Asian-fusion bites, chicken karaage, pork belly buns, beet home fries




"AfterTop Roe’s sad and sudden closing earlier this year, the same chef has spun up another handroll spot a little farther south. On the menu, expect to find dry-aged fish, local produce, and a few small non-sushi snacks." - Nicolai McCrary
"Food Truck of the Year of 2011 The food truck opened in 2009 and won this Eater Award several years later as it expanded its footprint to several bars along East Sixth. The menu focuses on Japanese-ish street food like buns and fried Brussels sprouts salads. Currently, there is only one truck in Austin, parked at Dawson cafe/bar Cosmic, and this physical restaurant in Zilker. Takeout orders can be placed online or in person; there are Uber Eats and Postmates deliveries; and there are indoor and outdoor dine-in areas." - Nadia Chaudhury
"When we want something healthier, there’s a great little spot, East Side King. That place is awesome." - Nadia Chaudhury
"We love The Liberty - they’ve been able to maintain affordable prices and a divey scene while the rest of the street continues to change. And we especially love the fact that East Side King is in their backyard. Grab a picnic table for your group and order off their late-night menu - the chicken karaage and pork belly buns are two of the best options." - Adele Hazan
"This Austin institution known for its Asian fusion cuisine is a great option for your next dinner gathering with friends. There’s several finger food options that are perfect for a relaxed night in, like the crave-worthy beet home fries, which are roasted and topped with a signature savory mayonnaise sauce. Other great options include bento boxes that give you a sample of everything, such as Brussels sprout salad and Thai chicken karaage." - Vox Creative
