I know this place for many years, I like their lunch menu options, quality and prices. The service is always nice and professional. I usually get bento and extra sashimi. It comes with tasty miso and side salad. It is located in a convenient location. They are very consistent and I appreciate the fact. They actually make a very good good tempura. Not greasy and light.

09-19-2025 We came to Austin to visit our brother. He recommended this place for a lunch gathering. Glad he did; everyone in our party enjoyed what he/she ordered. The food was extra delicious due to Saki's attentiveness and superb service! I look forward to dining here again the next time am in town. Ordered: -Grilled Salmon Bento $16.90 -Tonkatsu Bento $15.90 -Broiled Red Snapper Bento $15.90 -Beef Yakisoba Bento $16.90 -Rainbow Roll Combo $17.90 -Sushi & Sasmi Combo $18.90 -Green Tea $5 -Salmon Roll $12 Thanks Saki for suggesting the Rainbow Roll Combo! It was the perfect choice for me : )

Deluxe sushi combination
Briana N.

My friend and I came on a Monday evening a little before 6, and I think we were the only ones in the restaurant, so it doesn't get too busy too fast on weekdays. But we were quickly sat and the servers were super attentive and friendly. We ordered the deluxe sushi combination to share among two people, which was kind of the perfect amount. We were really full st the end and had some pieced left over, but I don't think it would be enough for three people. The miso soup was so delicious. It wasn't too salty and it was the perfect thing to start the meal with. And the ginger salad was pretty good. But the ginger dressing was more watery than im used to. The nigiri was really good. They give decent sized pieces of fish on top of decent amounts of rice. You can tell the fish is of decent quality, but it's also not the best I've had. Like it isn't as buttery as top quality fish. But it's still really good, especially for the price. The rainbow roll was pretty decent. Its like a California roll but with some fish on top. And the Marilyn Monroe was decent. It was pretty big in terms of size, but I feel like the spicy tuna kind of had a bitter aftertaste. Overall this is a nice spot for a more casual type of sushi meal. It got to a point where the servers where checking on us a little too much though. Like we would constantly have to stop mid conversation to assure the servers everything was tasty and that we didn't need anything else. But I guess I prefer that over not being checked on at all. But yeah def wanna try some of their other food like their yakisoba or katsu next time.

Tried a selection of sushi and got a roll. Decent sushi with a decent rice to fish ratio on the nigiri. Nothing fancy but decent sushi.

Love these private booths

Midori Sushi is located a good 20-30 minutes from downtown Austin, but it turned out to be an excellent lunch for us. It's located in a strip mall and looks nondescript from the outside. Inside, its a large restaurant with cool private wooden booths, conventional tables, and a few Horigotatsu tables where you dine on a recesses table and rest your feet on a shallow pit. Its also very close to Austin Aquarium and Indigo Indoor Playground. The menu is huge and the portions are very generous and top quality too. * Kid's Teriyaki Bento came with Cali Roll, rice, and a tempura shrimp, served in a ceramic boat. * I got the Nigiri combo - 8 pieces of fresh nigiri and they include a full Rainbow Roll, where most places offer cheaper Cali or Spicy Tuna Rolls. * Salmon Bento was similarly huge - 2 nigiri, some Cali Rolls, and some Tuna Maki with sauce. You can tell this place is generous with throwing in sushi for the sides. Service was friendly as well. Definitely recommend and worth the drive from downtown Austin, even if you have no plans to visit Austin Aquarium.

Salad
Sarah M.

Went here for dinner with a friend and it wasn't too busy on a weekday evening. We got the sushi deluxe combo and split it between us. The miso soup was yummy and I ate that so quick before I took a picture. The salad was ok. The dressing was very ginger heavy and it wasn't typical dressing I really enjoy. The sushi deluxe combo was a pretty good deal, but I feel like the fish on the nigiri wasn't as fresh as some places I've tried. The salmon wasn't buttery and fall apart as you chew it. However, the staff were friendly and it wasn't a bad place to grab a bite of sushi.

6. Broiled Red Snapper Bento Box
Jevin H.

The bento boxes here are solid! The special is only for lunch, but you get a decent amount of food for ~$16. Pretty small and quiet restaurant when I was there for Saturday lunch, although I'm not sure if it gets busier other times. If you're craving some bites of sushi mixed with some bento box fare, definitely come check this place out.

Dance with Salmon Roll Unagi
John B.

How I have missed Midori. I am not near this wonderful restaurant... It has been too long... But they knock out some wonderful and very tasty sushi. My go to is the dances with salmon, which is a wonderful handmade roll . Throw in a couple pieces of Unagi along with a little piece of red snapper and you have a wonderful meal. Miso soup is always good. Staff was friendly and attentive. The restaurant was packed, but still delivered. Nice vibe. Excellent service @. Fresh and tasty sushi. Good service... fair price. Looking forward to my next visit

6. Broiled Red Snapper Bento Box
Aruni G.

I met a friend who I hadn't seen in a very long time at Midori. She had been traveling and moved around for a bit for a while until she moved back to Cedar Park area. She suggested we meet halfway from where I live and I'm glad she did. When I used to live near 183/Anderson Mill, this used to be my go to sushi place in the area. Always high quality and great options. They also have the inside decorated really well with cultural elements. The paper menus were easy to understand, but we didn't realize they wanted us to use those really big menus to mark what we wanted b/c it felt like a waste of very nice menus! I'm glad to be reminded they have a good lunch menu as well. I've never had a broiled snapper bento box (usually I get salmon if I get a bento box) and it was really well done! My friend got the spicy salmon roll and said it was pretty spicy! I look forward to eating there again when I'm in the area.

Beef Yakisoba
Lyla A.

We haven't been here in years! To be honest I wasn't excited when I saw the menu but my family wanted sushi and we were in the area. We dined outside at their one table (it's larger though). Their salmon roll sashimi combo was beautiful and plentiful! (See pic) One person got the Unaju (grilled eel) and said it was sublime and amazing. (Pic) Kiddo got 2 California rolls. They were large and made well. (Pic) I had the beef yakisoba. It was fine. I ate it all and no complaints but I wouldn't get it again. We will return I'm sure. Good miso soup and tasty salad dressing too. If you find my review and photos, helpful, please like them!

Randy W.

Amazing Sushi! We have been enjoying this place for years and it's absolutely consistently the best in town.

Olivia S.

The food is sooooo good. The atmosphere is perfect day or night. And the staff is very friendly. I can't for more than a week without their bulgogi.

Bento Box

Upon entering we immediately welcomed into a space well decorated and giving a traditional calm Japanese vibe, with low volume upbeat background music. Not noisy and easy to have conversation. Tables were set with paper sealed chopsticks. We were asked for our drink order immediately and served perfectly prepared miso soup with the beverages. I ordered the lunch special Bento Box with the red snapper and the add on sashimi for $5 more. This was a lot of food ! Great value. Hot green tea was excellent. As was every bite of the meal. Very pleasant staff. I highly recommend this business, and the great price weekly lunch special 11:30-2:30. I will definitely return.

I just called Midori to make a reservation as they don't seem to use any tool like Yelp, Open Table, or Resy. They told me they don't take same day reservations. Can they still claim to take reservations, if they limit how they do?

Yes they can claim to take reservations even if they can't take them when any given person wants them. They are running their business in a way that makes sense to them. I know it's frustrating not to be able to get what we want when we want, but… Read more

I came here on a word-of-mouth recommendation, and I was intrigued before I even sat down. The restaurant itself is gorgeous. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by a beautifully designed waiting area showcasing the restaurant's many awards and accolades. It immediately sets the tone that you're in for something special. We came with one goal: try as many things as possible. Saturdays are perfect for that because they offer dim sum. We started with the Pho Xiao Long Bao (Wagyu beef soup dumplings) and the Korean pancakes. The soup dumplings completely stole the show. Perfectly cooked, delicate wrappers, rich and flavorful broth, and with just a touch of chili oil...absolute perfection. I've had soup dumplings in many places, and these are hands down the best I've ever had. I say that with my whole chest. The Korean pancakes were also outstanding. Crispy on the outside, tender inside, with that perfect balance of savory and just a hint of sweetness. Every bite had great texture and flavor. For our entrées, my husband ordered the Banana Salmon. It was spectacular. It's one of those dishes that makes you question whether you've ever really had good curry before. The spice wasn't about heat, it was about depth, warmth, and layers of beautifully balanced flavor. I ordered the Crab&Shrimp Tom Yum Coconut Fried Rice, and this dish deserves its own paragraph. The presentation alone is stunning. The fried rice is served inside a fresh coconut, surrounded by banana leaves and topped with a beautiful orchid. But thankfully, it tastes every bit as incredible as it looks. The coconut adds a delicate sweetness without overpowering the dish. The crab was plentiful, sweet, and incredibly fresh, while the shrimp were perfectly cooked, not a second overdone. Dishes like this require impeccable timing because every ingredient cooks differently, and somehow every single component was flawless. It was one of the best fried rice dishes I've ever eaten. The service was equally impressive. Everyone was warm, attentive, and happy to offer recommendations based on their most popular dishes. They even told us about their live music nights, which immediately gave us another reason to come back. The table next to us was having Pho and needed with the mango sticky rice and I am coming back for that. Overall, 1618 Asian Fusion delivered on every level, beautiful atmosphere, exceptional food, and genuinely welcoming service. It's one of those restaurants that leaves you planning your next visit before you've even paid the bill. Highly recommend!

After receiving the notification that our order was ready, I waited in the designated curbside spot for about 10 minutes. Eventually I had to painfully get out of the car, only to find our food sitting on the pickup shelf while employees were standing around talking. The much bigger issue came when we got home. We were eating dinner while watching a movie in dim lighting when I happened to notice my boyfriend's chicken was completely undercooked. It was still pink throughout, with some areas even appearing bloody. By the time we realized it, he had already eaten quite a bit of it. He ended up spending the night very sick. Undercooked chicken is a serious food safety issue, not just a quality issue. Mistakes happen, but serving raw chicken can make people extremely ill, and that's exactly what happened here. I'm posting this because I hope management takes it seriously. We have always enjoyed Loro, which is why this experience was so shocking. I hope they improve both their food safety practices and their curbside service so this doesn't happen to someone else.

The food is - in one word, impeccable. We went in for a snack and ended up ordered 4x as much as we meant to because everything was so darn delicious. The menu consists of baos, sushi, hand rolls, adorable pearl shaped nigiri, bento, and more - they are all customizable with yummy sauces (miso butter - mmm!), and many types of protein (seriously like all the protein options you can find at a premium sushi bar). Everything is served with house made sauces so if you are a condiment gal/guy like me this is your place! Food - I had the escolar, unagi, and scallop hand rolls (all under $5 each) and was so surprised by the quality / freshness of the protein and the portions given. The escolar was so soft and buttery. I then ordered the shrimp fresh roll (also under $5, it was HUGE) and the chicken katsu baos (around $6-7) - they were amazing. The chicken tenders are panko crusted and fried crispy.

But it smelled and tasted pretty decent. They give you a good amount of meat too. The turmeric chicken was pretty good too, I really liked the seasoning on this one. The sushi was ok though. The presentations was super cute, with the little sushi balls! But the fish itself didn't taste as fresh as I would have liked. The workers were all really friendly though. You can practically see inside the whole kitchen when you walk in, so it's a little unsettling walking in and seeing all the workers like standing there waiting for you to put your order in online, but interacting with them, they were really friendly.

This Asian smokehouse definitely lives up to the hype. Since we had more adventures planned for the evening, we decided to keep dinner on the lighter side. Loro's menu combines Asian-inspired and Texas smokehouse flavors, creating a unique and delicious dining experience. The atmosphere is casual and inviting.

The Brussels sprouts, however, were excellent...crispy, crunchy, and finished with just the right touch of sweetness. The true highlight were the salmon bowls. The salmon was perfectly charred and packed with flavor, while the coconut rice added a rich, slightly sweet complement that tied the dish together seamlessly.

Chef Ling is a brilliant and personable chef who treats her chefs and staff like family. Several different chefs prepared each course, and the presentation was well beyond what we expected, both visually stunning and thoughtfully composed. From the moment we walked into Ling Kitchen, the energy felt warm and intentional. The space is intimate without feeling cramped, and you immediately sense that you are about to be part of something special rather than just another dinner reservation. Chef Ling personally welcomed guests, shared the story behind the menu, and checked in throughout the evening in a way that felt genuine and never forced. Each course built on the last, with a clear progression of flavors and textures. The fish was impeccably fresh, the knife work precise, and the seasoning balanced to highlight the natural ingredients rather than overpower them. You could see the coordination among the team as different chefs stepped forward to prepare and present their dishes. It truly felt collaborative, like a small culinary orchestra. What stood out most was the creativity. Traditional techniques were honored, but there were subtle twists and unexpected combinations that kept us curious and engaged. Every plate was composed like art. The pacing was perfect, allowing time to savor each bite and appreciate the craftsmanship. Beyond the food, the hospitality elevated the entire experience. The staff was knowledgeable, attentive, and clearly proud to be part of the team. That family atmosphere Chef Ling fosters is palpable and makes the evening feel personal. If you are in Austin and looking for a memorable omakase that rivals experiences in much larger food cities, Ling Kitchen is a must. This is not just dinner, it is a curated, immersive experience. We will absolutely be back. Thank you Ling!!! You are truly one of a kind!

For $150/head you get solid Chinese food, with nice presentation. To me, if I consider the $150 price point for the meal, paying simply for presentation is not enough, especially if you consider other restaurants competing at this price point in the Austin area. Very few of the dishes had any real flavor advancements/innovations past the original Chinese dish it was based on. For example, the salt and pepper lobster comes out in this fancy wide wooden dish, filled with dried peppers, and then is seated on a textured stone bowl with sliced lettuce under the lobster tail. All to get 2 bites of typical tasting lobster. Was the lobster good? yes, but the general feeling is pay more to get better presentation, and less food for the money, not a food taste upgrade. To be fair, that may be what the restaurant is targeting. To contextualize Ling's kitchen, I feel as if you would be able to get a larger version of most if not all dishes, with similar quality in Houston for $20. For $150 you would be able to feed an entire family with drinks and dessert normally so I do not feel as if the money is worth it. Not much innovation on the flavors for the palate, but the food had very cute visuals. Service was nice, and the Chef's energy was infectious.
