Nabe Sushi

Stop in here today for lunch-first time. Had a business meeting, and it was in the same parking lot.I sat at the sushi bar-everything was fine until my order came. There was 4 sushi chefs on the line, and the one to the far left was sneezing into his hands, rubbing his nose, and even bend down under the counter to blow his nose & NEVER washed his hands!! I watched him from my peripheral for 5 minutes, he just went right on to making orders.Then! The next sushi chef to his right-who seemed to be the one in charge sneezed into his hands & same thing!! Didn't wash his hands, and went right back to making orders!I wasn't so grossed out, I warned the lady next to me who had sat down after all this went down, flagged my server down, paid and left Beware

Nabe is a much needed addition to the Four Points area. We went on a Friday night around 7pm and it was extremely busy. Waiting at the hostess stand was chaotic as there was no dedicated hostess and we stood around for about 10 minutes with no one even acknowledging us. Someone eventually came up with a random piece of paper and said to write our name down, which we did, but she didn't tell anyone else behind us to do it which was weird. There were actually people standing behind us that left because no one checked them in. There's also not much space to stand and wait for the table. They could definitely benefit from either a buzzer system so people can wait outside, or just yelp wait list or something to receive a text notification. Inside the restaurant is very nicely decorated which you would think makes it a good date night restaurant, but almost everyone inside was wearing athletic clothes and there were a ton of kids which is a bummer when you want to go to a nice restaurant and everyone treats it like something casual.The food was great, but incredibly slow to come out. We started off with the calamari appetizer which had a delicious honey wasabi sauce. It was cooked perfectly. We enjoyed 5 rolls, but the best one by far was the "We Need Protein" roll. It took about an hour and a half to get all of our rolls which is not typical for a sushi restaurant. The staff kept coming out and apologizing and then someone brought us complimentary edamame (which was so good), but it was brought out at the end of our meal. It would've been nice to have brought it out during all the time we spent waiting with nothing to eat. If they can get the hostess stand worked out and a better organization system to receiving food, it would be a 5 star for me because the food was outstanding.

I decided to visit this restaurant based on a friend's recommendation. Although it's a bit of a drive from my place, I usually come to this area once every three months.The restaurant is spacious, and they have an outdoor patio. However, I wouldn't recommend sitting there during the summer because it's not covered.The chicken katsu was decent, but not particularly impressive. The fry on it was uneven in color and some of the pieces were quite dry.The scallop was just okay. It lacked flavor even though it was stir-fry with garlic and other ingredients.The service was average. It was their soft opening when I visited, so I can understand that they were still learning.

Nice addition to the Japanese/Sushi scene around the Four Points area. Went there for lunch and found the food to be very good. The lunch specials were varied and covered all the bases with many Bento and Sushi combination options. The food is very good. Sushi was fresh and tasted great. We really enjoyed the Karaage and Tempura Bento boxes. Delicious sampling of many Japanese favorites. Service was friendly and prompt.

Fantastic addition to the four points area. They claim to be upscale sushi and they are. The bento box lunch is about $20 but a good value. The salad was fresh, everything was delicious, and it was plenty of food.I will be coming back for dinner!

Came here on their 3rd day of opening and they did not disappoint. The lunch menu had quite a lot to choose from and prices were fair (between $16-28). The food was delicious!There were still some kinks to be worked out such as the rice was a bit undercooked, miso soup was way too salty and luke warm. But other than that, really can't complain since it was their 3rd day of business. Servers were attentive and owner was nice. Ambiance was on point. This is a much needed restaurant for the River Place area and I'll definitely be back.

The sushi was very fresh and tasty - I got two of the specials - the yellowtail collar and the toro/fatty tuna with caviar. Service was quick and on point, and I enjoyed a nice dry saki and then a Cakebread chard. It was my Christmas gift to myself. Would have preferred a mackerel selection of which there was none, but I know it's not popular, but I love the oiliness and depth of flavor in that fish. Anyway, a real gem in Four Points and the NW ATX area; I will be back

Such a good experience. Loved the ambiance, the staff and the food!!! Will definitely be back.

Great food and service excellent rolls sushi and sashimi excellent. Thank you for the great experience

We have been to Nabe several times now during the week to enjoy their lunchtime bento boxes. I usually get Crispy Flounder w/mayo sauce, but have also had the Tempura Veggies, Tempura Shrimp, Crispy Calamari. All were very good. My husband sticks with the beef bulgogi. The food is plentiful, and we always have to take home left-overs. Starts with a good miso soup, and the bento box has fresh salad with citrus-ginger dressing, entree over rice, 2 types of sushi, and 3 fried won tons (?). Ginger and wasabi are also served. The food never disappoints. Service is excellent and attentive. The restaurant is clean, attractive, fresh. There is also an outside dining area. We are very happy to have Nabe in our neighborhood now.
