Kemuri Tatsu-Ya Reviews
Everything was good, but best brisket ever…
Finally making a review for this place. If I could I would give 4.5 rating due mainly the portions to cost ratio. This is probably the most expensive barbecue place in Austin based on amount of meat. However, I think the unique concept of the restaurant and dishes make up for it. Everything is small shareable. I honestly recommend buying things in rounds because some do the dishes come out fast compared to your expected apps.

This has quickly become the first spot I take people when they’re visiting from out of town. Mary and the team treat us so well every time and provide an outstanding experience. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Kemuri Tatsu-Ya is a restaurant that combines izakaya sensibilities with Central Texas flavors. The menu features playful and creative dishes, with standouts like the in-house cornbread, karaage with a perfect crust, and unique hot pockets. The Japanese BBQ fusion is showcased in options like the smoky ribs with yuzu crema, and the Boat, a chefs' choice mix of Smokehouse options. The tofu pockets are highlighted as savory and delicious, with a cheese crust that adds a pop of umami. While the hot sauce and chicken wings are described as solid, the pork belly and BBQ eel remain noted as standouts. Guests have praised the incredible food and drinks, and the knowledgeable servers who offer fun and luxurious dining experiences. There is limited parking, but street parking is available, which is common in the area.
