SHIKI Japanese Cuisine occupies a single counter of eight seats on Krugerstraße in Vienna's Innere Stadt, a few steps from the original SHIKI Japanese Fine Dining house. The restaurant is part of what its owners call the World of SHIKI, a cluster of Japanese-focused ventures founded by Joji Hattori that also includes a sake boutique next door. The omakase format here centers on Edomae-style sushi, served at a counter built for close contact between diners and the kitchen.
Service runs on a tight schedule: dinner only from Tuesday to Thursday, 18:00 to midnight, and both lunch and dinner on Friday and Saturday, from noon to midnight. The restaurant is closed Sunday and Monday. Pricing sits at the top of the local scale, placed in the luxury tier, though no fixed menu price is published.
With only eight seats and no online booking system, reservations are taken by phone. English is spoken, which matters for visitors navigating the call-in process from abroad. Given the small room, booking ahead — rather than walking in — is the realistic way to secure a spot, particularly around the Friday and Saturday lunch sittings when the restaurant is open outside its usual evening-only pattern.
The address, Krugerstraße 3 in the 1010 postal district, puts the restaurant in the heart of central Vienna, within easy reach of the Ringstraße and the main shopping streets of the Innere Stadt. There is no walk-in counter culture described here; this is a reservation-first room built around a fixed number of seats and a single nightly or lunchtime sitting.
