    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!

    Salmony 1

    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.

    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

    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.

    Another traditional Christmas lunch at our favorite and nearby hibachi restaurant this past…read moreChristmas Day! The menu seemed to have changed a bit from last year, but looked substantially the same. We were able to call that day to check for availability and were able to walk in and get a seat for 3 at the hibachi table and didn't have to wait too long to get our orders in and eat. We enjoyed the entertainment the chef provided! We sometimes weren't clear who our server was so it took us a bit to flag the right person down to take a drink order. We ordered chicken, shrimp, steak, and salmon dish options. I had a hot sake too. I liked the onion type soup with mushrooms they offered this year as I'm not generally a fan of traditional miso soup. The place was nicely decorated and we enjoyed the annual experience of eating Japanese hibachi on Christmas Day! I'm sure we will be back again next year!

    Pretty weak experience overall. My partner and I made a reservation at 7:30 on a Friday for a…read morehibachi table, and had it confirmed by email. When we arrived at the restaurant, the hostess said that she didn't have the reso on her end; rather than apologizing or making a single effort to fix the issue, she just stared at us. We had to prompt her for clarification and next steps, and had to continue to prompt her through the process of getting us sat. When we finally sat down at a regular table, we waited about 15 minutes without a server coming by. I eventually flagged a server down, and we got our order under way. We requested the manager stop by to tell him about the issue with the reservation and the fact that his hostess needs additional training, and surprise, the manager was also not helpful. He did apologize for our reservation being lost, but blamed it on the system and denied any responsibility for taking care of it - basically just told us that "life is life". He did not offer a discount or any kind of relief for the setbacks or bad service. I wasn't expecting the world or anything, but good hospitality dictates that you do more that basically tell us to just deal with it. For the food: the sushi was pretty gnarly - it looked like somebody was angry at the fish when they were slicing. Most things needed salt. Steak and fried rice was good, but the vegetables were pretty much raw. I can forgive quite a bit when it comes to service, especially on graduation/mother's day weekend. But honestly I'm a little impressed at how little the entire staff cared about their guests.

    Soto's happy hour is a fantastic deal, especially when they have it on the daily. This is by far my…read morewife's favorite restaurant and we regularly go here for date night. For roughly $60 the wife was full and we had roughly 6 dishes and one cocktail (I was still slightly hungry). Think of it as more of a tapas style ordering. Soft shelled crab - My absolute favorite and by far the best dish! Crispy from the breading, soft shell and subtle crab taste, and to top it off the fried egg adds some creaminess from the yolk. Not greasy at all due to the way it's fried. And who doesn't like a little microgreen to add some freshness to it?! It could likely use a little more salt, and this particular time the yolk was a overcooked. Sushi Tacos - 2nd favorite! You get two, and frankly I prefer not sharing these (although my wife forced me to). It's such a unique dish. Each taco is palm sized. They take a yummy piece of laver (seaweed), coat one side and deep fry it to make a nice hard shell taco casing. Then they fill it with sushi rice, top it with plentiful tuna, add a slice of avocado, and top it with micro greens. Refreshing, light (once you squeeze the tiny lime on top), slightly filling due to the rice, and absolutely delicious. Takoyaki - I'm not a fan, but the wife is. For me it's a texture thing. Even when visiting Japan I didn't enjoy this dish. Honestly though I do think it deserves far more bonito flakes, as the dish is meant to look alive from the waving flakes. Honestly we love this place so much, I always get engrossed in the food so much I forget to take pics. The overall ambience is chill and refined, albeit no white tableclothes, but it acts like it should have them. This location gets busy during dinner time, however during happy hour it's rarely even 1/4 full. Monday's the happy hour is all day!

Our server said she would remove it from the bill, which I appreciated--but the manager refused. Instead, he insisted I pay for it and even tried to pressure me into eating it. The lack of flexibility and understanding made an already frustrating situation worse. We don't go out to eat often, so this was especially disappointing. Overall, the service was poor and not how customers should be treated.

Your party of 3 can have 2 people finish their entire dinner before one of you ever gets anything. This happened to us last Friday at Momo. I sat for 40 minutes waiting patiently for a bento box while my husband and daughter had their entire meal. Someone who was not our server came over and said "it looks like you're missing some things" - yep, dude, you sure are perceptive. Our appetizer came out at around 30+ minutes - it was the veggie and shrimp tempura. And that was after the multiple sushi rolls came out and my family had already eaten them. The bento came out finally, with no offer to make it right. Our server only sheepishly said sorry. I should have known trouble was on the way when we walked in and we were sat right next to the counter with a view of the sushi "chef." I watched him bang a knife (he had just used to cut avocado with) on the inside of a dirty trash can and then proceeded to use it again. Nope. All the way nope. Good luck to you, Momo. I won't be back to even bother finding out if you've gotten your *ish together.
