    The best sushi in Austin Chefs Elvin and Fidel after so skilled Wait staff Kira and Ben are so knowledgeable

    After too long of a hiatus, I finally returned to Tatsumi last night and had some incredible nigiri. We did a mix of our choices and our server's choices: -king sake (classic, fantastic) -fujisan trout (insane, loved) -Hirame (solid start -ishigakidai -yukimasu (bacon jam, ponzu, truffle sauce) -otoro (a MUST) -Hotate foie gras (fig jam, Lemon, citrus juice) -madai (better than others I've tried, citrusy and fresh) -unagi (sweet end to the meal) All of the fish was fantastic. Service was lovely. I need to come back immediately.

    Was excited to try a new sushi spot and checked out Tatsumi Sushi. The rolls were fresh and tasty but a bit heavy on the sauce at times. Service was decent, our waiter was a little awkward, but everything came out in a timely manner. The music was really loud, which made it tough to hear everyone at our table of four. Prices also felt a little high for what you get. We ended with the matcha tiramisu, which was unfortunately disappointing in size, flavor, and presentation. Overall, not a bad experience, but there's definitely room for improvement.

    The sushi was very good and our waiter was very helpful with suggestions in food and sake. I had been here a couple times before some years ago and don't recall it being as good as it was last week when I met a friend here for an early dinner. Be prepared to spend some money as the options aren't cheap. The sake can be $20 per glass! My friend has been here several times so he ordered the chef's 7 piece choice and we added a couple of salmon pieces. After tasting the snow trout, we ordered a couple more of those but I forgot to take photos of them! The brussell sprouts were delicious! My friend ordered a unagi bowl to go for his son who was at home and they had it ready for us when we left. I'm glad I gave this place another try as now I know another good sushi spot in the area!

    Lunch specials from the Sushi Bar

    Came here to try their lunch menu and they have some pretty good prices at lunch. It was fairly empty before noon but they got more customers after noon, I ordered the Chirashi which has 9 types of sashimi over sushi rice. The sushi rice came with kanpyo soI wasn't sure what that was but it seems to make the sushi rice more like fried rice in taste which was very different. The price was only 25$ which is way cheaper than most places for Chirashi bowl. This also came with miso soup with enoki mushrooms and small salad. I paired my meal with a cold Asahi beer from tap. Service was attentive. Will come here more often during lunch to explore their other sushi lunch specials as well as there bento lunch offerings from the kitchen.

    Tiffany, the owner, was patient with us after being trapped in the elevator of our hotel for an hour & a half, our reservations were scheduled for 7:45pm and we called, from the elevator, to let them know that as soon as we got out of the elevator we were coming to dinner, please don't give up on us!!!! The held our table and were so sweet and gracious when we arrived!!! Then Tiffany took care of our order and surprised us with things even off the menu!!! It was my 50th birthday present and now I am thoroughly convinced that there will definitely be SUSHI IN HEAVEN!!! Vin & Kyla were the best servers and we felt so loved on!!! Don't miss this best kept secret!!!

    Rating: 2.6/5 [dine in] We were excited to try this place because of their high rating, but unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. The restaurant had a modern industrial vibe. Service was extremely slow, and the food is overpriced for the quality. Tokyo Fried Chicken Karaage ($14): The meat was juicy and flavorful, though my husband thought it was just okay. Kani Jomaki ($18): Snow crab, greens, unagi, tamago, cucumber, shiso, and avocado. Unfortunately, this roll was very bland -- definite pass. Black Cod ($30): We waited quite a while for our black cod and even considered canceling the order. When it finally arrived, our server Vin (per the receipt) placed it on the table. Just as we finished taking pictures, a lady came over and said it was actually for another table and that our cod would be out "shortly." I'm pretty sure there's a health and safety policy that once a dish touches a table, it can't be served to another customer so her reasoning left us shocked. As for the cod itself, it was good but not as buttery soft as we prefer. A5 Ebi Uni Maki ($35): Charred A5 Miyazaki beef, botan ebi, uni, bigeye tuna maki. They only make 10 of these rolls per night, so we were glad to snag one. This roll had better quality ingredients and was more enjoyable. I'm not usually a fan of uni but could eat this one. It came with a fried shrimp head, but they didn't bring it to us until after the cod situation. When we asked for the check, it took forever to arrive. The sushi chef even had to remind our server. Overall, not worth the hype. We won't be back.

    Wagyu Fried Rice
    Kat Z.

    Right as I walked in, Tiffany welcomed me with such enthusiasm and hospitality. I asked for help on ordering for my large group. However, it was way too much and I wish they would've been more honest with the amount. The sushi here is very very fresh. I didn't expect for Texas sushi to be so good but I'm so glad I found this spot - not too fishy. My favorite was the crab roll. I think it was called LLG or KKG? or something like that. But next time I would edge on the risk of ordering less and adding more instead of creating so much food waste.

    nigiri
    Marcela D.

    food here was delicious!!!! we got the hamachi appetizer, madai nigiri, gary roll, and matcha tres leches ... all of which were fantastic. service and ambiance were great, also the music was great - whoever manages the playlist knows the good stuff.

    nigiri (uni, tamago, unagi)
    Rachel B.

    I recommend making a reservation in advance. Though they took us as walk ins, it seems like almost every table was already reserved even though it was mostly empty when we arrived (before 6:30PM). We tried the fried rice (delicious flavor but not a lot of pork). We got an assortment of nigiri including salmon, yellowtail, lean and fatty tuna, tamago, unagi, and two types of uni. The uni of the same type had a big taste difference (so be prepared for potentially getting less preferable tasting pieces) but it was some of the creamier better textured uni we've had in the states. The nigiri had a dreamy texture, buttery and soft without any odd chewy bits. The flavor felt a little lacking. I could have eaten any one of the nigiri and not tasted much distinction between them because there were toppings so not worth it to splurge on pricier cuts when the yellowtail and lean tuna were just as delicious as the fatty tuna. This was a much more classic sushi experience and I'd be interested in trying more of their dishes and nigiri in the future.

    My favorite sushi spot in Austin. The highest quality fish on the best rice. Always has different fish to try. All quality. Good sushi is that simple yet most places don't get it right. If you're looking for tradition Japanese where it's all about the quality of the fish and rice this is the spot. Oh and the hospitality and service is on point. Trust, come here

    Hamachi
    Shirin L.

    We were in Austin for work and stumbled across this spot on Yelp. Honestly, some of the best sushi we've had in a while! The restaurant itself was pretty chilly when we first sat down, but the server was super responsive and almost immediately adjusted the temperature and even followed up a couple of times to make sure we were comfortable. The place is a decent size, nicely done inside and clean. We ordered a mix of nigiri, hamachi, and a few rolls. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The king belly especially was like no other. We also got an avocado roll and veggie fried rice for our vegetarian friend, and she was just as happy with her meal. Overall, the food and service were both great. Would definitely come back next time we're in town.

The menu seemed to have changed a bit from last year, but looked substantially the same. We were able to call that day to check for availability and were able to walk in and get a seat for 3 at the hibachi table and didn't have to wait too long to get our orders in and eat. We enjoyed the entertainment the chef provided! We sometimes weren't clear who our server was so it took us a bit to flag the right person down to take a drink order. We ordered chicken, shrimp, steak, and salmon dish options. I had a hot sake too. I liked the onion type soup with mushrooms they offered this year as I'm not generally a fan of traditional miso soup. The place was nicely decorated and we enjoyed the annual experience of eating Japanese hibachi on Christmas Day! I'm sure we will be back again next year!

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'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.

For roughly $60 the wife was full and we had roughly 6 dishes and one cocktail (I was still slightly hungry). Think of it as more of a tapas style ordering. Soft shelled crab - My absolute favorite and by far the best dish! Crispy from the breading, soft shell and subtle crab taste, and to top it off the fried egg adds some creaminess from the yolk. Not greasy at all due to the way it's fried. And who doesn't like a little microgreen to add some freshness to it?! It could likely use a little more salt, and this particular time the yolk was a overcooked. Sushi Tacos - 2nd favorite! You get two, and frankly I prefer not sharing these (although my wife forced me to). It's such a unique dish. Each taco is palm sized. They take a yummy piece of laver (seaweed), coat one side and deep fry it to make a nice hard shell taco casing. Then they fill it with sushi rice, top it with plentiful tuna, add a slice of avocado, and top it with micro greens. Refreshing, light (once you squeeze the tiny lime on top), slightly filling due to the rice, and absolutely delicious. Takoyaki - I'm not a fan, but the wife is. For me it's a texture thing. Even when visiting Japan I didn't enjoy this dish. Honestly though I do think it deserves far more bonito flakes, as the dish is meant to look alive from the waving flakes. Honestly we love this place so much, I always get engrossed in the food so much I forget to take pics.
