Some of the best sushi in Austin. We ordered gyozas, garlic edamame, the Barton springs , and the Hawaiian roll. You can tell the food was cooked from scratch and very fresh. We will definitely be back.

Dawa Sushi is an absolute gem! The sushi was so fresh and delicious – honestly better than some of the sit-down sushi restaurants I’ve been to. The service was warm and friendly, and the whole setup is such a cute, relaxing spot to hang out and enjoy amazing food. My boyfriend and I had the best time here and we’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend if you want quality sushi in a chill atmosphere!

We have been going to Dawa for over a year now and absolutely love it! The owners are super kind and make some of the best Korean and Japanese food in town. My go-to is the Erin’s bento box with spicy korean chicken and it hits every time. Cannot recommend Dawa enough!!

Always super fresh and delicious. This time it was pouring raining/hailing and we ran to sit in the car. The staff then brought the meal to our car which was above and beyond and so kind. A great staple for easy sushi and always hits the spot!

This is a good truck pod, so giving 5/5 stars on atmosphere because it’s what you would expect! The rolls are big! 8 pieces each and wonderful flavor. I ordered the spicy salmon and rainbow rolls. They are prepared fresh and the flavors were fabulous!

This sushi is better than most brick and mortars Ive been to in Austin. Everything is fresh and tasteful.

Dawa Sushi is a food truck located in a food truck park, with plenty of picnic tables scattered around for dining. It seems to be run by an older Korean couple, which adds a charming, homey touch.

We stopped by on a Friday for lunch and took advantage of their happy hour (available before 3 PM). We ordered the Dawa Roll Combo for $16.50, which includes two classic rolls and your choice of a half specialty roll (Barton Springs, Zilker Park, Spicy Onion Crunchy, or Phoenix). We went with the Crunch Roll (avocado, cucumber, crab meat, eel sauce, spicy mayo, and crunchy flakes), Eel Roll (baked eel, avocado, cucumber, eel sauce, and sesame seeds), and the Zilker Park Roll (crab meat and avocado, topped with more avocado, eel sauce, spicy mayo, and sesame seeds).

While all the rolls were good and tasted fresh, they leaned on the simpler side and had fairly similar flavor profiles. The Zilker Park Roll was my favorite of the three.

The food took about 10–15 minutes to come out, and everything tasted fresh and light. After eating, we brought our plate back up to the counter. We plan on coming back to try some of their other rolls, especially the ones with fish.

SO DELICIOUS! I can't even put into words. Flavors are amazing! I don't think you can pick a bad roll! We ordered the cowboy, alligator, Ruth is on fire, and Hawaiian.
