I lived in Korea and I needed to check out this place. Friendly service. They immediately gave me a cup of miso soup and three kimchis (gratis). Had the bibimbap-huge bowl, lots of meat. They don’t add the hot sauce to it, but give you what looks like a ketchup bottle full of hot bean paste sauce to add to it. Food came quickly. Delicious food, very authentic.

I’ve been going to Maru Korean Cuisine & Sushi for years, and it continues to be one of my favorite local spots in Vienna. It’s a family-run gem that quietly serves some of the best Korean food in the area, along with surprisingly solid sushi.
Food
The Korean dishes are outstanding—flavorful, consistent, and clearly made with care. Favorites like bulgogi, hot stone bibimbap, and their short rib rice bowls are comforting and always hit the mark. The seasoning is on point, the portions are generous, and it just feels like home-cooked food done right.
Their sushi is also very good, especially considering this isn’t a full-scale sushi bar. The fish is always fresh, the rolls are well-prepared, and they don’t overload things with unnecessary sauces. It’s clean, simple, and delicious.
Service
Yes, the service can be a little slow at times, especially when they’re busy, but honestly, that’s never bothered me. The staff is extremely polite, warm, and welcoming—you never feel rushed or ignored. I’d much rather wait a few extra minutes and be treated kindly than feel like I’m just another table. The personal touch here goes a long way.
Ambiance
If I had to nitpick, the ambiance could use a refresh. It’s clean and functional but not particularly stylish. That said, it’s cozy, quiet, and unpretentious—which actually makes it a relaxing place to enjoy a meal. And the plentiful parking out front is a huge plus in Vienna.
✅ Final Thoughts
Maru isn’t flashy, but it’s the kind of place you keep coming back to—because the food is excellent, the people are kind, and it always feels like a reliable, quality experience. After years of eating here, I can confidently say they’ve earned every bit of support they get.
Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates great Korean food and good sushi in a laid-back setting.

I ordered the pork bulgogi after work for lunch. It was delicious! Plus, the portion was huge.
The food came quickly and the servers were nice. I was given free miso soup and banchan with my entree, which was a nice perk.

Good service. Attentive but not overly so.
We ordered Japchae, bulgogi, Japanese fried chicken and all were very good. Really liked there kimchi!
Plenty of parking and seating. Always a good sign to see Koreans in a Korean restaurant! ☺️ Will definitely go back.

I recently had a meal at a restaurant with a friend and noticed some changes since our last visit. The interior decor had become more straightforward, with dark green walls replacing the previously abundant dark wooden furniture. It also appeared that the restaurant was undergoing some renovation. We also noticed that the back wall of the sushi bar counter was now adorned with white tiles. Furthermore, the restaurant has more Japanese dishes than Korean cuisine.
The food we had was decent, but it had the potential to be better. The house salad was passable, although it had a slightly sweet taste. While the sashimi was not the freshest, it still had a good overall flavor. We enjoyed the Korean Rib Hot Stone Rice, as it was warm and savory. The pickled radish and kimchi on the side were perfectly fermented and had a nice crunchy texture.

Maru Korean Cuisine & Sushi is a solid spot for flavorful, satisfying Korean and Japanese dishes. The Korean BBQ and bibimbap are well-seasoned and cooked perfectly, and the sushi rolls are fresh and nicely presented. Portions are generous, the service is friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere is casual and welcoming — perfect for a relaxed meal with friends or family. Definitely a place I’d return to for consistently tasty food.

Came here on a weekday lunch. I ordered eel bento box. The box came with salad, roll, tempura, and eel over rice. They were all ok – I can eat this if I am in the area but would not make a trip to eat here.
Service was ok. No special interactions or anything that went above and beyond. They did what they were supposed to do.
Atmosphere is ok. It looks like Japanese restaurants but has Korean cuisine as well. I would recommend them focus on one cuisine and not diversify too much while sacrificing quality.

Nice, cosy restaurant that has a lot of options for Korean and Japanese food. The lunch special here was really good value as you got a lot of food, and the grilled eel was delicious. Food came really quickly and good service too.
