The food is amazing and so is the service. My only complain is one of the guys that work there (that I have noticed) has a very bad smell from his armpits. When he brings the food to the table, he leaves his smell. He has dark hair and curls, so if I can smell him I can't believe that the manager of the restaurant or someone else haven't told him anything. It's the 3rd time I smell him. He is a nice guy and very educated, so please just ask him to use deodorant.

Fun spot on S. Congress. I think there is better sushi elsewhere in Austin, but if friends wanted to come here, I'd come back. Missses: The rolls seemed a little overhandled; the rice became kind of mushed together which was not appealing. The tempura this time was a little heavy-handed on the batter. Standouts: The hamachi crudo special was dleightful and the Kakigori dessert is one of the best desserts I've had in Austin. The coconut pandan ice cream is soooo good. The presentation is fun. The 12-year-old at our table was beside herself. Service was great! Not the fastest experience, but I also wasn't in a hurry.

The service was great, and it was a wonderful experience! You must try the ice cream, it's delicious.

The fish is fresh and delicate! The service was impeccable and the atmosphere perfect for a date night or dinner with friends!

Our server Nia was well experienced with the menu and made great recommendations that paired well with the vibe that we were after. Top shelf service. Enjoyed the lunch.

Hmmm . . . so I don't want to speak ill because I love Neighborhood and what it stands for. A cute, trendy, local vibe. Being my 4th visit I wasn't sure what I was expecting, but it did feel a little off. It was a small good bye meal for a dear friend and there was only 3 of us. It seemed louder than normal and it was after happy hour. Tuesday so it wasn't crowded but steady that our server either wasn't vibing with us or our ordering style was throwing her. Either way it was distant and not as engaging as I've experienced before. I feel there were more sushi roll options than what was presented so that got me a little down. I still like the food but it was missing something. The service and food being average I forgot how may $$'s this place has LOL. The cost doesn't bother me but when you appreciate and get what you pay for; in this situation it felt a little lopsided. I STILL HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place as it's a neighborhood gem.

Sushi was spectacular, got a good sake recommendation and had the server pace out Nigiri of his discretion and he delivered

My favorite sushi spot in Austin. So cute inside and amazing service & food. A little pricey but besides that it's perfect!

The food was alright. The maki rolls were not made too well, the flavors were average. I was expecting much more for a 24 dollar sushi roll for example. The sashimi was alright, the fish had a scale but the server ended up discounting it from the bill so I definitely appreciate that. The hand rolls were good but the seaweed was soggy, so it was hard to bite. The service was really great, but the wait time was too long. It took 15+ mins between each sashimi/nigiri/maki order. There were points that all 7 chefs were not doing anything, I assume they were waiting for the rice to cook or something, but it felt like there could have been more urgency. Overall, for the price I think the experience was fair. I was expecting more based on the prices and online ratings.

Amazing experience! Thank you for having us! We enjoyed our visit to Austin. Letter than OC sushi!
Sushi quality was incredible. Will definitely come back when I can get reservations indoors. The outside patio was warm, loud, and uncomfortable if you had to sit on the bench seat.

Delicious sushi that absolutely melts in your mouth in a clean and minimalist aesthetic environment. Be sure to go around the back to enter and try the scallop hand roll!

JP and Tomas took care of my partner and I! Amazing recommendations, great service and, even though we were a bit late and we were still dining near close, everyone was so gracious! We WILL be back!
