The atmosphere is unassuming. I was a bit nervous to order but I did my research and decided it was worth a try. EBI epitomizes NOT judging a book by its cover. The food was AMAZING!!! The spicy salmon is chunky, fresh and tossed in a delicious spicy sauce. The signature rolls are few but it is obvious it is all about quality instead of quantity. We ordered the Honolulu, Halloween, Nagoya and Pecan roll. (All sauce on the side except the Pecan because I could not eat that one for food allergy reasons) The fish was fresh, expertly joined with accompanying fish and crisp veggies. I LOVE masago and tobiko on everything so I was thrilled to get my favorite fish in rolls smothered in fish eggs!! (I know, sounds weird but it's true) Our waitress, Amber was on it. She was able to guide us based on food allergies and popular rolls and changes. Every bite left all of us wanting more!!! I ordered more spicy salmon handrolls just because I had to. The Pecan roll is pricy but it is a MONSTER roll!!! The cut pieces are about a 2" diameter accompanied by 2 GIANT fried crab and cream cheese rolls about the size of my fist. The dusting of pecans was gorgeous and my Dad LOVED it. It is enough for 2 people!!! All in all...super fresh, absolutely delicious and I can't wait to go back and try new things. This place is a MUST VISIT in Seguin!!!
side note to the 1 star reviews...(which are silly comical but based on opinion which I respect)... the crab in the geico roll is rolled with shrimp tempura. Cold crab + freshly fried shrimp= warm inside ingredients. And this place IS real. I ate...
Read moreI recently visited the restaurant and sampled a variety of dishes, including the Philadelphia roll, a hibachi plate featuring filet mignon and shrimp with fried rice, and a shrimp and vegetable tempura appetizer. While I appreciated the diversity of options, I found the tempura appetizer's breading to be denser and oilier than I prefer(not panko), which detracted from the overall enjoyment. Additionally, the Philadelphia roll lacked the vibrant freshness I expected. The accompanying wasabi also lacked freshness(dried out)suggesting it may have been stored for an extended period.
Moving on to the main course, the filet mignon was undoubtedly the highlight of the meal. Cooked to perfection, it offered a tender and flavorful experience that lived up to expectations. However, I did notice that the shrimp on the hibachi plate seemed slightly overcooked, resulting in a somewhat chewy texture.
Overall, while my dining experience was satisfactory, it fell short of the exceptional standard I had hoped for. As a visitor, I may explore other dining options in the area before considering a return visit to the restaurant. Nevertheless, I remain hopeful that others may have a more...
Read moreEvery aspect of our dining experience was on point at Ebi-Ebi Sushi. We visited this restaurant on a week night as a party of four. From the moment we walked in the door until departing (with very full stomachs and boxed left overs!) we were pleasantly surprised to find this gem in Seguin. The food was absolutely delicious; this comment from a patron who resided in the Far East for over a decade, so yes I am discerning concerning the type of cuisine served at Ebi-Ebi. All of the staff was attentive, the atmosphere (quaint) reminded me of dining in our local establishments an ocean away from Texas! We did not find the music to be a distraction and were able to hold a normal volume of conversation at our table. Several people in our party even commented that they would love a copy of the soundtrack! We are "locals" who will definitely frequent this establishment often, recommend it to everyone we know and highly encourage those of you visiting Seguin to dine...
