Why go
Aming Dim Sum Profi on Rechte Wienzeile is one of Vienna's few dedicated dim sum spots, filling a genuine gap in the city's dining scene. It suits casual lunches, solo diners, sharing-plate groups rather than special occasions. Easy to walk in, low-pressure, a reliable option when you want something lighter than Vienna's default Austrian fare.
About Aming Dim Sum Profi
Quick Verdict
Aming Dim Sum Profi on Rechte Wienzeile is one of the few places in Vienna to get dim sum done with genuine focus. If you are looking for a casual, low-cost lunch or early dinner in the 5th district with a clear culinary identity, it is worth knowing about. It is not a special-occasion venue, but for what it does, the format is direct and the value proposition is clear in a city where Chinese food ranges widely in quality.
What to Expect
Dim sum as a format rewards repetition; the experience here is built around small portions ordered across several rounds, which suits a relaxed pace better than a single-dish dinner. Visually, expect a functional room: this is a neighbourhood restaurant, not a design statement. The draw is the food, not the setting. If you are comparing this to the high-end Austrian and Modern European dining that dominates Vienna's fine-dining tier; venues like Steirereck im Stadtpark or Konstantin Filippou, Aming operates in an entirely different register. The price point and format are incomparable; what Aming offers is accessibility and specificity in a category that Vienna does not oversupply.
For context on how dim sum fits into the broader Vienna dining scene, our full Vienna restaurants guide covers the range from neighbourhood spots to Michelin-level tasting menus. If you are planning a wider trip, the Vienna hotels guide, bars guide, and experiences guide are useful companion resources.
Who Should Book
This is the right call for groups who want to share plates without ceremony, solo diners who want something quick and reliable, or anyone tired of Vienna's heavier Austrian staples and looking for a lighter, vegetable-forward meal. It is not the venue for a business dinner or a milestone celebration, for those, look at Mraz & Sohn or Amador instead. Aming's strength is its niche: focused dim sum in a city where that niche is genuinely underserved.

How It Compares
If you are building a Vienna dining itinerary and want to understand where Aming sits relative to the city's celebrated fine-dining venues, the comparison is direct: Aming is a neighbourhood dim sum spot, while venues like Steirereck im Stadtpark and Mraz & Sohn operate at the very leading of Austria's Michelin tier. They serve different purposes. For creative modern cooking with serious wine lists and tasting-menu architecture, consider Doubek or Amador. For a broader look at what Austria's restaurant scene offers beyond Vienna, Döllerer in Golling an der Salzach and Obauer in Werfen are worth the trip if you are travelling through Salzburg province.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Aming Dim Sum Profi sits modestly on Rechte Wienzeile in Vienna’s working 5th district, and its tone reflects the neighbourhood: domestic, low-key and quietly confident. The room favors unpretentious, relaxed service that lets the food take center stage rather than theatrical dining rituals. Because Vienna doesn’t have a dense dim sum scene, the place reads like a locally minded outpost—small-scale and approachable rather than grand or showy. That restrained personality makes it an easy choice for anyone after an unfussy, authentic experience focused on shareable plates and steady execution.
Best For
This is a venue built for shared meals: dim sum’s table-wide ordering model makes it ideal for groups and families who enjoy sampling across plates. The dining format encourages conversation and passing food around, so it works well for casual get-togethers where discovery and variety matter more than a formal tasting sequence. The surrounding neighbourhood’s residential character also means the room skews low-key, so it’s a comfortable spot for relaxed group dining rather than celebratory spectacle or formal business dinners.
Ordering Tips
Dim sum at Aming is organized around simultaneous choice and incremental ordering—expect to order in rounds and share everything at the table. Lean on classics and the kitchen’s signatures—Sichuan beef and chili dumplings are noted highlights—and start with a few dumpling plates to establish momentum before adding heartier items. The format rewards pacing: order conservatively at first and follow with additional plates as the table settles in, so you can taste more without wasting food.

Restaurant context
Comparing Aming Dim Sum Profi to Vienna's fine-dining tier is not a useful exercise for most decisions. Steirereck im Stadtpark and Mraz & Sohn are Michelin-recognised tasting-menu destinations operating at €€€€ price points; they require advance planning, smart dress, a commitment to a multi-hour evening. Aming is a walk-in neighbourhood restaurant for casual dim sum. These venues do not compete for the same booking.
If you are weighing up where to spend your serious dining budget in Vienna, Konstantin Filippou and Silvio Nickol Gourmet Restaurant both offer structured modern tasting menus with strong technical credentials and are harder to get into. APRON is a useful middle option; creative Austrian cooking in a more relaxed format than the full Michelin-tier venues. Book APRON if you want a considered meal without the full ceremony of a tasting menu evening.
Aming's real competition is Vienna's broader casual and ethnic dining scene, not its fine-dining tier. If dim sum specifically is what you want and Aming is not accessible on a given day, your alternatives are limited in Vienna; which is precisely what makes it worth knowing about.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What are alternatives to Aming Dim Sum Profi in Vienna?
If you want dim sum specifically, options in Vienna are thin, which is part of what makes Aming on Rechte Wienzeile worth noting. For a broader Chinese dining experience, the 2nd district has a cluster of Chinese restaurants worth comparing. If you are open to other Asian cuisines, Naschmarkt-adjacent spots in the 5th and 6th districts offer more variety, though dim sum as a dedicated format remains rare across the city.
Is Aming Dim Sum Profi good for a special occasion?
Not really the right call for a milestone dinner. Aming is a casual, share-plates operation on Rechte Wienzeile in Vienna's 5th district; the format suits a relaxed group meal, not a celebration that needs atmosphere or ceremony. For a Vienna special occasion, Konstantin Filippou or Silvio Nickol Gourmet Restaurant are the more appropriate choices.
Is Aming Dim Sum Profi good for solo dining?
Yes, arguably one of the better formats for it in Vienna. Dim sum at Aming is ordered in small rounds, so a solo diner can work through a few dishes without committing to large portions. The casual setting on Rechte Wienzeile means there is no pressure to linger or perform.
What should I wear to Aming Dim Sum Profi?
Come as you are. Aming is a casual dim sum spot in Vienna's 5th district, not a fine-dining room with dress expectations. Everyday clothes are appropriate; this is a place built around shared plates and a relaxed pace, not presentation.
Can Aming Dim Sum Profi accommodate groups?
Dim sum is inherently a group format, so yes, this is one of the better-suited venues in Vienna for a table of four or more who want to share plates across rounds. Larger groups should check capacity directly; venue size data is not confirmed, so calling ahead is advisable to avoid a wait.
