Sushi was incredibly fresh, the service was engaging , fast and friendly... it's a smaller restaurant but the atmosphere was perfect! We ordered 2 rolls , sashimi, shashito peppers and I loved every bite !! The ex-wife and ex-husband rolls were so delicious and you can order 6 pieces or the full roll (which I love) and the salmon sashimi was buttery and perfectly melted in my mouth!! Absolutely recommend and have found my new sushi spot close 10 min from our house !! Great job

Ingredients tasted extremely fresh and were enjoyable to eat. My avocado roll was freshness with a good size portion. Also, Sushi Koehn offers a variety of options including bento boxes and hot dishes. The restaurant has clean architectural lines with an understated feel. While the restaurant is small and charming, the atmosphere is casual and relaxed. My server was super friendly and welcoming. As an added bonus, I visited during their happy hour. I did not realize it until I saw a lower amount than I was expecting. Overall, very good dining experience. Will definitely return to try more of their menu items.

Been meaning to try this place for a few years, and I finally made the drive up to Cedar Park to…read moretry what many online threads claim is the most authentic ramen in the area. The broth is delicate -- dashi-forward and mellow. One thing Ramen 512 does really well is the condiment setup. The way a diner has salt, pepper, ketchup, and Tabasco on the table, Ramen 512 offers togarashi, black pepper, rice vinegar, and chili oil -- exactly what a ramen shop should have. Since the broth was a bit light for my taste, I used the chili oil and pepper to dial it in. The noodles are thin and slightly soft, reminiscent of chūka soba. Not bad, but not my favorite style. The ajitsuke tamago (seasoned egg) is decent. The menma (bamboo shoots) were cut too thick. I ordered extra scallions but didn't get much. The chashu meat was chicken, which is fine. The internet isn't wrong -- this is authentic ramen, faithful to its roots. But it's also firmly mid. In Japan, ramen exists on a spectrum: there are bowls people line up hours for, and there are bowls you grab at an airport or a food court -- perfectly respectable, just unremarkable. Ramen 512 lives closer to the latter. It respects the craft without pushing it forward. It won't make you count the days until your next visit. But it's a solid neighborhood bowl, and I'm glad it exists. **8/10**

Ramen512 is by far the best spot for traditional and authentic Japanese ramen in the north Austin…read morearea! Everything they serve is made from scratch including their noodles and broth but the pricing is incredibly reasonable. Their customer service is top-notch which is just the icing on the cake! FAST FACTS: * Parking - located in a shopping center with a large parking lot * Reservations - no but you put your name into a tablet when you arrive to join the queue if there's a wait * Online ordering - available for pickup on their website * Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays * Weekly specials available until sold out (check their Instagram or Facebook) SERVICE - We arrived at 6:35 pm on a Sunday and were 4th in line after joining the queue through the tablet. Our table was ready at 7:00 pm and one of the workers kept us updated about the status of our table several times while we waited. Once seated, there is a QR code on the table to scan and place your order. Our server brought water to the table right away and checked on us throughout the meal to make sure we had what we needed. All of our food was prepared and delivered to the table about 10 minutes after ordering. I was incredibly impressed by the customer service! PRICING - The total was $67.65 after tax ($5.15) but before tip for a chicken karaage ($8), signature shoyu ($17) with extra spinach ($1.50) and extra kikurage mushrooms ($1.50), classic tonkotsu ($17), and black tonkotsu ($17.50). I think the pricing is reasonable for the quality of ingreidents and portion size. CHICKEN KARAGAGE (8/10): The chicken is incredibly juicy and tender while the coating is crispy! The Japanese mayo on the side for dipping is delicious. It comes with several large pieces so it's a great option for an appetizer to share. SIGNATURE SHOYU (8/10): This is a Tokyo-style shoyu ramen with chicken and dashi broth that's savory, umami, and a little tangy. It comes with pork chashu (I subbed chicken for no extra cost), homemade noodles, spinach, bamboo shoot, scallion, nori, Japanese fish cake, and half a soy egg. I added extra spinach and kikurage mushrooms for $1.50 each. CLASSIC TONKOTSU (9/10): This has a rich and creamy pork broth with a savory umami flavor. It comes with pork chashu, homemade noodles, kikurage mushrooms, beni shoga, scallions, nori, and half a soy egg. This is definitely a must-order if it's your first time! BLACK TONKOTSU (8/10): This has a rich and creamy pork broth with black garlic oil. It comes with pork chashu, homemade noodles, kikurage mushrooms, beni shoga, scallions, nori, garlic chips, and half a soy egg. All the flavors pair well together but the garlic does overpower the pork flavor in the broth (but I think that's to be expected if you're ordering a black garlic tonkotsu). Honestly, there's nothing not to love about Ramen512... from the service to the ingredients to the pricing, it has everything you could want and more. Eventually, I'd love to try everything on the menu because there are so many great options! The interior has counter seating like what you would traditionally see at a ramen shop in Japan as well as tables so it's perfect for enjoying a meal by yourself or with your entire family. I would recommend Ramen512 to anyone in the north Austin area looking for authentic Japanese ramen at a reasonable price!

We visited EurAsia Ramen in Cedar Park on a very busy evening, and it was clear that this place is…read morepopular. The restaurant is located in a bustling area surrounded by retail shops and restaurants, which makes parking a bit challenging during peak hours. Because of the crowd, finding a table took some time, and there was a wait for our food as well. However, the ordering kiosks made the process quick, convenient, and easy to navigate, which helped streamline the experience. Once our food arrived, it was well worth the wait. The ramen was flavorful, delicious, and clearly made with care. Despite the crowds, we enjoyed our meal and can see why so many people choose to dine here. We'll definitely be back, but next time we'll try visiting during a less busy time to enjoy the experience even more.

No, and honestly I'm thankful. It was the right amount. Everything was very balanced in the ramen and it was very enjoyable.

We also enjoyed the sushi, though particularly pricy - A trend we've noticed for decent (and not so decent) Japanese food here in the greater Austin area.

Also, the service is a bit weird, ordering very good food and not cheap through a kiosk. Still great chiefs and place!

Title: Unfortunate accessibility barriers and rigid management…read moreI visited Bluefin in Hutto today but ultimately had to leave without eating due to significant accessibility issues and inflexible service. As a handicapped individual, I was disappointed to find that the only way to order is by standing up at a kiosk. This setup creates an immediate barrier for anyone unable to stand. Because of this restriction, my personal assistant had to navigate the ordering process for me. The kiosk interface proved confusing, resulting in an incorrect order that went unnoticed until a $71.45 hold was placed on my card. When we identified the mistake--which involved a significant price difference between a $10 item and a $22 item--I asked the staff to correct it. While they offered to change the dish, management refused to adjust the credit card charge to reflect the lower price. When I asked the manager to either process a partial correction or issue a full refund, he initially insisted neither option was possible. However, he then chose to issue a full refund altogether. This outcome made it clear that a new, correct order could have been processed from the start, but management simply chose not to accommodate the fix. While I cannot speak to the quality of the food, the lack of accessible ordering options and the rigid customer service make this location difficult to recommend for individuals with disabilities.

Great service and delicious food…read more We've only been a few times at this point, but I did want to share a few thoughts. First, the service is great. Upon entering the restaurant, we were greeted with the customary "Irasshaimase" (いらっしゃいませ). That was a blast from the past! The waiter immediately seated us and was attentive throughout the meal. When it became a little busier, his visits were a little more sparse, but he was always available with a wave of a hand. When I asked if they had Chilean sea bass, by chance, he said no and apologized. Then he went on to say that if we call in a week in advance, they could order some and prepare it for us. How cool is that? It isn't the only place I've had that offered, but it certainly is extremely rare and a good sign that they have a good relationship with their fishmongers. On both occasions, we were a bit flustered after being out all day doing errands and stuff. We were voracious but also a bit exhausted. LOL. So we opted to be measured and order just a few rolls between the two of us. While I don't remember the names of the rolls we tried on either occasion, I can say that they were delicious both times. One thing to note is that their rolls are a little rice-heavy. Not a problem if you're used to it. But it is a concern if you want a bit more protein, as you'll fill up faster! Wasabi looks and feels like a typical sushi joint. All in all, it is a great experience. Their menu has a nice selection and is a bit more quaint, and offers a quieter experience. We plan on visiting a few more times to try out a few more things unique to Wasabi and to see if the experience is consistent. Definitely recommend it if you're on it's side of town.

My overall experience was good but wasn't bad but just in the middle. Not the best sushi I've had…read morebut also not the worst, a few pros and cons. Cons: The rice is missing more vinegar, the rice is slightly hard in some grains and it's lacking flavor. It's decent sushi rice but to me it doesn't taste like sushi rice. The 3 rolls I ordered were smaller than I expected maybe because I've gone to soo many sushi restaurants and expected middle sized rolls with more avocado and imitation crab in the center. The salmon is very orange for some odd reason. Love the baked volcano roll, creamy at the end, warmer baked imitation on top. Pros: The fish is fresh, you can see the avocado, the white fish, the salmon, the tuna, and I will say the fish is fresh. If your that type of person that is going for quantity over quality, it's not that bad of an experience. To pay $17 for a buy one get one free, that is it's only saving grace. If it wasn't buy one get one free, the value to dollar would be off but luckily they offer that promo. So when I look at the price to value to quality and quantity, it's just in the middle. Not bad. Not good. Just Alright alright alright
