Both Urania Sternwarte and Shin are recommended for visiting. According to the visitors' comments, Taiwanese dishes here are quite good. Nothing can be better than ordering good belly pork, bao and broth. Great bubble tea or delicious coffee will make your meal tastier and you'll certainly come back.
The cosy atmosphere of this restaurant makes customers feel relaxed and have a nice time. The staff is friendly that's what makes Shin so good. Nice service is something that guests note in their reviews. This place offers you a great choice of dishes at democratic prices. The designer created a lovely decor. Google gives it 4.5 so you can choose this spot to have a good time here.

Nice bao bun with freshly fried tofu and tasty sauce, only wish there would have been more of a fresh crunch and counterpart besides a few strips of cucumber. The backyard is nice to sit in summer but feels slightly bare ones, some plants would make a major difference especially since thus has a nice slightly upscale feel as compared to more causal Asian places. Meal type: Other Price per person: €1–10 Vegetarian options: Available, lots of tofu options

The food was delicious and reasonably priced, and the restaurant itself has a lovely and stylish interior that creates a very pleasant atmosphere. While the service could be a bit more attentive and organized, the overall experience was still enjoyable. A charming place with good potential, especially for a relaxed meal with friends or loved ones. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: €20–30 Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

Shin Taiwanese Eatery is, without exaggeration, one of the most unexpectedly outstanding restaurants I’ve experienced — calling it exceptional would still be an understatement. In fact, this was a reservation I made before even arriving in Vienna. Living in Malta — and even in nearby Italy — Chinese restaurants are easy to find, but authentic Taiwanese cuisine is almost nonexistent. Unlike many mainland-style Chinese restaurants that rely heavily on additives and aggressive seasoning, Taiwanese cuisine is known for its balance, discipline, and respect for both flavor and health. That alone made this restaurant worth booking in advance. Now, the ironic part: We arrived with almost no appetite at all. Earlier that day, we had a Korean BBQ buffet, and by the time our reservation came around, my entire family had completely lost interest in food. We even considered canceling. But we decided to go anyway — just for drinks and maybe a dessert. That decision changed everything. After just two drinks and one dessert, the food here was so astonishing that we simply could not stop ordering. Here’s what we had: 1. Mango Matcha (Drink, €6.9) Layered with mango purée at the bottom, cream in the middle, and matcha on top. Each layer is delicious on its own — but when mixed together, it becomes something remarkably harmonious. Achieving this level of balance in a drink is rare, and it reflects a kind of precision often seen only in Taiwanese or Japanese cuisine. 2. “Mama Lemon Soda” (Drink, €5.8) I didn’t personally try it, but both my wife and my child loved it. 3. Mango Sticky Rice (Dessert, €7.9) Another highlight. The sweetness of mango, the fragrance of sticky rice, and what felt like a subtle hint of red bean — all combined into something incredibly refined. This is absolutely a must-order. 4. Duck Noodle Soup (Main, €15.5) After the dessert, my son suddenly felt hungry — so we ordered one main dish. The duck is fried before serving, giving it crispy skin and tender meat. The soup is rich with duck bone flavor, accompanied by vegetables, scallion oil, and crispy shallots. Even just reading that combination, you can imagine how satisfying it is. 5. Fried Ice Cream (Dessert, €7.5) A visually striking, almost theatrical dessert. The staff brings out a deep-fried ice cream ball, sets it in a cup, and ignites it with fire. The flame crisps the outer layer further while the inside remains cold and creamy. It’s both a performance and a flavor experience. 6. Fried Banana (Dessert, €5.9) Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Interestingly, once heated, the banana develops a sweetness reminiscent of mango. Finished with a drizzle of sauce, it’s another surprisingly impressive dessert. ⸻ We barely ordered any “proper” main dishes — yet we left completely satisfied. Every single item we tried was excellent. Not one dish fell short. This is the kind of place where even an unplanned, half-hearted visit turns into a memorable dining experience. If you are in Vienna — this is not just a recommendation. This is a place worth planning your visit around. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: €20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
