SUSHI ROKU AUSTIN — Restaurant in Austin

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sushi Roku – Unforgettable Food + Service That Shines

I had one of the most memorable dining experiences at Sushi Roku, and I can confidently say this place is top-tier. From the first bite to the final farewell, everything was flawless — food, atmosphere, and service.

✨ Ambiance: The vibe here is effortlessly upscale — modern décor, dim lighting, and an energy that’s both lively and relaxed. Whether you’re celebrating something special or just in the mood for a night out with great food, Sushi Roku sets the perfect tone.

🍽 What We Ordered (and Loved): We started with the Garlic Edamame, and it was seriously addictive. Perfectly blistered, bold with flavor, and totally crave-worthy. Then came a lineup of rolls and sushi that completely blew us away: • White Lotus Roll – Beautifully presented and packed with balanced flavor and texture. A real standout. • Gensai Roll – Clean, fresh, and refined. If you’re a fan of high-quality fish with an elegant touch, this is your roll. • Ketana Roll – Bold, flavorful, and a fun contrast to the more delicate rolls. Definitely a crowd-pleaser. • Rokubetsu Sushi – This was the showstopper. Each piece felt like its own curated experience. The freshness of the fish and creativity of toppings made it unforgettable.

🙌 Service – Shoutout to James: Our server James was truly exceptional. He was friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcomed from the moment we sat down. His recommendations were spot-on, and the pacing of the meal was perfect — never rushed, never delayed. James really elevated the experience with his warmth and professionalism. Every restaurant needs a James.

🍸 Drinks: The cocktail list looked amazing — fresh, seasonal ingredients with a Japanese twist. I already have my eye on a few for the next visit.

💵 Value: Yes, it’s a bit of a splurge, but it’s worth every dollar. The quality of ingredients, thoughtful presentation, and high-level service make it an experience, not just a meal.

✅ Final Thoughts: Sushi Roku is that place — the one you think about long after the night’s over. The food was insane, the staff was kind and attentive, and the entire vibe just hit. James, you were a rockstar — thank you for making the night even better. I high key recommend this spot and will absolutely be...

Our group went to their all-you-can-eat sushi brunch special on Memorial Day Monday, and unfortunately, the service was terrible, especially considering how slow the restaurant was.

Three of us arrived first and were told by our server she’d bring us water while we grabbed our plates. Two more people in our group arrived shortly after and also got their food. By the time all five of us were halfway through our first plates, at least 10+ minutes in, we still hadn’t been given water. I eventually had to flag down another server.

Throughout the meal, we were barely checked on. No one cleared our plates, and we ended up stacking them ourselves because we completely ran out of space on the table.

Then came the check. They use a Toast tablet system, and as someone familiar with it, I know it’s extremely easy to split checks. Especially for an all-you-can-eat meal where everyone’s order is the same. The Toast system literally has a button to split the check evenly by seat or by however many people you select. Despite this, our server told us she could only split it four ways, which might have been fine if she had done it evenly. Instead, the split made no sense, and I ended up paying for 2.5 portions of the bill. It was incredibly frustrating, because using the Toast tablet properly would have made this a non-issue.

As for the food, the sushi was okay but nothing memorable.

Safe to say, I won’t...

Sushi Roku Austin delivers exceptional service and innovative cuisine, exceeding expectations from the outset. The attentive waitstaff ensures a seamless dining experience, while the cocktail menu boasts unique and flavorful options, such as the "Heat of the Dragon" with its perfectly balanced tequila and spice.

Standout dishes include the Hanabi yellowtail on crispy rice, offering a delightful textural contrast, and the Hanabi Serrano, delivering just the right amount of heat. The tuna crudo with avocado, while enjoyable, may be overshadowed by other menu items. However, the Salmon Nigiri shines with its melt-in-your-mouth texture and citrusy ponzu finish, and the Tuna Jalapeno rolls with avocado impresses with its freshness and distinct flavors. The Spicy Tuna roll stands out as a potential showstopper, boasting exceptionally fresh fish and perfectly portioned rolls. Seating at the high-top tables provides a comfortable dining experience, and the attentive staff ensures guests feel valued and remembered.

With its impressive debut and commitment to quality, Sushi Roku Austin has the potential to become a staple in Austin's culinary scene....
