    This place will give you the best bang for your buck for all you can eat sushi. Or you can order rolls a la carte. Their sushi is really good and the menu provides a numerous amount of options. The menu is also entertaining to read, if you look at the different names of their rolls Service is always attentive and great. The ambience is dark lit with TVs playing sports and music playing but it's quiet enough to have a nice conversation. I recommend the Shrimp Tempura Roll and Golden California Roll.

    Wasabi and ginger the right way!

    Phenomenal service, fresh fish the way it should be! You can come with kids also and they have great choices. Udon noodles, nigiri, etc. great place.

    Food (5/5): A budget friendly sushi option! Sushi Junai could benefit from condensing their sushi roll menu a bit since all the options were quite overwhelming. They do not shy away from saucing their rolls, which I like! But could be a bit overwhelming. Some of my favorite rolls included: - Long horn - Casanova - Black Jack - Ex-Girlfriend Everything we ordered was so good!! Since we did AYCE, I'm pretty sure we ordered more than 10 plates, including some of their sashimi options. Service (5/5): it was fair, they did what had to be done, not many complaints. Ambiance (4/5): Overall it was fine, but could've benefitted from more space, to be fair though it is a "hole in the wall" restaurant. However, be prepared to wait for a while. Final verdict: It's not the best quality sushi but for the price, I feel like it was a worth it & I'd definitely come back!

    Note: this is a review for a la carte, not AYCE. Funny enough, a lot of sushi spots in the downtown area are closed around 3pm, so we went to the one spot that was open. I gotta say, from the outside, this street has a little bit of a run-down feel. We didn't have the highest of expectations coming in. But Sushi Junai did meet those expectations. Their flavors are on-point. We ordered the Cucumber Passion, Ex-Girlfriend, and Casanova sushi rolls as well as the Monkey Brain appetizer. Everything tasted great but I would say the Cucumber Passion was the best of the bunch. My suggestion: consider this as a strong "budget" option if you're craving sushi rolls. A specialty roll costs roughly $13-14, which sadly is quite a bargain in today's economy. Their sauces are tasty but you will notice that the fish cuts maaaay just be a bit thinner than some other spots. You get what you pay for! I will say that their menu is somewhat dizzying - there are just too many roll options. I think the owners could benefit from consolidating some choices and improving their menu with photos.

    One of our go -to places while in Austin. The sushi is absolutely amazing. I love the vibe. It is definitely a business that needs all the recognition. We always get great service & amazing food! It's a must while in Austin especially if you are visiting the capitol. It is close by! The price is well worth it as well. We personally choose to pay per roll

    I love me some sushi and enjoy the all you can eat sushi for a set price as it gets me out of my bubble to try new things without breaking the bank. We came on a Friday evening and luckly got sat right away at one of the last tables available. Our server was great and checked on us in a timely manor, food came out quick and the entire meal was right. We started with the spicy garlic edamame which blows any other out of the water I can truly say it's the best around, that I have had at least. - 5/5 The mushroom caps were great, baked mushroom with crab mix and cheese baked inside, they dynamite is also tasty and pretty mush the same thing just add scallops and onions. Both 5/5 I was kind of disappointed in the black Jack roll but have previously enjoyed it at the north locations.3.5/5 The peppered tuna was okay 4/5 but I did not care for the hamachi tuna. 2/5 The monkey brain is basically a tempura fried mushroom cap with some sauces on top- we really enjoyed 5/5. Who's your ex wife was deep fried jalapeño- 5/5 Hot night roll wasn't great either didn't have the spice I was looking for 2/5. Ty ai poke was great, fish seemed pretty fresh 4.5/5 Tuna taco was a tostada and I'd give it 3/5. Affagato tasted like hot chocolate, not espresso but the I cream was tasty 3/5 If your looking for the best bang for your buck this place is a solid go to but seems I enjoy the appetizers much more then the actual rolls , so there's that. Space is pretty small about 15 tables in total.

    Nigiri, rolls

    Amazing ayce sushi spot near UT campus!! Service is great, and the resraurant and casual and clean! We ordered multiple rounds of food. Really loved the nigiri! The fish was fresh, and each piece was pretty big! The rolls were also fantastic and filling! For dessert, we got strawberry and green tea mochi with whipped cream and chocolate drizzle! They were super nice to cute them into fourths since we had a large group and wanted to share!

    Would give the food 3 stars but overall with price considered it scrapes by 4. The fish quality is ok. You could easily get better quality at some Japanese grocery. However if you get the all you can eat AND come hungry then this place is great. Tons of variety for you to try.

    Beer and sushi makes me happy
    Robert F.

    Great atmosphere and convenient to the campus and downtown hotels. The prices are incredibly reasonable. I tried the red devil and was surprised by the quality of the tuna and taste. The staff is very friendly and I will definitely come back on the next trip

    Great! Just amazing! We ordered ex-girlfriend the Diablo Casanova yellowtail and salmon sishi and the Mexican. Great! They threw in some rare yellowtail belly!

    AYCE sushi at Sushi Junai made me so happy. I've ordered a la carte here before, but the AYCE lunch deal is worth it if you are capable of eating more than $28 worth of food. This is what I ordered: Ex girlfriend: $15.50, good shrimp tempura, one of my favourites. Final destination: $15.50, very good. Sashimi special: $14.95, some solid sashimi pieces. Who's your daddy?: $13.95, good tempura roll. Salmon holic: $14.50, didn't like the spicy sauce. Too much sauce. Total would-be cost: $74.40 This was such a good deal, and the sushi was delicious! Great service too. I was ordering pretty frequently.

    Ex Girlfriend Special Roll, JJ Special Roll
    Tracey Z.

    Good deal - especially the lunch special. Got the 2 rolls deal with miso soup. The soup was warm and hearty especially on a cold day. The Ex Girlfriend Special Roll was incredible. I would definitely recommend. The crunchiness of the tempura balanced with the soft crab and it melted together for a perfect bite. The JJ roll was also good, but not as flavorful as I would have liked. Would not get it a second time. Also tried the mango mochi but honestly $5 for 2 mochi pieces is steep.

To start, their Gyoza and Caramelized Brussels Sprouts are prime examples of items often seen but enjoyed in a new way.

"Land & Sea," and "Kiss Kiss" are 2 I love to rotate depending on my mood. You cannot go wrong with a variety of fresh fish served in generous portions served in classic but delicious ways, accenting natural flavors. This visit Alisa provided professional service with quick turnaround, and I tried something new - Garlic Edamame is charred and best eaten while dining alone. My favorite Salmon Nigiri is always fresh, low-sodium soy may not be traditional, but cuts the wasabi and was thoroughly enjoyed! Atmosphere is lovely for a strip-mall shop - piano Jazz and cozy booths, along with private dining rooms make this space ready for all occasions!

Parking for the stores is a quick right turn after driving into the complex. Seating is available both indoors and outside on a shady deck. This is not a large restaurant, but the menu is extensive. Many items are a la carte, but there are also full meals with several included sides. A 2-page lunch menu is at the back of the main menu. We opted for edamame to start, a few skewers of yakitori, and 2 lunch special bento boxes. We were amazed by the amount of food in the lunch bento boxes. On top of that, everything tasted fresh and was obviously freshly prepared. My salmon was way overcooked but the tasty teriyaki sauce made up for it. My daughter's pork looked fabulous and she was very pleased with her choice. I thought that pricing was very reasonable given the quality and portion size. We ended up taking food home. We thoroughly enjoyed our extended lunch and would not hesitate to return.

It had absolutely no flavor to the broth, the vegetables were not very tasty, and the pork was extremely fatty to the point where there was just a tiny bit of meat to eat. (In fact, there wasn't very much pork in the soup at all.) Other than that, everything else was delicious!

The sauce is a sticky, sweet soy sauce that is so delicious. The chicken leg itself is tender, juicy, and has a great skin texture. The skin soaks up the sauce so well and even has some nice charred bits that add to the flavor and complexity of the dish. The ramen itself was great too. A creamy rich chicken broth. I got the spicy level, so one level under the top spice level and it was perfect. Not unbearably spicy, but had a really nice underlying kick. The noodles are a thin yet snappy noodle so it made it easy to eat. I love the corn and mushroom spirals too! Overall, if you come based on this review, make sure to get the chicken paitan dx ramen. There are only 15 served in a day but ask them if they have it because I was able to get one on a Monday night at around 8PM! It's a nice space, good for a date or even a casual hangout. They have tables to accomodate parties of 1, 2, 4, and possibly 6.
