- CCindyVIPAustin •76 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoOur new fave! Beautiful space, with an amazing bar front and center. I love how the kitchen is open so we can see the magic happening. Our server was so friendly and knowledgeable about the food and drinks. Food was delicious and chef came over to our table (we were sitting next to the kitchen) and brought us a dessert he heard one of us talking about but wasn't sure to get...so nice and thoughtful...we'll be coming back for sureMore infoThe Kitchen American Bistro - AustinPrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Downtown•4.6

- PPamelaHouston •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoI 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.More infoKemuri Tatsu-yaPrice: Expensive• Japanese• Austin•4.6
