    Not great for big groups. Slow service. Lack of attention. Dirty bathrooms. But the food was good when it finally came out, and although slow, the staff was nice and not rude.

    We went to Sushi Zushi with an Open Table reservation and was told that this restaurant does not take reservations. Me and the rest of the party were extremely disappointed. We don’t understand why having your restaurant on open table and not being able to take those reservations makes sense. They told us we had to be put on the waitlist to be seated. It’s frustrating because we came here to celebrate my friends birthday and I had to frantically figure out what other restaurant would take us. The hostess said there was nothing she could do which was very cold and not accommodating to our situation at all. I would give 0 stars if I could.

    I showed up for my reservation on time. There was no one at the front of the house and we were ignored for about 10-15 minutes. All of the other patrons appeared to be asking about why their food was taking so long and they were clearly understaffed. We left and ate elsewhere before anyone acknowledged us.

    Decor is old and tired. Service was pretty slow with only 1 waiter servicing the entire restaurant which was almost empty. The sake was ok. Fish was not fresh; weird colors, strong fishy smell, sloppy presentation, taste was a step or 2 down from grocery store prepackaged sushi. It was pretty cheap and easy to get a last minute table, but everybody in our group agreed we would not be coming back.

    Some dishes were better than others. Toro was good but took a long time. Wish it had come out first before I got full on the summer roll which was meh. They didn’t have Topo Chico either. Strange for Austin. I know that’s picky but it’s my review.

    Food is always amazing, but the new waitstaff is slow and not trained very well. I thought this may have been a one time occurrence, but returned after a couple of times and it has now been like this consistently.

    We had a Friday night reservation and were seated right away. It took a while for our waitress to come by and get drink orders but she was helpful with recommendations on drinks and food. We started with spicy edamame which were so good and very unique. They’re charred in a thick soy sauce and had a good level of heat. We had two sushi rolls and the tofu udon dish. All were very good but not mind-blowing. We saved room for dessert and tried the banana wontons. So delicious! Service was a bit slow but not terrible. Overall good food but not super memorable. They haves huge menu with choices for all types of diners.

    Came for New Years Eve. We had reservations, we arrived 8 minutes late and they still hadn’t put our table together. We sat for 40 minutes before our food order was taken. Then waited at least another 40 minutes for the food to come out. Our waiter seemed to be waiting on way too many tables so I’m assuming they were just understaffed. Just a disappointing experience.

    Food - Amazing! Fresh & Flavorful! Price - on point & reasonable. Cocktails & Service - Superb! Ambiance & Noise is my only complaint. We were 1st in for lunch & music was WAY TOO LOUD. Service girl was sweet to put us in far booth where there was no speaker overhead. If music doesn’t bug you you’re fine. If you want top quality sushi - this is the place! Beyond yummy! BUT WHY do restaurants play music at all is beyond me. If your paying top dollar for food you want a relaxing atmosphere-not loud hip hop like a burger joint. My only complaint is turn off the music & let your food do the work - it was outstanding- DONT cheapen the experience with loud music.

    Super disappointing. While staff were very nice people, they seriously need training in how to serve paying customers. You can probably get better sushi at gas station... very subpar fish in all respects!!!! While prices might entice you, don’t be fooled. Find a place that values quality ingredients and customers

    One of the best sushi restaurants in Austin! We were a little annoyed upon arriving that the hostess didn't have our reservation even though we had it on our open table app and got a confirmation email. So I don't know what was wrong with their system. But the food was wonderful. Will be back

    We arrived at 6:50 and were brought to the table by 6:53. The host said it would be last call for happy hour and it ends in 7 min. We ordered immediately knowing this. When the bill came, no happy hour pricing. Server told me it was 7:01 when she entered it and the computer automatically entered regular pricing. I had to argue with her that we ordered before 7. She had to get approval to give us happy hour pricing.

    Service was really bad. We walked in from the parking garage, making our way to the front of the Resto to be seated. Waiting a little the host sat us down and said the waitress would be right with is. It was a LONG wait for the waitress who arrived and was rushing to get drink orders. We were ready to order and did so. Food came, I ordered the Sashimi sampler and a roll. The roll was quite tasty, the sashimi was horrible. I mentioned to the waitress that the sashimi wasn’t very good. I think (?) she acknowledged me but I’m not sure. My son ordered another roll, took a while. After it arrived , he finished I had to waive down the waitress for the check. Double jeopardy as I see it. Poor see but really bad food and no concern at all, no thanks.

    I will not, once the host tells you that your order will be put behind to go orders and you have reservations to begin with I am not so sure I'm recommending that to anyone.

    The server knew what sushi rolls to get. We got those and others. The others were awful. The rolls were premade and tasted like they had been refrigerated and precut. The 2 that the server suggested were good.

    Food was great, very consistent! Great service. We sat in the back room. This is the second time we have hosted a large group back there... This room could be a really great private/semi private room, however right now it feels a bit like an employee break room. This won't keep us from coming back, just a suggestion.

    Terrible. No host. Stood there with another guest waiting for a while to be seated. Ordered an old fashioned. It was just one block of ice with almost no actual drink. Sent that back. Then the waiter dropped his pen in our fried dumplings and picked it up without offering to replace it. Sushi was eh at best.

    The food was great! Our waitress was a sweetheart and was very attentive. We ended up sitting at the sushi bar and the chefs behind the counter were awesome. I definitely recommend the Cosimo sushi roll, it was amazing with the perfect level of spice. We will definitely be coming by back. We loved it here.
