Four Korean restaurants in Austria (Salzburg, Linz, Graz, Hard) where you can eat Korean food.
What do you do when you can’t travel to South Korea to eat delicious Korean dishes? You look for Korean restaurants closer to home, even when you are on holiday in Austria.
As I didn’t visit Vienna – 2020 was not the best year for visiting cities with lots of people – I looked for Korean restaurants in other cities.
Let me share my restaurant tips for those of you visiting Salzburg, Linz, Graz, or Hard (near Bregenz).
1) Restaurant Hibiskus in Salzburg
Restaurant Hibiskus in Salzburg is my favorite Korean restaurant in Austria. This restaurant has an extensive menu with at least six options for Korean tea. We ate spicy stir-fried pork and an autumn beef stew with dates, chestnuts, and lots of meat. Plus, of course, a serving of Korean Fried Chicken as a side dish. The quality and taste of the food are very good.
Hibiskus is quite popular at lunchtime, although most people order the daily menu which was Italian food that day.
Location: Mirabellplatz 1 (Neues Mozarteum), 5020 Salzburg, Austria

2) Restaurant DAO in Linz
Another good Korean restaurant, this time in Linz. Restaurant DAO serves most of the well-known Korean dishes plus some dishes that you can’t find in every Korean restaurant. For example, I am still waiting for a restaurant to start serving Jjajangmyeon in my country.
Not surprisingly, I recommend the Jjajangmyeon (big bowl!). We also ate Kim Sam Bok and Da Kang Jeong (which was nothing like Korean Fried Chicken). Delicious food!

3) Restaurant Akakiko in Graz
With this restaurant, we cheated a bit. Akakiko is a Japanese restaurant that serves Japanese and Asian Fusion dishes. You can, however, find Korean food like Bulgogi, Sweet Gochujang Chicken, Bibimbap, and Kimchi on the menu. So I’d say this restaurant counts, even if the taste of the Bulgogi was a little less Korean than what I’m used to.Â
Just remember that restaurant Akakiko is an option if you are in Graz and crave Korean food.
Location: Sparkassenpl. 2, 8010 Graz, Austria

4) Restaurant Okims in Hard
We were about to visit this Korean restaurant when the area turned orange (coronavirus warning), so we skipped this town and drove home instead. At Okims you can order a variety of Korean dishes. This restaurant has some dishes that the restaurants I mentioned earlier don’t serve. So it can be quite a (welcome) challenge to decide what to eat.
