Our first time at Yasaka was absolutely amazing! We came to try their all-you-can-eat sushi and ramen and it completely exceeded our expectations. Our server, Kristo, was the absolute best. He was so attentive, kind, and quick with everything. You can tell he really knows the menu because he gave us the best recommendations and helped us decide what we should try. Every suggestion he made was spot on. The all-you-can-eat experience is awesome because you get to try a little bit of everything. Every roll we ordered was fresh and delicious, and it made the whole experience really fun. I honestly loved everything we had and the ambiance was beautiful. It's also really cool that this is the only place in New Braunfels offering all-you-can-eat sushi and ramen, which makes it such a unique spot to visit. We can't wait to come back and next time I'm bringing friends with me! Highly recommend!! read more

We visited for dinner, and my family chose the all-you-can-eat option. I have a tiny appetite, so I asked to order à la carte. Our server was adamant that the entire table must choose the same option, either all-you-can-eat or à la carte. I let my family know I could not reasonably eat enough to justify the all-you-can-eat, so they agreed to order à la carte, though they were disappointed. This policy does not make sense. It pressures some guests to overeat and prevents others from ordering based on their own appetite. Not everyone feels compelled to eat excessively, and no one should be pushed in that direction. It ignores individual and medical needs, including people managing eating disorders or other health conditions that require careful control of intake. Requiring someone to participate under those conditions feels as unreasonable as expecting someone with a drinking problem to consume alcohol just to match the table. Simply put, it's a ridiculous policy. It limits flexibility and makes the experience uncomfortable for everyone. The food was decent. However, we will not be back. read more

I was stoked to see a new AYCE place was opening closer to me, and I'm very glad we stopped in! On a Monday evening that fell onholiday, we were able to find a seat almost immediately (at the bar so we could watch a game). While service was a bit slow starting off, it was understandable with a change in the servers. Everything else went smoothly and Yoga (I believe his name was) took care of us and was very attentive whenever we wanted to order our next round The sushi itself was pretty good. Not the best I've had by any means, but the portion sizes (especially for the speciality rolls) were very filling and the flavors were great. I was very pleasantly surprised that they had delicious ramen bowls - the kimchi beef ramen was so tasty and welcome on a cold evening. Prices are comparable to other AYCE places I've been to. The only reason I'm docking a star is the dessert was extremely underwhelming. We ordered vanilla ice cream with tempura banana and were disappointed to my handed ice cream still in its cup (and very poor quality at that). The tempura banana was also not very appetizing, which is a shame because everything else was delicious. I'd definitely recommend a visit if you're in the area and in the mood for a decent AYCE sushi (and ramen) fix! read more

We enjoyed Kristo's service today - she was attentive and courteous, always served us with a smile. We came in for lunch, and the all you can eat price per adult is $24. Today's sushi pieces were clean and fresh quality. The best part of the AYCE is that all items ordered are prepared to order and brought to your table. Love the hot soup and noddle offerings as well, and will certainly choose it the next time in. For sure a great choice for sushi in nbtx! read more

The customer service here?? 11/10. My server was hilarious and made us laugh and enjoy talking to him. I wish my food was as good. I ordered the vegetable ramen. While I'm happy for the option. I wish it was seasoned more. Flavor profiles were lacking there. I loved having crispy tofu but had to dip it into soy sauce just to have some form of seasoning on it. I would go back! Just not for the ramen. The inside is nice with umbrellas on the ceiling. It's right next to the Home Depot so still very close to everything in the area. read more

This was our first time trying Yasaka. We went on a Saturday night, so the wait was about 20 minutes. They have cute decorations for the season and everything seemed clean. Once we were seated we had to decide whether we all wanted all you can eat or alacarte. We chose the all you can eat because we wanted to try more foods. We ordered and shared a variety of appetizers, rolls, tempura, ramen, and desserts. Service was quick and the food was all good and fresh. We'll definitely go back again. read more

The ambience and servers were great! The food was good, but some of the appetizer items were definitely advertised different than they came. The karaage chicken arrived in small bits of chicken instead of regular sized karaage chicken bites. The shumai was small and the mussels were slightly overcooked. We also ordered the tuna tataki and pepper tataki, which had great flavor but the tuna was overcooked. The sushi rolls and ramen were great! read more

The location, parking, atmosphere, and friendliness are all 10 out of 10. The food portions are quite small except for the actual sushi rolls. The fish had some questionable freshness. We would definitely not recommend the San Diego roll. We asked for the Osaka role and apparently they were completely unavailable and did not have the ingredients to make it which is strange when that's what your restaurant is named after. The Takatsu Ramen was actually very good, but it definitely needed some Sriracha and soy sauce to deepen the flavor and to be a little bit hotter when served. For $32.99 which is the dinner price that starts after 3:30 PM, I would say that the price should be more like $28.99 instead. I'm not sure we got our moneys worth today. read more

Great sushi, good service, never rushed, ask for Steven any day but Wed great wait or, try Asahi with your sushi. Love this place

This has become a weekly spot! The fish is delicious, great portions for all you can eat, and very friendly staff :))

Just opened in New Braunfels next to Home Depot with ample parking. They're set up for reservations on Google but it's not accessible. You'll need to use the kiosk to join the waiting list when you arrive. I have to try it a few times to give my full review. read more

Enjoyed it very much. Food was very good. Sushi rolls had great flavor. Ramen was delicious, lots to choose from on the AYCE menu. Deserts were yummy. Will definitely be back read more

Steven was great! We really liked the cold appetizers and sashimi. The rolls were a bit hit or miss but overall good.

The spicy kimchi Beef Ramen was yummy. I added chili oil because it wasn't quite spicy enough for my taste, but overall it was very good. The waiter was very kind and attentive.The atmosphere was very clean and welcoming. I'll definitely go again. read more

You can order the buffet or a la carte. We preferred to order a la carte . The portions are ridiculous as a kid ration for the whole price.Less than a cup of rice and 3/4 ration of chicken for $18. If one wants to order a la carte all have to order a la carte , they couldn't order the buffet. They charge you if you leave food (what?). The only positive comment is the service is really nice and is the only restaurant open on Christmas day.I will never come back, hope they change. The rolls has 6 rolls included, instead of 8 . The taste is ok, food is warm. read more

My twin girls wanted to celebrate their 15th birthday here with friends and family. We had a large party and the orders were taken and delivered very efficently. The food came out really fast and everyone loved their food. It was really good, almost as delicious as food we've had in Japan. To top it all off, the entire staff of like 12 people brought each of them a plate with a cake and a firework shooting sparks up at least a foot in the air. They all sang happy birthday and one guy played a ukelele. It was the best happy birthday from a restaurant I've ever seen. I highly reccomend this place. Super friendly, efficent staff and really good Japanese food. read more

Highly recommend. Friendly, fast, and quality service and food. Great value for All you can eat. Tried various items and was highly satisfied on everything. Great service from hostess to our server "Kenny". Although the place was packed and waiting to get a table, the process was smooth. Keep up the great standards!! Atmosphere friendly and inviting. Definitely will be a next time. read more

I tried this place pretty soon after opening. I thought it was pretty good. Not anything special. Well I just tried it again today and I was blown away. Not only by the delicious food but also by the amazing service. Kristo was so funny! She would throw in a jokey joke. She was so friendly. I will gladly be returning. read more

Our favorite is Steven me and my friends always request him because it's the best service we have ever had and even when he isn't there all the rest of the staff is amazing!

This is the best sushi spot in town right now. The seaweed in the rolls is perfect - not chewy, not too thick. The rolls are nice and tight, no spill out unless you use chopsticks like a toddler. The food came out very fast. I was there at dinner time and they were pretty busy so we had to remind them about one of our rolls but they corrected it very quickly. We had appetizers, rolls and drinks and they were all top notch. I didn't try the ramen yet but the table next to me had some and I thought about asking for a slurp. Definitely going back soon. read more

Yasaka AYCE - Sushi Bars Near Me - New Braunfels, Texas

I ordered take out and was quite pleased with the flavor of what I had ordered: Shrimp Tempura, Gyoza dumplings and fried rice. You get a soup and a salad. Interior of the restaurant was beautiful and it was VERY busy for a Saturday night. I was also advised it was early in the evening for BUSY! Staff was very pleasant to deal with and I will certainly visit again. read more

Good food, polite staff and they were trying to talk us into staying longer but we were stuffed! A nice birthday lunch. read more

Yasaka AYCE - Salmon that was great. - Sushi Bars Near Me - New Braunfels, Texas

Amazing food, great service, cozy ambiance, great hidden gem in new braunfels and the location is so convenient also. Great price for all you can eat sushi and ramen. Definitely recommended! read more

This is 100% just based on food and not service as the store just opened and is busy. Ambiance is nice and patrons are very much of the New Braunfels flavor. Edamame came out well salted and was quite perfect. Miso soup was flavorful and nice. We ordered the Hawaiian roll and the red dragon roll. Both had enough spice, but not overly spicy red dragon roll was crisp in the Hawaiian roll hit our desire perfectly for a raw sushi experience. My two year-old daughter ate two helpings of the Gyoza so it's safe to say it was a hit as well. I'm not a huge fan of ramen but the tonkotsu ramen had me really enjoying the price tag. I wish I had more room to put more food away as everything was good. 100% will be back. Maybe more of a special occasion visit vs and any day weekly meal. read more

Great sushi quality and service. Can't beat all you can eat lunch menu. Great way to try a different variety of food.

This place was so good and our new spot!! Good prices and food, we did takeout and they were very accommodating over the phone

Me and my family went tonight and it was wonderful!! The service and quality of food was spectacular!! Our server Wendy was truly amazing and very accommodating and attentive to us.

It's not the best ramen I've ever tasted, but it's a buffet, that expectation is unreasonable. The quality is far better than I expected and the price is really good. going back again on saturday to take friends. I'd honestly say it's my favorite buffet so far, they do beef dishes as well just not on the weekday buffet, is my only complaint but that's minor. read more

The only thing that was actually good at Yasaka was the sushi. Unfortunately, everything else was very disappointing. The yakisoba portion was extremely small, and the shrimp had absolutely no flavor. I ordered shrimp and chicken, but the waiter forgot to add the chicken and didn't bring it out until after I had already finished my plate. The same thing happened with another shrimp order as well. On top of that, the waiter messed up about three orders total and seemed completely overwhelmed and all over the place. The restaurant overall felt very disorganized, and the staff management was very chaotic. It's really disappointing because the sushi had potential, but the service and organization were horrible. read more

Food and ambience was great, AYCE was more than worth it. Angel took great care of us. We'll be back asap!

Wait staff was great, the restaurant was very clean and comfortable! I had the spicy kimchi beef Ramen and it was so very good! My husband had pork ramen and loved it. We shared the Sandiego roll and it was amazing. This will be the only place we go for sushi and Robin in New Braunfels. read more

Great service, everything came out fresh, and there was plenty to choose from! Highly recommend!

Been waiting a while for this place to open! We were NOT disappointed!! Buffet was an option and we took it! Miso Soup, Edamame, and Crab Rangoons were tasty starts but nothing topped the sushi rolls! Smoked Salmon Crunch Roll, Pacific Sunset, Sweetheart Roll, and the Yasaka Roll were the freshest sushi we've had on a very long while! Try little sashimi and finish it off with strawberry ice cream! You won't be disappointed!! Excellent service! Ask for Steven read more

amazing food! ordered a few faves and some new things to try. our waiter was very kind and funny. service was pretty fast but it took forever just to get some water. otherwise great experience read more

Great service and full menu with the freshest sushi in town. Still in the first week of being opened but I think they are a place to go to.
