About
The Vienna Würstelstand announced Shokudo Kuishimbo as a second location from the Numata family, owners of the beloved Kuishimbo lunch counter on Linke Wienzeile. Opened around 2019, the Esterházygasse location operates as an evening shokudo — a Japanese canteen format — serving a short, focused menu of Japanese home-cooking staples: oyako donburi (chicken and egg rice bowl), sashimi donburi, ramen and tonkatsu (breaded pork cutlet). The cooking style is described by TripAdvisor reviewers as 'authentic Japanese home-cooked style dishes by a Japanese family from Kyoto, Japan.' Evening-only service makes it a warm neighbourhood dinner destination.
