Always fresh sushi. Wish you could alter some of the rolls but amazing either way. Sashimi is always on point

Our favorite sushi spot in Austin. The longhorn roll is a game changer. Their gyoza is so fresh and homemade. The service is wonderful and everything tastes incredible. It also doesn't break the bank as far as sushi goes! read more

Finally, a poor-man's Uchi! (Yes, yes, Uchi is in a category unto itself, but Kome is pretty darn good). We heard good things about Kome from a friend, and decided to check it out. Although the place seemed pretty busy, we only had to wait 15 minutes for a table. Bonus points for that. The menu is split between Japanese street food and sushi - a nice mix of rolls, fun appetizers and mains (including a grilled tofu "steak" with a delicious citrus glaze), rice balls, and more. The food felt both simple and creative (hence the Uchi comparison), but at very humble prices. It was the kind of place you could try a LOT of different things without the guilt of a hefty bill at the end. Lots of vegetarian options too. The interior is bright and clean, with wood tables and chairs. Not overly decorated or "concept-y," but not too sparse either. Overall it was a great experience. Our waitress made solid recommendations and though I felt like I ordered like a pig, the bill came out to a mere $30 a person (and that's with plenty of sake in the mix). read more

I came here for the tonkatsu ramen a few days ago. I'm not a ramen connoisseur, but I thought it was better than Musashino's. The broth is so flavorful and savory. I also came here for dinner around the time this restaurant first opened up. IMO, it's Uchi-lite; similar style food that's good, yet much cheaper. My girlfriend and I had a great time, and the wait staff is super nice and welcoming. The thing I really love about this place, besides the food, is the environment. The tables, decor, lighting, and the general ambiance of this place makes it so easy-going and pleasant. This is the kind of place where I'd want to go to unwind after a long day/week and to enjoy a meal with friends, and to be honest, I can't say this about a lot of restaurants. Do yourself a favor and come early if you can. Beat the lunch/dinner rush. Also, the parking lot tends to be full, so just park on 51st. I've always found parking there, right next to Kome. read more

Kome is the epitome of the Airport surprise -- as in, those awesome gems that seemingly stand alone on a busy stretch of road. There aren't really any restaurants around it (I think it's next to a clock shop and an auto repair place) and its decor is decidedly different from its surroundings, but make no mistake (cue GWB voice) this is a great stop for sushi. I'm particularly into their lunch menu; you can stop in for a 45 minute $10-$15 lunch that's going to completely satisfy you. That in itself is enough to constitute a 4 star review. Their lunch special includes a simple yet delicious miso soup, and then you can decide which sushi combination strikes your fancy. The fish is always fresh and tasty, so ordering sashimi/nigiri combos are the way to go if that's your thing. They also have tons of cool Asian-fusion dishes if you're not feeling sushi, like fried mashed potatoes croquettes and tofu steak. Their only downsides are the occasional rude waiter (most of the staff here is excellent, but there are one or two that are consistently cold) and the fact that they don't offer fountain sodas, so you're stuck purchasing a pricey drink or getting water. Both of those things are pretty negligible though, so definitely put Kome on your list of places to try. read more

How I love thee, let me count the ways... Your impeccable preparation of the rolls and how they are packed with succulent types of fish and lots of veggies fills my heart with joy! Just check out other peoples' photos! I love your spin on ceviche and love how you make a big jumble of mixed veggies tempura battered. I loved everything we had, even the octo-pops, so much so that we had to order seconds on a couple of things. The atmosphere is nice, just a little loud, and service was spot on. There is a patio outside for you to wait for a table and the hostesses happily bring drinks to you there. I liked the sake menu, especially the dreamy clouds nigori. I can't wait to try the lunch specials in the near future! read more

Some of the best Japanese food I've had in Austin! We came on a Saturday night so we knew there was going to be a wait but you can order drinks while you're waiting for your table to be ready. Had a yummy Kansai Mule. The whole grilled squid was delicious. Tender and flavorful and perfect starter. Rolls are delicious!! Ramen is also good. read more

I came here twice in two days. Guess I'm a fan. :) The food is great. I LOVE ramen and the ramen here at Kome is really really very good. I tried both the spicy miso and tonkatsu and prefer the tonkatsu, which has a richer, milky broth, as well as more meat and toppings. The noodles in the tonkatsu were straight and softer (the more traditional kind of ramen). The noodles in the spicy miso were curly and al dente. Their fish is fresh and desserts are delicious! I tried the black sesame mochi as well as the green tea parfait. Overall, I would definitely come back. The price is affordable and the food is great. The only reason I'm not giving Kome 5 stars is because of their service. I heard from my friend who lives in Austin that it's already a huge improvement from when they first opened. The first day, our waitress disappeared for what seemed like an eternity. Our water glasses and tea pots were empty and we were waiting for our check. Our second day, our waiter was a HUGE improvement. He was organized and thoughtful. He did forget to bring an extra spoon that we had requested for our dessert as well as my refill for the tea I ordered. read more

Finally a place where I could get my ramen craving filled! It's hard to find good ramen on this side of the world, and it's so nice to finally have a place where there is a selection. My group came at 11:30, about 30 minutes before they opened, on New Year's Eve. We were a big enough group for the party room. I knew I came to eat the ramen, but since it was a festive time, I decided to also treat myself to the fatty salmon sashimi. It was well worth it. It wasn't the best sake toro I've ever had, but it was still great. It's hard to go wrong with that one. I ordered the Miso Ramen originally, but sadly they were out of that one. I thought this was a bit odd, since we were the first customers of the day. So I went with the Shoyu Ramen instead. I really enjoyed it! I liked the variety of toppings that were signature for ramens. The pork made everything a little tastier, and the broth was nice and hot. I'd have to say though, I think I like Nippon in Houston's ramen just a little more. But as far as selection goes, Kome wins. I was also very pleased with the customer service. My friend's noodles in her ramen weren't cooked properly, so she informed the waitress who told the manager. The manager came by to apologize and took care of her ramen for her. This kind of service makes customers feel comfortable and confident and want to return. I cannot wait to come back to try the Miso Ramen! read more

We had tonkotsu ramen, sashimi, gyoza, and the alone together roll. good: sashimi was excellent. gyoza was better than average, probably would have been better but they were over cooked for my table. Ok: the roll was pretty plain, for some reason I thought it would be more than it was. Bad: ramen. The broth was diluted and tasted like minerals. they give you two slices of extremely dry and tough pork and half an egg that's been soaked a little too much in soy sauce. On the bright side I did like the noodles and that they bring out sesame seeds and chili sauce by default when you order ramen that you can use to totally change the taste of the broth. If it wasn't for their other food I would give this place two stars. read more

I've only been here once for lunch but I was impressed enough to write a review. The place inside is small and charming. We ordered a roll and then each ordered a lunch dish. Mine was beef with caramelized onions. His was tempura fried shrimp. Wow, so much to say. First, we ordered the Alone Yet Together (or something similar to that) roll. WOW! Three types of raw fish tightly wrapped with rice and seaweed topped with japanese bbq sauce and eel sauce. One of the best rolls I've ever had. The lunch dishes came with a soup to start. Noodles and mushrooms in a clear broth. There was a flavor to this that I couldn't quite pinpoint and which I didn't like too much. The main dish was impressive. My meat was so tender and flavorful. The side salad had a delicious almost peanut saucy dressing and came with radishes! Yum! My bfs tempura fried shrimp was greaseless and lightly fried. It came with tempura fried butternut squash and zucchini! A delightful surprise. Very satisfying portions! Service was great. The whole ambiance was pleasing. Next time I go I'll just order a variety of rolls and sushi and skip the lunch dishes, not because they weren't good but because I was so impressed with the roll we had. I can go anywhere for beef and onions but I'll come back to Kome for their rolls. read more

Kome has become a favorite for us. The ambiance and vibe is great inside. Definitely be ready for a wait around dinner time on the weekends. We waited up to an hour the second time we visited. So far the cocktails we've tried are so good. My fave is the Careless Whisper. For rolls, we loved the surf and turf, which is very unusual but surprisingly so good. read more

This place is pricey but quality. My boyfriend and I sat at the sushi bar and received wonderful service from our waitress, bartender, and the sushi chefs. We got a sampler special, which was delicious and fun experience trying new cuts of fish. The rolls we had were perfectly made and cut. Not too big or too small. The taste and quality of the ingredients were outstanding. You can't go wrong with the crunchy dynamite, and the eel was some of the best we've had in Austin. read more

I love to try new sushi places and have been driving by Kome for awhile trying to scope out the best time to go. In this instance, I decided to dive in on a Friday night about 9PM. There still was a very good sized crowd and the parking was not good. We got lucky in that there was a table available for two. We were seated in the middle of the room, close to other diners. It was very loud, but considering the proximity to the tables next to us, the noise level was actually a plus because you could have a conversation without fear someone would hear (or care) about your own conversation. The noise was a bit overwhelming to the point where we were discussing amongst ourselves what they could actually do as reduce the noise level. I considered it akin to being at a bar, that a restaurant. Again, I can overlook noise for the sake of this review as I was excited to try the sushi. They did have a few signature rolls that were fusion-type, including beef options. They also had a number of cooked rolls. I would say this is a good option for anyone new to sushi or is afraid of raw options. Now for the sushi - the freshness of the fish we selected was GREAT. I LOVE the nigiri 5 piece option as the price was very reasonable. I am a fan of scallop and the way Kome's scallop was presented, wrapped in salmon skin, a dollop of orange colored sauce (which was perfectly flavored as a compliment) and a perfect slice of avocado on top was one of the best I've had. It was beautiful and delicious. Overall, the price is great and fair. We both ordered Kirin 22.oz which also was a good value. I rated Kome' with 3 stars because of the overall experience. What they do very well is FISH, SERVICE and PRICE. If they manage to do something with the noise level, that would earn them another star in my book. I'll have to try Kome for lunch another time. read more

Coming to Kome for lunch is a steal! I came here with a couple of friends and got the Sushi Lunch with 5 nigiri: tuna, salmon, hamachi, suzuki, unagi, and a choice of one roll. The quality of the sushi is great for the price it's at. So worth it. I was full and satisfied by the end of it. The service was good. I've heard good things about the ramen but haven't gotten the chance to try it. Next time! There is limited parking in the front, so you can always park along the neighborhood streets. read more

Wonderful variety and excellent food! Gyoza, tonkatsu ramen, dipping ramen, Rock-n-roll were all excellent! Waiting on the green tea parfait, but we will absolutely be back!!! Btw, I almost never post comments... In fact, this is my first one I think! read more

LOVE IT. The sushi is so good! Even the boring/basic rolls like crunchy tuna are DELICIOUS and fresh. Didn't have a great experience with the takoyaki (flavorless) and the gyozas were pretty unremarkable but who cares when the sushi is so good. Would love to try some of their hot lunch dishes like the curry or katsudon soon! Parking stinks like everyone says so I try to get there before 7 and can always find a decent spot. read more

It was worth the wait! We came on a Friday for a date night, and it took us about 45 minutes to get seated. We didn't have a reservation. We did get a glass of wine while we waited, so that was nice. They had a specialty roll called bitches brew with seared (yellowtail?); it was so yummy! We also had the alone together roll, and it was especially delicious. The fried roll (midnight something) wasn't my favorite. It was just like a dessert roll, very creamy. The wait staff was helpful and super friendly. Close quarters and loud atmosphere, but it was delicious and we would go back for sushi! read more

Finally had a chance to go for lunch! Lunch time is still pretty packed but I was able to be seated right away at the sushi bar since I was by myself. I decided to get sake toro and a miso ramen. The salmon was delicious! It tasted so fresh and clean that I almost ordered more. There was a little more wasabi than I'm used to on my nigiri but it wasn't overpowering. A bit of ginger on the top was a great addition. And then the Miso ramen came out. At first, I thought it was too small but as I finished I realized that it was the perfect serving size. The soup is so delicious that you'll want to pick up your bowl and slurp it down. The noodles were great, the meat was great, the egg was great, the vegetables were great. Just a great meal overall! Definitely a must if you're having a craving for soup! read more

Great atmosphere, nice people, good food and surprisingly affordable. The place is super cute. We ordered spicy ramen, udon, sushi rolls and grilled tofu. We thought we over ordered for 2. We really did. But the food is so good that we slurped down to the last drop of our soup. We absolutely will come back to this place and strongly recommend this place to everyone who loves sushi and Japanese cuisine. read more

Ecstatic! I have lived in Japan for many years, and am fairly certain that I have some high standard for Japanese food. So believe me. Kome is the one you should go if you want "real" Japanese food in Central Texas. Thumbs up for the Kome nigir!! read more

Our new favorite sushi joint! Walker F and I RARELY go to the same place twice in two weeks, but we did with Kome. There is a very small parking lot, but plenty of parking on the side of the streets. If you do go to Kome, I recommend trying to get there before 7pm. Both times that we went to Kome, by 8pm there is a large line waiting. However, before 7pm, we had no line at all. Service here is fantastic. Both of our waitresses were from Japan (I believe) and very knowledgable about the menu. It's always a challenge for me to eat at a sushi restaurant because I am a vegetarian, but the waitresses made great recommendations. They also were very conscientious about giving me a heads up on certain items that had fish in them (the Soy Sauce has fish in it, so they brought out a vegan friendly version for me). Prices are reasonable. You're able to get in and out of here without dropping a bunch of cash unlike many sushi restaurants. The food is very good. The only thing I didn't particularly like was a dessert item that was a parfait. I'd avoid that. The ambiance is nice - it's a great first date spot. Good selection of sake and a handful of different beers. Like Walker F suggested, it would be great if they could offer a few different cocktails. read more

Last Friday the gals and I decided to pop in to the neighborhood sushi spot for a couple of rolls and sake. When we heard the wait would be an hour we just shrugged and decided to sit outside and drink sake until a table was available. Within 20 minutes we were seated. Yay! We split some rolls and appetizers that were all really, really tasty. It's hard to remember the names after all of that sake, but there was one priced at $14 (which is the most expensive roll they have btw) with fatty salmon and shrimp tempura. Dang it was good. I'm usually more of a straight up sashimi girl, but these rolls hit the spot. I love the atmosphere here. It's not too pristine, but it's still a nice place. The restaurant is a little dark and a little loud, but in the best way possible I swear. There was a private room with a big party and it made me want to throw a party there so bad! Although I was with the girls, it must be great for dates because there were newish looking couples everywhere! That sort of thing is interesting to me. Wonder why they flock there? I guess I will have to take my date one night and find out! Maybe we will suddenly look like a "newish" couple too. read more

2.5 stars I really enjoyed the decor of this restaurant. It's casual but you could also come dressed up a little. The wait time was just really long. Maybe because we came at 7pm on a Sunday night, and maybe it was because we had a party of three (they seem to have more tables for party of two)...but people who came after were seated before us. Three rolls of sushi took about 20-25 minutes to arrive. I had the Love For Sale roll which consisted of asparagus, spinach, carrots, mango, salmon, and a mango sauce. Yes, it seemed quite interesting because it sounded more like an American salad than a Japanese roll. Well, that's what it tasted like: a salad roll. It didn't taste BAD, mind you, but it wasn't my cup of tea. I wanted to try the ramen that everyone raves about here. Well, ramen is only served during LUNCH! So keep that in mind :) If you check-in, you get a free soft-serve ice cream. I know the deal says "soft-serve ice cream on a cone" but it's really soft-serve ice cream in a bowl, which I don't mind because then you can share! And it wasn't just plain vanilla. This tasted like a cinnamon, snickerdoodle ice cream. Yum! I think the waiter called it a "miso dulce de leche" flavor??? All in all, I don't think I would return for the rolls because it wasn't filling for me and too pricey for my college budget. Maybe I'll come back to try the ramen. read more

I cannot quite put my finger on what it was about Kome, but I was just overall not impressed. On the whole, the entire establishment just felt uninspired. I understand that they are shooting for the more affordable end of the sushi and Japanese spectrum. To this effect, the sushi menu did not particularly boast anything exciting, and they also told the individual dining next to me that the restaurant's Tsukiji special was not actually in effect any longer. My recommendation is to take down a special when the special is no longer in effect! Sorry if that is redundant, or not necessitating . The interior was a little less extravagant than I would have thought, upon first impression. It was a little more cash (short for casual--trying to incorporate more hip lingo) than usual, certainly not one of those cutting-edge, sleekly designed, eateries boasting high quality architecture. I have sort of jumped on the bandwagon of ramen, specifically fancy ramen. Here, they are sticking with the ghetto noodles, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. The shoyu ramen was pretty disappointing, unfortunately. There was not much complexity or developed flavor, but the broth was a good weight--not greasy in the least. On the whole, it seemed to just be a little watered down. Kome has much more to off, I know, but I just had to give their ramen a go, especially after all of these other joints are popping up around town, cranking out the Japanese classic. Alas, I will return and give a more justified review. read more

First visit was 3 star worthy. My 2nd visit was near perfection! It was one of my favorite meals since moving to Austin early this year. As far as sushi goes in Austin, Kome is pretty good. Great vibe (not pretentious), no wait (though that may change), great sushi chefs, great servers, fantastic sushi! Our exceptional meal started with the seaweed salad and then the Kome fries which are $*%$ing awesome! Their honey wasabi dipping sauce is amazing! We then had the spooky roll, ausitn roll, and summer roll, all which were delicious!! We finished it off with their fried cheese and honey. Kome is perfect for date night and also great for a family too. Great mixed crowd. Their pricing is really fair as well. You don't feel like you're overpaying, which can be a common feeling at some sushi places. We've had some so so sushi rolls on the first visit so consistency may be an issue, but I am eager to return and try more. read more

we came here 2 days in a row because there were so many different things we wanted to try. overall i give this place 4 stars but here's my breakdown: miso ramen: 1/5 - i was VERY disappointed with this ramen. the broth was a bit bland. i added corn to my ramen which made it better. the pork was... interesting... and actually ruined the ramen for me entirely. it was cut up into small chunks and i'm not sure if it's from the mustard greens they put in this ramen but i didn't like the flavor of the pork at all. i was expecting the thinly sliced tender and buttery chashu pork most japanese ramen have. i ended up eating the portion of my noodles and corn that did not have the little pieces of pork completely mixed in with them and barely touched the broth. the flavor of the pork really just killed the ramen for me. never again will i order ramen from this place. rolls: 4/5 - the spooky roll and alone together rolls were both pretty good. the quality of sushi is good and i think you get 8 pieces per roll. the crunchy dynamite roll was so-so but only because we just didn't like the flavor of the spicy tuna that much. the quality of the fish was still good. we still ate the whole thing. *** one thing that i appreciated was that every time they brought a roll to us, they named it and described everything that was in it. some places you go, the server brings your roll and if you ask which one it is, they have absolutely no idea. good job, kome. kara-age teishoku: 5/5 - if you like chicken and fried food, you will love this. it's small pieces of japanese style fried chicken but doesn't taste greasy and it comes with a mayo based sauce. it comes with soup, salad and rice and the salad dressing is very good kayaku udon: 4/5 - good size, especially for udon. it has shrimp tempura, raw spinach, seaweed, inari (tofu skin), fish cake, and egg. i thought the egg was really cool because it had "kome" branded on it which is great for presentation! you can see my photo of it. my only complaint about the udon was the temperature of the broth because it was just barely warmer than lukewarm. i still enjoyed it and would recommend getting it. service: 5/5 - both times we went, our servers were very friendly and answered any questions we had. dustin served us the 2nd time and he was AWESOME! very friendly, very patient with all our questions, very helpful and even asked the manager and/or cook if they could sort of combine 2 things we wanted into one. basically, we wanted a katsu teishoku but with curry over it (like curry house for those of you from CA). they were willing to do this for us but i ended up ordering the udon because i had the craving for it. next time, we will ask them to put curry over the katsu teishoku. there was a guy that went around refilling everyone's water and taking away empty plates. we never had to ask for water because he was very attentive and walked around with a friendly smile. every member of the staff we came across was very courteous and friendly. the parking sucks because this place gets pretty busy and there are very few spaces in their small lot. you will most likely have to street park and even that can be challenging. be prepared to deal with that and have to wait for a while but i think it's worth it, as long as i don't ever get the ramen again. they take reservations for parties of 6 or more and they have a party room which they say can seat 6-10 comfortably. you can fit 12 but that's pushing it and you may have to do the "take some and pass it down" method of getting dishes to your party. this place can get a little loud. we even noticed that they have cushions up on the ceiling on one side of the restaurant to drown out some of the noise. all in all, a great place. beside the ramen which i thought was horrible, everything else seems to be pretty good here, especially the sushi. there are still some dishes that we want to try so we will definitely be back here again! we can't wait to eat some sushi, not just rolls. read more

Komé - miso ramen - Japanese Near Me - Austin, Texas

See all

This place is always packed but honestly I'm clueless as to why. The sushi isn't very fresh. We ordered a fresh raw scallop dish and it tasted artificial as if it was preserved for a very long time. I can only make this comparison because we tried a similar dish, beforehand at Tomadachi, and it is by far one of my favorite dishes now. We were also never checked up on by our original server. I understand she was training someone but its good to teach these mannerisms to the new server. I had to ask for the check from a host after waiting 1 hr and 30 min for all 5 of our entrees. The environment may be similar to other Austin restaurants but it is very different from other Sushi restaurants. The ambiance is very relaxed unlike other more authentic Japanese restaurants. The noise level is extremely loud. The ramen at the other location may be worth the try but I'm not coming back to this location. read more

I went here close to 9 on a Tuesday night, and it was packed to the gills. I sat at the bar and decided to do omakase. Some of the dishes like the koviche and camembert tempura were just okay. I'd say for a izakaya-style place, I was surprised how superior their sushi was to their regular menu items. Every piece of nigiri I had was out-of-this world. The texture of each piece of fish was heavenly, and the cuts of meat were generous. I'd like to see more donburi and onigiri on the menu, but I will absolutely return to try other things. The prices were reasonable and the service was as good as you could have expected on a really busy weeknight. I also want to come to try their lunch menu, which seems completely different from their dinner menu. Austin still needs a good tonkatsu ramen! read more

The rice and noodle dishes here are spectacular - and the packed restaurant testifies to this! The beef curry dish with fried chicken is just mouth wateringly delicious. Ramen is also a top choice as the pork broth is rich, velvety, and creamy. If you can get double egg - do it. They have ONE private room which can sit up to 8 people - reservations are needed to get into this luxurious deluxe room in the sky. Lunch and Dinner menu's are different. read more

Found Kome on Yelp and was a little underwhelmed. The waitress was so awkward and made for an uncomfortable experience. The drinks were amazing and would go back for that. Some of the sushi rolls were so large that they were difficult to eat. read more

Pros: Great quality seafood. Great ambiance. Negatives: they don't take reservations and your entire party must be present in order to be seated. The menu is small, not much variety in sushi rolls. Portions are also small and pricey considering. Might be best suited for drinks and small bites but wouldn't consider returning if I were really hungry. read more

I have to admit that I have only come here for lunch. This place is great as far as ambiance, and it is truly owned by a Japanese couple. The portion size for the ramen is a little small, but it makes up in the soul. There is a good textured noodle that remains with some firmness regardless of how long it sits in that decadent broth Ramen is supposed to be Japanese comfort food. Kome has their noodles specially made and imported. There is an amazing roll - called something like Alone at Night. It's on the pricey end but delicious!!! read more

This review is for the time we went for lunch. Their lunch sashimi is a steal bc I got blue fin, hamachi, salmon, red snapper, aji, yellow roe (comes with side of rice and umami broth crazy good) for only $12or $14 I forgot exactly the price but the dish could have easily been $45 for dinner . Oh and the Ramen was amazing, so amazing that I'm going to have to make a trip back to Austin to eat at Kome for lunch and tryout their dinner since different crew and menu Fyi I know my fish bc I was trained at mushashino's when I was a sushi bar girl putting myself through college. read more

Kome is one of my favorite restaurants in Austin. This place is small and often have to wait 15-45 minutes. Parkings are hard to find during lunch hours but there are som street parkings in the neighborhood. Lunch is amazing! Highly recommend -Kara-Age is crispy with juicy chicken inside, very flavorful. Also can add $1 to make it Thai style, sweet and spicy with fishy sauce makes a perfect combination. -katsu don with curry is special. Fried pork is crispy with light breading. Curry flavor is strong and spicy, perfect with rice. -ramen is the bomb. If you're overwhelmed with their fantastic menu selection, ramen is the solid choice. Lunch ranges from $5-15. Large portion and very tasty. Happy hour Monday to Thursday 5-6pm with selections from sushi, appetizers, sake and Japanese beers. read more

This place is great; wish it was bigger... feel they can use more space already. Parking lot is small as well. as for the food; i agree w/ sentiments of other reviewers - finally a mid level sushi place that's not fancy/upscale and overpriced. They do Japanese food!!! I was pleased to see Ramen and Udon on their menu - but only for lunch. Ramen was good - honestly thought it was better then places like Ippudo (in NYC) and the cost is def. more affordable. They don't make their own broth though... it comes from a packet :( Sushi rolls are great and very fresh. It's got a great atmosphere and they'll be here to stay. read more

I love coming here for lunch to eat their ramen. It's always a pretty solid choice with an egg, pork, seaweed, corn, spring onion, and springy noodles. Their sushi is also good. If you want a good ramen place without the lines, definitely visit Kome! read more

Go for the spicy miso ramen - not for the service or the gyoza or anything else on the menu for that matter. We got the spicy miso, spicy tonkotsu, and gyoza. The service was tardy. We didn't get our gyoza until we were both done with our ramen. Anyway, the broth for the spicy miso is better than Ramen Tatsuya's but that's about it. I still have yet to find thick wavy noodles anywhere in Austin or Texas for that matter. Having traveled all over the globe for ramen, the thick wavy noodles are a gold standard. read more

Warm beer, wrong sushi roll, started off wrong but the Takoyaki made up for it immediately. Reminded me of shopping in Yokohama where Takoyaki was something you ate while walking around the mall. Rolls were really good, even though they got one of the rolls wrong (didn't order it). Their checkin and wait system works well. Goes by faster than you think. Outside sitting is great when the sun is not unbearable. read more

Limited parking in front of the restaurant, but can park along the street in the residential area nearby. The hostess wasn't happy to see us, but our server was very friendly and welcoming. The restaurant has a local Austin beer that incorporates green tea and wasabi flavors. Would definitely try it next time I go. I got an Asaki draft which was delicious with the chicken karaage. I came here to satisfy my karaage craving but the karaage was overfried so it lost some of its juiciness. The flavor was there and the meat was still tender, but the batter was a bit too thick. The karaage came with rice, salad, and soup, so it's a big portion for lunch. Would like to go back to try some sushi. read more
