Thankfully the ratings were calling me in because I have been taking my son to the coding place next door for 3 years now and haven't ever even been curious about a strip mall sushi place. It's SO clean. The decor is crisp, floral, calm, and inviting. Our server was FANTASTIC! She is a Mom of grown boys and was really excited to welcome us for a special graduate lunch that day. We ate miso soup, salads, sashimi, and a few specialty rolls. I'll say my belly tuna roll lacked something- maybe needed cucumber or something? But I didn't even bat a lash because everything else was top notch. She even brought us over a yummy celebration treat and we all sang Happy Graduation Day together to absolutely mortify my son. Will will be regulars now! To THE MOOoooOooOoON! read more

SUSHI To The MOON - Celebration treat! - Japanese Near Me - Leander, Texas

The quick summary for this place is it's ok, maybe we got the B staff tonight. Lets start with the Ambiance and the metal rock music or should I say a really distasteful mix of music, one minute your normal elevator blend and the next hard core metal... Add in a louder than normal volume and I almost got up to leave, maybe some of us aren't deaf, no insult to the deaf. Next the food, not what I expected, the Miso soup was 7 out of 10, but the bento itself Meh, and I order the yum yum fried rice, again not what I expected that was more a sushi dish or better off as one and not as fried rice. The Cali roll, meh and the eel, I really said over rice, not on a plate. We also had to ask for wasabi, I mean "AS IF" my copart had a bento with fish and a cali roll and still zero wasabi, we had to ask for it, I mean even HEB give you some. Somehow how dinner came to 84.xx I was thinking wow, maybe if the tummy has happy, but I think next time I spend less and go to Honey Pig BBQ for some K food instead. Move along and if you do visit this place, bring headsets or ear plugs, I even took out my iphone and the d meter was at 97 to 100 for the metal songs ... "Yes, 97 decibels (dB) is very loud and can damage your hearing after just 30 minutes of exposure" read more

if i'm ever out in leander, i'd drop by again! wonderful wait staff who took great care of us. gave us free matcha and miso soup so kind the chicken tonkatsu w curry is very homey and classic japanese curry, thinner soup and light curry flavor. insanely huge portion size. their chicken was a bit tough to bite through, but overall good fry. the yummy belly roll had seared salmon and salmon belly in it. overall somehow very filling even tho it was 5 pieces. the salt they used as a topping was quite overwhelming. it was just really salty. miso soup tasted classic, and matcha was nonexistent in matcha earthiness. definitely a premade instant mix read more

WOW!! I had no expectations coming in but this place was delicious! I got the sesame chicken and it had zero weird chewy pieces and was bursting with flavor. The miso soup had a flavorful savory taste and the veggie spring rolls were refreshing and a good size. I loved the matcha and tea which were unsweetened. Service was normal and staff were friendly. The area was small and pretty with nice table settings and menus! read more

Solid quality in a quaint little place. Contrary to other people, I actually really like the ambience and decor here. It feels simple yet clean and modern. It doesn't really feel super close to Japanese style though. I got the bento box and tried the hamachi roll. Both were solid. The bento box I picked was the beef teriyaki and the ahi poki. The "pickles" are in fact not pickles they are daikon. The ahi tasted fresh and solid but after a while there's some flavor fatigue. The beef teriyaki tasted solid but more korean leaning like galbi but not as good. The hamachi roll was okay. The price is a little bit on the higher side but quality is good. Service is good as well. Not sure if I would go back but maybe if I was in the area! read more

I came to this location last month for lunch with my partner. While this was not my first time at this location, it is my first review of this place! Why did it take so long, I have no clue? We specifically came to this location to get the lunch Bento box specials. Bento box The Bento box lunch specials here are fully customizable (based upon a set list of items of course), which is nice as you can get as you can really have it your way (written in the B.K. theme song tone). We both elected to get the sushi, teriyaki chicken and salmon respectively. The lunch special bento boxes also come with standard white rice, a small salad with sesame dressing and miso soup. The beto boxes are truly filling for their size which I acredit to the rice from both the sushi and the portion that comes with the lunch. The teriyaki was perfectly balanced as it wasn't too salty which was perfect as when it tastes overwhelmingly savory, masking other flavors like sweetness and garlic. Conversely, the miso soup was a bit too salty for my liking. Sometimes the saltiness in miso soup can vary depending on the type and amount of miso paste used. I didnt think to tell the staff that I required something lower in sodium which is my fault. We also ordered another sushi role that was made with crispy salmon, jalapeno, spicy mayo, Sriracha and seaweed. The sushi role was crunchy and had a nice kick of flavor. Paired with wasabi, this role was an explosive flavor bomb. The service coupled with the food, vaule for quanity of food and service make this an ideal luch spot for fresh sushi. #supportlocal read more

After my nail appointment next door, I decided to give Sushi to the Moon a try--honestly, how can you not love that name? I was warmly greeted by Jasmine, who took the time to walk me through the menu and explain the lunch specials. Since I was the only one in the restaurant at the time, I got to ask plenty of questions and even learned a bit about the chefs and ownership--a really nice touch that made the experience feel personal. I placed my order to go, and when I got to my location, I was blown away by the portion size. For just $18, a huge portion Bento box that included salad, California rolls, rice, teriyaki beef, and all the delicious fixings you'd expect. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully packed. Loved, loved, loved it--this spot is a hidden gem! Can't wait to come back. Austin Yelp Elite All-Star approved! read more

SUSHI To The MOON - Japanese Near Me - Leander, Texas

We got a little bit of everything, and nothing disappointed. It's phenomenal to get such high quality sushi this far north...even if this place were closer to downtown or the Domain, I have no doubt they'd compete well with the larger more infamous places. The toro and nigiri samplers were delicious. Perfectly cooked rice, and seasoned just right to bring out each unique fish. But man, my daughter got the beef udon and I just couldn't let her not finish the bowl. That broth was a good balance between sweet and salty, and was some of the best i've had in ATX (granted I normally don't try the udon at sushi places). The mentaiko dumplings as a starter really stole the show with the creamy cheese and rich pollack sauce matching perfectly with the pork based dumpling. If you're a roll fan, I'd highly suggest the Napa Valley roll with a great special sauce that reminds me of Mushashinos. We're so happy to have a place so close to us up north...this will be our go to spot on the north side of town. read more

This was our first but not last visit to Sushi to the Moon. Here are the vitals. The service is excellent, the fish is fresh, the portions are ample, and there is something on the menu for everyone. From their website: Owner and Chef, Joon has over 20 years of experience in Japanese cuisine from Napa Valley California. He has definitely brought a California vibe to Leander! We ordered our usual sushi combo bluefin, hamachi, yellowtail, and sake. This fish requires minimal if, not zero, soy sauce and wasabi. This fish was so good we went for a reduced round two. Sidebar: I don't understand why folks drown their sushi in soy sauce and wasabi. My recommendation buy your sushi at HEB and drown it! We also ordered their hangry roll which is a fried roll. This one-of-a-kind roll has yellowtail, spicy crabmeat, cream cheese, jalapenos, and a special sauce. The presentation is wonderful, yes there is a flame. This combination of fish, sauce, and heat is a cornucopia of flavor. If you are not into sushi check out their menu as they also offer noodle bowls and other cooked entrees. Speaking of beverages they have a good selection of sake and a few interesting beers. If you wish to bring your own adult beverage there is a corkage fee. Easy 5-star review. read more

Came here for an early dinner and it wasn't busy at all. This was around 6 p.m. The inside looks nice with a sushi bar near the entrance and a nice waiting area if you need to wait for your Togo order or a table to free up. We ordered our food and all the raw food came out pretty quickly. The cooked food, on the other hand, took some time. The chicken katsu had a very crispy texture to it, almost very similar to the ones in Japan. The sushi itself was decent and fresh. The slices of fish were a decent size and it was proportionally nice with the rice. The dessert was okay and that I can pass on next time. It didn't have the same flavor as the ones in Japan. read more

I want to update that my review IS for the correct restaurant and the roll i described is exactly on the menu and my experience when i was there. the roll is even on most of the photos and reviews. Submitting my same review with this disclaimer: It's about average. i've gone 2 times. the salmon roll is really not one i would reorder as it's like cooked salmon on top. Just kinda yucky with raw salmon on bottom. really not my preference. Im not sure, this place has really good reviews so I'm sure a lot of ppl have better recommendations. Personally, i would probably go elsewhere next time based on the rolls and the quality imo. Also they don't give free water? lol. you have to buy bottled water from them if you want water. Just weird for America imo. read more

We had been wanting to try Sushi to the Moon for a while since it was one of the closer sushi restaurants to us. Came in fairly early on a Thursday evening, wasn't too busy. Overall a solid 3 stars. The good: Service! Our server was not only extremely polite and attentive, she was very helpful with clarifying menu items and proactively bringing us napkins and refills on beverages. This was what stood out as the best part. The Avocado Ball. This was excellently crafted and balanced. Texture, flavor and portion. Would order it again! The not so good: Well, when you come to a sushi bar you really want the fish to be the star. I love hamachi and so I ordered it as nigiri and in several rolls. But candidly it was not good. As you can see from my pictures, the hamachi rolls had diced up fish in them. Likely, based on taste and texture, not great cuts of fish. The nigiri which you can also see in the picture had sinew throughout it. None of the pieces of hamachi nigiri could be eaten properly because of the hard sinew. So in sum, service was excellent, the server fantastic, but the food came up a bit short where it mattered most. We didn't exactly order that much and for 3 people it was $150+ read more

First impression was, "dang, it's cold in here.. but oh wow, what a vibe." We were brought to our table pretty quickly and sat on comfortable seats. Our drink order was taken and we knew what starters we wanted fairly quickly. Shortly after, our hamachi carpaccio and tuna tacos came out (we ate them so fast I didn't even take a photo - they were delicious). Our main plates of sushi were ordered and when they were served I was so excited. The presentation of the hangry fish roll was very cool and.. there was FIRE! haha. I was not only able to warm up my hands but the sweetest server, Aiyana, that we enjoyed having take our order put up the ac so we could eat comfortably. I'd definitely come back here. Thank you for a great experience! read more

We really like sushi to the moon! We've been several times and they have been consistently good. I like the feel of the restaurant because it's bright and feels more open than a lot of more traditional sushi restaurants. The fish has always been fresh tasting and they have thick cuts of fish in their rolls! The waitresses are always so sweet and always give our kids the cutest sushi stickers. read more

For the price, you definitely could get better quality of sushi elsewhere. Their rolls were better than the nigiri sushi, but nothing impressive. I was about to give this a 3 star for their food and slow service, but the staff were so kind and sweet so had to do 4 stars for them. Nigiri sushi was quite disappointing. The salmon wasn't fatty enough. The takoyaki was decent, but overpriced for 3 pieces. The venue itself had a calming, peaceful and warm atmosphere. Definitely good for a date night. read more

This is a remarkably high quality sushi place in the Cedar Park/Leander area! When you walk in, you're transported to a beautiful designed sushi restaurant, akin to many of the nicest sushi restaurants in downtown Austin. The fish is super high quality, melt in your mouth delicious. We had the salmon crudo, hamachi carpaccio, and the omakase roll (chef's choice). Everything was so delicious and thoroughly impressed us! Our waitress was great and checked on us often. We sat at the bar and watched the sushi chefs create the rolls! The chef who made our omakase roll told us all about it - it was great! This is a big contender for the best sushi in north Austin! I can't wait to come back! read more

We've heard so much about this place over the last year that we wanted to try it ourselves. We were celebrating our 4th wedding anniversary, and we were able to make a reservation. Upon arriving, we were happily greeted and quickly shown our table. We looked over the extensive menu and experienced a bit of decision paralysis -- and that's okay! P2 wanted an app, rolls, and miso soup, so we ordered those for starters. We later ordered a sashimi plate, which came out beautifully. Everything was delicious and top-quality. The Agedashi Tofu was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. P2 said the agedashi tofu here is the best in Austin. The Dragon Roll was carefully prepared and perfect. The Omakase roll turned out to be a Hamachi Roll for that day. The Sashimi Plate came with thick cuts of fish, with a very thoughtful presentation. Sushi to the Moon had a warm ambiance, and its interior design was most similar to what you'll find in California. There was also lots of natural lighting for a restaurant, which I appreciated. This is now our favorite sushi restaurant in town! read more

Had a chance to Visit "Sushi to the Moon". In Leander. Wow! I love sushi. Now I'm not an expert on raw fish, but I must say I got adventurous and ordered the "Crazy Red Dragon", with the spicy tuna and it was really good. So y'all should know by now that I love a good "lunch special". We had the double specially rolls and Miso so Wifie ordered the "Crazy California Roll", with soy paper and add cream cheese. These little extras made for an excellent meal. Our server was "Jasmine", very friendly and helpful. She reviewed our order with us, which I'm glad.

Went to Sushi to the Moon recently and honestly had a great experience. The food was really good and everything tasted fresh. The restaurant itself feels clean and kind of upscale, so the overall atmosphere was really nice. The staff were super friendly and attentive too. The food came out pretty quickly, and they were really on top of things. At one point they noticed we needed extra napkins and brought them over right away without us even asking, which I thought was a nice touch. The presentation of the food was also really nice, everything looked clean and well made. You can tell they care about both the food and the service. Definitely recommend checking it out if you're looking for good sushi and a place with great service. read more

Silly me, but when I see a pic from your menu, I kinda expect something similar. But what I ordered online tonight was nothing like I got. I ordered the hamachi carpaccio (which I only like thin cut sashimi) and I got 3 pieces of thick cut tuna sashimi and greens with no carpaccio sauce. My heart is broken. I am 79. So, I shall be out of here soon. But...I so love the world. read more

The sushi is good. I am a little jaded having lived in California and Seattle where the sushi is usually very good as the ocean it comes from is right there. My only complaint about the sushi is the portion size of some selections. I had the Yummy Belly roll which was good enough to make me literally go ummm when I tasted it. There just wasn't enough there. I was still hungry even after having three pieces of hamachi sashimi. So I also ordered the shaggy roll. This was also good but came with 7 pieces vs the 5 smaller pieces of the yummy belly roll, which was better. All that & unsweetened ice tea cost me $65.15. I had no alcohol. The one thing I would change is the interior. Not a lot of atmosphere. Sparse decor, exposed concrete floor, no booths, plain tables & chairs. All fine but the atmosphere felt like a cafeteria. A common thing it seems in Leander & Cedar Park. The service was attentive & prompt. read more
