    This review is based on my most recent visit, though I've been to Kyoto multiple times before. At this point, I might have tried every non-veg sushi on their menu. I still haven't explored their Asian food options because I can never get enough of their sushi. The consistency in taste is incredible; every single time. Whether it's a weekday or a weekend, be prepared to wait in line. Once, I even waited two hours to get in. My parents live nearby, so every time I visit Bastrop, this is my go-to spot. Their mochi just hits differently after a meal. The ambience is simple, and the tables are placed close together due to how busy they always are. But trust me, you won't care about the cutesy aesthetics when the sushi tastes Michelin-level.

    Another great sushi experience. We started to try different items but gravitated to our old favorites; therefore no new pictures. Tried a different sushi restaurant last week since Kyoto's was closed. By far Kyoto's is the Best in Town. Not only the food but the ambiance as well, and the service as always perfection.

    Party of 7. Food was acceptable but not quality I expect. Although the food looked nice it was missing flavor. I've been here about 5 years ago and the food was really good. I read the recent reviews before I went and I saw people comment that the place wasn't as good as it used to be, and unfortunately they are right. I had the bento box. I was disappointed with the quality of the beef. It had a strange gritty texture. The rest of the party said the food was just ok. Service & Atmosphere We arrived about 8:45 pm. They are open until 9:30. But we felt rushed the entire time. At first the server wanted us to order fast which I understood due to the time. But then they brought the check right when they served the food, which is tacky. Then by 9:25pm the workers were all lined up behind us waiting. They had already cleaned the rest of the restaurant (it's very small). I think they should close at 9 if the staff expects to leave at 9:30pm. Therefore, the atmosphere was uncomfortable and the service was rushed. I will not eat here again. I had 2 out of town visitors in addition to my family and this place was not impressive.

    Well I am not from here and I was in the mood for some hibachi. I decided to give this place a try. Everything tastes great and they have a friendly staff. Everything from the soup to the hibachi steak had great flavors! I will eat here again next time I pass through!

    Great service and wonderful sushi. We have been coming here with regular frequency for a number of years and always enjoy sharing with friends and family.

    We're Orange County transplants, spoiled on great sushi. We literally would not have considered buying in Bastrop if it didn't have a sushi restaurant. When we first came here, we were surprised to see that half the sushi rolls contain cream cheese, bento box options include General Tso's chicken, and the meno includes eggrolls and hot and sour soup. But that's not to say they don't also offer great Japanese food. You could say it's fusion, but I think they just include popular Chinese dishes because they aren't sure Bastrop is fully ready for full-on Japanese. But I anticipate that, before too long, they'll feel comfortable enough to go full Kyoto. And their true Japanese dishes actually are pretty good, I must say. They have hibachi, nigiri, sashimi, teriyaki, seaweed salad, edamame, gyoza, tempura, udon, sake... the things you look for in a good Japanese restaurant (not just sushi). This visit, we ordered a tempura appetizer and three entrees (one each): a chirashi bowl, teriyaki chicken, and a salmon combo platter. All were very good. And also shared a bottle of Tyku sake. The chirashi included ten pieces of sashimi, comprised of yellowtail, redfish, salmon and tuna. They were all very good. The tuna was great, actually. The teriyaki was well-prepared. The sauce wasn't too thick or sweet, and had a nice teriyaki flavor. Teriyaki should be about mirin and soy sauce, not about high fructose corn syrup, and they get that. Our son, who has been to Japan and actually speaks Japanese, enjoyed his salmon combination, which included a salmon roll, a spicy salmon roll, and nigiri. The service was surprisingly good. I was quite impressed. They were extremely attentive, observant, and helpful. Prices are what I expect for Japanese food. No complaints. And I'd quickly give them five stars if they dropped the Chinese dishes and elevated Bastrop to being a city with an authentic Japanese restaurant, which they're perfectly capable of. I mean, we like Chinese food as much as anyone, but we already have a nice Chinese option in town. We're used to having many distinct types of Japanese and Chinese restaurants to choose from (ramen, sushi, udon, hibachi, Japanese street food, Szechuan, dim sum, noodle houses, Hong Kong BBQ, etc). And we're just not sure why there's a need to put Chinese and Japanese food on the same menu. That said, we'll continue coming here. And during peak hours, there's often a wait for a table, so it's clear that what they're doing today is resonating. But maybe, as the wait times get longer, they'll start transitioning to what it seems they really want to be... not "Asian," but distinctly Japanese.

    Great sushi spot! Everything tasted fresh- we will definitely come back to try more items from the menu next time! I will be ordering the ocean salad again because it came with such a good amount of fish and we really loved it with the cucumbers underneath. Service was quick and friendly!!

    Visiting friends in Austin, they insisted on taking me here for an omakase experience and I'm so…read moreglad they did! Sushi is my ultimate favorite food, so after reading countless glowing reviews, I was beyond excited to finally experience Sushi by Scratch for myself. My friend booked this about a month in advance and thoughtfully noted my dietary restrictions. There was Wagyu on the menu, which they seamlessly substituted for me without hesitation, and they also accommodated my pineapple allergy with zero issues. The attention to detail started well before the first bite. Guests are invited to arrive about 30 minutes early to complete check-in and participate in the pre-omakase ritual. After checking in, we were seated in the waiting area and served a refreshing non-alcoholic ginger beverage, followed by canape service. We were given 2 beautifully prepared bites as we waited to transition into the full experience. It set the tone perfectly. Once guided into the omakase room, we were greeted with a handwritten wooden name plaque at our seat, a small but thoughtful touch that immediately made the evening feel personal. With only a 10-seat counter, the experience is incredibly intimate. The chefs introduced themselves, and we were presented with the beverage options. Two of us opted for the Japanese whisky pairing, while another chose the sake pairing, both excellent complements to the meal. Before the first piece even hit the counter, the chefs revealed the night's journey on the wall: 16 wooden plaques, each hand-lettered with the names of pristine fish and indulgent bites. It reads like a quiet flex on hamachi, madai, akami, toro, A5 wagyu where each course waiting its turn. It's a reminder that omakase isn't about choice but about surrender. One detail that truly stood out was how effortlessly accommodating they were. When my dietary restriction came up again, the Wagyu substitution was handled with no hesitation, no awkwardness--just a seamless adjustment that still felt intentional and indulgent. Throughout the meal, the chefs chatted with us as they prepared each course, explaining the fish, techniques, and flavor profiles. The interaction felt warm and natural, and the intimate setting made it easy to connect not only with the chefs but also with the guests seated next to us. Overall, this was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend Sushi by Scratch to anyone who truly loves omakase. I'm already thinking about doing this again next time at their LA location when I get back home.

    Amazing experience and worth every penny! We will be back. The level of service is incredibleread more
