ggunn:I'm a Bubba, so I've only been to Musashino (I looked up the spelling at http://austinsushi.com/locator/) a couple of times and Sushi Saki never. The place on Congress I spoke of is Pango and it is pretty nice, but they had some trouble a while back with the owner rigging a video camera in a plant in the ladies' room, so it might not be open any more. Umi is highly rated; it's on the southbound FR of I 35 just north of Stassney. Both are fairly new, but more than 3 years old, I believe.
I wonder if you could possibly miss Austin any more than I miss Cozumel... No matter; my wife and I have a 12 day visit booked at Caribe Blu in May. I'll get back in touch when it gets close to time; maybe we can hook up down there. Is there anything I can bring you from Austin?
That story about Pango is lovely...haha! Musachino (and Chinatown above it) is my favorite! Have some spider rolls for me next time you're there!
I always welcome a piece of Austin when someone is coming from there! I'll PM you with my "Austin" wish list...haha!
What shop do you use in Austin? I thought I read at some point that you used Oak Hill Scuba...I bought my original set of gear from them.
Anyway, it would be my pleasure to meet you when you're down in May!
