    Sushi: Salmon, Tuna, Blue Fin, Albacore, Yellow Tail
    Brandon K.

    Across from 99 Ranch near crescent plaza this all you can eat sushi spot was pretty good. Service was great! Went on a Friday afternoon at 12pm, wasn't too busy we got seated immediately. It did start picking up midway thru. I really enjoyed the theme of the restaurant, great atmosphere. Our server was great, very attentive. My girlfriend and I have had a lot of sushi throughout Austin, including over seas in Japan. I would definitely give this place a try. We enjoyed our time, and the speediness of the food after we'd order. The all you can eat lunch menu has quite a bit of options. I do my best to rate a restaurant based on everything so I do give it a 5 star rating! However this is more of a subjective opinion. When it comes to the specialty rolls and the Crudo we chose, I'm not too fond of the Sriracha drops on some of the items we chose. It really takes away from the real flavors I'm seeking. Then again I avoid any roll that has cream cheese simply because I enjoy the actual flavor of the fish and it becomes way over powering. Again this is more of a subjective opinion, I love Sriracha, but just not on my rolls or sushi. I prefer for of a traditional spice with Wasabi. Over all it was a great time and well priced for the all you can eat. I did ask when they get busiest the most and of course it's on the weekends during dinner. There is parking validation, also the first 2 hours of parking in the garage is free! Anyways had a great time, give this place a try if you haven't! And enjoy. I recommend going during the week, and if you go for dinner on the weekends definitely call and make reservations! That's an option. Thanks for the good time!

    Hanami AYCE Sushi is still in their "soft opening" phase but I'm optimistic that they can rise to the top of AYCE sushi places near Austin with some tweaks and improvements. Overall, the quality matches the price and the menu offerings have a good variety but the service and speed can be hit or miss. However, the servers are super friendly, the interior is stunning, and everything was very clean! FAST FACTS: * Parking - a few spots in front of the building but also garage parking nearby with 2 hours of free parking available * Reservations - available online through OpenTable * Online ordering - available for pickup on their website (a la carte only) SERVICE - We arrived at 7:40 pm for an 8:00 pm reservation and were told our table would be available in about 10-15 minutes. We were seated at 8:20 pm (40 minutes after arriving and 20 minutes after our reservation time). Our server was friendly, took our order quickly, and made sure to refill our waters during the meal. Finished plates were cleared from the table efficiently. Non-sushi items came out quickly (gyoza, takoyaki, mini tacos, noodles, etc. took 5-10 minutes after ordering) while sashimi and rolls took much longer (15-20 minutes after ordering). PRICING - The AYCE dinner is $36.95 for adults and includes all of the items on the menu with the exception of some extra charges for additional pieces wagyu, ama ebi, and bluefin tuna beyond the first order. The pricing is incredibly reasonable for the quality of ingredients... especially if you order lots of sashimi or rolls. ORDERING PROCESS - You can order 4 different items per person at a time (mostly due to table space) but multiple pieces of sashimi or nigiri count as a single item. Items come out as they are prepared and ready so I recommend ordering a mixture of appetizers/robata/mini tacos/soup/salad/noodles and sashimi/nigiri/rolls because the sashimi/nigiri/rolls take longer to prepare. FAVORITE ITEMS: * Mini tacos (both the spicy tuna and shrimp were delicious and come on a fried wonton shell) * Volcano roll (it's a lot but the spicy tuna on top with the eel sauce and crunch works well) * Spider roll (if you love soft shell crap, this is for you) * Double shrimp roll (spicy ponzu goes really well with the shrimp) * Ebi nigiri (simple but delicious) * Crab wonton (fried perfectly and super flavorful filling) JUST OKAY ITEMS: * Takoyaki (I love Takoyaki and this was a little too mushy inside) * Gyoza chicken (fried well but not super flavorful) * Yaki udon chicken (good option to order at the beginning if you're super hungry and waiting for sushi rolls) * Unagi sashimi (I love unagi but this was a little too saucy) * Mango tango roll (I enjoy the mango flavor but my husband didn't care for it) * Geisha roll (good mixture of fish but nothing super special) * Mochi ice cream (strawberry was better than the green tea) * Tempura Oreos (delicious but they came out and sat while we finished other items) ITEMS I WOULDN'T ORDER AGAIN: * Baked scallop roll (way too much going on and super messy) * Pineapple beef robata (good char flavor but the beef was tough) This was my first time at Hanami AYCE Sushi and I'll definitely be back to try it again after their soft opening. Compared to other AYCE sushi places, the quality is definitely higher and they have a great variety of menu offerings. If they can get the sushi rolls to come out faster, this will be one of my favorite spots to frequent when I want copious amounts of sushi! (It's worth noting I visited a week after returning from Japan so my standards for sushi were pretty high)

    We recently came to try out the newest AYCE sushi spot in town, but overall left desiring more. Our reservation was at 4PM on a Saturday because we didn't want to interfere with the dinner rush hour. The restaurant did not have a ton of customers yet but the overall service was still relatively slow. They might have been understaffed at the time because our waiter was saying how she just started her shift and walked into chaos lol. We ordered a total of 3 different rounds but every time we were finished with one round, we still did not see the waiter and essentially had to flag her down to put in our next order. Again, she was very friendly but I unfortunately expected more from the overall service. As for the food, I think the sashimi and crudo were some of my favorites! The crudo particularly had a tangy and savory sauce that complimented well with the fish. Their version of a taco was also interesting where the taco shell was made from the same ingredient as the crispy wonton strips you put into salads or egg drop soup. That being said, I did not like the batter that they used for the calamari -- it was too thick and didn't feel crispy enough. The beef short ribs (Galbi) had a nice flavor profile but half of the pieces were essentially fatty meat (and this was consistent because we ordered that dish 3 different times). To end on a positive note though, the price point was 5/5! I believe it was about $37/per person for dinner/weekend pricing for AYCE, which wasn't bad at all! Overall, I'd give this restaurant a 3.5/5 when considering all of the factors from above.

    I love the decor in this place! Our party of 5 was seated earlier than our reservation time which was nice because we were already starving upon already after a long drive. The service was shockingly fast! We were amazed at how quickly our dishes came from ordering to the table. The fish was fresh, flavorful and came out with awesome presentation. However, I do have to shave a star for them being out of several items on the menu especially since we came within the hour that they first opened, on a weekend, and on a holiday that we expected they would have everything available in preparation for the business on this day. Also, parking is free in the structure for the first 2 hours. The system was down briefly while we were trying to exit and we were trapped with several cars trying to leave for about 10mins. Then it started working again out of nowhere. So just be wary of that.

    A new AYCE sushi joint that does not disappoint! Hanami keeps a high quality selection paired with great customer service. The Damon, yellow fish, tuna, and everything else was made to perfection. I'd also recommend a miso soup and some of the crudo options. Only thing we got that was a 4/5 was the Philly roll due to it having a bit too much cream cheese but aside from that everything was close to perfect! Seating and lighting were nice as you can see in my video. Very clean restaurant as well and the parking situation isn't terrible since there's a garage nearby. Overall a solid 4.5/5 but rounding up to 5 since there wasn't anything that would really make me rate it less than that.

    Very nice restaurant. I walked in and it smelled wonderful and you should really come and try this place. Staff is very friendly and efficient. I came here to pick up... did not stay but it definitely looks like a date night kind of restaurant. It's intimate and has fair amount of seating. You should come early and make a reservation. My two plates were tuna rolls and a vegetarian roll. Delicious had its own spice so you don't really need to add much to it. I highly recommend.

    Kevin S.

    Solid, solid AYCE spot. Great ambience, great service, super friendly staff, and solid food! There is plenty to pick from off their AYCE menu: plenty of rolls, plenty of sashimi/nigiri pieces, and all kinds of noodles and meats, etc. absolutely loved it and will definitely be back.

    We got sushi in addition to some other things. Galbi was very well flavored and the tonkatsu was good. Our 4 piece unagi took over 25 minutes and we had our server put it in again. To which it finally came out. When it did, it was fabulous and we ordered 8 more. The other items we ordered all came out in a timely manner. The only weird thing is they have a 4 piece limit (e.g. 1 nigiri counts as 1 piece, so 4 nigiri's at a time, finish that. THEN you can order again. Not as big a deal if you order rolls and apps) Aside from the snafu of our unagi taking a long time, we really enjoyed the experience. The salmon and tuna weren't cut too big or small and tasted great.

    Came here for lunch on a Sunday so I wasn't able to get the lunch AYCE pricing since the lunch pricing is only available on weekdays. However the dinner pricing is still under $40 so a pretty good deal for AYCE sushi. My friend and I were seated right away. Everything we ordered tasted fresh and delicious. My favorite sashimi was the blue fin tuna, yellowtail and tuna. My favorite roll was the monster roll. I only ordered two rolls cause I wanted to have more room to try everything. I would definitely recommend ordering only one roll to start cause the rolls have a ton of rice and comes with 8 pieces. As for the ambiance, I don't know if it's the place or the fact the people at the table next to us were so loud that we can barely hear each other talk. Since we're both pretty hungry, it wasn't too much of a big deal that we can't hear each other.

    I came for the AYCE dinner option on a Wednesday and had a great experience. Not too many diners on a weeknight so we were seated promptly. Our service was great; the servers kept checking in on us and refilling our waters. We paced ourselves and got to try a little bit of everything. The sashimi pieces were excellent! They were very well portioned, fresh, and the presentation was pretty. We also tried other menu items like the galbi, sesame balls, crudo, and robata - all were pretty spot on. I'd say we got our money's worth and more. Definitely one of the better AYCE sushi places in Austin!

    Lunch was $25.95 which is good price for good sashimi and ALL you can eat, except for some upcharges (ama ebi (fresh shrimp), bluefin tuna, and waygu beef sashimi). You can only order 4 items at a time but several of the same is considered 1 item. The sashimi fish was fresh, tender, and tasty - even though unevenly cut. There was a good assortment. Also had the tempura (veggies and shrimp both tasty though would have preferred a lighter batter), robata skewers (onion pork and garlic chicken. Beef was not tasty and tough), crudo (great morsels), handrolls (perfect option from heavier more filling rolls) - like the eel and avocado, salmon skin was a little heavy handed with the skin but tasted good), fried calamari was a miss. They were out of tempura ice cream, green tea ice cream was bizarre (not in a good way) but mochi was fantastic (mango and green tea) Service was fantastic (thank you, Lily), good decor, sound level, etc. Fortunately, we were able to get a parking space, but it might be better to park at the Crescent Shopping Center across Lamar and Airport Blvd. Appreciated that we could share dishes (unlike Sushi Warrior). Didn't have a drink but the options looked good.

    We decided to check out Hanami for dinner and it was truly a great experience. The hostess was extremely welcoming and very friendly. She sat us at our table and took our drink order. The server was quick to come to the table and we started our food order. Everything we ordered was delicious and had a great taste. The Salmon taco was one of my favorites and the wonton shell was amazing. The Mango Tango roll had great pieces and the rolls were big. The monster roll was perfectly fried and wasn't too much batter. It was light and a nice touch. I would highly recommend trying this place if you are looking for a new AYCE sushi restaurant.

    SOOOO good! To be honest, I thought this was a location of a place I knew from Pasadena (Tatsunoya)…read morewhich had similar colors on their branding. But so glad we wandered in here based on great Yelp reviews! DELICOUS miso ramen!! We got the miso not (miso broth) and miso hot tonkotsu ramen (perfect amount of spicy). Cute shop. You order at the front and they have open self seating. Nice interior and we didn't wait long to order or get our food. I could definitely see this place being packed and needing to wait for a seat, but food was fantastic. Little parking lot in the back, or park on the street.

    I have been coming to Ramen Tatsu Ya for years, so this visit was honestly disappointing. I ordered…read morethe Me So Hot ramen, which used to be one of my favorites, but it tastes completely different now, and not in a good way. The bowl was loaded with a ton of lettuce or cabbage and piles of green onions, which totally threw off the balance of the dish. Before, the flavor was rich, deep, and spicy in a satisfying way. This time it felt watered down, overly bulky from the vegetables, and the overall taste just did not resemble what I remember at all. It felt like a completely different recipe. On top of that, the restaurant was dead at lunch, which was surprising for this place. The inside layout and seating have also been changed, and the space feels less cozy and more awkward than before. The whole vibe is just different. I hate writing this because this used to be the OG best ramen spot in town, but it has gone really downhill. Between the recipe change, the overload of greens, and the interior changes, it just was not the same experience. With so many new and better options around Austin now, I will not be returning. Sadly.....Check the last two photos for reference - time/date stamp.

I've gone later, when there is no line, but you are limited in choices. Let's start with the food. You can definitely not go wrong. Every item is beautifully presented and a piece of art, almost too beautiful to eat, ALMOST... I've tried a variety from their sushi combinations and they're all good. I've also tried a few of the sandos and my favorite are the Pork Katsu, lobster, and egg salad. The service is always friendly. It's a small store front and seems like mostly family run, but I could be wrong about this. Often Chef Choo himself is there to help greet people at the door. If you've never been, I highly recommend. Whenever I have an excuse, I definitely stop by to treat myself.

The noodles are a thin yet snappy noodle so it made it easy to eat. I love the corn and mushroom spirals too! Overall, if you come based on this review, make sure to get the chicken paitan dx ramen. There are only 15 served in a day but ask them if they have it because I was able to get one on a Monday night at around 8PM! It's a nice space, good for a date or even a casual hangout. They have tables to accomodate parties of 1, 2, 4, and possibly 6.
