33 Best Japanese Restaurants near Cedar Park

“Wanna learn about saki (an area in which I'm woefully ignorant)? Wanna have some excellent sushi? The same answer for both: Soto's. Came to Austin to see family and the total solar eclipse, but after family Soto's took the prize. (Sorry Austin, you may be a great place for other reasons but when cloudy you're not a very good place to witness the TSE). Soto's, however, is a great place to go for some expertly prepared sushi accompanied by an education about saki. Loved our server who was our saki sommelier. He let us taste three different selections, each with its own characteristics. One knocked it out of the park. Absolutely loved it. So sign me, David "ASS" (A Saki Sampler:) M.“

“Great sushi! We had the spicy Hawaiian roll which was amazing, the geisha roll with a miso dollop on top and a fried roll I can't remember the name of but it had smoked salmon and was good, but super filling. The spicy garlic edamame was delicious but the sauce turned into soup at the end and you'll need your water refilled often! The service was good, but could've been a little better with more interaction and water refills Great place for date night or a quick sushi meal For a place with high chairs and slings, you'd think they would have a changing table. So make sure you change your baby before you go“

“If I could give this place 100 star rating, I would. This is the best sushi I have ever had…. I have been around the world to multiple places and not one place compares to Sushi Moto. The flavour is phenomenal. The sauce on each roll was delicious. Words do not do this place justice. Thank you for serving the best rolls. The service was the best and so personable. The sushi was a masterpiece of art. I will be coming back often!!“

“Daichi Sushi is one of the best in Austin and Cedar Park. This restaurant is small just like many sushi restaurants in Tokyo. To my best knowledge, small and tiny sushi restaurants are typical in Japan. The owner Tomo is a Japanese and she really knows how to serve delicious sushi and great Japanese kitchen foods to customers. Many thanks to Tomo, Keita, and Jesús. I have been eating here for many years and I always enjoy the foods here.“

“Best sushi in Austin by far the best experience I’ve had at any restaurant, amazing aesthetic, staff and food authenticity, 10/10 it’s very cool to be able to see when the chefs flame sear the wagyu as well, cannot recommend enough!Vegetarian options: Seaweed salad, vegetable rolls, drinks, edamame and other common vegetarian side dishes that you’d find at Japanese restaurants“

“Every time I order from here the food is fresh and delicious and delivered quickly. I decided to go in today with my 1 year old for a sit down lunch instead of delivery and the wait staff was friendly and the chef sent my son a little bear carved from an orange. Really sweet and I will definitely go again as much as possible.“

“I met a friend, and I believe this was the only establishment opened. So we both ordered our meals. I was taken aback that the food was actually quite tasty. The food was wonderfully cooked with no one ingredient overpowering. KudosParking: No worries, it's a large parking lot!“

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

“This was some of the best sushi I've ever eaten. We ordered 6 pcs of toro as an appetizer and my cousin ordered the Omakase roll (chef's choice)... and it was an all toro roll! It was AMAZING! There were 6 of us dining, and everyone really enjoyed the meal. Aside from the Omakase roll, my other favorites were the Napa Valley Roll and the Salmon Lover roll. (I'm allergic to shellfish, so I couldn't taste everything we all ordered, but there wasn't a piece left on a plate when we were done). I wish we had a place like this where we live in Maryland!“

“Took my wife here for the first time since we both are huge fans of sushi. We got the Kai for 2, and I'll say it's absolutely worth it. By far the best sushi we have had!!! I might have to come here at least once a month, this is my new favorite place.“

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

“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!!“

“Awesome service and great selections“

“Excellent service and delicious food. Was not expecting the sushi boat, that was really fun! They make an excellent spider roll, and despite being a little spicy the Red Devil roll was surprisingly nuanced. On the one hand, the small venue is low key and family friendly, but this food feels fancier than the current venue. Still, good value for the cost if you want a relaxed date or low key special occasion with super tasty, world class sushi!Kid-friendliness: Seriously, kids will get a kick out of the giant sushi boat! And Tempura makes vegetables tasty for any palet.“

“The best sushi!! Fresh! Creative! Delicious!“

“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 ❤❤“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Food was delicious. Clean place, great service. We will go again.“

“nice and quiet. dark. and the food was amazing.“

“I’ve tried so many sushi, sashimi, yakitori, and tempura dishes here and it’s always five stars. Everything is fresh and delicious.“

“First of all, customer service is amazing here! I didn't catch his name, but the man who answered the phone was super friendly and informative! I got the Tonkatsu with a side of spicy edamame. It was honestly such big portions, I was in way over my head! But everything was amazing, down to the sticky rice. Tonkatsu was crispy and juicy, the sauce was fire. When I came in the guy with the cool haircut helped me & was really nice, definitely would come 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 !“

“This is such a wholesome place! Cross between a mom/pop sushi place and a chill neighbor bar.Service is cool, Tema is the server, they are polite and super knowledgable about the menu. The sushi chef is a sweet and kind aunty, she's also the owner. Go in there chill, with a kind heart and match your expectations with the prices. This isn't Uchi and they don't pretend to have that vibe or quality of fish. Maki Tori is honest and confident with their offerings- for $12 you get a good salmon roll with great service in a clean place on a Tuesday night after work. Ideal for bros night, weekday date night, solo sad night and everything in between.“

“Wonderful service and terrific food.“

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

“Fantastic Hamachi and atmosphere ❣️“

“Don't let the name fool you, Momo Sushi is way more than just rolls! Their katsu and curry dishes are seriously flavorful and satisfying. I'm also eyeing their udon, which looks amazing. Of course, the sushi is fresh and delicious as well. Perfect spot when you're craving a variety of Japanese flavors.“

“Delicious food (especially the fried pork dumplings), good service, great variety on the menu. Will definitely be back!“

“delicious and huge katsu !!!“

“Wanted tempura but didn't want to mess with it at home. So we thought we'd try this place, close to home. It was a great choice! We ordered a variety of appetizers, and each one was very good to excellent. The dressing on the sumomoto salad is more than just ponzu, it's like a hint of flowers with it, the spicy tuna tacos are a smart idea and fun, the Heart Attack is rich with avo and cream cheese, and the belly was tender and mild teriyaki flavored, just delicious. Large amount of tempura for an app too, and Jay was attentive and polite, thank you, Jay. My only complaint is the paper napkin, smaller and thinner than I needed. The prices, though, are excellent in today's world, and we'll be returning to sit at the sushi bar next time. Go try it, you won't be disappointed.“
