    The best sushi in Austin Chefs Elvin and Fidel after so skilled Wait staff Kira and Ben are so knowledgeable

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Lunch specials from the Sushi Bar

    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.

    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!!!

    food here was delicious!!!! we got the hamachi appetizer, madai nigiri, gary roll, and matcha tres leches ... all of which were fantastic. service and ambiance were great, also the music was great - whoever manages the playlist knows the good stuff.

    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.

    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.

    The chef customer made me my own plate and boy did they not let me down. The food was to die for. Absolutely amazing. Lana

    nigiri (uni, tamago, unagi)
    Rachel B.

    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.

    My favorite sushi spot in Austin. The highest quality fish on the best rice. Always has different fish to try. All quality. Good sushi is that simple yet most places don't get it right. If you're looking for tradition Japanese where it's all about the quality of the fish and rice this is the spot. Oh and the hospitality and service is on point. Trust, come here

    Darnah M.

    Really high quality fish and flavor execution in a really beautiful restaurant space. Greeted with kindness and a smile. Super authentic. Real deal sushi chefs. Highlights were Hamachi Chilli, pork fried rice, the nigiri was outstanding, and the Tastumi Maki roll was so lovely! Thanks to Tiffany and Chef Elvin for a memorable and delicious dinner to close out February.

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.

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.
