I may be a little late in writing this review, but I've been coming here weekly for the past few months--and every visit has been exceptional. From the welcoming staff to the incredible food and inviting ambiance, everything about this restaurant stands out. I primarily eat raw fish sushi, so ingredient quality is incredibly important to me, and it truly shows here. Every dish is fresh, beautifully prepared, and consistently outstanding. Andy is one of my absolute favorites--he goes above and beyond for every guest, and his attention to detail and genuine care never go unnoticed. I honestly can't imagine going to any other sushi restaurant when we have such a perfect spot right here in our Round Rock neighborhood. Highly recommend! read more

After working out at Crunch Fitness, I stopped by Sushi Koen for a quick bite to eat. Sushi Koen was perfect for flavorful sushi. Ingredients tasted extremely fresh and were enjoyable to eat. My avocado roll was freshness with a good size portion. Also, Sushi Koehn offers a variety of options including bento boxes and hot dishes. The restaurant has clean architectural lines with an understated feel. While the restaurant is small and charming, the atmosphere is casual and relaxed. My server was super friendly and welcoming. As an added bonus, I visited during their happy hour. I did not realize it until I saw a lower amount than I was expecting. Overall, very good dining experience. Will definitely return to try more of their menu items. read more

The food is amazing, and staff is kind courteous and definitely understand the definition of teamwork. There was never an empty plate on our table for more than 2 minutes. The vibe is relaxed and definitely coming back. read more

I really liked the sushi in this place. My husband ordered the bento box and I ordered a miso soup and a Texas roll. It is a small place with 10 tables and a sushi bar, I can barely hear the music which makes it a relaxing place for me. The flavors are on point, the ingredients are very fresh, and the rolls are well done. Their miso soup is also good! The waiter was very attentive and accommodating. I will definitely come back whenever I am in this area again. read more

Absolutely love this place. Great location with accommodating parking. Big menu with lots of options. Friendly staff. Salmon flower, salmon skin roll, and crazy horse are my favs. Trying the baked halibut roll next time. Recommend! read more

Great sushi place! I love how all of the staff welcomes you to the restaurant when you enter, the service is always fast and they are very friendly! I have tried a few sushi rolls, ramen and bento box. Overall the sushi is great and so was the bento box. Very flavorful and packed with a lot of food in each roll. One one of ramens had fried shrimp that they include and the breading gets very soggy so I wouldn't recommend that ramen (I don't remember the name but it comes with breaded shrimp) or I would ask for the shrimp on the side! It is always very clean and I would recommend this as a great sushi spot in round rock! read more

Good quality sushi the ikura is really good. My mom loves her Chicken teriyaki bento. Staff are really nice. Will come back again to this place. read more

We can only speak to the takeout service here, but they always pack everything in a well-organized way. The quality for the price is also on point. We love the Alaska roll, Rainbow roll, and the sashimi plate. Everything tasted flavorful and fresh. The waitstaff are helpful, efficient, and kind. While we didn't sit in to eat, the vibe is cozy and comfortable. It's located in a convenient spot in Round Rock, and we have really enjoyed it both times. read more

Their happy hour food menu was the thing that set them apart from every other strip mall sushi place in the area. Since they dumped it, there's not much reason to go out of your way. It's fine, a bit dark inside, and the sushi is, again, fine. I was going to add one dish they do that I particularly enjoyed last time, but they don't have a website (which is *super* weird IMO) and thus I couldn't find a copy of their menu to look it up on their Facebook page. I'll be back if they restore their HH sushi, it was a good deal. read more

Roses are red...violets are blue...the food here is great and the atmosphere too!! I made reservations online to meet up with a friend and catch up. The process was very easy and they responded quickly with confirmation. This restaurant is more intimate spacing but still family friendly. The decor is also pleasant. The service was great from checkin to when we left. The staff is very attentive!! The food was delicious. The California roll here has to be my new favorite. They have different flavors for edamame so I def look forward to trying the others in the future. We opted for the normal ones and they didn't disappoint. The fried rice was full of flavor and cooked to perfection. read more

This place had excellent truffle edamame! We enjoyed the gyoza as an appetizer. Unfortunately i didn't get a picture of the main meals but that's okay. I think my overall review is 9/10 read more

Food was great and fresh! Highly recommend the Monica roll. Waiter was definitely attentive. If we come back in town would come here again for sure. read more

This is our go-to sushi spot in the greater Austin area. The mix of flavors is absolutely amazing!

Ordered takeout through toasttab and the service was prompt and food was great! Portions are pretty big and everything was packaged well. While I didn't dine in, I did appreciate the ambiance when picking up my food. The fish was fresh and food was flavorful. My 7-year old scarfed the eel rolls down in minutes and said he really enjoyed it. Both the ultimate salmon lover roll and volcano rolls were delicious, as well. I forgot to take a pic of the salmon roll before finishing it. read more

Good service. I like their rainbow rolls. I've eaten here multiple times for lunch. The miso soup is good.

I've been to plenty of sushi restaurants in my lifetime from California to Texas to Ohio to New York so try this sushi restaurant in Round Rock was a nice visit. The dining room is dark and petite with a sports TV so you can easily enjoy your night with some beer and some sake. Overall the sushi rolls are amazing 'fresh fresh fresh fresh, can I say how fresh it is? I also love how clean the sushi rice tasted, true Japanese style rice with a hint of vinegar. I was very surprised with how fresh the rice was, and the restaurant that popped up in my mind was Sushi Nini in round rock. Don't get me wrong. That restaurant is great, but it's not as good as this restaurant based on the quality of the fish, how fresh the fishes in the rice. Overall love the Rainbow and James Bond roll, it was nice texture from the firm fish. The dynamite roll was great too, hot and warm topping on top vs a cold sushi roll nice blend of warm and cold. Overall you can't go wrong with any dish the Spider roll was crispy n crunch, Big chunks of crab, the eel roll with its clean cut eel on top. Only downside is the Magma roll, I probably won't order it again, the chopped tuna tasted like tuna from a can, cheap tuna, and it was bland not much flavor and the dipping sauce it comes with, also is bland. Don't get it. Also, the beef teriyaki, I was expecting a pull apart tender flakey type of beef but to see this type, sliced thin with the charred marks, I knew it was dry n low and behold, it was dry like sandpaper. It tasted as if the beef was already pre cooked, and sat for a while. When I added the sauce that came with it, it added a little more moisture but for $20??? A salad, soup, white rice, and the beef? More like $12-14, it is not not not not not worth $20. Too be honest, it sucked. I was on such a high note blown away by the good sushi rolls and the nice snappy garlic edamame but once I had the beef, it brought me down to earth and it was not pleasant at all. Overall, great experience just avoid those 2 dishes. read more

Fr fr this is the best sushi I've ever had. It is quite expensive ($17-$25 per roll) but I can understand why. It's heckin buss buss. 10/10 would absolutely recommend if you're a sushi snob and you don't mind forking over $50 for a meal. Ambiance is cozy and romantic, perfect for a date night. Service was impeccable, servers were very friendly and attentive. Hands down best sushi spot in Round Rock. read more

On my Sunday-Funday, my partner and I headed to Sushi Koen for some sushi. Recently, I have been sent numerous text from various people regarding the 'dangers' of consuming fish. But, how can you have sushi without great fish? Fresh fish is important for sushi because it tastes better, looks better, and is safer to eat. However, most sushi restaurants and bars in the United States serve fish that has been frozen to kill parasites. This is because the only way to kill parasites in raw fish is to freeze it. Regardless of the method, there is no reason to worry because every restaurant must follow the FDA sushi guidelines to be open. These standards determine the fish preservation process to achieve safe consumption. Regarding the conservation temperature, they established a minimum of 4ºC (41ºF), and during the delivery process, both the supplier and the restaurant must guarantee that the fish is protected from contaminating agents. The sushi served here is buttery in that it melts into your mouth with each bite. The freshness of the fish and expert preparation makes the sushi dishes here hard to beat. The service provided here is prompt and friendly. read more

Once regulars now no more. Owner herself was rude then doubled down when we brought up how rude her comments were. Don't order more than 1 roll or that's when they will start letting you know you're getting too much in a rude manner. read more

I love this little spot! The food was so delicious, the wait staff were super friendly and the overall atmosphere was very inviting!

Really found the staff to be rude one of the times I went. Was a real shame because I did really enjoy their food. Hopefully they can either replace the staff or train them to be kinder to guests. read more

My wife and I absolutely love this place, still, 4 years later! We come here about once a week. We know the staff a little bit, and they know us. The Texas Roll is Amazing, but other favs of mine are the Teriyaki Chicken bento box, the spicy pork, the ramen, the Candy Roll. All are superb and the biggest problem I have when we go here is choosing which one to get. The popcorn shrimp is superb here as well, as is the Chef's Choice Sashimi. Fantastic food at good prices and great service every time. Best restaurant in Round Rock by far. read more

Incredible! What can I say? Sushi Koen exceeded my expectations. This is my BFF's favorite sushi restaurant and she has been gatekeeping it for a while because It's her hidden gem that she is hesitant for the world to find. But, she loves them so much and wants them to stay in business so she has agreed to, even encouraged me, to write this review. Now that the cat's out of the bag, run, don't walk to Sushi Koen and here's why: The service - top notch. At first I thought it was just because they knew my friend but, I noticed everyone getting treated well and tended to often. We had a lovely server who showed us the correct way to do a Sake bomb and we were seated at the bar where we could watch the chefs prepare the sushi (which was a cool experience) and they were nice and friendly as well. They chatted it up with us while preparing our rolls. The ambiance - The restaurant is fairly small, nothing too fancy or frilly...but, cute, nice and clean inside. I truly felt like we were visiting Japan and just stumbled upon a local restaurant with some banging food. I also visited the restroom and it was very clean. 10/10 The food- There were a variety of choices on the menu but, it wasn't overwhelming. I ordered the Shaggy Dog which was quite yummy. The sushi was FRESH and delicious and It wasn't overdone nor did it have too much going on. My bestie ordered the Johnny Roll because she said I HAD to try it. Trust me, this was something I would've never ordered on my own because it doesn't have rice and the rice is one of my favorite parts! But, after trying it, let me tell you, I am a BIG fan! It was so good and so unique for me. My friend also ordered sashimi which is also not typically my thing but, again, it was so fresh and it was served with house made wasabi. It was my first time trying wasabi made from scratch, and although I'm not a wasabi fan, I actually liked it. Everything was so good. We also asked the l chefs to recommend something else for me to try since it was my first time there. They asked me a few questions and then made a roll based on my answers. I loved that! Little touches like that are what takes a restaurant from good to great and what takes a person from patron to a regular. I can't wait to visit sushi Koen again! read more

For it to be sit down, I was in and out under 20 minutes. Service was so fast I was shocked how quick and attentive everything was. Very large menu with tons of sushi and noodle options. On the side of the shopping center so can see how it can be missed. Went on a Saturday mid day, 3 other tables were occupied but plenty of staff on hand. My roll was full of flavor and well crunchy. read more

For mother - daughter time i take her to get sushi. Our normal joint was not seating anyone without a reservation so we found this establishment. The location is facing north at the end of the strip mall! We went around that building 3 times and ended up calling to find the location. We did have to wait but it was a Friday at 6, we expect that! They take you phone number so you can wait in the car as they do not have room to wait inside! It did not smell like fish which is a must for us! The sushi was fresh if made in haste. The rolls were not as tight was I like some fell apart. That did not change the taste which was on point! I asked for sweet te which she said they had but that was a lie and brought me unsweetened with sugar packets. I understand wanting to upnthat tab but come on! That irritated me which is why 4 not 5 stars. Not that they didn't have something but not being truthful. All in all we will be back and I'll bring my own sweet tea. read more

ORDER Texas Roll Mountain Roll Agedashi Tofu Salmon Sushi Seaweed Salad Mountain roll was the winner for me. They have a specials board behind the chefs so be sure to check that if you dine in. Service was quick and efficient when we went and it was little busy. Had to take off stars because our Texas Roll shrimp wasn't fully cooked. We knew it wasn't cooked because it didn't have that brown texture. Asked our server about it and they simply said "no it's cooked" but didn't even bother to take a look. Normally not a big deal but for pregnant woman that could be a big deal. Overall a decent spot with fair prices. If you're in the area and craving sushi give them a chance. read more

I ate lunch there yesterday and it was just gross. I ordered the lunch katsu bento box and I was truly disappointed! The gyoza was served with chili sauce poured on top of it and my salad had NO dressing whatsoever so I asked for some and I was brought a bowl of brown liquid, not what I was expecting. I could barely stomach the California roll. It just didn't taste good but the chicken katsu was so strange it reminded me of a frozen chicken patty with sauce drizzled on it. Even the Coca Cola was partially flat I basically took $25 and threw it in the trash. read more

Dropped by recently when I was in the area and placed an order to go. I ordered the candy roll and the Texas roll. Both were delicious, but my favorite by far was the Texas roll as I loved the combination of sweet and spiciness. Customer service was friendly. Will definitely return. read more

Oh my, talk about a hidden gem! After the tedious shopping at IKEA last Saturday, we decided to try Sushi Koen. We recently moved from Houston and can't seem to find any decent sushi in San Marcos. The sushi chef was absolutely on point. His rolls were nice and tight. A definite art form. He was also very pleasant and engaging while keeping up with the constant orders coming in. The hot green tea is so good, the rolls, while pricey , were amazing and we will definitely be back, probably this weekend! read more

Sushi Koen - Delicious sushi - Japanese Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

One of the few times Yelp has let me down. I have been wanting to try this place for a long time. We were finally able to place a take out order and I was super excited because we need a new "go-to" for sushi that is close enough to home that take out doesn't change it too much. We ordered 6 rolls. 2 of them were a la cart and the other 2+2 were part of lunch combos. The rolls were microscopic. My 6 year old (eats 2 chicken nuggets and is full kind of appetite) ate 2 rolls and soup. It wasn't because he was abnormally hungry or loved the food so much. It was because the portion was way too small. Rice isn't expensive! My husband had 2 a la cart rolls that should have been enough based on their $17.50 price tag each and he said he felt like he hadn't eaten. Take a look at the iceberg lettuce salad (untouched. I promise we didn't eat any before the pic). Very disappointed. When I ordered I asked for forks and spoons because we were not going to be home and were taking this to eat at a park close by. They said sure. When we got our food there were no utensils. If I could rewind the clock and go anywhere else, I would have. read more
