We had Seafood pancake, Pork Ramen and Hoedeopbap(sashimi bibimbap). Seafood pancake was okay, but I think it could be crispier. Sashimi bibimbap was definitely lacking flavor, and the sashimi in it didn't taste fresh. It's missing masago and I think that makes a huge difference too. The pork ramen was pretty good, though. I liked the soothing broth and the egg noodle. read more

Its been awhile and my first time since they remodeled. Today I had Galbi Tang. It is very similar to what Ive eaten here in the past. I like the new design of the restaurant. The service was good but a little slow. I enjoyed my dinner and time spent with the family. read more

Odaku had always been one of my favorite spots, but after their renovations, I'm not sure if I like it the same. Don't get me wrong, it's still good, but they have less offerings now and their new noodle bar seems to be the main attraction. You can get a soup base or stir fry style with the noodle bar. The vegetables are unlimited so basically whatever you can fit into a large mixing bowl, and then the meat is weighed. I went with a group of friends to try out this new noodle bar. I opted for the pork stir fry with the odaku fire sauce and udon noodles. I loaded up on a lot of veggies, especially the mushrooms, and for the value, I think it's great because you end up getting a huge portion that's enough for a second meal. The dish overall was satisfying, but nothing mindblowing. When we went, they said they'd bring the order out to us, but we didn't get a number, or any indication as to where we were sitting so we weren't sure how they'd know where to bring our order. Turns out, it ended up being a mess with them bringing us orders that weren't ours, and some that were, and they likely confused other tables orders too. A simple numbering system would have easily taken care of it. It didn't seem so complicated as they took each person's mixing bowl full of stuff and threw them into automatic stir fry machines in the back to make one order after another. In the end, they asked 3 of the people in my party to make new orders, but those of us that got our food had pretty much already finished eating so they just asked for a refund and got food elsewhere. The idea is good and the value is great, but if they haven't figured out a new order system by now, they can run into more troubles if it's crowded. I'll come check it out again in the future. read more

This place is so delicious. I've only ordered take out but the curry katsu is BOMB 10/10, best I've ever had. Highly recommend. A bit pricey but totally worth it. read more

It's been years since we've last been to O'daku and was excited to stop by again after their renovations. We both got the Seafood + Meat Noodle stir fry. How it works is that you'll go up to the counter first, put in your order, and they will give you a tray with two bowls. The bigger bowl is for vegetables and there are no weight limits for that one. The smaller bowl is for the seafood/meats, and the menu price includes one pound. Extra charge will be applied for every 0.25 lb over. That being said, one pound of seafood/meat is more than you'd think and several times after weighing the bowl, I found that I was able to go back and fill up on more. We arrived on a Saturday night, and they were pretty busy. For the stir fry, the kitchen had three giant rotating pots, and depending on how many orders are ahead of you, you may have to wait a bit. We had to wait for our two bowls for 30 minutes; not great if you're hungry. The non-stir fry orders seemed to be served much faster. The stir fry was pretty good. The veggies were cooked through and the meats were tasty. The fish and egg whites disintegrated a bit so it was tricky to find them all. The Mala - Spicy level was pretty spicy and the Soy Sauce base was a bit heavy on the sweet/umami side. May see next time if there's a way to cut that in half. They also have complimentary soft serve and I'm 200% a fan of that. Would definitely like to come back and try their other dishes. The staff were also super friendly. read more

Came here a few times before the restaurant overhaul and I'm glad I came back. This place offers a more casual approach where you order at the counter and seat yourself. There's a self-serve noodle bar and a pretty decent menu of rolls and entrees. I wasn't too impressed with the flavor of the rolls, although I will commend them on their large size. I was a big fan of the jjangmyeon. It was saucy, creamy, balanced in flavor, and had generous pieces of meat. If I had to compare it against the handful of other places in Austin that serve it, this one is by far the best. There is also a self-serve sauce station, miso soup, kimchi, and ice cream you can help yourself to. read more

I ordered takeout from here so I can't say much about service and the ambiance of the place. The restaurant serves Korean-Japanese cuisine. I got the tonkatsu and it was huge (good to share between 2 people). The tonkatsu was crispy and I really enjoyed the sauce that came with it but besides that, it was pretty average. However, it's worth noting that my order included a well-rounded assortment of side dishes such as rice, fried egg, shredded cabbage salad, kimchi, and soup. read more

The food an service is amazing. You are able to customize your own stir fry's and soup with unlimited veggies, which is awesome for a veggie forward person like myself. They also have a free sauce and kimchi bar. Each item was server hot and fresh it was overall such a wonderful food experience! read more

After loving our dinner and lunch take-out experiences from Odaku (a family-run Korean Japanese fusion place at Parmer & Mopac) for the past year, I finally got the chance to experience dine-in this month and I am still a big fan. My special friend & I celebrated our first date night of 2025 here and everything was great! - Getting a table at 6p on Saturday night was no problem. I could *not* believe there was no wait. This just tells me that too few people know how wonderful the quality of food & service is at Odaku. - Table service was friendly, knowledgeable, prompt, and unobtrusive, exactly what I'm looking for on a date night or really any time. - Food was sooo good! Beautiful presentation, fresh ingredients, tasty, well-executed. We had sushi this night, ordering 2 huge rolls (9 pieces each!) and a chef's choice nigiri dinner (9 thick pieces). I typically stick with sashimi, as I am not a fan of overly sauced, mostly rice rolls drowning in mayo, but Odaku kept every component in balance. - Price was reasonable for the high quality of the products, especially compared to our other excellent but overbooked alternative spot across the highway. We had such a great meal and conversation over a shared bottle of junmai. Now that we know Saturday night isn't a hassle (at least at our preferred early dinner hour), we will definitely be back here for future date nights. I'm looking forward to more exploration of the Korean side of the menu, too. I also noticed that the back north section of the restaurant has several traditional floor-seated tables with cooktops for 8 or so people. This looks like a fun option for a large group who want to do Korean BBQ or hot pot. read more

This unassuming Korean/Japanese spot tucked in the corner of a plaza surprised me with how much they improved the set up and how much bang for your buck you get! I had only been once before awhile back, so I was shocked to see how much the place had changed when I walked in. The space was visibly more open and a more lively brighter atmosphere than before. They also have you order at the counter where I was informed that they have complimentary miso soup, kimchi, and soft serve ice cream! Against my better judgment, I filled myself a bit with the soup and kimchi, then filled myself even more with their kimchi pancake which came with dipping sauce and had the classic chew with slight crispy char. The miso soup was nicely salty, but the kimchi was a little bland and not sour at all, with barely any spice. I was definitely starting to feel full when my main dish arrived, the jjajangmyeon which was accompanied with yellow pickled radish and a small bowl of rice. The jjajangmyeon was a decent portion and already looked and smelled promising, not watery or small like what I typically see in Austin. When I took my first bite, it tasted different from what I'm used to, but not in a bad way! The more I ate, the more I enjoyed. It had a good amount of veggies with the classic julienned cucumbers and some pork. Despite feeling very full, I stomached the courage to walk over to their soft serve machine which offered vanilla, chocolate, and mix swirls. I opted for the vanilla and enjoyed it on one of the provided cake cones. Service was friendly throughout and made sure to bus my plates and bowls fairly quickly, and ensuring I had a to-go box for my leftover kimchi pancake. Parking is usually plentiful since it's in a plaza but can get busy with all the surrounding businesses like restaurants and boba. It's also a stone's throw away from an HEB. read more

The service is great. Very friendly and knowledgeable. You pile what you want into two metal bowls (meat, seafood and veggies) and they stir fry it for you. There's free miso soup and kimchi. Free soft serve ice cream for afterwards. The portions are generous. I'm taking at least half of mine home as is my wife. We might have finished if we had skipped the miso and kimchi. read more

Order the dack chi don here! You won't be disappointed. It comes with spicy chicken, katsu and mozzarella. The cheese blended with the spicy chicken and katsu was phenomenal! Katsu was so crispy, you can hear the crunch when you bit into it. Very good flavor profile. Also a huge portion! You can share with 2-3 people. Wish I didn't order the beef donburi, although it was good but there were so many other dishes to try. The beef donburi was definitely on the sweeter end. It reminded me of a Japanese hibachi dish. Good service, food came out fairly quick. Inside looked very cute. There were tables lower to the ground where you would have to take your shoes off to dine. You have to make reservation in advance to sit there though. read more

I think O'daku rebranded or reopened based on some recent reviews and headlines, and I actually have seen O'daku so many times while frequenting this plaza. Social media always influences me because I saw a bunch of Austin foodies come here to try their new AYCE veggie stir fry, and it was DELICIOUS. You can grab a large bowl to fill with as much veggies as you want and also a smaller bowl to fill ~8oz of meat. Then, they take your ingredients to these rotating/spinning bowls under direct heat to essentially stir fry your ingredients and noodles. My boyfriend and I both got noodles with soy sauce, and it was so good. We also got some mandu to share, and for two entrees and mandu, $40 is unbeatable. They also have a sauce bar, unlimited soup, kimchi, and ice cream. Their cucumber kimchi is SO good. Staff is so friendly, and the employee who was helping us out at the front was so nice and sweet. We are definitely coming back again! read more

First time coming after the revamp. The spot feels less intimate/traditional and more trendy. Prices seemed to go up on my favorite lunch bento box while at the same time they removed the tempura from it. They have some sort of noodle bar as their main attraction now. It looked interesting so I might try it next time. While I wasn't rushed, it didn't feel as comfortable as it had been in the past. Also the place was very empty, normally it's packed but I was the only person when I arrived for lunch and only 2 other customers came in during my meal. Service was a little cold, they also forgot a side that I asked for. read more

We had an amazing lunch experience at Odaku. This is our second visit since they changed the format a few months ago, we chose seafood and meat stir fry option. They are still doing a great job offering a wide variety of fresh vegetables, good quality seafood and meat that you can choose along with 4 types of noodles and 3 sauces. When the stir fry comes out of the kitchen, it is steamy, perfectly cooked and flavorful. You get sumptuous and healthy meal at a good price; great value. We love the new ambience, everything is clean and well organized. Well lit menu is easy to read. Great changes Odaku...congratulations! Service is extremely courteous and efficient. They are happy to explain if you have any questions. Please give it a try to this family run establishment read more

Great food and service! I had the jjajangmyeon and it shocked me with how good it was. Without question, it was the best jjajangmyeon that I've had in Austin. The noodle bar hot pot was also really good and worth it. My girlfriend got this and they are very generous with the amount of meat that you can get. All the veggies are unlimited too so you can fill up your bowl as much as you want. We got the mala soup base and it wasn't overwhelmingly spicy so we enjoyed the meal. Overall, would definitely come again for a meal and would recommend to other people as well. read more

My wife had just given birth, and obviously the first thing she wanted post birth was sushi! This place was right by the hospital so we figured we'd give it a try. Our whole family was in town, so we ordered somewhere in the ballpark of 8-10 rolls. There wasn't a single one that stood out to us as memorable. All the rolls were underwhelming and it was really disappointing since this was a meal my wife was looking forward to for 9 months. read more

theres nothing as comforting as a stone pot bibimbop and tofu soup on a cold rainy day!! you immediately feel welcomed upon walking into this charming place. the waiters were incredibly attentive and quick in their service. the portions were big for a reasonable price. i wish the bibimbop had a nice layer of crispy rice at the bottom, but it tasted great. the tofu soup was not too salty and had generous amounts of seafood. the banchan was also super yummy! definitely satisfied my cravings for a hearty, cozy meal. id love to come back and try more of the korean dishes read more

I thought the food was ok. Nothing to complain about and I would try this restaurant again but not order what I did today. I got the Samgyupsal Kimchi Samgyupsal Kimchi. I wanted something unique and authentic Korean. It was different a bit too tangy and cabbage for my liking. It wasn't bad but I would not get it again. They also sent a tiny about of rice for a massive box of food. Unagi Donburi was enjoyed by our child. He said 10/10 and he would get it again. California roll and Philadelphia roll were enjoyed by another child. Hubs got the chirashi (photo). He said it was ok but he's had better. I can't give this place 4 stars but they deserve more than 3 for overall quality experience. read more

O'daku - Kim Kimchi Pancake Bibimbap - Sushi Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

They changed up their dining experience quite a bit. Now you order at the counter and they have build your own stir fry or soup along with some of the regular plate and sushi options. They also have a side and sauce bar which doesn't include all of the sides. They give out free ice cream but they got rid of the bento boxes. While the staff were really nice the food left a bit to be desired. I'm hoping they're just needing to iron out some things but getting rid of the bento boxes was a pretty big one for me. read more

Heart broken! I've been going there for 20 years. I'm not a fan of the new setup of ordering at the counter, slightly higher price, and reduced menu. No lunch bento special, current bento no longer has tempura veggies. The all you can eat miso soup taste like a cheaper version of the previous. I do like all you can eat kimchi and ice cream. This has been my favorite lunch spot for 20 years. Thank you for the great food over the years but I don't think the new setup is for me. read more

*This review pertains to the recent changes at O'daku* So, O'daku recently re-opened, and I'm not overwhelmed by the changes. Food: The food is still fantastic, but menu has shrunk; on one hand, this is a little sad, but it was bloated, and the food quality remains 5/5. I usually get a bento box (which they still have), and a little something extra. They now offer free miso, kimchi, and ice cream with your meal. However, I would trade the free extras for full table service and the old layout. Floor Plan, Atmosphere, and Vibes: I'm unhappy with the new layout. The place was old and cozy, and I loved it. Now the floor plan is very "open", lacks decoration, and has an abrasive lit up menu over the counter. Next to the front door is an ice cream machine, which is weird for the "flow" of the room, and there are a line of high chairs with a long table just lined up to your right as you walk in, with any patrons who are eating there facing directly toward you. It now longer feels intimate, and lacks any of the warmth the place used to have. Service: The full table service is now replaced with a dine in casual (think Panera), where you order at a counter and they bring your meal to you; it is also partially self serve, where you get your own soup, kimchi, sides sauces, and ice cream. This is *fine*, but the place used to be a full service restaurant, and I walked in expecting that. My advice: Make the place cozy again (somehow), and get rid of that god awful lit up menu. Go back to full table service. If the cost of food contributed to the re-launch (which I understand considering raw fish is served), keep the condensed menu; the food is great, and I don't want this lost in the review, but I miss how the old O'daku made me feel. (copy pasted from my google review) read more

I was craving some sushi and was on my way to get some at a different place, but then this one caught my eye and it was closer to my house so i decided to give it a try. Wow what a HUGE amount of food on the bento box. I definitely could have gotten 2 or 3 meals out of it. I got the spicy pork, and it came with soup, some sashimi, a special roll and some tempura vegetables. Absolutely delicious! read more

Visited here on a weekend day for a late lunch and I wasn't disappointed. We were seated quickly after we entered and our waitress was very nice. I wasn't aware that we would be receiving so many food items with our order, so this was definitely a surprise for me that I enjoyed. The restaurant is clean and has a nice vibe. My only downside is that parking can get a little crazy being it's in a shared space with multiple businesses. read more

O'daku sushi is a solid place for Korean comfort food in Austin. I recommend getting the dack chi don ($35.95) - it is a mix of chicken and katsu in cheese and vegetables. It is a quite a large portion so I think good value for the price. The katsu is crispy and pairs well with the cheese. I also enjoy the variety of banchan that is provided. They have private seating in the back for large groups, must take off shoes. There is shared parking in the lot since it is located in a plaza. read more

This place was a spontaneous dinner spot that my friend and I ended up overall enjoying! There are not many Korean spots in town, so this was a gem. There was no wait on a weeknight drop-in, and overall the food was pretty good and I will definitely be revisiting. Highly recommend eating family style to enjoy a variety of dishes. Food ratings: - Korean short ribs (5/5): The best dish we ordered and executed really well. Perfectly flavored, incredibly tender, and so good. Pretty good price point, too! - Soba noodles (4/5): These were really good! Had lots of flavor and veggies. - Sushi roll (2.5/5): We must have not read the ingredients closely enough because this had honey all over it and it really threw off and overwhelmed the flavor of the whole roll. We didn't even finish it, and that's rare. I would not order this roll again, but would definitely try a different one! read more

Odaku came at the recommendation of a dear Korean friend as one of her favorite Korean restaurants in town and I think she's right! The restaurant itself has a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. Our server was friendly and fast. The menu has a great split of Korean and Japanese dishes in case you're craving both. The banchan (Korean side dishes) had a good variety and were each tasty. I would highly recommend any of the dolsot bibimbop dishes - easy on the eyes and the stomach. Our curry was delicious and chicken katsu was crispy but admittedly a little dry. Lastly, the unagi donburi was simple but tasty. We will definitely be back to try more on the menu! read more
