Long overdue from my visit 2 years ago! I still think about Sushi Yume and I live in California.. Generous portions, creative flavors, fresh fish, friendly service, and cute presentation. What else could you ask for?! The restaurant is clean and cozy, great for date night or a catch up session with your friends. Highly highly recommend! read more

This place is tucked away in Round Rock and is probably one of the best sushi places I've had in a while. Sushi Yume is an intimate restaurant with a very attentive staff-- they were definitely on it when my table kept ordering nigiri . I got the chirashi bowl and the toro special. From the perfectly cooked sushi rice, fresh fish, and thoughtful accompaniments in my chirashi bowl - I loved it! I will definitely be back! read more

I went back for round two and still had a good time! Left feeling so full and everything was so yum. I love the scallops here. Lots of sauce and big rolls. They also gave us some free grilled fish appetizer. Would recommend! read more

Came in to have sushi with a friend. We sat at the sushi bar since there were no tables avaliable. the two rolls we got were just alright, one of them had fish pieces that were so large it made it really hard to eat. the escalor nigiri was good but there is way better in the area. Edemame to me was also just okay . The best thing we had was the fried , stuffed jalapeños. probably wouldn't go back here unless someone else pays lol. read more

Sushi Yume - Spicy rainbow roll and salmon sashimi - Japanese Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

I've got half a mind to not even write this review because I know this place is going to blow up. Luckily, I don't gate keep because this place should be open forever so everyone can get a taste of this delicious sushi. A foodie friend who had gone for dinner said that he recommended literally on the menu and that dinner waits may exceed two hours. So I came here for lunch with a coworker at 1 to avoid the lunch rush. We were seated and served so promptly! It's a small store front that is clean and there are not many tables so I can understand why there may be a substantial wait for dinner, and, it's worth it! You can pretty much see the sushi chef's working their magic from at least half the tables at the restaurant. We had the sea bream as an appetizer that was on the house. My coworker only likes raw fish if it's wrapped in seaweed (so sashimi and nigiri is out with him) but he made an exception for the sea bream and he loved it. I got the chef's set and every bite was exquisite and delicious. The crunch roll was divine and the blue crab roll was good too. Lunch for both of us was about $40 dollars so it's not an everyday place but we were so happy and satisfied with everything we had! read more

I love Sushi Yume -- hands down my favorite sushi restaurant in Austin. The pricing is fair and the quality is exceptional. They offer daily specials as well as solid lunch deals. If you're not into raw seafood, they have great rolls, but the sashimi is always incredibly fresh. I also love the donburi here -- it's my favorite in town. The rice is perfectly seasoned and the fish is consistently fresh. Compared to other places that are more expensive, the chirashi don here is an excellent value. The space itself is very small and seating is very limited. I don't recommend large groups but I would make a reservation for parties of more than four and calling ahead. They do accept walk-ins, but on weekends expect a 45-60 minute wait. read more

Sushi Yume - Japanese Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

Had dinner on a Saturday night, wait was about 1 hour. Service was great and everyone is super nice. Really liked the yellowtail sashimi special and crispy rice with tuna. Nigiri pieces were great as well. Salmon blue crab sashimi special: this was probably my least favorite item we ordered. Blue crab meat wrapped in salmon. Flavoring was good but there was too much crabmeat. So the texture is all the same. read more

a restaurant worthy of its reputation truly. i came on a friday and was turned away due to the waitlist closing. only three hours after opening!! i made sure to get there right at opening the next day, and my party of 4 were the last to be let in after being 4th in line it's a very small, intimate, and cozy space, and no one rushed you which i truly appreciated everything that we ordered was so skillfully crafted, starting from the agedashi and calamari. the batters for both complemented its main component perfectly. the double salmon roll was decadent and creamy, and the shiso leaf in the futomaki was the cherry on top of that bite - so bright. i loved my vibrant chirashi bowl and spicy scallop handroll. such a lovely experience read more

Came in for lunch on a Thursday around noon and the place was already packed. I waited about 20 minutes, but it was definitely worth the wait. The handrolls were super flavorful, and the sushi set was fresh and high-quality. I also tried the seared salmon - absolutely amazing! Fatty, tender and juicy with so much umami from the smoky flavor. Would definitely come back. read more

My friend and I stopped by Sushi Yume for lunch and it is completely worth the hype! They are very well priced for the quality of fish they serve. They have some lunch specials on their menu - I chose the two roll special, and got the spicy salmon + dragon roll. The rolls were very good and huge + filling. Very generous portions and thick cuts of fish. In retrospect I wish I'd tried some nigiri and sashimi since raw fish seems to be their specialty. Will definitely be doing that next time. The only blip in our experience was the service. We arrived when the restaurant opened, at 11am and got seats immediately. The restaurant didn't start filling up until closer to noon. However within the first 5 mins of being seated, I felt very pressured to order immediately, before I was ready. They incessantly checked in to see if we needed anything else and dropped a lot of hints that we should wrap up. This was a little frustrating and stressful. read more

Really good quality and well-seasoned sushi rolls and nigiri! For the quality, the price is justified and reasonable. We got the double salmon roll, snow roll, squid nigiri, seared salmon nigiri, and scallop nigiri. The rolls are fat and loaded! The nigiris already come seasoned so we didn't even need to add soy sauce. Rice is done well with thick pieces of fish on each. Again, amazing quality. The only downfall is that we didn't fancy their appetizers much. We got the tempura which the batter was light and didn't feel greasy, but severely under seasoned. On the other hand, the shishito peppers were so overly salty. For the agedashi tofu, the tofu to batter ratio was off. I wish they had cut the tofu thinner. And the Inaniwa Udon was overcooked and soggy, didn't get the chewy noodles we were told it was. Definitely coming back and sticking to just the sushi. read more

This place is 100% worth the hype. Every single item is made with care and precision, and is absolutely delicious. read more

Decided to give this spot a try after seeing it pop up on social media and super glad I did! Walked up about 15 mins. prior to opening (11am) on NYE and were 4th in line to get a table. The restaurant is small so it was pretty much filled within the first 10 mins. of opening. Service was quick and casual, food is no frills and delicious, and menu has great variety! All around an easy 5/5 hit - I can't wait to revisit and try other things on the menu! QUICK FACTS: - Parking? Yes, located in a strip mall on the corner. There is plenty of open lot parking space. - Reservations? I don't see any online. You can call ahead and see or try to let them know if your group is larger than 4. FOOD RATINGS: - Chef's choice sushi (lunch special, 5/5): 6 pieces for $24. Loved all of the pieces. Rice is done really well, both in flavor and texture. Fish is generously portioned and melts in your mouth. I wish I ordered more nigiri! - Crispy rice with spicy tuna (5/5): Trendy but done really well! Perfectly crispy rice, generous portion of tuna. A great starter. - Crab puff (4/5): Loaded and tasty. Loved the tempura style roll. Cream cheese balance was nice, sauce was good. - Popcorn lobster roll (3/5): My least favorite thing we ordered. Not sure why it has the word "lobster" in it when there's not actually any lobster. The "popcorn" style crawfish was fun, but overwhelmed the roll. The roll itself was like a basic California roll - nothing special. I wouldn't order this one again. - Snowball roll (I can't remember the name, 4/5): Giant pieces loaded with fish. Rice was super soft and delicious. All around a solid roll! - Seared salmon nigiri (5/5): This was given to us randomly, on the house. They were delicious! Melted in your mouth. Very sweet of them and unexpected. We enjoyed it! read more

Sushi was never this affordable and good in Austin! I've failed to come here multiple times due to the wait times, and this time I showed up at opening. It was so worth Inside the store, it looks pretty simple and humble. The waitstaff are friendly and knowledgable, and there's nothing intimidating or upscale about the storefront. The food, on the other hand, is on par with well established, high end restaurants. The 10 piece nigiri combo was a great price, but I wasn't expecting the toppings and sauces on the dish. Extraordinary work with fresh fish and premium ingredients. I couldn't have asked for anything better. The nebi toro handroll was delicious as well! Yuzu sorbet was fantastic; I was blown away by everything they handed me. read more

this is one of my favorite sushi restaurants in texas!!! the quality and quantity of salmon for the price - can't beat it. i love salmon, so i ordered the following: agedashi tofu, salmon roll, double salmon roll, salmon and aburi salmon sushi i could eat the salmon roll all day - so yummy!! the double salmon roll was too spicy for me the first time i got it, so this time i asked them to not include the spicy mayo on top, and it tasted a lot better. there is always a line, so expect to wait ~ but so worth it! read more

Easily the best sushi I've ever had. Fresh, and delicious. The staff is very friendly too!

It's bonkers how good this unassuming little sushi restaurant is! Bonkers I say! I haven't had sushi this good in ages. Every single thing we ordered exceeded expectations. The uni was particularly delicious. I tried the monkfish liver as well and it knocked my socks off. I mean, just look at these pictures. Service was excellent. Atmosphere is energetic and the sushi chefs were all smiles. It is pricy but the price matches the quality. We can't wait to go back! read more

The next restaurant making Yelp's top 100 list is Sushi Yume. I heard that there is usually a wait so I came at 5 pm on a Tuesday and got seated immediately, although by the time I finished the place was full. It's a simple, classic American sushi restaurant, but the food punches much higher than that. The tako (octopus) wasabi appetizer was delicious and cleared out my sinuses about 17 times, the miso soup was classic, and I was gifted a tasty piece of seared salmon sushi. After seeing everyone recommend the double salmon roll I felt that had to be my choice, and it's a nice sized 8 piece roll, quite saucy, and the highlight is the generous ikura (salmon roe) on top. Should be called triple salmon roll then lol. Not many American sushi places use ikura, and they also had fresh root wasabi for $8, another sign of quality. Prices are slightly more than usual but sushi is always up there so it's hard to fault them. Highly recommend! read more

We finally found our future go to sushi spot in the Round Rock area! You can make reservation request online or walk in which was what we did. Luckily we visited on a Thursday and we were 3rd in line. It is a small restaurant so if you have a large party, you might be in a queue for little longer. The fish here is really fresh and the prices are pretty decent for the portion size that you get. They have a good range of sushi rolls, sashimi, and handroll options that most sushi spots in Austin. My husband and I loved every dish! Our least favorite was their Karaage which came with a sweet chili sauce dipping sauce. I prefer a more mayo based sauce. Service was very quick as they had about 3-4 sushi chefs behind the counter. I would say we were in and out in about an hour or less! read more

We had to wait about 10 minutes at 1pm on a Sunday (they close at 2 and reopen for dinner). The full counter was empty but they still sat us at the counter after we were 3rd on the waitlist. We had ample room and they left the seats immediately next to us empty so it felt spacious. We were front and center to the sushi prep. Everything we ate was delicious. My favorite was the salmon and yellowtail nigiri. Everything was fresh and high quality. I will come back if my budget allows. They have my favorite form of ginger at this place as well. And we loved the same dessert. Service was spot on and everyone in the place was attentive and doing a good job making sure we had everything we needed. read more

Exceptional service every time! I love this place so much, everyone there deserves to be paid more. It's always busy for a reason... because people love the food and environment. I go here at least every other week, and I've never had a bad experience. Best time to go is before 6pm because they get super busy and close the waitlist, but trust me you want to get on that list regardless of the wait. This is the best sushi place in the area! read more

Sushi Yume - Green Tea Ice cream - Japanese Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

Hands-down, one of the best sushi restaurants in Austin I've ever been to and I've been in the city since 2014. I've been to ultra high fine dining, Omakase, all the types in Austin. This restaurant has to be the number 1 value to dollar to taste sushi restaurant that just opened. Sadly when people hear how incredible this restaurant is, I'll probably have to wait 2-3 hours for a table. Anyone reading this, go try this place before the masses find out. Incredible fresh fresh capital F in fresh sashimi, every single slice of fish tasted incredible fresh. I have no idea how they did this, I guess the chef caught the fish in the ocean and sliced it directly for me? Have to be. They have fresh wasabi the real deal and I've never had it at a normal sushi restaurant until now. I've had it with ultra high fine dining but not your regular restaurant. The wasabi is sweet not that horseradish type. Even the board it comes on looks like a shark fin board. Normally, I would explain the textures of each dish, but anyone reading this just think of soft, fibrous, firm, crispy, salty, seawater, low amount of seaweed and sugar all over the meal. You don't need soy sauce. I almost debate the soy sauce would take away from the meal. read more

Our neighbor has been raving about their experience and asked a few times if we had made it in to try Sushi Yume! I passed him on the way with a "guess where we're headed?" The rave review was met without exception. Clean, bright, and simple decor (love the old record players). Service was prompt and courteous! Tried the shishitos (great dish with some unexpected flair), a side salad, Seared Tuna Sashimi, Salmon and Crab Sashimi, and a baked roll. All three rolls were exceptional. Can't wait to go back for more. read more

First time eating here, came here after seeing the videos on social media. Friday evening - got here at 6:30, finally seated at 7:45 (table of 3). Decor is tasteful, nice vibe with easy listening-Korean music in the background. Since it was our first time here, we wanted to order a bit of everything... Miso soup Ika geso* Toro uni don Inaniwa udon Ama ebi Anago ankimo Negitoro nigiri* 24 pc. Sashimi combo 10 pc. Sushi combo Black sesame montblanc Yuzu cheesecake (* - complimentary from staff) We definitely appreciate the negitoro & ika geso from the staff! Both were tasty!! Stand outs / hits - Sashimi and sushi, negitoro, montblanc dessert! Fish tasted fresh, good sized portions. We don't see the montblanc dessert here in Austin often and it was yummy here! Misses - Inaniwa udon was nicely seasoned but the noodles were too soggy, overcooked. The noodles kept breaking apart as I was trying to dip it in my broth. Toro Uni Don was just okay - presentation was cool but nothing outstanding with the uni and toro here. Overall, we think food here definitely rivals some of the best Japanese & omakase restaurants in Austin area. Servers were outstanding, food was served in a good flow. We didn't order any drinks; you can BYOB ($15 fee) so we will bring our Japanese whisky next time. ^_^ Suggestion(s): implement reservation system for Fri-Sat nights, create a bigger waiting space outside (chairs, water station) We will be back soon!! Thank you Sushi Yume for making our tummies happy. Great start to the weekend! read more

Sushi Yume is FANTASTIC!! We were in the area for work and spotted this place nearby with great reviews - and boy, are this reviews justified! Everything was phenomenal! Service was lighting fast and friendly ! It was cold out so we began with Miso Soup that was perfect and also a deal at just $2 a bowl! Then I tried two of their Sashimi- a salmon with ruffle and tuna with jalapeño! Born some of the best o have ever had! It was all amazing and made for a perfect lunch!! read more

The sushi here is fresh and of great quality. Service is attentive and quick. The ambiance is casual, and the music is nice. We came in as a party of two around 4:30 PM on a Saturday. There was no wait for us, but the restaurant filled up quickly. Here's what we ordered: Scallop Sushi (2 pieces) $8 - 5/5 It came lightly seared. The scallops were really thick, and it felt like a bite of heaven. Truly satisfying! Aburi Salmon Sushi (2 pieces) $8 - 5/5 The salmon was thick and fatty. It was lightly seasoned and perfectly balanced. Chirashi Don $35 - 5/5 The presentation was amazing, and I was pleasantly surprised to find a piece of uni. Our bowl came with 8 pieces of fish, 1 shrimp, 1 uni, a little bit of ikura, tamago, and some pickled greens. The portion was generous, and all the seafood tasted incredible. Great price and excellent quality. Black Cod $13 - 3.5/5 This appetizer is good for two people to share. The cod was fatty and tender, but the seasoning was a bit too salty for my taste. The combination of fatty and salty made it less enjoyable, and I didn't want to keep eating. A bit more lemon might help balance it out. Ube Brownie with Vanilla Ice Cream $10 - 3.5/5 The brownie was served warm but was a little hard, and the ube flavor was very subtle. It paired well with the ice cream, but overall, it was a mediocre dessert. This was my first visit, and I loved the sushi here. The prices are just right. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

We came on a Friday night and 7pm and we had to wait for about 50 minutes for a party of 4 to be seated. They do not take reservations but you can come and put your name down on a list and they will call you when your table is ready. I suggest you do that so you do not have to wait. The rolls are very good size and the prices are phenomenal. We ordered 4 rolls and 3 appetizers and it was about $100 that is an amazing deal. Everything tasted great. Quiet and understated place.

Finally! A sushi spot in the Austin area that's actually really good without breaking the bank. We went around 7 on a Friday night and had about a 15 min wait, you need to go there and they will add you to their waitlist. Unfortunately there isn't really a way to join the waitlist online. We got: - miso soup (Average) - karaage (Not good) - seaweed salad (average) - Hama chili (amazing) - salmon and eel nigiri (great) - popcorn lobster roll (good) - yuzu cheese cake (great) They had a very cute ambiance like some of the sushi shops in Vancouver and since we were sitting at the sushi bar we got served really quickly. Overall it was a great experience, our bill was only $100 for 2 of us all inclusive, their cuts of sashimi were super tasty and really thick with solid potion sizes. The only things I wished were different would be to improve on their karaage and allow people to join the waitlist online. read more

Awesome sushi, some of the best sashimi we've had in austin. Great service as well. I'm not the best picture taker but every dish was beautifully plated as well.
