50 Best Sushi Bars near West Lake Hills

“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 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 best, truly the best sushi, maybe even restaurant in general, in Austin and the greater Austin area. My friends and I have been here on multiple occasions and the service, speed, and quality, have been consistent and superb with each and every visit. We keep comming back, because there's no other place we'd rather go to indulge and have a nice lunch or dinner. My personal favorites are the machi crunchy roll, sweetheart roll, and red bean ice cream. Please support this amazing place and friendly staff.“

“Cannot recommend this place more! Everything was absolutely amazing, from the bites to the atmosphere, this might honestly be my fave new restaurant in Austin. I had the miso soup, the crunchy salmon handroll, and the fried mochi, which had such great dipping sauces: strawberry yuzu, black sesame, and a caramel one. Everything was very tasty and service was good too, 5 stars all around!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“Amazing dinner with amazing chefs.“

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

“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!“

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

“this is one of the first restaurants I went to in Austin. 5 years ago and its still a favorite. love the vibe, it's never too busy, the food is delicious and the owners are nice. Today my pregnancy baby brain kicked in and I forgot my purse there and didn't notice for over 2 hours, they set it aside for me at their reserved table so no one would take it. Love drunk fish ❤❤“

“Food/vibes are great. I’ve visited Sushi Roku about 13 times now. Although, male servers are lazy and terrible at their service. The girl severs work twice as much harder than the guys. If you want the best of the best experience or handling your business here, ask for the girl servers. Gay servers are okay though 🐬“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“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“

“Hand's down, our favorite sushi place around! We always sit at the sushi bar and Drew is amazing! I highly recommend the Big Bang roll. Has a little bit of everything and is a flavor orgasm in your mouth! LOVE!“

“Very warm and welcoming vibes.

Chef Mike and Nhi are lovely humans.

Chef Mike’s skill is obvious—his precision and craftsmanship clearly reflect his passion.

We’ve been to Craft, Uroko, and Sushi by Scratch, and this was the best omakase we’ve had in Austin so far. It’s also the toughest reservation to land, which isn’t surprising once you experience it. Definitely worth the experience.

Nigiri are very fresh and taste very balanced (sauce, rice, temperature, etc). Price is typically for an omakase.“

“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“

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

“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!“

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

“Amazing happy hours and the sushi is great!“

“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!“

“it eas a wonderful experience with excellent staff and damm good viddlles. 💯😎🤓❤️🙏“

“Sushi hi is always amazing! Went for the reverse happy hour tonight and it was wonderful! Service usually only had one front of house person but they do a great job every time. Still very attentive even when it’s busy. Posting a new menu on here for everyone lol“

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

“Found this hidden gem on social media and, as a foodie, I had to check it out for myself! 🍣✨ The sushi was amazing, the staff was incredibly welcoming, and the whole experience was fantastic. Definitely a spot I'll be visiting more often! 😊💛“

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

“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 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.“

“Everything about this place is amazing..“

“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!!“

“Our most favorite spot ❤️ so delicious ❤️“

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

“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！“

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

“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.“

“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 restaurant is located in a Whole Foods Market. Right next to the fruit station. Most people come here in search of the freshest and most high quality ingredients in their city. So what’s the deal with the sushi place? ? I got Salmon Teriyaki Bowl, it was $15.49 & delicious. Dodged the veggies, not there’s anything wrong with them, I’m just scared of vegetables. Overall, I can see this becoming a more frequent lunch for me in a pinch, Especially if they put JOYRIDE in the Candy Section! ?“

“Best sushi in downtown !!!“
