Reviews
Overall, breathtaking experience, 10/10 would recommend.
However, personally I think there are some improvements that could have been made. First is the flavor and amount of rice. The rice grain is slightly broken , too overpowered by sugar and vinegar, as well as salt. So it cannot flatter the freshness of the fish, the amount of rice is also too much for a handroll. Second, the cut on the fish is not delicate, slightly on the big end of the size, making it a bit clumsy. Third, the hot and cold kitchen should be completely separated in a Japan restaurant but here, the chefs handled both cold dishes like sushi and hot dishes like tempura at the same time, in the same space, they did wash their hands but it still raise concern about food safety. Fourth, the handroll is left sitting a bit long before serving to the customer, making the nori layer no longer crunchy enough. Fifth, the lobster and crab handrolls both use crab/lobster imitation, which I think will not provide the best taste.
From the moment you walk in, the space gives off omakase vibes elegant, intimate, and stylish but the experience is refreshingly casual and much more affordable than a true omakase. The restaurant only has high-top tables, which adds to its chic, modern feel.
I didn’t know what to expect when my friends brought me here, but wow I was blown away. The cuts of fish for the nigiri were incredibly generous! almost too big to fit in one bite and every piece was fresh and flavorful. The hand rolls were absolutely packed and just as delicious.
My favorites were the wagyu, toro, tuna, yellowtail, pickled cucumber, and chu-toro. Everything tasted high quality and well worth the price.
They also have a solid wine and sake selection. I had a cup of sake that was tasty but quite small for $9—next time I’ll definitely go for the $35 bottle instead.
This place is 100% going on my go-to sushi list. Can’t wait to come back again!
I was fooled by the social media accounts of Austin. While I understand the food scene in Austin is no where near as good as Houston, but pleasseee for the love of god, work on customer service. Especially at a sushi place.
Both waiters barely acknowledged me
When it was time to order, the waiter didn’t even bother to ask me what I wanted. After my friend had ordered, he had walked away. And I looked at my friend saying it loud, “he just completely skipped me”. Like damn. When he was close by, I flagged him and said “You skipped me” *in a very very nice voice* and he had responded “You didn’t fill out your form, I had figured you were still looking”.
Look, I get that, but still ask???? Like “are you still looking or are you ready?”
Asked my friend if she wanted more sushi but didn’t bother to ask me. Helluuuuur???
I got the 4 set handroll
Toro
Salmon
Yellowtail (daily special)
Crab
The texture of the nori felt so old that when you take your first bite, you’re tearing it away. Versus a crispy one bite. Bite after bite, felt like a disappointment.
After my friend had been asked for anymore sushi, she happily said no. And I quote “I don’t want to pay for anymore mid sushi”
You’re better off getting the nigiri or sashimi as the size of the fish is bigger than most.
But hey, I didn’t get asked for more and I agreed, my friend was right.
The tip reflected on the service and I hate that, but if you give shitty service, don’t expect a 15% tip. I said what I said.
I changed my review to 2 stars because the head chefs no longer work at this location. The people who make the sushi aren’t as professional. They still make a decent roll but they aren’t as meticulous as the previous chefs so quality of the sushi has gone down.
OLD:
If you go definitely go for the nigiri vs the hand roll.
The hand roll doesn’t have much to it, just rice and your choice of chopped fish.
The nigiri is delicately cut fish and dressed with small specialties that give the fish a little umph.
The rice is a little sweet because they don’t use the traditional rice. So they don’t have a nigiri or hand roll that is savory.
The flavors aren’t balanced because there’s a lot of rice or a lot of fish – and the rice is too overpowering with its sweetness.
Overall I do recommend for the price and ambiance.
