What People Are Saying About Bistro 88
The Owner
Bistro 88
Owner
A charming, eclectic family-owned and operated restaurant, Bistro 88 has been providing excellent upscale dining to Austinites for 10 years. Located just off the beaten path - a scant 3.5 miles from downtown Austin & 1.5 from Zilker Park - you'll find a more-than-meets-the-eye experience. Our restaurant offers an elegant yet comfortable environment; our service is friendly, knowledgeable, and sincere. We like having a good time as well as having fun with our guests and appreciate getting to know people - calling them by name. We come to work everyday aiming to please. Our menu runs the gamut…

In Short – Dark wood floors and leather-covered rattan chairs create a tropical hideaway. Linen tablecloths, candle lamps and fresh flowers offer a relaxed vibe for couples and friends. Delicate wooden birdcages covered with paper butterflies hang in the center of the room. Starters feature the hundred-corners crab and shrimp cake: Two neat, round cakes of shrimp and crab covered with tiny bread cubes. The quail with eight treasures is two small quail stuffed with Chinese risotto.

Awesome Food, Outstanding Service!
by NinaR
I can't believe I didnt know about Bistro 88 sooner! Once inside the doors of Bistro 88 you feel like you have been transported to another time. The art and decor is very relaxing! They have great sushi and great food and the service cannot be beat! The staff definately makes sure you are being taken care of, Micheal was our waiter and he was great. Best service I ever had! My daughter and I visited Bistro 88 on Saturday and were both VERY satisfied with every bite of our meal. My favorite rolls are the Spicey Sara and the Tiger's Eye! I've also had the Jalapeno Chicken which was very tasty. Bistro 88 has become our new favorite place to go! Great Food and service.
- Pros: Freshest Sushi
- Cons: I wish I new about them long ago

Best Kept Secret in Austin Dining
by gustav56
We love Bistro 88 because the service is great and the kitchen is always consistent. There are few dishes that keep us coming back (miso sea bass, spicy sara roll, carrot jalapeno soup) but we haven't found a menu item we didn't like, so far.
Great atmosphere. The waitstaff has turned us on to a number of great wines we now buy for home. We often bring out-of-town visitors here, and they are never disappointed.
- Pros: varied menu with an Asian influence
- Cons: can't afford to buy the art on the walls

All around fantastic!!!
by limeydude
My first impression was feeling as though I was in a Sean Connery Bond movie, in Hawaii. The Japanese artwork, some black and white photos, the plants, music and just the overall decor and feeling.
It is a romantic, comfortable, restaurant. the food is well presented, with generous portions and the service is spot on. The wines are eclectic and the Sushi bar is wonderfuly fresh and well prepared-yummy!!!
And, you will not go wrong with anything from the main menu. Everything is great.Too much to mention. We will go back again, and again. The desserts are wonderful too!
And, to top it off you won't spend your paycheck. Well priced compared to a lot of other restaurants in Austin.
There is also ample parking so you don't have to fight downtown.
Actually, Bistro 88 is way better than pretty much all of the restaurants downtown. For ambience, service, food, etc.....Wondeful experience time and time again. Consistently great.
Cheers guys for making it memorable...We will pass on the news.
- Pros: Service, food, Ambience, music
- Cons: None that I was aware of
