I got the worst food poisoning that I've ever had at this restaurant. Eat at your own peril.

i went to Yuki convinced i would like it but was disappointed. they have quality fish however a piece of nigiri was not deboned for me. the green tea rice, light soy sauce, and pickled ginger were all very sweet and overpowered any other flavor. staff were standoffish and did not say what each roll was as they sat it down

Very goood food. Expensive but probably as expected for sushi. Never seen green tea rice before and they did a great job with highlighting the flavor. The beef was good. Japanese oysters are very gamey compared to normal horse radish/cocktail sauce ones so proceed as you please lol

This place was pricey but honestly, it was a nice experience and the fish was so fresh. I will go back if I'm ever in the area.

Really good sushi, super fun atmosphere with every seat at the bar to watch the making of the food.

Honestly. Average. Wouldn’t bother making the drive out if you live in Austin. Way better places in town

Damn!! Every single thing I put in my mouth was surprisingly well balanced and popping with flavor. Cannot say in words how delicious the food was. Nice small intimate spot with bar seating, nice change from typical dining experience. Will be back, and can’t more highly recommend

I have tried some handroll bars across the US so this is not my first time. The taste of the food is okay, I can tell that the quality of the fish is decent. So if you are not too picky, this place is worth a try. The wasabi seems to be freshly ground, which is a plus.
However, personally I think there are some improvements that could have been made. First is the flavor and amount of rice. The rice grain is slightly broken , too overpowered by sugar and vinegar, as well as salt. So it cannot flatter the freshness of the fish, the amount of rice is also too much for a handroll. Second, the cut on the fish is not delicate, slightly on the big end of the size, making it a bit clumsy. Third, the hot and cold kitchen should be completely separated in a Japan restaurant but here, the chefs handled both cold dishes like sushi and hot dishes like tempura at the same time, in the same space, they did wash their hands but it still raise concern about food safety. Fourth, the handroll is left sitting a bit long before serving to the customer, making the nori layer no longer crunchy enough. Fifth, the lobster and crab handrolls both use crab/lobster imitation, which I think will not provide the best taste.
Best little spot in Austin! Super reasonable and great quality. Plus the staff is top notch.

The place is nice and pleasant, the food delicious. It only has one problem, and it's a short, white-skinned woman who works there. Her coworkers called her Dalias. Her behavior is arrogant and shocking, and when you look at her, she looks at you as if you were a nuisance. At first, I felt uncomfortable, and it's not the first time she's done this, since this is my second time here. She should hire people who are cheerful and enthusiastic about us, the customers. But the rest of the service, the chefs, and the food are very good.

We used to frequent Yuki pretty often when they first opened and the head chef/owner worked there, including when they opened their second location. Hadn't been in awhile and was looking forward to visiting again. The quality of the food has seem to gone down. Still an abundant of fish and large pieces, but they are not well put together and easily fall apart. I used to think their fried shrimp head (that came along with ordering sweet shrimp) was one of the best , but was greatly disappointed this time. The batter seemingly changed and now has a chewy texture (likely from using Tapioca flour).

Me and my girlfriend visited Yuki Handroll Bar on August 17 at 6 pm for her birthday dinner. Servers were professional—this feedback is solely about the kitchen crew. We noticed repeated eye rolls towards us, smiles that disappeared as staff turned away, and an abrupt hand-roll gesture. The kitchen crew is extremely unprofessional and the seating proximity made private conversation difficult. We still tipped well to protect the server’s effort.
This is about awareness and unfortunately, this was our worst dining experience ever. We’ll never come back due to the unprofessional kitchen crew.
I hope management (Jun Kim, Hyo Lim, John Kim, and Ben Yoo) take accountability and address the hospitality culture at the counter.
