NIKKAI Cafe & Restaurant Wien

What a beautiful restaurant! The design is stunning 😍 You just want to keep taking photos. You sit and simply enjoy the atmosphere. The Lillet Wildberry cocktail is now one of my favorites. I liked the crispy crunchy sushi, but my friend didn’t enjoy them as much. I’ll definitely come back again.

The waitress tried her best, was friendly, helpful, and explained / apologized as good as she could. Food sure took its time. The place is extremely noisy, hard surfaces everywhere make it difficult to hold a conversation at your table. The restaurant was pretty busy l and we may have caught a poor day in the kitchen, but our food was sadly not up to expectations with the chicken as a notable exception, this was excellent. Will give ut another shot as the concept has promise and they just opened.

The interior design feels more like a coffee shop than a restaurant. The chicken karaage was decent, but the crab karaage lacked any real crab flavor—mostly just crispy batter. The sushi isn’t among the best you’ll find in Vienna; it might be fine for those who don’t eat sushi often, but it didn’t impress. Personally, I’d opt for other menu items like the linguine or meat dishes next time, as the food we tried didn’t quite live up to our expectations. That said, the mochi dessert was genuinely tasty.

The interior and atmosphere are amazing, but these are definitely not the best sushi in town as some people say. I recommend trying the fried crab Krebs Karaage—a really interesting appetizer! Other dishes didn’t impress us much. We came during lunch when the place was empty, so we can’t say if the service is fast or not.

Love this new place in the heart of Vienna. The interior decoration is simply amazing, staff are all attentive and nice, we had a nice seat just direct in front of the kitchen so we could have a look how the food are prepared and everything looks so tidy. As for the food, it really did what it says, Japanese fusion. A wonderful combination of international cuisine with Asian flavor in every dish. We really enjoyed our evening there and would surely come back!
