Really solid AYCE sushi spot! We're staying at the hotel next door and decided to stop by here for AYCE lunch. $25 for lunch is not bad at all. We found the fish quality to be pretty good and they didn't skimp out on the cut size. We left very full and satisfied! Service was ultra fast too! We got our food within minutes of ordering. Our server was very friendly and respectful. Everyone else was quick at clearing our tables of dirty plates. read more

Machi Sushi - Lunch menu as of May 2025 - Sushi Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

Machi is so adorable inside and we were seated quickly for a party of two. We were excited by how many options were on the AYCE Dinner menu. I'm giving this three stars because the food itself was really hit or miss. All of the cooked food was great - tempura, cooked rolls, dessert. The fresh food was mediocre at best. The edamame did not taste fresh and the raw fish was chewy and tasty fishy. TLDR - I would not return for fresh food, but if you're craving deep fried it hits the spot. read more

Gave these guys a try, they had been open long and were working out some service problems but the food was great for the price. Try to order your whole meal at once, don't order a little at a time. read more

I was excited to try this new all you can eat sushi place but...the sashimi quality is bad. Raw sushi tastes unclean and the food does not match menu pictures (example: mussels). You are limited to two hours for the all you can eat. Sashimi takes forever (20+ minute wait) and tastes very fishy. There is some questionable black stuff on the scallops. However, the cooked food and rolls are decent. The milk tea is good and comes in a can. I will say I am impressed with the decorations. I like how there are robots holding some of the dishes too. There is plenty of seating and the restaurant is connected to the Aiden hotel but the food is so-so and there are better AYCEs. read more

Holy shit absolutely come here. You order something it's on the table in less than 2 minutes. You definitely get your moneys worth and the service was impeccable! Alan absolutely killed it staying very attentive and never making us wait. All I can say is come and get your money worth we ordered sooooo much and it was insanely good, all of it all around! read more

This place is definitely over hyped on social media. The sushi quality is fine, what you normally would expect from an AYCE sushi place. However, the service was absolutely awful. Orders took forever and we kept having to repeat our orders to the waiter. We even overheard another couple complaining to a waiter about lost items and receiving orders they didn't order. I understand it's their soft opening but it felt way too chaotic and unorganized. Also it's crazy they only have one bathroom for an AYCE place. One last thing, I saw they had a lot of 5 star reviews before going; however, this morning all of them were deleted. I'm guessing they were away free boba in exchange for a 5 star review. Needless to say, take everything on social media (including this review) with a grain of salt. read more

the restaurant has a nice interior and wonderful service! our food came super fast and we were able to order regularly despite it being crowded. the sashimi and raw items were done well with beautiful plating. our favorites were the hamachi chili, smoked salmon, and eel. they were the perfect amounts of fresh, tender, and fragrant. the tokyo roll was good too, and we liked how the rolls have more filling and less rice. on the other hand, we did not enjoy the beef appetizers and tuna sashimi, which were too tough and chewy. the baked mussels were too fishy and drowned in mayo, and the red bean + green tea ice creams had no flavor either. all that being said there were few good dishes that we kept ordering so its no big deal, you'll find something you like! read more

Visited machi sushi on a Sunday, we were happily sat quickly for a table for two despite a very full restaurant. Very comfortable chairs! Service was very fast, and food as well came out very fast. A few of the rolls were decent, unfortunately the sashimi lacked flavor and was under seasoned or unseasoned. The spicy tuna roll tuna mix was actually mixed in with tempura inside the roll, I personally have never seen tempura mixed in with the spicy tuna the way it was (roll was returned). The best thing on the menu was the fried Oreo dessert with whipped cream. Restaurant was quite loud but we were still able to chat sitting across from each other. read more

I visited this restaurant on 3/11/25; and was extremely turned off. I had high hopes of finding a sushi restaurant for a good deal but after my experience, I don't think I'll be returning. *I want to preface this by saying that I don't think ALL the servers here do this.* My server in particular was very sweet and was not the issue here. Another server who brought out my food was carrying my plate of food in his hand and proceeded to cough into the hand carrying my food. To make matters worse, another server was stacking plates of food that was to be SERVED to customers! Not stacking empty plates to clean a table, but literally stacking dishes on top of one another- the bottom of plates were touching food. I cannot be more clear. I really tried my best to keep a positive, hopeful attitude but after what I had witnessed- I decided to speak to their manager. I did emphasize that it was not my particular server and I did point out the specific servers. The manager proceeded to apologize and explain that they are a new restaurant and are busy. She gave me a coupon for boba. But after what I witnessed, why would I ever step back into this establishment when it was clearly very unhygienic The food: mediocre, I think once you've been spoiled with high end sushi, this may or may not be your cup of tea. Their sushi rolls were alright. I also ordered their udon dish with beef because it looked really good, but unfortunately it was one of the plates stacked under another plate of food. The calamari was mid- it was mostly just the squid tubes, not the mini octopus/tentacles you might see in other calamari dishes (or at least that was what my dish was like). Their hot green tea was pretty standard. read more

As far as AYCE sushi places this is a 5 star for me. Please take this review in relation to other ayce places. The sashimi is quite thick and tasted great to me. Service was also super fast! We had 11 people and I started getting my sushi before the other side of the table finished ordering. Rolls were pretty good too! I would skip the boba though not good enough to spend money on. My friend said there aren't enough bathrooms for the capacity. The vibe is a great casual place. Can't go wrong! read more

Machi Sushi - Tokyo roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

This place is a bit of a story for me. I first found out about it when my sister went and told me how much she loved it (shout out LaPeshaa C *hearts*). I wanted to go but never found the time. I planned on going one day after work, but one day (today 8/19) I had to run an unexpected errand and since I was out during rush hour I figured I should go. It was about 15 minutes from where I was going, plus I realized they wouldn't be open when I left work later in the week. So I fought traffic to and made it in a bit over the estimated 15. I was immediately greeted by a cheerful young lady who instructed me to go to the to go bar to place my order. As I was walking up, I noticed 2 places she might have been talking about. As I slowly walked to deciper, a guy was standing behind the closest bar staring at me with his arms crossed. I walked up and he didn't say a word. I let him know (more quizzically) that I wanted to place a to go order. He pulled out a mobile order machine and just stood there. So I started my order and he told me to hold on. I waited while he punched the buttons then said "ok". I gave my order and he asked if that was it. I said yes and he said "ok". He did ask if I wanted a drink while I waited, I declined, got another "ok" then was left alone. I looked around the restaurant and noticed there was a lot of employees standing around. A shocking amount of employees. They weren't incredibly busy, but to have that many people just standing around on the periphery just seemed a bit odd. I looked for a bathroom but the signage was a bit misleading. The restaurant is connected to a hotel; and I realized this is the old Blue Moon! I went back and forth looking for the bathroom for a bit before an employee of the restaurant pointed through the restaurant and told me to ask another employee. I went over and saw another sign for the bathroom. Going in, it was warm inside but relatively clean. Not a place I'd be uncomfortable using the facilities. I wasn't there long and by the time I made it back to the bar my order was ready. The guy handed me my bag and took my card. Never saying a word. I had to let him know I pushed to have my receipt printed. It was like he didn't want to assist me. I don't know if I can say he was rude but definitely odd...to the point that he made me uncomfortable. I was glad to get out of there and away from him. In the car I checked my bag to make sure everything was there (as one does). The first thing I noticed was the bad was wet. It had soaked through to the outside. At first I thought it was one of the condiments but then realized it was the sauce from my Hamachi. Upsetting. Then I thought I was missing my order of red snapper sashimi but then realized it was put in the same container as the Hamachi. I wouldn't have done that because you wouldn't want the sauce from the Hamachi to get on the red snapper but since the sauce from the Hamachi was soaking into the paper bag I guess it didn't matter. When I got home I was still very excited to try the food. But it was more of a let down. The Hamachi was good and probably would have been better with the sauce. The red snapper was probably the highlight. It was fresh and firm. The double spicy roll was a COMPLETE AND TOTAL LET DOWN. The best thing to say about thing I can say about this roll is that the rice and sauce is good. Outside of that, the main ingredients of the roll were a disappointment. The spicy tuna on top was a weird texture and wasn't spicy at all. I know because I dissected the roll once I saw the most egregious atrocity which is that the "crunchy spicy crab" was imitation crab (which it doesn't state online and the picture doesn't show) with a crunchy mixture layer laid on top. Without the sauce there is nothing spicy with this roll. Being that I abhor imitation crab this was a complete waste of money for me. I would have never gotten it if I'd known. Overall, the averageness of the food coupled with the weird guy at the bar, I can't say this place is a must for me. It's out of the way and I could find much better quality at the same price point. I would like to come back to try the all you can eat since my sister loved it, but going ala cart and making this a go to is a no for me. read more

First time trying this place and so happy we did! Stopped in around 2p on a Saturday, seated immediately. It's important to note if you want to sit in the instagram worthy main dining area you need reservations but the enclosed patio was also perfectly fine just not as done up as the main area. This was the first time I have done an all you can eat meal option and it was a lot of food choices for a great dinner price of $38 per person. For our party of 2 we had a little bit of everything: crab rangoons, gyoza, hibachi steak, 3 sushi rolls, chicken yakitori, and 2 tempura desserts. We took black milk tea to go as you cannot take any food or leftovers w you. The pace of the food coming out is pretty great as well, if you start w apps and maybe a roll, it comes to the table as it's made so there's something to continuously snack on. I also appreciate the healthy heap of ginger and wasabi paste, I usually have to ask for more and for once I didn't! It was a great experience and I can't wait to come back again! read more

On the outside this place is a little lack luster. It's right next to a hotel so driving in was a little confusing. But inside was gorgeous and nicely decorated. They even gave a little robot that serves drinks and is so cute. The service was great. The all you can eat had nice options. My only problem was probably the sushi I had. It wasn't the best. The fried rice and sides I had were good. But the deep fried salmon roll wasn't good of the salmon skin. Everything needed more sauce and something different. I only eat cooked sushi so that might be why. But the other things like aged tofu was good. The boba was amazing!!! Best I've ever had. My best friend enjoyed her sushi too. There's plenty of parking and around 2pm it's not too crowded. Lunch is cheaper with smaller menu. I left feeling very full. read more

New go to spot for AYCE! Machi Sushi blows our current AYCE sushi out of the water and is on par to the good AYCE spots in Houston. I'm very excited about this place being an option in Austin. The food was tasty and fresh. My only improvement item would be that a considerable amount of our sashimi had bones in it. Our server Angelina was on her first day and she was great and excited to be there. Loved the art and decor. read more

Their food was really good, really loved the sushi and the green tea ice cream. Only complaint I have is that server was a tad rude. My boyfriend and his friends ordered all you can eat and I wanted a simple entree and politely asked to order dessert when he came to get another order and said, "You know you're gonna have to pay for that?" Which, obviously, but even they commented after how it was messed up the way he said that. The ambience was nice though, not too loud and rather clean. read more

All you can eat sushi for a good value! Good selection of sushi rolls, sashimi, and appetizers. We came during their soft opening and again for a team party, service was good both times and accommodating. Decor is very nicely decorated and creates an ambiance. They have patio seating for a more spacious & private seating. read more

Vibe: Our server Roy was fast, friendly and informative. The inside aesthetic was cute. Nice date night spot. Food: First bite of raw sushi was warm and mushy. Tried my best to keep swallow... couldn't. Ruined my experience. read more

10/10 Food is pretty good! I recommend going for their dinner menu (3pm-close) it has options for everyone, even non sushi eaters! I came in here with my 10 month old and the whole staff was so nice. They were keeping her distracted while I ate. anytime someone came by they were waving at her or smiling! I believe it was the manager or maybe an owner gave us a free kitty stuffy to bring home! The staff is so friendly every time I've gone! I love the vibe of it as well they always have really great music and it's just so fun! I went on a weekday around 3 and it wasn't super busy and I'd definitely recommend that if you have young children it can get packed on the weekends! My server was Alan and he was so kind! I'd highly recommend the beef tataki, the cowboy roll, and the Tokyo roll! But honestly everything I've tried has been great! read more

Never thought id say this but that's some good value ayce sushi!

Surprised I found out about this this late but probably better for my waistline. read more

Service is was not the best. Sat down and the bench was dirty, drank out of the water cup to find dried rice in the inside of the cup. Asked for gluten free soy sauce, manager gave me soy sauce in a bottle. Server, Vince said gluten free soy sauce is never served in a bottle, always in a small dish. Was sent many dishes we did not order and did not receive our correct order most of the time. Food was good, service was the issue. Great concept, not good communication with the staff with each other. Would not go back and will not be recommending. read more

I took my partner out for his birthday and the atmosphere and food was really good! Our waitress was Natalie and she was pretty knowledgeable of the menu and gave good revs - snow crab salad was a score. Give me 14 of em. The price for the lunch all you can eat is amazing and gives me full range of the awesome nigiri among other things. Won't be my last time visiting here for sure read more

Fantastic all you can eat dinner special that includes everything but alcoholic beverages! And even then, the cocktails are all fairly priced. There's something for everyone whether you're a California roll only, cooked fish only, or only nigiri kind of person.Plenty of authentic and fusion food available, great flavors and quick service. Players come out one after the other! The only thing that was tough was getting them to clear plates. Ambience was very casual but the menu could make it feel more elevated. Really great overall! read more

The service was good, our waitress was very attentive. Some dishes did take a while to come out. The sushi wasn't mind blowing, but the apps were good. Overall a great deal. They don't take reservations and we went at 1pm on a Sunday and it was packed. Even with the whole place packed, it wasn't too loud or too close together that it would affect your conversation at the tables. We were really did not like the volcano roll. They do charge a leftovers fee if you have too much of a roll left on your table. Save room for dessert! The fried desserts were very good! read more

Let's talk Machi Sushi! I'll start by saying the décor was on point--beautiful, eye-catching, and the kind of place that makes you think you're in for a real treat. But sadly, the magic started and stopped there. We began with appetizers, which were...decent. Nothing spectacular, but they did the job. Then came the sushi. Some of the pieces were okay for the $25 lunch price, but the eel was a letdown, and the quality just didn't have that fresh feel. I even had a mix-up on a hand roll order; I pointed to it on the menu, but because I didn't verbally specify, they brought a regular sushi roll instead. Lesson learned, I guess? Unfortunately, the roll I received wouldn't even make it past HEB's sushi counter, so expectations took another dive. I get it, for $25 AYCE, we're not talking high-end fish here, but it felt like they weren't even trying. Now, dessert had its own issues. The fried Oreos came out burnt beyond recognition--think charcoal. The ice cream was actually nice, so there's a tiny silver lining there. In the end, I'd have to say it's the "Golden Corral" of sushi. If you're looking for quantity over quality, it's an option. However, if you're seeking quality, flavorful sushi and such, I'd say skip it. read more

We went for my daughter's birthday. The service was outstanding, our waiter was very attentive and it seemed like they started bringing the food out before we were even finished ordering. The girls had several rolls and the individual sushi/sashimi pieces, and the birthday girl tried the peach flavored saki. Better than regular but very sweet. The atmosphere was fun and the waiters sang happy birthday and brought her a present, in addition to ice cream with fried oreos! I wish I could say the sushi was great but the atmosphere made up for it. My sister ordered the hibachi and they brought some of every kind. We loved the salmon and egg rolls, and the teriyaki chicken appetizer was good. Would I go back? Probably not. It was a fun, one time experience and a great value, considering, but I like other places better for sushi. My daughter loved it however so I'm glad we tried something new. read more

The hype is most certainly real, y'all. I had the eel roll, vegas roll, sweetheart roll, gyoza, seaweed salad, mushroom soup, cold sake, and some yakotori and nothing dissapointed. For just $35/person the all you can eat sushi was so damn good. As said previously they also have lots of other options besides sushi like chicken/beef takoyaki, miso soup, mushroom soup, seaweed salad, etc. and it was all great. Our server River was also very attentive and fortunately we weren't charged any extra for the few pieces of sushi we couldn't finish because we were all impossibly full by the end of the experience. They also don't do any "gotcha" policies like only having sushi and ensuring you eat the rice so you get fuller faster because they openly offer the choice to just have the fish by itself. We'll certainly be back soon! read more

The service was quick and polite. Our server came by a lot to check on us. We came on a weekend. It looks like you will be paying the dinner ayce price all day on the weekends? I don't think it was mentioned anywhere. Based on the food quality, we will not be returning. read more

Compares to all AYCE sushi place this is decent. Made to order all you can eat. Lunch price is $25 per person. Decent. Don't want to go to a sushi place lower than that. Worry abt the quality they offered. All that we had were pretty good. What we like the most is: how thin the rice in the roll, and small amount in maki sushi. The server, Alan, was good and attentive. Kept stopping by to ask what we want next. All in all, decent. We don't have any complaints. read more

We heard about this opening through an Asian food Facebook group. I am always down for an Ayce sushi place. Despite it being a soft opening, I felt like service was pretty good! Food came out pretty fast and even though a few rolls came out late, the servers were incredibly kind and apologetic about it. My favorites were the Hama chili and popcorn chicken. The sashimi salmon tasted pretty fresh and in fact most of the food was good quality for the price. The only thing I didn't enjoy was some appetizer items came out kind of lukewarm. There were also a few items that I think were forgotten, but overall I'd definitely return! read more

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! This place is a sushi lover's dream. The all-you-can-eat menu is packed with fresh, delicious rolls, sashimi, and creative appetizers that kept coming to our table faster than we could finish them. Every bite tasted like it was made to order (because it was!), and the presentation was beautiful. The staff was so friendly and attentive without being overbearing--they made sure our drinks stayed full and our plates stayed fresh. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, making it just as perfect for a date night as it would be for a group outing. If you love sushi and want quality AND quantity, this is the spot. I'm already planning my next visit! read more

I had no idea that there was an all you can eat sushi spot in Austin. The restaurant was full with people waiting outside large tables to accommodate many birthday parties. It's true, you can pick anything from the menu. At $35 for all you can eat (but you must eat it) It's a bargain. Our server was fantastic. He told us what items were recommended and how many things we should select. The sushi was quite delicious. In addition to sushi, we had udon noodles and soup and roasted vegetables. We too, were celebrating a birthday and ordered tempura bananas and tempura Oreos with a side of ice cream and whipped cream, all included. Large room, lots of tables and the sushi keeps on coming in a very timely manner. read more

Machi Sushi is a very welcome addition to the south of downtown sushi scene and already gaining a lot of popularity. For roughly $35 dollars you get all you can eat sushi, sashimi, nigiri, apps, hibachi, deserts etc. That value is hard to beat just based on variety and quantity. Now when it comes to all you can eat sushi in my opinion its all about trying a lot and taking an average. I tried a ton on the menu and overall a majority of it was good quality and satisfied my cravings for that specific item. Some of my highlights were the gyoza, Tokyo roll, spicy tuna sashimi, hibachi steak and hamachi chili. The hamachi chili is so so good and I ordered probably 5-6. The fish is solid and there isn't much fluff or skimping when it comes to most of the items. Personally the spicy tuna roll had panko or something mixed in and I wasn't a huge fan of that but besides this everything felt as it should. Now you aren't going to get absolutely melt in your mouth salmon belly sashimi but what do you expect its $35 all you can eat? I love this place and they have really tasty boba if you are into that as well. Ambiance inside is excellent with tons of decoration and a lot of charm. They don't take reservations so I recommend putting your name down early if it is a busy night. Service is pretty great, people are really nice and attentive, only thing I could see improved is after ordering a lot I had plates keep stacking up that never got taken away until end; started to get in the way. Overall though, excellent AYCE spot with solid food, lots of variety, great ambiance and kind/attentive staff. read more

As someone who really enjoys sushi, I can't recommend this place. The service was rough--long waits between orders, and my server was especially inattentive. I get that they were busy, but at one point, I waited ten minutes after ordering a small entrée before my waiter even checked in. When I didn't leave a tip, he seemed surprised and walked off without saying a word and immediately went to the next table, which honestly just reinforced my decision. The food was about what you'd expect from a sushi buffet. Most of it was decent--the yellowtail, rolls, and regular salmon sushi were actually pretty good. But the salmon hand roll. Absolutely awful. It was so tough and chewy that I had to rip it apart with my fingers like jerky. Definitely not something I'd want to eat again. I don't even know where to get salmon that gross. Honestly, there are way better all-you-can-eat sushi spots around Round Rock. After this experience, I won't be coming back, and I wouldn't recommend it. read more
