Best All-You-Can-Eat Restaurants in Vienna, ranked

Watertuin World Kitchen

4.2 / 5 out of 6241 Google Maps reviews

Watertuin World Kitchen occupies a former garden center in Floridsdorf and spreads 13 buffet and live-cooking stations across the hall, more than any other venue on this list. The price runs EUR 30.50 on weekdays and EUR 33.50 on weekends and holidays, recorded 30 July 2025, but that fee covers a full drinks buffet including alcohol, plus Austrian, sushi, Mediterranean and wok stations and a dessert bar with a chocolate fountain.

Visitor note (Google Maps) "Watertuin has steaks for that, but their quality is not sufficient."

WOA sits at Am Graben 29a, steps from Stephansplatz, and serves more than 50 warm dishes plus sushi rolls from one buffet line for EUR 24.90 per adult and EUR 12.90 per child. It operates walk-in only, daily from 11:30 to 22:30, and offers an EUR 7 add-on for unlimited non-alcoholic drinks, making it one of the easiest AYCE stops to reach without planning ahead.

Ebi runs six branches across Vienna using tablet ordering instead of a walk-up buffet, so nothing sits out and nothing gets missed. Prices vary by branch and time slot, from roughly EUR 16 to EUR 26, with the Mariahilfer Strasse location (Ebi 7) listed at EUR 24.90 for adults and EUR 12.90 for children under 10, making it a reliable pick for a quick sushi-focused meal.

Visitor note (Google Maps) "I'll gladly come back and can definitely recommend Ebi 7!"

HIRO

HIRO opened in early 2018 near the U1 station Aderklaaer Strasse and was reportedly the first Vienna restaurant to run all-you-can-eat ordering through an app, with some dishes delivered by a robot waiter. The menu spans sushi, sashimi, teppanyaki and wok dishes, with entry prices starting from around EUR 16 as of mid-2025, and the format suits group celebrations well.

Tokki Korean BBQ am Naschmarkt

4.2 / 5 out of 1626 Google Maps reviews

Tokki Korean BBQ am Naschmarkt gives each table a built-in grill for self-cooked Korean BBQ alongside a side buffet of banchan, sushi and cooked dishes, with a second branch on Mariahilfer Strasse 112. Reported pricing includes a EUR 24.90 unlimited-grill rate and a EUR 32.90 food-and-drink promotion that ran through the end of November 2025, making it a distinct, interactive alternative to standard buffets.

Visitor note (Google Maps) "Very good Korean BBQ all you can eat for only 32 Euro per person."

Best for: Social, Hands-On Korean BBQ

Wiener Deewan

Wiener Deewan drops the fixed price altogether: guests fill up on daily-changing Pakistani curries, basmati rice, naan and dessert, then pay whatever they think the meal was worth. Since 2025 the entire menu has been vegetarian and vegan, and while still water is free, other drinks carry a separate fixed charge, a detail worth knowing before ordering a round of drinks.

Kimi

4.5 / 5 out of 1040 Google Maps reviews

Kimi has run its Asia buffet in Hernals since 2001, first as Muxxu and now under second-generation family ownership. It is the cheapest sit-down option here, with a weekday lunch buffet around EUR 10 between 11:00 and 15:00, plus a la carte extras like sushi variations and signature Kimi Rolls, and it also takes phone and online orders for delivery or pickup.

Visitor note (Google Maps) "The Kimi Rolls are awesome!"

What counts as an all-you-can-eat restaurant in Vienna?

An all-you-can-eat (AYCE) restaurant in Vienna charges one fixed price for unlimited food, but the delivery format varies a lot. Watertuin World Kitchen in the 21st district runs 13 self-serve and live-cooking stations across a converted garden center, while WOA on Am Graben plates more than 50 warm dishes plus sushi from a single central buffet line. A second format, "all-you-can-eat but a la carte," lets guests order individual dishes as often as they like from a tablet or app; Ebi and HIRO both use this system across their branches.

A third format is tabletop cooking: Tokki Korean BBQ am Naschmarkt gives each table a built-in grill plus a side buffet, so guests cook their own meat while helping themselves to banchan and sushi. Wiener Deewan takes a fourth approach entirely, replacing the fixed price with "pay as you wish" for its Pakistani curry buffet. Knowing which format a venue uses matters more for planning a visit than the cuisine alone, since buffet lines move faster at lunch while app-ordered tables suit slower, multi-course evenings.

How much does all-you-can-eat cost in Vienna in 2026?

Prices in Vienna's all-you-can-eat market range widely by format and time of day. Kimi Asia Buffet Restaurant in Hernals charges around EUR 10 for its weekday lunch buffet between 11:00 and 15:00, based on customer-reported pricing. WOA lists a flat EUR 24.90 per adult and EUR 12.90 per child for its central buffet, with an optional EUR 7 add-on for unlimited non-alcoholic and select drinks. At the top end, Watertuin World Kitchen charges EUR 30.50 Monday to Thursday and EUR 33.50 on Friday, weekends, and public holidays, a price recorded by Falter on 30 July 2025, with reduced rates for children by age.

The a la carte chains sit in between: Ebi's six Vienna branches and HIRO both price between roughly EUR 16 and EUR 26 depending on the time slot, according to local listings from 2025. Wiener Deewan breaks this pattern completely by asking guests to pay what they think the meal was worth, a model the restaurant has used for years. For groups on a budget, comparing the lunch-versus-dinner price split at each venue before booking is the single biggest lever on the final bill.

Which all-you-can-eat concept fits different groups?

Different venues suit different groups. Families with young children are best served by Watertuin World Kitchen, which has 13 buffet and cooking stations plus a play area, or by WOA, where children pay roughly half the adult price. Vegetarians and vegans have the clearest option at Wiener Deewan, which switched its entire curry buffet to vegetarian and vegan dishes in 2025. Sushi-focused diners who prefer ordering exact portions rather than queueing at a buffet line should look at HIRO or Ebi, both of which use app or tablet ordering so nothing goes to waste.

Groups who want a social, hands-on meal tend to choose Tokki Korean BBQ am Naschmarkt, where tables share a built-in grill alongside an Asian buffet and sushi selection. Budget-conscious solo diners or office lunch groups are typically pointed toward Kimi in Hernals, open since 2001, where a weekday lunch buffet costs close to EUR 10. None of these formats overlaps completely, so the "best" choice depends more on group size and dietary needs than on a single overall winner.

How did Vienna's all-you-can-eat scene evolve?

Vienna's all-you-can-eat scene has grown in stages. Kimi opened in 2001 as a family-run Asian buffet restaurant in Hernals and traded under the name Muxxu before it became Kimi; it is now run by a second generation of the same family. The "all-you-can-eat but a la carte" format, where dishes are ordered individually rather than taken from a buffet, arrived later: HIRO opened in early 2018 near the U1 station Aderklaaer Strasse and was, according to local coverage, the first restaurant of its kind in Vienna to take orders through an app.

Ebi expanded the a la carte model to six locations across the city over the following years, and newer entrants such as Tokki Korean BBQ am Naschmarkt have added tabletop grilling to the mix. Watertuin World Kitchen represents the largest-scale version of the format, occupying a former garden center in Floridsdorf and running 13 stations under a concept franchised from the Netherlands. Wiener Deewan's pay-as-you-wish model has run in parallel to all of this, offering an alternative to fixed-price buffets since well before the current wave of app-based restaurants.

What should first-time visitors know before booking?

A few practical details save time before a first visit. WOA operates on a walk-in-only basis daily from 11:30 to 22:30, so reservations are not accepted or needed. Tokki Korean BBQ am Naschmarkt and HIRO both fill up quickly after 18:00 on weekdays, based on customer reports, so arriving before 18:00 or booking ahead is safer for groups of four or more. Watertuin World Kitchen and Kimi both offer separate, lower-priced windows for lunch versus dinner, so checking the exact time-based price list on their websites before arriving avoids surprises at checkout.

At Wiener Deewan, only still water is free at the table; all other drinks, including soft drinks and tea, carry a fixed price on top of whatever amount a guest chooses to pay for the food. Diners who plan to try more than one venue in a single trip should note that most of these restaurants are spread across outer districts such as Floridsdorf (1210) and Donaustadt, rather than clustered in the city center, so factoring in U-Bahn travel time between stops is worthwhile.
