SOSU izakaya & Sushi Bar

We had a fantastic experience during their soft opening. The restaurant is run by a very friendly couple, and the service was excellent. We had the nigiri, donburi, handrolls, karage, and spicy aioli pasta—everything was delicious, and the fish was fresh and high quality. Great atmosphere. We highly recommend and will definitely be back!

I had an absolutely amazing experience at SOSU Izakaya & Sushi Bar. Everything I tried was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and beautifully crafted. The dishes truly show the chef’s creativity and attention to detail. This place is a must-visit if you love Japanese food! 🥒 Sunomono Salad A perfect balance of tangy, refreshing, and lightly sweet. The cucumbers and seaweed were super fresh and made a great palate cleanser. 🐟 Hamachi Belly Serrano (Ask for the upgraded belly cut , it will literally melt in your mouth!) This yellowtail is light and buttery, topped with thin serrano slices for a super refreshing bite with just the right kick. 🔥 Firecracker Crispy, savory, and packed with flavor! The crunchy base with spicy tuna, avocado, and roe was the perfect bite. A fun, bold dish that really stands out. 🧡 Creamy Scallop Handroll So good! The scallops were unbelievably fresh and the sauce made it rich and creamy without being heavy. Wrapped in crispy seaweed,perfect texture and taste in every bite. 🍣 All the nigiri, sashimi, and hand rolls are absolutely excellent, incredibly fresh, perfectly seasoned, and truly worth trying everything on the menu. Each bite highlights the quality of the fish and the chef’s technique, making it a must-order selection for anyone who loves real Japanese flavors. Everything was delicious, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Highly recommend this spot, I’ll definitely be coming back! 🤤🥰😊

DO NOT EAT HERE!!!! This is my new favorite spot and I dont need you foodies blowing this place up alright, go somewhere else. Move along, scroll to the next spot. Bye bye now. On a serious note... Was greated by a red sign that illuminated off the damp sidewalk and was blown away by the anesthetic once I stepped in. The staff was very pleasant. I could tell they were passionate on a giving a outstanding experience and they did. The food was delicious. The dishes that I had were simple and yet the quality of the ingredients combined with expert execution made for some of the most delicious food I have had in a while. Ill be back soon! -New regular

Everything was soooooo good! I’m a big miso soup fan, and theirs was amazing! We loved everything we ordered! Definitely will be coming back.

Seriously, the sushi here is fire. Everything was so aesthetic, and the vibe is totally chill. Majorly recommend.

Happy to have an izakaya in the north central Austin area. This place is ran by a super friendly couple and you can tell that they put a lot of care into the quality of their food and service.

My partner and I both really enjoyed our meal at SOSU! The takoyaki were splendid, and we can’t wait to return for them. The sashimi and rolls we had were also great.

Unbelievably good. The takoyaki was better than what I had in Osaka. Some of the best service and best people in Austin as well.
