The sushi is decent for the price, and the service was quick, even during lunch rush. I wish I could give it a higher score, but there are a few things that stood out that made it not make the top of the list. 1) Some of the sushi rolls were were drenched in soy sauce to the point that they were falling apart. 2) The specials weren't fully explained, so when miso soup and salad showed up to our table after we already ordered miso soup and salad, we were very confused. 3) The hallway near the restroom is so cramped with food supplies and dirty dishes that it's claustrophobic and gross. Food supplies and dirty dishes should not that closely to the restroom. If you're trying to wait in line for the restroom, you better wait at your table because there is no room to stand because of the clutter. A few operational improvements in the future might change my score in the future. I welcome the opportunity to dine again. read more

If zero stars was a possibility I would give zero stars. We went there for our first family birthday dinner since the pandemic began. You see, for many years this is where we've had my brothers birthday celebration and they've always been super helpful. But not this time. We called ahead on Monday to let them know that we'd be coming in on Wednesday. They said they wouldn't hold tables and to just come early on Wednesday. We were so confused because pre-pandemic they'd always been so nice and helpful, but COVID has changed everything, so maybe it caused a change in policy there as well. No problem! We get it. So, we showed up an hour early on Wednesday to ensure there were tables available when our party arrived. The host was a young man who was incredibly rude and refused to help us ensure seating for our party. He said 10 was too many and he didn't want our business. Literally, I asked if he wanted to sell dinner to 10 people that would buy a lot and tip well and he flat out said no. During the hour we sat outside and tried to figure out where to send all the guests he sat a party of 6 and another party of 7. Thankfully a great place around the corner saved the day! They took our business at the last moment, and our server there enjoyed more than a $100 tip! We will NEVER EVER go back to Sushi Junai again. read more

I haven't been here in like 4 years and this place has gone sooo downhill since then. If you get the ayce they give you hella rice on the nigiri. Even the plate with sashimi and sauce made me want to throw up. We only ordered one round and didn't want anything else. Luckily they didn't charge us for what we didn't eat bc if they did I would've complained about the knats that were flying around us the whole meal. I even killed one with my napkin. read more

Love this place! Best fried rice in the city I might go as far to say...I've also tried the teriyaki chicken but wasn't a big fan of it.

Probably the worst sushi place I've been to. Flies everywhere, on every single plate. Food doesn't taste fresh. Some dishes had a weird and funky smell. Was genuinely concerned about getting food poisoning the whole time I was there. Would never come back. read more

The waiter sat us quickly. The food was brought out quickly. However, while eating I noticed the man making the sushi not wearing any gloves. He would pick up a raw fish through the glass which you can see while seating. I completely lost my appetite. The Shumai is definitely not homemade. Also, the desserts ice cream w/brownie is literally white ice cream w/ store bought small one piece brownie. The fried rice tasted very different and not Asian style. I would not recommend this place. read more

Pretty much the only sushi restaurant open for DINE IN during lunch. All you can eat menu was great for the value. Definitely will be coming back to this spot- clean, following COVID rules, great sushi read more

Sushi Junai - Sushi Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

Not the best of sushi places I've gone to; it's pretty clear that the fish is frozen as some of them came out dry and cracked but if you're in a pinch for sushi and don't want something from a supermarket then this place isn't terrible. I got a couple of rolls, one of which had some gross mayo sauce all over it, tempura, and sake. The tempura was not bad and had a few different kinds of pieces in it, and the sake was good. It was a bit expensive (considering the quality) but not horrendous. read more

I was invited to lunch with friends that were interested in Sushi Junai because they offer an All-U-Can-Eat sushi menu. I'm not a sushi eater but I normally am able to get tempura, fried rice, wagyu beef, ramen, etc. So, I felt like I would be ok. On this occasion I simply walked into a restaurant that wasn't ready to serve me. The server was not very helpful as I tried to navigate a rather complex menu. (There are actually TWO menus, one for the All-U-Can-Eat and another for a-la-carte) He was very interested in informing me that I could NOT share what I ordered with the others and they couldn't share with me either...they were getting the All-U-Can-Eat stuff and I was getting a-la-carte. I explained that I didn't want sushi or the All-U-Can-Eat option. I simply wanted a light lunch. So, I ordered teriyaki chicken with white rice and a side order of gyoza (the order comes with 4). I waited...and waited...and my friends got their multitude of sushi rolls. I finally asked and received the miso soup that was supposed to accompany my meal. It was pretty good. Then, I waited...and waited more...as my friends were nearly finished with the first course of several sushi rolls. I had to ask again about my meal. When it finally arrived I was confronted with a large bento box that included sushi rice, gyoza (2) drowning in soy sauce, a salad, tempura fried onion..eggplant...and shrimp, and thinly sliced grilled chicken. There is something very annoying about receiving a dish that is not described in the menu at all...or even described by the server. Sometimes it can be a nice surprise but most of the time it's offputting, kindof like the restaurant telling you what they will serve you rather than you getting to make the choice. In addition, TWO orders of gyoza (4) appeared on our table. I was ready to roll with things since I was hungry and had to wait but the last straw for me was this... (Remember, I wanted teriyaki chicken with white rice). I was served sushi rice, which isn't very good as a compliment to anything but sushi and was crunchy and cold. AND, the teriyaki chicken was wafer thin, dry, cold, and tasteless. The gyoza was gross. At this point there was nothing left to say. I didn't get what I thought I ordered. I wouldn't have ordered gyoza if I would've known it was included in the bento box...and it sucked anyway. I didn't want to eat a tempura onion ring or eggplant, and I certainly didn't want sushi rice with dried out crappy chicken. I asked the server to take it all away and I watched my friends chow down on the sushi. Blah. The sushi: My friends reported that it was really good. There were lots of options. They downed all of it and seemed to be very satisfied. However, I've been to many sushi restaurants over the years and I made a few observations. 1. The overall look of the sushi was "sloppy". 2. There was significant difference in the size of individual pieces. and 3. I noticed A LOT of rice being used. Sushi is elevated to an art form in Japan and even though I can't eat it (dietary restrictions from raw fish) I do appreciate the artistic flair that can be found in the production. This sushi didn't "look" good to me. I was charged for gyoza that I didn't eat. I paid without wanting to make more of a fuss. Moral: If you want All-U-Can-Eat sushi, this seems to be a good place but don't experiment...don't order off the regular menu. You'll wreck them. It'll suck and you'll go home hungry. Hard Pass for me. read more

I've never seen a place so stingy, cheap, and ridiculous. I got their all you can eat, but it has limitations and rules. They feel the need to remind me multiple times that if I don't eat the rice that I will be charged each piece. Then I got harassed for playing with a bit of rice and was warned not to do it again. I was accused of hiding rice in a napkin which I did not do. Apparently, the chef was watching our table like a hawk. They provide lackluster service. I would have to call on the server to get service constantly. Honestly, their food isn't bad (eel wasn't good) and maybe worth a try but the experience that comes along with it is a joke. Treat me like a paying customer and give me the benefit of the doubt instead of haggling me and nagging me about rice. Just because I'm petty I forced myself to eat most of the rice. read more

Located pretty close to the UT campus, its a popular destination for many college students. They offer one of my favorite all you can eat sushi options. You get access to their entire menu except nigiri for lunch, and their entire menu for dinner. Most of their rolls are good, however, expect to eat alot of California rolls with upgrades added to them. My favorite part of the menu is their appetizers. They're usually not too big and let you try them all each time. The agedashi tofu is my absolute favorite. However, as this is close to campus, expect it to sometimes be very busy and the service can sometimes be a bit lacking. However, it is overall a very good deal and always a great meal. read more

My girlfriend ate here recently. This place is a scam. The happy hour $15 sushi sampler doesn't specify that the "sushi" is actually nigiri. When asked, the server and manager about it, they were condescending about how people familiar with sushi would know that their sushi sampler was nigiri. No, it isn't. Nigiri is a TYPE of sushi and although the Japanese commonly associate nigiri as sushi in normal conversation, nigiri does not automatically mean sushi. The sushi sampler cost 15 bucks (DURING HAPPY HOUR?!) and there were 5 nigiri. That makes the nigiri 3 dollars per piece. This is a misleading business that would cause people who know their sushi to have a very disappointing experience. read more

I was introduced to Sushi Junai a few years back. The staff is always personable and attentive and the all-you-can-eat lunch is $21.99 and you get 60-minutes, dinner is $29.99 and you get 90-minutes. I've never run out of time as I fill up pretty fast-but always get my money's worth. Over the past few years, I've introduced a number of friends who always approve. I recently introduced my girlfriend to Sushi Junai who is incredibly hard to please and much to my surprise, she actually loved it! I've only had one experience that was undesirable. I dined there on a Monday or Tuesday night which would usually be rather slow; the place was packed and there were only 2 people taking orders. The service was slower than usual but the servers worked hard. read more

This place is killer and if I could give 10 stars, I would. Not only is the food impeccably prepared, but the ambiance and service will make you feel as though you are not in cowboy country. This place is a well kept secret and I highly recommend it. The staff were so kind and generous. They had music playing at the perfect volume and no matter where you sit, it feels as though the restaurant is yours. read more

WARNING! HAIR FOUND IN FOOD!!! This restaurant is so dirty and the staff follow NO food/health sanitation guidelines! I ordered a spicy salmon roll and after eating 2 pieces, I realized a long BLACK HAIR was present on top of my sushi roll. Horrified I spit out my food into a napkin and called for the server. I also noticed that NONE of the sushi "chefs" were wearing appropriate hats or hair coverings. That is why I am NEVER eating here again. My husband also used the restroom here and said it was disgusting. It is an all around UNCLEANLY, dingy spot! Do not eat here unless you want hair in your food or to become sick read more

This place is the real deal when it comes to sushi. They have quality ingredients, and the rolls are very tasty; so many unique options for every type of palate. Plus, the names of the rolls are a story in itself. My favorites are the "Alaska" roll and the "Kiss my Ass" roll. We have done the $30 all-you-can-eat each time we've come here, but beware, if you don't clean your plate, they will tag on ala carte prices. read more

Sushi Junai - Sushi Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

A tldr to start because this is a long review: To go service is terrible, if something is wrong with your order or the service provided, expect a lot of resistance from management; who may have to first drive to the restaurant to argue that you are wrong. My girlfriend and I placed a to go order with high expectations due to the great reviews here on google. The order was placed and made promptly, after picking up the items and driving close to 30 minutes to get home (traffic slow downs due to construction). We open our order to find our sushi rolls unceremoniously tossed into their to go containers. We couldn't tell what was what and it appeared to be missing a roll (four rolls, three containers). Over the next 30 minutes we attempted to call the restaurant 15 times, no one ever picked up. At this point our food was cold and I had no other option but to drive back out to the restaurant. Upon arrival, the waitress heard my issue and called her manager, who for whatever reason was not at work on the busiest night of the week, leaving the restaurant without any type of on duty management available. After speaking to her manager she informed me that the order was all there and the manager would not give us a refund. At this point I pointed out to her how unceremoniously the food was packaged and how it was almost impossible to tell the difference between the packaged rolls. I also explained that this whole trip could have been avoided if they had answered their phone. She said the phone never rang and I showed her my call log. She apologized and understood my concern and need of a refund for the order. At this point she called her manager again and he said he would drive to the restaurant and speak to me himself. At this point you've got to see how outrageous this all is. I mean, the whole issue with the order could have been solved by a two minute phone call, but instead here I was waiting another 10 minutes for the manager to come and try to convince me he could not give me a refund. He did try, explaining the whole order was intact there and therefore they did not owe me anything. I told him yes, that would have been true if they had answered their phone one time over the 30 minutes and 15 times we attempted to contact them in the first place. At this point the return wasn't about the order, it was about the service or the lack of. Eventually, he conceded and threw the whole meal into the trash and processed the return. On my way out I made sure to apologize to the server as none of this was her fault. She was just at the whim of a very unprofessional manager. I left her a cash tip as her and her crew still did what they could to provide the service they were trained to. The food going out to the tables was prepared with care and looked great. It's unfortunate that they do not show the same care towards their customers who order to go (at least in my case). Two minutes to fix the issue by answering their phone. An hour and a half to wait for a manager to come to the store to argue with me before finally issuing the return. Show me one manager who would not be caught in awe of the ridiculous nature of this after reading this review. If you made it this far I appreciate you! Haha. read more

Sushi Junai - To go presentation - Sushi Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

BEST SUSHI IN AUSTIN!!! Hands down my favorite sushi spot in all of Austin, TX. I've come here in average about once a month for 2 years, food is always great, service is always great! They always take care of me and my party. I recommend it to everyone I know! *just want to point out that a restaurant can't be 100% excellent ALL the time, and I hate it when people review a place because of one experience they had. You don't know if your server has had a family member die or if they're dealing with a mental illness such as depression or addiction (these are just examples), my point is, for your review to have any substantial value and actually mean anything you have to KNOW the restaurant, you can't just write a yelp review on a whim. I can definitely say that I've come to sushi Junai dozens and dozens of times again and again. They are a good establishment, and I will continue to keep supporting them as long as they are open. read more

Our original plan was to go to another Sushi restaurant nearby. On our way to that other restaurant, we passed this one, so we came here instead. Upon walking in (on a Thursday evening), it was quite busy! A lot of the tables were full, and business seems to be thriving here. I didn't see this until after we were seated, but when you walk in, there's an electronic check-in tablet near the door, assuming this is where you'd add your name and party size to the wait list. Regardless, we were lucky to be seated within a few minutes after arrival. The waitress was very nice and friendly. We didn't order the All-You-can-Eat for $30 (which has a 90 min limit), but perhaps we'll opt for this next time when we're much hungrier. We ordered a couple of hand rolls, sushi rolls, Chirashi bowl, Gyoza, Sake and Sapporo. Everything we ordered was very, very good! At the end of our dinner, our waitress gave us a complimentary ice cream for the extra long wait for the food! Overall, I had a very good experience...food was good and price is affordable! read more

Best sushi place in town! Love everything we ordered. The place is a little small and due to social distancing, there was quite a bit of a wait, which is understandable. But it was definitely worth the wait! The server is awesome and food is spectacular! We will definitely go back! read more

Hole in the wall sushi joints are always the best and this place didn't disappoint. They have all you can eat although I chose just to order ala cart. I ordered the garlic albacore which is a must order. The garlic sauce is amazing and I used it for the other saba sushi that I also ordered. The Junai special is also really good. They have lots of great specialty rolls which I wanted to try. Next time I'm going there hungry and with more people so I can try more and eat AYCE. They have street parking but also there's a paid parking lot next door. read more

Omg all the years I've lived in the heart of austintexas and I cannot believe I've never eaten here before. This is now my favorite sushi joint! Alex, our chef, was most welcoming along with all the staff and chefs. We sat in front of the bar and saw first hand, the passion and felt the warming atmosphere hug us the entire time. What a lovely, spa-like feel. It's as if I was on a retreat and finished a yoga session and enjoyed the after meal. Thank you! We will return! Oh and the darling host ran after me in the street because I left my credit card behind. What a gem! read more

Good deal for sushi buffet. They'll cook your choices and if you ate less than you ordered more, you'll have to pay the individual price for each dish. Eat wisely. read more

I have been to Sushi Junai around 12 times now, and every time they have impressed me by their impeccable quality of sushi for the AYCE menu and their service. I especially enjoy the TNT roll, Red Dragon, Final Destination roll, and their sweet salmon nigiri. It is a very small place that doesn't take reservations so definitely be prepared for a wait time but it's worth it! read more

Sushi Junai 1 is an all time favorite for good quality sushi rolls. They have lunch specials and all you can eat specials which allow you to eat sushi without feeling the need to break the bank. Can't go wrong here. read more

They shut down 40 minutes earlier than their closing time, despite having a steady flow of customers.

This spot used to be a regular favorite of mine whenever I craved half decent sushi with my friends. It's been well over a year since I last came here but I could tell the quality of the sushi decreased dramatically. At sushi restaurants, I usually determine the quality of the food by ordering nigiri sushi. What came out was a sad excuse for sushi. The size of the nigiri was half the size of a regular sushi. The ratio of rice to fish was almost 4:1. The rice tasted like 2 day old left over from Panda Express. The fish was either unfresh, cut poorly, or a combination of both. The temperature of the rice was cold and the temperature of the fish was unpleasantly warm. After one round of nigiri, I was so disappointed so I prayed that the rolls were better. Spoiler alert, they were not better. I was surprised that it could actually be worse. I ordered three different rolls, and all three were smothered in a spicy sauce that overwhelmed the taste of whatever other ingredient was there. Sushi is supposed to be a delicate dish that brings out the flavor of the fish, not be an assault on the taste buds. I felt disgusted. My date started crying because of the food. read more

All you can eat sushi lunch for $19.99 and dinner for $26.95 what?! I was concerned of the quality of fish at this price point but Sushi Junai did not disappoint. The restaurant served quality fish and we received decent service. The atmosphere is that of an inviting Izakaya encouraging guests to leisurely order, eat and drink for hours. The all you can eat menu is well rounded consisting of Korean dishes, Izakaya style tapas, simple nigiri, creative specialty rolls, traditional rolls and choice of dessert. If you plan to order more than a few menu items per person this is the way to go. If you favor sashimi in its rawest form you may opt for the ala cart menu vs the AYCE. With that said there were several sashimi style appetizers on the all you can eat menu topped with delicious sauces. Some of the items we tried: Screaming "O" - The menu described the dish as seared tuna. The fresh slices of tuna were served cold and not seared which I found to be a fortunate oops. Tuna Poki - fresh chunks of tuna mixed in a seaweed salad and topped with smelt eggs. Baked Green Mussels - This is a small dish of two baked mussels on a bed of crab salad served in its shell. Ex-Girlfriend roll - A spicy tuna roll with cucumber, shrimp tempura topped with their addictive yum yum crunch and ponzu sauce. I usually skip the tempura but this roll is worth indulging/. Albacore nigiri & yellowtail nigiri - I have had fresher nigiri but it was OK. Vanilla Parfait - This was a simple basic vanilla ice cream topped with whipped cream. If you are content being seduced by your food on taste alone you will like this place. In other words presentation was overall lacking. Their AYCE options is an excellent value if you have the appetite and they are currently BYOB. read more

After a morning of kayaking and walking around, my friends and I could only think of getting to this place and feasting. AYCE sushi that's made to order.. YASS. Actually AYCE anything on the menu that's made to order! We came at 3 for two reasons, 1) we wanted the dinner AYCE as it includes nigiri and 2) we were trying to beat the dinner rush. The latter was a bit of fail as it was still pretty packed when we arrived but I guess that's a good sign. Plus it was the week before school started. The food was pretty good considering it's AYCE. It came out pretty slow which was frustrating because we were starving but understandable because they were busy. We just ended up ordering an overload each time. My only real complaint was that the mango mochi ice cream I got was really hard and not good at all. But when I say anything on the menu is fair game, I mean anything: appetizers/salads, rolls, nigiri, entrees, and desserts. It was awesome and I can't wait to come back! Tips: It's BYOB. If you don't finish your food, they will charge you for the leftovers (which is pretty standard of specialty buffets). Come during dinner and order lots of nigiri to get the best bang for your buck ($27). COME HUNGRY. read more

When my wife told me about an all you can eat sushi restaurant serving quality sushi and nigiri - in Austin - at an extremely reasonable price, my initial reaction was disbelief. Just the idea of this magical shangri la was both exhilarating and dubious at the same time. I thought surely the fish would be bottom of the barrel or that there was some hidden fine print in the terms. So I consulted Yelp and lo and behold, her story checked out - they passed the first test. But still in the back of my mind, I told myself to take it slow. This still sounded too good to be true, I mean this potentially was the realization of my wildest and most satisfying dreams; culinarily speaking of course. Since my wife work's near the restaurant, she checked it out for lunch first with her co-workers. Her debriefing was to my liking and with her ok, I decided it was time to get serious. We went there on a Friday right after work and were able to snag the last open table. As advertised, everything on the menu from apps, to hot entrees, to sushi, to nigiri, to dessert was included in the fixed price (under $30). Over the course of the glorious meal, my wife and I split a total of 4 rolls, and 32 pieces of nigiri - the split being roughly 75/25 given her smaller appetite. There was also some miso soup and appetizer thrown in there as well as some plum ice cream for desert. Next time, I'll have to make sure I haven't eaten such a big lunch prior to the meal. Since I believe there were only 2 sushi chefs at the time, it did take time for the plates to come out. But I consider that a small price to pay for a seat at any sushi glutton's promise land. read more

NOT WORTH IT. 1. mediocre food. go to kura for the average of the same price and better sushi. DO NOT spend 30 a head here. 2. Their kitchen close whenever.... We got there 1 hr before closing and still got jib. Let's talk about the food. Order most of their nigiri. Fish was not the freshest and wasn't cut right. Some pieces was bearly together. Their sushi rice wasn't season right and was shaped wrong. It was more like sushi imposter. We were hungry so whatever. Katsudon was the frozen meat patty that was half heartedly cooked and tossed on a plate. I think they were already closing up the kitchen at 9pm since this was the first thing that came out. Regarding service: I went in yesterday night for AYCE sushi with my bf. walked through the door at 905pm. Multiple sign was posted that their kitchen will be close at 930pm which is totally understandable since they're close at 10pm. got seated and was notified that we can only order ONCE for ayce. Not a problem.... but here's what happen. They didn't put in part of our order and proceed to close the kitchen. We were mid meal and notified them something was missing as soon as they laid down the last plate at 915. We heard someone in the back yelled KITCHEN IS CLOSED. Then to ratified the situation they offered us ice cream that's included in the AYCE... Well obviously we weren't happy about that. Then they offered 5% off the whole meal (29.99/person x2. let say 60. 5% is 3$). This 5 percent off was literally negotiated IN FRONT of us between the chef and our waiter.... and I mean... he had to really ask for that discount. We left mid meal after we paid the full price and vow to never be back. If you wanted to close early... then CLOSE UP. Don't tell me that I can order once and close your kitchen by 915pm. I left hungry... I could have taken my business some where else. read more

Have been on an endless quest for good sushi in Austin and have found less options that I expected after almost 3 years. But am definitely adding this place to the list! We did not get the all-you-can-eat sushi because we did not prepare for that beforehand, but now I need to come back and try it! The food was super fresh - we got all kinds of assorted rolls and nigiri and everything came out super quick. They used giant plates for the smallest amount of food which was a bit silly and wasteful, but other than that have no complaints. A salad, a (small) roll, and 2 pieces of nigiri were around $18 total - very reasonably priced. Looking forward to coming back soon! read more

All you can eat sushi for $25 at lunchtime within walking distance of campus? I'm sold. During lunchtime, you can get unlimited of everything on the menu except nigiri. Certain food items are also limited to one per person as well. Although this place is AYCE, the quality of the sushi here is still quite good. However, if you're looking for a traditional sushi meal, this may not be the place for you because the focus during lunchtime is the Americanized sushi rolls. Here are some tips to maximize on your experience here. - For appetizers, make sure you get a serving of Screaming-O and White-O for each person. This is basically the only sashimi you'll be getting and you can only get one serving per person. - Other solid appetizer choices are tuna/salmon poke, agedashi tofu, and shrimp tempura - For rolls, the best non-rice rolls are the Cucumber Passion and the Strip Salmon. You get more raw fish and don't get full on rice with these rolls - Other good rolls are the Final Destination, Red Dragon, and Salmon Lover - Looking at the menu prices, you definitely get your money's worth if you order 2-3 appetizers and get 1-2 rolls. - Round off the meal with some mochi (only one per person) and green tea ice cream Beware, most of the rolls are drenched in different sauces and everything kind of starts to taste the same after a while. This restaurant can get really busy at peak hours, so plan out a HUGE first order. Nevertheless, if you have a big appetite, or even a normal appetite, you will definitely get your money's worth at Sushi Junai. read more

Alright, I hate on this place so much because of the crappy service, but I've already been here like 4 times. I don't even have a right to hate on it anymore. Cons: 1) Slow service and I've only encountered one nice server 2) Too much garlic on most of the rolls and in all their sauces 3) The noodles are meh 4) Only one mochi per person for AYCE desert Pros: 1) Collar. Dat collar. 2) All you can eat is so worth 3) The white O is delicious 4) Fish is pretty good and pretty fresh for an All You Can Eat place in Austin 5) BYOB - though I haven't used it yet. There are some gems on the menu that make me want to come back just to eat them, like the collar. And the AYCE is not bad at all. So if you're willing to wait a couple of hours, eat a couple of hours, then coma a couple more hours, then by all means come check it out. read more

Sushi Junai is the only place I know of in Austin that offers all you can eat sushi in Austin. As soon as you enter the doors, the sushi chefs enthusiastically greet you, and make you feel welcome. The ambiance in the restaurant is very warm and pleasant. I have tried both the lunch and dinner all you can eat specials. The main difference in the two is that the dinner special offers nigiri in addition to the sushi rolls. I typically begin the special by ordering a variety of appetizers. I really enjoy the seafood dynamite because it is always fresh and bursting with flavor. As for the rolls, I really enjoy the spider roll and the bulgogi roll. The spider roll comes with crispy soft shell crab that tastes amazing. The bugogi roll comes with a large portion of bulgogi on top of a california roll. However, if you have the appetite, you can probably try to order most of the rolls and see which ones you enjoy the most. The service here is pretty lackluster as they have large influxes of all you can eat orders that slow everything down. It is in your best interest to order a large amount of rolls at once, so that you avoid endless waits. Overall, Sushi Junai offers a great deal if you have the appetite for endless amounts of rolls and fish. Every time I come here, I always leave satisfied and hungry for another trip. read more

Came here with a party of 8 (including myself) and had a blast! There is definitely limited seating and they do not take reservations, so make sure you come early, or expect a wait! Your party has to either all do the all-you-can-eat or all do regular menu. No exceptions. This review is based off of the all-you can-eat Food: 3.5 so many to choose from! You can even eat appetizers because it's included! The rolls are always made fresh because they usually have so many people. Quality is not the best, but it's still pretty good. Service: 4 Boy, these servers are literally running around everywhere. Of course it takes them a while to get to you, and you might have to occasionally flag them down, but they do a relatively good job of keeping your food coming and taking away empty plates! Pretty nice, but definitely strict with the rules. Would be back! read more

Don't judge by the exterior. Great food and great value. Where else could you get "all you can eat sushi" for $ and it be so well prepared.

Omg! I fell in love! We sat at the bar and ordered all you can eat sushi (lunch time). There wasn't ONE thing I didn't like. The sushi chefs were GREAT! Based off what I was ordering he got a feel for it and just surprised me, talk about great service! Sushi was super fresh. Sashimi was just right. They have some wonderful options if you're trying to stay away from rice too. I will DEFINITELY be back. read more

Sushi Junai - Sushi Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

See all

I really wish AYCE sushi places are more common, because they are AMAZING. With the exception of nigiri, the $20 lunch price gets you unlimited access to the rest of the menu. For appetizers, the Salmon Collar is definitely my favorite. The Tuna and Salmon Poki gives you a good amount of raw fish, though it may be a little spicy for some people. The Screaming and White O are excellent as well. As for rolls, I would recommend the Cucumber Passion because it's light, doesn't have a bunch of rice to fill you up, and has lots of fish. The Junai Special is a good choice for the big portion of spicy tuna. However, I feel many of the rolls we got were completely drenched in sauce (Final Destination, Ex Girlfriend, Fat Ass). I feel like the highlight of my experience at Sushi Junai were the appetizers instead of the rolls, which is why this place got 4 stars instead of 5. However, it has EXCELLENT SERVICE. There is always someone checking up on us every 15 minutes to ask if we wanted to order more and the food came pretty fast (considering how packed the restaurant was). read more
