggie/Tofu soup and 1 Braised Pork Ribs noodle soup. These were served very temperature hot, and each meal was filling and hit the spot. Loved the fresh veggies, tasty protein, generous noodle quantity, and plenty of broth. In my opinion, you won't be disappointed on any of their dishes. After a long and cold travel day, this was conveniently located in short walking distance from our hotel and Opera House, so stop in for a quick bite if craving Asian fusion foods. ENJOY!! read more

Amazing gem in the center of Vienna! After several days of Schnitzel we were ready to branch out tonight and Hao was absolutely perfect! The restaurant is located just opposite the Burggarten, and easy to find with Google maps ( a must for tired travelers.) We were able to make same day reservations and were seated immediately when we arrived. The menu was thorough and informative (and available in both German and English.) We ordered Xiao Long Bao (a favorite) and Crispy chicken noodle soup (to try out the house made noodles which came highly recommended.) The water we ordered came chilled(!!) and I added a pot of Ginseng Ginger tea which was presented beautifully and tasted perfect. The Xiao Long Bao came in a steamer of 3- perfect for one person, but one more would have been nice for splitting between two people. The taste made up for it though- they were large, filled with juice, meat and flavor, and HOT. Absolutely delicious. Shortly after our soup arrived and it was perfection. The presentation is reminiscent of a Japanese bento box, with several elements each presented separately- great for allowing the diner to personalize the meal. I'm trying to limit grease intake, so having the friend chicken on a separate plate was an unexpected delight, allowing me to enjoy it without it taking over my meal. There was also a small serving of a kimchi/sauerkraut type cabbage dish, and a plate with onions and cilantro to add to your taste. But the noodle soup is why I'm writing this review. The soup itself was a chicken based broth with the depth of flavor I would expect from a fine dining location. It was rich, silky, and complex. The noodles had the bite that tells you they are fresh not dried- long, perfectly between the thickness of a ramen noodle and an udon noodle, and complimented the broth perfectly. In addition, the soup was filled with fresh, beautiful vegetables-- carrot, bok choy, bean sprouts, broccoli, mushroom, zucchini... In all honesty, this meal was one I will remember for a very long time. If you are in Vienna, add this to you the TOP of your list. read more
