Reviews for Komé: Sushi Kitchen in Austin, TX
I was a bit hesitant to try Kome since it looks like a Japanese fusion restaurant. Instead, they serve authentic Japanese... flavors. The nigiri is so great. The little seasoning on top of the nigiri amazed me. Nevertheless, my most fav is Okonomiyaki.Please try it if you come! Read more
The place is small but the wait is worth it. The food is delicious and the service very friendly. The ambience is also quite... good. Definitely ask and try the staff?s recommendations and bring a couple of friends to share family-style. They accept creditcards and have parking onsite. Read more
My boyfriend and I came here after a long day of exploring and we were greeted by friendly staff that seated us right away. The... menus were online or they offered physical menus. Our waiter Jen (he was blonde and hair in a pony) was extremely kind andattentive and Knowledgeable about the menu. Our sushi came out quickly and we felt like we were home in Florida where sushi isking. We both agreed we found our Austin Sushi spot! We got three rolls and some edamame. Read more
I came in on a Sunday afternoon - It was very busy, there was a good buzz, and the servers/chefs yell in Japanese when people... enter the restaurant. I was shown a seat at the bar which normally would overlook the chef?s preparation area however was on alower level with no visibility. The menu was by QR code and to my surprise one could also order this way. I did so, payedupfront and the food was passed to me directly from the chefs. Both the seating and the lack of personal touch actually tookaway an element of the dining experience. I had the miso soup, salmon nigiri, crunchy dynamite, TX surf & turf, Botan ebi, andsome avocado rolls. They were all very good though I could not help to notice the fish seemed not very fresh. The salmon nigiriwas less flavorful than I would have expected and the Botan ebi, which is usually sweet and sticky, was a bland and lacked thetexture. The rolls were delicious and well presented. Overall the staff were nice though I interacted with them less than usualdue to the online menu/payment. This place was recommended to me and I will give it a second chance although on this occasionalit was underwhelming - especially for what is a quite expensive dining experience. Read more
I was here with some friends for a late lunch. Because of the time (4 pm), only the "Mid-day menu" was available. They offer... mostly small plates. It can be pricey, but everything we tried was absolutely delicious. There was a huge sushi menu as well. Service was ok overall. Our server was friendly, but she didn't seem to know the menu very well. Read more
I ordered delivery via Uber Eats. The food was packaged and bagged where it wasn't squashed nor did it spill. Sorry for the... blurry sushi roll picture. I took a bite and it was so good I got in a hurry with taking the photo. I absolutely live how theyhave pictures of all their plates on the uber eats menu. That is exactly why I chose to order from them. Their food descriptionswere accurate as well. Read more
It doesn?t even feel like the same restaurant. I got some food delivered via UberEats since Kome doesn?t do dine in, but the... food quality was so bad compared to the Kome before Covid. The sauce for cold soba is super salty. The chicken karaage is sohard and feels like rocks. Sushi is mediocre that I can just order somewhere else. I?m disappointed and will not go back. Read more
Friend and I were in the area and wanted a sushi lunch. We have usually have a ?go to? place in the Domain, but I wanted to... explore options. So glad I did; I think this may be my new favorite sushi place. We arrived early, before the lunch rush, anddecided it would be fun to sit at the sushi bar so we can watch and chat with the sushi chefs. Great service, friendly staff,quality and delicious food, and ambiance. ?????? Read more
