Very disappointing experience. I was sat at the table with my two friends for a girls night dinner. We ordered a bottle of wine and several plates of sushi. 1 hour 20 minutes in we were told that the next table had arrived and we needed to wrap up. The whole evening felt rushed and to subsequently be asked to leave the restaurant especially without finishing our drinks was wildly disappointing. The food is great, I've been twice. However, it's hard to overlook the below average service. Will likely not go back. Takara or Sushi Fever will have my business. read more

Back to Kane but this time, had a omakase experience. This is my second time doing their omakase and it was great! The nigiri pieces were large, almost hard to take in one bite! The service was amazing and all of the staff was very nice and so attentive. Our experience started at 5pm right when they opened and we are STUFFED by 5:45. We had so many courses, I lost count! If you are looking for a chef to tell you a back ground of where everything is from and how it was sourced, this by isn't the place. I'm sure if we had asked, they would tell us but we were happy conversing amongst ourselves. This place continues to be my number one and I love that it's in my neighborhood! read more

It's by reservation only. Unfortunate because I wouldn't mind getting their katsu togo. In my opinion, they have hands down the best of chicken katsu and tonkatsu in Austin. I know it's a sushi place, but I only crave sushi once in a while. They do have good ones of that, too. It's just that there are other places that also serve good sushi. As far as the tonkatsu, though, it's the best in Ausin, but that doesn't mean it's perfect. You can see on the cross section that there are some juicy parts while others are dry. Another area where this dish excels is the rice, lol. This isn't your normal rice you get from Costco. I swear these are the ~$50 for 15lb ones you see at Asian stores. It's short grain, probably because it's a sushi place, but it's also cooked perfectly. Between chicken and pork, I would choose the chicken katsu though. I've had their uni pasta, the stone pot A5 Wagyu and those are also really good. As far as service, they're very attentive. They check up on you, fill your drinks, and accepts requests like "no mayo". Depending on what you order, they may do some service like cook the A5 wagyu or break the sesame for the katsu sauce. Price is high, but worth it I think. Paying is done with a handheld card reader that shows the tip 18% 20% and defaults to 25% (without the tax) that the server sometimes leaves at your table when you're ready. read more

If you are in search of a good sushi spot -- or just Asian -- look no further. Kane is the spot for quality Japanese cuisine, from decadent rolls to savory meat dishes like karaage. Truly, one of the few Asian restaurants in Austin that lives up to the hype. Their most impressive offering is their generous, rich selection of sushi rolls. I forgot the name of the roll we ordered but it was decked out in quality tuna, gold flakes, caviar, and avocados. They do not play when it comes to their rolls. Definitely order at least one if you come to Kane! Fish was fresh and much of their seafood is imported from Japan. The quality is apparent and well worth the price tag. However, if you order their nigiri, beware that it comes with a lot of rice. I got full really fast and it was difficult towards the end to finish everything. If you are not a seafood fan... well, you are lame, but do not fear because Kane has plenty of other menu items. They serve fried rice, karaage (it was alright), and ramen for you picky eaters. To cap the night, I highly recommend their dessert menu. I tried their matcha tiramisu, which was delightful but of course not as delicious as the OG in Kyoto. After eating a lot of salty or savory food, something sweet just hits the spot. Oh! The ambiance was amazing. Huge fan of the warm wooden interior, felt like I was enveloped in a warm hug. I also enjoyed seeing the sushi chefs in action at the bar and would recommend dining there for the most optimal experience. Service was excellent too. I will be coming back again for sure! Next time, I will probably just order their rolls and perhaps try their uni pasta. read more

My husband and I have been to Japan, and we have tried multiple Michelin-starred restaurants there as well as in the US & in Europe. In Austin, we have been to Uchi, Soto, Sushi Moto, Sushi Fever & Tomodachi but Kane has become our go-to sushi restaurant after only trying it once. A 10/10 experience if I've ever seen one. Sushi: We always get omakase when we go here and it is always such a revelatory experience. The fish is so quintessentially fresh, it's actually wild. It's only *slightly* below the quality and freshness of fish we've eaten in Japan (outside of some pieces you straight up can't get outside of Japan), which is saying a lot. Plus, Chef Kane is the master of flavors and I always appreciate the new & innovative dishes he puts forth that challenges the status quo in sushi. Curried blue crab? Smoked hamachi? Ankimo topped with pickled ginger? The flavors are beyond, and I'm obsessed. Service: The service is attentive, especially for omakase. You will be seated facing Chef Kane and can watch him prepare your next dish, which is truly a delight to behold. The Japanese plates, bowls & sake sets they use are absolutely stunning, I'm often left feeling gobsmacked by how gorgeous they are. They are all purchased in Japan (Chef Kane and his family visit Japan every year to see family) and you can tell. Personally, it's a sushi experience you don't often see in Texas. Highly recommend! Atmosphere: One of my favorite parts of Kane is how much it reminded us of sushi restaurants we've been to in Japan. The interior design is visibly inspired by modern Japanese interiors. It's warm, cozy, open and comforting. All that to say, run to Kane. Thank us later. read more

This place truly is some of the best sushi I have ever had. If you love sushi, this is the spot. They offer plenty of other things on the menu (ramen, rice, chicken dishes, etc.), but the fish is where they really shine! For the price, you are given fresh, generous portions. The rolls are gigantic and stuffed with fillings (they do. not. skimp!) and the nigiri is a thick slice of fish on top of a perfect bite of rice. Honestly, best quality and portions - you will leave full! Service was efficient and easygoing. We ran a little late for our reservation but called to let them know, and we had no problem getting seated as soon as we arrived. Overall, it's a bit of a drive since it's technically in Cedar Park, but it was 100% worth it for a date night or just a nicer sushi dinner out. QUICK FACTS: - Reservations? Yes, required. They note they are a "reservation-only" restaurant, and once you see the intimate, small interior, you'll know why. You can try and call once they open to see if they will accept any walk-ins. - Parking? Yes, located in a shared space shopping center with other restaurants. Open parking lot. FOOD RATINGS: - Nigiri (5/5): I selected a variety of hamachi yellowtail, salmon belly, and my favorite, bluefin toro. All of them were delightful. Look how huge the fish was! Perfection. I could have just ordered endless nigiri! - Big Toro roll (5/5): This was by far the BEST roll I have ever had! Literally stuffed with the best tuna, topped with more of it, and the truffle flavor was balanced so nicely without being overwhelming. The rice and fish practically melt in your mouth. - Spicy scallop hand rolls (4/5): Pretty good sized hand rolls. Loved the scallops. They weren't really spicy at all but I enjoyed the flavor! - Spider roll (5/5): This roll was thick. The pieces were almost 2 bites for me. The soft shell crab was cooked perfectly and the rice was so soft and everything went so well together. - Akumi roll (4/5): Our final roll we ordered. Definitely a rich one, as it is deep fried and has cream cheese. Plenty of flavor and almost too much, but it was good! read more

I was really excited to try Kane because I had been seeing videos online about it. I loved how they started of with warm towels to clean our hands. That was a nice touch. The food was really good! The fish tasted super fresh and the rolls had a ton of good flavor. The vibe felt very authentic, and the booths that made it feel like you were sitting on the ground. You do have to make a reservation, which was fine, just remember to do that in advance. However, we had an early reservation and it felt super rushed. The staff kept coming to our table every few minutes even after we said we weren't ready to order. It was like they were in a hurry to get us in and out, which took away from the relaxing experience we were hoping for. Honestly, the food and ambiance were great, but the rushed service was a letdown. I'd still want to go back, but would try a later hour when its a bit busier. read more

I wouldn't go to Kane for nigiri, sashimi or hand rolls. The Nigiri that isn't pictured (uni and salmon belly), came out looking lackluster for being $20 a piece. The Kama-toro sashimi was hard to chew and had thick tendons in the middle. Moreover, the seaweed for the hand rolls was stale and poor quality. Their sushi is not bad or of bad quality by any means. However, their takes on nigiri are very normal and the price does not reflect the food itself. The rolls and Japanese food on the other hand are very good. Their big toro roll wowed us and the uni pasta was carried out very well. I would go here to eat their Japanese dishes, but would not recommend their sushi for those who are familiar with good sushi restaurants. read more

This visit was a miss but I suspect my experience isn't typical. We went for a special dinner to celebrate and my partner ordered multiple hand rolls and I ordered a few nigiri and the big tuna roll. The hand rolls came out first so it was a little bit awkward that I had no food and my dining companion finished her dinner before my Sushi arrived. The nigiri were good but not as generous as some of the reviews led me to believe. I wasn't overly impressed considering the price. My mega tuna roll was very substantial and included lots of fatty tuna. I don't think this is the tuna for me but that is more of a personal choice - nothing on Kane. My parter loved their Santa Barbara Uni. So this is where the night took a turn. Our waiter pretty much avoided us for the rest of the evening. I wanted to order another drink since I was celebrating and possibly more sushi or dessert. It got so bad that we plain ran out of water. I felt bad for our waiter since he seemed to firmly stuck in the weeds but he also was an expert at avoiding eye contact. At the end we asked another team member for water and to ask our waiter for the check. It was still slow to arrive. Then he never came back to run my card so I eventually paid using the toast app - even though it wasn't a CC I wanted to use.. There is a section on the reservation app where they ask if this is a special occasion. I filled this in but apparently this info wasn't shared or acknowledged. The interior of Kane is nicely done and i think the sushi bar would be a better choice if you go. Many other diners appeared to be very happy. read more

We booked KANE's omakase to celebrate Chinese New Year and it was fantastic all around! The head chef exclusively makes the courses for you and you get to learn so much from him because of it. Getting the chef's full and undivided attention is an incredible experience. They fly in their seafood from Japan on Wednesdays and Saturdays and it's some of the most fresh sushi I've ever gotten to eat. Not fishy at all. I won't post all of the courses we ate (spoiler alert!) but these are some of the bites we had. The amount of uni, caviar, truffle, and gold foil we had that night was luxurious. The portion size is very generous and as others have said, come hungry! You are asked to eat each piece with your hands - the traditional Japanese way - and you're also requested to try and eat it in one bite. I was shy about this at first, but after a few tries, I came to appreciate the way all the flavors came together that was only possible if eaten in a single bite. The waiters replace your hot hand towels frequently so there's no issue with hands getting dirty. The restaurant is reservation only and you'll be amazed by how packed it gets, which is really a testament to their quality. I can't wait to come back to try their other dishes! read more

The quality here is chef's kiss! We made reservations ahead of time and were promptly seated at the bar, which is always my favorite seat in the house as I get a closeup of all the magic. We intended to do damage so we ordered a good variety of dishes along with a bottle of sake to wash it all down. Starting off with the hamachi crudo, it was so fresh tasting and well balanced in flavor and texture with the citrus, sesame oil, and fried shallots. The salmon belly nigiri was fatty and silky with the salty flavors of the roe lingering after the bite. Didn't even use soy sauce for fear muting the flavor. The unagi was a delicious as you'd expect. The otoro was the star though! It was a melt in your mouth experience. We also ordered the MT makimono, which was huge! Unfortunately, it was doused in a spicy mayo sauce, which was too overwhelming. Would definitely skip the rolls next time. The uni pasta was creamy and rich. The smell itself was so tantalizing and the portion is more than enough for two people. The tonkatsu was crispy and came with miso soup, salad with two different dressings, and sesame seeds you crush. This was extremely filling and took away from the full sushi experience. Our mistake, but it felt very out of place. Personally, I'd just focus on the seafood next time. I orginally wanted the salmon ozisushi, but they were unable to make it as they were reserving their salmon for the omakases (which you reserve ahead of time!). We ended ordering the saba mackerel one to try out. The sushi rice was really flavorful; it was layered with nori and mackerel. It was hard to tear apart the mackerel to eat each piece in 2 bites, but I enjoyed eating it in this format. You can see a theme here that the portions are very good and because of that, prices are very reasonable. Truly a bang for your buck. The clean, wooden aesthetic of the restaurant was also a draw for me. I loved using the wooden plates at the sushi bar. Service was attentive and there was plenty of parking. This is definitely a place worth splurging on. read more

I recently visited Kane with my wife. Food, atmosphere, and service unequaled. The finest Japanese restaurant we know.

Wow, the nigiri here was so fresh and yummy! The price is pretty good for the size of the fish. I ordered two pieces of nigiri and one handroll and was full. It's really filling but so good. Definitely one of the best sushi places I've been to in Austin. I want to come back and try the tonkatsu since I've heard great things about it. The service is really great too and there's plenty of parking. You have to make a reservation. read more

Kane sushi - Salmon belly and yellowtail - Japanese Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

Wow! If you love sushi, you must check out Kane. It's very small, reservations only. The wood paneling and divided table booths make it feel very cozy and traditional. About half the space is taken up by the sushi chef station and there are a few limited seats in front of the chefs. This isn't a place to go for a quick sushi fix. This is a place to go for an evening of dining on sushi. The food is incredible. There is something about elevated sushi that defies words. Everything we had was amazing, but there are a few must haves. You must try the KT Special as well as the Bluefin O-Toro Nigiri. I would go far as to say they are mandatory eating. We also greatly enjoyed the Spicy Tuna Shiso Tempura app and the three rolls we ordered: the Volcano Roll, the Spicy Tataki roll, and the Lion King Roll (which is served Aburi style-aka it gets a blowtorch treatment before being served. Kane is definitely the best sushi and sushi experience we have had in Texas! read more

Heard many good things about the grand opening of Kane, so we had to try it out for ourselves. At first, I was skeptical with it being all the way up north, and in a shopping plaza. However, much to our surprise, the interior design definitely wow'ed us. I really appreciate the subtle details, from seating to the silverware, plates, and dining set. We got seated right at the sushi bar which was great because we could watch the chefs work, and interact with them. We ordered a bit of everything, and first started off with the uni pasta with truffles. Lucky enough, it was the last serving for the night and so I was super stoked. The presentation was on point and the portion was so generous. The pasta was as expected, so rich, creamy and filling. If you plan on ordering this, make sure to have it come last because I was so full after I ate half of the dish. We then tried the hamachi and salmon belly, and the portion once again was overly generous. My partner got his unagi nigiri and although it was good, he did wish it was more charred and torched. The crane then arrived and by this rate, I was stuffed. However, the crane was so good. The yellowtail was extremely fresh and the tuna melted in your mouth with every bite. We then wrapped it up with hand rolls, and the the spicy tuna and masago ended up being my favorite! Overall, I'd give Kane a 4.5! I would say they are definitely a bang for your buck, and not a bust! The fish quality was top notch, and I didn't taste the fishyness. Although the presentation could be a bit more refined in some areas, they are the only good quality sushi place I've been to where we didn't leave hungry. We actually left full and so satisfied. Service was good, the chefs were so sweet and waitresses as well. The ambience did remind me of Japan- intimate, warm, and cozy. I would recommend for the bathroom to match with the theme but if not, it's not the end of the world. Honestly, this place and its location exceeded our expectations. We truly hope it continues to do well, and be the start of good quality dining/beautiful ambiance in north of Austin. One last say, make sure you RSVP online. Due to limited space and their recent opening, they do not accept walk in's as of this moment. read more

In an inconspicuous location in a strip mall is a gem of a high end Japanese restaurant. The interior is well decorated of simple wooden/industrial motifs. Everything looks classy without pretentiousness. We had the 15 omakase course (required reservation ahead of time), for which you sit at the bar with the chef deciding your sushi courses and making the sushi in front of you. The experience was wonderful as he was attentive to every detail of your food. The sushi pieces were huge (you are supposed to eat in one bite) and super fresh; they melt in your mouth with beautiful flavors. In between sushi there were also oysters, scallops, and shrimp. The desserts were also made in house and delicious. The staff were nice and polite, and very helpful. The overall experience was great but it wasn't cheap. Individuals more knowledgeable of Japanese food and appreciate quality would likely love the experience. If California roll is more your speed, this place might not be for you unless you are willing to expand your plate. read more

Kane Sushi in Cedar Park is our favorite spot north of Austin. We go there at least once a month, and it never disappoints! The dragon roll, big toro, and yuki roll are absolute favorites.

The head sushi chef is so friendly and always comes to talk to us when we visit. The place is reservations only and so worth it! read more

I dined here recently for my birthday. My partner made a reservation for dinner (apparently they only take reservations so make sure to book in advance!). We got in and they seated us immediately at the bar (all the tables were already taken). It's a fairly small and intimate restaurant, but I didn't mind sitting at the bar. The staff were very friendly. I chose various kinds of sushi, sashimi to try. All of which were delicious! Their volcano roll is one of the most popular items, all for good reasons as it had so many flavors. The wagyu is *chef's kiss... That sear, I mean, you'll have to see for yourself since I can't seem to put that deliciousness into words, but the meat was very tender. I would've loved to try their omakase but you'd have to book that in advance as well. Next time! read more

This is by far the best sushi I've eaten in Texas. Heck maybe anywhere. The sushi bar is set up so that the glass case that holds the fish is non existent. The fish is kept below the counter so that they can make it in front of you. The decor is beautiful and well thought out. I was greeted by the owner when we came in and later realized he was one of the sushi chefs. It doesn't get any better web the owner is involved in every stage of the dinning experience. The pieces of sushi are huge and very fresh. Service? Omg. These people really make you feel welcome. They explain all of the stages of your dining experience and provide you with a hot towel as soon as you are seated. They have only fresh high quality fish unlike most sushi joints that serve you precut frozen, low quality fish. I will says it's a little more expensive than most sushi places but I promise you won't be disappointed. Go to this place NOW!!! read more

Reservations are required since the restaurant is intimate with only about 10 tables and a bar. We were sat at the bar and really enjoyed the experience of watching the sushi chefs in front of us make everyone's food. Please be patient with the staff since they are a new establishment and are still learning how to efficiently run their business. As they say, good things come with time. We talked to Lisa and the sushi chef who the married couple that own the restaurant, they were very kind and told us that they order a good amount of the fish from Japan. I highly recommend this restaurant if you like sushi. read more

Ambience great; service excellent. Food mid to good. We still recommend to try at least once since it's affordable. This is what we got from $136 subtotal. Big Toro Roll ($28) Uni Pasta ($28) 2 x Albacore Nigiri 2 x King Salmon Nigiri 2 x O Toro Nigiri 2 x A5 Wagyu Nigiri Sake (free) So they use expensive toppings like truffle, caviar, gold leaf, saffron and uni, so it's great bang for the buck for certain. Despite all the bells and whistles of having recognizably expensive ingredients in a beautiful restaurant, I felt that they sacrificed having these things for the quality of refined sushi itself. We sat at the sushi bar and was able to see technique itself. Perhaps they were Chinese, as they did things differently than Japanese sushi chefs. For example, the rice was crushed in versus formed with two fingers knife cuts were jagged on the fish. These small things, at least for us was noticable. Especially the small bone that was found. We let them know. The size of the nigiris were too large for me and some were too stringy for me to enjoy. It would take me two or three bites to finish a nigiri. With that said, the extra fatty tuna (otoro) surprisingly was stringiness one! I had to do a muckbang eating procedure to stuff it in my mouth, because I didn't want to pull it out with my fingers and cause a scene. Maybe it was the wrong cut; maybe it was bad luck but it was the first piece I had and most subsequent order was similar, except for the A5 Wagyu nigiri, which was very melt in the mouth. King Salmon and StipJack were not remarkable. Uni pasta, although I thought was good, I had to salt it with soy sauce for some flavor. We may come back again for another chance but this what I concluded after my first visit. Again still recommend and will try because others have better reviews. We will probably try their hot dishes instead though they were so largely portioned and looks great. read more

The nigiri and rolls here were orgasmic!! It's rare to find a place that has good quality of both. The pricing was reasonable too. My favorite nigiri is the Otoro, it was so fatty and melted in your mouth. The sushi rolls had a bit more rice than I'd like but the flavors were so good, I wasn't too bothered by the proportion. I also loved the eel and cream cheese roll that I got. Uni pasta was okay, very pricey for tasting somewhat mid. It could've been a little more flavorful. Very good service. We made reservations before hand and were quickly seated. Good also came out fast despite them being pretty busy. Beautiful ambiance. Perfect for a date night. We actually celebrated our anniversary here! read more

This is one of my favorite spots for Sushi in Austin/Cedar Park proper. The sushi is extremely fresh and the portions are super generous. Of all of the bites - I loved the salmon and the madai (sea bream) nigiri the best. I also think the KT Special is my favorite thing on the menu - I wouldn't have ordered it but I saw it being prepared and I'm so happy I found it bc it reminds me of my favorite dish at a sushi spot in another state but this one is better. Oh and the layered crepe dessert was so incredible my gosh - I say the matcha tiramisu go bye and I am still glad I ordered the crepe to end my meal instead. I love the interior of this restaurant as well. The environment is very simple and quaint and the seating is great and it feels very authentic. I love sitting at the sushi bar as well it's honestly great service to sit there and watch the sushi being made! I will be a consistent customer here! I'm looking forward to trying the omakase offered here in the future - it LOOKs amazing and I'm excited to report back. Anyways - I'm so thankful for KANE it's a true hidden gem in this area and it's top of my list to eat at when I am looking for quality high grade sushi and a generally great experience out. read more

My wife and I celebrated our 13 year anniversary here on 11/14/25. This was our second year (back to back) celebrating at Kane. I wish I could say that we would be returning next year. We ordered several different rolls(Big Toro x2, spicy Akami, and another) that tasted great, and the service was considerably faster than last year, a great improvement. What was not great... a large piece of broken glass that I found in my Big Toro roll. I immediately notified my waiter, who apparently called the owner, and their idea of making it right was to comp the two rolls, and remake them, and then offer a free desert. I accepted this at the time because I didn't want to ruin the evening with my wife, but I was quite shocked when they didn't simply comp the whole meal. They acknowledged that a dish broke and that's how's the glass got into the roll, but it was clear there wasn't really concern with HOW the food was still being served in a contaminated state. Shouldn't the whole batch of serving platters have been thrown out? We ate the "fresh" roles assuming that the food being served was actually safe this time, but we were both past the phase of being impressed. It was truly disappointing. I'm not the owner of a restaurant, so maybe I just don't understand the ins and outs of customer service, but as I lay here trying to determine whether I may have ingested chunks of glass on Friday, due to some stomach pains I'm having, I just can't help but think they must be more concerned with the $60 dollars they lost comping the rolls than they are with their customers returning. For my sake, I hope their unsafe kitchen habits don't end up costing them tens of thousands on my hospital bills. I wouldn't mind reviewing camera footage of the "cleanup" or lacktherof that was done after the dish broke. read more

What I'm about to say may seem like spam but it's not. And it may not be useful for everyone given how everyone's taste buds vary. That said... For me, this is the best place to eat in all of the Austin area. I've been here twice and even though I tried different plates that could give me a mixed experience, all of it was good. They have regular two-person tables as well as a bar area. But I was able to sit in their booths where it felt like I was sitting lower than the ground which added to the experience. Food wise, sushi is often good everywhere but there are few that actually separate themselves from others. This is one of those places. I'd go into more detail but just trust me, a random stranger, on this. It's the best place to eat in all of Austin for me. read more

We have been here twice already so I figured that it's about time I write a review, as I quite often still even think about going back. The first time was when I took my boyfriend here for his birthday. Unfortunately I didn't realize how busy Kane is at times and didn't make a reservation. The staff was extremely helpful in my dilemma however and made space for us to enjoy our night to make sure we had a place to celebrate at. We sat at the sushi bar which was a cool and authentic experience, they were torching fish with fire, so also entertaining! Second visit we took a friend that was visiting around gis birthday so we took him here to celebrate; this time it was a different experience. We sat at a table which was cozy and intimate, our server was adorable and helpful when it came to understanding the cuts of fish and dishes. Needless to say, we all love this place and would enjoy it over and over again. From the food, to the service, to the atmosphere. Arigato! read more

Reservation only, with a maximum of 6. The pieces here were HUGE. Their nigiri compared to other places are probably double the size. The uni pasta was buttery but didn't feel heavy at all. Tonkatsu was fried perfectly, very moist. The tonkatsu sauce is a little strong so make sure you add it to the sesame seeds, but make sure you don't add too much. Although there is an extra charge, I recommend you get the uni soy sauce, it definitely changes things up! read more

"After reading some overwhelmingly positive reviews and being enticed by the restaurant's appealing decor, we decided to give it a try. However, our experience left us far from satisfied. The Ankimo (fish liver) was as hard as a rock, and the accompanying sauce was bland. On the bright side, the sushi was exceptionally fresh. The real disappointment came with the Waygu fried rice. To our dismay, it turned out to be more of a culinary joke than a dish. We dug through it in hopes of finding any Waygu beef meats , but all we found were chunks of fat. You can see the evidence in the picture we took. While we were sharing our honest thoughts about the meal, a middle-aged waitress with curly hair passed by and inquired about our dining experience. We didn't hold back and told her it wasn't very good, primarily due to the absence of Waygu meat in the rice. Much to our surprise, she retorted rapidly, exclaiming, "That's what Waygu is like, right?!" She then promptly walked away, seemingly to avoid any further conversation.   We had waygu all the time , and we know what waygu is like. Her statement only shows how incompetent she is. Why ask customers how they like their food when you don't give a damn about how their feedback ? Never will I recommend this restaurant, its food and service certainly doesn't add up to their pricey menu with at par quality of food. read more

Kane sushi - Heart attack fats - Japanese Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

Disclaimer: not a review on the food, more on the reservation intake. Twice, we had to wait nearly 25 mins after our reservation time to be seated. Understand that one long table can upset the timing of the subsequent reservations, but it would have been nice to get a courtesy call from the restaurant to let us know that we'll be seated at a later time. Update: ended up leaving the restaurant because no one took our order 15 mins after being seated. Total time of waiting, 40 mins. I can wait, but this is kinda absurd. Totally yucked my yum. read more

This place is worth the drive and toll fare. It's become my new favorite sushi restaurant in Austin. It's such a cute, quaint restaurant with its traditional Japanese wooden interior. I believe this is the best sushi in town. They also deliver top service. I couldn't recommend this place more. Can't wait to try their omakase and uni pasta. read more

Very fresh fish in a cozy restaurant! I loved the decor, very minimal and intimate, and the sushi bar is fun since you can watch the chefs make the food and use the blowtorch! We also sat next to the area where guests were eating their omakase meal, so I got a sneak peak at the variety of dishes they had (seemed pretty similar to what we were ordering plus nicer items like oyster and uni). The menu was extensive with a range of hot dishes and sushi. We opted for mainly nigiri, and they also have some options for fresh fish from Tsukiji on the chalkboard by the bar. Service was slow, and we waited almost an hour for our food to arrive because they were prioritizing finishing orders for a couple of the larger tables, but once the food arrived we enjoyed the experience. Nigiri pieces were fresh. The big toro roll seemed popular, and it was definitely filling! I liked the truffle oil on top, although it does take away from the fish flavor. The matcha tiramisu was good, but I wish there was more of the matcha soaked ladyfingers, it was just a thin layer at the bottom with most of the box being the cream. read more
