Ra’mien
Picture a grey-white room in minimalist look and lots of bright, young hip things bent over piping-hot noodles and you have Ra’mien. The menu covers a good swath of Asia, with a choice of Thai, Japanese, Chinese and Vietnamese noodle soups and rice dishes. Ra’mien fills up quickly at night, so it’s best to book to avoid having to wait for a table; the lounge bar downstairs has regular DJs and stays open until at least 2am.

ON
ON is quite rightly seen as the best Austro-Asian fusion restaurant in the southern Vorstadt. The ambience is relaxed and friendly, and the young staff are likely to kick off the meal with a complimentary appetiser of bread in cold-pressed olive oil and a few prawn chips. After that, order from a menu that spans neo-Beisl fare such as chicken liver with chilli, gan-bien (fried) beef strips or trout with ginger. The menu changes according to season and the whim of the chef. The small, private garden is lovely in summer; reserve in the evening.

Chang Asian Noodles
Chang is a small, well-established Asian diner a short walk from the Innere Stadt. The venue is bright, open, uncomplicated and highly relaxed, while the service is quick and attentive. Noodles (either fried or in a soup) are the mainstay of a menu spanning the Asian continent (at least from China to Singapore) – expect plenty of chicken, prawns (both baby and tiger) and vegetable choices. Everything is available for takeaway. The affiliated duck restaurant next door (mains €13 to €16) has the same hours.

Chang Asian Duck
Chang Asian Duck is the classier brother of Chang Asian Noodles, with soothing shades of red and brown, an intimate atmosphere, and a focus on floral art. The cuisine is wok-based, and as the name suggests, the speciality here is duck; duck breast in a tangy orange sauce and grilled-duck curry are both highlights, but the godly Beijing duck, which must be ordered two days in advance to allow proper marination, tops the bill. After the meal retire to the lounge bar downstairs for cocktails.

Kim Kocht
The Korean and Japanese cuisine of Kim Kocht is highly sought after in Vienna’s culinary circles for its originality, quality and the creativity shown in presentation. The three- to five-course menus are constantly changing but often feature fish as the main, and organic produce is always used. Although the restaurant has more recently moved into larger premises, reservations of about one month ahead are still advisable. Kim Kocht also offers cooking courses.

Kiang
Among the three Kiangs in Vienna, this one conveniently close to Stephansplatz is your best option for a snack on the run. Quality stand-up light sushi, meat or vegetarian curries and noodles (even wraps if they’re not sold out) are surprisingly inexpensive. For sit-down sushi and sashimis, though, head out to the Landstrasse Kiang as the designer tones there create a more relaxed setting. Prices for mains (€11.80 to €19.50) in all branches are the same.

Gu
If you choose carefully in the evening or take advantage of the lunch dishes, Gu can be a very inexpensive way to fill up on noodles, rice and pan-Asian curries between forays into Alsergrund and Josefstadt. A chicken curry with coconut milk costs about €9, and whatever hasn’t been sold out from the lunchtime blackboard can be ordered at the day price in the evening. Gu doesn’t aspire to culinary sensation, but it does honest, satisfying dishes.

Yohm
A typical scene in Yohm is of black-clad waiters gliding between tables to refill glasses with celebrated Austrian wines as diners revel in views of Peterskirche while enjoying contemporary Asian cuisine. Sushi looms large on the menu, but consider ordering one of the kitchen’s more unusual offerings – udon noodles with Scottish salmon or fried duck roll with fresh mint and plum sauce. Set menus are cheaper on weekdays.

Mr Lee
If the smells wafting from the door of this small Asian diner don't pull you inside, there's a good chance the smiling, friendly staff greeting passers-by will. The menu wanders across much of Asia, taking in Japanese sushi, Thai green curries and Chinese noodle dishes. Take a pew inside and watch the cooks prepare your meal in front of your eyes, or a table outside and enjoy the hustle and bustle of the Naschmarkt.

Saigon
The second of the Saigon restaurants (the other is in Mariahilf), this branch has an enormous, kitsch mural on the wall and like its brethren offers some of the best Asian (mostly Vietnamese) dining in Vienna, based on homemade noodles. Spicy grilled beef, fried duck served in pineapple and a range of noodle soups are its hallmarks.

Kim Kocht Shop & Studio
Kim Kocht has been the talk of the town for years. Its Korean and Japanese cuisine is highly sought after in Vienna's culinary circles for its originality, quality and the creativity shown in presentation. The restaurant only seats 25 and its popularity means reservations at least one month ahead are essential; if it's full anf you haven't booked, stop in next door at the Shop & Studio for a quick snack of sushi, wok-vegetables or Thai noodles.
