Good food and good service. I came in for a group dinner and we had such a fun experience. Since we had a large group we ordered an array of sushi. My absolute favorite thing on the menu was the Hama chili special. I will come back for this any day. Also the matchi ipa was interestingly yummy. If you're sitting on the floor they will ask you to take off your shoes, so expect that depending on your where you sit.

I'm going to start this out by saying that all of our food was good, but the service or lack there of will have us not going back. You have to order all the food yourself from your phone and pay for it (and tip) at the beginning. The "servers" come by and drop off water, drop your food, and that's about it. Paying $85 for 5 items and not getting service will keep us away.

Been coming here since Covid times. The food is always great, fresh, and consistent. Friendly staff and clean environment. My favorite hidden sushi gem!

Celebrated a family birthday. They accommodated us bringing our own cake and have a very unique dining option to sit at low tables (traditional Asian style). We didn't know a place like this existed in Austin. The service was excellent.

This is my friend's favorite sushi spot in Austin, so six of us came to celebrate her birthday! The name itself really threw me off, since she said it was a sushi restaurant but it has Seoul Korean in the name. It turns out they offer both Korean food and sushi, with a pretty decent selection of options for both. Most of us opted for sushi, but two of our friends decided to get Korean food and said it was good. We got seated in their version of a tatami floor room. Unfortunately, I did not get a picture, but there are basically big gaps under the tables so you can sit on the floor with your legs in the hole. It feels kind of like sitting on the floor, and is definitely a unique experience. However, for a nearly 3 hour dinner, it was very uncomfortable after a while. You are not allowed to wear shoes in the room, so make sure to remove them before entering. The biggest issue we had here was the wait time. Once seated, you view the menu and place your order using a QR code on the table. Admittedly, we did take a while to decide what to order, but after placing our orders it took an hour for the food to come out. Unfortunately, our friends that ordered Korean food received their dishes in about 20 minutes, but the rest of us had to sit and wait for the sushi to arrive. The dinner ended up lasting nearly three hours due to the wait time. The birthday girl ordered miso soup and a glass of wine, which also did not come out for about 30 minutes, until she asked a waiter about it. I have to say, the staff here is super friendly and definitely did their best to make up for the long wait! After she asked about her order, they brought her soup out right away and even gave her an extra serving of wine. I thought the food itself was pretty standard. I ordered: - Miso Soup: My friend really talked this up... it's just standard miso soup. Their version does not contain seaweed. - Texas Roll: This roll is quite large and packed with salmon, tuna, eel, white fish, avocado, and shrimp tempura. It's topped with just a bit of eel sauce, which I was happy about since I wasn't in the mood for overly saucy sushi. - Chris Roll: This roll was a more normal size and was made with tuna, kanikama, masago, spicy mayo, and topped with eel. I was definitely in the mood for eel on this night, and this roll really satisfied my craving! I liked that it wasn't too saucy again, but still had a good amount of flavor. Two of my friends got the nigiri sets and some of the marbling on the fish looked a bit questionable. Compared to other people's pictures on Yelp, the fish had much less marbling and wasn't as vibrant in color. I didn't taste any so I can't comment on the flavor. After we all finished eating, they brought out a bowl of matcha ice cream and a candle for the birthday girl, which was such a nice touch! Overall, I thought this was a pretty standard sushi spot and not somewhere I would go out of the way to eat at again. The staff really made the experience so much better, but considering the food and the extremely long wait, I can't say I recommend this place.

DK Sushi is special. Immaculate presentation and taste is to die for. I’m from the north east (Boston) and DK tops any sushi I’ve had there. Keep it up DK ❤️

The host was unreasonable. We called in to reserve a table and specifically said I wanted to do the floor seating. Came there and was given a regular table (even my requested type of seating is available). The host said that in order to be able to sit there, I was supposed to reserve at least a day ahead. Few minutes later, people started coming in. There were a couple of group people that came in that didn't have a reservation (we overheard them say that) yet they were able to get those seats. I looked around and there are regular tables available. What does that tell me? What I don't like is that the host told me that even though I reserved a table, I wouldn't be able to seat there because I didn't reserve that table a day ahead. Complete bs. Food was fresh. But it took 50 minutes to get our orders. By the time we got our food, I had already lost my appetite (given the fact that I didn't like how the host/server treated us). Also, I don't like that you have to order online in order to get served (you can't order with the waiter/waitress ) yet you still have to pre pay a gratuity ‍. We will never come back here and will never recommend. The portions are small for the price and the service sucks.

Friendly greeting upon entering, amazing atmosphere & very fresh fish. Their flavor combinations are so unique and work so well. Can't wait to go back!

Very good food always quality. The kimchi soup is always good and so is the sushi. The service is also good and the interior is very homey and cozy.

I went to this sushi place with a few close friends, and the only specification was that there was to be no avocado in anything, all the avocado was to be on a separate plate as I have an allergy. So everything was served, and almost everything contained avocado! The manager pretty much said she couldn't really do anything for us except take off like ten bucks off our $100 order. So i'm never going back here, it was one thing that was asked and i don't even think the waiter even relayed the message. never again!

Thank you from Tribeza's recommendation that we went there. The outside appearance wasn't important!! Our order for dinner was amazing! Very FRESH!! The owner of son and daughter are friendly! Know some American Sign Language to communicate ! We will come back!! They were surprised that I told about the Tribeza to go to their restaurant! Melted my heart
