Came here on a Sunday morning and it was empty. Which is nice but a bit concerning as a first-time guest. Parking is decently okay, my only complaint is the spaces are small and I don't have a big car, just a 4-door sedan and it barely fit in the spot. So if you have a big car or a nice one, I would recommend parking a bit further away and just walking to the restaurant. I am going to focus more on the cooked items as most people here already gave their review on the sushi. Hangover ramen, not too bad. It is like Shin Ramen Instant Noodles with a lighter flavor, nice touch with the bean sprout as it is a needed texture element. Add the gyoza into it and it makes it even better. Cucumber salad, not bad at all. It is missing a bit of spice to it. A touch of chili oil on it would kick this dish up a bit. It is refreshing and a must at the table. Truffle fries, please skip this. No salt on the fries if you are okay with it. It is just a bit of truffle oil and Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. It is lacking in flavor. Yaki Udon, skip this as well. Not sure if it was just the day I went but the sauce was not so great. It was this sweet and sour taste but it was swimming on the bottom of the bowl like the sauce was poured on top of it at the end instead of being stir-fried into it in a wok or a pan. The first few bites are okay but the bottom half is just swimming in that sauce. Spicy Pork Bulgogi, decent size overall, not too bad. I would order like kimchi rice to eat with it next time if I come back. I do wish it was a bit more charred just to give it a bit of a textual element to it. also another thing to note, the bathroom is shared with the restaurant next door to it. read more

Large and modern place with plenty of parking! Did the AYCE sushi (dinner for $38) and it was fine...tried just about every roll flavor since there's only four pieces. None really stood out to me flavor wise. Was expecting the 4 pieces to be thick since it was smaller portions, but that was not the case. Most were thin, but was inconsistent across all the rolls. If it was the lunch price ($27) would be more acceptable, but for $38 expected better. The option to do premium for $20 extra seemed over the top and not worth it. Our waitress was great and very friendly! Overall, would recommend maybe coming during lunch over dinner for fairer pricing. read more

Alejandra was are waitress and she was amazing to begin with! KAN SUSHI is easily one of my favorite sushi spots in Austin. The fish is consistently fresh, the rolls are well-balanced, and everything tastes incredibly clean and high quality. You can tell they really care about presentation and flavor. The atmosphere is modern and comfortable, perfect for anything from a casual lunch to a nice dinner. Service has always been friendly, attentive, and quick without feeling rushed. If you're in Austin and craving sushi, this place is absolutely worth visiting. I'll definitely keep coming back. read more

The food was amazing quality, every dish was so flavorful and unique. My friends and I had the best time while there was awesome music to curate the ambiance. Our server Alejandra was the best and sweetest ever, so patient with us as first time diners!! BTW: PROPS to the lychee martini we loved all the drinks we got!! read more

Kan Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

First off the spot was super classy and my wife and I loved the atmosphere. We came on July 4th and it was super quiet but it was perfect for a nice date! As a person who can't eat a ton of sushi I was a little worried about paying all you can eat pricing but their menu was super diverse, they have great kimchi fried rice and good apps/soups so I was super happy and my wife enjoyed the nigiri and rolls. Next time I want to come back to check out their sake menu! Ashely was our waitress and she was super welcoming and had a warm personality. read more

I opt-ed for the premium option during lunch and I was happy with the options. My only two complaints were the wagyu and the kan salmon. The wagyu looks nothing like the photo and the kan salmon wasn't yummy. Everything else was amazing!! I loved the scallop and the dressing. The salmon to the moon and back I ordered twice. The portion sizes are good, not too small or big. I think this is one of the better AYCE spots in Austin. read more

I've been in twice now, and while I can see the potential -- both of my visits had clear issues, and it's hard to justify trying it further given the higher price point. They aren't very knowledgeable or trained with handling allergens, even though they say they accommodate them. I then had pacing issues, where it took a very long time for any sashimi to come out, but then almost too many orders showing up. It made it difficult to order the right amount, with how out of order and inconsistently paced the orders were. I also had a couple other issues like salmon coming out ice cold, and then the correction being dry and overdone. Many of the items I got were actually very good quality and beautiful, though. I still see the potential, if they could get their consistency down and their allergen knowledge up to speed. read more

This place is a cute all you eat sushi! It's order by the menu and the menu is truly extensive! I enjoyed their salmon Nigiri and galbi ribs! Please load up on that. The rest were good but depending on the rolls it was a hit or a miss for me. I didn't really enjoy the udon but I don't like sweet sauces. The service was prompt and the atmosphere is good. I would say this is good for big groups and chill dates, this isn't a fancy date place in my opinion. If I wanted unlimited nigiri I'll definitely be back! read more

Kan Sushi is an AYCE sushi and KBBQ. You don't cook the meat at your table instead you fill out a menu with the items you are wanting. They will bring everything out to you. Our favorites were the nigiri's and sushi rolls. The appetizers were delicious and unique as well. The noodle dishes were good but not as good as the sushi. We didn't get much of the KBBQ meat but what we did order was delicious! The service was great, very attentive and friendly. Would definitely go back! read more

Meh. I'll start by saying the rolly polly roll was delicious. We ordered like 8 of them. Except when one came out with cream cheese instead of crab on accident, I almost vomited. I hate cream cheese. The rest of the fish was just not good. It was nice the rice to fish ratio much more fish but it would have been nice if the fish tasted better. The portions were also very small. Dessert and drinks are not included in AYCE, drinks were expensive $15+. Maybe I'll try this place again the longer it's around. Probably not! read more

Kan Sushi - Roly poly - Sushi Bars Near Me - Austin, Texas

Kan Sushi has become my favorite AYCE (All-You-Can-Eat) sushi place in town! I used to go to Machi Sushi (located in southern Austin), but after this place opened and trying it a couple of times now, I personally think the seafood is more fresh here! I particularly like the fact that the sashimi slices are surprisingly thick and the rice to seafood ratio on the nigiri items is incredible (i.e. more protein than rice). Although you have to pay an additional $20 for the premium menu (which comes with the carpaccio sushi, sashimi, premium rolls and appetizers, and even Korean BBQ dishes), I think it's definitely worth the extra cost! I understand that there have been mixed reviews about the service and accuracy but thankfully, the waiters have been very attentive both times that I've been there. If you're a bit hesitant because of the mixed reviews, then I recommend coming for lunch (the prices are cheaper) so that you can feel out the place without committing to a higher price tag! Some of my favorite dishes here include: Truffle Salmon (Nigiri), Yellowtail and Tuna Carpaccio, Salmon Sashimi, Hamachi Kama (Appetizer), Salmon Kama (Appetizer), Calamari (Fried Squid), Galbi, and the Beef Bulgogi! read more

Just don't. This place is overpriced, badly run, and a hygiene risk. I'm warning you: skip Kan Sushi. The service is chaotic, the food handling is questionable, and for what they charge, it's honestly kind of insulting ($38 dinner price +$20 premium price. Otherwise no sashimi). 1. First round took 90 mins -- and felt rigged We ordered a full first round, but only got part of it. After finishing what they brought, our server asked if we "still wanted the rest" (which was part of the original order). Only then did the kitchen start making the rest. Sushi came first, sashimi at the very end -- felt like they were trying to fill us up early. 2. Sashimi requires "manager approval"? Over an hour in, we asked about our sashimi and got told they needed manager approval to serve it. It's all-you-can-eat -- why is that even a thing? 3. They tried to take back food we already touched Dishes kept getting mixed up. At one point, they dropped off sashimi, someone at our table started eating it, then the server came back and tried to take it back to another table. That's just nasty. 4. Found plastic in our sushi -- and they didn't care We literally found a piece of plastic wrap inside a roll. Showed it to the manager -- he brushed it off, then blamed a "trainee." No apology, no ownership, just took one person off the bill like that made it okay. Eating plastic in raw fish is not a small thing. 5. Whole service vibe = chaos Nobody seemed to know what they were doing. Communication was awful. And for the price? Definitely not worth it. read more

I would say this is definitely the best AYCE sushi spot in Austin, but be mindful that AYCE sushi can really only be so good. I think the price is ridiculous (paid almost $80 with tax and tip), so that alone does not warrant another visit. The concept of AYCE is really nice, but with such a large menu that promises a lot of higher end pieces, our orders were so backed up. At that point, we couldn't remember what had come and what hadn't and at the end, we were so overwhelmed with so many new plates because we were on our third round of ordering and the first round hadn't fully come yet. Again, in concept, it's super nice but in execution when the team is having to make a million tiny plates... it falls flat. Everything across the board is pretty hit or miss. The plates that were good were really good and the plates that were bad were really bad. The sashimi tasted and looked really strange. There's also something they call Kan Sushi, and the color just doesn't look right. One of my friends was the only one courageous enough to try it, and he said there was a very strange coating on the fish. The vibes are really nice and it's owned by the same restaurant group as Gen, which happens to be right next door. I like that they offer KBBQ plates as well as sushi plates. Would I come back again? Probably not... for $80, I think my money is better spent elsewhere. read more

Austin doesn't have a lot of AYCE sushi spots, but this one would definitely be considered one of the better ones. Decent quality (as good as AYCE sushi can get), large menu, but pricy for what it is - even as AYCE. For dinner, it's $38.95/person - and that's without the +$20/person add on for "premium" menu items. Lunch is about $10 cheaper and if I ever revisited I'd probably stick to the lunch price, as I don't think the dinner price is worth it for me. The most value for your money is obviously in the sushi, but the hot apps and other menu items were pretty good. Service can vary. Since we arrived before the dinner rush (and dined on a weeknight), our food came out pretty quickly. Their paper system isn't the best, but it's not terrible as long as your server is attentive. Toward the end as it got busier, the wait time for food grew longer. Overall, I thought the sushi rolls were good and the nigiri just okay. For the price point I'd rather dine at a higher quality sushi spot and just pay for better fish bites, but I don't think it's that bad if you know what you're in for and just want the AYCE experience. read more

Newer AYCE sushi spot in Austin that plankton is the best in town. I liked it better than bang bang or Junai. Lots of seating inside, and you can choose between regular price or premium which adds $20 per person but gives you a larger selection to choose from. Honestly I think just the regular Definitely no need to over order as you have 90 minutes, but I will say the nigiri pieces are on the smaller side. Our favorites were the salmon and pepper salmon nigiri, the udon pasta, and the shrimp nigiri. Definitely worth trying out if you're into AYCE sushi. read more

We tried Kan Sushi last night after seeing some of y'all's reviews, and we were pleasantly surprised. Pricing: * Regular Lunch: $28.95 | Regular Dinner: $38.95 * Premium Upgrade: +$20 per person * A La Carte: Uni ($11.95 for 2 pcs), A5 Wagyu Nigiri ($13.95 for 2 pcs), A5 Wagyu Grill ($35.95), and desserts Since we're not big AYCE sushi people, we opted for premium and compared a few regular menu items. The difference was clear--premium actually tastes like normal sushi, not the usual dry, gummy buffet-style fish. The sushi keeps coming, so I'd recommend eating as you go to enjoy it fresh. What we had: * Fatty Cuts: Snowflake Salmon, Truffle Salmon, Short Rib, Ikura * Leaner Cuts: Carpaccio, which had a cleaner taste * Soft Shell Crab: Fresh, not canned, and generously portioned * Takoyaki: Flavorful with real squid pieces * Udon Pasta: No idea what was in it, but it tasted amazing--almost like pizza sauce * Inari Unagi (Eel Tofu Pockets): Obsessed with these! Sweet, savory, and just incredibly delicious * Prime Cut Nigiri (Regular Menu): The only thing we didn't like--tough meat and overpowered by teriyaki sauce The pieces were small because they didn't overload the rice like most AYCE spots. In most cases, there was more fish than rice, which is respectable--you can just order more. A5 Wagyu Grill ($34.95) The A5 Wagyu was buttery and rich but a bit tricky to cook. You need to balance not overcooking it while ensuring the fat renders properly. We first grilled one cube at a time but quickly realized it's best to cook them all at once before the flame dies down. Dessert - Great Texture & Fresh The Hōkkien (Hokkein) Mochi with Matcha Ice Cream was a standout. The mochi had an amazing crunchy-chewy texture, perfectly sweet without being overpowering, while the ice cream was smooth, creamy, and not bitter at all--a perfect way to end the meal. Service - Excellent because Corp Service was top-notch, likely due to the corporate crowd. Our waiter was a lead trainer, and even the managers and president stopped by tables. They were so attentive that if they saw me even thinking about taking a photo, they scattered and welcomed me to do so. It's like the opposite of paparazzi for them! Final Verdict - With premium and a la carte upgrades, the price adds up. I didn't like the regular dishes we ordered. So it comes down to relatively whether you want to have tons of variety or not. If you're looking for the best AYCE sushi experience right now, I think this is it imo. read more

Overall, I'm really impressed with Kan Sushi. There aren't many great AYCE (All You Can Eat) sushi spots in Austin, and after trying them all, Kan Sushi stands out as the best for the price. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the fish and the generous portion sizes. We sampled a bit of everything, and the rice-to-fish ratio was just right--they don't load you up with rice and skimp on the fish like many other places. The rolls were also surprisingly good, each with its own distinct flavor. As an extra treat, the manager generously offered us some Bluefin Tuna Sashimi--an off-menu item--which was absolutely delicious. Hands down, Kan Sushi has the freshest fish of any AYCE sushi spot in Austin. As a Korean, I found the Korean food options to be what you'd expect for Austin. They're not the most authentic, but they're decent and still enjoyable. Since it was our first visit, we opted for the regular AYCE option instead of the premium, thinking we'd upgrade next time if we liked it--and we definitely will. The regular menu had plenty of variety and we left feeling completely satisfied. The staff were all friendly, attentive, and clearly hard-working. I appreciated how the servers helped one another, making sure every table was taken care of promptly. It was clear they understood what it takes to run a smooth restaurant operation. The lighting was a bit dim, similar to a steakhouse vibe, but honestly, I stopped noticing once the food arrived--it was that good. read more

If you actually enjoy sushi, SKIP Kan Sushi. With the latest AYCE trend on the rise, I wanted to give Kan a try, especially considering the only other locations Kan Sushi has are located in Miami and Honolulu. The Standard ($38.95) and Premium menus both offer Korean BBQ options, but in my opinion, the premium's extra charge (+$20) wasn't worth it--especially since neither menu offers raw fish in their rolls. Instead, you'll find various renditions of tempura, imitation crab, &/or spicy tuna rolls. Outside of the carpaccio offerings on the premium menu, there wasn't anything that would convince me otherwise to spend the extra money. To order, you'll be given a form with a golf pencil where you can select your offerings from there. I ordered green tea, miso soup, and a variety of sushi pieces along with two rolls. When my food arrived, my disappointment only grew. If you're a fan of green tea, don't bother--it's served from a tea bag. As for the miso soup, it was lukewarm, not even close to the temperature that touches your soul. I was starving, so I didn't bother complaining, unlike the table next to me. They had to reorder their soup three times, left rolls untouched, and were so clearly distraught that it only made me feel more tense. The only redemption for both parties was the salmon sushi, which featured a thick cut of salmon atop a small bed of rice. Given the better AYCE options nearby, I'd recommend passing on this one. read more

Big swing and a miss. We came in with high hopes, but unfortunately left disappointed. To be fair, there were a few bright spots, the beef bulgogi was flavorful, the shrimp tempura was crisp and light, and the salmon bites were tasty. That said, we did not order from the premium menu, and based on our experience, we won't likely be returning. The real issue was the service. Our server carried a combative attitude toward other tables, and at one point pulled a coworker over right beside us to chastise him. Having that kind of exchange hovering over your meal is extremely uncomfortable. These matters should be handled privately, not in front of guests trying to enjoy dinner. Also, please note not all menu options posted online are available here (hand rolls, negitoro, etc.) Good food can't quite make up for poor hospitality and in Austin's dining scene, that's enough to send us looking elsewhere. read more

A good value at both lunch and dinner AYCE prices. You get a variety of items at Kan Sushi for your money. You can get rolls, inari, hot appetizers, noodles, nigiri, and Korean bbq. I especially liked how you can get galbi from the dinner menu. Everything is served tapas style and so the fear of over ordering and getting charged for waste is minimal. For example a serving of 2pcs of nigiri is more like 1pc. The rolls are 4pc rolls. The appetizers come in 2 or 4 etc. I didn't quite like the nigiri here at all. Just didn't taste that fresh to me. I did enjoy everything else. Ordering is easy they give you a big book with pictures of everything. You mark on the sheet what you want and once they get your order they circle the items they received and you get the sheet back for the next round. Food comes as soon as it's ready with the sushi items coming out sooner than the others. Though it was off to me that the miso soup came towards the end. I did order a mixed cocktail and you pay for that separately from the food which made checkout a little extra. The place looks nice inside with a dark interior. Though kind of dated. Will I go again? Perhaps if I'm looking for kbbq and sushi in AYCE option but I find I can just go to south Austin to Buffet Palace and get a similar offering. read more

The service here was terrible. There was only one server in the entire restaurant and she was ignoring our table.

We came in on a Saturday for an 11:00am brunch and there was only one other table dining in. They had GEN kbbq packaged beef jerky on display at the host stand, so we were confused because we thought we walked into Kan Sushi but we were second guessing that, but the host explained they share a kitchen with GEN. Our server, Draven, was helpful and came by our table often to check up on us. They give you a paper and a gold pencil so you can mark which dishes you want to order each round. We chose to do the regular all you can eat since the premium menu was $20 extra, so we were limited to the items on the regular menu. The garlic butter edamame was excessive covered in garlic, the deep-fried squid was tender, crispy chicken wing was juicy, the baked mussel was fresh, the beef belly honey soy bbq was flavorful, and the cucumber salad was so nicely marinated that we ordered it twice. For rolls, we tried a yaki salmon, which I didn't care for, and a roly poly which was refreshing and protein packed. For sushi (nigiri), we chose buttery shrimp, seared tuna, yellowtail, freshwater eel, and bonito salmon. The fish was long and thick, but the rice kept falling apart for the freshwater eel nigiri since it was drizzled with eel sauce, so we left some rice on the plate. The hangover ramen was so hefty, so we were glad we ordered it for the last round. I would recommend this place for a friend get together so you can share and try different dishes but be wise of the foods you order if you want to get your money's worth. read more

I'm writing this review on the car ride home after trying Kan, and I'm incredibly disappointed. I normally don't leave reviews, but this experience was frustrating enough that I felt compelled to share. After dining at Sushi Warriors, I read a review from The Infatuation that strongly criticized them and recommended Kan instead for high-quality AYCE sushi. Their review from Kan also sings them praises. Based on that, I drove over 40 minutes from Georgetown because I've been searching for a truly great AYCE spot. Unfortunately, Kan did not deliver and we will probably never return. Service: We spent nearly two hours at the restaurant, and the wait for food was excessive. After placing a large AYCE order, we waited 20-30 minutes without receiving anything before finally getting the seaweed and cucumber salads--arguably the simplest items we ordered. I also ordered hot sake and was served a visibly dirty cup with smudges and a piece of paper stuck to it. It took over 15 minutes of trying to flag down our server before I had to ask another staff member for a clean cup, as no one had come near our table during that time. Because I had to wait so long to start drinking the sake it got cold very quickly and ended up being a wasted purchase. We asked one of the servers if they were short-staffed, and he mentioned it was his first day and he was wondering the same thing because there were only two servers were covering the entire floor and he was just trying to help where he could. While I felt bad for the staff, the restaurant wasn't very busy, which made the slow service even more surprising. I saw several tables seem to have the same frustrations with not getting their food after waiting forever and having to walk up to a server to get their assistance. Food: The food ranged from just okay to genuinely bad. We paid an additional $20 per person on top of the $38.95 AYCE price to access the "premium" menu, largely because the regular menu doesn't include sashimi. Unfortunately, the premium items were average at best and, in some cases, unpleasant. Nothing tasted particularly fresh. Several items, including the tuna sashimi, had a strong fishy flavor. We kept ordering in hopes that things would improve, but the quality continued to decline. Even the wasabi looked off--it had a brownish tint and lacked flavor. The shrimp tempura was also a miss even when it's normally the safest pick at other AYCE places. Overall, the food looked nothing like the photos on the menu. Overall: At $38.95 for the regular AYCE plus an additional $20 for premium items, this place is extremely overpriced given the slow service and low food quality--especially on a Friday night with only two servers on the floor. I'll gladly return to Sushi Warriors, where the food comes out quickly, tastes fresh, and offers much better value, even if it's less visually elaborate. read more

We arrived at Kan Sushi around 1:30 on a weekday. There was a short wait (cool, expected), but while standing there, I should've paid more attention to the swirling chaos happening in the tiny front area. It was giving "we just opened five minutes ago and lost our whole staff, and we have no clue what we are doing here" energy. After 15 minutes, we're seated and handed a form to fill out--with "levels" of menus. We wisely chose to stay at Level 1 (aka: baller on a budget), because we like to sample before spending upper-level cash. Spoiler: thank goodness we did. We ordered a solid variety: Edamame (easy win, right?) - Safe. You'd have to try hard to mess this up. Truffle fries - Cold. Sad. Possibly an ancient artifact. Hard pass. Deep fried squid - Genuinely awful. Tasted like it had been cooked in 1997 and reheated for our visit. Korean chicken wings - we thought they had forgotten these, but they arrived at the very end, like a dramatic plot twist... written badly. No awards here. Tiger Roll, Dragon Roll, Bonnie & Clyde, Salmon Skin, Bacon Pork Belly, Beef Bulgogi - Let's just say... HEB sushi tastes better, and I don't even like HEB sushi. That's how uninspired these were. Salmon, albacore, and tuna sushi - this was all "ok" On the service side, things got even more surreal. We were halfway through our food before water even made an appearance. No one offered us drinks, asked if we wanted anything else - it was weird. Waters went empty and stayed empty. The food came out in random waves--some dishes we didn't even order (???), some came twice, and most were lukewarm at best. Our server was a mess and just completely missed the mark on the entire "service" aspect. Eventually, I just stood up, walked over to our server not he other side of the restaurant, and said, "We're done. Please cancel anything else heading our way." I've never done that at a restaurant before. It felt like I was breaking up with a toxic situationship. My final recommendation? Kan, baby, I want to see you win, but please get a new system. Train your staff. Organize your flow. And for the love of all things raw and rolled, serve food that didn't spend time in the microwave first. Would I go back? No. read more

Should have read the reviews before coming. 5pm on a Friday, no one there but us... food was not good. $40 wasted. Poor quality and odd sushi rolls. For $40 I feel like there aren't enough options.

Kan Sushi takes the title of best AYCE sushi in Austin for me. I went during lunch hours on a Monday for the cheaper price ($27 for lunch prices but it doesn't include Friday and weekends, regular price is $39. +$20 for premium option which includes more options and sashimi) we ordered the regular option. After tip and tax, it was around $34 so definitely great value! Unlike a lot of other AYCE places, the ratio of fish to rice is great. Each piece is tiny and they take a while to come but for the quality of fish, it is super worth it. read more

Let's start with the fish at Kan Sushi is one of the more fresh sushi spots in ATX. I will say in general the food was very good from the fries, takoyaki, different assortment of rolls, and the sashimi, everything was pretty tasty. My least favorite of the food has to be the ribeye sushi pieces, which were cold, and honestly pretty gross to eat, besides this everything was pretty good. Service wise everything was good, it was a little hard to understand some explanations from our waiter. It was pretty loud, and they spoke pretty quietly so we had to ask them to repeat their comments a bunch of times. I think the reason why I couldn't give 4 stars on this was the waste of some of the sashimi we got, which was "complimentary", and even though we let the waiter know we weren't to interested in eating Tuna, they still continued to bring out extra pieces of Tuna. We commented a couple of times that we weren't going to eat it, and instead of not including it the next time, it was right there sitting on our next sashimi plate. I hate wasting food, and we always do our best to finish everything on our plate/what we ordered. But the fact Kan Sushi was okay with us wasting this fish was a little disappointing. I am sure I'll be back hopefully they change their policy with giving extra food in the future. read more

Pretty solid place for AYCE sushi! I was surprised about the quality of the fish. Pretty decent. My favorite nigiri was actually the scallop! I am usually not a fan of seared salmon or tuna but their truffle nigiri was pretty good. Loved the sashimi plate. The baked mussels were excellent. Perfect flavoring and combination of sweet and savory. We came with a big group and our waiter Anthony was wonderful. He went above and beyond to make sure our needs were met. I would definitely come back with a smaller group so we can order in a more controlled environment lol forgot to note that their bbq dishes were very flavorful as well! Definitely recommend the galbi. read more

Pretty good quality sushi for an all you can eat place. Especially for the price. (Unlike the one sushi place with the conveyor belts that I shall not name ) The standard has more than enough good choices. You get limited 1.5 hrs a session (1 hr when it's busy, like Mother's Day) but that's more than enough. The rolls come in 4 an order so you can try more of everything. I wouldn't get the k bbq options that just cause it was not as good as the sushi. Or server was nice and fast. When you are done you can cancel all queued up orders. read more

Came here for a Saturday AYCE lunch for ~$40. Overall, it's probably more of a 3.5 but I'm going to round down because service was a bit slow. There were some items we ordered that never came and we ended up just leaving instead of waiting. For the food itself... The fish quality was hit or miss. The first round of salmon was great but then in following rounds, the tuna and yellowtail looked kind of sad. I surprisingly enjoyed the rolls more than the sushi (except for the Krazy Krab which honestly made me gag... butter doesn't really belong on sushi...) Outside of sushi, I enjoyed the option to have Korean BBQ. The pork bulgogi and honey soy beef belly were good but the galbi was unfortunately dry. read more

Alejandra was a great waitress! The food was very good, particularly the rolls and the KBBQ. Definitely will return! read more

Upon entering, my party was greeted promptly by the host. The decor is very modern and clean. We ate the AYCE premium sushi buffet selection, where I only paid the $20 add on for premium because the regular buffet does not have sashimi- so $68 total. $68 is kind of expensive for a sushi buffet but this place might be worth it. Kan is right next to Gen, where the regular sushi buffet does include Korean bbq option suchas Galbi. The premium also offer premium nigiri options that make the premium price worth considering. My highlight ls include the soft shell crab, the Kan special, galbi, and Japanese scallop. I'll definitely be back. read more

Exciting to have another AYCE sushi spot in Austin! We've been eagerly awaiting Kan Sushi's opening, and it definitely did not disappoint. The menu featured a solid variety of sushi rolls, sashimi, appetizers, and even some Kan BBQ dishes. The sushi was fresh, and I appreciated the generous fish-to-rice ratio, which really enhanced the flavor. The food came out quickly, and the service was top-notch--attentive and patient throughout. Interior space was clean, inviting, and nicely designed. Thank you to all the sushi chefs, managers, and servers for providing an excellent experience and for staying late so we could finish up. read more

I came around 9 pm and was quickly seated. We paid for premium which included the common sashimi like salmon, yellowtail, tuna etc. I enjoyed the selections that the premium all you can eat provided and tried the fried soft shell crab, deep fried oyster, carpaccio and more. I also asked them to seared the scallops and it just melts in your mouth like butter. I love it! Overall, this place is pricey at $60 per person for dinner but their food was really good and quality. They don't try to overwhelm you with rice like the other places. One downside is that it took a lot of time in between to prep the food each round. read more
