If, as a guest, you want to take the chair you're sitting on with you, a restaurant has done a lot right, at least in terms of interior design. But if the food tastes so good that you quickly forget about the chair, it has done pretty much everything right. And that's exactly what the Japanese restaurant Ukiyo in Glockenbach has done. It's not only beautiful here, but also really good.

Ukiyo in Rumforstraße, not far from the Viktualienmarkt, has already received much praise for its interior design. And we can only echo this praise.

It's very instagrammable here, but not at the expense of comfort. Whether you're sitting by the large window with a great view of the passers-by, a little further back in the darker section or enjoying sushi and drinks at the bar, it's a great place to spend a long time.

However, this is not only due to the furnishings, but also to the courteous and attentive service. And of course the food itself. We started the evening with a classic miso soup and agedashi dofu. Agedashi dofu is served at Ukiyo for 7.90 euros and consists of crispy silken tofu with dashi sauce, ginger and radish. A little dream for all tofu fans. We continued with classic sushi. If you don't fancy that, you can also order a bowl of tuna, tofu or salmon.

Back to the sushi: in addition to the classic maki with salmon and avocado, we were particularly impressed by the maki roll with spinach and sesame sauce (€5.30), the ukiyo rolls with avocado, mango and cream cheese (€11.90) and the one with flambéed tuna, avocado, cream cheese and mango (€16.90). The gunkan maki - affectionately known on the menu as the "battleship roll" - is also a sight to behold and taste to behold, for example when it comes with diced tuna and raw organic quail eggs or sea urchin. No matter what we tried, it was really good sushi.

To finish, we had a mochi trio garnished with berries - accurately divided, because we thought one portion would be enough. But of course it never is, because mochi is simply too delicious. So it's better to order a separate plate for each person so as not to jeopardize the harmonious atmosphere.

So if you fancy really good sushi in beautiful surroundings, we can only recommend Ukiyo. On our next visit, we'll also take a closer look at the drinks menu, as the restaurant in Rumforstraße is also said to be quite good in this area.
