Read all the reviews and decided to stop in. When we arrived (2 on a Saturday) the place was packed. We took this as a good sign--it was popular! We were wrong. We ordered. Twenty minutes later, we realized none of the other tables had any food, and none was leaving the kitchen. The wait staff didn't warn us it was going to be a wait, and indeed seemed to ignore us entirely. It took an hour almost exactly for our food to arrive. It was good, but not worth an hour wait. I doubt we'll be back. The chef/owner/someone did apologize for the wait, but only after we'd already been served. read more

Took a trip up to North Austin. This is still the best food you'll find in the area. Period. Its so fresh. Its so healthy. There is no reason to go anywhere else north of 183 and mopac. I got the steak dish with sweet potato noodles and strawberries with avocado and so many other tasty veggies! Perfect dish, perfect service. I love you Fresh Heim! read more

Good quality food, very fresh, cooked well. Lovely staff. A bit pricey.

This is one of my favorite restaurants. I always go here when I visit Austin. The food is very fresh, healthy, and flavorful. The owner is very nice and there is usually calming instrumental music playing. read more

Odd location for this restaurant but walking in I was pleasantly surprised. It has been completely re-done. Staff was very friendly and the service was great and fast. Tons of healthy options! I will definitely be back. read more

This is my favorite lunch place. The food is always fresh and tasty, and their servers are always friendly. On top of that the presentation of a the meals is very appealing as evidenced by the pictures on yelp. I highly recommend the dragon pearl jasmine tea on cold days! read more

We need more places like this!! Beautiful, healthy and filling food. This is one of those undergo restaurants that you pray never close their doors. If you want to eat a healthy meal, this is the place. read more

Got the steak salad after my facial few weeks ago. Definitely fresh and delicious. Too bad it's little far from where I live. Definitely will order from them again if I'm around the area and want a healthy meal. read more

Very tasty.. Really enjoyed it.. Quiet for a Saturday evening .. I hope this place stays open cause I'm planning on being back. Ribeye was A+ read more

Nice healthy options that are pretty yummy. Make sure you call before you go, they like to close early.

Always delicious. Always friendly and welcoming. It's even great for large parties. Probably the healthiest restaurant in Austin.

Well as per the reviews from Yelp we decided to try Fresh Heim. The lack of the final star is for the professionalism of the staff being at a high level. Yet I do have to say they were friendly and courteous. That being said the food is truly a delightful change from any dining experience we have had in Austin. The entire food experience from appetizer to entree was perfection. We decided to start with two spring rolls the chicken and hummus. The vegetables were fresh and the combination delicious as well as aesthetically pleasing. The dipping sauce added to the rolls without being overpowering. We tried two different main courses: prime rib steak and chicken with a side of fresh steamed veggies and raw salad. The meat was cooked to perfection. Although I would say my steak was a little over seasoned, it was cooked to my asking medium rare and melted in my mouth. The chicken was moist and also melted in your mouth with a delightful sauce. The sides of vegetables and beautifully season type of sticky rice were light and we could taste each different vegetable in the purist form. Our dishes came w several different sauces for us to dip into if we chose. This delightful little restaurant has only been open for 2 months. I can't wait to see how it will develop over the next several months as more of us Austin folk adventured to this truly unique eating experience We look forward to going to Fresh Heim again and often. read more

Surprisingly great and healthy lunch special. 8.95 for their sliced beef and soooo good.

If you are looking for a healthy option this place is perfect. I have had the Chicken and the Beef plates and they were both incredibly delicious. Friendly staff and truly great food!! Will be making this a regular spot! read more

I have been eating on that plaza for years and never gave a chance to the place. Once I sit there I ordered the salmon salad with almond ginger dressing and oriental sauce. The salad is fantastic the color the flavors everything adds to the experience. I've been going there every week. I would recommend anyone to try read more

I can't tell you if it was good or not. Interesting menu, but we walked out after not being acknowledged by anyone. Too bad.

Outstanding experience. We had a late lunch, 1 Grilled Tofu and 1 Shrimp Roll. Absolutely wonderful. The ambiance is lovely and the combination of restful ambiance and healthy food took the edge off a long morning. read more

Being on a diet and eating out.. Not the easiest combo! But this restaurant offers just enough variety and everything is healthy! If you're craving a steak, this is the place to go! My sirloin was so tender and juicy!! My hubby and son had the steamed veggies, I had the fresh salad. Both were amazing! My daughter had the shrimp rolls and loved it! All of our plates were empty :) So we were able to eat out, stay on our diet and make the kids happy as well!! Will definitely come back!! read more

Fresh Heim is a small place with incredible food and a bit of an identity crisis. I can't capture just how good the food is in just a few words, so I won't even try. Aside: Like others have mentioned, be prepared for the portion size. It is perfectly in line with other higher-end restaurants. But it is noticeably smaller than a standard tex-mex/American place. Go there for quality, not quantity. I had the chicken breast with mango sauce (spicy.) It was easily the best chicken I've had in memory (recent or not.) Both the quality of the chicken--cooked perfectly, etc--and the seasoning/sauces. The mango sauce is quite light. Thier spicy sauce is similar to a sirracha sauce, but I'd be surprised if they didn't make it themselves: tastier and a bit spicier than that rooster bottle glued to the table at most mid-range Asian joints. The quality and freshness of the vegetables in the "salad" was superb. I include quotes only because it does not come out first like an anonymous tossed concoction would at other steakhouses. It is an integral part of the main course. Next time I will try the fresh vegetables: the two pieces of asparagus that garnished the chicken left me quite curious to experience the rest of their vegetables, especially the brussel sprouts.--I've never had a Brussel sprout that was remotely edible, but I keep hearing that very well prepared ones are tasty. This would put that mystery to bed, if any place could make them tasty (to me) this place certainly would. I chose the noodles, which were 1 to 1.5 cups of noodles that turned out to be a variation on an Japanese sesame noodles. (I happen to strongly dislike sesame; to me, it it completely overpowers everything else. I thought the noodles were between okay and good, which must mean they were actually top notch as well.) I sampled the rice, and rather than just being a filler on the side, it was flavorful and I would have eaten every last grain. Get the server to describe the rice for you, since I only had a nibble I would probably get it wrong. Just do not expect a cup of steamed white rice. I saw the potatoes: they were a couple of thick slices of baked potatoes in a yellow sauce. I mention this because the server described them as a regular "baked potato" - - I assume the notation that one would just eat a plain baked potato slathered with butter and cheese along with their stake is such a foreign concept he didn't even realize he described it confusingly for an American audience. In the beginning of this review I mentioned an identity crisis: The owner/operators are Japanese and you can definitely see that coming through in the decor and through the preparation of the meal. Important: this is NOT "Japanese food," and I'm not sure I would even say it is inspired by Japanese food.--Except perhaps the appetizer rolls that, like everything else, were incredibly tasty. I had the shrimp roll with the ginger sauce/dressing. I would describe them as cross between a Vietnamese spring roll and a Sushi roll.--To rephrase, Fresh Heim is NOT Japanese food, but rather it is how a Japanese chef would reinvent the American steak and potatoes. Also on the identity crisis front is the mismatch among the location, decor, prices and quality of the food. And I am not complaining about this! Even though the tables look only one or two steps up from a plastic table and it's tucked away in an anonymous strip center... It allows you to get food at the level you may expect from a posh French place downtown at prices comparable to a typical steakhouse (E.g. Texas Road House.) read more

The food was delicious! Everything was fresh and cooked perfectly. They are clearly very focused on healthy unprocessed foods. They manage to achieve that goal with seriously tasty dishes. The prices were decent and the service was good. The ambiance and decor are pretty mellow - almost too mellow - but pleasant nonetheless. read more

The steak and salad were amazing and some of the best that I've ever had but, the chicken was under cooked and overall bad. Would come back for steak though. read more

Wow... so after writing the review, the owner wrote back telling me I'm a liar, and that all of his reviews are real. Of course they are, that's why your reviews average less than 20% of the friend/review numbers of most other restaurants. Include the ones yelp already caught and that number goes even lower. With your sample size being over 50 reviews, you can't write that off to random chance anymore. You are paying for positive reviews. There's no question about it. After writing it I guess he realized what he sounded like, cause he deleted the comment he wrote. Oh, and I'm a woman by the way. I was there three weeks ago on a Thursday night with a friend. There was only one other table in the entire restaurant the entire time we were there. Remember me now? Speaking of which, a lot of the reviews mention how you're empty all the time. Who's writing your reviews? Based on the pace of your reviews you're getting reviews at the same pace as Uchi and Uchiko. That's real likely. And I love how immediately after I posted my review, you get a flurry of new reviews that just happen to no longer fit the 0-1 friend, 0-3 reviews profile. For a restaurant doing hardly any business, you seem to have a lot of really dedicated customers. Yelp should really check the EXIF data on the pictures that are being uploaded by the 'customers' for this restaurant. I have a sneaking suspicion if they did, they'd find they're all taken with the same camera. read more

Great place for a really good healthy meal! We ordered the Tenderloin w/Oriental Sauce and Eine sauce both. Meat was amazing cooked medium. Oriental sauce much better than the wine sauce. Ordered veggies and fruits, paired with the sauces makes for an awesome combo. Dip your meat in the oriental sauce and veggies in the Balsamic soy and you won't be disappointed. Looking forward to lunch. I agree the service is not exactly 5 star but this is a family owned business and they are really nice. Overall great experience and we will be back! read more

This restaurant has delicious food and great service. My steak and veggies were cooked to perfection. I can't wait to come back and try their other dishes. read more

I went here two days in a row for lunch and another time the next week. This will be a regular lunch spot when I am craving something light and healthy. Honestly I was a little hungry a few hours later, but I could do without being stuffed once in a while. The food is very fresh and tasty, but the service is painfully slow, so don't go if you are in a hurry. Seems like there is always only one lady serving and it's not her strong suit. I assume she is one of the owners or a family member. They would be better off hiring someone with the demeanor and skills to be a server. Luckily the food, when it finally arrives, saves the day. read more

Top quality food in a way that you are supposed to eat. You order your protein and the younger a giant plate of veggies, either salad or cooked veggies with a small portion of carbs, like rice or noodles. We left feeling full but like we did something good for our bodies. We loved it and will be back!!! read more

This restaurant embodies perfection, from the second you enter you feel like it's nothing but a simple restaurant. However the quality is beyond compare, will come here many times in the future. read more

Can't say enough about this little hidden gem. Been coming for about 2 years and it's great each and every time. Great place for a lunch with friends or to place an order to go. The hummus rolls are off the charts yummy and the combo lunches with the sweet potato glass noodles keep me coming back for more. Presentation is just as fantastic in the to-go's! Crazy fresh and delicious. Sweet family that runs the biz- let's show them some more love. read more

Fantastic place. I been looking for a really healthy spot in Austin and this is it. Great chicken breast and salad. All meals and salads are 100% fresh. read more

Chicken salad was delicious, fast service, great customer service. Not crowed at all. Tiramisu was fozen but he said it was ice cream tiramisu. Overall nice healthy place. read more

Sigh.. Ok so the service was terrible. Waiter seemed inexperienced and extremely nervous for some reason. When it was time to order, I wanted to substitute the sauce for another one. Waiter said no because the sauce it comes with is "better". WTF?! I didn't ask you what you think is better, if you don't do substitutions just tell me that. Then when the food comes out the sauce is ON TOP of the food, meaning that it could have EASILY been substituted. The rest of the staff was not very different. The lady who brought me the water didn't even acknowledge my presence, say anything, or even LOOK at us when bringing the water. Ok, i thought maybe the food is their redeeming quality. MAYBE their food is just so good that you can overlook this other stuff. Nope, food was pretty bad as well. I don't understand where these good reviews are coming from. read more

I visited them today for lunch with a co worker. I am extremely excited to have a healthy, fresh and delicious option close to work. I had the beef steak & steamed veggies and it was so fresh, clean and steak cooked to perfection. I will recommend them to anyone looking to eat clean and healthy. Will be back for sure. Next time I will call ahead and pre-order the detox juice. read more

This is a diamond in the rough...the steak here ranks right up there with the bigger & pretentious names...the owners are beyond friendly...I generally never eat my veggies, but here, even the veggies are delicious... Unfortunately their location is probably not helping them...I really hope these guys do well...love their steak read more

Ahhhhh! It's sooooo good! I got the tofu with noodle and salad and the lentil soup. I will be coming here often.

Great concept, great food & fabulous service! Love the vegetarian choices including the lentil soup, grilled tofu with salad & hummus rolls with with your choice of sauce! read more

Incredible food!!! Kind service and reasonably priced! Healthy, clean food! Don't be fooled by the storefront - this place is great!

I'm so happy to have found this restaurant! I really appreciate the thought put into the healthy ingredients.

Food is always delicious and good for you! They always provide the best service and are so friendly. You can tell the owner really cares and puts forth a lot of effort! Small local gem to the area because there isn't many health conscious places around. I definitely recommend it! read more

Food is fantastic . Love the chicken with veggies and noodles. Just be prepared to spend some time there. It is not fast food. Its amazingly fresh and you feel great afterwards. read more

Healthy, Delicious, Well Priced, Well Portioned. Came for dinner with my wife, was very impressed with the food quality and experience. It wasn't very crowded which is disappointing, because this place is amazing. Will definitely be back. read more
