    Up top is the Ume and down below is the Ichi

    Chef Choo's sushi is the best in town! Everything is so fresh and beautiful! I've had the omakase before and today I tried a couple of new menu items - the Ichi and the Ume. Of course they were both incredible and huge portions! Chef Choo is a master in the kitchen and his dishes are masterpieces. You definitely want to place your order asap and enjoy an omakase at home! He's also the nicest human!

    Masterpiece, genius....Master Genius? These are just a few words I would use to describe Chef Choo's omakase creations. After trying his take on sandwiches at Choo Sando, I'm happy to say that the same amount of quality and level of detail is equally seen if not more in the omakase creations. Atmosphere: Although the food is all done via pre-order and take out only, you can still see the level of effort and detail put into the products. Great boxing, charming containers that are so nice you may even want to keep them. Complete with Chef Choo logo. Food: Now here is the real deal, any fan of Omakase style service and foods, this is a real treat not just for the stomach but for the eyes too. I ended up going with the Poseidon order, from beginning to end I was just beyond impressed. The fish served all tasted delicious along with such high quality presentation stand out for me being the fatty salmon...it's got that melt in your mouth good feel. Some orders come with a side of Sakura rice which is great to have not just as a complimentary piece but also to fill anyone whom maybe more on the hungrier side. Service: As stated above all service is done via curbside/pickup, with that said however, Chef is very nice and welcomes any compliments. Not only a culinary delight but a visual one as well, this is one experience you'll want to savor, best of all it can all be done from the comfort of your own home! So Rock 'n' Roe on all over for any Omakase cravings.

    70 Piece Set

    This was my very first Omakase and I can't imagine a better way to lose my first than to Chef Choo. To be completely honest, although there was a list of the fish provided, there were a solid couple where I could not tell what I was eating. But everything that entered my mouth was beyond delicious. The fish was fresh, well prepared, well balanced, and it was just a overall very delectable experience. We got the 70 piece set and it had anything and everything from your standard salmon to bluefin tuna to sea urchin and more. More often than not, the sets are completely sold out so if you can get your hands on this and you have a special occasion coming up, highly recommend splurging and treating yourself! Favorites from the sets: - Sweet Shrimp: texture was just the right amount of give, very sweet and flavorful, can easily tell that it was fresh, definitely one of the best sweet shrimps that I have had - Seared Tuna with Caviar: adding the sear provided a different texture, there is a bit of smokiness that is added, and it blended really well with the rawness, the caviar in addition just upped the flavor - Otoro with gold leaf: my personal favorite for all the reasons that you may suspect, it was the best piece of tuna that I have ever had. I honestly think if the entire 70 piece set was this, I would be happy. Also, you know it was gonna be good when the rice doesn't just crumble from soy sauce. Side notes: - When you order ahead of time, they will send you a pick up time and pick up instructions. Most of this is delivered via text. - The types of nigiri that you get are all outlined via text for you to use as reference. - Aside from the sushi, there is also home made soy sauce and citrus ponzu combined with pickled veggies.

    Purchased this for an at home sushi dinner for 4 and we really enjoyed it! Fish was fresh and flavor was great. There is always some risk of taking home sushi that the flavor changes but not in this case! Recommend if you are looking for a great at home experience.

    Omakase sushi yummyyyyy so fresh and high quality!

    I really enjoyed every bite of my omakase !!!!!! I'm from San Antonio but it's worth driving there because chef Choo serve high quality fish!!! Package is very cute and well packaged! He makes his own soy sauce, ponzu sauce and even pickles are so yummy!!! Every single thing it was in the box was amazing!!!! Highly recommended!!!! Wish I was close so I can order from chef Choo every week!!! I will be back tho for sure!!!!

    Chef Choo's food is one of a kind! We've ordered from Chef Choo 4 times now and every time we've been blown away by the experience. The quality of the fish and other ingredients is truly top notch. Choo curates a great home experience with the expert skill put into the execution and packaging of each dish. We've explored many of the top end omakase experiences around Austin and Chef Choo's quality, portion size, and passion is the experience we come back for again and again.

    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.

    Komé is good but could be great. The huge menu is a catch all of everything you could expect from…read moreJapanese cuisine. It's almost so much that there are too many options. Thankfully, most a very good choices! The fries are great. It's weird to start with that but they really are. Same goes for pretty much any sushi. You'll be able to taste the freshness of the fish. However, avoid the curry and katsu. My katsu can only be described as overdone. The breading tasted nearly burnt dry and banding in the meat (see my photo) shows how it was separating from being cooked too long. The curry is as disappointing as their sister restaurant. It's weak enough that I'd venture I could produce a better curry in bulk. Their menu also changes between lunch and dinner so it's possible other non sushi options are better. So do come here and enjoy the sushi, but don't venture into the other menu items. They'd really shine by focusing on a core menu with less accompanying dishes.

The dining room is bright, airy, and calm, as a soothing oasis in an overstimulating desert. They've been on the scene for over 7 years, though it's still as busy as ever. The menu is compact but thoughtful, centered around Japanese comfort food with an eye for detail and utterly immaculate presentations. The sautéed tofu set truly an ideal, complete meal. With such a variety of dishes comprised of equally diverse flavors, colors, and textures, it puts the average bento box to shame. You get a steaming bowl of miso soup, pickled veggies, furikake-topped rice, and even a soft pine nut cookie to compliment the star of the show, which is a perfectly portioned serving of tofu and vegetable stir fry. I could happily eat this every day and. The yaki udon is a great standalone entree with tons of staying power thanks to those thick, chewy noodles. Plenty of tender-crisp vegetables and crispy tofu balance things out with all the protein and fiber you need to make it from lunch to dinner without any struggle. There are tons of lovely little bites, too. Onigiri are possibly their signature snack, and for good reason. Both the pickled vegetable and avocado varieties were beautifully formed and deceptively simple, letting the quality of each ingredient shine. Simple as some dishes may seem, they're made thoughtfully, and exceptionally well.

We didn't stay to eat but the shop is such a cute little spot! If I lived more north I think I would make this a regular spot; parking is a little limited but it wasn't super busy when I stopped by on a Saturday a bit before 6. The staff was friendly and I really liked the vibe/decor inside, and that you can get food, ice cream, coffee, or a beer! Whatever you are in the mood for! We wanted some finger food so we got a variety of onigiri, some potstickers, chicken karaage, and spicy edamame. There was a short wait past the time quoted but it wasn't long, the staff was very communicative about it, and the food was fresh and hot when I received it. I'd rather have hot food a little late than lukewarm food any day! When we got to karaoke and dug in everything was still hot and delicious. I think my favorite were the potstickers but those are just one of my favorite things anyways lol, the onigiri was great, chicken was juicy, and the edamame just a little bit spicy. This was a great choice for a fun night and I can't wait to try more off the menu!
