Tiffany is AMAZING. Not from Austin Texas but so glad we came here cause hands down 1000/10 experience

This is the best sushi I've ever had. Tiffany and Elvis are the best and made us feel at home and special. Tiffany was very personable and knowledgeable of the menu and it was incredible. 10/10 recommend and will 100% come again (thinking about coming back tomorrow)!!! read more

Tatsumi Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

WOW. 10/10 experience. The food was incredible, we had several recommendations from Elvin that were amazing. As well as some special made rolls just for us after learning our preferences. Elvin made it a point to come by our table and get to know us on a personal level and make sure our experience was exceptional. Good service is hard to come by these days but Tatsumi exceeds expectations. We're big foodies and this has made its way to #1 on our list of best sushi in town. Highly recommend trying the A5 wagyu, the Gary roll, & the escolar nigiri. Honestly you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Ask for Elvin or Coco, they will take great care of you!! read more

Our favorite sushi spot in town. We love coming in, saying "surprise us" - and going on a culinary journey. The staff is all so knowledgeable, the fish and dishes fresh and delightful, and the space cozy. It feels cool without being pretentious, a real IYKYK kind of neighborhood gem. read more

Updated review: It's been years since I've been back and very pleased with our experience so we will be putting this restaurant on our rotation. LOGAN, our server was great. Attentive, gave great recs, and overall very friendly. He just moved to Austin 6 months ago. Give him a hello! Our favorite was A5 miyazaki hotate. The gold flakes really adds the extra oomph of flavor ( jk adds no flavor, looks pretty but probs can do without) However, when we come back we'll probably skip the A5 miyazaki hotate and just stick with the A5 ebi uni maguro roll. The A5 ebi uni maguro roll does come with fried shrimp heads on it. Logan advised we give them a try. If he didn't make that suggestion, I would have left them as decor. Surprisingly really tasty. The nigiri... fish was FANTASTIC. Most of our nigiri had a tad too much wasabi under the fish. Kind of over powering and distracts from the flavor. read more

There's nothing better than spending time with family and friends. Yesterday, I had the opportunity to enjoy dinner with a good friend. My morning started with church with my family, followed by a few activities throughout the day, but I made it a point to prioritize that time together. Dinner turned into a full-on, joyful experience when her husband stopped by with my favorite "play nephew" so he could see his Aunty D. We have this little high-five routine that always sends him into giggles...it's the sweetest thing and fills me with so much joy. Between that and catching up with my friend, the evening was already special. She suggested Tatsumi, a place I'd never tried before, and I love trying new restaurants. Interestingly, I've driven past this restaurant every week and never noticed it. Tatsumi Sushi is located on W. Anderson Lane next to High 5, near Office Depot. My friend has been coming here since the early days of COVID and was actually the restaurant manager Elvin's second customer. When we walked in, black curtains swayed gently from the breeze of the opening door, and the space opened up into a sleek, modern dining area. My friend ordered the omakase, which included 24 pieces of raw fish. Omakase means "I'll leave it up to you," allowing the chef to curate each course based on what's fresh, seasonal, and their own expertise. Now, I'll admit that kind of surprise isn't really my jam when it comes to food. Nothing on the menu initially jumped out at me, but when Elvin asked what I was in the mood for, I mentioned a crunchy crab roll. He took that idea and created something special, adding shrimp and avocado. My friend absolutely loved her omakase, and I did try a piece of the salmon...it was delicious. As for my roll, it was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and made with real crab. Truly next-level good. We started with miso soup, which was light yet flavorful and had a nice variety of textures. In addition to our entrees, we also had fried shrimp heads served with shrimp nigiri. The shrimp heads still had the eyeballs in (which I removed before eating), but they were crunchy and packed with flavor. Great company. Great food. Great memories. That's a recipe that's always worth repeating. read more

I'm hesitant to right this review because I want to gatekeep it but every great establishment deserves to be shared. The staff and owner are truly special. So incredibly kind and they all take care of each other as well as they take care of their patrons. The food is stellar and so reasonably priced. I never dreamt that I would find Nodoguro in the states let alone in my hometown, but here it is!! They have an awesome, unique nigiri and sashimi menu and love is poured into everything. We will be returning frequently!! Thank you Tiffany, Logan, Kyra and all the rest of the amazing staff for your hospitality and execution read more

After too long of a hiatus, I finally returned to Tatsumi last night and had some incredible nigiri. We did a mix of our choices and our server's choices: -king sake (classic, fantastic) -fujisan trout (insane, loved) -Hirame (solid start -ishigakidai -yukimasu (bacon jam, ponzu, truffle sauce) -otoro (a MUST) -Hotate foie gras (fig jam, Lemon, citrus juice) -madai (better than others I've tried, citrusy and fresh) -unagi (sweet end to the meal) All of the fish was fantastic. Service was lovely. I need to come back immediately. read more

Was excited to try a new sushi spot and checked out Tatsumi Sushi. The rolls were fresh and tasty but a bit heavy on the sauce at times. Service was decent, our waiter was a little awkward, but everything came out in a timely manner. The music was really loud, which made it tough to hear everyone at our table of four. Prices also felt a little high for what you get. We ended with the matcha tiramisu, which was unfortunately disappointing in size, flavor, and presentation. Overall, not a bad experience, but there's definitely room for improvement. read more

If you're looking for some of the best sushi and service in Austin, this is the place. I'm mad at myself for not finding this place sooner. Once we walked in the door Chef Elvin greeted us, served us, asked what we liked, and started bringing out an assortment of nigiri and rolls. Every dish was perfect, and I've never had flavors like that before. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and you can tell a lot of care goes into what they serve here at Tatsumi. Amazing experience, we will be coming back! read more

I left CA two years ago for TX. I have finally found a sushi restaurant to brag about. The food and service were top notch. Elvin's sushi was phenomenal! Time and money well spent! I am leaving very fat and happy! Make your reservation now! read more

The sushi was very good and our waiter was very helpful with suggestions in food and sake. I had been here a couple times before some years ago and don't recall it being as good as it was last week when I met a friend here for an early dinner. Be prepared to spend some money as the options aren't cheap. The sake can be $20 per glass! My friend has been here several times so he ordered the chef's 7 piece choice and we added a couple of salmon pieces. After tasting the snow trout, we ordered a couple more of those but I forgot to take photos of them! The brussell sprouts were delicious! My friend ordered a unagi bowl to go for his son who was at home and they had it ready for us when we left. I'm glad I gave this place another try as now I know another good sushi spot in the area! read more

I like it here. Creative and refined menu with a nice selection of classics and some creative. Nigiri is why we go + rolls, even karaage. Definitely try the A5 Miyazaki Hotate. The dessert we had was like a matcha tres leches. Excellent. Great options for sake and your favorite Japanese beers. Perfect celebration spot. Service on point and the place has the right feel for conversation but also intimacy. Shoutout to Elvin (Chef), Coco, and Tiffany!! read more

Omakase, single person. Be prepared to drop a lot... like a lot. I've been to many places and the price I paid was Michelin level prices. Food: definitely 5 for the nigiri and the sashimi. The nigiri set was worth it and paired nicely. -3 on appetizers. Most of the appetizers were just average at best and just too many of them which means more $$$. I suggest go in and ask for sushi only or sushi and sashimi, no appetizers. Next time I would suggest asking the customer a range instead of "chef's choice of many appetizers" read more

Came here to try their lunch menu and they have some pretty good prices at lunch. It was fairly empty before noon but they got more customers after noon, I ordered the Chirashi which has 9 types of sashimi over sushi rice. The sushi rice came with kanpyo soI wasn't sure what that was but it seems to make the sushi rice more like fried rice in taste which was very different. The price was only 25$ which is way cheaper than most places for Chirashi bowl. This also came with miso soup with enoki mushrooms and small salad. I paired my meal with a cold Asahi beer from tap. Service was attentive. Will come here more often during lunch to explore their other sushi lunch specials as well as there bento lunch offerings from the kitchen. read more

Rating: 2.6/5 [dine in] We were excited to try this place because of their high rating, but unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. The restaurant had a modern industrial vibe. Service was extremely slow, and the food is overpriced for the quality. Tokyo Fried Chicken Karaage ($14): The meat was juicy and flavorful, though my husband thought it was just okay. Kani Jomaki ($18): Snow crab, greens, unagi, tamago, cucumber, shiso, and avocado. Unfortunately, this roll was very bland -- definite pass. Black Cod ($30): We waited quite a while for our black cod and even considered canceling the order. When it finally arrived, our server Vin (per the receipt) placed it on the table. Just as we finished taking pictures, a lady came over and said it was actually for another table and that our cod would be out "shortly." I'm pretty sure there's a health and safety policy that once a dish touches a table, it can't be served to another customer so her reasoning left us shocked. As for the cod itself, it was good but not as buttery soft as we prefer. A5 Ebi Uni Maki ($35): Charred A5 Miyazaki beef, botan ebi, uni, bigeye tuna maki. They only make 10 of these rolls per night, so we were glad to snag one. This roll had better quality ingredients and was more enjoyable. I'm not usually a fan of uni but could eat this one. It came with a fried shrimp head, but they didn't bring it to us until after the cod situation. When we asked for the check, it took forever to arrive. The sushi chef even had to remind our server. Overall, not worth the hype. We won't be back. read more

Right as I walked in, Tiffany welcomed me with such enthusiasm and hospitality. I asked for help on ordering for my large group. However, it was way too much and I wish they would've been more honest with the amount. The sushi here is very very fresh. I didn't expect for Texas sushi to be so good but I'm so glad I found this spot - not too fishy. My favorite was the crab roll. I think it was called LLG or KKG? or something like that. But next time I would edge on the risk of ordering less and adding more instead of creating so much food waste. read more

Probably the worst service and sushi experience I've ever had. We made reservations for our anniversary, and it was a terrible experience over all. The server was cold and rude. We thought we ordered $9 large format beers but we received standard size ones that were 2/3 full with only one bottle of the two. The glasses were warm and scratched. Our appetizers came after our sushi, so we received edamame and miso soup during the second roll of sushi. They also brought two orders of the wrong edamame, by the third order we received the corrected one. All the sushi was mushy and flavorless. Our server never returned to ask if we wanted additional drinks or more food. We had to chase down another person for the bill. Will not return, will not recommend. 0/10 not worth the hype. read more

Food was amazing and fish was so fresh! Come for the chirashi bowl (a bit expensive but definitely shareable). Call if you want a reservation cause they don't take online ones but they should also be walk-in friendly! read more

Tiffany, the owner, was patient with us after being trapped in the elevator of our hotel for an hour & a half, our reservations were scheduled for 7:45pm and we called, from the elevator, to let them know that as soon as we got out of the elevator we were coming to dinner, please don't give up on us!!!! The held our table and were so sweet and gracious when we arrived!!! Then Tiffany took care of our order and surprised us with things even off the menu!!! It was my 50th birthday present and now I am thoroughly convinced that there will definitely be SUSHI IN HEAVEN!!! Vin & Kyla were the best servers and we felt so loved on!!! Don't miss this best kept secret!!! read more

I recommend making a reservation in advance. Though they took us as walk ins, it seems like almost every table was already reserved even though it was mostly empty when we arrived (before 6:30PM). We tried the fried rice (delicious flavor but not a lot of pork). We got an assortment of nigiri including salmon, yellowtail, lean and fatty tuna, tamago, unagi, and two types of uni. The uni of the same type had a big taste difference (so be prepared for potentially getting less preferable tasting pieces) but it was some of the creamier better textured uni we've had in the states. The nigiri had a dreamy texture, buttery and soft without any odd chewy bits. The flavor felt a little lacking. I could have eaten any one of the nigiri and not tasted much distinction between them because there were toppings so not worth it to splurge on pricier cuts when the yellowtail and lean tuna were just as delicious as the fatty tuna. This was a much more classic sushi experience and I'd be interested in trying more of their dishes and nigiri in the future. read more

We were in Austin for work and stumbled across this spot on Yelp. Honestly, some of the best sushi we've had in a while! The restaurant itself was pretty chilly when we first sat down, but the server was super responsive and almost immediately adjusted the temperature and even followed up a couple of times to make sure we were comfortable. The place is a decent size, nicely done inside and clean. We ordered a mix of nigiri, hamachi, and a few rolls. Everything was fresh and flavorful. The king belly especially was like no other. We also got an avocado roll and veggie fried rice for our vegetarian friend, and she was just as happy with her meal. Overall, the food and service were both great. Would definitely come back next time we're in town. read more

Sushi was very fresh and prepared amazingly. Fad was a great sushi chef and the chu toro was perfect

We stopped by on a Thursday around 5:30 pm, just as the dinner rush was starting. There was only one other table seated, so service was impressively fast. Everything arrived within 5-10 minutes, and the staff was very attentive throughout dinner. Parking was easy with plenty of spots available in the large plaza. We tried the hamachi chili, which was generously sauced with a nice crunch on top, definitely a highlight. The karaage was well-fried with great texture, though the accompanying sauce didn't add much. We also ordered two sushi rolls: the zuke salmon, which was crunchy but less citrusy than expected, and the unagi roll. Unfortunately, the menu didn't note that it contained avocado, which my partner is allergic to. I do hope they update the menu for clarity, especially since other rolls list avocado as an ingredient. That was disappointing. While the food was solid overall, nothing stood out enough to warrant a special trip. I do like that you don't need a reservation, that was one of the best things about this place. I would maybe come back if I was in the area. read more

4.5 stars - high quality, attention to detail sushi restaurant with detailed menu and little wait. I have bookmarked this spot for a while and actually drove past here a few times without knowing it is here. Went in on a Friday night without reservation but I did call ahead - total wait time is 40 mins. Ordered a little of everything: seaweed salad, takoyaki, salmon crudo, Hawaiian rolls, unagi donburi, eel roll and yellow fish roll (forget the names) Food was tasty across the board. My personal favorite is the Hawaiann rolls and unagi rice, it is more on the saltier side than what I am used to but it's very flavorful. The fish tastes fresh and firm (in a good way), server was polite. Interior has nice lighting, and cozy, nice wooden chairs and table. Came out to be ~$60 ish per person in April 2025. Would def come back :) read more

My husband and I had lunch here and loved it - highly recommended! It's a family run spot and everything was made with so much care. Our server was so sweet and helpful. We didn't have reservations but were seated right away - it sounds like weekdays around lunchtime aren't busy. It's a casual place, which is a big plus for us. My husband got a ton of nigiri - he loved everything! He worked with our server to pick out a great selection (sorry I don't know all the kinds as a vegetarian but just ask your server what they recommend as that helped steer him in the right direction). He said the fish to rice ratio was perfect, plus the cut and they put perfect toppings and even sauce the rice so the bites are all amazing as is (no soy sauce needed). I'm vegetarian and absolutely loved everything I got! The miso soup was so good, I really love the added mushrooms. And the house salad was fresh and the dressing was SO yummy. I got two rolls - the veggie tempura roll, as well as an avocado cucumber roll with added shiso leaf, both were amazing (so amazing it would be hard for me to order something new next time). This is definitely a spot we will come back to! read more
