"This minimalist-style brasserie with its large terrace is SHIKI’s less formal eatery. It offers a wider range of dishes from miso soup to tempura and sushi – the latter prepared before you as you sit at the sushi bar." - Michelin Inspector

"Shikitranslates as "four seasons" and, indeed, this tastefully elegant fine dining restaurant takes its cue from the seasons. Using top-quality produce, the kitchen team seamlessly combines classic and Austrian influences with techniques and ingredients from Japanese cuisine to create bold and intriguing dishes. A seven-course set menu is served on Thu, Fri and Sat evenings, as well as on Fri afternoons. The central location is also fantastic, with the State Opera practically around the corner." - Michelin Inspector

An absolute standout - refined, elegant, and genuinely exceptional. We ordered the sashimi platter, salmon sashimi, nigiris, miso soup, salad, edamame, and the wagyu burger, and every single dish was outstanding. The fish was incredibly fresh and perfectly cut, especially the sashimi, which truly stole the show. Even the edamame was spot-on, and the wagyu burger was rich, juicy, and full of flavour - a brilliant fusion touch done right. The whole experience felt polished yet relaxed, with attentive service and a beautiful setting that lets the food shine. Everything we tried was so, so good, and it’s clear that quality is at the heart of what they do. Shiki is easily a must-visit if you love great sushi and beautifully executed dishes.

Great place, nice food but some staff still having the racism attitudes. In a restaurant with Michelin recognition staff attitude is more important than food, can these type of staff be employed in Vienna, Austria only?

Perfection across the board! The sushi was expertly prepared and everything was delicious! The service was impeccable as well! Save room for the molten chocolate cake for desert!

The quality of the food its really good, but not sure its up to either the expectations or the price. The highlight the tempura quality of the shrimps. However my dinner at Shiki felt like you fall short of their inside dinner, the ambience its not really welcoming nor upscale, a bit boring and not well designed (feels like tagging along the table of you neighbors all the time, squeezed). Service it feels like its really really busy all the time. My take, unless you are really craving this food, skip or find better uptions, or if you planned it in advance might bee good to try their upscale version inside.

My partner and I went there to celebrate my birthday. Ambient was nice, food was ok. However, towards the end of the meal, we had the feeling the waiter was annoyed at us for requesting to take a photo for us and did not really cared to do it properly. When asked a second time for another photo because the first one was with bad lighting and had other guests in them staring into the camera, he gave my partner an annoyed look and reaction when he came over. As this is such an expensive fine dining restaurant, one would expect the service staff to be more accommodating of such requests, especially on a celebration dinner where one would like to have photo memories, regardless of whether or not they are busy. I have had amazing experiences at other restaurants where the wait staff made the effort to take great pictures for the guests. The price of the tasting menu per person is rather high for what you get, and for that we expected better food and service.

I was craving sushi and found this restaurant in the Michelin guide. The food was ok despite the sushi rice being a bit mushy. Quality of fish/seafood was really great. The miso butterfish was lacklustre and needed more miso flavor especially at that price point. Service you was not very attentive and it took a while to be greeted after being seated and to receive my check.

Background Positioned as one of Vienna's premier Japanese restaurants, Brasserie Shiki attracts a well-heeled crowd with its promise of authentic flavours in a sophisticated setting. But does it deliver beyond the sleek facade? Ambience It is stylish and contemporary, with clean lines and muted tones creating a modern izakaya feel. The outdoor seating offers pleasant people-watching when weather permits, though traffic noise from the main road disrupts the tranquillity. Service It was surprisingly lacklustre for a restaurant of this calibre. While the local regulars received warm welcomes and farewells, our party experienced perfunctory, borderline indifferent service—a stark contrast to Japanese hospitality standards. Food & Drink The maki rolls were forgettable, and the unagi-avocado combination missed the mark with its flavour and mushiness. The black cod was perfectly caramelised with buttery flesh, and the smoky eggplant was flavourful and had texture. I enjoyed the braised shallot sushi, an inventive vegan option that outshone traditional offerings Overall A service that fails to match its premium positioning. It's worth visiting for the cod and creative vegan options.

The food was really good, but the service was not good enough for the price and the fame. I had the sushi plate and the staff did not bother to explain what I was eating. One waitress did with the deserts we ordered.

Very rude staff with no sense how to talk to kids and senior citizen , unpleasing experience , would never recommend.

Coming from California and having traveled all over Japan i was inspired to hear about this Japanese/Viennese chef having created this experience in Vienna. Shiki was very highly recommended by our concierge who was constantly being challenged by us to find a restaurant that served something other than goulash and snitzel. The rolls we ordered were boring. The sushi was ok. The ambiance was sophisticated and very pleasant. It made me miss Ventura blvd and the myriad of sushi restaurants that dot it for a two mile stretch in the valley. I will never complain about the sushi in Los Angeles ever again!

Had wagyu burger, taste was great and better than expected. Service was also great. Thanks

Let's just say the fish chef should get some training how to cut fish. Very poor skills. I think the owner should sharpen the knives.

Certainly this was the best meal we had in Vienna over our 6 days here. While I loved sampling the food stalls at the various Christmas markets we visited, the Viennese cafes, and the European fine dining, after a few days my body was done with European food and just needed some Asian flavors. Shiki did not disappoint. It was all my Japanese comfort foods, heightened to beautiful new heights. I really loved how there was classic Viennese and European ingredients but done in a very Japanese way. Chef Hattori really shines brightly with desserts. While our entire meal was heavenly, the desserts are what stood out and were absolutely memorable. In a city filled with amazing desserts, I didn't expect for the very best - most enjoyable, artfully presented, and delicious - to come from a Japanese restaurant. They were so good, that it put the Cafe Sachers, Landtmanns, Demels and all the other "classic" Viennese places we tried, to absolute shame. Coming here for our last night in Vienna was a beautiful way to say goodbye to this amazing city. Having dined here makes me less sad that I am missing Osechi-ryoori (traditional Japanese New Years meal) at home with my parents. I highly recommend Shiki for a beautiful meal. I look forward to coming back someday.

Do not order the bento box !! They did not make any of it fresh-- tasted like a buffet at best. You can tell it was very old. For the price - very bad value. The service was great though.

Nice chic place in the heart of Vienna. They don't have the most authentic Japanese cuisine available in Vienna, but certainly do a very good job in a romantic and well-designed location. Plus the opening hours are very accommodating and not usual in Vienna: They practically open all the way from noon to midnight.

Probably one of the worst sushi I've ever had. You might as well have sushi from a grocery store. The sushi is seasoned terribly, the nigri was minuscule, and it was far too expensive for bad sushi. This place should stick to the basics because this weird sushi was bad.

Lars H.

A very nice place. The room in the front is beautiful and feels tranquil, lounge-like, maybe like the hip cafeteria of a well-designed modern art museum. The staff is attentive and pleasant without stiffness. The food was of excellent quality with a noticable love for flavor nuances. Many subtle spices and tastes took the food into interesting directions. From the brushed-on soy sauce on the perfectly cut nigiri pieces, to the saffron in the potato cream complimenting the juicy Loup de Mer. Even the Gelber Muskateller was a nice pick with not too much fruit. It was a great experience and I am looking forward to the next time.

I visited this place for dinner. Very nice and classy ambience. You wouldnt know that this was a japanese place if not for the sushi chefs at the front of the restaurant. The food and ingredients were fresh and beautifully presented. If you are planning on visiting, dont expect a traditional japanese restaurant. Its a modern take on japanese ingredients, so the flavours are quite different from typical japanee cuisine. The menu items are also very different from a typical japanese restaurant. Slightly pricey in my opinion, but this is definitely a nice place to try if you are into fusion japanese food in a beautiful setting.

Brasserie on one side and fine dining on the other (back). Neither fish nor fowl: Somewhat weird, experimental Austrian-Asian (Japanese? It is not! Don't bother trying the sushi!) cuisine. On top of everything quite pricey it is. Service is good but entirely un-Japanese.

Jayden D.

Stay away as this is the mother of all tourist traps. Even though the target group appears to be the local it is really the rich tourists strolling-by. Food is below average by any standard. The cut of the sushi is poor, only the ingredients (fish and rice) is good. Unfortunately even the service quality is not exactly the best in town either. Most eye-catching is the interior.
