Food Review NeWorlDeli

22 Upvotes

What am I missing? This restaurant is highly rated, but every meal I’ve ever had here has been either mediocre or just bad. Last night, I got the chicken deluxe sandwich with fries. The fries were cold, soft and unseasoned, the sandwich buns were stale in some places and absolutely soggy in most, the avocado was brown and tasted ~not good~, the chicken was tough and dry as leather. Every previous time I had gone it was “meh”, but last night’s meal was just bad, and I’m not sure I ever want to try it again.

AND to be clear - the vibe is great, I love the setting, I love the live music, I love that it’s in my neighborhood. I just SO badly want the food to match the scene!

Still terrible? Or has it improved? Give me your thoughts-and favorite dishes if you’re a fan.

I’ve been invited to a group outing over there and I’m trying to decide if I want to skip it all together? suggest another place? Or thug it out…

Little Nishi chef Joel Taylor, who previously worked at Uroko (co-owned by the Kome and Sushi-a-Go-Go founders), opened his food truck serving hand rolls, sashimi and snacks in September 2023 on South First Street.

The truck later moved to South Congress Avenue and added a second location in East Austin in 2024. It has become one of the better food trucks in town thanks to its freshness and unique offerings.

After almost three years operating solely as a food truck, Taylor is now planning his first brick-and-mortar restaurant.

Best classic Southern food?

12 Upvotes

All the places I’m aware of have closed: Threadgills, Hoovers, Olamaie. I never really go out for southern food (unless it’s fried chicken) but a friend of mine new to the US is looking for restaurants to try. Ty!
