Sushi Japon & Hibachi Grill

I'm updating my review from 2014 because my main complaint was the misleading wait time for multiple to go orders but that has greatly improved. This is not Uchi but they are not trying to be, so I'm giving them 5 stars based on who they are - a local, tasty and affordable Japanese sushi and hibachi restaurant.To be fair, I mainly order to go. In full disclosure, I usually order the same dishes....for years and years. I cannot speak to ambiance or the expanse of the menu, you may need to go read some other reviews for a broader perspective. My main message here is : eat the Kevin and the Tiffany rolls! The Kevin roll has tempura asparagus inside with seared tuna and very thinly sliced, grilled lemon on top. The Tiffany roll delights with escolar and fried garlic. Order the chicken katsu, perfect rice topped with a fried chicken cutlet, egg and a savory sauce.If you like local places, you have to support them or they cease to exist. Don't forget about Sushi Japon, it deserves some love and your business!

I love doing hibachi, so when we were invited for a friends birthday, I was stoked! We had a reservation for 7pm, and the whole group was there but we weren't sat at a table till nearly 8, because "another party showed up after their reservation time." Once we finally got our table, the waiters immediately came by asking what we wanted food and drink wise. We were a group of 15, we hadn't even been sat down for 5 minutes. Seemed a little rushed. We all finally ordered, and we had hyped up the first timers about the "fun experience" the chefs give. To be honest, our chef did two little tricks and called it a day. There was nothing else past that. The rice toss and the volcano. Little disappointing because part of the experience is the fun stuff they do while cooking. Outside of that, the food was decent. I got the steak and lobster and thoroughly enjoyed it.

The planning was excellent! We were able to view and interact with regional and international sites and entertainment venues! The service, food and overall ambiance was outstanding!

Celebrated the night with some of their take out Crab, salmon, yellow fin, and trout. Hibachi chicken with extra yum yum sauceEverything was tasty and not too bad on the cost.10 out of 10 will be goin back for more. Eat so much sushi, my stomach is sore.

I love tuna towers. It was supposed to be appetizer but I put that shit down as my meal. Honestly, anything drenched in eel sauce is a hit and this was no exception. I did like the crispy rice chips it came with it added some crunchy texture

The chef had a great sense of humor and a really engaging personality! I ordered the hibachi chicken and steak. The soup and salad that came with my meal were delicious. The salad dressing was phenomenal and the appetizers really hit the spot. The fried rice didn't come by default with the food and there was a slight up charge. I found the up charge a bit odd- not sure why the menu doesn't already include fried rice and automatically reflect a higher price. The hibachi style rice and meat were pretty good but not amazing. Also, we had a very long wait between the time we were seated and the time the chef came. Overall, I had a positive experience and could see myself going back.

This is a nice little cozy Japanese eatery. The food was super tasty, but the portions a little smaller than I'm used to. My coworkers enjoyed the sushi and I enjoyed the hibachi chicken. I can't speak on the hibachi show itself, but they did ask if we wanted to sit there. Server was attentive and knew the menu. I would recommend this restaurant based on my single experience.

Sushi Japon has been around for years! It is definitely a must try if you are in the mood for sushi, sake or even a cold margarita. They have a great Happy Hour Menu which is our favorite, you get to try a little of everything plus some good peach Sake. Have not eaten on the Hibachi side just yet but can't wait to enjoy it. You don't have to eat Hibachi they do have 2 sections. Its a nice intimate ambiance not too big inside just perfect.We always receive great service and food, a must try if you are new to Austin.

I have been here a few times now, ordering something different each time. Everything has been delicious! The staff are both attentive and entertaining. It's good for both kids or a just a date night out.

Dined in last night for a birthday dinner and placed a to-go order. Once I got home--after the restaurant had closed--I realized my order was incorrect. I called as soon as they opened to inform them, only to be told that unless the order was completely untouched and returned (which was not feasible as I live an hour away), they wouldn't do anything.I requested a refund for the difference between what I paid and what I received, but they refused. When I asked to speak with someone higher up, I was told that the only person above the GM, Augustine, was the owner. Augustine insisted that I could submit a message through the website, but that the owner would tell me the same thing.Bottom line--don't waste your time or hard-earned money on an establishment with subpar service and incorrect orders, especially one that refuses to correct their mistake without further inconvenience to the customer. As an Austinite, trust me--there are far better hibachi restaurants worth your business.
