    By far the best sashimi I've had recently in Austin. The fish was really fresh as was the Caviar and the Uni. The Agadashi tofu was crispy. The Miso soup was lite and at the same time flavorful. The service was friendly and the food came out fast. The food prep area was exceptionally clean. I will definitely return soon. Honestly I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. We try other sushi restaurants and always compare them to this one. It can't be beat. We keep coming back almost every week...

    This place is legitimately the best in Austin, and there's a lot of competition. The fish here is simply exquisite; the preparations are original, creative and AFFORDABLE. Many of the dishes we've sampled here rival similar dishes we enjoyed in Japan. It's the real deal, with no pretense. Service is quick and genuine every time, especially from Carrie. Just try the appetizer wooden boxes with raw octopus, pickled vegetables and ikura, plus the agedashi tofu and a sashimi sampler and you will see exactly what I'm talking about. Tremendous quality.

    This was the worst service I've ever received in Austin. Waited over a hour for 2 rolls of sushi along with other food items with a table of 7. Some items were forgoten. Server never checked in with our table and was extremely rude. Once we received our rolls, we had to rush to eat since our friends were already finished and ready to leave. Because of this the food didn't even have a chance to be enjoyed. When asked to talk to a manager, our table was further ignored, until he arrived at the table and we were told other people had to wait too. We will never return here.

    I think this place is one of the most affordable sushi places with high quality food. You know it’s good when you see a lot of Asians there 😊 I always chose to sit at the bar where I can see the chef preparing the rolls and sushi boat. It’s satisfying 😊

    This place got very good vegetarian sushi options. Loved the freshness and flavors are the best. We ordered specialty sushi Mopac and l-35 rolls.And pick two sushi options Hibachi rolls and asparagus one. My person favorites are l-35 and Asparagus. Pro tip : Ask for spicy mayo sauce which will add more flavor to your rolls.

    Guys. This place is NY/LA good. The freshest, most delicious sushi joint in Austin that I’ve found. Sara is our favorite waitress because she always remembers my weird, pretentious modifications. I’m truly here weekly, it’s the best! Try the yum yum roll with Cali-Philly inside… trust me, it’s life changing! No joke, this place is awesome and so consistent in vibes, freshness, and deliciousness too.

    I had an extraordinary Japanese feast here with my grandson and was able to introduce him to many new dishes. While everything we ate was definitely delicious, I especially enjoyed the seaweed salad, and the generous portions of perfectly prepared Katsu. The people that work there are very humble, polite, and kindly. All in all it was a perfect experience.

    If I could give this place 10 stars, I would! The sushi is fresh. The sashimi and nigiri were so delicious! The classic rolls like the rainbow and the eel rolls are also great! I would recommend this place id you like fresh sashimi and nigiri. The sushi chefs are wonderful to chat with, and they're friendly. I watched them make the waygu tartare nigiri, and I ordered one. It filled my entire palate with umami flavor. I would come back here again, and maybe try the love boat next time because we saw one beautifully made.

    Loved the food. 😋 Service was good. Everything tasted great. Recommend y'all to come and give it a try. Plates average from $10-$20 pp, but I was HUNGRY. 😂 Hope to bring company next time so I can try and hopefully enjoy their Sake! 😁

    We got edamame, the pork cutlet appetizer, and one of the combination plates to share. All of the food was well prepared and fresh. The wait staff was very nice, and the seats were comfortable. They offer digital and physical menus, but the drink menu is immediately digital, which made it difficult to know what to order when we were sat down. The food was very good, and the almost all of the sushi was soft and easy to eat.

    It was a random dinner before the movie. But the tonkatsu yakisoba tasted so good! And the server was really hospitality! I will be back next time. Then give more specific details about the food. 😆

    Came to IchiUmi since it was very close to the hotel we were staying at. It was super busy. Restaurant has a nice ambience and it was clean. Food was good, but the Karaage chicken lacked flavor. The waiter had forgotten to put that order in. We reminded him and after trying it, we could have definitely skipped it. It was an average experience so I give it a 3 star.

    It's been 5 years since our last visit. Four of us went tonight for late night dinner after long meeting, and all we wanted was sushi and something that we can enjoy. Overall the sashimi sampler and sushi quality was great, California Uni was fresh and sweet. The reason I took one star off, was because our waiter seems to be in his bad mood day, so he wasn't quite friendly when taking our order, which that didn't really bother us too much, only hope he can learn to leave his bad days out of work. Overall I do suggest everyone to try this Sushi restaurant.

    Amazing experience! Five of us came down to ATX from DFW on a whim. For food we decided to each place a name in a hat that we've never been to. Service amazing! Food Amazing! We had mushroom soup, Udon Teriyaki, and lots of sushi! We also had lemon Creme Brule and vanilla mochi

    Pretty nice place! Have plenty of parking areas During weekend, there’s waiting time for about 30 mins so be prepared for that! However, food is delicious and servers are very friendly as well.

    Best sushi we had in Austin so far! One thing we miss the most, moving from Vegas is awesome sushi. This place hits the mark! It's officially our favorite sushi spot we tried so far. The only thing that needs improvement was the menu to select the different sushi needs to be updated with the current menu. (Not a big deal because the waiter asked us "if there was anything we wanted that was not on this menu") 5 stars for the sushi and 5 stars for the service. Thanks for the experience! We will be back soon.

    Most bizarre experience I think I’ve ever had dining. Clearly they need a manager. Sat down to a sticky table. Even dirtier plastic sign placard on the table. Okay. Things happen. Forgivable. Friendly server greets us immediately and takes our order. I order the house Cabernet and was told it’s “absolutely horrible” and she suggested I upgrade, so I upgraded. They may want to repick then. But the medium pick was good. Waitress had some nice input on food. Helpful. There were 4 of us. No appetizers ordered. My brother in law was served his sushi roll first. At 7:30. Ten minutes later none of us were served so we told him to go ahead and eat. At 7:45, 15 minutes later, our son was served. We still had no food. So my brother in law who was trying desperately to eat slowly ordered another roll. Just so he could eat with us. So our son did the same thing after he finished his till and we still had no food. After they ate record slowly to try to eat with us. At 8pm my husband and I still had no food even though we had ordered the exact same roll as our son had that he had already finished and we were told that was the holdup. (??) Our son was served his second roll. He finished it and we still had no food. At 8:13, exactly one hour after my brother-in-law had been served his dish,and 45 minutes after our son was served the same roll we ordered, and after he already ate his second roll, my husband and I were finally served. My brother waited for 15 more minutes for the second roll he had ordered in order to eat with us but by the time we had finished our rolls it had never arrived. So he cancelled it after he had them check on it. And it still wasn’t done. Two of the rolls were served on epoxy wood. Which cannot be put in a dishwasher or sanitized. Then we realized why the table was sticky when we arrived. The sauces just drip right off the wood. When they remove the dishes, they don’t wipe down the table. Ever. Or pick up chopstick wrappers etc. you just get to braise in the goo. Sushi wasn’t bad but the only one I loved was the land and sea. With Wagyu. We didn’t ask for any comps due to everyone at our table having to dine 15 minutes to one hour apart, but we were not offered any either. Seemed to be the norm there. Do be aware, at minimum, that raw fish is being served on epoxy wood planks that cannot go in a dishwasher and there isn’t another plate so diners do eat directly from them. And the sauces also drip onto the table directly. You’ll feel that when you sit down at a new table. As for getting to eat, may luck be forever in your side.

    My family and I have been enjoying Haru Sushi (now called IchiUmi Sushi) for the past three years. I think we discovered them first when the pandemic hit and we wanted to eat fresh quality sushi from the safety of our home. Haru had amazing quality at reasonable prices and offered delicious fish and sides to compliment. As you can see, our family can eat haha and the portions here are very filling. For the bento boxes, they have cute little sides that satisfy your warm, crunchy, and pickle cravings. It's all very well balanced and you will be full, just not always from the sashimi alone. For the sashimi/sushi platters you will ALWAYS be full and satisfied by the sashimi/sushi alone but you will also have many other wonderful side dishes if you want a break from the fish and also works great as lunch for the next day. Some of our favorite sides are the brussel sprouts and the shrimp udon salad. Very delicious and sometimes I just want to order those things to eat even though it is a sushi restaurant. Despite them always changing their names (this is the third name change we have encountered) price has always been very fair for the amount of food you are getting and quality has always been good. I highly recommend this restaurant for celebrations or just a casual nice lunch. The food is very picnic friendly. The only downside is that with dining in, I think the service was just okay. If memory serves me correctly we had one really nice waitress one time and one rude waiter another time.

    Family was craving sushi and Ichiumi was a place I’ve been wanting to try. The reviews are good and the sushi looks good quality. Arrived Saturday around 5:30pm, there was quite a bit of people. We ordered takoyaki and calamari appetizer, and we got the ume platter (3 special rolls and 20 nigiri and it came with tofu and edamame appetizers), and we also got the Hamburg steak and donkatsu over rice. Everything was so good, the tofu was amazing—crunchy and soft in inside, edamame was roasted in some garlic oil, sushi was beautifully made and was fresh, takoyaki was big, the KATSU was SO GOOD. My family enjoyed everything there. The ambiance was wonderful, it has date nights vibes as well, nice lighting and soft music. The place was packed by the time we were leaving at 6:30pm. I want to come back for happy hour next time!

    My daughter and I tried this place for lunch as we were craving sushi and someone had recommended it. Glad we did. Food was good and friendly service.

    The char siu is great value, esp during happy hour. Brussels sprouts and chicken karaage are also good. Kaisen don is a little over $2 a piece, very worth. As is the sashimi sampler. The creme brulee dessert is so-so.

    I travel for work and eat at tons of random sushi joints. This place has some of the tastiest flavor combos I've had as well as very high quality fish. The rest of the menu looked awesome as well. Will definitely be eating here every 6 weeks throughout my travels!
