Map and areas
Use the map to see how the options spread across Vienna, from Donau Zentrum in the 22nd district to central addresses near Herrengasse, Schleifmühlgasse and the Naschmarkt area. It can help you choose a restaurant close to your hotel, workplace or evening plans, and spot which venues are convenient for a short daytime visit or a planned dinner.
DonMono Ramen at Donau Zentrum is the clearest fit for a focused ramen meal, with named miso and shoyu styles and a convenient takeaway format. It suits a quick visit particularly well when you are already shopping or meeting in the area.
Several options offer takeaway, including DonMono Ramen, Muni Sushi, Kojiro Sushi and MeiMei Sushi Bar. The best choice depends on what you want to carry home: ramen, classic sushi, focused daytime rolls or a broader Asian menu.
For smaller restaurants, booking ahead is sensible, especially for dinner and at venues with limited seating. Muni Sushi, Kikko Bā, Mono Sushi Bar, Tsutenkaku Sushi-Haus and MeiMei Sushi Bar are better approached as planned visits when you want a specific time.
MeiMei Sushi Bar in Althanviertel combines sushi and sashimi with contemporary Asian dishes, including vegetarian options. That broader menu can work well when not everyone wants the same style of Japanese food.
Tsutenkaku Sushi-Haus offers a cozy evening setting with nigiri at its center, while SeeSushi Palais Ferstel brings creative rolls and an open-kitchen atmosphere to a refined central location. Kikko Bā is another option for a relaxed dinner built around sharing.
