Mochi

Tried to make reservation but it was full. Got t on the waiting list instead, but never got a seat for two nights. Instead walked in around 3pm and got a seat for one hour. Ordered Dragon which seem to be the signature. Good for price! It was the soy sauce that seems pretty salty.

Mochi in the 2nd district is no longer an insider tip, but a local institution—and for very good reason. What truly sets Mochi apart is the team. Despite the fast pace and the fact that it’s always fully booked, the service remains remarkably attentive, swift, and consistently friendly. It’s clear that these are professionals who are passionate about what they do. The menu offers a wonderful journey through modern Japanese fusion, but the undisputed highlights are the Sashimi and Sushi. Sashimi: The quality of the fish is second to none—melt-in-your-mouth tender, served at the perfect temperature, and incredibly fresh. Sushi: The creations are bold, creative, and perfectly balanced in flavor. Every single piece feels like a small work of art. My friends from Southeast Asia were surprised about the quality and authentic flavors which reminded them to their local cuisine. A night at Mochi isn't just a meal; it’s an experience. Be sure to book a table well in advance!

Overall nice sushi experience with little downsides. First of all, service was really friendly and our dishes came out quite fast (the kitchen seems to be well prepared). For a starter we shared the tori karaage chicken with some rice. The dipping sauce (chili mayo) fitted very well with the super crispy chicken, although I recommend a side dish to cut the fatiness. We then had the surf & turf, crispy buddha and the dragon roll. For the surf & turf my only complain is that the truffle mayo overpowered most of the other ingredients, so I couldn‘t really taste the beef. Regarding the crispy buddha roll I have to say that the portion size could be a bit smaller (with more pieces then), as it‘s quite big and you couldn‘t eat it in one bite, so it kind of fell apart. The dragon roll looks stunning and was my favourite (maybe a tiny bit salty). For dessert we had black sesame ice mochi, which we enjoyed. For drinks I recommend the Mandarine Kardamom Ice Tea. Make your reservation way ahead of time, especially in the evening it‘s often fully booked. For the price tag (nearly 100€) there is still a little room for improvement.

Got the Kirin room for our group of 6, had room to spare. All of the food was fantastic. I would highly recommend the signature dishes, particularly the brussel sprouts or the salmon with carrot/ginger dressing as those were group favorites. The cocktails were tasty and we enjoyed the sake selection. The surf and turf roll also was a stand out. We ended the meal with mochi, which had a wide variety of flavors. Our favorite restaurant we tried in Vienna!

I heard it was some years ago rewarded as the best restaurant value for money in Vienna. All our expectations were true. They have amazing food at reasonable prices. Definitely worth visiting it.

The food and service were very good. The room is small and very noisy. It's worth trying once. Interesting experience :)

This was a horrible experience and there was even hair inside our sushi!! We have often authentic Japanese food as we live in Hong Kong, and this was far away from anything Japanese. The flavours of the sushi were not well balanced and certain ingredients were way too strong. The skewers were way too overcooked and nearly burnt, especially the chicken one. We also had some green tea, which was just lukewarm and half full when it came. Overall, this was the worst food we had in Vienna so far. It certainly does not deserve a score above three and the Michelin award is puzzling.

We came here for sushi and sashimi only, and it was excellent. The fish was really fresh, cut perfectly, and you could taste the quality in every bite. Generous portions of sashimi, not thin slices like you sometimes get in Vienna. Service was friendly and quick without being pushy. Atmosphere is lively but relaxed. Prices are on the higher side, but fair for the quality. Definitely a place I’d come back to when craving proper sushi in the city.

One of the best Japanese restaurants in Vienna. Always booked out. A bigger place would be an improvement. Keep up the good work!

I'll start with the good, the service was friendly and the ambience was nice. Tasteful decor. However, I expected more for a Michelin bib gourmand restaurant. 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.

Eating here is an absolute must. I can't think of a single dish we had that I wouldn't get again. Even the miso soup was a standout. Would definitely recommend the tori karaage, the mushroom don, and all the sushi. You'll want a bite of everything so bring friends and share!

I usually try to eat the regional food while traveling, but I was missing sushi and saw on the Michelin guide that this was the place to go. The service was amazing. I came here by myself and sat at the bar, which was super neat, as I love watching people cook. I felt very welcomed by the host and the chef, and they both gave great recommendations. I had the Sake Wafu, which was unbelievable and probably my favorite dish out of the three. I then had the Suzuki Aburi, which was also very delicious. Finally, I took the host's recommendation and got the Poppy Noodles for dessert, which ended up being a very pleasant surprise as they at first seemed like a strange choice to me. Everything was spectacular. I will definitely be coming here again.

Taste wise it's worth 4 stars but definitely not overwhelmingly great. The seating is nice and I think it's overhyped. The reason for 3 stars is because this place is totally overpriced. You have to spend at least 30€ per person to get somehow full. What to skip: Green peppers, spinach What is worth a try: cauliflower, surf and turf, spicy salmon, fried salmon in miso sauce and chicken karaage. Note that all portions are small and largely priced.

Probably the only Michelin restaurant in the world where you can be completely ignored after sitting down despite more than enough staff hanging around.

This is a good date night spot if you dont mind sitting right next to the open kitchen. It is on the higher end of average price-wise, but I'd say the food and ambience are worth it. Everytime I walked by this place, it was always busy and you are lucky if you get a table without a reservation. We were advised to reserve a month ahead of time especially in the summer and fall season. The recommendation of the house was the Dragon Roll and Tan Tan Salad. We went for the Be My Friend Roll and Chicken Karaage. Get the chicken. Beware that rice is extra.

LOVE this place. Their sushi rolls are amazing. It's usually pretty crowded and it's not easy to get a table, therefore reserving ahead is a wise choice. Sometimes though you can get seating spots on short notice at the "bar area" but I wouldn't count on it and mostly these seats are only for small groups of people. Either way, one of the best places to eat sushi in Vienna!

Excellent service! Very friendly to my very American self dining here alone. My server was very attentive and informative about the menu. I'm not used to very saucy sushi rolls in the US so was overwhelmed by the use of mayo in the two rolls I ordered. I went with the spicy salmon and the hamachi roll, as there weren't any rolls without mayo or sauce. Overall, good flavor but strong with the sauces. I'd come back for the friendly service alone and try some other rolls or other menu items.

What a great restaurant. Very nice cozy atmosphere inside and pleasant terrace. Service was very friendly and fast in the right way. The food was nothing short of great. We had the carpaccio to start delicious! We ordered sushi nigiri plate excellent rice and cut of the fish. I even enjoyed the shrimp which so often is tasteless and consistency of flour, here it's very well cooked and great taste. We also had spicy roll, nice !!! Great experience will certainly be back.

Absolutely DELICIOUS food and drinks. Casual atmosphere and they were flexible with their ordering (we had a couple of custom requests.) A very small space though, so I'd recommend planning in advance and booking a reservation. It's a pretty tight space, too, so don't expect a lot of room to move around, which is why I removed one star - it feels pretty cramped. As you'd expect, the mochi is delicious if you're a fan, too. I'll definitely be going back!

The best place in Vienna to enjoy modern trendy Japanese. Period. Yes, there are a number of very good classic traditional Japanese restaurants in Vienna, but this is a different story. All dishes I've tried so far are fancy and really tasty. It would be hard to make the rolls any better. Their fried stuff is great, especially the warm deep-fried shrimp salad. In Austria, it will be very hard to get anything better.

The salmon sashimi was super disappointing, it was super uncomfortable chewy, not smooth and buttery as it should be. It really put me off. The other roll we ordered was bland and boring so the only redeeming thing about this place was the cocktails, absolutely not worth the money.

Best wasabi in Wein Warm and quick service High quantity chopsticks Can't miss CREME BRÛLÉE

Wow. This place was phenomenal. Every single dish we had were so tasty and well prepared. The calamari was lightly fried to perfection and the karrage chicken was delicious. Their deep fried Mochi roll was pretty good, but the holy grail was the short rib marinated to perfection. It was absolutely amazing.

There's only one word you can use in connection with Mochi - Perfection. The service is great, everyone is super friendly, the food is of an unseen quality with a changing menu while maintaining their classics (Best Friend's Roll etc.) at the highest standard. Whether you are a local or just visiting, missing out on Mochi is a no-go. Highly recommended.

It's a nice place, but the menu they gave us had the lunch specials not the items available for dinner. So, they didn't have what I originally wanted, and I ended up getting something completely different. Which was delicious, but it was a bit annoying. The server did recommend a better deal for a different thing I was ordering. So that's a plus. I definitely prefer their take out side more than their sit down joint. I only ate there once vs the multiple times I had their take out. ;) Go with that its worth it.

Does not take any credit cards. Food Was okay . But being from Los Angeles the sushi rolls were just to saucy and not what was expected . Great service and pleasant surroundings

It is without a doubt a really nice and good restaurant, far away from the cheap Asians ones you can find everywhere. Their Cuisine is full of flavors and style, and since they are very successful I would advise you to make a reservation if you want to make sure you can be sited. To be honest, it would be a nice place to take your love one on a date! I particularly enjoyed watching the talented cooks prepared our orders behind the bar/kitchen! The food tastes very good, and is well presented too. Plus, their crème brûlée with the Matcha Green Tea flavor was perfectly made, like by a French Chef pâtissier: with a crust of sugar caramelized on the top (therefor warm), but cold within. Bravo. But somehow we had to wait too long for our orders, and it was too expensive for the size of the portions... To be honest, I was surprised to see Japanese food being so... well, fatty. And I am not talking of the crème brûlée ;)

This is by far the best sushi place in Vienna, unfortunately you'll have to book a month or two in advance. Get the 'Dana rolls', they are exquisite!

Went here with a large group which was not ideal. This is a very small restaurant and should be recommended to small groups or lovers. The food was delicious and made well but too expensive for the portions of food. I ordered the spicy tuna rolls and got the green tea creme brûlée. Both were amazing and well prepared but not enough food! The ambience is nice and intimate.

After several unsuccessful attempts to book, due to the fame of this place. Some friends and I finally managed to get a table. We were all so excited! The food was absolutely extraordinary and very well presented. I had the Mochi for one and the Matcha Crème Brûlé. The service however was a disaster. First of all... We ended up being 4 people instead of three and although the fourth person could clearly fit perfectly, the waitress gave the friend that informed her about the additional person a very angry look. Secondly, one friend ordered a beer and considering the classy level of the restaurant and the prices... The fact that she wasn't brought a glass for the beer straight away was quite ridiculous. Thirdly, once a bigger table next to ours became free... Instead of approaching us politely, the waitress tapped one of my friends on the shoulder and showed the free table. All in all. The prices of the meals may as well correspond to the quality of the food which is absolutely to die for, but the service really needs improvement!

Hands down the best meal I had in Vienna and delicious vegetarian options. Make a reservation you won't regret it.

Hard to get a table mostly anytime. Not impossible - but for viennese standard rather difficult. The sushi and all of the other dishes are great though. I come here often and recommend the dana roll: avo, salmon sushi with truffle mayo on top - very delicious!

How can one not give Mochi 5 stars! Maybe one of the best restaurant in Vienna! The food is exquisite: I recommend the delicious "best friend" rolls, the "tan tan salad" and the "creme brûlée"! Drink a homemade ice tea to refresh yourself! The service is fast, professional but friendly and relaxed. You can not go wrong with Mochi.

The Reisschalen are so tasty. The place is busy at lunch but worth the wait. They have a small indoor seating area, but will open up more seating outside when the weather permits. The style of the place is cool and hipster.

This place is really good. The food is high quality, although a bit crammed, the space is nicely decorated and had a good atmosphere. For good sushi, definitely a go-to place. But beware that prices are just a bit on the higher end.

Great selection of speciality sushi rolls. Go for lunch and they have a selection of 5 delicious lunch bowl options that come with soup and salad for around 11 Euros. Top quality at a fair price. Nice outdoor seating too.

had some take out food from mochi the other day. its super delicious. the sushi is supposed to be nice too. im definately gonna try the eat in restaurant once soon. the food doesnt only taste good but looks delicious too. yummy yummy

reservation (way in advance) is a must since it is a small place. Try not to get the table near the door since you have everyone standing near you or going in and out constantly. The food is good, perhaps not cheap. In the summer, you can sit outside. we ordered the salmon sushi plate and it was very good. They also have a sushi pizza that was not typical( sushi on a potato base). All the other sushi rolls are very good and tasty.
