The food here is pretty good. I would recommend the sashimi bibimbap and chicken katsu. The sashimi bibimbap is so much food and the fish is fresh. The chicken katsu is nice and crispy. The rolls are just okay. The pricing is fair and worth it for the amount of food you get.
The best Ramen I've had in a very long time. Order medium-spicy and enjoyed every last drop. The roasted pork with some of it being charred, I give it a chef's kiss. Service was excellent. Fast and fresh. Chill ambiance, restaurant was pretty empty on a Friday afternoon. Weather could've been a factor. Pricing was competitive. You get a lot of food for the price you pay. Definitely was able to take home and finish another time.
I came here with a friend for dinner the other night because we were both craving Ramen and this really hit the spot! I had been here once before but only tried the sushi so I thought I would leave an updated review because I was very happy with how good the Ramen was. The weight staff was very nice and we got our food very quickly. Only complaint was that the steak in my Ramen was a little bit tough but I kind of expected that so I should've stuck with the pork. Overall definitely recommend!
This place has such a good deal for happy hour - every day starting at 3PM. The salmon was delicious. The tuna was not very flavorful. The rice was perfectly proportioned for the sushi. We went around 3PM and it was fairly empty. The sushi came out within 5 minutes of ordering. Fantastic little place for quick sushi at a good price.
Shockingly bad food and service. We were celebrating something special and our regular sushi delivery place - IchiUmi Sushi - didn't have any Hamachi available so we tried this restaurant which is even closer, thinking that they were still owned by the same company. It's clear that they have parted ways. The Hamachi sushi had been dressed with lemon juice, like ceviche. It was grey, rubbery and I hope it won't make me sick. The shrimp and vegetable tempura were a disaster. The greasy fried batter had peeled off the gray vegetables. I thought I should alert the manager - his name is Jerry - that we had found the food inedible and why and he said that he would look into it. Nothing more. I work hard for every dollar that I spend on restaurants and expect a modicum of quality and service. I've been robbed.
We had a group of about 10 and our waiter was really patient and great! The sushi was very good and they were able to make accommodations for my gluten allergy. Our group also ordered a ton of appetizers which were well liked and everyone liked the other sushi, ramen, bento boxes and bowls they had ordered.
my go-to sushi spot in austin! i've tried MANY sushi spots (uchi, tenten, soto, bang bang, machi, kome, lucky robot, junai, and more), so i believe im qualified to review this and say it's the best. best in VALUE and every single dish is amazing. high quality, good prices. easy parking. good happy hour deals too. i tried: takoyaki, calamari, austin roll, new orlean roll, scallop fever roll, and a couple others i forgot (all were good) must get the takoyaki, it's the best in austin. calamari surprised me by how light, crispy, and seasoned it was. sushi is plated and presented beautifully, one even came in a ring of fire. now thats FIRE. service is kinda slow sometimes though.. i do admit..but the food is so good. they are also nice! it gets busy, but ive never had to wait for a table. it's a small restaurant with a good amount of seating. feels like a quiet, japanese restaurant kind of vibe. give it a try and let me know your thoughts.
I'll be honest and say that when I heard good ramen in Austin? I was definitely incredulous, but my buddy said he liked it and it was good. The endorsement still made me skeptical but with beggars not being choosers and everything I went in. It was a Friday night and it was dark with a lot of chochin hanging, trying to go for the Izakaya feel. They actually did have yakitori as a menu item and chicken hearts was one of the items available! Awesome! It definitely bumped up the authenticity of the place. You could tell the hearts were frozen, but honestly it has been hard to find them anywhere stateside so it was a minor gripe. For the main, I ended up getting the Tonkatsu Original, Extra Spicy with an egg. The broth didn't have as much depth as I would have liked but still not bad. I was lowkey impressed with their ramen and again the chicken hearts gets extra respect from me.
I personally didn't like their sashimi. Some felt frozen, maybe the ice decor, but didn't help the dish. It was fishy and hard to chew. I was craving sashimi, but it just made me regret going out to spend $40 on it. Service was okay, I had to ask for water after a bit because we weren't asked if we wanted it. Maybe the other menus are good, but sashimi regular (pictured) was not great. It's pretty though, maybe for a pic!
We came in on a Thursday night and it was quite empty. I was a bit surprised how pricey their ramen is ($16 for the tonkotsu) since it's not a particularly busy spot. I got the chicken paitan ramen since it was a bit cheaper and it was pretty decent though the three pieces of chicken were quite small. The broth was quite spicy despite ordering mild spice but it did include a whole braised egg. The takoyaki pleasantly surprised me though when it came out with 6 balls and on a bed of egg salad. I would recommend that but the ramen didn't particularly wow me. Overall, a decent place for Japanese food for a regular dinner.
Have come here multiple times and feel the bento boxes are a great value here. Mon-Fri they also have lunch specials as well as happy hour from 3-6 daily. The service is fairly quick which is nice to get in and out. The main drawback here for me here is I feel like overall the restaurant is typically kept a little on the unkept side, bathrooms are kinda dirty, and the restaurant overall kinda has an odor.
I've been looking for a solid ramen spot around Austin and this seemed like a good place to try based on the reviews. We came on a Sunday night around dinner time and we were the only ones in the restaurant. The servers were friendly and attentive. We ordered: - Crab Rangoon (4/5): I love crab rangoon. Even when the filling is made of 99% cream cheese and 1% crab, I still love crab rangoon. It's hard for me to rate any crab rangoon below a 5/5 but this one was served on.. whipped cream? When it first came out I was hoping I would be pleasantly surprised and it would be whipped cream cheese or something more savory, but unfortunately it was straight from the can reddi whip-tasting sweet whipped cream. The crab rangoon itself was fine (again, hard to disappoint me), but the whipped cream was off-putting to say the least. - Chicken Karaage (5/5): Solid karaage option. The chicken was tender and was served with a tasty spicy mayo dipping sauce. The amount you get for $8 is a great value too! - Tokyo Miso Ramen (4/5): This ramen wasn't bad! For Austin standards, I would rate it above most other places. My issue was that I ordered mild broth and it was pretty spicy. Still, overall, I enjoyed the flavor of the broth despite the spice and the noodles had a nice chew. I would have preferred chashu pork rather than tenderloin steak, but that's just personal preference. Overall, I think this is a solid ramen spot in North Austin, especially compared to some of the other options in the area! I hope they stop serving whipped cream with the crab rangoon though.
Met a friend for lunch yesterday and we enjoyed the food and quick service. There was no wait and they were able to split the bill. Easy parking too!

This place hits every time! They have specials on the sign outside-- things like 50% the Godzilla roll. The staff is very friendly and checks on guests, gives refills etc. It's pretty nice on the inside, nice for a casual date. The portions are sizeable. The rolls are 10 large pieces. Lots of flavor and feels like good quality sushi. The ramen was solid as well and they don't skimp on the meat. There's a LOT of food options in this area, but this place is definitely worth a stop. read more
Got the lunch sushi combo with the avocado/tuna roll to go. It comes with miso soup. Overall the nigiri was good quality, there was just one odd piece that seemed like it was a wasabi challenge in the center. Would get again but would check for surprise wasabi ;) read more
I wanted some artfully designed sushi rolls, and Ichi-Umi met that craving! Our waitress was very attentive and kept our waters refilled, and the atmosphere was quiet for a casual sushi date or a quiet outing with friends. I would love to come back here to try more of their menu! read more

Food, service, atmosphere was amazing! I was not expecting a real fire on my plate when it was brought out. The sushi was so good and is now a favorite. It came very fast yet tasted very fresh. The waiter only had 3 tables on a Monday night but the service was still attentive and polite, which was refreshing. The atmosphere is a little funny with y2k pop hits playing in the background. I wish they played something else but wasn't bad. I'll be back! read more
This place is such a surprise! It is tucked away behind the ice skating rink. It's always winter in the rink, and a hot bowl of ramen is the perfect antidote. After a fun skate, we shared steamed dumplings. Then, I had the Tonkotsu Ramen and my daughter had a bento box. The bento box comes with a California roll, egg rolls, rice, salad miso soup, and your choice of protein. We chose chicken. For $15 this is an absolute ton of food with fun variety and an adorable presentation. The service was quick and there was plenty of seating even though it's a small, cute space. read more
We ended up here after realizing Ichiban is closed on Tuesdays. Now we have officially found a new favorite spot. It's super cute inside, very nice and efficient service. We had a chicken teriyaki bento, and a bunch of sushi. I really liked their house salad. Everything tasted very fresh and delicious. read more

For less expensive sushi it was good quality. The salmon, yellowtail, and escolar I had were all pretty fresh and tasty. I wish they offered more higher-end cuts of fish on their menu such as medium fatty tuna. I tried to order the fatty yellowtail but they were out. On the bright side, they subbed two regular yellowtail nigiri in exchange for me! read more
What I praise: 1. Offering side of broth and noodles. Sometimes, I just crave a SMALL ramen portion, so while this was outrageously pricey, it was just what I needed in the moment of hanger. Brother was flavorful and noodles were cooked nicely. 2. Sizable portion for a lunch bento box! Maybe I filled up too quickly from the noodles, but I surprisingly had some leftovers from the bento box for dinner. Happily surprised there. What I didn't enjoy: 1. ZERO flavor in the chicken. Like, nothing. I am super sensitive to salt but this could've used so much more. I ended up having to dump my entire condiment section on this in order to enjoy. Sorry! 2. This came with a side of California rolls but no wasabi or ginger? Or soy sauce!?! It was very sad. The veggie roll was really good though, so that made up for the lack of taste everywhere else. Overall, I'd probably try again but not get the chicken. Will stick to other selections or maybe just opt for sushi rolls all together. read more

I love this Japanese restaurant. The restaurant is pleasantly decorated with laid back atmosphere. The restaurant is clean. The servers are friendly and polite. This restaurant has a very peaceful vibe. My favorite dish is the Tonkotsu ramen. It has a very flavorful broth with cute mushrooms, veggies and delicious ramen noodles. Their green tea is a nice compliment to the meal. My favorite appetizer was the quail eggs wrapped in bacon. read more
We only ordered sushi so I don't know anything about their ramen. Sushi was really good! But the rolls were better than the nigiri. I was expecting the fatty salmon nigiri to be fattier and softer. My favorite were the crazy salmon and dragon fire rolls. Quality was great for the price. They have really good deals during lunch time as well! Good service. We were quickly seated and orders came out quick. Chill and quiet inside. Easy to have a conversation without having to shout at each other like other places that play loud music lol plenty of parking outside. read more
TLDR: fantastic all around. For food: we had a variety of dishes here. For starters we had the Tako Yaki, the Edamame, and the Cashu Yaki. The Tako Yaki was very good, as was the edamame. The Cashu Yaki was absolutely sensational. Perfectly tender, and phenomenal flavor. For mains we had the red ramen, the Unagi Don, and a Poke bowl. All three of the mains were fantastic. Really no complaints as far as atmosphere. The restaurant itself is a little cramped, but the tables are well spaced to accommodate it. For the service, the only problem was the dishes came out somewhat irregularly, which was less than ideal. Our waitress was very attentive and polite through our whole stay. read more
Really really *really* good ramen. The broth is profound (), the pork is great (they char it. who knew it would make it so cool!), and the variations are distinct and, you guessed it, great. The specialties (bulgogi ramen!) are even greater. Yes, I'm going overboard, but hey, this is excellent ramen! read more
This place is so delicious. We tried the white and red ramen (this second one was spicy) and were so delighted with our choices! We even got them to go instead of dining in - I was worried the quality wouldn't be as good if brought home but I gobbled up the whole thing. Extremely affordable with high quality ingredients - can't ask for more. It puts other mainstream restaurants like Jinya ramen to shame. This will be my new go to! read more

We are gob smacked! After steamed dumplings with that incredible dipping sauce, garlic edamame, and the white ramen with garlic oil and the yuzu bomb for me, and the white ramen with the chili bomb and extra bamboo shoots for the hubby, we're both ready to put on our "fat" pants and binge some American Aristocrat's Guide to Great Estates with mega-satisfied smiles on our faces! We only have a picture of the edamame because we tore into the ramen like wild banshees. Rather embarrassing, but it's just that good! Michi and Tatsuya who? read more

I got the chicken katsu bento box and was super pleased by the generous portion. Yes, I like when my food comes in a big portion lol The bento comes with chicken katsu, rice, california roll, salad, and a dumpling and a spring roll. The chicken katsu is crispy and they use white meat, which is my preference. I ate in the restaurant and there's no one else inside at 130p. Service was very attentive. read more
This place is next to my gf's house - just tried it out for the first time today. Not bad at all by any means! We ordered the following: - Chicken Yakitori - Chicken Katsu - Custom Poke Bowl - Hot Sake Will be back to try more! read more
This place is not bad but it is not my favorite. First of all, we sort of had a hard time finding this place with the address provided on here but we kept driving around the mall and we found it close to Panda Express. Also, do make a reservation because they limit the amount of people in their dining area. I ordered the Red Tonkotsu Ramen. It was good. The broth was kind of salty for me but I think it's because of the added seasoning on this ramen. This was supposed to be spicy but it wasn't that spicy which is fine. We also ordered the chicken heart, ribeye, baby octopus yakitori. I am docking off 1 star because of these items. It had too much sauce for us that it didn't go well with the meats. Overall, I do recommend this place especially for the ramen and prices because it's pretty reasonable in comparison to other ramen places. read more
Now that I have two visits under my belt, I thought it was time to do a review. First visit was on a rainy day and second was fir my mom's birthday. Plenty of parking but the navigation takes you elsewhere for some reason. Service has been top notch each time. Friendly, attentive servers that are knowledgable about their top items, especially when I had ramen novice with me. It was a bit dark inside so on our second visit, we asked to sit under a light so we could see our food. Each time we ordered the wings and garlic edamame. SO GOOD! Everything came out piping hot and fresh. My mother loves when food comes out hot so this scored big points with her. The wings are sticky but packed with flavor. The garlic on the edamame is delicious and you'll be licking your fingers! I ordered the black garlic ramen which has yummy flavor but not too rich. My dad had the red broth the first time and it was crazy spicy- like sit on your tongue with no relief spicy. He also ordered the pork cutlet which alone is a bit bland but when dipped in the sauce or your ramen, comes to life. My mom had the brown broth and really liked it. She tried the bulgogi the second time around but still preferred the brown broth from her first visit. The place was pretty busy the later it got. Everyone wore masks and they respected the distance needed. There were plenty of to-go orders too! read more
