Restaurant MakkaB+Worth Trying
Drahtgasse 3, 1010 Wien, Austria
· Fusion restaurant
· 4.8/5 Google (658 reviews)
Reservations · Delivery · Takeout · Outdoor seating
Creative Pan‑Asian sushi and hot dishes with warm service in Vienna’s old town; great lunch value, occasional seasoning inconsistency and rare long waits.
Why it gets a B+ for overall quality
Makka delivers solid neighborhood dining through strong sushi quality and artful presentation paired with warm, attentive service. However, inconsistent execution in curries and occasional bland flavors prevents higher grades, and comfort issues from kitchen heat and food odors limit the dining experience. The creative fusion concept and central Vienna location with terrace appeal make it worth visiting for lunch sets and fresh sushi, though expect polished comfort rather than exceptional consistency.
Restaurant Summary
Tucked into Vienna’s old town, Makka feels cozy and modern with a calm terrace that softens the tourist bustle. Service is often warm and attentive, and plates arrive looking artful. One diner summed it up: "The chef’s selection looked like artwork and tasted fantastic." The cooking leans creative fusion more than strict tradition: omakase sushi meets Thai soups, Korean-leaning rice, and Taiwanese popcorn chicken. When it clicks, fish tastes fresh and mains pop; a few reviews found curries a touch mild or sweet, so expect polished comfort with global twists rather than purist minimalism. For families, the menu is friendly: kappa or avocado maki, chicken satay, popcorn chicken, and veggie fried rice are easy wins. There is no kids menu, but portions can be shared. Lunch sets deliver good value in euros without overordering.
