Well, it's time for a Soto update. This makes number three if you are keeping score. Soto is a…read moreperfect place for you to celebrate a special occasion, date night, or let's go have some 5-star sushi. Soto consistently delivers beyond fresh sushi and straight from Japan specialties. Want to mix some meat with your sushi? Then go for their imported Wagyu beef. It will melt in your mouth. The prices are certainly not on the "all you can eat" sushi restaurant scale, but you are paying premium for premium. On this visit, we arrived during their happy hour. Do check out their HH menu; it is more than generous. I'm not going to bore you with our selections, but the sushi is so tender and fresh that you are insulting the chef and the fish by adding soy sauce and wasabi! One highlight was the Spicy Tuna Katsu Maki; this entrée is wrapped in a seaweed cone with asparagus, avocado, wasabi mayo, and eel sauce. Another was Uni from their imported from Japan menu. My oh my, it was so fresh and creamy! If you do not want to break the bank, their HH and lunch specials will do you right. Do make reservations if you wish to sit at the sushi bar. Speaking of bars, they have a full bar and their martinis are perfectly made. You can expect 5-star service at this 5-star restaurant. Who would have thunk that one of the best sushi restaurants (IMHO) in Austin would be in the CP and located in a strip mall next to the Dollar Tree store!

I actually stumbled across this restaurant while looking for a completely different place that…read morewasn't even sushi. I'm glad I did because it turned out to be a great surprise! When I walked in, I was prepared to order a couple of sushi rolls, but I was immediately greeted by an amazing server who explained how everything worked. He let me know this wasn't the typical all-you-can-eat experience and explained that, during lunch, anything on the menu that wasn't highlighted in red was included. He made the whole process easy to understand and was incredibly attentive throughout my meal. Every time I marked something else I wanted to try on the order sheet, it was promptly picked up and brought to my table. Now, let's talk about the food. The absolute standout was the Garlic Tuna Nigiri. You HAVE to try it. The sauce was unbelievable! So flavorful that my mouth is watering just thinking about it. On a scale of 1 to 10, it's honestly a 20 out of 10. The tuna roll was fresh and tasty. It wasn't anything particularly unique, but it was well made. The shrimp tempura appetizer was crispy, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the dipping sauce. The only item I probably wouldn't order again was the Red Dragon Roll. I think if you enjoy cooked sushi, you'll probably like it, but it just wasn't for me. Since it's all-you-can-eat, I wanted to order responsibly and make sure I finished everything I requested, so I powered through it rather than letting it go to waste. The Rainbow Roll was delicious, and the Spicy Tuna Roll was another favorite that I'd happily order again. Overall, I'd give the experience a 10/10. The food quality, especially for an all-you-can-eat sushi restaurant, was a solid 8/10, with the obvious exception of the Garlic Tuna Nigiri, which deserves its own category. I can already see myself coming back very soon! I'm just hoping they never decide to put that Garlic Tuna Nigiri in red lettering, because I'd probably order plate after plate of it!

Nowhere else, and I meant NOWHERE, in Austin gives you the balance of top-tier, premium quality sushi, the ridiculous number of choices on the menu, and amazing level of customer service like Sushi Junai 2 does. Their staff all know me by name and my family, because of how frequently we have been over the last 4 years (we are greeted with hugs and smiles everytime)! Anytime I have sushi anywhere else, even the fancier expensive places, I am usual disappointed in the quality or variety, and I instantly wish that I had just gone to Sushi Junai 2 instead! Nowhere else will you get the quality and variety for the price like Sushi Junai 2. If you haven't been, you are missing out!!!

We were seated right away, and our server took our drink order promptly while we decided on our meal choices. We got seaweed salad and tempura asparagus to share as a starter. I very rarely order tempura, and now I'm wondering why. It was delicious. For our mains, we each ordered a role and a selection of nigiri. The roles are very generously sized, though not unwieldy to eat, and they have a good selection of classic and original options. Service throughout our meal was prompt, but not pushy. The price is good for sushi. I'll be back.

Keep in mind that locals know and love this place, so Friday-Sunday nights will need a reservation. Lunch is much more tame. I personally like the fast but friendly bustle of a popular eatery, and they are popular for a reason. If you aren't tempted by the offerings on their menu, they do rotating chef specials in sashimi or nigiri style. Last night my trio did both and were treated to absolutely decadent and culinarily exquisite combinations of flavor. Even on such a packed night, our waitress was still welcoming, helpful, and engaging, ready to offer recommendations and going over each course in detail. If you love sushi, you will love this place.

The interior is so cute and cozy, and you self-serve everything for your hot pot. The sushi was typical buffet sushi - not the best but not terrible, either. I think the dinner options are better for sushi. The hot pot was solid and what you would expect, and they have other hot foods and apps as well. Overall it was a great experience and I would definitely revisit! QUICK FACTS: - Parking? Yes, it's in a large shopping center with plenty of parking! - Reservations? No, you can just walk in. - Sushi is an add-on and costs extra at both lunch and dinner, and the entire table must participate.

The lunch price is very reasonable, and we opted to add on the sushi component for $5 extra for $30/person, which is very fair in the Austin market for hot pot and sushi! The hot pot broths are stellar, I went with the Tom Yum and husband went with the veggie Mushroom broth, both were very tasty and then we went to town with the assortment of ingredients, veggies carbs and proteins all within our reach. I even noticed the lovely little section of hot ready foods for the kiddos, we did not bring our little one but he would've been pleased with fried rice, nuggets and French fries, egg rolls and onion rings as an assortment of noms as he isn't into soup or seafood lol. The ambiance inside EJ's absolutely beautiful, the walls, curtains and decor are all oriental nods and right now they are doing a fun promotion for Mid-Autumn festival as well where you can play a fun game for a portion of a discount off your bill. Finally, our service at EJ's was nothing less than amazing. We walked in and were warmly greeted, seated and our server (I forgot his name, doh!) but he was very friendly to walk us through the menu, patient as we looked our options over and attentive in checking if/when we wanted to order more rolls (we didn't - I had too much hot pot lol) but he was so attentive to us and to his other tables, and overhearing him speak to other tables in Chinese was also lovely to see as he was able to take care of orders both in English and Chinese. I have nothing but the best praises for EJ's and our first visit will not be our last. I'm so thrilled they are close to our home, and look forward to many more welcoming meals with family and friends when we are all looking forward to a clean, quality and delicious meal for a variety of pallets!
