Justin Martin: The gyoza were best in Austin. The original ramen while not bad wasn’t particularly memorable. I was expecting more depth & homemade noodles? Great ambiance & I’ll be back to sample other versions.
Ice Cream Parlor · Bouldin Creek · 5 tips and reviews
Justin Martin: LUV IT!. Try the old-fashioned hamburger loaded w/ cheese & bacon for simplicity & taste. The butterscotch shake & root beer float made me feel like a kid w/ everything. Bravo Sandy’s luv it all!
Justin Martin: Bone marrow out of site along w/ the crab cakes, the Caesar salad w/ Shrimp was outstanding & the meat/cheese board perfect! Great wine selection & I highly suggest making it a culinary destination.
Seafood Restaurant · Downtown Austin · 2 tips and reviews
Justin Martin: The classic roll needed more mayo & less spices & the bisque w/ meat was perfect but sherry was missing. The mac & cheese was spot on. Overall the price was a little high but the food was good.
201 E Riverside Dr (btw Congress and Newning), Austin, TX
Sandwich Spot · 25 tips and reviews
Justin Martin: Fairy decent subs but not much creativity or exclusivity. The Italian was decent while the California club was tasty. Try the egg salad or Pastrami in a pinch. I think it’s an Austin thing?
Coffee Shop · Bouldin Creek · 197 tips and reviews
Justin Martin: The Tuna salad sand is hard to beat! For coffee, the Jo’s drip is phenomenal while the Café Au Lait beats out the macchiato.. barely. In other words, all the coffees are outstanding! Enjoy!
Mexican Restaurant · Southpark Meadows · 37 tips and reviews
Justin Martin: Wow the mild salsas are HOT but tasty & guac is on point. The Al Pastor tacos are delicious but the star is the beef fajitas! Lots of fun & flavorful Ritas. Worth the time & stomach space!
1412 S Congress Ave (at Elizabeth St.), Austin, TX
Mexican Restaurant · Bouldin Creek · 246 tips and reviews
Justin Martin: Love the authenticity & ambiance! The fajitas are too good & keeps me from other dishes. Green & red salsas are a perfect opener. Fish Tacos w/ the chipotle mayo is breathtaking & Ritas rock!
Japanese Restaurant · Rosedale · 181 tips and reviews
Justin Martin: Great saki! The brussle sprouts were perfect, the kinoko needed a contrasting texture, the beef & romaine lettuce was chewy. Other rolls were on point & well executed . A solid & enjoyed effort.
Japanese Restaurant · Southpark Meadows · 33 tips and reviews
Justin Martin: The seaweed salad is refreshing & tempura app & Miso soup are spot on. I highly recommend the volcano roll for a little heat, rainbow roll, as a sampling, & dynamite roll. Great food!
Thai Restaurant · Bouldin Creek · 11 tips and reviews
Justin Martin: Best yellow curry in Austin. I had it w/ the pork & perfection. Pad thai is traditional which was perfect. Tuk Tuk ball was fun and interesting. Egg rolls & rangoons better than restaurants. A++
Justin Martin: Both the green & red salsas were flavorful. I could eat the barbacoa tacos all day long & the chille relleno’s were the best I’ve had in Austin! Lots of authentic flavorful food! Best Mexican!
Burger Joint · Bouldin Creek · 23 tips and reviews
Justin Martin: As good as fast food can be. The Dr Pepper shake was tasty & interesting. The grilled chicken sandwich isn’t bad & the Whataburger is better than other fastfood joints. Restaurant was clean.
408 Josephine St (Barton Springs Blvd.), Austin, TX
Wine Bar · Zilker · 36 tips and reviews
Justin Martin: I simply love this place. I tried the new-world tasting class & the staff was extremely knowledgeable. If reserving a tasting, ask the servers to pair menu items w/ the wine for the best experience.
Justin Martin: Whats not to like? The homemade berry poptarts knock it out the park. I love the ¼ summer moon latte & you can taste the fire. Don’t try the Matcha Moon Latte unless you like addiction! Bravo A++!
Justin Martin: Pimento cheese was off (I’m from Charleston). Fried shrimp crust had an odd taste, but the octopus was great & well-balanced accompanying flavors. Great ambiance & cocktails were creative.
Thai Restaurant · South Manchaca · 3 tips and reviews
Justin Martin: The yellow curry was pretty average. Pad thai was decent but nothing memorable. I liked the Pad Kee Mao as it stuck to the ribs and the Thai Basil Rice was spot on. Decent place to enjoy Thai.
Seafood Restaurant · Old West Austin · 71 tips and reviews
Justin Martin: Brilliant experience! Caviar was to die for, crab cakes were meaty & not much filler, the ceviche is one of the best, anywhere, & I could eat the sprouts all day long. Great wine, great restaurant!
American Restaurant · Old West Austin · 32 tips and reviews
Justin Martin: EVERYTHING is outstanding! The foie gras, truffled eggs, lobster bisque are heavenly, snapper en papillote is an experience. ½ off wine bottles on Sunday! My FAVORITE restaurant in Austin, period!
Justin Martin: Squid ink paella is divine, charcuterie plate is well balanced, the jamon serrano could use acidic pairing to cut the fat. You can’t go wrong with the Tuna salad. Bottom line, PAELLAS, enjoy!
New American Restaurant · Zilker · 130 tips and reviews
Justin Martin: Scallops are a MUST, fried quail is a wonderful experience in texture diversity. The pork had too much gristle & wasn’t great, & all deserts rock. The specialty cocktails are top notch. A-score!
New American Restaurant · Zilker · 18 tips and reviews
Justin Martin: Octopus is OUTSTANDING, poke was to die for, steamed mussels flavors married well together, crudo was delicate w/ attention to flavor profiles. I’ve been 3 times, 2nd fav restaurant in town!
