Restaurants near Austin Bergstrom International Airport

I always have a great experience at Kemuri Tatsu Ya. The infusion of Texas Smokehouse with Japanese cuisines is genius. Parking can be tricky due to the location. Yesterday I parked across the street at the clinic since it was after hours. It is an easy walk across Pleasant Valley at the light.

Fantastic restaurant, if you’ve visited any of their other restaurants you know what you are getting. Great food in shareable plates and some of the best bread in town. The hummus, octopus, and shawarma are all a must!

Menu is fairly limited to tacos and quesadillas. Tortillas are fantastic, food is very fresh. Prices are very reasonable.

We went for a Galentine‘s but the service really put a damper on our evening. The restaurant is small and somewhat dark, the noise level is medium so it’s great for conversation amongst friends or an intimate dinner. We had the bucatini, which was excellent. The pizza was very good as well with a crispy crust. We also ordered the shoulder, which I don’t know if I would recommend. Th ricotta whip and the short rib appetizer, both excellent. Small plates, good price point, good for sharing. The service was the only poor part of this experience. The waiter was rushing, kept asking to remove plates while we were still eating. Tossed the dessert menu apparently annoyed. Either bad day for waiter or this is their culture to rush.

The entire experience from start to finish was incredible! The staff there are personable and made the dining experience seamless. The food was incredible, especially the strawberry cake. The atmosphere was also charming and classic. Can’t wait to go back!
