Japanese Restaurant · Rosedale · 181 tips and reviews
Mike Winston: Truly as great as everyone says. The menu is fully loaded with innovative twists on Japanese classics. Don't miss the ceviches, Hot Rock, & Jar Jar Duck and read all about it on WinstonWanders below!! Read more.
Austin Chronicle: A trip to Uchiko is a treat for the senses, with creative flavor pairings in dishes like rosemary-smoked duck with candied citrus or pork-belly-and-egg sushi. Decor is almost too beautiful to look at. Read more.
Kyle Bunch: The P-38 roll is epic, the Hot Rock is fantastic when you're looking for a non-fish option, and the Fried Milk (pictured) is the best dessert in Austin, and quite possibly all of America.

ℳ𝒶𝓎♍: An Austin staple since1952. Fantastic and fresh food. Try the nachos, fajitas, and the fresh homemade tortillas both corn & flour. The Bon Armstrong dip is amazing. For a drink go for the TKO martini

Sushi Restaurant · 4 tips and reviews
Joel Goodman: One of the best meals I've had in Austin. Worth the high cost and limited ticketing.
Jody Ferguson: Was a solid meal, especially the sushi. The service was impeccable. But there were 2-3 dishes that missed the mark. I just don’t believe it’s worth the $150 per person price. Kome more satisfying.
Jun Kwon: Best Japanese Omakase in Texas

Mediterranean Restaurant · Downtown Austin · 3 tips and reviews
AmateurConcierge: Pretty, pretty good Mediterranean themed spot - lovely interior. At brunch I’d suggest the spanakopita benedict.
Julie Lack: Get the dumplings!! Ignore the rest of the menu. Dumplings and cocktails only.
Rania: Beautiful indoor setting. It’s more of a mishmash of Mediterranean food (from Moroccan to Greek to Levant dishes). Prices are relatively high. Expect additional food + “wellness” tax on final bill
Markus Impola: Awesome modern loft style hotel in the heart of the domain! Free valet and a nice pool!
Esteban Baradin: Great service, rooms are clean, beds are comfortable.
Andrew Hall: Avoid room numbers ending 11, 12 or 13 as the elevator equipment is noisy. Otherwise great hotel.
Brodie Brown: Use valet parking. You'll be glad you did.
Jamie Iacobucci: So many restaurants, bars, cafes to choose from…and the smells of bbq, Tex-mex and pizza are all around!! Arrive early for your flight and enjoy every minute of this great airport!
Baratunde: Get downtown in 17 mins for just $1. Take the Cap Metro airport flyer bus #100. stop is at the front of passenger pickup
