We have been going to Lavaca teppan for years, and it never disappoints. Service is top notch, food is unbeatable for affordable Japanese food in Austin. We love the teriyaki beef teppan yaki, but we’ve tried the sushi, tempura, and other items on the menu and the quality never disappoints.

One of the only Japanese restaurants with dine-in available. Freshly cooked hot food and attentive service, Interior is clean, simple, and proper. Cemented, wooden, with white chairs... this makes the space bright. Ceiling to floor windows that allows you to people-watch.All items besides sushi are available. Kirin beer is available, but it was unknown if there was Asahi. Food came out neatly presented, with rice was served separately in bowls; half of the plate was filled with vegetables.Social distancing and masks were complied with. Pleasant meals. Thanks!

A top place for tasty Japanese food. Got there near six, it wasn't packed at all. The service was very sociable and kind. It has a good interior. Feels similar to a restaurant in Philadelphia that I enjoyed visiting.

Meh. Menu looked plain. I ended up ordering a fried piece of pork and it was flavorless. Only gave an extra star for the nice waiter.

Quant little place. Quick to receive our food, as it was the middle of the day during the week. I don't remember the name of the dish I ordered, but it was simple and highly enjoyable.

Had a business luncheon here the other day. The appetizer chicken was really good. Loved the sauce with it. I got a noodle dish, can't remember the name. It wasn't bad at all. It just needed a bit more sauce. I'm excited about visiting more often and trying more on their menu.

Every time I go to this restaurant, I am always pleased. Having a light appetite, I only wanted miso soup which is delicious. I did try the brown steamed rice with the spicy red condiment in the small bottle and a tasty salad. My friend got Teriyaki chicken and enjoyed her choice.

Best katsu don anywhere.

Been here multiple times for lunch. Not usually crowded. All the dishes are delish. Food is reasonably fast and the staff are very polite
A great find and even better meal. Very tasty. We had the teriyaki chicken and teriyaki beef. Lucia was our server and wonderful. Thumbs up from my crew.

My friend and I came here for lunch, waited and waited for our food, then finally she had to leave to pick up her son. We let our waiter know that we had to take our food to go. He came back out and said he had completely forgotten to put in the order. He didn’t even offer to cover our drinks or edamame. So we still paid for that and left our lunch hungry. Sorry Levaca Teppan— NOT impressed.

Tofu udon soup had a lot of flavor, noodles were perfectly done! Tofu Mabo had great spicy kick to it. I look forward to trying their yaki udon and teppan yaki. Nice ambience, good service; cute spot. There is paid parking around, including street meter parking, which is free after 6pm (last time checked, but don't quote me on that). Definitely recommend!

Good, affordable, & healthy. Too bad sushi only available after 4. Went with a vegan, lacto intolerant, gluten free client. Said she never has this many choices.

We loved the Tori Kara (fried chicken) appetizer! The Beef Udon was really good. Great happy hour specials!
