    Rainbow Roll, Spicy Tuna Taco, Seaweed Salad
    Brittany L.

    Best sushi in Austin. The fish is fresh and they give great portions. Wish they had an actual restaurant but the food truck is nice for a casual meal. Friendly service

    Just really okay sushi and slow service. We ordered three types of rolls with spicy tuna and eel. They are very underwhelming and the rice wasnt soft like the sushi texture I like - they tasted cold too. Miso soup was cold and a bit sour when we tasted them. My guess is they took them into the container before the sushi was made and handed to us. It took an hour and calling ahead to finish the sushi. There were plenty of seating cause there are a bunch of food trucks around. It was a super windy night so seating wasnt too pleasant.

    We were running some errands around Burnet Rd and read good reviews about this food truck at 5000 Burnet Rd. so we thought to give it a try! We got there around 1:40PM which was kind of a late lunch, and too early for dinner. It appeared to be a ghost town of food trailers...which could be a good or bad thing meaning no food trucks were open; or they were open but there was not a lot of people. Thankfully it turned out to be the latter. (Whew) However, only four food trailers were open which was not a bad deal for our first time trying the 5000 Burnet food trailers. Dawa Sushi seems to be a Japanese-Korean food truck since they also have other Korean food on their menu as well besides sushi. SERVICE: I read a lot of reviews complaining about the wait so I came prepared. It seems they knew about this complaint since they have a sign that reminds people to be kind as this is real food, made as fast as possible but with care and attention. There was one table waiting for their food ahead of us. Once we put in our order (the lady who took our order was nice), we walked around to check out other food trucks but nothing interested us so we walked back to wait for our food, but as soon as we sat down it was ready. Our whole exploratory journey of the 4 other trucks didn't take more than 10 minutes so that is really not bad at all. FOOD: We got the "SAKURA ROLL" and "CRUNCH ROLL". They both were pretty good; the rice was soft, and the fish was not fishy (one of my fears when getting sushi from a food truck, but who doesn't have that fear right?), and the amount of sauces on each roll was perfect (not too much that it overpowered the rolls). All in all, if you're like me who love to try new restaurants/food trucks that are decent and not a waste of your money, and support locals, you're in for a treat! If we are in the area, we might come back and try their other items on the menu.

    The food was good, but the wait was incredibly frustrating. We went on a Friday after work. When we placed our order the owner said "it would take a while". Since "a while" can mean a lot of things, I asked for a time estimate, and she said "it could be 30 minutes, but could be over 30 minutes". It ended up taking an hour and 15 minutes for us to get our food, which is significantly more than we expected. At that point, no food is worth that wait. If you decide to try Dawa Sushi, I'd probably suggest trying to place your order online or over the phone so you avoid the long wait. As for the food, I got Erika's roll, which had smoked salmon, cream cheese, cucumber, and was topped with mango and a mango sauce. I loved the mango on this. It wasn't mind blowing sushi, but it was good. My boyfriend got the bibimbap, which he said was alright.

    There were only the two very sweet owners working on Friday night so the wait was over an hour long for what I don't think are difficult items to make. Flavors were pretty bland for the sushi (Sakura and jimi rolls) but in the plus side it did taste fresh. I probably could have made a very similar kimchi pork fried rice at home. There was plenty of parking in the lot which is nice for a food truck park.

    Barton Springs Roll and crunch roll. I had already eaten one
    Anna H.

    This is one of the best sushi I've gotten. I got the crunchy roll and the Barton springs roll for ~$22 with tax. My friend and I were the first to order and it took, I won't lie, a long freaking time. 30 minutes. Granted, they had just opened so maybe they had to get stuff organized. But once I tasted this sushi, I didn't mind the wait. Granted, I've only had HEB sushi and maybe one restaurant sushi, but wow! So fresh, the flavors are amazing. So, so fresh. Highly recommend.

    I love coming here for their happy hour! Great value for the price and the couple who owns the Truck are super sweet. Plenty of parking and a good atmosphere

    Service was amazing the lady who rung me up was so sweet. Fish tasted very fresh however portion sizes and taste were solid but nothing crazy. Had to stop by a fast food joint after this because I was still hungry.

    two plates of sushi on a table

    It doesn't look like much from the outside and it is easy to miss but it is really good. I went with my friends for the lunch deal (2 rolls for $9) and I thought that it was worth the price. They take a bit to make it but that is because they make it fresh and prepare each roll after you order it! It is a food truck so you sit outside but they have shade and if the weather if good I would definetly recommend!

    Spicy Tuna Taco, Spicy Roll w tuna
    Neela M.

    Amazing quality and wide variety of sushi! Loved the flavors in the spicy tuna tacos and freshness of the sakura roll. Definitely will be going back!

    An absolute FAN of Dawa sushi at this point. At my previous job we used to order party trays for our small office lunches (20 people). I wasn't sure how they were going to handle it but decided to call and ask if they can cater for a larger group at my current company (70 people). They agreed and probably put in some overtime to make it happen and even delivered it to us. Everyone raveddd about the sushi and it was gone in 15 minutes! Thank you so much Dawa Sushi our team loved it so much they want that every time now!

    I've been wanting to try this place for so long and I'm so glad I finally did The chicken tenders…read morewere pretty big and juicy. I got the spicy tenders and they had a spicy aftertaste but they weren't TOO spicy - my nose only sweat a little The spicy chicken paired with the fluffy sweet waffle with syrup was a crazy good combination. I love a good sweet and savory combo The french fries were gorgeous. Thicc, crisp outside, soft inside, and some yummy ass seasoning They were great on their own but once I dipped them in the longhorn sauce ... GAME OVER. ugh so good. Sandro got the chicken sandwich and it was just as good. The brioche bun was toasted and it came with ranch and pickles (he asked for no pickles though) He also added some of the longhorn sauce to his sandwich and it tasted great. I don't know what they put in the longhorn sauce to make it so good and addicting... but that sauce HITTTTSSSS Last but not least, the mac&cheese was SUPER creamy and did not last very long because it was very tasty I love Longhorn Chicken. We got great service and everything we ate was absolutely delicious. They get 5 chefs kisses from me ‍

    Summary: great place to binge eat after a long day! Food is the perfect compliment to a late night!…read more FOOD: chicken tenders, waffle, and Mac and cheese combo is an absolute must. It's the perfect meal to pick you right back up! Decently priced and worth every penny! However, they may run out before closing-- then I'd recommend the halal truck in that same food truck alley! SERVICE: They're good people who work hard, give a tip it won't kill you, but it'll make their day! Cheers
