    Cute butterfly
    Kayla J.

    Food was amazing and the service was just as incredible. It was obvious once I sat down, there were 2 other tables that ordered their "usual" upon arrival. Very family friendly and great vibes. I will definitely return.

    Love coming here! We always have great service and quick order return rates. Food is amazing and fresh. Relaxing place to bring the family and a few friends.

    Spicy pork bulgogi bento, lunch menu
    Lori H.

    This restaurant is conveniently located down the street and decided to try it for a late lunch. It was not very busy at 1-1:30 with maybe a few tables. I asked if there were any recommendations in comparison to Japanese vs Korean on their menu. My wait staff mentioned the owner was Korean so I chose that route. She recommended the spicy pork bento box if I liked spicy and went with that. The food arrived very quickly. Portions were very fulfilling and packed the leftovers. The tempura vegetables were crisp but not very flavorful with the batter, their dipping sauce is definitely needed. The salad dressing was a refreshing orange citrus flavor with the basic California rolls. The pork bulgogi was plentiful, tender, juicy and flavorful. Lunch specials are reasonable based on the quantity of food that is given. If not, it would be considered pricey. Overall, the food was better than others I have tried although it didn't blow me away.

    Sushi/sashimi special - fresh Tuna
    Andrew S.

    Great Sushi/Sashimi place in Leander. Spice level is mild and well received. Location being close is a big plus. Tuna Special appetizer - very fresh and dense. Wait staff is friendly. Parking is good but was under repair today and blocked off in several spots . Should be completed as you read this. My feeling - a nice neighborhood spot with good food and attentive staff.

    Perilla leaves

    Tonight we had kimchee pancake and the galbi gim. They just recently changed the Menu to showcase more Korean Food. The owner is korean and cooks the korean food herself. Do not miss out on the korean food. Being half korean myself I was pleasantly surprised. They also had perilla leaves as a side banchab. Give it a go. You won't regret it.

    Fish tank #1
    Shelley G.

    Sushi is great, particularly the Pink Lady roll, Umiya roll, the Crystal Valley and the Sunflower roll. The restaurant itself needs some serious help. The fish tanks are green literally! The one by the front door has two fish which are nearly dead, not a pleasant experience when you are dining. If they're not going to keep them up, they should take them out. Normally the service is good but tonight it was incredibly slow! It may be a while before we're back which is sad because it's so close and convenient. We were here an hour and twenty minutes tonight for 3 people and there were only a few tables seated.

    Failed health inspection

    We were going to eat lunch here today but saw this on the door so we didn't go. We used to like their food so this is disappointing. The sign said they are still open so I'm guessing lots of unsuspecting people are still ordering food for delivery.

    Tiger eye and Houston rock and roll! Super good!

    Great selection of sushi and a variety of apps! Service could've been better. Took about 15 minutes for a sake and waters to arrive. I know some places are understaffed, but there were 3 servers on the floor (and it's not a big restaurant). They did seem to have a lot of curbside to-go orders going. We had the miso soup (delicious), and pork egg rolls for appetizer. Our sushi came out before the egg rolls (delicious) No big deal. I'd go again because food was delicious and the variety on the menu!

    Assorted sushi

    Wow, coming from LA to Austin, I've been looking for a quality sushi place for almost 2yrs... Finally, this place is it!!!! When I came today, there was no wait time so we were seated very quickly which was a big plus for us. The quality is so much better than 10+ other sushi spots that I've been to in Austin. For the impressive quality, the price is super reasonable too. For anyone who's looking for a legit sushi restaurant in Austin, I'd highly recommend.

    Miso Ramen
    Mina H.

    We visited this restaurant because we were staying nearby. If you go to this restaurant, I would recommend trying the sushi, hibachi, or anything else that does not need much seasoning. The sushi we had was great, so no complaints about that! However, the ramen we had was sad. The broth was not very flavorful, and the toppings in the ramen were bizarre. It's not very common to see green/red bell peppers and bella mushrooms in the ramen. Maybe shiitake or shimeji mushrooms would have been more appropriate. Good ramen broth requires a long cooking time, so any restaurant not specializing in it may not have the time to cook it well. This place is a perfect stop if you live in Leander and want some sushi, but stay away from ramen or other foods that require any intense cooking.

    Rotten food covered in tempura. Imagine what sushi RAW FISH is like

    I came to this location last month for lunch with my partner. While this was not my first time at…read morethis location, it is my first review of this place! Why did it take so long, I have no clue? We specifically came to this location to get the lunch Bento box specials. Bento box The Bento box lunch specials here are fully customizable (based upon a set list of items of course), which is nice as you can get as you can really have it your way (written in the B.K. theme song tone). We both elected to get the sushi, teriyaki chicken and salmon respectively. The lunch special bento boxes also come with standard white rice, a small salad with sesame dressing and miso soup. The beto boxes are truly filling for their size which I acredit to the rice from both the sushi and the portion that comes with the lunch. The teriyaki was perfectly balanced as it wasn't too salty which was perfect as when it tastes overwhelmingly savory, masking other flavors like sweetness and garlic. Conversely, the miso soup was a bit too salty for my liking. Sometimes the saltiness in miso soup can vary depending on the type and amount of miso paste used. I didnt think to tell the staff that I required something lower in sodium which is my fault. We also ordered another sushi role that was made with crispy salmon, jalapeno, spicy mayo, Sriracha and seaweed. The sushi role was crunchy and had a nice kick of flavor. Paired with wasabi, this role was an explosive flavor bomb. The service coupled with the food, vaule for quanity of food and service make this an ideal luch spot for fresh sushi. #supportlocal

I started with the gyozas -- filled with chicken and veggies, and really affordable at around $6 for 6. The sauce was delicious, and I shared them with my family, who also thought they were great. You can get them fried or steamed; I went with steamed. Next, I ordered the salmon avocado roll, and it was literally the best roll I've ever eaten. I dipped it in soy sauce, and for those who avoid preservatives, they even offer a soy sauce with just soy, wheat, salt, and water -- perfect for me! I ended up ordering four orders of six rolls (yes, they were that good) and ate them all by myself. Each order was about $9, with $7 for just salmon -- avocado was an add-on. The Sexy Mango roll was my mom's favorite -- she said it tasted refreshing. We also tried sashimi sushi, which was served in a cool cup and tasted amazing. My brother went all out and ate 30 avocado rolls, and the chef was kind enough to give him a super-sized sushi with extra avocado and rice -- I was so jealous! I also tried the Beef Bulgogi, which was delicious and priced at about $13 -- very reasonable. Around 4:00 pm on Saturday, the restaurant wasn't crowded, which made it perfect to enjoy our meal. The K-pop music in the background was a fun touch, too. Seriously, the salmon avocado rolls were the best I've ever had. I'll definitely be back next time I'm nearby!

I can see this being a casual and intimate date spot, without venturing into too fancy of a dinner. We got the Fire dragon roll - we mostly ordered this for the spectacle because we saw on the menu that it would be on fire. And it was so cool! It's completely wrapped in foil while on fire, which isn't as cool, but it was still cool regardless. But eating it, this was our favorite that we tried. The eel is so soft, it just melts in your mouth. And the fire in the foil makes the roll so warm and creamy. Which I know isn't something you really want when you think sushi, but it was so good. The rollercoaster roll - I think the taste of this roll wasn't necessarily anything special. It was good and it had a little spicy kick. But what set it apart was the tempura inside gave it some crunchy bits that were fun to eat. Yellowtail tornado roll - I really liked the yellowtail in this roll! But I'm not the biggest fan of jalapeño, so this one was just okay for me. Lemon salmon roll - this roll was really light and refreshing! Probably my second favorite of the night. But the citrus flavor was pretty strong, since it had yuzu sauce and sliced lemon on top. I feel like I would have liked it more if it was just the yuzu without the lemon.
