The Most Flavorful Sushi Bars in Austin

Sushi Nini

★★★★☆ 4.1 (861) • $$

"I recently went here with a friend. I had been wanting some good sushi and she took me here. It was pretty chill when we first got there. Not too many people even though it was happy hour . Our appetizers were amazing! The boat contains a variety of different options just can't remember them lol. It was soooooooooooo delicious! We couldn't even finish the whole thing! I got lucky to take tit home to have later. The service was good as well. Our waitress was attentive and helped me. I can't wait to go back !"

Musashino Sushi Dokoro

★★★★☆ 4.1 (854) • $$$

"Ok. I have been going to Musashino since 96 when it was on Mopac near Anderson and Tyson Cole was a sous chef there. Before covid it had gone through a rough patch and their sushi had lost the beauty and taste. Their new location brings a fresh, yet traditional, breath to limited Austin sushi offering. I love the new location. The menu is smaller than what it was, but everything is good and the service is top notch."

BarChi Sushi

★★★★☆ 3.7 (881) • $$

"*I don't eat sushi so the review of those items comes from my companions.We came with a large group for happy hour and this place did not disappoint! Great cocktails$5 appetizers and $5 cocktails. All of the food that came out of the kitchen was on point and delicious. I had shrimp tempura and gyoza. Both were perfect.This spot is definitely worth a return trip."

Xian Sushi and Noodle

★★★★☆ 4 (710) • $$

"We came on a Friday evening around 8 PM--wasn't super busy. The space is smaller, but my party of five still sat comfortably. Would love to have given this restaurant five stars, however the service here was not very good. We were seated very quickly, but our table was not approached for almost ten minutes. Aside from our food being brought to us, we did not receive any attention whatsoever by a server--no one to ask us how we were enjoying our meal, no one to pick up our empty dishes to clear out the table, etc. it was very disappointing. The plus side was the food was wonderful. I had an Alaska Roll and the Tonkatsu Ramen. I loved both of my dishes. They tasted fresh, the pork in my ramen was so tender and the broth was so flavorful. I highly recommend it. The restaurant's all-day Happy Hour items are great--there are a variety of different sushi rolls listed at a very cheap price. Would definitely be back for the food, and hopefully those serving will be more attentive during the meal rather than just when we're getting ready to cash out."

Poke House - Austin

★★★★☆ 4.2 (498) • $$

"I was still in aloha mode after getting back from Kauai and was really craving poke. I got takeout here twice and really enjoyed the food. I created a bowl with the salmon, ahi tuna, and classic ahi tuna. It tasted fresh and was very well prepared. The staff is always alert and helpful. The staff does a good job of keeping the place really clean while making the bowls efficiently. Looking forward to coming back!"

Sushi Junai 2

★★★★☆ 3.8 (605) • $$$

"Very good bargain for the price and the quality of food you receive. Take a look at the menu and write your order on the scratch paper. Within minutes the food is brought to the table. $30 for the lunch buffet."

Sushi Junai

★★★★☆ 3.6 (656) • $$

"Great! Just amazing! We ordered ex-girlfriend the Diablo Casanova yellowtail and salmon sishi and the Mexican. Great! They threw in some rare yellowtail belly!"

Mikado Ryotei

★★★★☆ 4 (529) • $$

"What happened to this place? It used to be SO GOOD!The last time I was here, before my recent visit, was probably around 12-13 years ago when the super white tuna was plump, fresh, and would overhang on a little lump of rice-- how a perfect piece of nigiri should be. This time it was tough, tiny, and honestly, I was so sad. I have no idea what went down through these years, but it must have been some shit, because the sushi tasted like it's been sitting there for weeks.Used to think so highly of this place, but damn, it has gone downhill to the max. Is it the economy? Are we skimping on fresh fish? --keeping it longer than advised? Ugh.Ambience is still ok and service is acceptable, but sadly, I likely won't be back."

Ka-Prow Thai & Sushi Bistro

★★★★☆ 4 (514) • $$

"I cannot recommend ka prow enough. Seriously please go here. The staff is so fantastic and the food is incredible. You will not leave hungry. Also please try their desserts! They are so so delicious!! I love this place with all of my heart and tell everyone who asks about food in and around Pflugerville to go here ASAP. Everything I have had here has been delicious. My go to order is the bacon fried rice but I've had the pad Thai, pad see ew, Panang curry, and the pad woo sen and have always enjoyed my meal. I love their desserts as well. The layered crepe cakes are my favorite when they have them but the tiramisu and crème brûlées are so good here as well. The servers here as so so incredible I cannot speak of them highly enough. There is one man who is there most of the time and I am unfortunately forgetting his name but he's so great at hospitality. He remembers us every time we come in, he seems genuinely concerned about everyone's experience and he's so funny and nice. I love the family owned vibes of this place and how there's normally a kid doodling or doing homework in the corner it is just so calming and great in here. They also have nice bathrooms which is a plus. This is by far one of my favorites in Pflugerville and, honestly the Austin area, I love ka prow with all my heart."

Ichiban

★★★★☆ 4 (482) • $$

"I thought I had given this place a review, but it appears this is my first. I have enjoyed my dining experience each time I have eaten here. The service is always excellent and the dining room reminds me of Japanese Restaurants that I visited in Okinawa. It has a sushi bar, tables with chairs as well as tables to sit on the floor (traditional). I ordered Poke (Tuna) this time. The dish was large and loaded with Tuna, caviar, veggies and rice. A great deal for the cost."

Blue Sushi Sake Grill

★★★★☆ 4.2 (422) • $$

"Service is hit or miss but the food is worth it! Love love love this placeGreat vibesGreat drink selectionSaki and cocktails are greatAnd the vegetarian sushi is the best I've ever hadHUGE selection for vegetarians and vegans and meat eaters Something for everyoneSome of my favorites: lettuce wraps, house salad, miso soup, edamame, cowgirl, Eden roll, green goddess, shiitake it to me, prince roll, Thai hippie and unami express A MUST go if you are in the domain"

Sushi Junai Omakase

★★★★☆ 4.4 (366)

"The customer service was excellent. The quality of the fish was decent and the pricing was fairly competitive. The scallops were legit.I should have ordered the seasonal, limited sushi and nigiri items but opted for a set menu and chirashi bowl instead. The wasabi had some serious kick to it with some chunky bits of root.Will have to check out the a la carte menu items next time!The restaurant space was cozy. The sushi chefs were engaged and made sure every customer was taken care of. Overall, it was a good meal."

Tsukimi

★★★★☆ 4 (432) • $$

"Tsukimi has an excellent AYCE menu. They offer both lunch and dinner AYCE. The price is quite reasonable since the food doesn't stop until you do. Lunch is around $28 (no nigiri) and dinner is about $36 and includes nigiri (with some limits). Kids up to 7 are $17 for AYCE. 2 hour limit and you'll be charged for over ordering and wasting sushi (pretty typical for any AYCE).Service is solid. This seems like a mom and pop place and I think mom and pop might be seating and serving us. Located conveniently right off of 35, exit parmer to get there. Ample parking. I think they could make use of their outdoor space, it would be a nice option and people driving by would notice the outdoor diners.The fatty salmon nigiri for dinner AYCE is my favorite. So many options on the huge menu like creative apps, noodles, fried rice, katsu - sushi and non sushi lovers alike will find plenty to choose from. I can't speak to the standard menu but I'll promote that AYCE all day!"

Yanagi

★★★★☆ 3.8 (459) • $$

"As a vegetarian who used to love sushi, I really appreciate this place. First, it is bright, clean, and spacious. The servers are super nice and stay on top of refilling your water cups. They're quick, there was a time I didn't even notice they had refilled my drink.I ordered all the vegetarian rolls, of which there are 3. These rolls are bigger than the standard sushi roll you can order. This is great because with less protein the veggie options tend to be less filling so you order more. Every roll was delicious. No, they were DELICIOUS. The Vegetable Tempura Roll was crispy and tasty. My dining companion said it was her favorite. I let her eat several of them because I could not eat all of this on my own. The Green Land Roll was light and refreshing, but again so many giant pieces made it pretty filling. The Vegetarian Roll was wrapped in cucumber and was a snappy delight. I think about these rolls often and am excited to come back for more Green Land and to try something else."

Daichi Sushi and Grill

★★★★☆ 4.3 (343) • $$

"This is our new favorite sushi spot in cedar park! They have a large variety that includes easy favorites and unique rolls and combinations I have only had here. Every roll we tried was amazing and the prices were reasonable. There are definitely more expensive sushi restaurants in the area that don't have the type of high quality flavor combos they bring to the menu here. The location is quaint but the restaurant has a nice ambiance and fantastic service. We've already gone multiple times in one week!"

Haiku Japanese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.7 (460) • $$

"My husband and I loved the Love Boat!There was a good variety of meat and sushi and the price was excellent!"

Snow Pea Asian Bistro

★★★★☆ 3.7 (452) • $$

"My mom and I went on a Saturday afternoon, it wasn't too busy. Which was nice for a casual weekend lunch. We got the Shrimp Dynasty and Garlic beef. + the scallion pancake, and shrimp spring rolls. Nicole was our waitress, who was amazing. She was kind and attentive. She spoke to us like we had been there many times before, Making us feel incredibly welcome.She did an amazing job at providing suggestions on what to eat, as well really delicious wine pairings. The hostess was super nice as well. The whole team who work here are fantastic. The food is super yummy. My biggest regret is not coming to eat in person sooner. As I had only ordered from the sushi menu for delivery. Please stop by! 10/10!"

EurAsia Ramen

★★★★☆ 4.1 (367) • $$

"I've only ordered the Tontkusu here but it never disappoints, very thick and consistent! I order also the small ramen bowl for my kid and she everytime, she dances coz it is so good!Support this business, they are super quick and kind and their food is just so good."

Miyo Yakitori & Sushi

★★★★☆ 4.4 (314) • $$

"As always, Miyo never misses serving wonderful Japanese food. I love their Chicken Katsu Don (also comes with a cup of Miso Soup). It's a huge portion of Chicken Katsu on top of a ton of rice with the most flavorful sauce/egg mixture. Prices are pretty resonable for the quality and amount of food you receive. Definitely recommend giving Miyo a try!"

Miso

★★★★☆ 4.1 (356) • $$

"miso is my favorite restaurant when i'm craving korean food in austin. not only do they offer delicious korean food but their sushi rolls are also such good quality as well. it is pretty pricey here ($20-30 for the meal) but they offer really good lunch prices. my go tos are their dolsot bibimbap with spicy pork, spicy pork bulgogi bento, and spicy yellowtail roll."

KOBE Japanese Steakhouse

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (545) • $$$

"What a show. It's been a long while since I've been here and I had forgotten how engaging and entertaining the chefs are as they prepare the food at your table. I had the noodles and chicken and my wife had the noodles and steak. They all come with stir fried vegetables, a very mild ginger tasting broth, and white rice. Other additions or substitutes are available at extra charge.Your food is prepared for you right at your table around the large flat top grills and what a show it is. The chef engages with the diners as he shows off his knife and spatula skills which are very impressive by themselves then he adds touches of fire and flame throughout as well.If you are looking for a dining experience and a show at the same time, this is the place to go. The chicken teriyaki was very good and my wife really enjoyed the noodles and steak as well. If you have room after the pile of food the present, you can end it off with a delicious cheesecake drizzled with caramel and chocolate for desert.Of course, they also offer a selection of wines and beers."

Xian Sushi & Noodle - Domain

★★★★☆ 3.8 (403) • $$

"The food is always magnificent! I ordered Tekka last time and I always get the veggie dumplings which are delicious !The service is always good. The ambience is pleasant (it's always busy) and the location is center of Domain. Great place!"

Wasabi

★★★★☆ 3.7 (421) • $$

"We were rather disappointed in Wasabi. From the beginning to the end it was in disarray. Parking was very tough and the restaurant was full in the doorway because of the takeout customers. We luckily had a reservation and were seated right away.A man dressed like a manger greeted us and took our drink order then ran off. The restaurant was extremely busy and he was the only server. I found that to be a very foolish decision especially since this was Valentine's Day! Let's plan better for the busiest day of the year shall we? We waited quite a while but then our food came. We ordered a sushi roll after getting our appetizers and dessert. Those took a long time so it's a good thing we didn't wait longer to order. We got our food and I unrolled my fork to find it was gross and dirty! Please polish your silverware before rolling them up next time.I wanted dessert and they were completely out of ice cream (green tea, vanilla, and chocolate!) The server told me they only had tempura cheesecake, I got it and I never expected scalding hot cheesecake! It was something I would not order again. Needless to say it was not the most pleasant dining experience."

Umami Sushi

★★★★☆ 4.4 (290) • $$

"Researched sushi in San Marcos and this one had a high rating from over 200 Yelpers. Sure to not disappoint I thought, but Yelp has failed me this time surprisingly. This place is a 3-star quality restaurant tops. FOOD: Shrimp tempura (2/5) seemed like it came out of a frozen box. Bulgogi-Don (3/5) was decent but the bowl looked sad in terms of their beef ration. The Volcano sushi (3/5) was mediocre even after sitting on its own puddle of oil. And finally, the Double Spicy sushi (2/5) was double the disappointment. The sushi on top felt too cold/icy. SERVICE: The waitress was very nice so no complaints here. LOCATION: It is located in the middle of Texas State University inside a strip mall with plenty of parking. NOTEWORTHY: Relatively cheap, which is probably very attractive to the college kids on campus. But you get what you pay for."

Kai Sushi

★★★★☆ 4.4 (289) • $$

"The first time that I tried Kai Sushi was during the pandemic. My experience was alright but really not worth noting as I only picked it up. This time around I was able to sit and order at the restaurant. I brought my niece here as sushi was on her list of accepted meals after a long soccer tournament.We had a wonderful experience and wonderful service, so kind and authentic. Our food was delicious and we could not have left happier. I look forward to making more time to come and sit to enjoy the experience more often than not. This is also a great spot for a date night, very intimate and I'd say mostly quiet."

Bluefin Sushi Bar & Ramen

★★★★☆ 4.3 (302) • $$

"I'M A FOODIE PEEPS!!! And I travel the world. I have to say......I was impressed with the quality, portion size and presentation of the food at this sushi place. I live relatively close to Sunset Valley and I love going shopping in this area. So when my son said that he wanted sushi...I said "Let's try somewhere new!!!" Normally I don't. But I'm really glad that we did!!! The restaurant was quaint, had a lot of parking and we had the sweetest waitress....Miss. Vonie......then the food was great too. We eat sushi at least twice a week.....And this hands down NOW IS OUR NEW, FAVORITE SPOT, IN THE AREA!!! Reasonably priced and the waitress let us know, that if we go there between 1-3pm, then they have major specials. 2 rolls for $15.....3 for something etc. All I know is I was impressed. WE'LL SO BE BACK. So get ready to meet out whole clan Bluefin!!! See you again soon."

Nanami Sushi Bar & Grill

★★★★☆ 3.5 (439) • $$

"I love this place, it is my go to after bowling on Tuesday evenings, from Allison at the bar to the excellent Sushi chefs it is all top notch.....5 stars."

Osaka Mansun Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.9 (344) • $$

"This place has great food and is very quick! Real octopus takoyaki and excellent bulgolgi!!!!"

Umiya Sushi

★★★★☆ 3.8 (359) • $$

"The best sushi in cedar park and north Austin hands down. Great service by christi shes very nice and attentive."

Dawa Sushi

★★★★★ 4.6 (235) • $$

"This one is for the vegans... they have options and they are great. I called to ask about a few things and the owner was so helpful. I ended up with the garlic edamame, avocado vege spring roll, and the brown veggie roll. I got the brown veggie roll with soy paper as I hate seaweed; loved it! The veggie udon noodle soup was also vegan and I'm excited to try that next time. Love to support a local family business!"

Wok & Roll

★★★★☆ 3.5 (398) • $$

"Still on the hunt for a good Chinese restaurant so we tried Wok & Roll. Hubby got general tso's and asked for chicken fried rice, and egg roll. Mom had Mongolian beef-spicy , fried rice, and egg roll, and I had something new, garlic beef, fried rice and egg roll. I also got crab Rangoon. The restaurant is really nice and the bathrooms were clean! Hubby said General Tso's was ok and he thinks they gave him pork fried rice. He liked the spice level and the rice. The crab Rangoon did not have crab at all and the egg rolls tasted old. The beef in garlic sauce was sweet and not tasty to me, but it's not my normal entree. Mom said Mongolian beef was ok as well. They were really nice. We were greeted as soon as we entered and our order came up fast. We will keep looking for a good Chinese restaurant."

Poke House - Round Rock

★★★★☆ 4.3 (258) • $$

"Poke House is my FAV poke spot. Affordable, generous portions, and so many topping options. They also offer rewards for signing up. Got my regular bowl for 50% off!My husband ordered the Pokerito which he really enjoyed but it was wrapped wrong. The rice was on the outside rather than the seaweed being on the outside. It was messy and fell apart quite a bit but the flavor was work it."

O'daku Sushi

★★★★☆ 4 (285) • $$

"After loving our dinner and lunch take-out experiences from Odaku (a family-run Korean Japanese fusion place at Parmer & Mopac) for the past year, I finally got the chance to experience dine-in this month and I am still a big fan. My special friend & I celebrated our first date night of 2025 here and everything was great!- Getting a table at 6p on Saturday night was no problem. I could *not* believe there was no wait. This just tells me that too few people know how wonderful the quality of food & service is at Odaku.- Table service was friendly, knowledgeable, prompt, and unobtrusive, exactly what I'm looking for on a date night or really any time.- Food was sooo good! Beautiful presentation, fresh ingredients, tasty, well-executed. We had sushi this night, ordering 2 huge rolls (9 pieces each!) and a chef's choice nigiri dinner (9 thick pieces). I typically stick with sashimi, as I am not a fan of overly sauced, mostly rice rolls drowning in mayo, but Odaku kept every component in balance.- Price was reasonable for the high quality of the products, especially compared to our other excellent but overbooked alternative spot across the highway.We had such a great meal and conversation over a shared bottle of junmai. Now that we know Saturday night isn't a hassle (at least at our preferred early dinner hour), we will definitely be back here for future date nights. I'm looking forward to more exploration of the Korean side of the menu, too.I also noticed that the back north section of the restaurant has several traditional floor-seated tables with cooktops for 8 or so people. This looks like a fun option for a large group who want to do Korean BBQ or hot pot."

Tokyo Steak House and Sushi Bar

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (427) • $$

"Tokyo Steak House is a wonderful place to celebrate special moments. It appears to resemble Benihana restaurant setup, but a bit more affordable.We celebrated my daughter's 32nd birthday. But since she was not available, we dined in her honor. I read the reviews and determined that folks either have a "Loved it" or Hated it" experience. (Yet I notice restaurant management always replied to the negative comments). From 5 stars - 1 stars. I couldn't decide, so I went with the opinions of my fellow "Elites". Most of them had a 4-5 star experience. When we arrived at least three of the teppanyaki grills were already occupied. We wound up dinning at our own grill, with no other guests. I've eaten at Benihana restaurants before and always had a full table, so this was a bit definitely different. I've always enjoyed the fellowship of strangers over a good meal. We both order Sirloin Steak combo meals. My wife ordered Sirloin Steak and Chicken. I ordered Steak and Salmon. Our Chef arrived and started the show. I've already seen it performed at two other tables, so I knew the drill. Yet our guy was very enthusiastic about his performance. But his true skills were revealed in his cooking. Watching him prepare the meals was poetry in motion. Both steaks were seasoned well. Cooked as requested and quite juicy. Lots of butter and what ever "secret sauce" is in the red mystery bottle. My salmon was nice and tender, with a slight crust on the outside. Just the way I like it (how did he know???) While watching him cook, I thought for sure it would be over cooked, yet I hesitated to comment. Glad I did, as it was prepared perfectly. Overall service was outstanding! Delicious food. Price reflected the quality we enjoyed. My dining experience was fulfilled. Come celebrate your next event at Tokyo Steak House. They have plenty of steel teppanyaki grills. There are also tables to just enjoy the meal, without the show, although at some tables you might get a partial view. It's a great affordable way to enjoy Asian cooking that isn't takeout. Come and enjoy the fun. Michael C. - Georgetown, Tx."

Sakura Sushi & Bar

★★★★☆ 3.9 (286) • $$

"Friday night, it was packed. It was also expected. The wait time wasn't bad, 20 min. I got a text when they had a table ready. We sat down and were offered water. A long wait after we had a server come by and we gave her our order. The food didn't take long to come out. It is large portions. I thought I ate about half until I dished the left overs in a box, and realized how much more was actually left. Wow! I ordered the crab rangoons. It's an order of 5 and they are very delicious. I also ordered the orange chicken which came with white rice in a separate small bowl. The orange chicken has a wonderful sauce and some perfectly steamed broccoli. (It did heat very well the next day in the oven) so I really got 2 great meals. Service was slow, took a long time to get our check. We had to ask someone if they could get our server. But it was packed and I'm sure it was just an over sight. They did turn the projectors on and the wall was like a moving aquarium. Very nice scenery to look at. Hope to be back again."
