    Stopped by Ichi Umi Sushi for lunch...ordered avocado roll "to go". My order was ready when I arrived. My avocado roll was delicious! It had fresh pieces of avocado and sharply cut. The brown rice in it's raw unbleached state. I was surcharged $2 for the brown rice. For those rice lovers, brown rice takes longer to cook, which is likely the reason for the upcharge. There were no customers visible from the front. Overall, very chill vibe..

    HINOKAMI KAGURA! After watching the demon slayer infinity castle movie with good ol Daniel Shen (Daniel^2), I was inspired to get more in touch with Japanese culture. What better place to do so than at Ichi Umi Sushi! I came here with Daniel Jung (Daniel^3??) Well, anyways, I almost cried after the first bite. Cried from grief and pain. How could anyone possibly live without having tried the Sashimi bibimbap, or the Nagasaki Champon Udon, or the Chicken Karaage?!? The portions were so amazing, and the flavors brought me flashbacks to the time I was watching tanjiro eat some good noodles in the entertainment district before meeting up with zenitsu and inosuke. After this meal, I can confidently say, I WILL DEFEND JAPANESE CUISINE WITH MY LIFE!!! IT'S MUZAN!!! I WON'T LET YOU GET AWAY! NOT THIS TIME! Service was also amazing!

    Nice sushi spot tucked near the Arboretum/Gateway. It's next to Simar, and kind of hidden from the highway. Quiet ambiance, but delicious sushi. Friendly and quick service on a Wed evening. We ordered the Crimson Baby, spicy salmon and Lucky rolls. Also ordered some uni, A5 Wagyu, king salmon and Otoro to try out. The Wagyu was a touch too done for me, but it was ok. Otoro, uni and king salmon were top notch! It looks like they might have a decent HH as well worth while to check out!

    Food and Service were amazing as always. This time we shared an ahi tower, tempura udon bowl, smoked salmon belly, uni from Japan, and the mango mochi

    Nagasaki Champon Udon
    Nancy N.

    Ichi Umi Sushi was such a pleasant surprise! The ambiance is modern, cozy, and welcoming -- perfect for a relaxed dinner or casual date night. The staff were absolutely wonderful -- super attentive, kind, and made the whole experience feel personal and easygoing. The food was really good and felt like a great deal for the quality. We got the Sake Toro Bento and the Nagasaki Champong Udon. The fish was fresh and nicely presented, and everything came out quickly. A standout for me was the Nagasaki Champong Udon -- it had that deep, satisfying umami broth that beautifully blended the flavors of Japanese udon and Korean seafood jjamppong. Bonus: it had a good amount of seafood and could easily feed two! Overall, Ichi Umi Sushi hits the sweet spot between great food, great service, and great atmosphere. Definitely a spot I'd come back to again.

    Rachel B.

    Consistently good sushi across the multiple dishes that we ordered, including hamachi, o toro, A5 wagyu, kaisen don, and the Mopac roll. The selection and variety of dishes/rolls is great, and the portion sizes/value are decent.

    Kanpaccio
    Blair V.

    Love the dim atmosphere, perfect for date night but not ideal for that perfect foodie shot! Flash camera needed for sure! Service was 100, attentive and friendly. Yum yum roll, spicy tuna and wildflower rolls were a hit for us! The yum yum roll had a nice tropical flavors from the pineapple and mango. Their sashimi is pretty fresh and we love their Waygu Nigiri which is torched and brushed with a hint of sweet sauce. Price point is kind of steep but it's good quality sushi and I would come back again for date night any time!

    My wife and I went back to Ichi Umi Sushi, formerly known as Haru, while visiting family during the holidays and unfortunately it was a disappointing experience. When this place was Haru it was hands down our favorite sushi spot in Austin. We craved it constantly and talked about it even after moving to California. The rolls were always flavorful well balanced and memorable which made this return visit something we were genuinely excited about. Right away the menu felt overwhelming. It used to be simple and now it is extremely long and difficult to navigate. But the bigger issue was the food. We ordered several of our old favorites including the Wildflower, Black Widow, Crush on You, Foxy Lady, and Redwood rolls. The Redwood and Foxy Lady were okay but still not what we remembered. The rolls were noticeably smaller than before and lacked the depth of flavor they once had. The Black Widow, Wildflower, and Crush on You were the biggest letdowns. The sauces and spicy mayo were overpowering and in some bites overly spicy to the point where you could barely taste the fish. The balance that made these rolls special before just was not there. The Wildflower in particular used to be incredible with its mix of mango tuna salmon soybean paper and orange miso sauce. This time it completely fell flat. The Crush on You was inconsistent from bite to bite with either no goat cheese or too much of it dominating the roll. I am not sure if ownership changed or if something else happened but this no longer feels like the Haru we loved. That was honestly the hardest part. This place held a lot of great memories for us and it was disappointing to see such a drop in quality. I hope they can find their way back to what made this spot special because it truly used to be one of the best sushi spots in Austin. Unfortunately this visit just missed the mark for us.

    Chirashi Don
    Katherine H.

    I dream of the chirashi bowl from here, it is THE BOMB. The portion is generous and well worth the price tag and the seafood in it is always super fresh. When I'm in town I make sure to stop at Ichi Umi just for the chirashi bowl at least once. This place is popular but the service is always good and friendly. I've also stopped by for lunch and their lunch specials are also a great deal. Def make a stop here if you're a sushi lover, you won't regret it!

    Nigiri
    Michelle V.

    We stopped by for dinner during the week with some friends for sushi and had a good time! They have a very large menu with options for everyone - not just sushi! My husband and I shared some gyoza and Brussels sprouts - both delicious but the sprouts were much better! We also shared some nigiri - tuna / yellowtail / salmon The nigiri was pretty good but wish the cuts of fish were a little cleaner Service was great - food came out quickly and refilled water and drinks often Plenty of indoor seating and parking available as well - cute indoor decor

    The reviews seemed promising, but slightly fell short. Service was okay, was asked by several people at the host stand if I had been helped then walked away, I requested a booth so I could finish some work, I was sat in their "half booth". The furniture was dark and imposing, with high-backed leather booths and glossy wood tables. Another table was sat after me and got helped before I did, by the time I was asked what I wanted to drink...I knew what I wanted. The Kanpaccio and Sunset Roll as my meal. Kanpaccio is something I would skip, the description sounded so refreshing. Enough to share for a taste, the fish was a healthy slice. The sauce was very strong and overdressed, too sour and needed something that wasn't tart to balance it out. The Fuji apples tasted like ginger. Couldn't taste the garlic chilli oil. Sunset Roll seemed simple enough with salmon, avocado and mango then topped off with more salmon, ikura and miso sauce. I prefer my salmon served pretty cold, this was warm. Could have been from the hot rice used, but again you can see in the photo I started to pick it apart. Was this mango inside?? Came off as pickled radish. Prices listed on menu were not the same as when getting charged.

    Sashimi Bibimbap
    Emily K.

    The sashimi bibimbap was very fresh with such generous portion. Had a hard time finishing it cause it was a lot, but I just couldn't stop gobbling up. Hamachi Toro was amazingly good as well. I'd definitely come back.

    Waygu tartare, Hamachi yellowtail, Maguro yellowtail, Sake Toro
    Wren T.

    Excellent! Great atmosphere. Soft jazz music playing. Warm wood tones decor, nice wine selection. I got theses sushi pieces: Maguro - yellowfin tuna $4 Sake Tori - salmon belly $4 FAV Black garlic sesame oil Hamachi - yellowtail $3.5 Honey Thai chili Wagyu Tartare $5 BEST!!! Omg Sea salt, garlic chip, eel sauce, negi

The intimate, speakeasy setting is such a vibe! Hidden behind a bookcase tucked away in Holey Moley, Chef Saine and his small team bring you an incredible 14-course experience with top-tier ingredients sourced directly from local farmers in Japan. With only 6 seats per session, this is a cozy experience and one I definitely could not recommend more. QUICK FACTS: - Parking? Yes, located in East Austin, there is plenty of street parking. - Reservations can be tricky to land, but you can grab weeknight ones if you're flexible. - Pricing is about $170/person, with the option to add on drinks and extra bites (3 extra for $45/person). Tax and tip not included. My favorite bites were the maguro blue fin (an incredible start to the night!), the buttery Kanpachi amberjack, and the Wagyu ribeye with salted egg yolk (steak and eggs). Everything is stellar, and the Belgium chocolate ice cream finish with a little serenading from Chef is a great way to wrap up the experience. Service is top notch!

Both of the sandos were perfect. The wagyu beef sando had a little bit more flavor but it was slight and both are worth trying. Every roll was enjoyable and I felt like each had a little twist that really made the flavors explosive, like a shaved onion or a crispy puff on the side of the roll. The service was stellar and they were easy to book on OpenTable I also tried the green tea mocktail and found it to be light and refreshing and I was happy that it wasn't super sweet My two favorite items were: 1. The Edamame - which were charred in a way that I feel like I've never experienced it before and had such great flavor. 2. The scallop roll had a thinly sliced shaved truffle on top that made the roll simple yet out of this world. Shout out to the manager who came by just to check in.

I particularly went there on a Wednesday to try their A5 Wagyu sandwich, but because I hadn't been there in so long, I wanted to have all the rolls that sounded so amazing on the happy hour menu that I couldn't even get to the sandwich. Every single role we had was absolutely off the charts. They even had a Toro role on happy hour for $10 which was such a steal. The service and ambience was also as usual impeccable.

So good the chili flavor is nice and has depth to it and not very spicy.

The plum flavor was very distinct. But based on personal preference liked the hamachi more Ora king salmon- 4.7/5- very good the lemon flavor was so nice. The only thing is i felt the nigiris had too much wasabi at the end and the sizes are quite tiny Salmon toro (belly)- 4.7/5- really good. Same as above a little too much wasabi at the end and small size. Like the ora king more Hamachi Apple- 5/5 nice sweetness in the beginning from the apple and then a little bit of spice later on. Really enjoyed this one a lot lighter Kudamono 3/5- the banana is interesting and pleasant in texture but i would say overall compared to the other rolls. Tastes more average and familiar to a typical roll youd get elsewhere Soto 2.0- 5/5 really good had a nice depth of flavor.This and the hamachi were the favorites Uni pasta- 5/5- really enjoyed the depth and flavor. Less on the uni side and more a creamy and thick taste that is really good Risotto- 5/5 - very good and freshly warm
