My husband and I got Kome for dinner on a friday around 6:50 pm without a reservation. We waited…read morefor a good 40 minutes before we got seated. We ordered their tuna poke appetizer, trio roll, austin FC roll, and the matcha maker drink. Matcha Maker was a whiskey drink, tasted pretty fruity and was actually delicious. The whiskey taste comes later. The tuna poke was good, it came with 5-6 chunks of raw tuna with some avocados, which sat on top of some seaweed salad, and had 5 pieces of tortilla chips to pair with. The trio roll and austin fc roll were both delicious. The trio roll had no flavor, as it had 3 different sashimis, but was perfect with soy sauce and wasabi. The austin fc roll came with eel sauce and their house sauce, it was good on it's own. We were starving by the time the food came, since it did take a while as it was crowded.....like every seat in the house was taken! Dinner is izakaya style which is basically tapas or smaller/shareable plates vs entree style dishes. Lunch menu has more options, including bento boxes which we'll have to try next time! Our server was attentive and nice. Overall, definitely recommend. It is more on the pricier side, but it is worth it. Only thing I would do different is bringing a jacket. We came when there was that odd storm and it was freezing inside the restaurant.

For the salmon skin salad, they put the salad dressing on top of the salmon skin which made the skin super soggy. I told the waitstaff and she gave me salt to fix it which obviously didn't work. For the chicken teriyaki, my partner said that it 2as fine but it's the only thing he would order if ever to come again but it tasted fishy which was weird.

Honestly, I don't think I'd order that specific roll again. Delivery was late, but I appreciated that they at least sent a text to let me know ahead of time. That small touch helped. Overall, not a terrible experience, just nothing that would make me rush back for this roll.

The restaurant is on the smaller side and decorated nicely but it looks simple on the outside and inside. I mention this because it seems like a good spot for a casual meal or even a date. The waitstaff is nice and efficient. Now I heard the sushi here was amazing so I had to try the Chef's Choice nigiri, and I'm so glad I did. Every piece just melts in your mouth and has amazing flavor and quality. They know what they're doing! I believe it was 10 pieces only for around $50, so I was sad when it was over lol. It's a bit pricey but worth it. My friend ordered some sort of roll but I'd really recommend the nigiri. Plenty of parking since it's in a shopping area.

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.

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.

We arrived on time for our reservation (party of nine) and were told there would be a 10-15 minute wait, which ultimately turned into 45 minutes. The party ahead of us kept changing their guest count, with additional people arriving later, causing the hostess to repeatedly adjust their reservation and push back other confirmed parties. I checked in with the hostess several times, and although she eventually found us a table, it was an uncomfortably tight fit. There was no effort made to acknowledge or remedy the situation. At the very least, a complimentary appetizer or drinks would have been appropriate given the inconvenience. Unfortunately, I will not be returning to this restaurant-inconsistent service.

This place was amazing!…read more We tried both Sushi & Yakitori. Both great! The sushi tasted incredibly fresh and the Yakitori was cooked to perfection. Their fatty salmon was so juicy and I'm still thinking about it. Drool! I also had the fuku mule! I don't typically like spiced drinks but this one was nice and really tasty! My husband enjoyed his beers too. The service was nice as well. We sat at the bar so it was nice to order with the sushi chefs directly. The ambiance of the restaurant was nice. We went early around 5pm before the rush because we were headed to a wedding celebration and it was a good time to sit down and eat. Parking can be validated if you park in the parking garage. You just have to ask for it.

Our biggest issue was that we were seated at 8:15 and told half an hour later that they were closing an hour early and enforcing last call. Beyond that, they were gracious as could be given a staff that was making good on what they said and mostly minding their closing duties. The menu here is good, not great, and the prices are all over the place. The alcohol offering is most dissatisfying, the portions paltry, and the off-menu ube-misu was barely good enough to make up for the loss.

But recently last year and this year, we notice there's been a change of sushi chef and now the sushi quality has fallen below standards. This is our third time with this same negative experiences (2 take out and 1 in person) and now this prompt this one star review. The problem with the sushi is the protein (fish) is cut so super thin. The picture I included does not show how incredibly thin and skimpy the fish is. It's like paper thin thickness and to the point I can not taste the salmon or eel at all. I know the food cost has increased and you need to save cost but skimping paper thin fish in sushi and charging $18-$20 a roll is such rip off. At this point I am paying for rice, sauce, avocado, seaweed, and labor to make the sushi. Especially when we know the sushi was not made like this before. The thickness of the fish used to be the proper thickness in sushi restaurant industry. Unfortunately we cannot longer recommend Iron Fish for this reason. Paying that amount for the star (fish) of the show to be barely there is simply not acceptable. I sure hope the owner takes this feedback and change things. You can see old pictures I've taken and posted for this business and compare it to the sushi now. There's visible difference. If things change, you know we will be happy to return and support.

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.

Good pieces of fish! I also enjoyed the topping on each of them adding a nice twist to every bite. While it's not the most unique or blow your socks off quality, it is a good nigiri mix. The roll was also nice with a nice garlic crunch element layered in with the salmon and sushi rice. I like that the sushi rice is subtly sweet and tangy! The sunomono salad was pretty nice, but the sauce it came with was wonderful, especially paired with the nigiri and sushi roll. Since the sushi roll is basic, the sauce adds a nice sweet soy flavor. They also provided ponzu sauce which was more on the salty side. Overall, I enjoyed the takeout omakase box, but I don't think it's something I'd come back for until I have tried the other sushi spots in Austin.

The name actually means "red crown," referencing the distinctive red marking on the crane's head. This symbolism is widely associated in Japan with harmony, care, and precision. Tancho's branding and design materials explain that the name reflects their philosophy of balance and thoughtful craftsmanship. Their visual identity includes two "tancho" fish swimming in harmony, representing the relationship between chef and guest. Tancho has a minimalist, sleek persona with soothing colors. Happy Hour is very affordable with items as low as $5. I had the Salmon nigiri and and was pleasantly surprised by the light and flavorful taste.
