bok sushi bar & vegetarian restaurant, vienna

I never thought I would type in “shit” to be published on any of my blogs one day but the name of this restaurant (Bok) means exactly that in Turkish.

I found out about this place during my search for vegetarian restaurants in parts of Europe before we even got to Vienna. Not because of their reputation or anything, simply because of the meaning of “Bok” in Turkish. If only they had known… Of course, we didn’t tell them but we had to try the place out.

We took the bus (or tram) to go and find this place but it was worth it. I don’t know about you but after trying vegetarian versions of every single local dish we end up missing a large dose of vegetables. When that happens, we start searching for a vegetarian Asian restaurant. So, this is exactly what happened: The urge for vegetable dishes kicked in and we found ourselves at the door of Bok Restaurant.

It’s a small place with an air of family-run restaurant. They are specialised in sushi and other Asian delicacies. They have a menu with pictures which helps as they don’t speak very good English there.

As for the starters, we had Hana Sushi (as seen in the photo above). It is the inside out style of sushi and it was fresh and delicious. It came with pickled ginger and wasabi paste.

As for the main, we had Crispy Vegi Chicken in Teriyaki Sauce to share. This was also quite delicious. The teriyaki sauce was not too heavy or sticky. The vegetables were cooked lightly so they were nice and crispy, too.

2023 Update: Bok Sushi Bar & Vegetarian Restaurant still has the same website however, it’s no longer a vegetarian place. I’m suspecting, the decision of switching to a non-veg menu probably had something to do with COVID.
