Kemuri Tatsu-Ya What Our Friends Are SayingThe Infatuation: "Kemuri Tatsu-ya uses the term 'Texas izakaya' to describe a menu that touches on Tex-Mex, barbecue, sushi, and izakaya - but all you really need to know is that this is something you’ve never experienced. If ever you’re feeling like you’ve hit a mundane stretch in life, go read this menu as the literature to awaken your soul: chili cheese takoyaki (octopus fritters on top of cheesy chili), guaca-poke (exactly what it sounds like), tokyo street corn (with yuzu pepper aioli), and sticky rice tamale (with beef tongue and chorizo), are as insanely good as they sound. While many Austin small plate-oriented concept restaurants tend to impress with an interesting looking menu and little substance to back it up, this is an outlier."Time Out: "This third outpost from the team behind Ramen Tatsu-ya has received a slew of national accolades since opening in 2016. Located in the former Live Oak Barbecue spot, the smoke stained walls and rustic setting lend a Texas feel to the Japanese hotspot, where yakitori plates are meant to be shared and accompanied by stiff cocktails. Echoing its surroundings, the menu offers Texan-Japanese fusion fare with items like sticky rice tamale, chili cheese takoyaki, guaca-poke and yuzu pecan pie."

Unique is an understatement for Kemuri – small plates with big flavors that combine sushi with Tex-Mex bbq. This lively, casual spot delivers amazing food and plenty of whiskey, beer and saki to wash it down.
