Susan S.August 7, 2014I'm not a huge sushi person but I honestly loved everything I tried! The escolar that you cook on the hot rock was one of my favorites. Best dinner of my trip to Austin!
Social News NetworkAugust 2, 2013This restaurant had amazing sushi, a great bar, and nice atmosphere. I would recommend taking a sushi loving date here. Plus, it's downtown to go to bars later.
Prentiss Earl IIIJanuary 5, 2011Quail Egg Shooters, Yellowtail Jalapeno Sashimi, Escolar Sashimi & the Sea Bass Pineapple Rolls are out of this world. Alan the chef was a gracious host. THE perfect place to do sushi in Austin....#3t
Jon HousknechtSeptember 24, 2013Had a great meal here while on the road. They do have a nigiri combo if you ask for it (not on menu). Friendly staff and good sushi!
Sarah StaggersSeptember 6, 2011I recommend ordering off the cool menu. Sushi was also good and innovative. Also, don't forget dessert. The macadamia nut brownie and seasonal sorbet were both awesome!
Happy Hour here is the tits! Great service, great food! The 'Iris' is the only purple drank I'll ever have :) and the Hot Rock Hits the Spot

Come by and get some Cinco Vodka and enjoy some if the best sushi Austin had to offer...
Basia KMarch 10, 2011Torched escolar sashimi and Austin style (yellowtail) sashimi is great. Do not order the Rainbow Roll (off menu)!!! It costs $18 and is extremely bland!!!!
@kerrierieoDecember 17, 2011Great location. Miso cod is delectable. They should really allow split checks for more efficient paying on groups over 10.
Gauri ManglikMarch 7, 2012Delicious sushi and super swanky interior. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Ramiro R.May 16, 2011The Happy Hour off the hook. Try the Pork Kushiyaki, then try it again, yes its THAT good.
Ask for the Necio roll. It's not on the menu and they make it oh so yummy!!
Ask Jorge for the "catorce" roll. Not on the menu. Good stuff.
NMarch 13, 2012Tasty food but the service is unreliable. Our cheerful waitress forgot to place part of our order, left us waiting without food for a long while.
Somrat NiyogiMarch 12, 2010If you're at the bar and watching tv, use @gomiso and checkin and share what you're watching
Monica MarlerJuly 8, 2011Good seasonal menu, but as for the rest don't bother there are far better places in town- Ramiro R.May 22, 2011SO disappointed in the bill. Not that it was over $170.00 but that they charged gratuity on top of the big ass tip I gave them. Watch out for ya bill they will charge extra stuff if you don’t look out
