I tend to categorize sushi restaurants based on the style of food they serve and the type of dining…read moreexperience they're aiming for. Ichi Umi is definitely more of a casual, Western-style sushi spot, which usually isn't my personal preference. However, because this location is right by my husband's office, we ended up coming here fairly often. Over time, I learned to appreciate it for what it is: an easygoing, convenient option with reasonable prices and a large, approachable menu. I think of it as a slightly elevated version of grocery store sushi, which can be either a positive or a negative depending on what you're expecting. Overall, I'd rate it 3/5. It's perfectly fine for a casual meal and convenient when you're nearby, but it's not somewhere I'd go out of my way to visit for high-quality sushi.

I must have driven by this restaurant whenever I was on Parmer for like 15 years ... and never got…read morearound to going in. When I finally did, I discovered one of the best Japanese restaurants in Austin. Okay ... if you are going to pay $600 for an omikase then the omikase place is better. The tasting menu at Uchi is better. But if you just want Japanese without paying a gold brick and taking out a second mortgage on your house, Miyo Yakitori and Sushi is pretty damm fine. * * * a) Japanese curry is a utility dish in most Japanese restaurants ... and when you get down to it, in most Japanese homes. It is often what you serve on "cheap" night. Airport hotels offer it as the "free dinner" for tired travellers. The curry sauce itself here is standard issue. But they serve it with a Pork Katsu the size of Williamson county. And it is a very good Pork Katsu. That Katsu was good from Liberty Hill to Thrall and from Hester's Crossing to Jarrell. b) My carnivorous partner's Fireball Udon with Shellfish blew him away. Temperature wise and aesthetic pleasure wise. He raved about how good his udon was all the way home. c) Service was instantaneous. I think there was some sort of event horizon distortion of the space time continuum that allowed them to prepare the food and then go back in time and deliver it within a minute of it being ordered. Both of us were impressed. d) The service staff was as nice as any human beings could possibly be. * * * Great food. Great service. The folks who live in the apartment complex that Miyo is in are very lucky people indeed. Either the apartments are lovely and they get Miyo on top of that. Or the apartments are terrible, but they can still spend all their time in Miyo to compensate. Seems like a fair trade. **************** If you read the other reviews, There seems to be some controversy about this establishment. Miyo has fans and Miyo has haters. * * * Here is my read on the conflicting opinions: a) Earlier in the restaurant's history - Say about 2016, 17, or 18, The restaurant was not very good at all. I think at that time it had another name. b) There was a name change and quality went up. Sometimes when this happens there is an ownership change (or there is an owner who swaps out the management and cooking team to put in new blood.) However, things got fixed, they got fixed. c) Miyo's yakitori is apparently still not where it needs to be. I am not a huge Yakitori fan. If your broiled meat on a stick is not $80 an ounce Wagyu, Or amazing organ meats grilled in the Caucasus Barded with lamb fat and with farm fresh vegetables On another skewer for serious taste contrast ... If you are not at that high level, I don't want to pay for meat on a skewer. There are people who DO like Yakitori. They do NOT like the Miyo versions of that. * * * Yakitori is less than 20% of Miyo's menu. The rest is sushi or wonderful cooked dishes. Lay off the skewer food and you can do well here.

Keep in mind that locals know and love this place, so Friday-Sunday nights will need a reservation. Lunch is much more tame. I personally like the fast but friendly bustle of a popular eatery, and they are popular for a reason. If you aren't tempted by the offerings on their menu, they do rotating chef specials in sashimi or nigiri style. Last night my trio did both and were treated to absolutely decadent and culinarily exquisite combinations of flavor. Even on such a packed night, our waitress was still welcoming, helpful, and engaging, ready to offer recommendations and going over each course in detail. If you love sushi, you will love this place.

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!!!!!

She eats sushi, but she doesn't eat too much raw fish yet, so I told her she had to "cheers" with me every bite while I was teaching her how to eat and enjoy different kinds of sushi. Then the tables turned because SHE had to teach ME how to eat the soba noodles since it was my first time trying them. She goes, "Mom, it's in anime!" LOL. Apparently she knew exactly what she was doing. All of the workers were really nice, welcoming, and attentive. The restaurant was SUPER busy, and since it was our first time there, we didn't mind waiting. And honestly, it was definitely worth the wait! My daughter especially loved the ambiance. She made me take a bunch of pictures of her with the "aesthetic"x It was nice and quiet, and the seating had enough space that you weren't hearing the entire conversation from the group next to you. I do wish the restaurant was a little bigger, but hey... maybe in due time because they definitely deserve it! They also surprised us with a complimentary Pepper Fin -- yellowtail topped with jalapeño, greens, and sauce -- and OMG, it was SO GOOD! Such a nice surprise and definitely one of the highlights of our meal. Overall, great food, great service, great atmosphere, and most importantly, such a cute little mother-daughter memory for us. Thank you, Sushi Yume! I'll definitely be bringing my husband back next time so he can try it too!

Parking is normally pretty open but there was a bunch of people waiting to see purple martins so it was packed. But we found a spot regardless.

We've been to both Sushi Japon & Hibachi Grill locations in Austin, and at this point I feel like…read morethey deserve their flowers because they are consistently THAT good. 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.

I had…read morehonestly started to give up on Korean food after moving here from Dallas--cough Carrollton, IYKYK--but Ghama Zone reminded me what good Korean food is actually like. Unfortunately, I was too busy eating and socializing to take many photos, but the bossam in particular really stole the show. It was soft, flavorful, and not funky at all, which is one of my biggest pet peeves with bossam. It also came with lettuce leaves and soybean paste, which made every bite so satisfying. Their soup, which I did manage to photograph, was also amazing. The broth was clear yet refined and full of flavor. The beef rib had more meat than I could even finish and was incredibly tender. Overall, Ghama Zone is a great spot if you live nearby and are craving solid, comforting Korean food around Austin.

They had some other Korean and Japanese dishes on there but we came for the pockets lol Unfortunately when we recently visited, they're only available during weekday lunch and there are less options because I think it comes as a set? Our water canister had a piece of the paper straw wrapping in it and had to let our server know that she just poured that into our cups. After we saw the menu being primarily only Korean food, it was highly disappointing. I suppose that is fine for some people who may have wanted more Korean restaurants in RR but we left without ordering because of how deflated we were.
