I got take out through Grub Hub and all I can say is... WOW! That was the best take out I have gotten in Austin period. I ordered the Shishito Steak with Rice and it hit the spot. I live in San Antonio and I am going to have to come back with my girlfriend to eat there. Can't wait!

The place is kept clean, the staff are helpful and friendly. At the end of the day, it's still Japanese fast food. Take your friends or stop by for a healthy meal, but it's not a date night place.

Center menu features the popular build-a-bowl with protein / veggie / rice or noodle layers, but the predefined combinations were hard for me to turn down. I went for the "double-meat" option on the tofu and chose the Buddha umami blend, which came with a delicious, teriyaki-like sauce. The high-tech interior is dominated by a wall of windows peering silently out to Guadalupe traffic whizzing by. I loved the food. The staff was friendly and supportive on my first visit. And I look forward to coming back for more.

Great food for a quick bite. Usually pretty fast for those on a time crunch. I love the Muscles from Brussels (thinks thats the name) or any of their bowls. Dog friendly too!

Mostly a bowl place... build-your-own, basic, or specialty. I usually get the Schoolgirl --- it is chicken and veg over rice with crunchy wanton strips and a serrano aioli drizzle (just slightly hot). They also have pre-packaged rolls that are made fresh on-site.

The best place for a quick lunch anywhere in Austin. Build your own bowl with fresh local produce, high quality meats, and gluten-free cellophane noodles to pair with savory sauces. Delicious!

Uses to roll past it quite a bit, then finally dropped in for an evening bite.
Brilliant move! Love the Neo-Zen, laid back dining atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious, very healthy and obviously a good hit and run choice for the health conscious elite of Austin. Not too expensive, but very tasty for the money!

Great staff and lots of healthy choices at reasonable prices. I recommend the Buddha Mix Build-Your-Own-Bowl with white chicken and Udon noodles and ginger-lime sauce. Lots of fresh veggies. The noodles remind me of dumplings and the sauce is flavorful without being too spicy. It's a great choice if you're trying to eat healthy!

Good food, service and a shout out to Mandy. After a late lunch, I discovered I had low tire pressure in one tire. I went back inside to get some quarters and Mandy came to the rescue with a portable air compressor. She went out of her way to help a pregnant lady and her two year old. Thanks again !!!!

This place is great for good and fast Japanese food.
I like to make my own bowl with chicken, Buddah blend veggies, and broth with brown rice - So Delicious!!
Many of my coworkers like to get some of the pre-made sushi rolls; they say they are good (for a fast sushi place). :)
