Texas Food Adventure | Omakase vs. All-You-Can-Eat Sushi 🍣✨

Recently went on a road trip to San Antonio and Austin 🛣️ for a fun little eat-and-explore tour — here are some tasty highlights! 📍 Shiro Japanese Bistro A refined fine-dining Japanese spot with impressive omakase! 🍱 ✅ Must-tries: Nigiri Mix & Exclusive Nigiri Mix — Let the chef choose! 7–8 pieces of beautifully crafted nigiri with fresh, flavorful fish. 😋 Zigzag Handroll — Crab, avocado, special sauce, all wrapped in a fish roe sushi roll. Just thinking about it makes me hungry again! 🔥 ⚠️ Tip: Popular and reservation-only, but totally worth it for omakase or special occasions! 📍 Izumi Sushi Hibachi A super affordable all-you-can-eat sushi spot! 🎌 ✅ The experience: They arrange your order beautifully on the plate! Includes appetizers, teriyaki bowls, tempura, sashimi, sushi rolls, and more. Order as much as you want — just pace yourself! 😄 ⚠️ Heads up: The menu shows how many pieces come with each order. We were surprised to see multiple pieces of tempura per serving — no complaints though! 📍 Toro Kitchen + Bar A cozy Spanish restaurant right by the River Walk 🇪🇸🌊 ✅ Highlights: Toro Paella — Classic seafood paella with shrimp, squid, mussels, chicken, and chorizo. Smoky, savory, and bright with lemon! 🍋 Pera y Morcilla — Spanish blood sausage with pear — uniquely delicious and not heavy. Fritura de Pulpo — Lightly fried octopus, perfect as a starter. 🐙 ⚠️ Note: I actually liked the tapas more than the paella! Also, the live singer at night can get a bit loud 🎤, but the vibe and value still make it worth visiting! 💃 #FoodReview #WeekendEats #TravelDiaries #Omakase #SpanishFood #Texas #SanAntonio
