Sushi moto is a small but super vibey sushi restaurant with cool decorations, not too expensive food, and attentive service! Plus, the fish tastes pretty fresh! I can see this being a casual and intimate date spot, without venturing into too fancy of a dinner. We got the Fire dragon roll - we mostly ordered this for the spectacle because we saw on the menu that it would be on fire. And it was so cool! It's completely wrapped in foil while on fire, which isn't as cool, but it was still cool regardless. But eating it, this was our favorite that we tried. The eel is so soft, it just melts in your mouth. And the fire in the foil makes the roll so warm and creamy. Which I know isn't something you really want when you think sushi, but it was so good. The rollercoaster roll - I think the taste of this roll wasn't necessarily anything special. It was good and it had a little spicy kick. But what set it apart was the tempura inside gave it some crunchy bits that were fun to eat. Yellowtail tornado roll - I really liked the yellowtail in this roll! But I'm not the biggest fan of jalapeño, so this one was just okay for me. Lemon salmon roll - this roll was really light and refreshing! Probably my second favorite of the night. But the citrus flavor was pretty strong, since it had yuzu sauce and sliced lemon on top. I feel like I would have liked it more if it was just the yuzu without the lemon. read more

Little sushi spot in the heart of Cedar Park. Pretty bland strip mall location, but the restaurant is well decorated and cozy. I was one of two occupied tables in the restaurant but service was somehow still slower than I'd have preferred. That said, once I did get their attention they were very friendly. The sushi was of reasonably good quality - not great but not bad. I ordered the salmon roll and the fire dragon roll. The latter was torched and the presented beautifully (on fire). Solid 4/5 star experience. read more

This is a good place for flying solo or casual dates. It's located in a tucked away shopping center. The dining is small and intimate and traditional. When I arrived I was the only customer there and no one was behind the sushi bar so it was a little off putting almost like it wasn't even open but soon a nice woman greeted me. I had a spicy tuna hand roll , shaggy dog roll and a miso soup of course. All were tasty! read more

Stopped here for dinner coming home from Cedar Park. It is unassuming in a strip mall with ample parking (Yay!). Once inside it is cozy without feeling overcrowded. We had great service that quickly attended to our needs. It was great to see many regulars stop in while we were eating so we knew it had to be good. The miso soup was great. The Silver Sashimi was fresh and the fatty fish was melt in your mouth delicious. We also had the Avocado Roll, Salmon Avocado Roll, and the Spicy Tuna Roll. All were delicious and I would recommend. If in the area, this is a great spot for a sushi fix! read more

Okay, why has nobody told me to go check out Sushi Moto is beyond me. This place is outstanding from service to food. You can just tell quality matters here. We came in for lunch so that of course might affect pricing due to their specials but I highly recommend coming in for them. Great pricing and amazing portions! I got the 2 roll + miso soup special and my partner got the cali roll + chefs choice special. We also ordered some spicy garlic edamame (not pictured sorry, we went into town so fast and could not stop ). The Philly rolls were so dang good and all the sushi pieces from chefs choice were phenomenal. Top quality fish and you could taste it. The area is small and cozy. Feels very home-y and authentic. You feel right at home as soon as you walk in, to the moment you walk out. Parking is not terrible given the amount of shops in the strip mall. 5/5 and will be back again asap! read more

We have been coming for too long and i should have written a review years ago. Wife and I love this place. It's small, personable, with the freshest sushi in the area. Rachel is always providing perfect service. This family run restaurants hands down is our favorite sushi. We try one thing new everytime, but we have tried most of it by now. Our favorites are the Edamame with their sauce! The cucumber roll is so fresh! The MVP beef set on fire roll is my wife's favorite. The fries octopus was amazing. Always get a house saki at the end of a long week. This was a date night restaurant, but now we bring our 10yo who loves the salmon roll! read more

This restaurant is not child friendly as there are no kids menu. It's not ideal for a party larger than 4 people as the space is small. This is a good date night choice. The only friendly staff is the sushi chef. The other 2 staff members seemed irritated. read more

Great sushi and great service! We enjoyed our salmon avocado roll, sumo roll, oasis roll, takoyaki, and the Mochi ice cream read more

This place is a little gem! We went for the first time as a part of 4 with 3 adults and 1 child. It's a tiny little place. No alcohol. We stayed and gave the food a true chance, sampling across different parts of the menu. We loved the appetiser sashimi! The ponzu sauce was amazing, better than the normal plain kind. The plating was pretty and the cuts were really nicely done. The rolls were good too. The kiddo LOVED the katsu bowl, miso soup, and edamame...I've never seen her finish 100% of that before! Overall, we will definitely be back and recommend this for a quiet good sushi dinner. read more

I have tried their lunch twice now and it is worth it. I get the two rolls and miso soup. Their seating area is small but comfortable. It is table service. You are brought a bottle of water and a menu. Both lunch and dinner. the rolls I have ordered were spicy crab and shrimp tempura both times. They were fresh and filling. Tasted very good. Miso soup was good also. It is never busy during lunch so food is served quickly. Yes, they can do take out. Lunch price is about $15.00 I will be going back read more

I was in the area and decided to try this place and boy am I glad I did! This cute little sushi spot studio Ghibli inspired, and has some of the best sushi I've had! The decor is so beautiful and the music is great, mostly instrumental versions of the hits! I was seated immediately upon entering. I noticed that some of the chairs were made out of plastic. Particularly the chairs at the table next to me had tape on some of the legs. I was uncomfortable and nervous, sitting in such a fragile chair. I noticed the larger tables had wooden chairs so I asked, and I asked if I was able to use the wooden chair instead. They were so kind and accommodating allowing me to switch chairs, which made me so much more comfortable and able to focus on my meal. I love a place that's accessible to all! I ordered three rolls and they were all delicious! The spicy dragon roll ended up coming wrapped in foil and on fire! Not only was it tasty, it was also a beautiful show. I also ordered green tea It was earthy and warm, just how I like it! The waitress was so attentive and helpful answering all my questions, refilling my water and checking in to see if I needed anything. It was also very reasonably priced. I really like this place and plan on returning. read more

unbelievable food. fantastic service. We had a large party and they took care of us really well, even though they place was packed. I highly recommend reservations. The food is fantastic and the smoked sea trout was the highlight of the meal for me. If you can, get Alfredo to take care of you, he's great. read more

You cannot watch the chef prepare your sushi or drink any alcoholic beverages, but the experience is pleasant and quite gratifying. Service was top notch. My miso soup was a total miss (clearly from a package) but the shrimp tempura arrived hot and with just the right amount of batter and crunch. The real winner for me was the surprising Yellowtail Fiesta: yellowtail sashimi dressed with truffle oil, Ponzu sauce, scallions, and Serano slices. My dinner companions were especially delighted with their pepper tuna and sashimi plate. Neighboring tables were served sushi rolls on a flaming platter. Food presentation was artful and impactful. The congenial waitress was willing to write separate checks for us. read more

Their rolls were excellent, but I wasn't a big fan of the nigiri. For some reason, the fish just wasn't distinguishable from one another, they all tasted very similar and the toppings/taste were not remarkable. It was a good deal though for the price. I would definitely come back for their rolls though. The flavor profile of the wagyu was amazing! I love that it was initially lit on fire, creating a perfect smokey flavor. The waitress was very nice. I liked the music that was playing (spirited away theme song) in the background when we were there. read more

Piling on with another 5-star review. I agree with Michael B. that Sushi Moto is indeed a CP hidden gem. This cozy family-owned business is turning out high quality sushi. Yes, they do have rolls and some cooked entrees if you dine with folks who are not into sushi. We are into sushi and are very particular where we eat sushi having been spoiled by Chef Andy at Soto. If Sotos is the OG then Moto is a strong second. Everything from our Miso soup to our Edamame and finally our entrees were spectacular. We opted for one of their sushi samplers. I added an order of king salmon. All the fish was fresh and had some interesting toppings (a hint really) to complement each selection. I believe one was roasted garlic. We were also gifted with an order of their truffle chu-toro sashimi. The thinly sliced toro was served with just the right amount of truffle oil and was spiced perfectly with wasabi and spicy ponzu. There are some very interesting menu options like baby octopus and calamari balls that I'll be enjoying on my return visit(s). Their lunch options look pretty darn good as well. Pro tip: We like to have something sweet post sushi. Well look no farther than the other end of the strip mall and you will find another hidden gem, Ecuadorian Chocolate. read more

Such incredible service and insanely good food! Adorable quaint atmosphere as well! Seriously some of freshest best sushi I've had in a while! read more

TLDR: This is one of Cedar Park's hidden gems. Sushi Moto's got that Japanese family vibe, with fast and friendly service. The menu's extensive, with lots of rolls that cater to both an Asian and Western audience. (There's good quality uni available, as well as more American rolls that use cream cheese, for example.) Fried gyoza, tempura shrimp, and egg roll appetizers were uniformly freshly cooked and excellent all the way around. The eel roll, sphinx roll (fried roll with assorted chopped fish), sumo roll (tuna, salmon, cucumber, avocado), all very good. The smelt eggs in sushi form was perfectly crisp. Of special mention is the spicy garlic edamame. Garlicy, slightly hot, and finger-licking good, I said that the sauce was so good that I'd eat it on chicken wings. Not to be outdone, my friend announced that he'd eat his own flip-flops with this sauce on it! Definite recommend, if you're in CP and need to get your sushi fix, this is the place to do it. This place scores a 5 out of 5 on the 'CTJ Scale', as noted below. 5 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Jesus good. Would be OK passing away after finishing a plate here. 4 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Mary good. Would be OK having a nosh here with Mother Mary. 3 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Joseph good. Would be OK having a beer here with Jesus' Dad. 2 out of 5 stars: Come-to-the-Apostles good. Meh. Wouldn't have my last supper here. 1 out of 5 stars: Come-to-Nobody good. I wouldn't have my penultimate supper here, either. read more

We were wanting sushi and decided to try this place out. We had heard good things about this restaurant over the last year. The space inside is small and intimate, good for date nights. We opted for a Shy Geisha, Spicy Salmon Roll, and a Silver Sushi, which comes with 7 different nigiri pieces and a California roll. I also ordered a miso soup since it was a bit cold that evening. The miso soup was very well made, and seemed to have been made from scratch. It was one of the best miso soups I've had. The sushi and nigiri were good in the sense that the sauces and ingredients used were tasty and fresh. The biggest drawback is that the fish isn't fresh, and it made the difference between excellent sushi and mediocre sushi. I asked the server how frequently they get fresh fish, and she said 2x per week. We may have went on a night when the fish was already 3-4 days old, and it tasted like it as well. I get it that it's hard to find fresh fish in a city like Austin, but I've eaten at sushi restaurants farther inland, in Las Vegas, that have had fresher fish for about the same price as what Sushi Moto charges. I think for how expensive the sushi is at this restaurant, they should actively seek to increase their fish deliveries to 3-4 times per week. We probably won't go back. read more

Good quality fish? Check. Affordable price? Check. In AUSTIN TEXAS???? CHECK. Bonus: funny and friendly staff? Check. For value sushi, I'll give it a huge thumbs up! Definitely got my sushi fix in, especially with that rich, rich sashimi. I typically have gotten pretty wary of sushi being "good" in austin, especially if it isn't a more expensive place. But I was really happy to be able to try this place, which quite frankly, was a bit of a mess to find (the road going into the plaza was ???). Looked like it was family run, and I was really happy with the sashimi cuts! Their signature sashimi with toppings were also super yummy! Rolls were decent, didn't expect so much flavor, so they also raised the bar there! I got house sake from them, which was great to go along with the sushi, and honestly, I would put this place up there with much pricier places in Austin! The quality + value of this place in a city surrounded by land makes this a total gem. I will definitely be coming back for more sushi fixes. read more

For the sushi lunch special, helllll yeah. miso soup + 2 house rolls (8 pieces each) $15 Maybe i'm uncouth but i get philadelphia roll 2x (sorry) but they do have your other regular options: shrimp tempura, california roll, spicy tuna etc! they do have chirashu specials etc if that's more your thing! the ambience in here is cute but it's small and not usually very busy. Salmon good, tuna good. I don't know what escolar is but my sister had it and it was my least favorite for sure. read more

My husband and I have been craving sushi for quite a while; since we are not in Cedar Park often we wanted to find so high rated sushi. We came across Sushi Moto! They did not disappoint; some of the best sushi we've had in Central Texas. They greeted us immediately and sat us right next to the window. The restaurant was clean and well decorated. The Miso soup was delicious from the first sip, green tea was perfect for a weird cold Texas day. We order Sake, Hamachi, Maguro and Toro nigiri; absolutely mouth watering, we both said "mmmm" when we ate the Toro. We ordered the Sphinx roll and the Hello Moto; both were delicious. I can not sing more praises for Sushi Moto! The only reason it's missing a star is due to the steamed gyoza was soggy, I had to turn those pieces down and I had been looking forward to them. read more

This place is great. The inside is cool, food is reasonable priced, service is fast, and it's some of the best sushi I've had. Service itself was fast, but not overly friendly. Not unfriendly - just fast and efficient. I'm not a sushi expert, but I've had my fair share of sushi and the flavor of the fish here was noticeable better than most places. For instance, I've been to many places and they seem comparable to that of H-E-B sushi; however, this place was way better. I know that an odd comparison but I feel like the majority of sushi places I've been to are all about the same and are on the same level as H-E-B as far as sushi taste. But the quality and freshness of fish here is a few steps above the majority of sushi places in the Cedar Park area. And I've tried most places within a 7 mile radius from cedar park. Will most definitely be back read more

I have been here several times over the last year or so. This is hands down one of the best sushi places to go in CP/Leander. The staff and Chef are extremely nice and accommodating. It can take some time on a busy night but just be prepared for that. It's worth the wait. We have had several rolls and sashimi and have always been very pleased. There was an appetizer that my husband ordered once that was octopus based and it wasn't great. However, he said that it was more about he wasn't sure what he was getting. They do have alcoholic beverages. The cucumber rolls (BTS) is one of the best I've ever had. The MVP roll is another favorite and the presentation is always fun. The spicy edamame and shishito peppers are great apps too. It's a small and intimate space so if you have a large party, make sure you call ahead to ask if they can accommodate. When I am craving sushi this is my go to place. You can tell they take care of the patrons and want to make sure everyone is satisfied with their experience. read more

What a fantastic lunch we had in our neighborhood! I am so thrilled to have Sushi Moto in proximity and within the burbs of Cedar Park. My husband and I stopped by on a Friday for lunch and there was only one other couple who was dining in. We opted for the lunch combos which come with miso soup and delicious cuts of fresh fish. We also tried out their gyozas and takoyaki which come as 5 pieces (so hard to share sometimes when it's an odd number :p) I also did like the fact we got our own pitcher of water to self serve in refilling our water glasses! We left feeling very satisfied and pleased with Chef Jason and our service! Can't wait to return for our next tasty meal and wonderful service. read more

I came in yesterday to 'treat myself' for a nice Friday lunch* because I've earned it*! Here's the low-down: Lunch Special - the menu item comes with a choice of two select sushi roles and miso soup. I selected spicy crab and spicy tuna. The spicy tuna role was the stand-out of the two roles with the perfect combination of Sushi rice (steamed rice), nori (seaweed), and sashimi-grade tuna. The miso soup while good was a meager offering. Egg Roll- These egg rolls were a bit too greasy from me. It seemed as if the rolls were placed in the oil before the oil was hot which rendered the rolls soggy and flaccid. Spicy edamame- The aroma of garlic and salt definitely permeated throughout the entree but the edamame seasoning missed the mark a bit. The punch from the garlic was absent here. Overall: This place has great customer service and above average (4.0) sushi. Congratulations to the new kids on the block for coming to Central TX with a bang! #supportlocal read more

A first rate Japanese establishment. 90 plus percent of the items are standard. However, the execution is very good. 10 percent of the items are crazy sushi recipes invented by the chef. Truffle oil plays a role in many of them. Hot peppers play a role in others. The custom-only-available-here sushi items are absolutely positively amazing. You are here for the special treats. But the run of the mill stuff will provide solid support. Fill up on whatever normal stuff you like. But make sure you get a treat before leaving. read more
