    Stuffed Jalapeño
    Stephanie P.

    Came in to have sushi with a friend. We sat at the sushi bar since there were no tables avaliable. the two rolls we got were just alright, one of them had fish pieces that were so large it made it really hard to eat. the escalor nigiri was good but there is way better in the area. Edemame to me was also just okay . The best thing we had was the fried , stuffed jalapeños. probably wouldn't go back here unless someone else pays lol.

    Wow!! Small space big DEAL!!!!! Wow.. can't say it enough. Authentic, beautiful , great service . Fish melts in your mouth and hard to find in central Texas ... Sarah, our server, was informative, sweet and helpful! The service overall was that of fine dining for 2x the price!!! Can not wait for the next time !!

    Crunch roll and blue crab roll

    I've got half a mind to not even write this review because I know this place is going to blow up. Luckily, I don't gate keep because this place should be open forever so everyone can get a taste of this delicious sushi. A foodie friend who had gone for dinner said that he recommended literally on the menu and that dinner waits may exceed two hours. So I came here for lunch with a coworker at 1 to avoid the lunch rush. We were seated and served so promptly! It's a small store front that is clean and there are not many tables so I can understand why there may be a substantial wait for dinner, and, it's worth it! You can pretty much see the sushi chef's working their magic from at least half the tables at the restaurant. We had the sea bream as an appetizer that was on the house. My coworker only likes raw fish if it's wrapped in seaweed (so sashimi and nigiri is out with him) but he made an exception for the sea bream and he loved it. I got the chef's set and every bite was exquisite and delicious. The crunch roll was divine and the blue crab roll was good too. Lunch for both of us was about $40 dollars so it's not an everyday place but we were so happy and satisfied with everything we had!

    I love Sushi Yume -- hands down my favorite sushi restaurant in Austin. The pricing is fair and the quality is exceptional. They offer daily specials as well as solid lunch deals. If you're not into raw seafood, they have great rolls, but the sashimi is always incredibly fresh. I also love the donburi here -- it's my favorite in town. The rice is perfectly seasoned and the fish is consistently fresh. Compared to other places that are more expensive, the chirashi don here is an excellent value. The space itself is very small and seating is very limited. I don't recommend large groups but I would make a reservation for parties of more than four and calling ahead. They do accept walk-ins, but on weekends expect a 45-60 minute wait.

    Crispy rice with spicy tuna

    Had dinner on a Saturday night, wait was about 1 hour. Service was great and everyone is super nice. Really liked the yellowtail sashimi special and crispy rice with tuna. Nigiri pieces were great as well. Salmon blue crab sashimi special: this was probably my least favorite item we ordered. Blue crab meat wrapped in salmon. Flavoring was good but there was too much crabmeat. So the texture is all the same.

    a restaurant worthy of its reputation truly. i came on a friday and was turned away due to the waitlist closing. only three hours after opening!! i made sure to get there right at opening the next day, and my party of 4 were the last to be let in after being 4th in line it's a very small, intimate, and cozy space, and no one rushed you which i truly appreciated everything that we ordered was so skillfully crafted, starting from the agedashi and calamari. the batters for both complemented its main component perfectly. the double salmon roll was decadent and creamy, and the shiso leaf in the futomaki was the cherry on top of that bite - so bright. i loved my vibrant chirashi bowl and spicy scallop handroll. such a lovely experience

    Came in for lunch on a Thursday around noon and the place was already packed. I waited about 20 minutes, but it was definitely worth the wait. The handrolls were super flavorful, and the sushi set was fresh and high-quality. I also tried the seared salmon - absolutely amazing! Fatty, tender and juicy with so much umami from the smoky flavor. Would definitely come back.

    This place is 100% worth the hype. Every single item is made with care and precision, and is absolutely delicious.

    Crispy tuna
    Kara M.

    Decided to give this spot a try after seeing it pop up on social media and super glad I did! Walked up about 15 mins. prior to opening (11am) on NYE and were 4th in line to get a table. The restaurant is small so it was pretty much filled within the first 10 mins. of opening. Service was quick and casual, food is no frills and delicious, and menu has great variety! All around an easy 5/5 hit - I can't wait to revisit and try other things on the menu! QUICK FACTS: - Parking? Yes, located in a strip mall on the corner. There is plenty of open lot parking space. - Reservations? I don't see any online. You can call ahead and see or try to let them know if your group is larger than 4. FOOD RATINGS: - Chef's choice sushi (lunch special, 5/5): 6 pieces for $24. Loved all of the pieces. Rice is done really well, both in flavor and texture. Fish is generously portioned and melts in your mouth. I wish I ordered more nigiri! - Crispy rice with spicy tuna (5/5): Trendy but done really well! Perfectly crispy rice, generous portion of tuna. A great starter. - Crab puff (4/5): Loaded and tasty. Loved the tempura style roll. Cream cheese balance was nice, sauce was good. - Popcorn lobster roll (3/5): My least favorite thing we ordered. Not sure why it has the word "lobster" in it when there's not actually any lobster. The "popcorn" style crawfish was fun, but overwhelmed the roll. The roll itself was like a basic California roll - nothing special. I wouldn't order this one again. - Snowball roll (I can't remember the name, 4/5): Giant pieces loaded with fish. Rice was super soft and delicious. All around a solid roll! - Seared salmon nigiri (5/5): This was given to us randomly, on the house. They were delicious! Melted in your mouth. Very sweet of them and unexpected. We enjoyed it!

    Sushi was never this affordable and good in Austin! I've failed to come here multiple times due to the wait times, and this time I showed up at opening. It was so worth Inside the store, it looks pretty simple and humble. The waitstaff are friendly and knowledgable, and there's nothing intimidating or upscale about the storefront. The food, on the other hand, is on par with well established, high end restaurants. The 10 piece nigiri combo was a great price, but I wasn't expecting the toppings and sauces on the dish. Extraordinary work with fresh fish and premium ingredients. I couldn't have asked for anything better. The nebi toro handroll was delicious as well! Yuzu sorbet was fantastic; I was blown away by everything they handed me.

    this is one of my favorite sushi restaurants in texas!!! the quality and quantity of salmon for the price - can't beat it. i love salmon, so i ordered the following: agedashi tofu, salmon roll, double salmon roll, salmon and aburi salmon sushi i could eat the salmon roll all day - so yummy!! the double salmon roll was too spicy for me the first time i got it, so this time i asked them to not include the spicy mayo on top, and it tasted a lot better. there is always a line, so expect to wait ~ but so worth it!

    Patti D.

    So good! Nico approved sushi and he wants to come back soon. We had about a 20 minute wait but it was worth it. Fresh, friendly and reasonably priced for the excellent quality!

    Double Salmon roll. I would definitely order this again
    Chucky H.

    It's bonkers how good this unassuming little sushi restaurant is! Bonkers I say! I haven't had sushi this good in ages. Every single thing we ordered exceeded expectations. The uni was particularly delicious. I tried the monkfish liver as well and it knocked my socks off. I mean, just look at these pictures. Service was excellent. Atmosphere is energetic and the sushi chefs were all smiles. It is pricy but the price matches the quality. We can't wait to go back!

I got to hang out with one of my friends from college who was in town for winter break in the Round Rock area, and he suggested Sushi NiNi for dinner. We arrived around 6:30 pm during their extended happy hour, which lasts until 7 pm, and were seated immediately. I very rarely eat sushi, but I have enjoyed what I've had in the past. As my friends ordered, they clearly knew what they were doing, so I followed their lead. One friend ordered a Spider Roll, while my other friend ordered nigiri of the salmon and snapper along with a Volcano Roll. I copied him. The nigiri was great, but I really enjoyed the flavor and kick from the Volcano Roll. The spicy mayo and jalapeños added a nice heat and balanced well with the shrimp. I also liked the crunch. After that, I sent in another order to try the nigiri of the grilled eel, which was heavenly. I have never had eel before, and it absolutely floored me with its flavor. I could easily eat five orders of it. The staff was attentive throughout our visit. One staff member somehow accidentally served my friend a glass of soy sauce instead of unsweetened tea, which was absolutely hilarious to me, so I don't really have anything to complain about. I have no idea how that mix-up happened, but maybe the soy sauce refill container looks similar to their tea containers and sits nearby. Either way, it was very funny. I hope to return to Sushi NiNi in the future because the sushi was excellent and fairly priced. I don't think I paid over $30 for everything I ordered, and it all tasted fresh and well prepared. They do it right here. For being all seafood, it's not too fishy. RIYL: Good sushi for a good price

It is a quaint little place, not too big of a space so luckily they did not have a wait when we went. I give it a five star review because of the sushi. The food for me was good, not the best like not great, but it does satisfy the Korean food craving. Presentation of dishes was so nice and fun, the sushi was on fire literally. They start you off with banchan-kimchi, macaroni, onions, and fish cake. It's standard, nothing outstanding, but they do give free refills! 1. Taimatsu Roll - My favorite dish we ordered. It's saucy and has a nice play on textures because of the crispy fried bits on top. It is stuffed with a sizeable piece of tuna and has a sweet mayo sauce. It is definitely more fusion leaning rather than traditional. 2. Dak-Galbi - A spicy chicken dish with sweet potato matchstick slices and rice cakes. There could be more rice cakes and flavor. It was not spicy at all, more of that sweet savory taste you get from gochujang based dishes. The chicken was super tender and there was a good amount! 3. Beef Rib Stew - This was a warming stew with glass noodles, it is a basic soup that is salty and peppery (some may think it's bland). It comes with a bone in beef rib that is fall off the bone tender! Overall, while the food wasn't the most outstanding, I would definitely come back to try other items (namely the sushi). I would also love to try the inari tofu pockets I see online (not sure if they still have that though since I don't think I saw that on the menu). Also, their other fusion leaning dishes like the carbonara tteokbokki sounds interesting.
