New fast food hit: Chicken Karate opens at Vorgartenmarkt!
In the heart of Vienna, more precisely at the Vorgartenmarkt, things are going fast again. Since November 4th, the new restaurant “Chicken Karate” has been offering a fast food concept in a casual atmosphere. After the former “Mochi am Markt” was closed for almost a year, the Mochi Group has now relaunched the cuisine based on Japanese “Karaage”, or fried chicken. Stand 16 offers a menu that appeals to both meat lovers and vegetarians, with no reservations required, making the experience particularly uncomplicated. Again courier reports, guests can expect self-service and a waiting time of only about 15 minutes.
Chicken Karate's menu boasts a range of delicious offerings. Highlights include the Chicken Nanban Burger and its vegan counterpart, the Nasu Tonkatsu Burger. The latter is presented with crispy aubergine and a special tonkatsu sauce. Chicken tenders, “dirty fries” with Japanese curry sauce and a chicken teriyaki sando also provide tasty variety. If you like things a little spicier, you can look forward to future additions like spicy chicken wings like this Austria notes.
A concept with space to linger
The new location can accommodate around 40 to 45 people, and there is also a bar area that invites you to linger when the weather is nice. “Chicken Karate” not only offers fresh fast food, but also a solid selection of drinks. Whether beer, spritzers or soft drinks – there is something for every taste.
The choice of location at Vorgartenmarkt is certainly no coincidence. Fast food concepts enjoy constant popularity, especially when they use local and high quality ingredients. This trend is interesting, especially when you look at the fast food market in Japan, where there is a change in eating habits. As a report on the market shows, consumers have placed increasing importance on healthy, ethically sourced and nutritious ingredients in recent years, which is also reflected in Chicken Karate's offering. The fast food business is moving away from the idea that it is unhealthy and is becoming more and more environmentally friendly, which also applies to the Viennese catering sector.

Opening times have also been set: Tuesday to Saturday from 12 p.m. to 9 p.m., so that Viennese people can enjoy their quick chicken even at a later hour. But it's not just the chicken that plays a role; With its new concept, the Mochi Group shows a good knack for combining local flair and international trend, and the Austrian audience was apparently hungry for such a tasty fast food alternative.
