43 Best Sushi Bars in Austin

“I would like to respectfully start with; I’ve been to Uchi multiple times over the years and will never forget my first experience (which will always be the best in my mind.) That being said — tonight might have been the closest to first I’ve ever had. Chance, our server was attentive, knowledgeable, easy going, brought some of the best plates when we asked “bring us what you like/anything you think we missed” literally 12/10 would recommend. Ask for Chance, he knows his shiiiiiiii* and made our night absolutely amazing and something we will never forget!“

“Highly recommend as this is truly the ultimate culinary experience! Not only that but Chef Saine is adds a personable touch to the service and is also super entertaining. TJ does phenomenal recommending drinks with the dishes. Truly a unique experience.“

“Great experience! The chef definitely has years of experience in his craft. The food preparations are a work of art. The flavor combinations are impeccable. The chef explains each dish with great detail, including the process of aging certain fish. The flavor can't be explained. Try it for yourself. We'll deserved Michelin star. Will return.“

“I recently checked out Uroko and had an awesome sushi experience. Their temaki (hand rolls) are made fresh to order, and the 12-course omakase on weekend nights was a highlight — each nigiri was beautifully crafted and full of flavor.

The place feels intimate and well-curated — small seating, a relaxed vibe, and chefs engaging with guests. Staff were great in explaining each dish, and you can tell they care about top quality ingredients. If you’re into sushi with finesse and heart, this is one to bookmark.“

“The food and the customer service was amazing. Best Poke in town!“

“Our experience was fantastic, from the excellent service to the fresh food. We really enjoyed the ambiance and will definitely be back. We ate at the counter and tthe restaurant does a great job staggering reservations so it didn't feel like there were others dining right next to us the entire time.“

“Amazing dinner with amazing chefs.“

“Definitely worth a visit at least once! Soulful meal and service experience.“

“The food was good and the presentation was clean and creative. The sashimi and nigiri pieces were quite large—I ended up cutting them into bite-sized pieces with my chopsticks. The handrolls were a good size and easy to eat. The menu doesn’t offer much variety, but now I know: if I want more options, I’ll just go elsewhere. Still, a solid spot if you know what to expect.“

“Love this place! We went to the one in Round Rock Tx and absolutely fell in love with the staff and the food! Such a great spot. Food is fresh and delicious! It’s our new favorite spot! Todd and Andi“

“WOW! No words aside from being super happy I end up there. One of the most special dinners I had in my life. The attention from the chef, su chef and staff was amazing. Such great passion with the food and the concept. They all so organic into wanting to creat a culinary experience. Would def visit again and get to meet the chef again in his future restaurants. Mario, the su chef, will make his dream come true and own his own place 🤙“

“Tonight, my husband and I tried Uchiko for the first time. We had the Okamase. Everything was absolutely delicious. They put so much creativity and detail in every dish. We had a wonderful waitress. I would definitely recommend it.“

“•Prices great
•Selection extensive
•Sushi delicious
•Service perfect (thanks Johnny!)
•Atmosphere appropriate

•Music terrible (so loud, and just generally awful for a Japanese restaurant) Y'all can do better!“

“I ate here while in town for Afrotech! I started with the Sunomono Salad (Cucumber, green onion, crab stick, octopus, radish sprouts, sesame seeds with ponzu sauce). I then had two rolls: 1. Who’s Your Daddy? (no rice) (Deep fried crab, cooked shrimp, cream cheese with special sauce); 2. I Love Tuna (in: spicy Tuna, cucumber out: Blue fin Tuna, green onion sauce: Garlic ponzu, green onion, masago) EVERYTHING was amazingly good, the staff was very friendly, efficient, and ensured you had a great dining experience. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“Fun, vibrant atmosphere. Great service and a menu with lots of variety and flavor. Wonderful addition to Circle C! 😊“

“Great deal for great food Love how it taste it! And fresh very yummy“

“yummy! would go there again!“

“Korean review: really inexpensive and one of the only places in South Austin to get your Korean food fix. I know other reviews had some service problems but experienced NONE of that. Greeted immediately when walking in, we picked our seats and had multiple staff during our hour and a half stay check up on us even with a crowd of others arriving after us. We got the Kimbap appetizer split it for two (was delicious didn't need anything else like a sauce - perfect on it's own!). I got the beef bulgogi and my friend got the Rock Bibimbap with spicy pork (like regular Bibimbap but in a hot pot!). YALL LEMME TELL YOU THIS WAS SO GOOD. I was having an emotional experience with these flavors. Banchan selection was good too. Got 6 of them and one of them kimchi. I'll be back for take out and eventually try out the Japanese and Sushi portion of the menu.“

“If you looking for good Japanese food! friendly waiter!i“

“Great place! Love the peppered Tuna! Great happy hour!“

“It is a privilege to be sitting across from Chef Mike, who has absolutely destroyed my sushi-eating experience for other restaurants. I'm ruined for life! I've been to Craft, Toshokan, Sushi Bar, Otoko, Endo, and most other not omakase-specific restaurants (like Uchi, Tomo...), but nobody makes sushi the way Chef Mike does because his rice is special and served warm. The two super-nice people you see make up 100% of the staff. They don't even have a dishwasher. And did you know you're not even allowed to tip on the alcohol because they just want their customers to be happy? As a result, the best omakase in Austin, #18 most exclusive restaurant in the world, is also one of the cheapest! That's seriously insane.“

“I love the flavors, and the creativity of the chef's for making the chef's specials so pleasing to the eye as well as delightfully satisfyingly delicious. Yumm !! I ordered the dynamite, and the spicy shrimp roll this time. So good!!“

“The food was delicious and the service was great!!!“

“Delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Elvia is awesome sushi is fantastic I’ve been there 3 times this week“

“Absolute favorite sushi spot in Austin! I’m vegetarian and the tofu roll is amazing! Corn cheese and veggie tempura appetizers are also delicious. My friends love the fish rolls and the poke bowls which are so fresh and full of toppings. Super laid back place, family type service and so enjoyable to eat at. Suuuper fair prices as well! Highly highly recommend.“

“I am unsure why this place isn't super busy. The people are so nice and the place is owned by the same people that own fat Dragon Chinese. The food is really good, pretty good quality for really reasonable pricing and really cute decorations ♡ my husband and I came here for a date night and the food was yummy .“

“My wife and I discovered this place years ago in search of ramen and ever since then we rarely go any other place to get our fix. This small little place may be tight, but the atmosphere and the food make it all worth the experience and taste you get from this place. The people here are all just ever so delightful to interact with and it's truly a hidden gem that is getting the recognition it deserves. 10/5 would recommend if you're starting a ramen search“

“Just ate here for the first time and was blown away! The food was phenomenal, they have great options for Type 1 diabetics (my husband) and the employees were so great! Best Poke place around!“

“Only next level Japanese dining enthusiasts would be able to immediately recognize that they have chosen well. If you are lucky enough to discover the Happy Hour menu then you’ve hit the jackpot. Do yourself a favor and go because ain’t nobody have dry aged fish! What?!? Yes this separates Lucky Robot from the rest of the Japanese places in Austin. Put it on the bucket list folks!“

“Great chain grocery store, we visit every time we come to Austin, fantastic range of fresh and dry products. Could spend hours here on a hot day just wandering around checking out the displays. Cannot wait to visit again. TIP: This is Texas so remember to buy your wine before Sunday. If you’ve found this review helpful, I would appreciate a thumbs up below.“

“Would eat here every day if I could. This place is a go to when I have friends visit from out of town. I LOVE it!! There is another poke place closer to where I live and even with most of the same toppings and items I still will pick Poke House every time!!“

“I love Izumi! I’ve been here about 4 times and the food is always good. The staff is fast and friendly!“

“I have to say this is my favorite sushi restaurants in Austin Tx…. It’s a dive so all you divas keep looking. The food is incredible and the place is tiny and they stack supplies in the hallway to the bathroom/kitchen… I go here at least 4 times a month. Cheers 🥂“

“Absolutely the BEST vegan sushi, noodles, red rice, fried eggplant, & Chive pancakes!! My new fave!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Everything about this place is amazing..“

“The unagi roll with brie was outstanding! And the taiyaki was nice and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with just the perfect subtle sweetness of red beans. An elevated yet affordable take on authentic Japanese flavors. So excited they moved in right next to my workplace! 😁
Fast, friendly service. The maneki neko and Japanese music are a nice touch. I'll certainly be back soon! ご馳走さまでした！“

“we love Yanagi! food, atmosphere, service. it's all A1!!“

“This place really made our day! It hit all the right notes: superior location (scenic patio is off of a quiet pedestrian walkway in the Domain) , relaxing vibe inside and out; they have a unique, flavorful and awesome menu. We had the Low country fried rice - it was over the top! And, the crab cakes - full of crab with crispy slaw on the side. Last but most importantly was the service. Esmeralda was so welcoming with a beautiful smile. Immediately made us feel like we were in the perfect place and encouraged us to relax and enjoy the fantastic food. She knew the menu like an expert and she checked on us frequently. She’s a gem.
We can’t wait to come back. Thank you Esmeralda and Plank!!“

“Everything was perfectly done. Outstanding flavors. Will be back!“

“Brand new hand roll bar officially open inside Texas saké Co. There's limited seats, 10 total, order at the bar only. Great quality fish with dynamic profile of flavors for handrolls. Counter service, great attention to detail with the menu. The chefs are bar service are awesome. Enjoy some handrolls and sake pairings or flights. I enjoyed the 3 piece combo“

“When in Westlake, and looking for delicious Chinese this would be the spot. From the moment you enter everyone is smiling, music is playing, and it’s definitely upbeat! Service is almost instantly greeted with water, and someone asking what they can get for you. I love this kind of experience. Food is amazing, and the price is good. Love you guys!“

“Great outside dinning patio and service overall great atmosphere for any age“
