From melt-in-your-mouth pork to perfectly jammy eggs and crispy tofu for our plant-based pals – these bowls are not messing around. We’ve done the (delicious) work of slurping our way through Vienna to bring you the top 10 ramen spots worth your time, your taste buds, and yes, your Instagram feed. Chopsticks ready? Let’s dig in!

Tofu & Chili – Small Spot, Big Flavor

Some places fly under the radar—until word gets out. Tofu & Chili might be easy to miss from the outside, but once you’ve been, there’s no turning back. This tiny-but-mighty spot is quickly becoming Vienna’s worst-kept secret, and for good reason.

Yes, tofu and chili are the stars of the menu, but the real scene-stealer? Their hand-pulled noodles – fresh, chewy, and absolutely worth the visit. Some even claim this is the best food in town (and honestly, we won’t argue). With just a handful of tables, it’s small, cozy, and always in demand, so a reservation is your best bet. And the best part? Top-notch flavor without breaking the bank.

MAKA Ramen – Where Flavor Meets Freshness

Next stop: MAKA Ramen in Vienna’s 7th district, where bold flavors and vibrant vibes come together. This hip spot is all about top-tier ramen and Japanese tapas, and let’s just say – they’re doing it right.

The menu covers all the essentials: rich Tonkotsu ramen with melt-in-your-mouth pork belly (sourced from the organic butchers at Höllerschmid), light and balanced Shio ramen with free-range chicken from Hickelsberger, and a vegan miso ramen that holds its own. And for those who like to mix things up? MAKA serves up weekly ramen specials, so there’s always a new bowl to discover.

Here’s the deal: every day, Mochi Ramen Bar rolls out fresh, handmade noodles swimming in rich, flavorful broth. Whether you’re team classic or rocking the plant-based life, there’s a bowl for you. Start things off with some Japanese tapas, and if you somehow still have room after your ramen feast (respect), their signature mochi desserts are waiting.

No reservations here – it’s first come, first slurp, so plan accordingly. But if the place is packed or you’re craving a ramen fix at 3 AM, no worries. Just a few steps away, the Mochi Automato Shoppu has got you covered with 24/7 ramen kits. Because nothing should stand between you and a perfect bowl of noodles.

Next up: Oreno Ramen on Lerchenfelder Straße, where bold flavors meet even bolder design. You can’t miss this spot – those striking yellow accents practically demand attention (and honestly, we’re here for it). On the menu? A lineup of rich, flavorful broths, including vegan options, paired with authentic Japanese noodles and ever-changing toppings. Beyond ramen, you’ll find small bites and crispy gyoza to round out the experience. Just don’t show up expecting to tap your card – Oreno Ramen is strictly cash-only, so make sure you’ve got enough in your wallet to cover your cravings.
