One of he newest sushi spots to downtown Austin, Sushi Roku, is known for their non-traditional approach to sushi, incorporating ingredients from Latin America and Europe throughout their menu. With their other locations in Southern California and Las Vegas, you know you're going to be getting the good stuff. Their menu has a bit of everything, with cold and hot apps, hababi (their signature crispy rice with your choice of spicy tuna, yellowtail, avocado, or wagyu), robata skewers, sashimi, rolls, and entrees. They also have a whole "farm" section for those friends who want to come along but don't partake in raw fish. Visit Sushi Roku for their happy hour daily from 4-6pm for discounted bites and drinks. You can make a reservation here.

Austin is not only home to one of the best sushi restaurants in America - we have TWO of them. Uchi and Uchiko both share a penchant for innovative and delightful combinations, featuring seasonal ingredients. They are farm to table, in that Japan is the farm and the table is in Austin. Both menus rotate frequently, dependent upon what is available locally in Tsukiji market Tokyo, and their cold and hot plates often showcase the vegetation of Austin.
Try the Kinoko Nigiri: Scored and seared trumpet mushroom, cooked in brown butter and finished with flaky sea salt (pictured above). Hands down one of the best bites in Austin, you're going to want 20 of them.

Musashino has one very specific mission: to serve up the most authentic version of Japanese sushi possible, with an emphasis on delicious simplicity. Their chosen cuisine style is called Edomae Zushi, which was developed in Japan. In order to achieve this mission, they fly their seafood in from all over the word, including Canada, Hawaii, New York, and of course Japan’s biggest fluton – Tsukiji. The quality of their fish is the real deal.
Try the Texas Roadkill Roll: Your choice of tuna or salmon rolled with seaweed, avocado & cucumber, topped with jalapeño, habanero & orange smelt caviar, served with spicy sauce. To see the full menu, click here.
