All amazing! Timing and tempo could have been better. My meal came out around 5-10 minutes after my dates meal. His was cold by the time mine came. We were done with our meals for quite a while before the server checked on us about dessert. We were told we only had 3 minutes to order dessert which was a bit off putting considering we had been ready to order at least 15 minutes prior. We got our dessert shortly before 10, and at 10:02 the house lights came on glaringly bright - aka time to get out. We hadn't even gotten our check yet. Overall the back end of the night felt rushed which put a damper on the experience. I would come back maybe during social hour or earlier in the day.

Other than that it's pretty much self service unless you're there for drinks as well. I will say the Asian aspect of the fusion leaves a little to be desired, as in a majority of the dishes just contain some sort of ponzu or yuzu marinade, not that it's a bad thing just wanted more. The miso mustard flavor on the potatoes is a really good combination and was hoping for more flavor fusion in that realm. But as a smokehouse it is a really solid choice. Overall, a really good place to dine!

I would never leave a five star review only off of ambiance... The food here is absolutely AMAZING! Best soup dumplings in the US, period. I hate to think people will assume I am overselling, but the truffle fried rice is also a 10/10; it's cooked perfectly every time. The vast majority of the dishes are delicious and surprising; from Har Gow, to Beef chow fun, and sea cucumber dumplings. All this to say, Qi is in my top 3 Asian restaurants in Austin. And I have been to MANY. The only thing I don't absolutely love is the service, all of the waiters are friendly though. The last time I was there, they brought out a fun dessert tasting plate for a birthday, which was definitely an unexpected highlight!

Sat at the sushi bar and for a Thursday night was pretty quiet. There were four chefs and sitting at the sushi bar you got to see the goodies as they were made. Austyn was the person who took care of me and they were wonderful. Very polite and provided great recommendations for the night. Got the sake flight and all three I'd get again. Started with the Barbacoa dumplings....ummmm amazing, soooo flavorful. Next up was the Brussels sprouts and y'all those left with the bowl empty. The only rec I gave Austyn was to tell peeps to stir them to get all the sauce goodness mixed in. Didn't realize there was a sauce until the end soooo that would have probably made me lick the bowl! Also got the Toro fig and I'm not gonna lie I was shocked. Never thought pairing fig with tuna would be good, again rec I gave was to give a spoon so you could sip all that sauce goodness!!! Last on my dining journey was the Prime Market Nigiri Moriawase. This was the chefs choice of five nigiri pieces and they again were delicious. The downside was the omakase was for 2 people, portion size sooo I need to find a plus one, any takers?! I'd go back to try other items and get a few of the same.

There was something else on the menu we tried...just can't recall. Did the banana pudding for dessert and had a different take on it with I believe a bit of Matcha in there. I'd love to go back to try a few other items.

I specifically requested my most favorite server, Yoshi as our waiter, but sadly they couldn't make that happen because he was working the outside dining area. He still managed to swing by and check on us a few times, and that was enough to make the night better. Yoshi is just THAT guy. He makes dining here ridiculously fun and somehow makes an already great experience even better. The music and drinks were on point. The Puff Puff Pass was the cocktail winner of the night, followed by some really good whiskey. Then came the food, and damn... Kemuri does not mess around. We shared everything and ordered in waves, starting with Bluefin Tuna Carpaccio, Charred Edamame and Taiyaki Cornbread. Next up was the Chili Cheese Takoyaki, Wagyu Short Rib Skewer and Hot Pocketz. Every single thing was delicious, and flavorful. Somehow we still found room for the delicious banana pudding. Great food, great drinks, great friends and Yoshi popping in to keep the party going. Pretty hard to beat a night like that. Kemuri Tatsu Ya continues to be our favorite!

Everything tastes the EXACT same every single visit, which I feel like is such a rare quality for a restaurant to execute this well. The bento box is hands down the best thing on the menu! It's customizable, and my go-to order is miso soup, the dragon roll with yellowtail, potstickers, fried rice, and the wok-sautéed vegetables. I cannot emphasize enough how good the vegetables are. They're genuinely some of the best I've ever had, and I actually crave them. We also tried the marinated yellowtail sushi taco, and it was GAS. The fish tasted incredibly fresh, the flavors were amazing, and the texture was perfect. The taco was huge and absolutely packed with fish. My husband and I shared one alongside our bento boxes and were beyond full. I know Muse went viral for their sushi tacos, and they're absolutely worth the hype, but I really think the bento box is the star of the show. My recommendation is to get the bento box and add a sushi taco on the side! The atmosphere is extremely casual, with counter service and open seating, which makes it a great spot for an easy, laid-back meal. Service has been good every time, and the pricing is incredibly fair considering the quality of the food and how generous the portions are. It's rare to find a place that's this consistently good, especially at such a reasonable price point. Three visits in, and Muse hasn't missed once!

I ordered the spicy tuna, carne asada, and tuna fish tacos! My favorites were all three! I can not choose. They are huge; they are packed from top to bottom. It's not a flimsy taco. It's a hard shell, thick and fried, with seasoning covering the outside. When the gurus say crunchy, it's crunchy. With the first bite, you immediately taste how good the shell is. Then, your bite goes deeper into the flavors: meat, fresh veggies, sauces, and rice. I started with the tender, seasoned carne asada. It was good, flavorful! I was full by then, but I had to bite into the tuna, which led me to devour the whole thing. Of course, I was stuffed, so I took the spicy tuna to go. You can order just one, but I recommend trying two or three. Yes, you will have to take the other two home. Or just one home like me! I think the shell is the stealer of the show! Yes, what's inside the shell is very good! But the shell is the best! Now, the menu has bowls, noodles, rolls, and more, and I can't wait to try them! Yes, it's busy, but the inside has plenty of seating. It's cute in there with the soft blues and yellows. It makes for a very relaxing lunch!
