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!!“

“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!“

“For our bachelor party in Austin, we decided to switch gears from the traditional Texan BBQ scene and opted for some Japanese cuisine at Uchi. Initially hesitant about finding top-notch sushi in Texas, I was pleasantly surprised by the impeccable quality of fish and craftsmanship on display here. While the prices may lean towards the higher end and the portions are modest (as is customary with fine dining), the food quality and ambiance are truly unbeatable. Our waiter, who was nothing short of exceptional, guided us through the menu with expert recommendations. He even treated us to a delightful surprise--wagyu nigiri (which we devoured and I totally forgot to document)--knowing it was a special occasion for our bachelor party. For larger groups like ours, I highly recommend going the à la carte route rather than opting for omakase. Not only do you get more value for your money, but you also have full control over your dining experience. We indulged in a variety of cuts of fish, unagi nigiri, wagyu nigiri, shishito peppers, salad, and mapo tofu. To cap off our feast, we indulged in some tapioca and candy bar desserts, which we inhaled in record time. In the heart of Texas, Uchi stands as a testament to the diversity and excellence of the Austin dining scene. Try it out - you won't regret it! Tip: I recommend making a reservation before visiting to ensure you secure a spot at this gem of a place.“

“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!“

“5 stars well deserved! My husband and I have been here three times and the food is delicious, fresh and unique, phenomenal sake list and friendly staff. Writing a review tonight because Kaylen (spelling? Sorry) made our night extra awesome - so friendly, attentive and had great recommendations. Will be back many times over! Thank you!!“

“Sato san is a great sushi chef, who has a great passion for his art. I tried the 45 min omakase experience and it was great. He concisely explains every dish. The food is excellent and staff is friendly, definitely a must go spot for omakase in “

“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.“

“Amazing dinner with amazing chefs.“

“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!“

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

“The nigiri in my experience was better than the rollPlace is a little expensive for the limited menuUsed to going to hando in houston and paying half the cost for more food.Everything was very good though would go back. New little Korean owned spot“

“Some of the best sushi I’ve had in Austin out of a food truck I can get on my lunch break? Say no more. Eel and Brie was a combo I’d never think of but that hand roll was wildly good, the scallops were so fresh and delicious, and the tamago was the perfect bright flavorful appetizer!“

“Phenomenal service! It was such an amazing experience. This is my favorite omakase by far. The sushi was crafted with such care and attention. The rice was so so good! The combination of techniques and flavors really made the whole service so special.This place should be on everyone’s shortlist for Austin!“

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

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

“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!!“

“Like their sister restaurants Uchibā lives up to all hype and expectations. The highlights of our meal were the tiger cry bao, hama chili, and bluefin otoro. We ended on their divine chocolate crémeux dessert. I always appreciate how helpful the wait staff is at these restaurants in guiding you through the menu and recommending unique dishes. We will certainly be back for more!“

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

“The rolls were good and looked great but the menu options were all very simple and most of the "specialty rolls" are all very similar. It's good but there are much better places to visit with more flavorful and inventive menu items for the same if not less cost.“

“Everything about this place is amazing..“

“Our go to sushi spot in Austin. Always good, reasonably priced, and reliable. They even have booths to mimic seating on a Japanese floor.Vegetarian options: Cucumber roll, agedashi tofu, miso soup, edamame vegetable tempura, and moreParking: When busy can be hard to find parking. May be able to park in lots next door, but not sure of towing policy. Entrance to parking lot is narrow and easy to miss.Kid-friendliness: The booths are more kid friendly for those with toddlers bc they can semi-walk around inside them without bothering other guests. You can also fit infant car seats comfortably inside and tucked out of the way. But you are required to take off your shoes for the booths“

“If you're looking for a great dining experience, I highly recommend checking out this restaurant. The food is top-notch, and the ambience is simply outstanding. From the moment you walk in, you'll feel right at home in this welcoming and comfortable space. Whether you're in the mood for a romantic dinner for two or a fun night out with friends, this restaurant is the perfect spot. So don't hesitate to make a reservation today and enjoy an unforgettable meal!“

“I planned to go to Chinatown North for dim sum but the sign at the entrance said to head downstairs for dim sum, where Street is below. The waiter said they are connected but different establishments and the dim sum servers upstairs would come from the lower kitchen anyway. I ate here with a close friend after wrapping up weekend meetings in Austin. The place has a good vibe and friendly service, quite modern and clean. We shared six items and everything had great flavor, with the turnip cake and prawn siu mai being my favorites. Above average pricing for dim sum but I think that comes with the experience. Good spot for a date or with friends. I would go back.Parking: Free parking lot around the building.“

“Came for the sushi, but was blown away by the soba dish! Had a bit of a wait, but love that you can order drinks and hangout on the patio while you wait. The sparkling yuzu drink was so good! The cold soba was super refreshing with a flavorful dipping broth that you mix with all the toppings, and the noodles had a nice chewy texture. Definitely reminds me of the food in Japan! Sushi was pretty standard, but great quality for the price. The agedashi tofu was another gem. The service here is super friendly, and it seemed like a great spot to hang out with friends or have a date. Will be coming back specifically for soba again!“

“Very good sushi/sashimi, we tried a variety of rolls and all were fresh and delicious. Busy for a Tuesday, but not overcrowded. Indoor dining w/booths and good service. Reasonable prices, casual atmosphere.“

“Sushi is realllllyyyyy yummy and at a good price! I find that most mid point sushi places slack on quality and freshness, but this place does not cut corners! The lady working there is also really sweet.I had the yellowtail roll, spicy salmon roll, and white tuna nigiri and it came to about $30 including tip.Went back again, 11/18/23 and everything was great! Salmon tartare was super refreshing!“

“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 ❤❤“

“One of my favorite restaurants! A regular in our lunch rotation for years.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“My husband and I have been dining at Cho since we dated, and while it's always been good, we had never received exceptional service as we did tonight. Our server, Chess, was very pleasant and made us feel like we were right at home. He was very attentive and customer-oriented. Thank you, Chess, for providing us with world-class service! We'll be back to see you!“

“My friend and I were craving some sushi so we decided to get some for lunch. We had no place in mind, so when we were driving we came across this place. Never heard of it and thought we would try it out. Best decision ever. Great service and yummy sushi.“

“If you want to feel special and treated like you may be the only person in the world at dinner, go see Chef Endo and his team. Absolutely wonderful experience! Standouts for us were; every piece of raw fish, the Tomago was silly and the sake pairing was incredible. And of course, the unparalleled service.Thanks again guys!Much love.Luke and Ryan“

“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“

“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.“

“So many good things to say about this place!1.You walk up and order, so it’s an easygoing start to a great meal2.The menu is straightforward and non fussy: decision fatigue be gone (unless you’re starving and can’t think)3. The restaurant is clean, fresh, trendy, and casual4. The yakitori noodles were hot and flavorful/the steak and shrimp were really fresh too. It’s a basic stir fry with ramen type noodles, a few veggies, and a protein5. The cucumber mint limeade was freshly made - it was not artificial at allThis place is an excellent option if you want quick and fresh sushi/modern Asian menu and some refreshing drink options that you can sip on the go.I’ll be back when I’m in the area.Thanks, Muse!“

“Great Ambiance, Super personalized Service, Spectacular Food & Pricing :) Highly recommended“

“The food was delicious and the service was 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!“

“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“

“Great cozy atmosphere inside the restaurant. Welcoming staff and quickly found us a table.Food is tasty and servers are helpful in case of any questions.Didn’t have to wait a lot between courses.Definitely worth a try.Closest to authentic Japanese cuisine as you’ll get in south Austin.“

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

“Even with no points given for atmosphere or ambiance (it's in a corner of a strip mall) this was still a 5 star experience based solely and flavor, presentation and quality. Service is different but great, for what it is. You kind of have to experience it to understand, how to order, where the complimentary miso soup is, where the condiments are, etc., but nothing was lacking as far as we were concerned. We also found the prices to be reasonable, again especially for the flavor and portion size of our dishes. We'll be back!“

“I've been going less and less these days because I've noticed a downturn in quality, particularly in the rice. I don't know if they changed their recipe but the rice has been overpoweringly sweet and flavored in a way that distracts from the sushi...“

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

“We loved it ! A sweet lady surprised my 4 year old with an ice cream after we payed the check and we already out heading to our car! Sushi was great !“

“Tried 10 rolls and was satisfied with 8/10. The more expensive rolls ranging $18-$20 are not worth it. They're not that unique or great. Apart from those rolls, presentation and flavors were good. I liked the vegetarian options. I recommend.“

“The food was absolutely delightful, exceeding all expectations. It arrived promptly and was surprisingly affordable for such delicious fare. I highly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking a satisfying meal without breaking the bank.“

“Awesome meal as always Great rolls Great service“

“Excellent food and service!“
