Sakura Roll (good texture and soft right), and Crunch Roll (good)!

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!

Best sushi in Austin. The fish is fresh and they give great portions. Wish they had an actual restaurant but the food truck is nice for a casual meal. Friendly service

Just really okay sushi and slow service.We ordered three types of rolls with spicy tuna and eel. They are very underwhelming and the rice wasnt soft like the sushi texture I like - they tasted cold too. Miso soup was cold and a bit sour when we tasted them. My guess is they took them into the container before the sushi was made and handed to us. It took an hour and calling ahead to finish the sushi. There were plenty of seating cause there are a bunch of food trucks around. It was a super windy night so seating wasnt too pleasant.

We were running some errands around Burnet Rd and read good reviews about this food truck at 5000 Burnet Rd. so we thought to give it a try! We got there around 1:40PM which was kind of a late lunch, and too early for dinner. It appeared to be a ghost town of food trailers...which could be a good or bad thing meaning no food trucks were open; or they were open but there was not a lot of people. Thankfully it turned out to be the latter. (Whew) However, only four food trailers were open which was not a bad deal for our first time trying the 5000 Burnet food trailers. Dawa Sushi seems to be a Japanese-Korean food truck since they also have other Korean food on their menu as well besides sushi.SERVICE: I read a lot of reviews complaining about the wait so I came prepared. It seems they knew about this complaint since they have a sign that reminds people to be kind as this is real food, made as fast as possible but with care and attention. There was one table waiting for their food ahead of us. Once we put in our order (the lady who took our order was nice), we walked around to check out other food trucks but nothing interested us so we walked back to wait for our food, but as soon as we sat down it was ready. Our whole exploratory journey of the 4 other trucks didn't take more than 10 minutes so that is really not bad at all.FOOD: We got the "SAKURA ROLL" and "CRUNCH ROLL". They both were pretty good; the rice was soft, and the fish was not fishy (one of my fears when getting sushi from a food truck, but who doesn't have that fear right?), and the amount of sauces on each roll was perfect (not too much that it overpowered the rolls).All in all, if you're like me who love to try new restaurants/food trucks that are decent and not a waste of your money, and support locals, you're in for a treat! If we are in the area, we might come back and try their other items on the menu.

The food was good, but the wait was incredibly frustrating. We went on a Friday after work. When we placed our order the owner said "it would take a while". Since "a while" can mean a lot of things, I asked for a time estimate, and she said "it could be 30 minutes, but could be over 30 minutes". It ended up taking an hour and 15 minutes for us to get our food, which is significantly more than we expected. At that point, no food is worth that wait. If you decide to try Dawa Sushi, I'd probably suggest trying to place your order online or over the phone so you avoid the long wait.As for the food, I got Erika's roll, which had smoked salmon, cream cheese, cucumber, and was topped with mango and a mango sauce. I loved the mango on this. It wasn't mind blowing sushi, but it was good. My boyfriend got the bibimbap, which he said was alright.

Service was amazing the lady who rung me up was so sweet. Fish tasted very fresh however portion sizes and taste were solid but nothing crazy. Had to stop by a fast food joint after this because I was still hungry.

Came the other day and ordered bibimbap and a side of seaweed salad. After ordering, I was told the wait would be about 30 min, which was fairly accurate but felt a little longer.The bibimbap was warm and tasted good, it was also enough for a little more than one meal, for me at least. There is better out there and maybe I should've tried the sushi, but I wanted warm food!The seaweed salad was fine but the menu's listed price was less by a few dollars compared to what they charged. It also wasn't a very big serving for the price.Overall it's a decent choice at the food truck park if you want bibimbap or something like it, but probably wouldn't be a destination I'd seek out.

There were only the two very sweet owners working on Friday night so the wait was over an hour long for what I don't think are difficult items to make. Flavors were pretty bland for the sushi (Sakura and jimi rolls) but in the plus side it did taste fresh. I probably could have made a very similar kimchi pork fried rice at home. There was plenty of parking in the lot which is nice for a food truck park.

Dawa Sushi is a hidden gem of a food truck. The owners are always so sweet and polite to their customers.The menu has a lot of variety, which I love. They serve everything from Korean, ramen, udon, sushi, and boba. The sushi is absolutely incredible! One of my new favorite rolls is the candy cane roll. I also really enjoy the spicy tuna tacos that are topped with a little spicy mayo and tobiko. The spicy tuna has just the right kick.There is a cute little covered dining area outside of the truck to sit and eat or wait at. All of the food is made with love and takes a minute to prepare but I promise it is more than worth it. I highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to discover a unique sushi place!

This is one of the best sushi I've gotten. I got the crunchy roll and the Barton springs roll for ~$22 with tax. My friend and I were the first to order and it took, I won't lie, a long freaking time. 30 minutes. Granted, they had just opened so maybe they had to get stuff organized. But once I tasted this sushi, I didn't mind the wait. Granted, I've only had HEB sushi and maybe one restaurant sushi, but wow! So fresh, the flavors are amazing. So, so fresh. Highly recommend.
