Mari's Metcha Matcha

Great quality food and definitely authentic. The bento box I ordered was extremely similar to the ones I had in Japan. All ingredients tasted fresh, although I don't believe they use the same rice strain that they do in Japan, based on the texture difference. This is really a nitpick though, and it shouldn't stop you from coming here. The desserts are all on display at the front of the shop, so whatever you see is what you can order. Overall, highly recommended!

Let me start with the obvious first, before diving in the criticism. It's a very nice establishment. The waitress is extremely courteous. Elegant Japanese arts and seats are displayed in the restaurant. The dishes, as you can see from various photos, are artfully presented. My set, the sashimi set, was very enjoyable. My criticism, and also the reason why I might not want to revisit, is that it's unnecessarily expensive. The sashimi set was ~18 euros; I think it should be just 15. Nitpicking? Well, Japanese common dishes are famous for their simplicity. Compared to other Asian foods, Japanese foods are not strong in flavor complexity or heat. Ramen is the exception, but that's another story. That means, for 18 euros, you get simple fried vegetables, miso soup, two side dishes, and very little sashimi. And this is a commoner dish. One of my favorite Japanese commoner dish is the rice ball chazuke. It has more flavor complexity and even texture complexity than the sashimi set I got, and yet I know it'd cost less. So yeah, I do feel like I paid extra for the hype. And I do feel it's a bit pretentious.

**update** I am happy to say that after leaving my review Mari responded and we were able to return to the restaurant the next day. My husband got his order and loved it! We also got free drinks and a dessert and the staff was so kind and apologetic for the mix up. I really appreciate how they care of their clients and want them to have a great experience!! Even though we had a bad first impression I would definitely come back and recommend this place. The food is amazing!!! My husband and I were visiting Vienna and found this place for dinner. We decided to get take out and we were excited to try the food. Unfortunately when we looked in our bag when we got to where we were staying, only my meal was included- his was completely missing. We ended up sharing my meal which tasted very good but it’s very disappointing when we spend money for only half the food you paid for. We couldn’t go back because as I said we are visitors and can’t call to complain because I don’t that a phone line in Europe. I tried to email them but the email on their website did not work. I rarely leave negative reviews but this was too upsetting to me not to mention.
