We went for our anniversary dinner on a Saturday evening and sat at the bar. The place was lively but not packed. We vibed to a chill R&B playlist. Our server was so friendly and attentive. We ordered the Drunken Angel cocktail which was so delicious and also received complimentary champagne. Their special sashimi / nigiri of the night was a delicious snapper. Their wagyu roll was outstanding, but we were just as pleased with our yellowtail scallion and tempura shrimp rolls. We finished with the donuts for dessert. The quality and flavor of each dish was superb. Thank you for making our anniversary dinner perfect. We can’t wait to return.

We love everything about NS! However it gets a bit loud at times and the music could be lowered to help the noise level. Having said that if you can run with the big dogs, we know to stay on the porch! We live downtown and we visit several times a month! Please get more white Pinot Grigio choices. Love the staff suggestions and it’s our favorite place in ATX hands down!

very good food, very good drinks. the staff were super friendly as well and gave excellent recommendations, though service was meh. our water never got refilled, waiters came by infrequently, dishes weren't cleared until several empties were sitting around which is a problem when sitting at a small bar.

The space is really inviting. The fish tasted fresh. I wouldn't say it's the best value. We didn't buy any alcohol or drinks, but the bill was $300 before tip for four of us and we left hungry. Since we don't have big appetites, that was disappointing for the cost. If you're not super hungry, or feel ok spending the equivalent of a car payment for a dinner for four, I'd go here. Otherwise, go to the sushi place down the street for essentially the same meal at half the price, just less cute surroundings.

I was underwhelmed. The service was slightly overbearing. The food was good, but the prices were hard to justify. The server seemed to suggest high ticket items, common but would have appreciated options throughout the menu. We’ve heard from others that it’s good, so maybe just an off night.

Seems that there are a lot of good sushi restaurants in Austin now. Neighborhood Sushi stands out because of Jorge Garcia and the MML hospitality. If you have not had his food, you should try. Most people remember him from the innovative stuff he did at Chinatown (yes, Chinatown), which had a large local following in Central Texas. He has taken his talents to Neighborhood Sushi. We did omakase and it was amazing. The edaname (I know, edaname....) was grilled and had yellow ponzu. Make sure you get the Fluke Roll for something that really shows off Jorge's style. We are regulars and have never been let down. Tip - try to go on the early side (before 7:30) if you want to get time with Jorge and his chefs at the counter or they will get swamped later.

I ordered nigiri, rolls and other apps. The rice of the nigiri was sticky. The grains were glued to each other and the kitchen didn't make the rice right which is arguably the most important component of a nigiri. So disappointing. I've dined here many times and it was such a terrible experience. And the waiter never car to check on us. Only took orders and servers were explaining dishes as they were walking away from our table. Wow

“Wow!” Is all I can say about our experience at Neighborhood Sushi. The quality, freshness and presentation from our cocktail to the food were all quite lovely. We had excellent service as well. We have been to several top Japanese restaurant in Austin and agreed that our experience was in the top 3. Every plate we ordered was great. We will definitely be back!

I will say that I won't give a restaurant under 3 stars; I understand how important ratings are to an establishment having worked in the industry for over 15 years. That said I expected more. We wanted to try something new and with 4.8 stars would have expected that to be the case. Even though we came for Lunch I expect the food and service to be just as good as dinner. It was just okay...So much for that birthday experience.
