The food took about an hour to arrive for delivery, and unfortunately, the sushi rolls were underwhelming—basic in flavor and small for the price. The search for great sushi in Austin continues.
For dine in, you can order at the counter or directly from your table online, which is convenient. The setup inside is simple, and both food and drinks came out quickly.
Love Potion Refresher ($8): Super refreshing on a hot day. It's not overly sweet and has strawberry and mango bits that add a nice texture. The hint of lime gives it a pleasant tartness.
A7 Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken ($10): The chicken was cooked fine, but the Taiwanese flavors didn't really come through. It was served with a side of house buttermilk ranch, which didn't pair well. Chili powder would've been a better match, and if they wanted to stay true to Taiwanese style, adding fried basil would've elevated the dish.
A12 Viet Smoked Wings ($14): Five post oak-smoked wings tossed in a Vietnamese "sticky icky" sauce, served with blue ranch and pickled cauliflower. The wings were dry, and the sauce wasn't sticky or caramelized enough to bring out its flavor--or even cling to the wings. The blue ranch had a blue cheese flavor and some chunky bits that resembled cottage cheese--an odd choice. The pickled cauliflower, however, was nicely done and lightly pickled.
C9 Dragon Roll ($17): Nori with protein, kanikama mix, cucumbers, masago, scallions, and sesame seeds. They offer more protein choices on Postmates, so my husband chose BBQ eel. This had a more cohesive flavor than the Happy Roll, but still nothing special.
M10 Happy Roll ($18 | $19.50): Nori with BBQ eel, cucumbers, kanikama, fresh salmon, lemon, crunchy topping, unagi sauce, sriracha, masago, sesame seeds, and scallions. I didn’t realize it had eel until checking the menu—mostly tasted the salmon. Wasn’t a fan of the overall flavor, and the texture leaned too slimy for my taste.
A1 Bird Nest ($15 l $15.95): Baked avocado stuffed with kanikama mix, spicy mayo, snow sauce, and sesame seeds. This was the highlight of the meal—delicious and much better than the sushi. It was rich, flavorful, and well-balanced. Highly recommend!
Pistachio Berry Sandwich ($9.50): Fried Japanese shokupan milk bread filled with pistachio whipped cream, topped with pistachios and strawberry jam. This was so good and easily the best part of the meal. The crispy bread was amazing! There was a bit too much cream left over, but it wasn’t overly sweet.
They also forgot our tiger milk with honey boba, but we got a refund.
Would I come back for the sushi? No.
