34 Best Japanese Restaurants near Cedar Park

“Awesome sushi tonight nice to see Chef Andy … Sean is amazing as always after 8 plus years !!! Go see him !! He rocks !“

“When I saw this place call itself an Izakaya I came with high hopes, as when I was in Japan our home was very near an amazing Izakaya and a Yakatori restaurant that we went to under our train station in Osaka.

This place is a little different than what I was hoping for/expecting

The food was ok, the menu has a lot. But it was more of a sushi place with some Izakaya/Yakatori mainstays

I was hoping for Tsukune, tebaski, sunagimo in addition to the kaarage and tonkatsu

So to focus on what I did have:

Tonkatsu: was pretty good came on a plate with the pork cutlet and lightly topped with tonkatsu sauce with some partly fried potatoes and a couple slices of cucumber and tomato, the pork was cooked well and was juicy, the breading was not quite crunchy, not sure if they use shokupan or if it's a freshness issue, the breading did easily separate from the pork

I also ordered chicken yakatori and pork Yakatori, they came on a plate with lemons and shredded cabbage

The chicken was cooked well, the sauce they used (tare?) was flavorful and I enjoyed them, a tad well done

I did not enjoy the pork, it was tough and dry

I also ordered some unagi sashimi, which came with some ginger and wasabi (a bit milder and sweeter than I expected)

The unagi was cooked well and served warm and was very tasty

I would like to come back and try the Una don or katsu don, a table next to us ordered it and it looked really good, will update if I try it again.
Thanks“

“My favorite date night spot. Have tried almost everything on the menu and it's all fantastic. Some of the freshest and best tasting Sushi in all of the Austin area.“

“We just celebrated my daughter birthday there and the whole thing was fantastic! The service was superb and the chef was way more interactive than you normally receive at other places. We will def be back!“

“The food here is really excellent and it's such a great addition to cedar Park. I've been here twice now. Tried the omakassi last week. The food was amazing and the chef was very kind and engaged. My only complaint would be the speed. The person I was eating with was eating her courses much faster than I was and instead of slowing down so we could experience together. The chef ran through the entire meal in about 30 minutes. This was disappointing because it is a 2-hour seating and I ended up leaving several entree pieces behind“

“This restaurant has amazing food. Every time we’ve been we’ve enjoyed our meal. My daughter loves sushi so we go occasionally. My favorite is an off menu roll called Monica Vegas. Their cold Lychee sake is to die for.“

“Excellent food for the prices! Ive had to update my ratings. I think anyone looking for some great tasty Chinese food to-go will find they do NOT disappoint. This is not really a sit-down restaurant, but they have added some tables and chairs. The General Tso chicken is prob THE BEST I've ever ever had, and it's to go!!!! The chicken is crispy under the sauce and is not soggy. It is sooooo good!! The sesame chicken is one of my go-to dishes for lunch time. The beef and broccoli is always good and one of my go-to dishes. The black pepper steak is pretty much the same as the beef and broccoli but with bell peppers and onions, which I prefer. You have the option of getting white rice or Fried rice with your dishes, its not full of flavor, but it was not oily either, so I prefer that. The white flat noodles, think it was Pad ke mao, and it was very tasty with a little heat. My new fav hole in the wall, I would definitely come back again. Also, the lunch time specials are really good deals, u get bang for your buck!!Hope you guys have the same experience.“

“The Shrimp Teriyaki was good. I do wish the salad wasn’t put with the hot food. It makes it hot too and mushy. The big bowl with extra veggies doesn’t travel well and there aren’t many veggies on this like advertised, and didn’t taste that well. It was soupy. The lettuce wraps were okay. I still recommend this place.“

“Having eaten some of the top spots in Boston, NYC, Chicago, LA, SF etc. this was on of the best experiences I have ever had. Incredibly fresh fish, amazing rice, and hard to beat price. Will be coming back again. Special shoutout to Liam, give that dude a raise!!“

“Incredible food. loved the salmon. ice cream very rich and creamy.“

“18 delightfully creative courses. Traditional technique mixed with Texan flair. So unique and tasty. Sushi master Dan put on quite the show for us. Absolutely worth it. Brings something to omakase that I’ve never experienced before.“

“We are so happy to have Sushi to the Moon near us! It is some of the best sushi we have had in all of Austin! Super fresh and very creative!“

“This is your sign to visit Nabe.
If I could, I’d give them 10 stars. delicious and fresh sushi, exceptional service (special shoutout to Anna) and beautiful ambiance - l it’s not so loud and you can have a convo with your party.
I have some sushi-snob tendencies and let’s just say I don’t like going anywhere else lol“

“This is my favorite sushi place. My whole family loves coming here. When we order pick up it is always correct and ready quickly. We LOVE SUSHI KOEN!!“

“Fantastic meal tonight NYE 2021. Best sushi 🍣 in town in my opinion.“

“Excelente staff 💓 very friendly“

“Service was the standout at Misu Sushi. From the moment we sat down, the staff was attentive without hovering, drinks stayed filled, and the rolls came out quickly even with a decent crowd in the dining room. You can tell the front of house takes pride in how they run the place. Timing between courses was right, questions about the menu got real answers instead of guesses, and checkout was quick and painless. That level of attention alone makes it worth a return visit.

The sushi itself was solid but not exceptional. Rolls were fresh, the rice was properly seasoned, and portions were fair for the price, but nothing on the plate separated it from the other sushi options in the area. The fundamentals are all there, and the presentation was clean, it just needs a little more ambition from the kitchen to match what the service is already delivering. If that gap closes, this becomes one of the best spots around. I will be back either way.“

“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!!“
