    California roll
    Gena P.

    Hands down the best sushi I've had in the Austin area! The quality is excellent, and the prices are super reasonable. The servers were incredibly friendly and professional, which made the experience even better. The uni, hamachi, and saba were especially fresh and delicious. I also tried the California and unagi rolls--both were very good! Definitely recommend them. The lunch special bento boxes are an amazing deal. I had the tonkatsu bento box, and it was really tasty! Overall: Great sushi, great value, great service. Clean, welcoming, and worth coming back to. Highly recommend!

    Came here for weekday lunch and was pleasantly surprised to find a hefty menu for the weekday lunch specials. There were a ton of tables open so it didn't feel crowded. There was plenty of parking and the service was good. I came here specifically for the chirashi bowl and it was delicious and filling. It came with a wide variety of fish, but the rice was a little on the drier side. Nonetheless, it was seasoned well. The salmony 1 came with a good mix of different salmon, all delicious as well.

    Great sushi with rolls I haven't had anywhere else. Definitely try the "Yellowtail lover" and "Vanessa" rolls. Thank me later!

    I'm so happy to have discovered another great sushi spot in Austin! The quality of the food here definitely lives up to its ratings. For nigiri, I absolutely loved the scallop, miso salmon, and toro. One of my all-time favorite rolls has to be the We Need Protein Wagyu roll--I'm not sure if that was garlic butter on top, but oh my goodness, it melted in my mouth! Whoever invented this roll is god-sent. The smokiness of the Wagyu left a lasting impression. As for the Torotoro roll, it was decent--good, but nothing particularly special or rave-worthy. Good service. Chill ambiance.

    I decided to visit this restaurant based on a friend's recommendation. Although it's a bit of a drive from my place, I usually come to this area once every three months. The restaurant is spacious, and they have an outdoor patio. However, I wouldn't recommend sitting there during the summer because it's not covered. The chicken katsu was decent, but not particularly impressive. The fry on it was uneven in color and some of the pieces were quite dry. The scallop was just okay. It lacked flavor even though it was stir-fry with garlic and other ingredients. The service was average. It was their soft opening when I visited, so I can understand that they were still learning.

    Karaage Chicken Bento

    Nice addition to the Japanese/Sushi scene around the Four Points area. Went there for lunch and found the food to be very good. The lunch specials were varied and covered all the bases with many Bento and Sushi combination options. The food is very good. Sushi was fresh and tasted great. We really enjoyed the Karaage and Tempura Bento boxes. Delicious sampling of many Japanese favorites. Service was friendly and prompt.

    Came here on their 3rd day of opening and they did not disappoint. The lunch menu had quite a lot to choose from and prices were fair (between $16-28). The food was delicious! There were still some kinks to be worked out such as the rice was a bit undercooked, miso soup was way too salty and luke warm. But other than that, really can't complain since it was their 3rd day of business. Servers were attentive and owner was nice. Ambiance was on point. This is a much needed restaurant for the River Place area and I'll definitely be back.

    WOW! Just Wow! Am I in Austin? Nabe is a true hidden Jem ! Walk in and sit at the sushi bar or reserve a table. You will not be disappointed or depart hungry. Excellent service and peaceful calm Ambiance.

    First time going to Nabe and I was alone so I sat at the Sushi Bar and received amazing service! Both the server and the Sushi Chef were friendly and attentive. The sushi was fresh, the ambiance is nice and chill so it was a great experience all around. Looking forward to going back.

    Fantastic addition to the four points area. They claim to be upscale sushi and they are. The bento box lunch is about $20 but a good value. The salad was fresh, everything was delicious, and it was plenty of food. I will be coming back for dinner!

    Excellent sushi
    Crystal R.

    So glad to have an upscale sushi restaurant close by. Decorated traditionally inside with a very nice ambiance. We went on a Friday, around 7:30pm and it was very busy, but the gentleman assisted very quickly, getting a table ready for us. The wait was not long at all. There is plenty of seating , booths, low tops and high tops and large tables for larger groups. There are also several spots at the sushi bar to sit at. By 8:20 it had simmered down inside and many tables open by that point. Although it was busy, the staff kept up and was very fast with service. The food was amazing. The truffle garlic edamame was good. I personally like a very strong truffle flavor, this one was mild, so if you like mild, you will love it. I got the tuna tower as my meal and it was so good, very fresh and love the combination. The server deconstructed the tuna tower for us and was like a little table presentation. The sashimi was fresh, great taste, very good. The menu itself is pretty extensive for a new place and being sushi. They do offer options other than sushi, and they have several starters, salads etc. They also have a good alcohol list and drink specials. Can't wait to go back!

    Crispy Flounder

    We have been to Nabe several times now during the week to enjoy their lunchtime bento boxes. I usually get Crispy Flounder w/mayo sauce, but have also had the Tempura Veggies, Tempura Shrimp, Crispy Calamari. All were very good. My husband sticks with the beef bulgogi. The food is plentiful, and we always have to take home left-overs. Starts with a good miso soup, and the bento box has fresh salad with citrus-ginger dressing, entree over rice, 2 types of sushi, and 3 fried won tons (?). Ginger and wasabi are also served. The food never disappoints. Service is excellent and attentive. The restaurant is clean, attractive, fresh. There is also an outside dining area. We are very happy to have Nabe in our neighborhood now.

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. More flavorful and goes so well together w the crunchy scallion texture on the soft fish Hirame usuzukuri- 4/5 - it was good but i could skip it. Flavor was really nice and light. 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
