What a great way to start 2026! Chef J specials always are wonderful. The soup was the perfect amount of spicy with fish, mussell and clams. It was accompanied by flamming clams. The hand roll with toro , uni and samon roe was the best Ive ever had. So happy to have this wonderful restaurant close to home. read more

Finally had my first dine in expierence with Sushi Zoa! I had a beautiful kind waitress that sat and took care of me! I had the escalor civiche which was great texture and pretty good flavor but not sure I would order it again. 3.5/5 The tuna tower and fried jalapeños were delightful, loved the wontons served w/ the tower. - 5/5 the happy hour isn't really much of a discount for most food items, I think I saved around 2-4$s. seating avaliable at the sushi bar, booths , and 3 private rooms that can serve as a private event area for up to - 25? I think she said. i'll definitely come back to try more of the menu. read more

I would give this place a 3.5. I've been here twice and had very different experiences food-wise, partly my fault since I didn't order sushi either times. - Spicy Pork Bulgogi Bento (4/5) - I mainly liked how this came with miso soup, salad, California roll and gyoza. Worth the price in my opinion - Korean Ramen (1/5) - highly recommend to NOT order this unless you want to pay $15 for instant ramen. I was completely baffled when my order came out and I saw that the dish was instant noodles with half an egg. It even came with the ingredients you get in the little pack for instant ramen. If it looks and tastes like instant ramen, it's instant ramen. Totally not worth $15. If I ever return, I'll either get their bento boxes or try their sushi instead. They do get a bonus point from me for accommodating us even though we came in just before their afternoon break. read more

One thing I like about Sushi Zoa is their portion sizes. I ordered 3 rolls and had plenty left over to take home and finish the next day. The quality of the fish is good and the menu items tasted great. The dining area was a little small, but I had no issues with getting a table. Sushi Zoa is a solid option for Hutto/ Pflugerville residents. read more

Sushi Zoa - Sushi Bars Near Me - Hutto, Texas

I am my own worst enemy! Selfishly not wanting anyone to know how amazing this place is, but still giving it 5 stars despite knowing its popularity is gonna explode! Stopped by and the stars (5 of them) aligned as the happy hour banner greeted me as I passed the threshold into this den of sushi indulgence. I had to honor every cut of fish behind the glass at the bar... like a mausoleum of displayed gifts from the sea. I sat across from the head sushi chef... I watched as his blade passionately penetrated the succulent flesh like watching a sushi porno. I had the happy hour combo of Sushi Roll + Nigiri. Spicy Salmon and Chefs succulent offerings of nigiri. I absolutely had to know their name before I put them in my mouth. My amazing waitress Alyssa, took the time of not only telling me but writing it down for me so I could accurately share my experience. Nigiri consisted of: Chu Toro (medium fatty tuna), Su-zuki (Stripe Bass), Madai (fatty red snapper), Amberjack (yellowtail), Hamachi (yellowtail), Sake Toro (fatty salmon)!!!!! I cant wordsmith how this sushi literally melted in my mouth. It was arranged in a way that there was a progression of succulence as I moved on... served to be eaten in order of the chefs tale of the sea. I understood how everyone treated the head chef with austere reverence. He humbly executed his life's craft. Alyssa taught me about these amazing baby Japanese green pears at the end of my sushi experience. Juicy and sweet. Followed by the most amazing smoky Japanese baby berry.... The latter of which I've never tasted anything like it. Sweet, semi-tart, smoky kiss to the pallet. The very personal experiment highlighted it all... I don't feel like I was lost in the crowd... such a great energy! read more

Excellent Sushi and Ramen, highly recommend. I usually go to downtown for my Sushi not anymore! You won't be disappointed if you try this place, I ate everything next time will slow down and take some pics. All rolls were excellent but the lobster roll was our favorite! read more

Everything was spot on! First off the atmosphere is welcoming and more high energy which is great. Some sushi spots can be sleepy, this one is not with dance music and fun things to see on the t.v., sports and K- Pop. We noticed there are some private dining boxed rooms for rent which is a great option to have. I'm not sure if we ordered the most perfect things on the menu but we were dancing in our seats with delight. Always eating with our eyes first, the presentation was beautifully put together. Kudos to the chefs! Dragon Roll- melt in your mouth delicous, rice was cooked well, yum! Ahi Tuna Roll- very good meld of flavors and the bright colored eggs on top was a fun touch. Sexy Roll- absolute perfection! I liked that this one had no rice. It was carefully wrapped in cucumber. The one bite holds so much flavor and finishes with a lingering ginger. At the end I shot back the quail egg and it was velvety smooth. I will try some Korean dishes next time, but thoroughly enjoyed the sushi and experience! read more

3.75 rounded up to 4 stars because of service and convenience to where I live! We've been to Sushi Zoa twice and both times have been okay. Crudos are good, rolls and noodles are okay. The location is what likely will keep us coming back without having to drive too far, but there are certainly places in Round Rock that we like better. Doesn't mean you should not try and form opinions for yourself, however, as it's a good neighborhood restaurant. The latest time we went, we ordered Hamachi crudo (good), Spider roll (soft-shelf crab was on the smaller side), a few nigiri pieces (okay), and tempura udon (noodles themselves were good, so was the tempura pieces), broth was okay and included random vegetables. Standard sushi restaurant that's clean and well laid-out - good service. Parking is plentiful. read more

The sushi was soooo tasty I can't wait to go back!! Great presentation and amazing flavors! The service was awesome,Dominique was great!!! You have to get the green tea as well!!! read more

Who loves sushi? I do! This has quickly become one of my favorite places for sushi. They also offer Korean Bento boxes. My brother-in-law and nephew usually join me for lunch here. Their prices are pretty reasonable, considering that sushi is not cheap. Overall, the facility is nicely set up, with even some private party rooms available. Their menu is expansive, offering all kinds of sushi. On my many visits here, I've chosen the Korean Spicy Pork Bento box. It was plentiful and delicious! My nephew's and brother-in-law's sushi looked very tempting. I kind of regretted not getting sushi myself. This is definitely a sushi place worth visiting. read more

Finding our way back to this spot in Hutto. Best service and conveniences. tonight, got the best service ever from the staff. Seems like everyone is out shopping for Christmas or on their way out during Christmas break. We had three waitresses serving us with smiles. It was such a great atmosphere. Even gave us a little something extra for dessert. I thoroughly enjoy the attentiveness and etiquette as well as the chef recognizing what my wife orders every time we step in here. I'm impressed by that. Yep. This has become our favorite sushi place. Everyone should have one. Please make this one yours as well! read more

Had to drop a quick review here bc this is the first time I've had sushi in the Austin area (in Pflugerville/Hutto border off the 130 of all places!) that compares to the better places in the SF Bay Area peninsula. The Ahi Tower is phenomenal and spicy. Seared tuna crudo a perfect mix of umami flavors. My wife loved the avocado roll because it was almost all avocado. And the staff were soooo attentive. read more

Great food, great service, and an amazing vibe--I loved it." absolutely recommend this place. You won't be disappointed! read more

We showed up on Friday at 2:10pm not realizing that would be scheduled to close at 2:30pm. The owner/sushi chef were gracious enough to allow us to dine in. That was already such a positive experience for us although we felt bad because the employees were waiting for 2:30pm to go on their break until they reopen at 4pm. Our server was very polite and attentive and reassured us not to worry about showing up late. The ramen was 10/10, perfectly balanced flavors and the pork belly was seasoned well. Beef bulgogi 10/10 had a nice balance of slightly sweet and savory just as bulgogi should taste. I loved that the chef was accommodating and when I mentioned I didn't want mayonnaise in my California roll they modified it and gave me leg meat instead. Food came out fast and we were out of there by 2:35pm! This is my new favorite Korean food restaurant. We'll be dining back for sure! read more

Sushi Zoa - Tonkatsu Ramen and Beef Bulgogi Bento Box Lunch Special - Sushi Bars Near Me - Hutto, Texas

I ordered food for delivery and was excited to try this place out! We ordered the: seafood udon, spicy tuna roll, fire cracker roll, spicy pork bulgogi and tiramisu. First, I was not expecting to see ice cream on the tiramisu. Since it was a delivery order I assumed it would just be the cake, but either the frozen mochi melted or there was ice cream on it. The tiramisu tasted amazing despite the mess. The spicy tuna roll and firecracker rolls were decent. Not bad for a sushi spot in Hutto. Now to the entree....seafood udon. If you have ever had Jjambbong (Chinese-style Korean spicy seafood noodles) before order this!!! This was so good that I came back again (this time in person) to order more. It is pricy at $22, but good. Definitely worth it. The server was so nice and they packed our food to go with cardboard on the bottom since the hot liquid is separated from the noodles. Perfect so it won't get soggy. This is a busy place on a Friday night and I can see why. read more

We hit up their lunch specials twice since they opened, and are a big fan of their Sushi Combos. Specifically, their Sushi Combo B with their Rainbow Roll. The fish are delicious and tastes like they were prepared with quality. The sized of the fish and the roll was very good as well, and didn't finish the meal still feeling hungry. It's pricey for sure, but their Combo B gives you better and more fish than at other places. We've only have done pick up orders so far, but everything has gone smoothly and the staff was super friendly. read more

Sushi Zoa - Sushi Bars Near Me - Hutto, Texas

I've been to plenty of ramen restaurants and my experiences have all been consistent. Umami bone flavored rich broth with bouncy chewy noodles. Add in the flakey meat from chicken to chashu, that's why we get ramen because it teleports us to Japan. Trying the Tonkotsu ramen from Sushi Zoa, is like teleporting to Chucky cheese, it's the worst ramen I have ever tried in my entire life. I'm always looking at value vs taste vs experience and this dish is not worth $18. It's worth more like $9. I feel ripped off, I feel taken advantage of, and to be honest I've had instant ramen that looks and taste almost the same from a bag. I do like the noodles, the noodles are great, bouncy, chewy, and plenty of it so the noodles have texture. The ramen broth was decent just didn't have enough flavor, it had some but not that umami consistent ramen taste I've experienced and expect. Look at the egg, you telling me I get half an egg and it's not runny? Look at the slices of pork, is this a kids meal? Really?! $18!? I took pictures of the dish at home it's the 2nd picture I posted that comes as is. Now slide to picture 3, I made my own runny egg at home, who's is better? Because the dish didn't have enough protein, I added my own shrimp and more chopped green onions. I also added my own corn just to pretend I had value added to the dish. The 4th picture I posted is a tonkotsu ramen dish from a restaurant I went too during this year and it was less than $18. I did order the rainbow roll, wow, that is an amazing dish. The rice was amazing, great sushi rice with the right amount of vinegar. The avocado, shrimp, sashimi, and the way it was presented, now that is worth $16. Maybe this restaurant should stick to what they are strong at, sushi. Not ramen. read more

Best spot great people great atmosphere , went there and food was delish will come back

New sushi joint that's relatively close to us. We have been excited to try. Pros: - The rolls were fresh and the ingredient proportions were correct. - the service was great (we did take out) - my family enjoyed its food Cons -it was quite overpriced for this level of sushi restaurant. For example, the lunch Chirashi bowl was $40 and it wasn't huge or anything. They may need to reevaluate their pricing compared to others in the area. - the portion of the lunch bento was small. The spicy pork bulgogi was very tasty but even after eating it, I was still hungry. - there was no dressing on my salad. Just a pile of lettuce with a lemon slice on top. We paid $115 for lunch menu food. I had a bento box, hubs, the Chirashi bowl, one sushi + nigiri combo, and finally a kid ate. California roll and a salmon roll. Don't know about the ambiance since we did take our. I would eat there again because I enjoyed the food but it's too expensive for what it is. read more

We've waited FOREVER to have a decent Japanese restaurant that didn't require 30 minutes to get to. Sushi Zoa has filled that and it's legit. It's a somewhat authentic Japanese restaurant (lived in Japan for 6 years) and it's got some nice fusion options. Literally everything we have tried is good. We are now "regulars" which is nice. It's always busy and has been from day one. They've worked out opening week bugs and are running pretty smoothly. The food: The miso soup is among the best I've had. A nice mix of nori and tofu. Each and every roll I've tried is quite good. My favorite is still the deep fried Golden Cali roll. It's boring sure but it's really good. Especially mixed with the fresh wasabi. Every bite of nigiri has been perfect. The size of the fish is now perfect. In some restaurants they can make the fish too thick or long. It makes me gag...literally. Here is close to what I experienced in Japan; a palm sized rice bed with matching fish or eggs. The eel is AMAZING!! Unagi is hard to do right and they do it right. Actually crispy yet tinder. The tamago is amazing. Please add inari. Please. The main courses are outstanding. The Katsu is legit. The waygu hot rock is amazing as well...small, but it's quality over quantity. Oddly the cucumber salad is my favorite. Such a simple thing but it's so refreshing. Next I plan to sample their ramen as I'm a ramen purist and I plan to pass judgement next visit. I've read that the egg is lacking as I expect a nice 8 minute marinaded egg rather than a soft poached egg. We will see. Tried: Lion King Roll Crab Crackers Dozens of rolls: golden CA roll is the best. Dozens of sushi: tamago is amazing Tempura Veg Heart Attack Jalapeños Miso soup: among the best I've had Waygu hot rock Halibut crudo read more

I noticed this new sushi place just up the road from me! It is a bright and clean restaurant that doesn't have the slightest smell of fish, something I look for in a sushi place! They were friendly and acknowledged us right away. We came in at the end of the lunch rush, but they acted like it was no problem. They have an open, airy dining area, but what is cool is they have three rooms that close off if you want a more intimate setting, such an excellent idea!! You can watch them make your rolls at the counter, and I love the wine selection hanging on the wall! They have various choices on the menu, from sushi to Ramen. We ordered sushi, rice, and Ramen and only had one issue, and that was with the crawfish roll. The rolls are a great size, nothing like the dinky ones down the street, and they are fresh!!! This is our new "go-to" for sushi and ramen!! read more

Very friendly and attentive service! The bathrooms are super clean. Overall the food was delicious and met our expectations for a mid-level priced japanese/korean restaurant. There aren't many places around this area that offer korean food so this is a nice addition to the neighborhood. The sushi was good as well. I would recommend the ahi tower, chicken donkkaseu and red dragon roll. read more

Hutto has needed a good place for sushi and they have one now in Sushi Zoa. We stopped in for lunch recently during their soft opening and had a great time there. The sushi bar has plentiful seating and there are several private dining rooms available off to the side of the main seating area. The menu has typical Japanese and Korean options but we opted for the sushi combination and the sashimi combination. Each comes with miso soup and a choice of roll. The soup was really good and tasted like it was homemade, full of flavor and not salty at all. The fish used was very fresh which is a must of course. The portions were a bit small relative to the price although there is a 20% discount off your bill during the soft opening. The service was attentive and friendly. One thing that was a bit strange was the front door being propped open. Hopefully once they get through the opening that will change- it's just a bit off putting with the neighboring gas station and highway. Overall I think this place is off to a good start and we will be returning. Recommended. read more

Context: Similar to previous reviews "it's good for the area". There isn't much out here as it isn't Austin. ** Also please note that this review it is/was still their soft opening ** Staff: AMAZEBALLS! Seriously, Dream was our direct waitstaff and was attentive, on it, hustling. Others too were constantly making sure things were picked up and clean, honestly best service I've seen in a LONG time. Ambiance: What ambiance? Meal: The presentation was beautiful. I'll go through each thing we ordered though as maybe it is different for other items. Miso Soup - Tasted of dirty tap water Gyoza - Specifically we got the Pork Gyoza as there are three options. The outside was lightly crispy and perfect color but then BAM you take a bite and it was a weird "soggy" is the best word for it. Like it was just mush. Sexy Roll - I actually LOVED this roll, seriously. No rice, cucumber wrapped with tons of fish. The wonderful hidden kicker is the ginger and then the eggs to make sure you get a bit on each bite. Lion King Roll - This was.... ummmm.....interesting. Sounded really good/interesting on the menu but epic fail. Zero flavor and the "cheese" was just like an odd texture with no flavor. It wasn't crunchy cheese, not melted cheese, it was like burned plastic. Overall: I think this place has A TON of potential. Looking forward to trying again as they work out the kinks and improve the recipes. read more

Great tasting food and service every time we go. Try new places when we travel but this family of 4 still rates Sushi Zoa the best.

This is a fabulous restaurant, with so much more than sushi! Today, I got a bottle of French wine, a beautiful salad with so many ingredients! It is amazing. I also got shrimp AND chicken shish-kabobs; So good!! I was seated promptly even without a reservation! The seating is ample and comfortable. They have booths, tables and private rooms! They also have sushi bar seating! It's enjoyable watching the sushi chefs do their magic. The food is nothing short of spectacular. Their wine choices are exquisite. As in all types of business. The customer service trumps all. My server is Jonathon. My service is the best it could be. Additionally, I'm watching the other tables. Everyone I have observed is smiling while ordering, That speaks volumes! Fabulous service, wonderful food, great experience. I'll be back!! I'll be requesting Jonathon. This experience could not have been better. Thank you Jonathon and Sushi Zoa! I highly recommend you try this restaurant! read more

Not a fan. Not tasty. Will not order this again. Unable to taste tuna at all. Tuna? is ground up, not cubed, and is flavorless. There is so much food coloring in this dish, it causes me to pause. I could taste the rice. That is good. There was a hint of crab flavor. Not sure real tuna or crab was even used. I believe all of it was imitation seafood. Tastes watered down as well. . The best part of this order was the fried won ton chips. I'm so disappointed to have wasted my time & money . This was so terrible, I had enough after a few bites. I offered it to my pets and they wouldn't eat it either. I ended up ordering sushi from a quality sushi restaurant in Round Rock. Don't waste your money here on Sushi. read more

Placed a to go order for a Friday night and was so happy we tried this place out! Service was fast and easy pick up. Cannot attest to the ambiance from a dine in experience but had ample seating and a bar options to sit at as well. We ordered a spicy Korean ramen, 2 sushi rolls, and the sake mac and cheese. The Mac and cheese was really delicious! I would personally have preferred a tad more sauce but overall flavor was great and reheated well the next day! The sushi rolls we tried were the hungry roll, and the yami yami roll. They also included an additional complimentary roll as a thank you and it was all really delicious! I will definitely be back to try more! read more

Had a funky smell like stagnant water. We should have left after noticing that. Sake Crunch roll was good but the Zoa roll had too many flavors that made it a bit muddled. We had the Chicken paella and the chicken itself was good but the rest seemed over sauced. The staff were nice and polite, maybe we hit a bad night for the kitchen. read more

I will have to say, the sushi here was phenomenal! Not just on flavors but on freshness and presentation. The combination of flavors each roll has was on another level and reminded me of ones back on the Cali coast. I'd say the best was the No name roll for me. It had fresh arugula and thinly sliced jalapeños on top, enhancing the tuna. The service was excellent. Our waiter was on it, despite the place being packed, he always came by checking on us and never kept us waiting too long for service. The ambience is your typical sushi place, nice and cozy. Definitely will be back here again! And definitely will recommend read more
