The original location is above the Elephant Room on Congress Avenue. The new one is north of the Arboretum, across from the Brick Oven. This Austin eatery provides a nice mix of austerity and comfort. The yellowtail (hamachi) sushi has a subtle, nutty flavor; each bite of the fatty tuna (toro) practically dissolves in your mouth. Service is attentive, and the sushi chefs are quite knowledgeable. While the sushi is outstanding, some of the Japanese dishes sometimes sacrifice innovation for consistency.
