"Loved it!"So I've always been afraid of sushi, because raw meat just doesn't sound appetizing. My bf is a HUGE fan of sushi & las night talked me into trying it one time. We went to Haiku b/c it was recommended by friends. The restaurant was completely empty on a Tues night, which is a shame, because we both thought it was fantastic! Our waitress was attentive and very knowledgable about the menu, her...

"Haiku in south park meadows"I've been to Haiku many times. The service has always been lacking in " Customer service" except if you sit at the bar. The chefs and the food are amazing. On the other hand, I took my very best friend there today and the service was horrible! " By far the Worst". I told the manager that because of the way she treated my bestfriend" a new comer whom I've raved to about the food " that I was...

"Best sushi in Austin!"I absolutely LOVE this place! They have the best super white tuna and miso soup I have ever had and I have tried a lot of different sushi places, not just in Austin. This is a great place for dinner, and they also have great lunch specials. I would also recommend trying their Passioberry Duo, it is just to die for! This place can be a little pricey, but it is definitely worth it!

"Dont make reservations there!"If you have a large party Mikado will not accommodate you. We tried to book a party of 15 three days in advanced and they initially agreed but then kept calling us trying to get us to change our time. They would go back and forth with the reservation time and they not very accommodating. There are too many other restaurants in Austin that appreciate our business and we are very disappointed...

"Great Hangout!"This is defiantly one of my all-time favorite places to take people that have never been to Austin before! The Staff know whats going on and always are on top of things, the burgers are awesome and there are endless combos of burgers to make!

"Not as good as expected"I expected great... I got Whataburger. Bun was oldish and fell apart. French Fries and onion rings, and shakes are good. The vegetarian burger option is terrible! The person with us who ordered it couldn't eat it because it was so bad. (they did take it off the bill) The service is pretty good.

"ZEN IS AMAZING FAST FOOD FOR SUSHI LOVERS"Ohhhh,...this place is so GOOD. Just plain good, fresh and hot when you need it. The brocolli bowl and chicken is my personal fave. You gotta try the ginger pudding when you are there. It is HEAVEN IN A SPOON!

"Emperor's New Clothes...."I love Japanese food and really TRIED to like Zen, but I'm sorry, I think it just sucks. I know it's economical and all, but the quality of the food I have had there (sushi as well as main-dish items) was about as good as the stuff you get in the supermarket (and not as good as say, the pre-packaged sushi you get at Central Market). I don't see the value in their bland unappealing food. To me...

"So good!"Thundercloud is a very good place to go. The specials every month are amazing....cheap good food, with a smile and a cookie. It is good stuff. I've been to many of the locations and they are good, and consistent. I am surprised they have not gone national!

Rock and Roll, Hot night roll, and Rainbow roll - I go for the rolls. Appetizers are delicious especially, the Avocado Kama, a halved avocado filled with baked seafood and intensified with a tangy sauce. Sushi Japon is an owner-operated business with the most comfortable curved booths by the windows. I love to meet people there and take a long time to eat talking in the booth while ordering...

"terrible service, food not worth the price, terrible ambiance"My husband & I arrived at the restaurant shortly after 7pm on a Friday. The wait to get seated was long, even though the restaurant was empty. Only 6 tables were seated. After we were seated the waitress took at least 15 minutes before greeting us & asking us what beverage we wanted. We kept our cool & patience & treated her with alot of courtesy anyway. What bothered us was that she took the...

"Good Happy Hour"Went to Uchi a couple weeks ago for the 5th or 6th time, but it was my 1st time to go for Happy Hour. They had pretty good happy hour prices. I think the spicy crunchy tuna was $7 and sake is $3... I will definitely be back.

"dissapointment..."the food selection was incredibly small, but definitely not as smaill as the size of their dishes. A $7 appetizer is literally two bite sizes. I spent well over $45 on my dinner alone and still left feeling quite unsatisfied. However, wonderful decor and atmosphere...i just wished they had put some thought into their tiny psuedo-exotic dishes.

"Once great, now slipping!"This used to be my favorite restaurant, but they are slipping. Wine by the glass is an expensive JOKE. I've had bigger portions at free tastings. Last night they were out of our first two entree choices, a fact the server neglected to mention beforehand. (One was a special and it was still early in the evening.) My "stuffed" zucchinis, which I usually like, had NO stuffing. None. Not a...

"A taste of Italy"I used City Search to research restaurants for a recent 5 day stay in Austin. I was impressed with the reviews others gave this restaurant. It did not disappoint. Beginning with the bartender who was so friendly and offered suggestions on the wine and the food and the waiter who made us feel we were the most important people in the restaurant. The food was spectacular...the Duck Bolognese...

"Vespaio-Not so fast"On a recent Thursday night, six of us had dinner at Vespaio. The serice was quite good, but the food was inconsistent. Mine was great but other party members had just okay food. The desserts were not special at all. The noise level is so bad that we could not have a conversation.

"Potato Vodka with a Moonshine Label"First we walked in to an inappropriately dressed hostess, who offended 33% of our group with her strong opinions on a cornicopia of topics. We were not warned about the one bowl of complimentary popcorn of which 33% of our group thought was stale. The temperature was maintained at a steady 58% degrees which offended 100% of our party. Only 66% of our group received a meal with which they were...

"good food, reasonably priced, good service"I have not had a bad meal here and have been dining here regularly, at least once/month, since about 2001. They do need to be a bit more flexible with regard to seating policy, however, there have been times when I arranged to meet friends there when it was not at all busy-- many, many empty tables- yet they refused to seat us until all were present. I can understand that at peak times, but...

"Tha bad quality of Sushi is trumped by an even worse service!!"Ok, we went to this sushi restaurant on Friday night. The place looks very nice, the ambience was good, and the place was pretty busy. We are avid sushi fans, we lived in Japan for years while I was in service and we have a pretty good idea what a sushi should be, and better yet what is NOT good sushi. We ordered 3 different items from the sushi bar and Miso for soup. About 30 seconds after...

"Best margaritas, fabulous happy hour"This place has the best margaritas I've ever had (house rita on the rocks with salt). Also, they have happy hour every day from 4-6, when all appetizers are half price (in addition to drink discounts). Three apps between two people is a meal. So great food, great drinks, and a good price. If you do want something off of their regular dinner menu, nothing on it has ever disappointed - the...

"Expensive Cheap Food ......."I was not impressed with this Eatery at all. Service was bad and if I wanted Black Beans in every Menu item I would have went to Mexico. Don't visit this place if your born and raised Texan. You will be disappointed.

"Wonderful Food"Had the most incredible Valentine's Dinner! Sushi, and Tempura (everything I've had on their menu is great - but I love their Tempura!!!). This place is a little hidden gem. If you want great Sushi and Japanese food, Turn South on Manchaca Rd. from Slaughter and it's on your left facing Manchaca.

Shady Grove is one of my favorite places to visit in Austin. Great food, but even better is the environment. It's a great place to get a meal outside in the shade. Place is awesome.

"Horrible Service"Granted....it was New Year's Day and the restaurant was quite busy. Being in the service industry myself, I usually do not complain about slow, or even, bad service. A salad was served with no utensils and had to be eaten by hand. Drinks were slow to be filled. Dinner was delivered to a five top, again with no silverware. Service was extremely slow in trying to wrap the bill up at the end...
