SUSHI ROKU AUSTIN

Staff was so nice. James was an excellent server. Great with allergies! Couldn’t believe how the Hanabi wagyu crispy rice melted in my mouth. The Waterloo ichi roll was delicious. I could taste the different fish in the roll. It’s wrapped in a rice wrap like a spring roll sitting in a chili oil. Sundown on Sunset had so many flavors. When I swirled the garnish of mint into the drink it added to the complexity of the drink. This a fine dining experience. Kind of intimate, dark, and moody. Valet is $12 across the street at Capitol Grill.

My boyfriend and I recently visited Sushi Roku for date night, and we had an amazing time. The ambiance was perfect for a romantic evening. Not super noisy actually perfect noise volume. The drinks were delightful, and the food was absolutely incredible. We ordered the following; Spicy Cucumber Sunomono - good flavors cold app Green Beans "Ingen Itame” - very delicious hot app Beef ribeye wrapped asparagus - loved this and how it was served on the hot stone - farm Salmon* nigiri (sake lemon zest, yuzu salt, nikiri shoyu) - WOW factor absolutely delicious 🤤 White Lotus - this has to be one of the best sushi rolls I’ve had. 😊 Chicken Fried Rice - 🍚 it was good Chocolate lava cake - this was a miss but the waiter took care of it. The lava wasn’t lavaing Cheesecake was good. Many of the dishes were a culinary delight. ☺️ My drink Tropical Hibiscus was very tasty I will be ordering it again!! Our waiter was fantastic and made our experience even better and each server that brought out a dish. Overall, we had a great time and would highly recommend Sushi Roku.

We were in and out in less than 45 minutes total for a Monday weeknight dinner, which was a pleasant surprise as we had read reviews on the time being long. Space was cute and bright/green and fresh. Our waiter was very prompt and made some great suggestions. Sushi plate was fresh and what tasted like really nice quality fish. The brussel sprout chips were to die for - I definitely want to go back and get it again!! Unagi sushi was very good. Ordered the shrimp tempura with asparagus roll and got jalapeno (the other option). I think we got the Katana roll, which was tasty. We of course got the cotton candy (with cheesecake) for dessert, and it was unique and delicious. Overall a good experience and will go back!

Oh to be wined and dined with amazing food makes a girl feel like a princess (or a baller is more like it). Service was on point. Food was nothing less of wowing. Drinks were so yummy. I drank them like Kool Aid on a hot summers day. The Chilean Seabass & American Wagyu Beef Robatas pack a powerful punch of richness and umami. The Toro Carpaccio & Yellowtail Diced Chiles had a perfect balance of flavor that still allowed you to embrace the greatness of the Toro & Yellowtail. The brussel sprouts chips were crisp and perfect. Take this statement to heart - this means a lot from a girl who doesn't really like brussel sprouts lol. This place is swank enough for a date or girls night, clean cut enough for a business dining, but also casual enough to bring my family of four. Come one, come all!

We went here for dinner for our friends birthday. I was not disappointed by the variety of options they had from the cocktails to the sushi. Huge menu for anyone to enjoy. Cocktail: *Zen Garden (It was a cocktail, but I added rum) Appetizers: *spicy Edamame *green beans "ingen itame" *shisito Japanese Peppers Sushi: *Gensai roll Dessert: *birthday cotton candy Cheesecake and ice cream. Came lit on fire with a sparkler! Overall, the atmosphere felt like a high-end, vibey place to be on a Thursday night! Every seat was taken. The food was amazing! 👏 This is the perfect place to have a date or a girls' night! Cannot wait to try their happy hour!

Really enjoyed our meal, great quality food, excellent presentation and impeccable service. I celebrated my birthday with my husband and toddler. The staff were all welcoming and friendly, kudos to Kylie who looked after us. Her attention to detail, knowledge of the menu and general kindness was very much appreciated! The Birthday dessert was amazing ! We stayed at the Driskill Hotel which is approximately at 7 minutes walk to the restaurant which was convenient! Would definitely recommend visiting!

New favorite sushi spot in austin. Sushi quality is top notch. I love the atmosphere and the staff- they’re so welcoming and have great recommendations. Audry is the best. She checked on us multiple times and made our happy hour experience amazing. I don’t like cocktails that are too sweet and Audry relayed that to the bartender and lychee martinis came out perfectly. Everything we had was amazing- I highly recommend lychee martini, salmon nigiri, yellowtail nigiri, yellowtail scallion roll, baked crab hand roll, wagyu hanabi, and the yellowtail hanabi

Sushi Roku, in downtown Austin, has won our hearts. The brussel sprout chips were crispy and airy, like a tastier version of popcorn. The albacore nigiri sushi was definitely a “wow” moment for each of us. The white lotus roll is a creative masterpiece, balancing flavors and textures with finesse. My husband got the Chilean sea bass and said it was the best fish dish he’s had anywhere. For dessert, we had the melting cotton candy surprise captivates both the eyes and taste buds, providing a memorable end to the meal. The service was great and the experience was unique and we can’t wait to go back.

I was here for a Yelp event and fell in love with this place. I came back today with my family. They have good happy hours. All of their appetizers won't disappoint you. Every bite is like heaven. My favorites are fluke kumquat, hamachi Serrano and tuna crudo. Hanabi is a must try as well. Skewers: wagyu beefs melt in your mouth. The drinks are very good as well. For the specialty rolls: I wasn't blown away by any of them. The appetizers are all on a different level. Deluxe sushi plate: it's something I'll order again. All the nigiris are on point. I'll be back again for the appetizers.

I recently came here for a Yelp Elite event and just had to come back to check out their HH. It was a Monday. I made a reservation for 2 on Open Table and just FYI it won't allow you to book at 4 PM if that's what you want. HH is 4 PM to 6 PM. Only as early as 5 PM, but if you call into the restaurant you can most likely request for them to move it up. I walked in at 4 PM and was literally the only one there. I learned you can only have happy hour in the lounge area or bar. We sat in the lounge. I really liked the cozy half booth space. Wasn't packed at all. We finished up at 6 PM and maybe 3 more tables came in. Service was quick. We ordered: Salmon Roll - Fresh and rolls are on the smaller side Hanabi Spicy Tuna - Amazing flavor, but not spicy Brussels Sprout Chips - One of my favs. Super crispy and packed with truffle flavor Japanese Fried Chicken - Served hot and crispy. Light batter and pairs well with sauce and lemon. Decent portion. Hot Sake Carafe - For $7 this is an amazing deal. I literally felt like it was never ending. I kept pouring and pouring ha lasted me the whole 2 hours I was there. Perfect amount of food for two. I'll definitely be coming back for HH & excited to explore the rest of the menu.

This place is phenomenal. I found it walking downtown on a hot day and I needed to take an AC break and ended up having a really wonderful lunch. The staff is super friendly from the hostess stand to the service team. It's exceptional. So I ended up bringing my team here a few weeks later for a team building dinner and it was again phenomenal. The food is amazing. The recommendations are always top notch and the cocktails are delicious. One thing I didn't capture a picture of and I'm sorry I didn't wear the brussel sprout chips. A very interesting title and an incredibly executed dish. Essentially, it's the leaves of the brussel sprouts, peeled and fried to perfection with a light batter. If you're looking for a good sushi lunch or a good dinner to unwind, this is the perfect spot. I will definitely be back.

We were craving sushi so we came here. Everything was so delicious. It's one of the cutest sushi restaurants I've ever eaten at. Our server (I can't remember his name) was so nice and helpful. Even the hostess was sweet and came to talk to us about ACL. They had inside and outside seating, but we ate inside.

My husband and I visited Sushi Roku for his birthday during happy hour. They have a pretty good selection of happy hour bites and drinks. Even their signature rolls are 30% off and classic rolls were about $7-8. We ordered the shoman glory cocktail, white wine on HH, and a beer. All three were good, but of course the Shoman is a fantastic tequila cocktail. For food we ordered the classic salmon and spicy tuna rolls, the Japanese fried chicken, 2 pieces each of the yellowtail hanabi, and the tempura popcorn shrimp. The stars of the show were the popcorn shrimp and hanabi. Great flavors and a good portion of shrimp. We initially grabbed a seat at the bar waiting for our rez time, but we ended up staying at the bar since we could order the full menu. They dim the lights about 6 and set the vibe for the evening. The bartenders were great and even gave us a special birthday surprise.

So while in Austin we need to get some sushi in our system. After searching I found sushi Roku . I made a reservation which was a very easy process . We ended up arriving early and we were seated right away . The service was excellent . Our server James was great and he gave us some recommendations and customer favorites . We were given a pina colada cocktail which was so delicious .Now we had the Brussels sprout chips which were good . I ordered the white lotus floor roll. Which was good but for the price the rolls should come with more pieces . The ambiance of the restaurant was nice the music wasn't too loud . And the decor and layout of the restaurant was very nice .

Had a wonderful dinner with my boyfriend for his birthday - first time visit. Wonderful service by Kylie from start to finish. She recommended a custom gin/sake cocktail which was well balanced, not too sweet. We enjoyed the hamachi crudo and tempura appetizer. We loved the sauce on the crudo and the tempura was perfectly crisp. My boyfriend enjoyed the chef's choice nigiri and tuna hand roll. I enjoyed the blue fin tuna special. Also tried the scallop nigiri (close 2nd favorite after tuna). Fish quality was 10/10. we were treated to a spectacular birthday mochi dessert which came with sparklers and a complementary dance :-) Can't wait to come back again.

Wonderful dining experience with Yelp and Sushi Roku in the heart of downtown Austin! When we saw that this is a tasting menu, we thought it would be a light meal with small plates. However, we're nicely stuffed! All the fish dishes are so fresh. The yuzu vinaigrette and citrus flavor really brighten up the fish. All fish dishes are buttery and have the umami flavor. Brussels sprouts chips are super airy, crispy and light. American wagyu skewers are so tender, juicy, snd flavorful, and black pepper sauce provides a nice savory coating on the outside of the meat. Chilean sea bass is soft and grilled to perfection. The beautiful flaming cotton candy covered cheesecake and ice cream is the perfect ending, really makes our heart and soul happy. I reserved one of the early spots, so I got seated very quickly. The restaurant is very nice, clean, and bright. Staff: Very attentive, very knowledgeable in describing each dish with each ingredient. The food is delicious and staff is attentive providing an excellent service. Pricing is very steep, so keep in mind that you're dining at an upscale sushi restaurant in downtown Austin.

This place is so nice! Definitely great vibes, date night, or dinner with friends. Everything that we ordered was delicious. Let me tell you i rarely eat fish cause I dont like fishy flavors but i do love shellfish. All the fish that was served to us was so good and not fishy at all. The drinks were so cute and delicious. They also have a great wine selection. We went to celebrate my friends birthday and they had a cute sign set up for her. We ordered the spicy tuna hanabi amazing! You must order the fluke kumquat it is phenomenal. We also go the Japanese uni, toro, and mackerel all so good. We ended with complimentary mochi for birthday. Everything was perfect and everyone was so nice. I will definitely come back to eat here again.

HOT! Not usually the first word that comes to mind for a sushi spot, but this one is. Warm, sexy atmosphere with exceptional service (check my sources, but I think their servers are models by day), and very good food. A nice long bar for social evenings, and cozy booths for date nights or impressive work dinners. Specialty cocktails/mocktails are flashy and delicious - my favorite was the Zen Garden. But what we came for - some highlights: Brussels Sprout Chips are exactly like they sound. Part veggie, part chip, a snacking marvel to start a great meal. The Fluke Kumquat, Toro Carpaccio, and Chilean Seabass skewer are highly recommended. Delicate white fluke presented sashimi-style with a touch of yuzu for a playful take on citrus/savory. Fresh, original, just right - especially on their lengthy Happy Hour menu. Toro also impressed with an elegant plating of sashimi-cuts - rich and more filling than their Western counterparts. Chilean Seabass was slightly under-seasoned (nothing some soy can't fix) but cooked exquisitely with a nice char. Nigiri was fresh enough, but pieces are thinner than spots of a similar caliber, and they specialize in more contemporary dishes. Dessert was a show, melting down a tower of crystallized sugar (okay, it was cotton candy!) to cheesecake and ice cream, but I prefer the chocolate flourless cake on flavor. Overall, a very fun experience giving SoCal/Las Vegas vibes - more than dinner, it's a night out!

Everything we got was amazing. Our waitress was super attentive and informational. My favorite part was all the different crispy rice we ordered. Lighting was low and could be a very cute birthday or date spot.

Came here for an event and really enjoyed it! Parking was easy with $12 valet across the street and the service was excellent. Our waiter, I think his name was Fuller?, was so attentive and really nice. We had the brussel sprout chips (so yummy!!), the fluke kumquat, yellowtail diced chilis, toro carpaccio and hanabi for appetizers. The brussel sprout chips and yellowtail were my favorite. For entrees we shares the chilean seabass, american wagyu beef and then for rolls we ot the Nigiri, baked crab handrool, white lotus roll, and tuna jalapeno roll. My favorite were the white lotus and tuna jalapeno. The wagyu was super yummy too though! We got the cotton candy thing for dessert which I definitely recommend if you want to impress someone! Will definitely be back!

Y'all, we had an amazing night at Sushi Roku! Everything I'm about to mention was shared between four people so in most cases we each got one serving of the dish. Highly recommend dining this way so you can try everything and split the bill! Parking was like $4 because after 5 or 6pm it's free on weekdays. Check the signs because I forgot actual timing from the night. Also, if you are apprehensive about sushi because of raw fish or fishy taste - I highly recommend the dishes below that come with sauce drizzle because it makes all the difference. Soy sauce isn't the same for this elevated menu. Enjoy! We started with some drinkitos - the hibiscus, the shoman glory, and ended with the smokin yuzu!! Highly recommend the first and last drink! To start, we had the toro carpaccio, fluke kumquat and Brussels sprout chips! The full list is in the photos but these three were my faves. It's a good thing that they gave us a little to pick from because I could have easily eaten more of each of them. They also help to get your mouth ready for the cabaret of flavors. The toro carpaccio includes oscietra cavier, kizami wasabi and truffle soy. All I can say is - Chef's kiss!! Toro is the fatty part of the tuna or fish and elevated with style which is why it's so popular. The fluke kumquat was surprisingly tasty. It's a lazer thin explosion of sweetness. I forgot it was fish. There is absolutely no detection of fish taste and it was great to have in between other dishes. The flavors together are perfect imo. The Brussels sprout chips were super simple and delicate. The truffle oil and salt quickly disintegrates in your mouth leaving a little crispy savory taste behind. Next we had robata - Chilean seabass (lean fish) and American wagyu beef. It's no wonder it was featured in Jurassic Park because the seabass was cooked to perfection with buttery flaky vibes and the smallest, yet impactful, drizzle of yakitori sauce. The wagyu beef (marble pieces) was simple yet delicate. It also had a buttery flavorful effect. I recommend sharing both to get the full effect of the flavor palette. Then we had sushi and rolls - my favorites were the Nigiri with four cuts of fish (tai, yellow tail, salmon and tuna). No sauce. Just the rice and fish. I thought I wouldn't like it without other flavors thrown in but was thrilled to just enjoy the fish with the tiniest little flavor buddy on top. It wasn't fishy and cut perfectly. My next favorite was the white lotus roll. They include rock shrimp, avocado & asparagus topped with albacore & crispy onions & truffle soy. The flavors and crispness went together beautifully. We ended with a sweet cotton candy cloud with a cheesecake hidden inside. It's was pretty good. Definitely share with four or more people.

From the moment we walked in the door, you could feel this cozy restaurant was bustling with amazing energy. From the excited patrons who had already begun their tasting experience to those waiting for their table to the staff who moved with purpose. We opted to take advantage of the bar while we waited and the drink selections were unique and the two I enjoyed came dressed with flowers which is such a fun touch. When seated, we were flooded with the first 4 courses almost at the same time. Zero complaints about this from our table as each bite offered was exciting. The tables around us may have given us the side eye but we were distracted. The fish was clearly fresh and the flavor combinations were delightful. I could have eaten the Brussels sprout chips all night while others at the table proclaimed the Hanabi as a star of the show. As the heartier rounds came out of the kitchen, the Chilean sea bass left us all speechless. In a good way. The fish was expertly prepared and it was a moment worth savoring. The sushi and rolls that followed were good... but after such a stellar selection before, the baked crab roll wasn't terribly exciting. I'll definitely get the white lotus roll again though. Dessert was a show stopper. Literally. Any time a table received their dessert offering, onlookers would peek at the recipient to watch them light desert on fire. A cheesecake and ice cream surrounded by a mountainous fluff of cotton candy just begging to be doused with rum and lit to the joy of all.

Loved Sushi Roku for their well-thought food, ambience, and friendly service (Trader Joe level friendly haha) While a bit pricier than I prefer, come check this place out for a special occasion -- or check out their weekday Happy Hour that seem to have some pretty great deals from $5-$15! My favorites were: - Brussel sprout chips (so crispy, so crunchy!) - fluke kumquat (loved the tangy yuzu) - toro carpaccio (SO fatty!!) - wagyu skewer (INSTANT melt in mouth) - yellowtail and salmon nigiris (tender, well-portioned, and loved the lemon toppings) - affogato (sweet, coffee, smooth, crunch, love the play on textures) - the smoky yuzu zero-proof margarita!

Everything about this place was above and beyond. After my experience, I can say, The Number One Sushi Place had been found. The service was prompt, happy, and kind. Settled in my both I knew this was the right place to dine. Never have I have ever tasted Sea bass this fine. And the wagyu skewers, were most divine. The drinks, oh my goodness. What a variety of taste. Every one I tired, was another step towards my happy place. The ambiance was what really caught my eye. It was smooth and elegant.. was this heaven.. did I die? Perfect for any occasion, on yelp id never lie. So go have fun, get dressed up and fly. Don't leave before having dessert! This is your, "go here now!" Alert!

Sushi Roku in Austin offers an exceptional dining experience that stands out not only for its food but also for its stunning aesthetic. The moment you step inside, you're greeted by an incredibly well-thought-out space--everything is clean, modern, and perfectly put together, making it a visual treat as much as a culinary one. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between upscale and inviting, making it an ideal spot for anything from a date night out to a special occasion. Also, the hosts at the front are warm, welcoming, and attentive. The service at Sushi Roku is another highlight. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely friendly, enhancing the overall experience. From the moment you're seated, you feel well taken care of. They're quick to offer suggestions, make accommodations, and more. Very personable, as well! When it comes to the food, freshness and flavor are front and center. The sushi is as fresh as it gets, with each piece bursting with taste. It practically melts in your mouth. The dishes are both innovative and delicious. Some personal favorites of mine include the Chilean seabass skewers, the salmon nigiri (the chefs add some lemon zest that is just *chef's kiss*), and the toro carpaccio. Parking in downtown Austin can be tricky, but Sushi Roku has that covered, as well. There are multiple valet parking options nearby, typically ranging from $12 to $15, which adds a layer of convenience to the entire experience. Much safer than the street parking alternative, and very stress-free. There are also plenty of Ubers downtown, which is another great option. Whether you're there for the incredible sushi, the impeccable service, or the stunning atmosphere, Sushi Roku is a dining experience that delivers on all fronts. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a top-tier sushi experience in the heart of Austin, and I will certainly be back!

I've been to Sushi Roku twice since they opened and had two different experiences. The first time wasn't great as service was slow, and they forgot some of our dishes. However, my second visit was much better in terms of service and attentiveness, likely because the restaurant was less busy, and they may have worked out some of the initial kinks. That said, the food is pretty good. The spicy tuna hanabi and sizzling ribeye were standouts for me. They also offer some great deals on sushi rolls and drinks during happy hour. While I'm not sure if this would become a regular sushi spot for me, I'd definitely return if I'm in the area.

Really enjoyed this new sushi spot downtown Austin. They have valet, which I always appreciate. The vibe feels more like a big city sushi bar and all the service staff are so sweet. We tried so much and I can't wait to go back and try more. We had to cut ourselves off from ordering more. Absolutely have to try the tuna belly, hanabi (spicy tuna), white lotus roll, katana roll, and brussel sprout chips.

Reagan absolutely crushed it and made our experience amazing! I was impressed from beginning to end. I will be definitely be back. I can't rave enough about what an amazing experience she gave us. We ordered an assortment of goodies and everything was delicious. No notes! The vibe was so perfect for a date night or better yet, a girls night! Can't wait for my next visit. If you get the chance to sit at the bar with Reagan, take it!!

Yelp Elite and Sushi Roku Event - A Culinary Delight. Sushi Roku is worth a visit if you're craving sushi that goes beyond the norm; nestled in the heart of downtown Austin, 405 Colorado St, Suite 100, this spot combines modern elegance with a vibrant atmosphere that sets the stage for a memorable dining experience. The menu is an adventurous blend of traditional and contemporary Japanese cuisine. Rating: The Yelp Elite tasting event at Sushi Roku was nothing short of spectacular! From start to finish, it was a well-orchestrated evening that showcased the best of this renowned sushi spot's offerings. The event featured a curated tasting menu, allowing guests to sample various dishes that showcased innovative and unique sushi creations. Chef Sang Kim, former chef-owner of Kai Sushi in Leander, presented a series of exquisitely crafted dishes, each more delightful than the last. We chose a specialty cocktail from a list of twelve incredible mixology cocktails, then served Brussels Sprout Chips, Fluke Kumquat, Yellowtail Diced Chilies, Toro Carpaccio, and Hanabi to start. The presentation was as impressive as the flavors, with each plate artfully arranged and bursting with freshness and flavors. The second course was Robata, which included Chilean Seabass and American Wagyu Beef, which melted in your mouth with an explosion of flavors. The incredible experience continued with the third course of sushi and rolls: Nigiri-yellowtail, tuna and salmon, Baked Crab handroll, White Lotus roll, and a Tuna Jalapeno roll; my taste buds were in outer heaven. The event's highlight was the Chef's Choice dessert, a Cotton Candy bubble lite fire, and a cheesecake with ice cream surprise in the middle as the Cotton Candy melted--a WOW factor to a close and added another layer of sophistication to the evening and incredible dining experience. The atmosphere was lively and engaging, with the restaurant's staff providing exceptional service throughout the night. Their enthusiasm and knowledge added an educational element to the enjoyable and enlightening tasting, making each guest feel valued and important. Overall, the Sushi Roku tasting event was a culinary experience to remember. It perfectly showcased the restaurant's unwavering commitment to quality and innovation, leaving no doubt that Sushi Roku is an experience you won't want to miss! Brilliant Dining!

Had a good happy hour in sushi Roku! They offer a happy hour from 3-5 on the weekends! The restaurant has a modern sleek interior and the staff was very friendly and prompt. The fish was fresh and good value for happy hour. We ordered: Yellowtail scallion roll: The yellowtail was very fresh. Salmon hand roll: the salmon was delicious and fatty Wagyu crispy rice: this was delicious and went perfectly on top of the crispy rice. Popcorn shrimp: this was too sweet for my liking and would pass on ordering

Roku Sushi offers a delightful blend of modern ambiance, creative cocktails, and top-notch Japanese cuisine. I recently had dinner here, and was thoroughly impressed by the exceptional service and beautifully presented dishes. Their Yuzu cocktails are a must-try, offering a unique and refreshing flavor experience. For food, I highly recommend the A5 Wagyu - it was melt-in-your-mouth perfection. Whether for a special occasion or a night out with friends, Roku Sushi is a fantastic choice for a memorable dining experience.

We had a reservation on a Sunday around lunch time and saw plenty of seating so maybe it was not necessary. They seated us very quickly and the hostess was nice. The waiter greeted us immediately and took our drink orders which came out fast. However after we ordered our food it took longer than expected. It was fine since we were chatting away our hunger. The sushi was worth the wait but heads up on the cost it was a bit higher than your typical sushi place. They have a cotton candy dessert that was delicious and the presentation was fun to experience. I would definitely come back the sushi tasted great, drinks were well made, and I like the location.

I most recently came here with the Yelp Elite squad and wow, I was so happy with all of the food! They brought us out a tasting menu of their popular dishes and every single one was quite amazing! I think the stand out dishes were the salmon nigiri (the lemon zest on top MADE the dish), the brussel sprouts were shockingly delicious as the truffle oil really elevated the dish, toro carpaccio was heavenly, and the baked crab handroll (I typically enjoy raw fish for hand rolls but wow I have never enjoyed crab so much)! the service was great, servers were knowledgeable of drinks / entrees, and the atmosphere would be a great place for a fun date night or a get together with a group as they have larger 6 seater tables!! definitely on my list for top sushi in austin!

I can't remember a lot of the names; but this is theeee cutest sushi spot ever!! The staff were amazing and throughly explained each dish. The variety was insane and the drinks were delicious!! Very earthy and refreshing. Definitely going back!

Came here for happy hour and will definitely go back! The crispy rice and hand rolls were awesome! I also loved my lychee martini. Great happy hour prices and great food.

Staff was so nice. James was an excellent server. Great with allergies! Couldn't believe how the Hanabi wagyu melted in my mouth and the crispy shell on the rice was amazing. The Waterloo ichi roll was delicious. I could taste the different fish in the roll. It's wrapped in a rice wrap like a spring roll sitting in a chili oil. Sundown on Sunset had so many flavors. When I swirled the garnish of mint into the drink it added to the complexity of the drink. This a fine dining experience. Kind of intimate, dark, and moody. Valet is $12 across the street at Capitol Grill.

I stopped in tonight for a snack before dinner. Had the hamachi Serrano, tuna, unagi, and salmon and glass of Prosecco. Food was amazing. Service was great. Food was very slow coming out. Only complaint about this place.

The White Lotus roll made the visit for me. I'd get that and maybe even only that every time.

I mean it when I say that this is the BEST sushi I have had in Austin. I've tried them all: Uchi, Uchiko, Soto, Neighborhood Sushi, Lucky Robot, Junai, etc., and after one meal at Sushi Roku it has claimed top spot. Each bite of the dishes we ordered felt like a delicacy. In particular, the Spicy Tuna Hanabi and the Tokubetsu roll really blew me away. The cocktails were also fantastic: the Tea & Harmony made with green tea infused vodka and lemongrass was delicious and refreshing, as was the Empress's Kiss, which felt like a fun, yuzu-forward twist on a French 75. The service was a little slow, but it was a packed Saturday night. And honestly, the food was so delicious that I forgave them for any subpar service. The aesthetic of the restaurant is really lovely, kind of an elevated zen garden atmosphere with pretty bonsai decor and woven paneling. RIP to RA Sushi across the street- I feel like Sushi Roku is going to become the hot spot for sushi on 4th street now!

We just had the best time at Sushi Roku's Friday Happy Hour! You've gotta try it! They run it from 4pm to 6pm Monday to Friday and even on weekends from 3pm to 5pm. The menu is awesome, but the real star for me was the Brussel Sprout Chips - so tasty! I also went for the spicy tuna roll, salmon handroll, and yellowtail handroll, all washed down with a Soto Junmai sake. But the highlight? A cotton candy dessert that they set on fire to reveal a cheesecake a la mode inside - mind blown! The only downside was the chef's choice portion, it was tiny! Service was super friendly and the vibe was fun and welcoming. I'm definitely going back for more!

The atmosphere of Sushi Roku is a very chill vibe. From the moment we walked through the door we were greeted with an amazing host who got us seated quickly and accommodated our large group. Our serve Chad really added to our already joyous family. He was patient and fun, and took time to ensure our experience here was unforgettable.

My husband and I came for happy hour and WOW We sat at the bar. My husband had Lychee Martini w/ vodka, but the flavors really popped when he switched to gin. Was divine! Shout out to Reagan for the recommendation on the Botanist gin. She served us the whole time and was amazing! We had a few of the happy hour apps and they were pretty good. The popcorn shrimp was light and delicious. The bacon wrapped shrimp was also pretty good. The sushi was so fresh and delicious

We came here with a small work group for lunch which they had lunch specials. I ordered the sushi fix and the food was for the most part average sushi nigiri topped with extra garnish. The baked crab roll was good! The downside was the price $24 and the serving size was on the small side. Also, miso soup is at extra charge, how much is miso soup cost... $1? Another issue was giving us a promo speech at the end of our meal for happy hours drinks and food when we clearly were on our way out...

Sushi Roku outdid themselves with the service, ambiance and selection of dishes. I parked at the open lot directly adjacent to the restaurant and paid $30 ($10/hr) because I didn't know how long I'd be but this is to tell everyone just pay the $12 valet! That way enjoy yourself for as long as you'd like. Listen, it's hard to pick a favorite because they were all divine. Fun fact I have NEVER eaten sushi like this and I challenged myself and committed to trying everything and I ate it ALL! If you are on the fence about raw fish, textures, unique flavors, this was an amazing experience to change your mind! I thought the play on Brussels sprouts chips was brilliant. None of that soggy oily mess you might have experienced and with so many places doing a similar dish, this was a welcomed twi, this was crispy like a chip and just the right amount of salt and truffle oil! The hanabi crispy rice is what sealed the deal with a warm crispy rice against a cool tuna was divine. The Toro Carpaccio had to be my absolute favorite! It was so melt in your mouth amazing with a freshness of the wasabi (real wasabi and perfect amount of heat) and salty brine from caviar with a nice hint of acidity might have took the award for the night. I didn't even add the Tropical Hibiscus and Affogato dessert because Yelp said 10 pictures only but I can't wait to go back and reorder my favs plus try some new ones.

Kylie our server was fantastic! She made our experience memorable. We will be back.

The food was so delicious, great happy hour, and the staff was wonderful, especially Chad and Jess! I can't get over the crispy rice, plus the great selection of non alcoholic beer and mocktails was amazing.

Last weekend we picked Sushi Roku to celebrate our friend's birthday. Two of us got there 30 minutes before our reservation time so we sat at the bar until our table was ready. I ordered a Yuzu Margarita from their mocktails options. It had a cool presentation and good taste but after a while I could feel something wasn't right. I asked the bartender if it was non alcoholic and he said "No, I figured you wanted it with alcohol". I was flabbergasted. There is not a Yuzu Margarita on their regular cocktail menu and the fact he just assumed I wanted alcohol on my mocktail request is completely unacceptable. I was there with a huge group so I did not make a scene and tipped him appropriately but wow. It was an irresponsible assumption that he made and it made for a bad first impression.

Coming to visit for a girls weekend from LA, one would not think we would go here.. but seriously such a great experience. We had a fantastic server (Kylie/Kiley/Kaili?) who took amazing care of us. The drinks and food (Baked Cod, baked crab Handroll specifically) were great. Even though it is Austin, you can tell they flew in fresh fish and that they took great pride in what they serve. Feeling sushi while being here, hit this place up!

It was alright. The waitress hitting on my boyfriend was a great touch to his birthday celebration in the most comedic of ways. Food was on par with Austin sushi. He enjoyed it so that's what matters. :)

Great food and the happy hour is super reasonably priced. Really like the ambience and the service was great too. Will definitely go back!

Jasmine, the GM totally took care of our dining experience as we celebrated my daughter Taylor's birthday. Amethyst was our server and did an excellent job. I am an on-air radio personality at 93.7 KLBJ-FM and will definitely tell this story to my listeners and recommend Sushi Roku.

Wow! What a perfect welcome to Austin, Texas! It's our first trip here for work, and we decided to try this new spot for our Date Night #1, on a Saturday! This new HOT Sushi place hit the spots for sure and definetly a Must Try Ya'll! Ambiance: Great location and walking distance from all the 3-5 star Hotels around 4th-6th Streets. Gorgeous interior design, simple yet sophisticated, authentic with Japanese plant life, beautifully kept bonsai trees and lighting. The crowd was classy and sexy, you can tell everyone was enjoying every bite and each other's company, and having a good time. The Bar had a great scene with many unique cocktails and top notch options! Customer Service: Warm & Friendly with many smiles for miles...We were fortunate to have Host Kylie (Jenner/Minogue, so I can remember her name Lol) was stellar! She was super friendly, had the sweetest & kind energy, educated with the Menu, she knew the Cocktails and Food pairings really well, and recalls all the new crowds' faves! She and the Roku Team were very attentive, always checking on us and refilling our water. Side Note: Offered Evian Water Sparkling or Still. We weren't aware of the $9 per bottle fee. If Hosts can present that at the beginning, would be a nicer alert and not a little surprise at the end. But of course the Evian water was appreciated. Our Menu Choices... Drinks: Ueshima Old Fashioned ($17) - An OMG Moment! The BEST experience and a MUST TRY for all you Old Fashioned & Coffee Lovers!!! Kudos to the Amazing Bartender and Drink creator! (espresso - washed whistle pig piggyback rye 6, honey, ginger, cucumber, fresh serrano, mint, angostura bitters) Suika Sui ($15) - Wow! My all time two fave combo, Vodka+Watermelon Red Bull! Yum experience with "Haku" (Japanese) Vodka and drink combo, really refreshing!! Suggestion: Add a touch more of alcohol, I couldn't really taste it. (haku vodka, fresh muddled berries, kumquat, coconut, mint, and watermelon) Appetizers: Fried Calamari ($19) - Prepared perfectly, great texture, good flavors and nice (asked for extra ) spice! (Charred jalapeño glaze) Brussel Sprouts Chips ($12) - Another OMG moment! What a way to eat your veggies for the day! Unexpected to try Brussel sprouts taste so light and flaky, yet flavorful and hungry for more! Uniquely prepared veggie appetizer! (Truffle Oils, salt) Side Note: I was kind of sad they ran out of their Miso Eggplant Dengaku ($12) Appetizer! I love eggplant and really wanted to try. Must be a popular hit, perhaps next time in before we leave!? (1) Bacon Wrapped Jumbo Shrimp Skewer ($13) - So Yummy! Bursts with flavor and really good! I would suggest to crisps the bacon just a little more, and it'll be more perfect. Sushi Rolls: White Lotus ($26) - A perfect creation, so fresh, flavorful and a tasty touch with the crispy sweet onions and added sliced jalapeños for a little spice! (Popcorn shrimp tempura, avocado asparagus, topped with albacore, crispy onions, wasabi truffle soy) Katana ($24) - Very tasty, sushi is cut lean and fresh, top notch quality, melts in your mouth, and savory for more!

It's definitely worth it overall Ya'll!

I was able to stop in for a quick happy hour and I was super happy. I got there with about 5 minutes to spare, and I ordered everything I could lol. Salmon nigiri Crunchy spicy tuna Yellowtail and salmon hand roll Popcorn shrimp Japanes friend chicken Lamb chop Bacon wrapped Jim to shrimp Hanabi spicy runa and yellow tail. All of the sushi was great and fresh. I would order more of the nigiri and hand rolls again rather than the popcorn shrimp,friend chicken, and crunch spicy tuna tempura roll. First time trying hanabi and that was great. Enjoyed the yellow tail hand roll the most. Our server was great.

Fuller suggested that he could show us a more personalized Omakase menu and we trusted him fully. He took care of us more than we could have expected.
