Best sushi in Austin!

by o0anna0o

I absolutely LOVE this place! They have the best super white tuna and miso soup I have ever had and I have tried a lot of different sushi places, not just in Austin. This is a great place for dinner, and they also have great lunch specials. I would also recommend trying their Passioberry Duo, it is just to die for!

This place can be a little pricey, but it is definitely worth it!

• Pros: Yumm!
• Cons: none

pretty nice

I personally do not like the location of the restaurant because it's off a highway in a plaza that can be quickly overlooked. Luckily, the design on the outside made it nearly impossible for you to miss it. Interior wise was really nice-black, red and white were the dominant colors. Sushi and sushi rolls were pretty expensive, but if you order the bento box it's not too bad (~$15) and has a ton of sushi and a long roll. I ordered 2 rolls: spider and philadelphia. My server was really nice and gave me a miso soup for free because my two other friends ordered bento boxes that came with miso soup. My rolls came and I pretty much became disappointed from there. Bento boxes include a california roll, but you can "substitute" by adding more money. Each of my friends' rolls from their bento box had 8 pieces. However, my two rolls only had 5 pieces each. I am not sure why it is less, and I felt kind of gypped. The spider roll was okay; each piece of the philadelphia roll was big and didn't look like a usual sushi piece at all. It reminded me of "kimbob" sushi that koreans make. Anyways I ended up paying $18 for 10 pieces of sushi roll. Other than that, the sushi itself was very fresh and tasted good.

• Pros: good sushi, nice setting, good parking
• Cons: low quantities and overpriced

3. seabass and scallop with shitake mushroom is todie for

4. sushi pieces is decent with generous portion, although quality is varied according to the sushi grade

5. try to sit at sushi bar to get the freshes fish and specialty item

6. bento boxes at lunch is a good deal for less than 20 usd/person

7. california/rainbow/ philadelphia is for kindergarden

8. service is varied depend on the crowdness, never hurt to just to ask the server for any assistance
