The Sue's Crunch Roll and the Lion King was some of the best sushi I've ever eaten! My companions got the cod and the eel dishes and they were so good! Tip; Be careful in short dresses, because the booths have you step down into them! read more

I have been wanting to come here after hearing so many good things about the sushi. The interior design of the restaurant is beautifully curated and has a great ambiance. After reading all the 5 star reviews I was feeling very hopeful with high expectations of the food. We ordered most of the recommended items as well as my favorite nigiri pieces one can't really go wrong with. Hamachi carpaccio 5/5 - this was the first thing that came out and really enjoyed this dish. Really great flavor and very citrusy Yuki roll - Not gonna lie but this had similar flavor profile as the hamachi carpaccio so wasn't as impressed. Also I noticed the texture of the hamachi was really soft and not as firm as I am usually used to Salmon belly nigiri - didn't love it, honestly was a bit fishy King salmon nigiri - this is when we started noticing that most of the fish has this soft, gummy like texture which makes it unappealing to eat, didn't love this one either Dry aged hamachi nigiri - appreciated the size of the fish but again experienced that mushy like texture which overwhelms the eating experience because I didn't want to keep chewing it let alone eat it Santa Barbara Uni nigiri - it was meh nothing special Scallop nigiri - the way it was served it was impossible to eat because it wasn't sliced in a way to eat it properly. I literally didn't eat it because it was served as a whole scallop vertically on the rice Snow trout (special) nigiri - looked promising but again it had that unpleasant texture which by this point we wanted to stop eating overall because it was making it hard to enjoy Big toro roll (which came out last) - definitely the most disappointing we barely ate it and even the toro on top and the toro mixture in the middle also had that odd texture that made all the fish taste the same like gummy mush we barely ate it and actually left most of it uneaten Though the food felt very overhyped and was extremely underwhelming, the service we received from the waiters was very good. I'm truly hoping we went on an off night but even then I don't think we would return. read more

Oh my, how did we not experience dining at Kane until now? This cozy, reservation-only restaurant serves seafood and sushi that rivals or exceeds the offerings of any established 5-star sushi restaurants in Austin. Their seafood/fish is shipped directly from Tokyo's prestigious Toyosu Market. Each order is expertly prepared by their chefs. We sat at the bar so we could see the extensive preparation that was involved in each order creation. We were drooling watching them prepare each order. Our order of edamame, sushi, a special roll, and uni was just exquisite. There is absolutely no need to add soy sauce or wasabi to your fish. They do offer wine, beer, and a good selection of sake. Service exceeded our expectations, and suggestions and descriptions were extremely helpful. I did like that warm towels were provided before our dinner. They also offer an Omakase dining experience. Truly a wonderful dining experience in the CP! read more

Kane sushi - Oh my a new favorite sushi joint - Japanese Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

This review is a long time coming. It's easily one of our favorite restaurants in Austin. Chef Kane and his wife are wonderful people who have created a fantastic atmosphere, and the food is consistently top-notch. The servers are always attentive, remember us as regulars, and really go out of their way to make sure we have a great time every time we visit. We'll definitely keep coming back as often as we can. Hands down, it's the best sushi spot in the area. read more

Absolutely blown away by this authentic Japanese restaurant! I felt transported to Japan upon entering - stunning ambiance. Beautiful minimalist decor and traditional style Japanese seating. I thought the space felt unique; definitely different from a typical Texas sushi joint. Service was quick and efficient. We ordered a bottle of lychee sake (absolutely delicious!). To eat, we split: - Chicken Karaage - 10/10. Fried to perfection, bite size chicken bites with dipping sauces. A perfect starter. - Lion King Roll - 10/10. This is a torched roll with a sweet, smoky flavor. Salmon forward. It melted in my mouth and was so incredibly flavorful. Fish was of such high quality! - Volcano Roll - 7/10. The fish was super fresh but this roll had way too many ingredients, so it was hard to distinguish a flavor. Couldn't appreciate it the same way, We ended our meal with a matcha tiramisu, which was sweet creamy goodness served in such a fun way (a highlighter matcha green wooden box)! It was an incredible experience and a fabulous meal. I look forward to visiting again soon for a future sushi fix! read more

Absolutely favorite sushi place besides Neighborhood Sushi for quality meal. I appreciate the small, intimate space to keep the service and food prep consistently excellent. The traditional tatami style seating was a nice authentic touch to the Japanese culture but does involve climbing stairs so anyone with mobility or disabilities may want to be mindful of that. They do also provide standard table and sushi bar seating. Those chairs are super comfy but dangerous when a food coma hits after a big, filling meal. Small bites we've enjoyed: edamame, gyoza, A5 wagyu, hamachi, bluefin o-toro Makimono rolls we loved: Sue's Crunch, Akuma, K.T. Special, Red Crane, Lion King Desserts: matcha tiramasu We'll be brave enough to do the omakase one day. read more

UPDATE: My husband surprised me with omakase dinner at Kane ( our favorite sushi spot in all of Austin ) for my 40th birthday. I don't even know what words to use to describe this dining experience. It was out of this world amazing, every sashimi and Nigiri that was served was literally out of this world. The A5 wagyu, the bluefin tuna, the fish pate. Kane the owner and the head chef who was serving us was so nice, welcoming. He explained to us that all the fish he was serving us had just arrived from Japan that day to Houston at 12pm and we were having it at 5 pm. This sushi spot has always been our go to since they opened and we always saw Omakase and let me tell you if you want out of this world experience, get in touch with them and reserve your spot because you won't be disappointed. Best experience, fresh fish and just overall amazing. read more

Visited on a Monday night in November a little after 6PM. Seated at a table and settled in. Service was great and the ambience was quite nice. The food was incredible, well worth the price. We had the Spicy Tuna Shiso Tempura, Ankimo, Spider Roll, Hamachi Carpaccio, and the Hamachi and the Hokkaido Hotate sashimi. All were delicious, next time we would probably skip the Spider Roll as it was a little too filling relative to the overall meal The Scallops (Hokkaido Hotate) were amazing! As was the Hamachi sashimi and everything else we had. The Ankimo was very well prepared and dressed, though I will confess that monkfish liver will not be for everyone. We loved the meal and the restaurant and will definitely be returning, the preparation and presentation of the dishes were stellar! read more

Kane sushi is the best sushi in Austin. I live in south congress but make the drive to cedar park. It's fresh, buttery, and delicious. They give you warm towels and the staff is SO friendly. Make sure you have a reservation as they are always very busy. This is a must try spot... the inside is also very lovely, modern but traditional with beautiful seating and ambiance. Perfect for a date! read more

Kane sushi - Japanese Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

Came to celebrate my best friends birthday. The only "odd" thing was the seating in which for some you have to climb 2-3 stairs, side step over seat cushions then step down into the table. For people with disability issues the booth would be difficult for that reason but they do have standard tables as well. They also provided warm hand towels to clean our hand. We ordered some warm sake, fried rice, gyoza, and rounds of sushi. Everything tasted great, it is pricier for sushi but the quality and flavor of each roll is definitely some of the best that I've had in the Austin area. We had the M.T, volcano, Akuma, dragon, and lion king roll. I genuinely enjoyed each one. I would happily return and is definitely a great place if you're looking for an elevated sushi / Japanese dining experience. read more

10/10 spot here! Came out here for a work dinner and we had a blast trying everything. Didn't take all the pics I needed but you can get the gist from what I post. Service was awesome and very helpful. The seated area we had was pretty unique. It's a booth with a dug out area for the table so it can be a bit difficult to get in and out if you've never been here before. Soon as we sat they gave us hot warm towels to clean our hands. Really enjoyed that. As for the food, everything was superb! The sushi was really fresh. The presentation was great to look at. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Tried the monkfish liver for the first time ever and I have to say I'm a fan. The KT special was my favorite but didn't get a pic of it. Will definitely be revisiting this place! read more

Came in for a birthday dinner. The restaurant wasn't busy at all. This was my second time here, and it was as good as the first. Food came out pretty quick. Definitely a splurge meal but it was worth it. 3 people for about $170 before tax and tip. No leftovers but we were all full and satisfied. Most of the items are well worth their price. You definitely get good servings of fish and the ratio to rice was just right. Service was good and the workers were nice. Highly recommend this place. read more

I wish I knew about this place sooner. I would bring so many people here. One of my new favorite sushi places in Austin. The ambience is awesome, it feels like you are transported straight to Japan. We were seated by the bar which was cool, but the seats there felt awkward to get in and out of. They were very comfortable though. We ordered the big toro, the KT special, squid legs and two orders of waygu nigiri. Big toro: really great fatty fish. There's fresh wasabi on it already which was a new experience for me. I think a smidge less of the wasabi would be my personal preference. The KT special is tasty, but very very messy to eat. We were recommended to use our hands. The squid legs have got to be some of the best ones I've had. The fry was spectacular and the sauce paired with it was phenomenal. Pretty spicy and such a depth of flavor. Waygu melts in your mouth but the caviar didn't add much for me. All of it was very fresh and made to order. Watching the chefs prepare the dishes right in front of you was so fun. Our server was really great. Would highly recommend! read more

My friend & I had such an amazing experience at Kane Sushi!! It honestly went way above our expectations. We got in last minute and were lucky enough to grab seats at the bar top right in front of where they were making the sushi, which ended up being the best part of the experience. Watching everything being made right in front of us was so cool and something we didn't even plan on. The chefs were so skilled and you could really see the care that goes into each dish, every detail was intentional. Everything we had was incredibly flavorful, with so many different tastes and colors. The presentation was beautiful and everything tasted so fresh. You can really tell they use high-quality ingredients. Overall it was such a fun and memorable dining experience. Great atmosphere, amazing food, and definitely a place I'd recommend if you're looking for something special + a hidden gem in Cedar Park! read more

I'm such a big fan of Kane! The interior is so cute and it's the perfect combination of feeling like you're eating at a nice restaurant mixed with the comfort of a smaller homey establishment. The servers are so friendly and efficient, quick to give you a warm towel for your hands, and quick to take your order. The quality of the fish is so good and fresh, and I haven't had anything that I didn't like. And the plating is always so beautiful too. But I will say, I prefer the simpler rolls over the more extravagant ones, just so you can really appreciate the quality and flavor of the fish. The standout dish for me, though, was the matcha tiramisu. It was, of course, smaller than we expected, sadly. But it was so so delicious! I've had other matcha tiramisus, but this one is unlike any other I've had. The cream is giving CREAM. It's so milky and thick and I don't have any other descriptive words besides creamy lol. And not just the texture, but the flavor was full cream flavor. I know I'm just using this same words over and over again, but I just don't know how to describe it any better. Anyways, the matcha flavor is super strong too, which I love. But it's not too bitter because the cream can keep up with it, since it's so strong. I've also heard really good things about their omakase, so maybe I'll try that next time! read more

Kane Sushi is easily one of the best sushi spots in North Austin, at least in my book. For starters, we always go for the shrimp tempura, which is honestly the best I've ever had. And yes, that includes comparisons to a Michelin-starred spot like Enyuan Kobayashi in Japan (strictly speaking about the shrimp, of course). The tempura is crisp, and perfectly seasoned without feeling greasy. When it comes to sushi, the bluefin toro and salmon nigiri are must-haves, always fresh and buttery. We also like to try something new each visit, and so far every choice has been a win. The atmosphere at Kane Sushi feels warm and traditional, with a mix of regular tables and zashiki seating for parties of four or more. It's a nice touch that gives the place an authentic vibe, perfect for a relaxed dinner or a special night out. Service is attentive without being rushed, and the overall experience feels well balanced from start to finish. Before you leave, make sure to try the green tea matcha tiramisu. It's a creative twist on a classic dessert and the perfect sweet ending to an exceptional meal. read more

Kane Sushi is hands-down one of the best sushi spots in Austin, and honestly one of the best we've had outside of Japan. Every time we come here, it delivers. We've gone all in on the menu and never had a single dish that missed the mark. Our top favorites are the Big Toro Roll, the Spider Roll, and their incredible variety of nigiri. The quality and freshness are unmatched--every bite is clean, balanced, and shows the care that goes into their preparation. Even their takeout holds up, which says a lot about their consistency. It's also a spot the whole family enjoys. Our kids devour the fried rice and noodles, which makes it an easy choice for a family meal out. After traveling and eating sushi around the world, the only place we've found better quality and value is in Japan itself. For Austin, Kane Sushi is in a league of its own. Forget the other spots--if you want the freshest, most authentic sushi in the city, this is the place to be. Service is amazing, Lisa is always so attentive our boys adore her. The ambiance is simple and functional, exactly what we need. Note - make sure to make reservations read more

Keep in mind it is reservation only so enjoy looking at the photos I took and then go make that reservation. read more

What an amazing neighborhood Japanese restaurant. The sushi is outstanding and the creativity on the rolls is incredible. They do a great job of balancing the fish with the accompanying ingredients and it works really nicely. The Big Toro is stacked and packed with wonderful fatty tuna. The truffle and caviar topping really compliment the tuna. Highly recommended! The Volcano roll looks overly complicated but wow does it pack a flavor punch. It was one of our favorites. The hidden gem is the Tonkatsu. Easily the best dive had in Austin and comparable to some of the best I had in Japan. Juicy, crunchy and the sauce really hits home. Service was fast and friendly. read more

Simply the best sushi in Austin. My friends went to japan and said they couldn't find a better sushi place there than Kane

For Cedar Park, Kane Sushi stands out very well. I'd rate this a bit higher than a 4 out of 5, say 4.2 or 4.1, as Tsuke to Otoko are incredible experiences for sushi. Let's get into the review: Pros: - Shopping mall-like parking (easy) - Spacious seating for dining - Sake, beer, and wine - Big cuts of fish Side Notes: - No hard liquor - Only open 5 to 9:30 PM (7 days) - Accepts reservations What We Got: - Ton of nigiri (more below) - Rainbow / Spider row - Premium sake + Sapporo What We Loved: Design/Space: They did a great job on the design. You have private areas, or you can sit by the bar. We have been there three times now, one takeout, one time by the bar, and another time in a booth. We prefer sitting at the bar to engage more with people. We don't remember the music played as we were conversing with our neighboring guests. Food/Drinks: They have a premium sake list that pairs well with your sushi, but don't expect pairing like a Michelin location where they hand-select wines/sakes for each bite. However, it was delicious, and you can't go wrong with a Sapparo. The fish cuts are really big, so this is the place for those who like it. I prefer slightly smaller so that the balance from the rice to the fish is perfect, but it was delicious. Most people love fatty tuna and uni, and although both were great, the Kinmedai (Golden Snapper) and Madai (Japanese Sea Bream) stood out the most. The takeout boxes are designed nicely and prepared nicely. Staff: The staff was very friendly and responsive (no complaints). Opportunities To Improve: I haven't tried the omakase here, so I don't know if the experience differs. I would love to engage with the chefs to learn more about the fish, etc., but we ordered a la carte, so next time. It's not an improvement per se, as I can't speak on an experience I haven't tried yet with their omakase. Summary: For sushi in Cedar Park, it's a great experience. It's nice to have good sushi in the area, and the price is slightly higher than average for what you get. It's not a top-end experience such as Otoko or Tsuke, so if you are looking for a Japanese Old Fashioned, or have conversations with the sushi chef about where they sourced the fish, this might not be the place for you. Great addition to Cedar Park! read more

Kane is my favorite sushi restaurant in the Cedar Park/Austin area. It's a great place for a date night or to celebrate a special occasion. We've been back several times and always have a delicious experience with excellent service. I really love the decor and the horigotatsu seating (a traditional Japanese table low to the ground with a recessed floor). Their sushi is phenomenal. Not only is it beautifully presented, but the fish is fresh, high quality and the ratio of fish to rice is perfect. I recommend ordering a variety of their nigiri. I'd like to come back and try their katsu sometime. Sometimes they can accept walk ins, but they are usually pretty busy, so get reservations. read more

Absolutely perfect-my wife and I had the greatest sushi for my birthday and I have a new favorite restaurant. The ambience is excellent-I will request a booth next time-you have to sort of climb into them-cool design. Every roll we tried was delicious and beautifully presented. The spider roll was huge and requires 2 bites unless you're a savage like me. The tempura roll was probably my favorite (pictured). The other was a spicy tuna with avocado, salmon and tons of popping tobiko-which was. Great service, great attention to detail-I've already recommended this place to at least 5 ppl. I'm no sushi snob-I honestly love it all-but this was even better than my previous favorites in this area: uchi and uchiko-which is saying a lot I think. Thank you to the chefs and staff for a great birthday dinner! read more

LOVEEEE! My second time here so you know it's worth coming back!! A5 wagyu just melts in your mouth and looks so fancy with the caviar and uni on top. The scallop nigiri is my favorite!! I know this is a sushi place but their uni pasta is sooo good!! Though if you get it, you may be pretty full haha. The ramen is just ok, nothing special. The matcha tiramisu disappointed me because it was really just cream with some matcha powder on top. It looks cool but there was barely any cake base. I was scraping and scraping only to find I was scraping the wooden box. Besides these, their sushi is really worth your money. read more

This is my second time visiting Kane sushi and it has exceeded my expectation yet again! You really can't go wrong with any of their nigiris but my favourites are def the A5 wagyu and scallop - the wagyu are so soft and almost melt in your mouth and it's complemented with some caviar and uni on top; the scallop tastes really fresh as well! Their rolls are exceptional, big portions and filled with different ingredients & sauces. I think the uni pasta is really great but you will have to share it with friends since it's kind of a filling dish. As far as the ramen goes, I think it's a bit of a letdown since it's on the salty side. We finished off with the matcha tiramisu, and in my opinion, it's just like cream and matcha powder but not really a tiramisu. Although I do like the presentation. Overall, I think it deserves five stars! The service was great as well! read more
