    I got lucky and went a random morning and they had a good amount of options to choose from! While you do pay a pretty penny, I say the fish is high quality and you get what you paid for. Also, it came with miso soup and crunchy seaweed. It's grab and go so it's quick. Not much seating in there but there's a few tables.

    I stopped by Choo Sando Omakase while visiting Austin, and I'm so glad I did! One thing to know before you go: I initially thought you could order from a full menu as a walk-in, but it's actually designed as more of a grab-and-go concept. Everything is beautifully pre-packaged, and once they sell out for the day...that's it! I had my eye on one of their variety sando packs, but by the time I got there they only had one combination left (chicken sando, lobster sando, and egg salad). Since I was about to hit the road for a few hours, I decided to keep it light and went with one of their dessert sandos instead. I tried the strawberry & kiwi fruit sando, made with fresh fruit, whipped cream, and Japanese milk bread. I'll admit...at first glance I thought it was cake (which honestly wouldn't be a bad idea! ), but the soft white bread was surprisingly perfect. It balanced the sweetness beautifully, making it light, airy, and not overly sweet at all. It definitely satisfied my sweet tooth without feeling heavy. The display case was full of gorgeous sushi boxes, omakase sets, and sandos that all looked incredibly fresh and almost too pretty to eat. You can definitely tell they put a lot of care into presentation. I didn't get to try more this visit because I had a long drive ahead of me, but this is absolutely a spot I'll be back to on my next trip to Austin. Next time I'm getting there earlier before everything sells out! Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for fresh, high-quality grab-and-go Japanese bites.

    The sushi 1000/10 , to die for. It was so buttery and melt in your mouth so worth it. Pricier end but it's not as pricey like an omakase. The cashier was nice and made suggestions of what sauce to get. The sandwiches were mid. Stuffed with veggies and lacked flavoring so the sauces do come in handy. It is limited seating and tight in there. More like a grab and go situation

    Exceptional restaurant. It's small. There's maybe 4 tables plus bar seating at the window. Perfect for a quick lunch. What they have out is what's available. Once they sell out then they will close. Everything is so fresh, especially the fish. Very organized and clean. Front of house lady was very nice and efficient. No complaints here!

    Pro tip: Pre-order because they've been sold out by noon both times I've gone there. I've had sushi from all over and I have to say this is probably the best of freshest I've ever had. Trio Toro Box (no shellfish) - 3 pieces of fatty tuna, fatty salmon and yellowtail belly. 10/10. The caviar and other toppings were a great touch. Itamae 10pc Box - tuna, salmon, yellowtail, sea bream, sweet shrimp, white fish and I believe scallop. 10/10. The soy sauce was homemade and even their wasabi tasted fresh. For dessert, I had the fruit sando which was freshly made. You can even see them making it in the kitchen. Definitely looking forward to going back to try other items on their menu.

    I have always heard good things about Choo Sando, but I have never gotten a chance to try it when in Austin. This time around I finally got a chance to try it and just WOW. They have fresh sushi, hot miso, amazing sandos, and delicious sauces! When we got there, we did not have a long wait time like how others have said, but they did not have a lot of items left. I would recommend coming in early and trying their sushi and sandos!

    How have I never written a review for Choo Sando? Well, I love it! I think it's great and I think a testament to the quality is that even now there's a line waiting for Choo Sando to open. I went there on a Friday morning around 10:15 and I was about the 5th in line. The line was reasonable, but I like to get there early so that all the options are available. I've gone later, when there is no line, but you are limited in choices. Let's start with the food. You can definitely not go wrong. Every item is beautifully presented and a piece of art, almost too beautiful to eat, ALMOST... I've tried a variety from their sushi combinations and they're all good. I've also tried a few of the sandos and my favorite are the Pork Katsu, lobster, and egg salad. The service is always friendly. It's a small store front and seems like mostly family run, but I could be wrong about this. Often Chef Choo himself is there to help greet people at the door. If you've never been, I highly recommend. Whenever I have an excuse, I definitely stop by to treat myself.

    I love choo sando! Great place for Japanese sandos & really fresh sushi. Keep in mind that the sandos sell out fast, so be sure to go early if you want a good selection. You can also order ahead online for pickup, though I've only tried that for sushi. Small store & not much inside seating. Staff are friendly.

    Choo Sando is officially one of my new favorite sushi spots in Austin. It's a grab and go setup with plenty of parking, and everything comes pre packed in containers, so it's first come first served. They close at 2:30PM and once an item sells out for the day, that's it, so I'd recommend getting there earlier rather than later. I went with the spicy scallop and salmon sashimi over rice, and honestly for twenty four dollars it's one of the better deals in the city for that quality of fish. I dined in and the guy working the counter surprised me with a free miso soup, and while I was chatting with some other folks in line, one gentleman offered me a piece of the strawberry mango fruit sando, which had the softest, fluffiest bread I've had in a sandwich like that. Next time I'm coming back for the black truffle chicken sando, which caught my eye on the menu. Great food, great hospitality, and a steal for the price. This is going straight into my regular sushi rotation.

    I've had this place bookmarked for over three years, and I was finally able to come try it! We arrived at 10:20 am Saturday (opens 10:30 am), and there were around 20 people in front of us. However, they do a great job of crowd control, and the line moved quite fast. It took us around 20 minutes to make it inside. While it is quite small inside, there is some seating. My friends and I got a bunch of different sandos and sushi. The sandos were amazing with their different sauces! All of the fish was super fresh, and the flavors were so good! Each sushi box came with a miso soup, seaweed sheets, and a homemade bottle of soy sauce with ginger and wasabi. It was definitely worth the wait and money, and I can't wait to come back the next time I'm in Austin!

    We came in around noon on a Thursday and unfortunately a lot of items were already sold out, which was a bit of a bummer. We ended up getting the chicken katsu sandwich, and the worker recommended adding the mustard which was a great call. The sandwich was really tasty overall, though I do wish we had come earlier because the bread didn't feel as fresh as it probably is earlier in the day. We also tried a sushi roll with truffle. It was very good, but definitely heavy on the truffle, so keep that in mind if you're sensitive to strong flavors. Overall, solid food and friendly staff. I'd just recommend coming earlier in the day for the best selection and freshest experience.

    I preordered a few items a week before New Year's Eve for pick up NYE. Honestly the best decision ever because it made our NYE so memorable. No waiting in line and ensure I get all the goodies we want. Select the time for pick up, checkout, and boom done in less than 5 mins. My pick up time was 12pm and when I got there, there was like maybe 10 of fruit sando and pork Sando left. The display was bare but I knew that was going to be the case so I am so happy I preordered! I got all of our favorites: 10 piece nigiris: $36 5/5 top notch quality and honestly the value is super fair. I see ppl reviews saying it's expensive but if you go to any sushi restaurant and got 10 nigiris it would cost you the same and/or more. If you are comparing all you can eat sushi, the quality is subpar and you are getting what you are paying for. I notice this 10 piece nigiri had a king salmon with truffle and like wow!! It was so good! I love that they changed it up a little for a nice little surprise than the norm. Come with soup. Spicy Tuna & Sake Don: $21 5/5 consistently the same top quality! Comes with soup and seaweed. Sake Don: $27 5/5 I am a salmon lover and this is my first time trying this one. Salmon was super yummy! Definitely hit the spot. I usually get the spicy scallop and Sake don but notice these past two times I've gotten it, the scallops are not the same as the original ones I've gotten. The scallops are small tiny ones now and the taste is simply not the same as the first time I've had it. I'm not a fan of the tiny scallops they not use. You can't waste the scallops anymore so that's why I got the Sake Don which I am glad I try something new. Comes with soup and seaweed. Katsu Sando: $14.50 5/5 still the best pork katsu I've had. The homemade house sauce is what makes it. If you want the sandwich to be crispy then come early to pick up to enjoy it. If you come later in the day, what ever they make in the morning is what's available there. They usually sell out of all items every day because they are that awesome. Truffle Katsu Sando: 5/5 $16.50 like WOW! Pork katsu is juicy paired with the truffle was such a stellar explosion of flavor in your mouth! Eating it with the in house made sauce katsu is a must. That is what makes this katsu special. I love that that bread is not thick because you get to enjoy the katsu which is the star of the Sando. Bread is soft and cabbage salad in between made it refreshing and not heavy feeling. Do I recommend Choo Sando? Absolutely ! When I came to Choo Sando, I witness a customer coming in past 12pm and complaining to the cashier why there was no more items left and just giving the staff a hard time.......Also I notice as I scroll and read reviews about the long lines (that go quick) and not getting what you want...There is an option to PREORDER and support the business. I think it's unfair to fault the business for inventory and underrate them when they give you the option to get what you want by preordering a head of time on their website. It is that simple. Don't go into the established and throw a tantrum about them almost selling out. Respect that's their business model and preorder. Zero food waste. Business is sustainable for long term and consumers to enjoy.

    spicy chicken sandwich
    Najiha M.

    Was super excited to try this place. I got the spicy chicken sando. Flavor wise it was good with juicy chicken and soft bread. But it was not fresh. It was just sitting in the fridge and you can definitely tell the difference. I wish they made them fresh throughout the day but they only serve them once in the morning and I came around 1:30 pm. If you want the best experience, definitely go right when they open. The sandwich has potential but freshness makes a huge difference

    My husband and I got Kome for dinner on a friday around 6:50 pm without a reservation. We waited…read morefor a good 40 minutes before we got seated. We ordered their tuna poke appetizer, trio roll, austin FC roll, and the matcha maker drink. Matcha Maker was a whiskey drink, tasted pretty fruity and was actually delicious. The whiskey taste comes later. The tuna poke was good, it came with 5-6 chunks of raw tuna with some avocados, which sat on top of some seaweed salad, and had 5 pieces of tortilla chips to pair with. The trio roll and austin fc roll were both delicious. The trio roll had no flavor, as it had 3 different sashimis, but was perfect with soy sauce and wasabi. The austin fc roll came with eel sauce and their house sauce, it was good on it's own. We were starving by the time the food came, since it did take a while as it was crowded.....like every seat in the house was taken! Dinner is izakaya style which is basically tapas or smaller/shareable plates vs entree style dishes. Lunch menu has more options, including bento boxes which we'll have to try next time! Our server was attentive and nice. Overall, definitely recommend. It is more on the pricier side, but it is worth it. Only thing I would do different is bringing a jacket. We came when there was that odd storm and it was freezing inside the restaurant.

Thankfully, most a very good choices! The fries are great. It's weird to start with that but they really are. Same goes for pretty much any sushi. You'll be able to taste the freshness of the fish. However, avoid the curry and katsu. My katsu can only be described as overdone. The breading tasted nearly burnt dry and banding in the meat (see my photo) shows how it was separating from being cooked too long. The curry is as disappointing as their sister restaurant. It's weak enough that I'd venture I could produce a better curry in bulk. Their menu also changes between lunch and dinner so it's possible other non sushi options are better. So do come here and enjoy the sushi, but don't venture into the other menu items. They'd really shine by focusing on a core menu with less accompanying dishes.

This isn't necessarily an every-week dinner for us price-wise--hibachi can definitely be a splurge--but if we could justify going every week, we absolutely would. It is hands-down some of the best hibachi I've ever had. And hibachi seems simple enough: great meat, fried rice, fresh vegetables, sauces. But when it's done REALLY well, apparently there is a huge difference, because Japon has completely ruined mediocre hibachi for me. Everything tastes incredibly fresh, the meat is always cooked beautifully, the vegetables are perfect, the rice is ridiculous, and I could probably consume an irresponsible amount of their sauces. The food is actually so good that it inspired me to start buying fresh vegetables, good meat, rice, yum yum sauce and sriracha and making my own little version at home. It isn't Japon, obviously, but that's how much we love this food. What really deserves recognition, though, is their consistency. We've visited both locations, they've been absolutely SLAMMED, and somehow the service is still exceptional. We've never sat around forever waiting to be acknowledged or wondering where our server went. The staff is attentive, friendly and efficient every single time we've gone. The atmosphere at both locations is beautiful and lively, and of course there's the whole experience of watching your meal prepared right in front of you. Even the little details make it feel like a complete dining experience--from sitting down with a cold Topo Chico and fresh lemon to the little orange treat at the end. It's one of those restaurants where you leave already thinking about the next time you can justify going back. Yes, dinner for two can turn into a splurge. But we've never walked out feeling like the experience wasn't worth it. The quality of the food, atmosphere and consistently excellent service keeps us coming back. If you're craving hibachi in Austin, Sushi Japon is absolutely worth trying. Both locations have been fantastic for us. 10/10. If my budget had its way, we'd be regulars. If my stomach had its way, we'd live there.

    Pretty weak experience overall. My partner and I made a reservation at 7:30 on a Friday for a…read morehibachi table, and had it confirmed by email. When we arrived at the restaurant, the hostess said that she didn't have the reso on her end; rather than apologizing or making a single effort to fix the issue, she just stared at us. We had to prompt her for clarification and next steps, and had to continue to prompt her through the process of getting us sat. When we finally sat down at a regular table, we waited about 15 minutes without a server coming by. I eventually flagged a server down, and we got our order under way. We requested the manager stop by to tell him about the issue with the reservation and the fact that his hostess needs additional training, and surprise, the manager was also not helpful. He did apologize for our reservation being lost, but blamed it on the system and denied any responsibility for taking care of it - basically just told us that "life is life". He did not offer a discount or any kind of relief for the setbacks or bad service. I wasn't expecting the world or anything, but good hospitality dictates that you do more that basically tell us to just deal with it. For the food: the sushi was pretty gnarly - it looked like somebody was angry at the fish when they were slicing. Most things needed salt. Steak and fried rice was good, but the vegetables were pretty much raw. I can forgive quite a bit when it comes to service, especially on graduation/mother's day weekend. But honestly I'm a little impressed at how little the entire staff cared about their guests.

    Simply transcendent. A foodie friend recommended this eatery and I was already expecting…read moreexcellence. Well? Sushi Yume delivers that tenfold. The service is nurturing, the ambiance is clean and the sushi....oh the sushi. We usually get the chef's choice and the chef chooses well. Sebring, Amberjack, Scallops...the most divine Salmon I've ever EVER experienced. I'd prefer to gatekeep this place but I want it to keep succeeding as long as I want to keep coming here. You won't be disappointed.

    Found it! Our new obsession. Hubby, son and I have been…read moreeating sushi like once a week. This time we wanted to try something new so I used yelp to discover sushi yume. First off we almost skipped it as we are not a fan of this plaza but will say we are SO glad we didn't. Arrived at 4:50 on a Tuesday afternoon and not a table in sight. We signed in to wait behind another gentleman but then were offered the shushi bar which we accepted. I was shocked to learn they have been here for 2.5 years, truly mind blown. The server said there is almost always a wait and on the weekends can be close to 2 hours. Wow. We ordered 4 rolls and 2 deserts and were very satisfied with everything! Our favorite was the crappy salmon and the popcorn roll. The place was small but clean and cute. Loved the little details like the little cats as chip stick prop ups/holders. I thought the prices were super fair, food was incredible, service was incredible, we will for sure be back!!!!!

    I had a really lovely experience with Tare's omakase. The level of care and pacing was wonderful…read more Each nigiri piece was delicately crafted and I really enjoyed the Texas/Mexican influences in the menu. The non-nigiri pieces also really stood out. Seriously no note! Everything was so good and those cocktails were delicious. You can really tell they take their time and are passionate with the food. I'd eat 1000x of their tostadas every day if I could. If they ever wanted to bottle up their Serrano ponzu or negi dare, I'd be the first to line up. Those flavors just were bursts of brightness

I knew the meal would include more than just fish, so I wasn't sure what to expect. Not every course was for me, the oyster wasn't my favorite, but that's completely a personal preference. On the other hand, I was genuinely surprised by how much I loved the shrimp po'boy. It ended up being one of my favorite bites of the evening. The dessert was also fantastic and a perfect way to end the meal. What really makes Tare stand out is that it's not your typical omakase experience. It has a fun Texas twist that makes it feel unique while still delivering a thoughtful tasting menu. The restaurant itself is small and intimate, which I really enjoyed. I went alone, and I never felt out of place, it would be a great spot for a solo dining experience. I also appreciated that they have parking, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and kind. Overall, I'd definitely recommend Tare to anyone looking for a unique take on omakase, whether you're a seafood enthusiast or someone, like me, who's just starting to explore it.
