50 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!“

“Exceptional omakase. One of my favorite restaurants in Austin. The chef is extremely personable and kind. Made me feel incredible comfortable throughout the whole experience. My girlfriend and I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. The food itself was absolutely delicious. Every single nigiri was exceptional, with wonderful rice texture. The fish itself was always excellent quality and the sauces lightly coated on each fish were excellently paired with the flavor profile of the fish itself. Drinks: I did the sake pairing which had two options, a standard pairing for $80 iirc, and prestige pairing for $100. I did the pairing for $100. It was outstanding. My friend opted to do the prestige wine pairing ($110); she thoroughly enjoyed that pairing, as well. After the 22 courses, we went back the bar/lounge area and opted to finish our night with a glass of or Born Gold sake. The service team was incredible throughout the meal. Their presence was very low-key, but they were informative and really kind. Will absolutely be returning in the future.“

“The food was super fresh! It’s sorta different compared to the one in Killeen, Tx. Although, it was still amazing in its own way! Our waitress was super sweet and the atmosphere was quiet and nice. Would definitely come back. We had dinner!“

“This place is a solid 3.5 star but the service takes it up to 4. It’s the most reasonably priced omakase and they are quite efficient but shouldn’t come as news that some pieces are amazing but others are just ok. Obviously you’re getting what you pay for. I do like that they do a $30 sake flight it’s such a fair price and add a nice touch. Ended up trying the hand rolls after as I was still hungry and I must say they are so generous with the fish and the portions are just right. The only problem was that it’s only 1 person working and a ton of people ordering so it kind of beats the concept of a hand roll place if you have to wait 15 mins for a roll.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Excelente staff 💓 very friendly“

“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!!“

“Some of the best and creative sushi in town. 17 coursed and well done.“

“es la primera ves que estamos aqui mi esposo mi hijo y yo todo estubo delicioso un poco de tiempo la espera pero valio la pena esperar.. nos encanto definitivamente regresaremos. El personal super amable. lindos. muchas gracias“

“First time here. Excellent service; very friendly wait ataff. Great selection of sake. Also beer & wine. Very good selection of sushi & sashimi. Very reasonable prices. My only suggestion would be to make the spicy sushi a bit spicier. If I lived in the area, I’d definitely be back!“

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

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

“I love Japanese food and I walked out of this restaurant feeling truly satisfied!
The food was great, service was excellent & the restaurant was super cozy. This restaurant will be added to the list of restaurants we frequently visit ❤️“

“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!“

“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.“

“Tempura roll was good, Drinks were good, The Ramen tasted good just that the meat needed to be cooked more it seems it was just boiled. I just didnt like that they were out of certain things. I dont like when buisnesses do that in general :(. Also this place has no asian employees!!! Looks Latino owned like the asian food like I had back home which is ok but doesn't feel authentic!!“

“It’s the best sushi ever and it’s a food truck. I just happened to yelp it and OMG!! Not to mention the lovely people who run it. Thanks for having me and I will be returning“

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

“Delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“This is one of the friendliest and most helpful staffs I’ve ever met! Had car trouble and they gave me water and asked if I needed any help they were just super nice and attentive. I got some sushi while there it was amazing! 10/10“

“We dropped in on a whim and were very impressed. great service, relaxing environment and delicious sushi! I can't wait to go back.“

“The food at Umi Sushi Bar is excellent! It’s one of the best casual Japanese spots in Austin. I 100% recommend it. The prices, the food quality, and the freshness of the protein—everything is delicious. I recommend the spicy edamame (amazing!), the Hawaiian roll, the rock & roll, and the gyoza—they’re all so good! Plus, they have 2-for-1 deals. It’s my favorite restaurant—we visit weekly. Also, the sunomono salad is delicious, and the staff is super kind and attentive. If you visit often, they even give you cash back—so take advantage!“

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

“After a seven month wait, we finally made it!!! If you ever want proof of concept that less is more, look no further than Tsuke Edomae. Chef Michael and his partner provided the eight of us an evening of seamless service. Every bite was, honestly, I don't know how to describe. The flavors are all familiar, just better. There is no place in Texas where you can get fish as fresh, as he personally procures the ingredients weekly in Tokyo. What we were lucky enough to eat last night had only been in the country 22 hours. We have eaten sushi all over the country and the world, but the closest I've been to Tokyo in Texas is at Tsuke Edomae.“

“Absolutely amazing❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ best sushi!“

“Everything about this place is amazing..“

“Five stars for my absolute favorite neighborhood sushi spot! We've been loyal regulars for 4 years now. The prices are great, and we almost never have to wait for a table (maybe 10-15 mins max on Saturdays). You have to try the Jalapeño Bomb appetizer—it’s a must-have every time. The Assorted Roll Dinner Special is a fantastic value and comes with a house salad that has the most amazing dressing. My husband and I always order the Lion King Roll (delicious baked salmon on top!), the Yummy Roll, and the Troy Roll. Their chicken ramen is also delicious if you want something warm. Love this place!“

“Friendly hostess. Great food. The martinis are the best. They don’t mess around. Best service all the way around.“

“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!“

“Very good bento box! I had the beef bulgogi and kiddo had the chicken teriyaki. Everything tastes fresh and well prepared. It was a good value with 2 pieces of nigiri in addition to the typical Cali roll, tempura veggies, soup, salad, rice, veggies, and gyoza. We will be back!“

“Awesome people, beautiful space, great sushi, and live music. What’s not to love!?“

“The food was delicious, the attention of our waiter very well gave us very good dinner options and he also spoke Spanish. A wonderful experience in this restaurant. We loved it! Super recommended 🫶🏻❤️“

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

“Amazing happy hours and the sushi is great!“

“Love everything about it ❤️😍🙌“

“Fantastic Hamachi and atmosphere ❣️“

“Fantastic experience from entry to exit. Child friendly. Excellent service. Excellent food. Highly recomend for a chill deliscious meal!“

“Everything about this experience was brilliant. The chefs and staff created a really fun experience for my wife's 30th birthday. Each bite of the 16 course meal was so cleverly designed, and the Sake pairings were perfect. Above the food, it was the conversations and atmosphere which made it so enjoyable for us. We loved talking with the chefs and going through that experience with them! Definitely a once in a lifetime experience! Also, sort yourself an Uber, 6 servings of sake takes its toll!“

“We can review only the food as we ordered delivery with Uber eats.
In general the foods was good
Orange Chicken rated 4 too much sauce
Chicken broccoli rated 3.5 too much sauce, the broccoli was great and crispy.
Shrimp lettuce wrap 4
Beef fried rice 4
We definitely will order again.
Fast delivery very well packed.
It arrived warm right to eat“

“I’m from NYC and Made a spontaneous visit with my best friend on my last day in Austin cause I was craving Sushi. This spot is an absolute gem! The service, the atmosphere, the food and the best part was walking into Minako Yoshida’s Lite N’ Up! They had entire Japanese City Pop playlist playing while we ate. One of the best experiences i’ve in on my visit to Austin“

“Today 4/15/2026 I ordered hunan shrimp with black beans sauce and vegetables. snow pea has a good selection of lunch special menu. Excellent choice for good Chinese and Japanese food.
-----
This is my favorite Chinese restaurant. I always order from Chefs Special Menu which is higher price than regular lunch. Today we tried bock Choi which has very unique taste. We were told this is different bock Choi vegetable and it is the original Chinese vegetable. It does look different and has darker green color. We also tried trout fish in very tasty black beans sause. One of our favorite dish is eggplant with pork. And the last dish we had is pork fried rice which my loves.“

“We gave this place a try after seeing it opened in the Grove. We’ve dined at multiple sushi spots in Austin including Craft, Neighborhood and many more. This is easily some of the best sushi we’ve had in town for the best value. The value this place offers is insane for the level of quality you’re getting we both felt it was on par with some of the higher end sushi we’ve had in the city. Only places like Craft with a Michelin star beating it but definitely better than Uchiko or others. Absolutely worth a date night or visit! The only non 5/5 category here is the ambiance was a little off as it’s a new restaurant and the dining room was slow to fill up. We really hope they make it because the value and quality deserve to be rewarded! We will be returning soon.“

“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!!“

“Fantastic personal, great food. 5 Star place.“

“If you’re a sushi lover, you HAVE to try Little Sushi. I’m super picky about my sashimi, but everything here was unbelievably fresh and flavorful.
Each bite tasted like it was straight from the ocean. 10/10 will be coming back soon！“

“Our most favorite spot ❤️ so delicious ❤️“
