Tomodachi Sushi

This is the spot for sushi in Austin. Definitely on the more expensive end however if you want what I find to be the same quality as Uchiko at half the price then this is your spot.You cannot go wrong with any of their nigiri or sushimi. My personal favorites are the fatty salmon and Yellow Fin Tuna. Also important to note they do have a certificate highlighting they source their fish from Japan which is great to see. Shows you're paying for quality. If you're new to some of the dishes here definitely talk to the waitress, all of them are super knowledgeable and friendly. My personal favorite spot for sushi, intimate setting, that's also has some clubby music in the background 10/10.

Excellent! Always. Great food and staff. Neighborhood feel and small. Can get crowded so consider reservations. Sushi for takeaway never works for me and I think they even limit this ...they have other stuff that works if you need it Great lunch options it very good price

I adore this place!! The music was great, the staff was so friendly and funny, and the energy was amazing! The menu was one of a kind, lol. I had the Something Wrong roll and tried the Tempura #2 roll. Both were fantastic and I would highly recommend visiting if you have not been yet.

Love coming to this place everything is so good. You really can't go wrong, sushi, sashimi, dumplings, even the mochi ice cream. We always order so much, I walk out of there stuffed. Every time I try to pick out something different, and I'm never disappointed! The service is good, but I feel like sometimes they come a by a little more often. I get it though, they're always so busy, and that's for a reason!Not a very huge place, we usually sit at the bar because we're only a party of two, which isn't a problem. If you have a larger party, you shouldn't have too much of an issue.

Came here for my friends birthday and we sat in the little room in the back and it was spaciest and cute! We decided to go family style with 8 people (which i dont think i'll do again because we got mostly sashimi and nigiri. there wasn't enough to share). We ordered hot sake and it was good! We tried so many different dishes and the ones that stood out to me were the triple D rolls!! So so good!! The peppers were really good as well. Wagyu hot rock was a great experience but i wouldnt recommend with a big group because it does not fill you up! For your bday you can choose a free dessert and they play this funny happy birtjday song super loud in the speakers. Service? Phenomenal! Sushi came out quick, water was always filled, and amazing amazing attitude! We were treated with a smile!

Tomodachi Sushi is a hidden gem offering delicious sushi in a cozy and intimate setting in North Austin! The sushi bar and table seating provide options whether you're dining solo or with a group of friends or coworkers.They have weekday lunch specials reasonably priced and generously portioned, perfect for a satisfying and quick meal! The servers were attentive throughout my meal and I didn't feel rushed despite arriving 30 min before they closed (that's on me).Overall, will be back when the sushi craving hits.

My fiancée suggested a casual date night here because it was close to home and well-rated online. If you want a table on a Fri/Sat night, you will need a reservation because it's a popular spot in the area and gets packed; typically only bar seating will be available for walk-ins. Although one benefit of sitting at the bar is being able to observe their staff's teamwork behind the scenes, you can really tell they enjoy what they do!I would say Tomodachi is a high-value experience: very good sushi, sashimi, appetizers, drinks, and service without the downtown prices or ambiance. Their fish is served at the perfect temperature, which is increasingly rare these days without going to a fine dining restaurant. Will consider bumping this review up to 5 stars if the quality remains consistent in my future visits!Something Wrong & Ex Girlfriend Roll (4/5) - These special rolls are constructed well without relying on heavy sauces for flavor.Chef's Choice Sushi & Sashimi Combo (4/5) - Thick and delicious slices of sashimi, especially the buttery/fatty pieces of salmon and white tuna. Fresh lemon is added to enhance natural flavors, and jalapeño vinegar sauce is strategically used to brighten certain bites.Dynamite (5/5) - A hot appetizer consisting of melted cheese, shrimp, mushrooms, and a ton of BUTTER. You really can't go wrong with these ingredients!

One of my top sushi spots in north Austin!! Everything is fresh and flavorful. It's a great menu of options to choose from. The staff have been there for years and are friendly and knowledgeable. It's a cute space. Small and intimate but cozy and fitting. Highly recommend making a trip here!!

I recently dined at Tomodachi with friends, there were 6of us so we got the private room in the back and I must say it was a delightful experience from start to finish. Although there was no happy hour offered, the standard dinner pricing was reasonable, and we left with satisfied palates and full stomachs.I opted for the sushi dinner priced at $25, which included 8 pieces of sushi and a spicy tuna roll. The quality of the fish was exceptional, and the combination provided a substantial and fulfilling meal. Salmon sushi was a standout! Four of us ordered the same sushi dinner and we unanimously enjoyed the freshness and flavor of the sushi. The portions were generous, and by the time I finished my plate, I was comfortably full.To top off the evening, we tried the fried cheesecake, which turned out to delish. The crispy exterior complemented the creamy cheesecake inside, creating a perfect ending to the culinary journey.Our server, Susanna, deserves special mention for her impeccable service. She was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and ensured that our dining experience was seamless. Her friendly demeanor added a personal touch to the evening, making us feel welcomed!

Exquisite! Food, service, ambiance, all pleasing to one's palate. Fresh Fish with lively presentation.
