Food was super delicious!! They look like they have a great happy hour. I had the chicken Karaage (OMG DELISH) and the salmon roll.
Came here to celebrate two birthdays (July 11), and upon being seated, we immediately noticed the restaurant was exceptionally warm. We asked our server if something was wrong since the AC didn't seem to be working, and behold, she answered yes--they were having AC issues! Thank goodness it wasn't a typical Texas triple-digit day outside. I started with a neat pour of Suntory (whisky), followed by a refreshing lychee martini, the cucumber sunomono, and the pan-seared duck breast for my main dish. We finished off the night sharing the matcha crème brûlée. The food and drinks themselves were great. However, service was a bit slow overall; I had to ask for the status of my main dish and had to flag our server down when we wanted another round of drinks. Decent ambiance considering the circumstances, but I guess this was just their "off night."
Some of the cheapest sushi you can get in Austin if you come during happy hour: $10 rolls which are interesting and classy. The scallop roll with truffle is insane and can't be missed. I thought the chirachi roll could have been good if it was made with rice, but I found the cucumber wrap distracting. But no matter, still a great deal and I'll definitely be back to try the other maki.
Absolutely incredible experience and food. Our waiter Jackson was so incredible and gave us the best recommendations. He explained the menu to us and tailored his recs to what we were craving. The sushi was so incredible - some of the best I have had in forever. The atmosphere is so cute and perfect for a date night. Dark and moody and great lower volume. So cozy and i would make an effort to come back here.
Went back to tenten and had an incredible time with the girls. We wanted to go find a happy hour but none of the girls could make it before six which is when all Happy hours are over so we have to get creative and figure 1010 on a Tuesday is the perfect spot to be because they have $10 rolls all night. I've been here recently and really enjoyed the Hamachi and the spicy tuna, however, this time around they both felt a little too fishy. They're to roll on the other hand was absolutely mind blowing and did not disappoint. Everybody's absolutely favorite role though was the truffle scallop. It was creamy. It was velvety. It was clean and such a burst of flavor without overwhelming your taste buds too much. Overall, a very good time great service and as always, great food
$10 sushi rolls on Tuesdays - yes please! This was my first visit there even though many people have recommended it to me over the last year. We decided to do a girls night here for sushi and drinks, and had a great time and delicious meal! We arrived right before happy hour ended and got discounted cocktails. We also ordered edamame before happy hour ended. We ordered a bunch of rolls to share, and each one was so good! Such a great deal on Tuesdays! Our favorite was definitely with the negi toro (ginger, pickled radish and mint). I also really loved the scallop with truffle and yuzu! We loved trying to many different rolls, and I can't wait to go back! 5 stars!
Had a nice experience here. The atmosphere was lovely, the food was excellent and well worth the price, and I especially enjoyed the karaage, edamame, and even the delicious cucumber water. Service was great at first, though it became slightly harder to get our server's attention toward the end. Still, it didn't detract from the experience, I'd come back!
Rating: 3.8/5 [dine in] Honestly an overpriced Japanese restaurant, and there are much better places in Austin. The small tapas-style plates for sharing add up quickly. We visited during happy hour with friends and also returned on a separate date night at regular pricing. Service is good and the ambiance is nice, but the food was just okay. I prefer Uchi or Uchiko over Tenten. The cocktails are also hit or miss. If you want to try this place, definitely go during happy hour. During happy hour, we tried the Hamachi, King Salmon, Spicy Tuna, Negi Toro, and Scallop Makis ($10 HH), and the King Salmon was my favorite. Kyoto Blush ($10 HH): A very sweet cocktail that tastes like it has no alcohol in it. Fig Old Fashioned ($10): Better than the Kyoto Blush and not overpowering. Sake Flight ($12): Comes with three 2 oz pours to sample - Nihon Sakari, Kiku Masamune, and Shiokawa Yamahai 'Cowboy'. I'm not a sake person, but think this is a great flight for beginners or for introducing someone to sake. Charred Edamame ($8 HH): I didn't get to try it, but the whole table loved it. Chicken Karaage ($8 HH): Good and worth ordering as an appetizer. Goto's Sakura Martini ($17): Tastes almost like straight alcohol with nothing sweet or floral about it. I could not get through more than a few sips. Yuzu Picanta ($17): Tequila, sake, pineapple, and yuzu. This tasted much better than the Goto's Sakura Martini. Daikon Pork Belly ($14): Interesting and worth trying. The daikon balances out the richness of the pork belly nicely. Wagyu Taco (2 for $24): Tiny, and reminded me of Toca Madera. Miso Roasted Beets ($14): One of their seasonal specials. Good, but not as amazing as our waitress made it out to be. My husband also had the A5 Wagyu Nigiri ($14), Uni Santa Barbara Nigiri ($11), Bluefin O-toro Nigiri ($12), Salmon Toro Nigiri ($5.50), and Hamachi Carpaccio ($28).
We had a fantastic night and savored every dish that was served. To our lucky surprise we came during happy hour, so we ordered many things off of the happy hour menu. 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 always think that is such a sweet gesture.
We recently came here for our friend's birthday dinner event, and I was blown away by the indoor ambiance! It's an overall dimly lit restaurant with some unique lighting in different parts of the area. They have this terrestrial wall (made up of rocks and greenery) that was particularly impressive and beautiful! Our waiter provided incredible service, and even surprised our group with a generous amount of paloma shots for the birthday occasion! As for the food: (1) Chicken Karaage: Probably one of my favorite dishes of the night! The combination of togarashi kewpie and nori honey went very well with the fried chicken pieces. (2) Brussels Sprouts: Nicely charred with a generous amount of sauce, which was both tangy and had a little spicy aftertaste. (3) Spicy Tuna Maki Roll: My least favorite of the night because overall it did not stand out to me, and I personally didn't enjoy the bits of quinoa on the roll as much as I wish I did. (4) King Salmon Maki Roll: My personal favorite roll of the night. The chili garlic sauce complimented well with the rest of the ingredients. (5): A5 Wagyu Maki Roll: I enjoyed the overall combination of the flavors, but I wish the onion topping was a bit more infused with the dish and that the wagyu was more medium rare.
Lovely spot for date night. We got: -hamachi crudo (truffle on top was great - definitely an interesting take) -wagyu roll -salmon toro (my fav) -otoro (great size) -madai -sake -chicken karaage (fried, light flavor, good mayo) While it leans a little more pricy than other establishments in this category, it's well worth it for the service and quality of fish. I really need to comeback for their true wagyu steaks! The roll just gave me a little hint of it.
4.5 Stars Beautiful stylish sexy interior, a solid Happy Hour, and high quality Japanese fare. HH - Drinks are $10, Maki are $10, and small bites are $8. The Edamame ($8), Karaage ($8), & cucumber salad ($8) were fine, but didn't blow me away. The Wagyu Sando ($24) - omg, this was so rich and juicy. We split it between 4 people and even that was a lot. The chirashi Maki ($10) was fresh and beautiful, and the Yuzu Scallop ($10) was zingy and heavy on the truffle. Overall, it was a wonderful time. Staff were super nice :)
Tenten has one of my favorite sushi happy hours in Austin, and I keep coming back for a few specific menu items. My favorite maki rolls are the scallop chirashi and the A5, but the scallop maki is the one I crave most--it's so good. Their lychee martini is also delicious and not overly sweet. The Kyoto Blush, on the other hand, was far too sweet for me, so I wouldn't order that one again. I've tried a few other dishes as well. The wagyu sando wasn't quite what I expected, since the meat had more of a patty-like texture that I didn't think paired especially well with the milk bread. The wagyu donburi had a nice layer of crispy rice at the bottom after mixing, but there were too many sour and pickled components, which threw off the balance of the dish a little. Overall, Tenten is a solid spot, especially once you know which menu items you like. Service can be a bit hit or miss, but nothing bad enough to keep me from coming back.

Hi Priscilla,…
I was in Austin last weekend during the deep freeze and winter storm. Found this place on Yelp in downtown Austin and decided to give it a try. Our waitress was super friendly and great. We liked the vibes and ambiance of the restaurant. Since it was so cold outside we decided to warm up with some miso soup first. Unfortunately, the soup was way too salty. We had to add some water to it so we could drink it. The nigiri sushi was delicious and fresh. We also liked the truffle scallop roll. It was topped with freshly shaved truffle which was a nice touch. We weren't big fans of the futomaki as it had a lot going on and the flavor was overpowered with some sort of mint or cilantro in it. Overall it was a good meal on a super cold winter day. It is a bit pricy but I guess that is understandable for Japanese food in downtown Austin. read more

TenTen is a great choice for date night or girls night. It has a cool, hip vibe with soft music and dim lighting. The staff is very eager to please. The food overall was good not great. We absolutely loved the tuna gyoza tacos (you must love truffle) and hamachi carpaccio appetizers. The pork belly was good but not as tender as I prefer. The sea bass, which was highly recommended by our server, is a Japanese bass not Chilean. It didn't have that light, smooth taste you would expect. The sashimi was really good. I do recommend going there, it's a nice place and they have many creative cocktails. read more
For the price point, this place really just didn't do it for me. It's definitely more of a social/drinking place, because the food menu is more limited (compared to Uchi, Soto, Haru, etc.) - but it makes sense given its location on 6th St. It would be a great date night spot due to its aesthetic and location. We had a reservation and were sat promptly, and greeted with complimentary glasses of champagne, which was both surprising and nice. The service was extremely efficient. We ordered 7 items and it all came out within 5 mins. of ordering. I think in total we were in and out of the restaurant in under 45 mins.! Food ratings: - Brussel sprouts (3/5): These were good but nothing crazy. A good sweet and savory balance. - Miso soup (2/5): Mostly just got this to have something help fill us up. Pretty basic, maybe even a little bland. But what can you expect. - Nigiri (otoro + salmon belly; 4/5): Probably the best bites we ordered. Pricy but worth it. Pretty fresh and delightful. - Scallop maki (3/5): For $18 it was just okay. Kind of needed something else to elevate the flavor. - Toro maki (3/5): Again, it was decent but nothing mind blowing. Very mediocre. - Chirashi maki (4/5): Easily the best maki we ordered. Had the most flavor. We got it with the traditional rice and seaweed as opposed to the cucumber it comes in (on the menu). Overall, it was an enjoyable experience, but I don't think I have any desire to return. There are just too many other competitive sushi spots in the city that would beat this one out, in my opinion (when it comes to price point/value and creativity/flavor). read more

Ten ten was 10/10! Almost comparable to Uchi I felt. I set reservations for 6:30pm and we came early around 5:40pm and was seated immediately. Wasn't as pack as well but instead of making us sit at the lounge we were able to sit at the dining area. All servers and waiters were knowledgeable. The waiter did give us some recommendations, but we didn't choose everything he mentioned. He gave me confidence in my order though. The food came out super quick and they were all pretty good. --Iberico Pork Belly (3/5) - The pork belly was in small strips braised til tender. It was more on the salty side and paired well with the watermelon to balance out the savory-ness. It was not all that though, reminded me of the Vietnamese dish "thit kho" --Hamachi Carpaccio (5/5) - Super good! Fresh hamachi dish that was so refreshing. Yuzu sauce, topped with sliced truffle and some sort of crunchy peppers that I took off, but my husband liked the peppers. --Shima Aji Nigiri (5/5) - A firm white fish that was amazing, there was a citrus zest on it and they over did it with salt but I still enjoyed it. All Nigiri comes in 2 pieces btw! --Hamachi Toro Nigiri (5/5) - My favorite nigiri of the night, the fish was more on the softer side since it's the belly of the hamachi. Topped with robata salt that boosted the flavor of the fish. --Salmon Toro Nigiri (4/5) - Tasted like regular salmon, nothing too great about it. It was topped with a slice of tomato and roe. --A5 Wagyu Nigiri (5/5) - So soft and tender. Most sushi places have a5 wagyu and usually it's very chewy but I felt like this melted in your mouth. Amazing flavor, cooked just perfecting slightly seared on the top. --Scallop Maki (5/5) - My favorite roll of the night. The scallop did not have the mushy slimy taste as other sushi restaurants would. It was a little more firm due to the citrus that kind of "cooks" it but not really. Also had yuzu and truffle on it. AMAZING! --Chirashi Maki (5/5) - Riceless roll, with hamachi, snow crabs, and salmon. I took out the tuna since I am pregnant and cannot eat the tuna unfortunately. It was a refreshing roll that doesn't make it feel too much or too heavy since there are a lot of proteins in the roll. My second favorite roll of the night. --Hamachi Maki (3.5/5) I was not a fan of the relish jalapeño on this. I thought it would be more refreshing and citrusy but it wasn't really. The other hamachi items were way better. I would pass. Great experience, great food, great ambiance. I would definitely come back here again if and when we're in town. It was also more on the pricey side like Uchi but it was worth it. read more
Greeted by friendly hosts and sat per our reservation request at a booth in the bar. Our waiter was nice but seemed somewhat distracted at times. The restaurant was dimly lit but intentionally so. It, like the unique and modern decorations, added to the ambience. The menu was missing several items we were excited to try, which was disappointing, but we gladly accepted the mushroom maki and brussel sprouts as consolation. The maki was a refreshing sushi roll - light and tasty. Brussel sprouts were delish. The chicken karaage was good, but mostly fancy chicken nuggets. My partner, who does not typically drink tequila, ordered the ume picante cocktail and loved it. I, too, enjoyed it, but at $18, we would not have ordered another. Parking: Valet is $12 across the street. Not many other reasonable options in downtown. Overall, a solid 3.5. read more

Hi Charlotte,…
The ambiance is perfect for a date night. Very low lighting and peaceful/upscale inside. The food presentation was beautiful. Food portion was so small for the price! If it wasn't for the happy hour menu, I don't know if it's worth it. I thought the negitoro was way too salty. I enjoyed the Unagi roll more. The Karaage was perfect. The sauce was sweet and creamy, definitely recommend it! Great service. Attentive and the orders came out quickly. read more
Immediately upon walking in, loved the overall ambiance. A good mix of privacy, natural light, with an upscale yet laidback vibe. The food was delicious. Every bite. The salmon, could use a tad bit more moisture, but the octopus was well balanced, the chicken tender and juicy, and of course the drinks were exactly how our server described. I'm a big fan of a informed team member, and the service was immaculate. He even recognized us from their sister restaurant, The Well. Great food, great drinks, great vibes. read more

Visited this spot after Drake's recent appearance, and the vibe easily gets a 5-star rating - fantastic music, and the interior is dope. It's the go-to spot if you're tired of the overly casual places around here. A word to the wise: dress up. Don't be that techie in a Christmas sweater while your date is rocking Louboutins. But I digress. The food is a bit overhyped. This isn't top-tier sushi, and it doesn't surpass other high-end omakase spots in NY, despite what some reviewers claim. It's good, and the drinks are great. The toro tuna tartare stood out as delicious. However, the rolls and nigiri were just decent, except for the salmon - my wife couldn't even swallow it. Uni from California was alright, but it can't compete with Japanese imports. In essence, it's a solid local sushi spot with an amazing vibe. It's great for a night out with the girls, but let's not elevate it to the epitome of high-end sushi. Most places in Austin haven't reached that level yet; we need more competition from chefs with Michelin star-worthy attention to detail who won't settle for mediocrity in the kitchen before Austin takes it up a notch. read more
Date night spot! Dark ambiance. They have delicious nigiri. Fish tasted fresh and rice was perfect. We also enjoyed the charred hamachi Kama but weren't huge fans of the sweet sauce that coated it. Wish it was a little less sweet. The hamachi carpaccio with black truffle is a must for appetizer. Make reservation ahead of time. read more

Came here an hour before closing for late dinner. Because of that a lot of things were not available on the menu. I really came to try their yellow tail my cousin raves about but they didn't have anymore. We tried multiple rolls out favorite was the scallop roll. Very very flavorful and I hear it's the same sauce they use for the yellow tail. Spicy tuna roll was good. Shrimp tempura roll I could of passed on and I forgot the name of the last roll but it was good as well. The star of the show was the charred edamame. The sauce they use is a Smokey sweet but it was sooo good. We also got the crispy octopus ( not pictured) next time we will pass on that. It wasn't seasoned well so it really lacked flavor in my opinion. We also ordered a chicken dish that was on the shareable s side of the menu (also not pictured) that was good as well. We also ordered Brussels sprouts which were good as well. We paired all this with a few cocktails. The one pictured was with gin and topped with Prosecco. We also got a bottle of sake to share with the table. Both were good. Service was great. Food came out rather quick and customer service was very good. Just didn't like that everything was not available. Ambiance was romantic and very vibey on there with low lighting, sexy music. It was def a vibe. This place is not cheap. All we had ran us over a little over $200 but derive was good as well as the good. read more

I made a reservation for our lunch, and we were seated as soon as we checked in at the front of the house. I had 2 cocktails over the course of our meal, and both were amazing. The gyoza tacos were crispy and light with delectably seasoned tuna inside and garnished with micro greens. I ordered the Iberico pork rice bowl. The pork had a crisp breading and was drizzled with a savory sauce. It was tender and perfectly cooked. I loved the tart pickled cabbage that was served with it. It was a perfect complement to the richness of the pork. The rice was well seasoned, and the green onion was in little crunchy spirals, which were delicious and fun. The restaurant is elegantly decorated with lots of windows bringing in natural light. It's cozy without being small. A perfect place for an intimate Friday lunch. read more

I came here to celebrate my boyfriends birthday and - WOW. Everything was soooo good!! From the drinks to the food and the service was amazing too! We went around 5:30pm on a tuesday and as soon as you walk in the vibes are *chefs kiss*. We got seated at one of the booths and we started off with the happy hour hand rolls (spicy tuna and a5 wagyu). Both hand rolls were good but I preferred the spicy tuna one! Wagyu one was a little salty and the wagyu was chopped up in small pieces but still yummy! My favorite dish was the hamachi carpaccio - OMG I would literally die for this dish. The flavors of the truffle, the peppercorns, the sauce, and the hamachi itself was super fresh and ugh it was just so good you HAVE to get it! Its definitely worth the price, $25 but its so good we ordered it twice :') We also got an assortment of nigiris - hamachi, hamachi toro, toro, sake, madai, uni, and a5 wagyu. All were suuper good but my favorites were the madai, toro, and a5 wagyu!!! As for the drinks we got our first two on HH so only $15 for two drinks! We got the ume picante and lychee martini. Preferred the lychee martini but both were good! My favorite drink was the shikoki spritz!! Its this yuzu/lavender cocktail thats SO good with just the right amount of sweetness. They also gave us a free matcha creme brulee for my boyfriends birthday and of course.. this was also DELICIOUS. Overall, definitely one of my favorite and top sushi places in austin!! Will be back for sure :) read more
It was my second time coming here. I tried the lunch special on a Friday. Food was very fresh, tasty and well presented. However, I would not order the veggie bowl again. It is not worth $16. Maki was good. My most favorite was the hand roll flight. I would recommend this place for a special occasion or a date since interior and ambiance are very pleasant, relaxing, and soothing. Service was very friendly and efficient, but for lunch on an empty stomach, I would probably go somewhere a little more filling. read more

10/10 - Wagyu nigiri & quail egg nigiri with the lychee martini - Wagyu gyoza tacos If I could describe this restaurant, it would be like the scene in Ratatouille when Remy combines the grape and cheese, and an explosion of flavors happen in his mouth. This shit was so good, and I highly recommend it. TenTen is Austin's take on a modern Japanese steakhouse and they do a great job! Good food, good drank, good vibes n all! It is for sure a food experience that I will never forget! Instagram: @marcoeatinggood read more
Wow! This is definitely one of our favorite Japanese restaurants in Austin so far. Not only was the service amazing, the drinks were quite tasty and the premium nigiris all had their own unique flavor/spin to it. We also really liked how they served us fresh wasabi and ginger (which i think were made in-house). If you are a truffle lover like me, the hamachi carpaccio with truffles and the quail egg nigiri is a must try. Both tasted very truffle-y and had great texture. Both dishes were like a party in my mouth. The o-toro nigiri is also highly recommended if you want that melt in your mouth buttery goodness. Overall, although this restaurant is slightly more expensive than your typical Japanese restaurants, the quality of their ingredients and the uniqueness of their dishes is definitely worth every extra dollar. Although I didn't dress up (oopsies), this is the perfect restaurant for date night or night out with friends. read more
We went at 5pm to sample the Happy Hour menu- it had lots of great choices! We sampled three hand rolls (2 for $9)-the Wagyu tartare, spicy salmon and the scallop truffle- all delicious with the wagyu as the front runner! Tuna Gyoza tacos were everyone's favorite- crispy and yummy! (2 for $9). Off the regular menu, we shared the bbq toro maki and the hamachi maki- excellent choices! The restaurant is spacious and well decorated but also allows privacy when seated. Jae, our server, went above any beyond recommending favorites and discussing everything food and restaurant related in Austin- still craving more! We will be back! read more
This place exceeded our expectations. The food is delicious and the draaanks are top notch. The customer service was amazing. I love the open kitchen and the feel and vibe of this place. It's a nice date night spot in Austin. So beautiful and an amazing experience. 10/10 recommend. The Tina tacos were one of my top recommendations for food. read more

We had a stellar experience during our first visit to TenTen. We took recommendations from our waitress for the entirety of our meal, and it was a great strategy! We ended up with Waygu Gyoza tacos, shishitoa and tuna Crudo to start, then shared the waygu strip. The waygu tacos we could have ordered seconds on, and the yuzu ponzu with the shishitos provided a great, unique flavor profile. If you like spicy, don't miss those! read more
I honestly wasn't that impressed with TenTen. It's a higher end sushi restaurant, but their sushi was just okay. My friend and I came during happy hour, but perhaps the move was to order off their regular menu because it seems like a lot of people have had really positive experiences here. None of their handrolls were particularly memorable, and their nigiri was a bit flavorless. I do want to come back and try their sushi again because I'm a huge sushi fan, and I know they hold a lot of potential. However, my one visit wasn't that great. read more

I had high expectations for this place, but honestly, I was not impressed. Especially for the price and how "upscale" it's supposed to be. The interior definitely felt upscale - a good ambiance for date nights or celebrations. We came here for happy hour, but the options weren't great so we actually ended up ordering some stuff off the regular menu. Tried to give it a chance, but the things we tried fell flat. The one thing about these kinds of places is when they put too much sauce on the "fresh" fish, then you know it's likely not going to be as fresh. This is understandable since it is Texas, but it's not like there aren't any places with better fresh sushi and for way better prices. Service was pretty good, but the servers didn't seem to be aware of the updates on the menu. read more
WOW, this Japanese restaurant is just wow! It was such a great experience with perfect service and food! We made a reservation in advance and parked across the street for valet ($15?). I'm not sure what it would look like if you visit during the day (It opens at 4:30pm by the way), but when we got there for dinner, inside was very dark. Definitely perfect for romantic date or anniversaries, but will be great for girls' night out as well. It gives high-end dining vibes for sure! They have nice starters like edamame, cucumber sunomono, veggie tempura, karate, tacos, etc. They also have good selection of sushi and sashimi. I started with a cocktail which was so refreshing and fresh oysters served with some seaweed salad. We also got gyoza tacos as a starter, it has grilled (or baked) chu-toro tuna inside and it was absolutely delicious!!! We also had some yakitori (grilled skewers) and some sushi as well as their famous Wagyu steak. It was perfectly cooked, just melt in my mouth, the grilled vegetables as a side was also SO yummy! After that we had some GREAT sushi such as Toro sushi, O-toro sushi, O-toro with caviar Uni, quail egg with wagyu and OH MAN... all of them were on another level for sure. Did we spend a lot here? Yes, was it worth it? ABSOLUTLY! If you're looking for a nice Japanese dining in Austin or if you're visiting Austin and feel like having great food, you must visit this place for sure! (Be sure to make a reservation!) read more

Service felt rushed - the host was rude. He also seated a group that arrived 10 mins after us. And we didn't get seated until 15 mins past our reservation time. Waitress was ok but she also seemed rushed and didn't feel like there was much service. Our drinks arrived too late. Food was amazing but the place felt too crowded and there wasn't much service for the price you pay. read more

Amazing experience at Tenten. Went for my boyfriends birthday and they brought us complimentary Prosecco and dessert. We were in the mood for very fresh and unique sushi and it did not disappoint. In the pics is the salmon, spicy tuna, scallop, and hamachi roll. The edamame was also so delicious... and it's only edamame! But they have a special sauce on it and it is charred. Lastly, our waiter was amazing. Frequently checking in, food was very timely, and gave excellent recommendations. Very good for a nice date or a birthday, but be ready to spend the money! read more

Thank you for the 5 star review and sharing those photos!
Downtown restaurant with cool ambience. Happy hour is 5-6pm daily, specials are half off all specialty cocktails, wine, sake, and house spirits. They also have a decent amount of food specials during happy hour (few dollars off regular price menu). We mostly ordered from the happy hour menu which included hand rolls, snacks, and small plates. Everything was good, chicken karaage was different than you'd expect. The chicken appeared cubed, but was still really tasty. Enjoyed both handrolls, would pick the a5 wagyu again if I had to choose one. I loved the crunch of the crispy potato on top. Parking is a hit or miss, street parking if you can find it - it was easier around this time (~5pm) before the real dinner rush. You may just have to park a few blocks down. read more
Cool ambiance ruined by another guest rubbing her bare feet on her date. Absolutely disgusting. Asked to be moved to another seat. So awkward and annoying that people do this stuff in public. No one wants to see your bare feet, let alone in a fancy restaurant environment. So rude and obnoxious. Anyway, not sure if it was because the feet ruined my appetite or not, but I wasn't too impressed with the sushi rolls I ordered. Besides being overpriced for how small of an amount of fish was in them, they didn't taste too appealing. I feel the ambiance here is fantastic and it would be a great date spot but I wasn't impressed with the food, or pricing on their menu. After playing musical chairs to avoid the barefoot lady, I ended up having to sit at the bar and there were a couple of guys playing YouTube videos on their phone with the audio up competing with the restaurant music, and no servers or bartenders said anything, which further ruined the vibe. read more

Hi Friends! Is this a good place to take my 26 year old son and his girlfriend for his birthday... for Happy Hour? Good dessert? Thanks in advance!
Yes! I think it's a great place for happy hour. Their happy menu hour consists of half off drinks, $6 small appetizers, $9 large appetizers, and $9 hand rolls which comes with two per order. They also have multiple options to choose from for dessert.
What time is Happy Hour?
Hi Tara, Happy hour is 4:30pm - 6:00pm Monday through Friday!
