    Wagyu nigiri
    Cam H.

    If you're a fan of nigiri, this spot is a must-visit. Their nigiri pieces are HUGE. I thought it was worth the price. Each piece was generously portioned with thick cuts of fresh, flavorful fish that melt in your mouth. What really stood out was the thoughtful garnishes -- each one added a subtle layer of umami that made every bite feel distinct and intentional, rather than just fish on rice. My personal favorites were the scallop, salmon belly, and wagyu. They were incredibly buttery, rich, and perfectly balanced. The toro, which is usually my go-to at sushi restaurants, was a bit of a letdown here. It lacked the fattiness I usually crave, but everything else more than made up for it. Overall, it's a great place if you're looking for quality nigiri that feels both traditional and creative. Service was good.

    A new sushi gem in Austin! From the moment you walk in, the space gives off omakase vibes elegant, intimate, and stylish but the experience is refreshingly casual and much more affordable than a true omakase. The restaurant only has high-top tables, which adds to its chic, modern feel. I didn't know what to expect when my friends brought me here, but wow I was blown away. The cuts of fish for the nigiri were incredibly generous almost too big to fit in one bite and every piece was fresh and flavorful. The hand rolls were absolutely packed and just as delicious. My favorites were the wagyu, toro, tuna, yellowtail, pickled cucumber, and chu-toro. Everything tasted high-quality and well worth the price. They also have a solid wine and sake selection. I had a cup of sake that was tasty but quite small for $9 next time I'll definitely go for the $35 bottle instead. This place is 100% going on my go-to sushi list. Can't wait to come back again!

    I've been to the other Yuki Handroll Bar location, and this one is very similar. The actual handrolls are quite tasty and the price isn't bad at all. I also like how large the nigiri fish pieces are, and you're getting a good bang for your buck. One thing that did really annoy me was that I was very clear when I first came in that I wanted some handrolls and nigiri pieces to go but that I'd order after I was done dining in, and they placed that order for dine in... but I hadn't even given my dine in order yet because I was waiting for my friend to arrive. I had to pay extra for the dine in pieces of nigiri that I meant for take out, and those pieces I did not want for myself. I ended up paying an extra $40-50 because they didn't fix the mistake.

    Great sashimi. Not much a fan of the hand rolls or nigiri only because I am not able to consume white starch. Amazing big slices of fresh tuna, yellowtail and salmon. I was full! The clam miso hit the spot for me. The edamame was served best that I expected, peeled and more fresh in my palate. The server was nice, although he was the only one but good thing the ratio was good enough. No booths, just high bars. I think I'd prefer booths though I think it's a sushi bar thing, the squat tables I still prefer. Not too comfy, though I like that they have hooks for purses under the table. The sushi bar---though unable to understand us, the server was always ready to translate. The food quality was worth the price. I'd say for sashimi---highly recommended!

    I like the way Yuki rolls! In a city that lacks handroll options, I'm pleased to see that Yuki's seconds location is in the north end and still maintains the same level of quality. There's a decent amount of seating at the bar where you can watch the sushi chefs at work. You can order individual handroll or you can get a 3, 4 or 5 handroll set, which is a better value. Once I placed my order, the handrolls seemed to arrive pretty quickly. All in all, it was a great experience and definitely plan on returning.

    Definitely enjoyed having a late lunch here after a movie down the road. There's wrap around seating around the sushi bar. You order with magic markers on a sheet and you can fill in with the chalkboard specials as well. I got 2 rolls and 2 orders of nigiri and a clam miso soup. The soup was good but would have liked more than 4 clams but the broth was tasty. The nigiri is huge each peice is like two pieces of fish and not overwhelmed with sushi rice too. The fish is good quality and buttery. Will definitely order more nigiri or sashimi next time. The hand rolls are pretty good too like mini tacos but sushi and seaweed wrapper. Service was very attentive and it was nice to see the two ladies behind the counter assemble the nigiri and hand rolls. This place is definitely more value for money than the hand roll place downtown and probably equally as good fish. If you are near 620 this is your stop.

    We had a lovely date here on Friday right when the doors opened at 11 am. I don't think my six and three years old would be able to come because of the seating layout. Many of my neighborhood moms raved about their hand rolls so to support the business, it was a must to pop in for a visit. Kevin made sure we knew what we were doing and was friendly and helpful the entire time. Other staff also checked on us periodically to make sure we had a great experience. Anyway, once we marked our order on the laminated sheet, they started working. We were never rushed and they would actually check every so often to see if we finished our food before making the next roll. I ordered 3 hand rolls (scallop, crab, and yellowtail) plus the anago special to share with my husband and felt quite full. The scallop and crab handrolls were nice but the seasoning made it a little hard to taste the ingredients. The presentation of the anago was amazing and fun. However they're on the sweeter side and we're more into traditional presentations. We were well taken care of by the staff. We sat in at 11 am and left at 11:30am sharp. It's an appropriate place to grab a quick fancy lunch during the weekday. Come give them a try and support. We need more businesses here!

    A welcome addition to the neighborhood im the old Nik's Italian building The first thing you notice is how the restaurant is mostly stool seating around the meal prep area where you see the chefs at work. In addition to hand rolls they have sushi, nigiri, a few appetizers, and.dessert. My suhi and handrolls were very tasty and fresh. The waiter was friendly and very helpful.

    Fun atmosphere!

    Love this White glove sushi, Intimate, chill-luscious vibe. They are very passionate about prep. Bar style is very posh! Definitely worth the visit.

    Great little place for some generously sized ngiri and temaki. You have to be a proper sushi lover, not the douse everything with mayo, avocado and soy sauce type. Not a giant menu but they have some good selection of fresh fishes including kanpachi, chu toro... Hard to tell from pics but each of those ngiri is 2 regularly sized ones at any other place. Even though not one of our top favorite sushi places in Austin I am grateful for it since it's so close to where we live, and we don't have to drive to central Austin or downtown to quell our sushi cravings!

    Didn't get any hand rolls at the restaurant but decided to order regular sushi rolls for delivery. Packaging was beautiful (wood) and the many different rolls we tried (salmon and cucumber, spicy California, dragon, avocado cucumber, etc) were all fresh and tasty, although on the sloppy side - half of the pieces fell apart once we picked them up - but overall, taste wise, absolutely worth it. Rice was perfect texture. Really looking forward to dining in.

    Good food, solid traditional rolls. Would like to see a spicy tuna on there but I understand that's not what they are going for.

    Soto's happy hour is a fantastic deal, especially when they have it on the daily. This is by far my…read morewife's favorite restaurant and we regularly go here for date night. For roughly $60 the wife was full and we had roughly 6 dishes and one cocktail (I was still slightly hungry). Think of it as more of a tapas style ordering. Soft shelled crab - My absolute favorite and by far the best dish! Crispy from the breading, soft shell and subtle crab taste, and to top it off the fried egg adds some creaminess from the yolk. Not greasy at all due to the way it's fried. And who doesn't like a little microgreen to add some freshness to it?! It could likely use a little more salt, and this particular time the yolk was a overcooked. Sushi Tacos - 2nd favorite! You get two, and frankly I prefer not sharing these (although my wife forced me to). It's such a unique dish. Each taco is palm sized. They take a yummy piece of laver (seaweed), coat one side and deep fry it to make a nice hard shell taco casing. Then they fill it with sushi rice, top it with plentiful tuna, add a slice of avocado, and top it with micro greens. Refreshing, light (once you squeeze the tiny lime on top), slightly filling due to the rice, and absolutely delicious. Takoyaki - I'm not a fan, but the wife is. For me it's a texture thing. Even when visiting Japan I didn't enjoy this dish. Honestly though I do think it deserves far more bonito flakes, as the dish is meant to look alive from the waving flakes. Honestly we love this place so much, I always get engrossed in the food so much I forget to take pics. The overall ambience is chill and refined, albeit no white tableclothes, but it acts like it should have them. This location gets busy during dinner time, however during happy hour it's rarely even 1/4 full. Monday's the happy hour is all day!

Our server said she would remove it from the bill, which I appreciated--but the manager refused. Instead, he insisted I pay for it and even tried to pressure me into eating it. The lack of flexibility and understanding made an already frustrating situation worse. We don't go out to eat often, so this was especially disappointing. Overall, the service was poor and not how customers should be treated.

    TLDR: Pro: authentic Japanese restaurant with food prepped to order…read more Con: lunch menu is minimum two item order which wasn't clear, and they prepare the food with way too much salt The restaurant is authentic which was a huge win for me. The lunch menu wasn't very straightforward so when I got my bill in the end I was a little surprised to see it came to $18, instead of $10. I guess I could have asked when I ordered, but the menu clearly lists mackerel is $8.50, so I didn't quite get that the lady/owner/mgr meant you have to order two entree items for the lunch menu, so its not like a typical lunch special at a set price for the listed price. It felt a little deceiving so it wasnt a great feeling, i guess i should have picked up on it when she said two items. But I wish it could have clearly stated that on the menu when i was reviewing it, i would have just opted for one entree on the menu instead had i realized that sooner. The fish was fine but $20/worth idk. I will say the meal was actually cooked to order. The downside for me in terms of the meal was the salt bomb all over my meal, starting with the salad which was a very small amount of greens to the amount of salad dressing they topped it with. The miso soup was made with miso but very strongly seasoned making me want to water it down. The edamame were good but once again so much added salt on it. The mackerel was good, but yet again the excessive amount of salt made it very difficult to enjoy the meal from start to finish. The vibe is a small dining area with minimal frill, and a small counter with seating where the sushi chef is to make rolls/sashimi. The lady is very attentive and the food is made with care, I just wish they would hold back on the salt. I left feeling very parched due to the amount of sodium I ingested from the preparation. Overall this restaurant is a great Japanese restaurant, I wouldn't mind going back. If - minus the miso soup, I wonder if I could request no added salt to my food in the cook process. Aside from how they may have prepped the fish before cooking, if for example it gets pre-seasoned in salt that's one thing, but no additional salt when cooking. I recommend you give it a shot, its a rare find to see a Japanese restaurant ran my a Japanese family, which was a nice surprise.
