    I was looking everywhere in Austin for a good weekday night All you can eat sushi buffet. We've been to almost every sushi place in town and I've noticed a big difference in weekend quality versus weekday night quality and have been disappointed before. Hence I was asking around even on another Austin food page to inquire where is a good weeknight spot for dinner and there were many mixed reviews until a fellow foodie friend reached out and told me why don't you try the new Machi sushi in Georgetown? I saw pictures of them eating there and they liked it a lot so I was excited to try it. They had a good experience at their soft opening and told us to try it so four of us went there for a belated b-day celebration and we were so excited. It's a bit far away up in Georgetown, but it was a nice scenic drive a little bit of traffic, fun shopping area to walk around which we did afterwards. When we got there we went inside and was so excited cause it's so pretty. It's such a pretty place and it kind of busy so that was a good sign. We sat down with the menu. The girl took our order and what we noticed right away is how untrained and unprofessional she was even though she was really sweet. So young lol She was very new and we gave her grace because we know this place just opened several days ago. I wish I could rate it higher, but I decided to give it three stars so that maybe they can work out some kinks before they fully open so that they will be more prepared and more people will come. It wasn't a bad experience per se. I've had worse not in Austin surprisingly but in Dallas where we recently tried a new sushi place. That was really bad bc the fish quality was bad and the rice was hard so it wasn't like that here and we enjoyed ourselves, but here is my take on the things that I didn't like~ the yellowtail, red snapper and even the tuna was not that great. I've been to many sushi places and sushi and good cuts of it should not be stringy it should be fresh. It should be not too fishy, and these three did not hit the spot. The salmon on the other hand was really good. I even got the sashimi and hand roll to try and it was really good so I was very happy with that. The surf clam also was very good. The octopus was OK for a few pieces but the second and third pieces wasn't so consistency to me matters, I didn't get it anymore. The miso soup tasted like dish water idk why. The rainbow roll and the spider roll was good so they got the rolls right I think even though the spider roll wasn't facing the right way lol However, the star of my whole dinner was the fried banana and the fried age tofu and that's kind of sad for a sushi place but those two things were really good. Everything else was meh and the calamari and the tempura was fine but the chicken wings were too big lol plus the funny thing is the shrimp tempura look at my pictures-They placed one in each dish so we had a pile of dishes and they kept doing that for even the sushi one piece on a huge dish so we had a pile of dishes big dishes. Another thing I know she's new but our waitress we kind of chuckled because she was very flustered. She flat right told us that she was so busy so tired and a little bit tired of the food seeing the food every day already and that she was serving multiple big tables. She got our orders wrong in and some never came out. She had to hand type each order like hand type and spell each one and she was having a hard time working the ordering pad so she missed some things. We had to re-order some things and some didn't come out so we got someone else's food, things like that. I'm sure that could be fixed in time since this is all new. She was funny in a way when I asked for recommendations she gave me a very blunt answer to not get this item because it wasn't good. I chuckled because she at least is honest, but I don't think that's something restaurant owners like them to say. The price point wasn't bad for all you can eat cause most sushi places are around $39 at night. There was only one place Kyoka that was $32 but I heard that place wasn't that great so we didn't go to that one so for the price point at $36 it wasn't bad but I did expect more. Must have fresher better quality fish. All the other things are fixable too plus they just opened anyway but yes, better quality fish would be good for the long run and just for better customer service more professionalism otherwise the place is real pretty like I said and I know they're trying and I know it's a very young staff so I have high hopes that it'll get better.

    I wanted this place to work out so badly however it just was NOT it...we drove 30 minutes to try this place on a Friday evening, just a table of two. The sever kept taking a long time to return to our table for drinks and also kept forgetting my partner's rolls not once but twice. I had finished dinner by the time my partner started his...As far as the vibe, very casual and family atmosphere. For the price we paid for the AYCE, it was absolutely not worth it. Food was mid.

    Amazing food

    Stopped by for early dinner and surprised they were not busy(yet). Soft opening so give them a chance to figure things out. Rolls are decent and don't sleep on the pepper tuna nigiri. Overall good experience will be back.

    Loved checking out this new AYCE spot in Georgetown! Staff and vibes were wonderful, food was amazing! Prices were good, the menu offered a lot of options so it was hard choosing. Alcohol wise sake and margs were good just a little on the pricey side for size. We wanted to start with some appetizers and personally I was not a huge fan of the baked green mussels they had too much mayo, were tough, and very cold. My grandma and aunt got the udon and gyoza they loved both. I had the hamachi chili and seaweed salad to start. If you like a little spice and not bothered by raw fish definitely try the hamachi chili. All of the sashimi that we tried were 10/10 ! Sadly I forgot to take pics of so many plates but the pepper tuna was amazing, first time trying it loved it so much I ordered the skinny girl roll that was topped with it! My grandma got the cowboy roll and said it was delicious with the seared steak on top, kiss of fire roll and spicy tuna rolls were both very delicious as well. We will definitely be back again and hopefully they'll have the milk tea by then. Overall everything was great from service to food

    Visited Machi Sushi twice so far & will visit again in the future. Modern eclectic hip-Asian decor yet family friendly, spacey, clean, and lots of tables. Warm, welcoming staff and great food choices. For the soft opening, we had the all-you-can-eat, which is a great deal if you are hungry & time for a variety of choices (tons). For the grand opening, we tried the bento boxes, which are wonderful value choices if you don't want to over-eat LOL.

No oyster options, they had Texas east coast farmed which were ok, not too large or small with a sweetness. The ceviche was missing something so I added salt and that did the trick but the accompanying chips were . They had no flavor and a stale consistency ‍ maybe that was the intent. The crab claws were a little fishy and had way too much broth but overall weren't bad, maybe 3/5. For entrees I decided to go smash burger and fried shrimp/oyster basket. Smash burger was well prepared, I swapped fries with broccolini. The fried seafood was a miss. The batter was similar to an unseasoned tempura and the hush puppies were very doughy, that dish is a pass. I'd return but will stick with appetizers or the burger but if I'm craving seafood there definitely are better options even if that means going outside of Georgetown.

That hint of chocolate bitterness sneaking in like it has secrets it's not ready to share.
