Received a postcard invitation in the mail to try out their lunch specials. Took my wife & son today and arrived just after 12 noon. It was a warm day, about 90 degrees outside. Upon entering, we immediately noticed how warm it was INSIDE. At the counter, where you normally can view all the fish, the glass was covered in condensation (that tells you how warm it was in there). Anyway, after sitting for about 10 minutes without wait staff acknowledgment or water, we decided this was going nowhere fast and left for a cooler restaurant with friendly helpful staff. We walked down to All Star Burger where the AC worked and were eating inside of 10 minutes. Slow service and a hot restaurant during lunch when folks have a limited time window is not the way to earn patronage. I really wanted to try Tadashi, but will return to Bon Sushi in Lakeway for awesome sashimi. read more

I loved sitting at the sushi bar and enjoying 2 rolls before seeing a movie next door! I am new to Austin and living close to the galleria I am thrilled to have found such a wonderful place for sushi. The rolls were the most unique I've had anywhere! read more

Tadashi - Mango mochi ice cream dessert - Sushi Bars Near Me - Bee Cave, Texas

So delicious! The food is incredibly fresh and all the flavors are on point. I love the chicken teriyaki bento box. You get so much variety to choose from, yet you don't feel overstuffed when you leave. The fresh ginger and wasabi are a great addition! And the seaweed salad? Perfection. It comes out so chilled it has ice crystals. And we tried the green tea ice cream dessert. Omg. Incredible flavor and texture. Yum! read more

Initially we are excited to try out there happy hour roll special. Upon our arrival, the hostesses acted inconvenienced that we had a child. We could hear them talking because they were across the podium from us. They were talking about us like we weren't even there. The rolls were ok. But after the initial impression it was kind of hard to be impressed with anything. Our child was good. There was one other baby screaming there head off. Sorry our 2 year old was an inconvenience. Sorry not sorry. read more

It's like I'm downtown without the drive. Consistency is what you can expect as I have yet to have a bad experience with over five visits now. With a list of resturant fails out here this place is refreshing and is a winner... read more

They have a great happy hour menu, and there was an appetizer like bbq pork skewers that were incredibly tender and amazing that I order every time. I had the ramen for lunch one day which was meh, but if you stick to the sushi you won't be disappointed. read more

good food on occasion but the service takes a 1-2 star. Placed a to go order estimated 10-15 minutes, after arriving 15 minute after calling i was told it'd be another 10 minutes or so (keep in mind there were not many people dining it at this time). 30 minutes later i asked if there was an issue, the sushi chef went to check on my order (since i wasn't acknowledged by any other member of the staff) and proceeds to say something i did not understand to another worker... laughed... then told me it would be another 10 minutes. I asked for a refund after the disrespect. I have also dined in at Tadashi, and my entire table got their food 10-15 minutes apart, and our server failed to visit our table unless food was being delivered. i would recommend better staff training.. read more

My husband and I stumbled upon this restaurant while walking around the Galleria shopping area. We enjoyed the sushi and one of the Bento boxes. The atmosphere was interesting as they were playing Blink182. Seemed like a weird choice for this kind of environment. My true complaint with this restaurant is that our waiter, Jordan, wasn't the most attentive waiter. And then he decided to double his tip on my credit card. Unlucky for him, I check our receipts with our statements and caught his slimy effort to make more money. I will be calling the restaurant owner tomorrow to correct this error. Untrustworthy employees. I will not eat here again. read more

Decent new sushi spot. I'm going to agree with some of the other reviews here: the food is pricey but mediocre (good-but-not-great food at Uchi prices) and the service is confusing, with multiple people showing up to take my orders. The food is so-so. The sushi was pretty good and they get extra points for nice presentation, but the ingredients were neither creative nor of the highest quality. I ventured outside of the sushi menu and tried the oden and udon. The oden was absolutely awful ($9 for a bowl that's basically just broth with onion shavings in it?) and contained nothing that should be in a bowl of oden. The onion and daikon radish were basically raw, so I had the taste of raw onion in my mouth for the rest of the evening. The udon had the same problem-- the soup was good, but it seemed they did not have the proper ingredients, so they just threw whatever they had in the kitchen in a bowl. Raw broccoli in udon is not "creative" or "a twist on traditional"; it's a cry for help. The sake menu was nice. I highly recommend the plum wine. I'll probably go back in a month or two to see if they've improved anything and update my review. Areas they'd need to improve on to get 5 stars: * Streamline service and make sure everyone is knowledgeable about every dish, not just the sushi (I don't think my waiter knew oden was on the menu when I ordered it...) * Improve ingredient quality and cook times. Fish was dry, chicken/beef yakitori skewers were rubbery. * Review non-sushi options for quality and authenticity. Find the ingredients you need for a dish instead of making strange Americanized substitutions * Happy Hour menu would be nice! Better ingredients would help justify the higher prices. Nothing special yet, but they are new. I'll give them more time to set up and check back again later. read more

I go here regularly, before or after a movie. I have found to be consistently good. Nice decor, attentive host and waiter. On one occasion they brought us the wrong dish, that was promptly corrected AND they let us have both dishes. That is how to turn a mistake into a positive, a sign of genuine good service. read more

Staff is always friendly and attentive, even when they are busy. My favorite go items are their chefs choice sushi, pepper tuna roll and voodoo roll. On weekends they have a great wild selection of assorted fresh fish. read more

Great food and fast service. Awesome place for good sushi. It's a good place to go with family.

Very good! Their sushi is commendable, and they make sure to have new and interesting things to try. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that the desserts leave a little to be desired read more

By far the most creative sushi in the area. Reminds me of the sushi I get in California whenever I go there.

Service is confusing, you don't have one but many servers. Food was good, however my husband and I both got food poisoning from the food. I've eaten sushi all over the US for many years and this was a first. Won't return. Much prefer Cho in this area, on 620. read more

This place officially replaces Cho's as the premiere sushi restaurant in the lakeway / bee cave area...we will certainly be back.

Had a bento box at lunch. Portions and quality were very good and service was quick and attentive.

The food was amazing, but the service was one for the worst experiences we've had not only in Bee Cave, but all of Greater Austin. Once we were seated we waited 10 minutes before anyone stopped by with water and our server had still not stopped by. After watching the table next to us (who had arrived later than us) have their order taken, the appetizers dropped off & then their entrees delivered we wondered when we would see our server. He finally visited our table to take our order, apologized for the wait, and then told us that our appetizer would arrive shortly. 20 minutes later our sushi arrives before our appetizer and 2nd course. The servers assistant had stopped by a few times with more water, but we still hadn't seen our server since taking our order. The assistant was nice, but clearly had no sway with the kitchen staff as our appetizer (edamame) still took 10 minutes to arrive (which was also dropped off by the assistant). We reminded here that our 2nd course had not arrived and she promised to check with the kitchen again. 10 minutes later a server from a different section dropped of the 2nd course without any words, but a dirty look. It appeared that she didn't like serving other sections. After 10 more minutes we had to flag down the assistant for our bill. Once she ran out card & dropped it off our "server" made a 2nd appearance of the night just in time to offer to fill our waters before we walked out. Regarding the food: the Philly roll was amazing. The smokiness was spot on and elevated it above many others we've had in the area. The Egyptian roll was amazing & left us wanting to lick the plate. The Cloud Nine roll was refreshingly light. The edamame was fine & the short rib was seasoned & cooked really well. This would have been a 5 star experience with the right service. read more

One of my all time favorite Sushi joints ever. We try to hit Tadashi's at least once a week. Great service, friendly employees, and fair prices. Out of the 25 or so times we've been there, I've NEVER had meal that didn't deliver. Consistency is a good thing to have in a Sushi joint. read more

Nice place to grab lunch. The quality of food is great with reasonable prices. I would give 5 stars based on three of my four experiences here but dropped it to 3 stars based on one specific visit; there happen to be a reality tv star there at the time I was having lunch and it was very obvious that this individual was priority. We had our servers attention just long enough to order and we saw him for a split second when the food arrived. I didn't even get a drink refill because the server was distracted by a "celebrity". read more

Finally, oh finally, there is a sushi place that we love in Bee Cave. The atmosphere is funky and cool although small. The edamame was perfect and the sushi just right. We drank cold Sapporo (from the tap) and watched the fire pit outside. This is where my husband and I go for date night when we're ready to relax (from work and kids). I love this place. read more

We have been back several times since my first review. So fresh and perfect every time. I love that they have a patio, and we can bring the kids without feeling like we are being too loud. read more

Whole family enjoys this restaurant. Plenty of creative sushi rolls. Great location and outdoor seating

Sushi - simply! A cute interior and quick dining for sushi. Cant really complain about too much here. Never had a wait either

Can't speak for the food 'cause the service was so bad we didn't make it that far. Stood around for about 5 minutes without acknowledgment. The hostess was taking a to-go order, but about 5 waiters who didn't look particularly busy were around and no one could bother with a "we'll be with you in a second." Plenty of tables were open, and there were plenty of staff so this wasn't a crowd control issue. The hostess was momentarily too busy to so much as make eye-contact with a new customer and none of the wait staff were willing to pick up the slack. So after a few minutes of being ignored completely we stepped out, only for a waitress to call after us that she was getting ready to seat us (this was the first time we were spoken to.) We were already out the door and said, "sorry, too late" BUT the door hadn't closed all the way before I heard her say "I can't believe they couldn't have waited one more second." I can't believe you can't wait until your customers are out of earshot to complain about them? Waiting for 5 minutes was not the problem, being ignored completely was. Greet your customers and don't whine about them where they can hear you! read more

Wow, the sushi is top notch. Kirin on tap! I enjoyed it so much, I came again two days later. Unfortunately, the waitress forgot part of the order and disappeared for 20 minutes, so only 4 stars today. read more

Alright for happy hour Japanese in Austin this place kills it. $2.50 Sapporo drafts, $4 rolls, delicious yakatori, awesome service, all around amazing. Some of their stuff is hit and miss for true authentic Japanese cuisine but seriously you can't beat this place for their happy hour specials anywhere. read more

This place is bomb dot com. All the fish and seafood is responsibly sourced. Staff is very nice and attentive. Did I mention the food is bomb dot com? Like really really good. read more

We came here months ago and we're not impressed. Tonight they have a local "wine walk", so give it another try. We were very pleasantly surprised at the wine walk offering. Of all the businesses participating they have a two ounce pour for each wine. When compared to other restaurants who are involved this is a great bonus and got us to stay for a light meal at least Our previous experience here we discovered most of the sushi is farm raised and at least to me lacks the flavor of a high end sushi diner. We were told to ask for the wild caught menu...which we did, but our server had no idea what was wild, so I pulled out my iphone to show her the menu and she left to check. The bad; Happy hour appetizers are not on menu items, but basic tuna or salmon with rice and Nuri, this is not a Happy hour deal, just a low grade item made just for happy hour. What is even worse is there is nothing served with the roll, no ginger, no wasabi. If you don't ask for it, you will not get any. Did I read this is an upscale sushi restaurant? Finally after more than 35 minutes, despite only about a third of the restaurant occupied, I received the wild caught scallop niguri. They were very good and fresh...but nothing more than the rice/wrap and a sloppily cut scallop on top. I probably have better knife skills and creativity. read more

This is by far the best sushi restaurant in the Lakeway area. Service has always been decent and the food is fantastic. Prices are good for the portion size and quality of food you are receiving. Everything is extremely fresh! read more

Big fan of this high quality japanese restaurant. We are picky about our Japanese food. Tadashi continues to hit the mark on every visit. Love the rolls, seaweed salad, sushi and yakitori appetite. read more

Had a late lunch at Tadashi's. Upon walking in, I was a little unsure of how the quality of the food would be, the restaurant is on the smaller side and very typical in decor, so I thought it would be the "same old" place/food. We ordered gyoza, udon noodles with chicken and a few sushi rolls. The food was very good, presented well and our server Christina was friendly, personable and attentive. We will definitely return! read more

Tadashi - Chicken udon noodles - Sushi Bars Near Me - Bee Cave, Texas

See all

Would have been 4 stars for food and service, but we were seated next to the station that holds the make ready items for new tables (napkins, chopsticks, etc). At one point during our meal, a busboy/runner came to get new sets for a table. He dropped one of the chopsticks on the floor...picked it up...and kept right on going. I saw him place it on a table. Gross!! Our server was excellent but extremely harried - we had to ask for several things (placing our drink order, a missing appetizer, our final sushi roll). We were never asked if we wanted a second round of drinks. The place is not all that big so it was surprising she was so swamped. Overall sushi was good with some interesting rolls but the chopstick incident makes me queasy, especially in a sushi restaurant. read more

Wonderful. Great service. We just moved to Austin and this is a regular stop for us. Would recommend to anyone !!!

Best Sushi in the area! great staff they often create custom things for my family

No, no, no. Tadashi is waaaay overpriced for food of mediocre quality and super slow service. I am truly lamenting the $40+ I just depend on a very disappointing lunch. Edamame was a laughably small portion. Futo maki was the smallest I've ever seen, and very blah. Shrimp shumai were soggy. Chicken yakitori was tough and absolutely drowned in a sauce akin to barbecue. The miso soup was good, but that's pretty difficult to screw up. I wouldn't return here unless it was free. Save your money, go elsewhere. read more

I think this place was ok. the menu is not overly special. the pork belly left much to be desired. the sushi average. didn't quite melt in your mouth like I've had at other restaurants. value wise, I'd rather eat at other places read more

2 girls are the front of the house. Said right away they couldn't sit us. Not even there is a wait.... It was if you don't have a reservation we won't be able to sit you. This is today at 6:16 read more

We came here for happy hour on a whim. We ordered the majority of the happy hour menu and the American Roll. The sashimi was very fresh and tasty which is hard to find! The tempura veggies were good but a little thick on the breading. The roll was pretty awesome but I'm personally not a fan of cream cheese in hot rolls. Not their fault though of course. The star was definitely the salmon cheek which was $4 for a massive piece of salmon! We had to ask our waitress that she hadn't accidentally given us a different item. Amazing deal. We paid $80 for two. Not terrible considering we did order at least 5 dishes. read more

Love this new place! The Bento boxes are huge and delicious. Everything so far has been great.
