Our kitchen is lead by 2 time Ora King Finalist Jay Huang. Our food is Modern Nikkei cuisine. Chef Jay’s dishes have the elegance and balance of Japanese cuisine accentuated with the fragrant chilies and aromatic spices of Latin America.
Prime dry-aged fish is here. A tradition started over 200 years ago in Tokyo and now the 1st in Texas.
Prime Dry Aged Fish will allow you to taste the fish in its purest form. Breaking down tissues and sugars allows new flavors and textures that bring the fish to its cleanest, most tender form. Age = Flavour.

Waitress didn’t know anything about the drink list or food and I am the type of person to try things that the staff recommends. Disappointing and not worth $200 in my opinion.
Great Atmosphere, very good sushi, fun place to go out and have dinner, will be here again fir sure!
The food was fantastic — highly recommend the dumplings and lomo. I’m not a big sushi person but the roll my boyfriend got was delicious as well. Our server, Grace, was so personable and tied together the experience. Will add this place to our regular rotation.
Great food, great service.
amazing food!
Wonderful food, patio seating and excellent service. Option for vegetarians were delicious as were the fish options!
Everything was great! The waitress we had was so sweet & knowledgeable. But at the end they wanted us to leave we still had drinks and they sent over a male waiter to ask us to leave and he was so rude about it. Other than that great experience
We sat outside in frigid weather. It wasn’t windy so the new overhead heaters were perfect. I should have brought a lap blanket & my legs would have been warm too.
The service was excellent. Great food suggestions from the server.
Food was tasty.
Note to self- it’s hard to keep food even slightly warm in that kind of cold. I need to order accordingly.
Amazing food at an amazing value during happy hour. We LOVE coming here! I do wish the music was a bit lower though.
We had a wonderful dinner for my teen son's birthday.
Our host was super knowledgeable and helped us try different and interesting plates.
Thank you!
Loved it here. Such a cute and fun venue, food was incredible. Waitress was great—service was perfect!
We loved the small plates and drinks, just wouldn’t go for their sushi rolls again. Amazing atmosphere!!
We enjoy Lucky Robot for good patio seating and a view of the Soco crowd strolling by. As Vegans, my husband and I love the veggiepilar "sushi-less" roll. The spicy edamame and Brussels sprouts are must appetizers to order. The service is superb. The outdoor music tends to be a bit loud, but we were able to hear ourselves talk.
amazing atmosphere and fantastic food!!! The service is also the best!
Thoroughly enjoyed my experience here. Had a reservation, but a few members of the party were running late due to work, and they were very accommodating and helpful. The food was EXCELLENT! Definitely will be back!
Came here on NYE 2020 and it was the best experience. The waitress and all the other staff members were welcoming and professional. The food was delicious. Def on the pricey side overall but worth it!! We can’t wait to go back!
This is my3rd or 4th time here and every time it gets better. We had the same server has last time. A taller man with longer hair. He was amazing. He always gives the best recommendations and just gives overall amazing service. Love the environment here. Also super great vegan options.
5 stars! Can’t wait to go back! The options for happy hour were great!
Their seasonal options, and the value and price of their happy hour menu is truly phenomenal, like their 3 dollar pork belly nigiri. The ambiance of the cherry blossoms and paper cranes are phenomenal.
A bit cold at first, but the ac was adjusted. Wonderful place and food.
I love coming to Lucky Robot! They have a lot of menu options ranging in price and I’ve never been disappointed. Their seating is pretty limited so it is better to reserve in advance.
Amazing food, Ian is nice, and I dont remember our servers name, but she was sweet
Good happy hour food. Decently priced. Need more explanations for the sake section. Nomnomiyaki was alright
Best sushi in Austin, hands down. The environment is great! Fair & reasonable pricing. 10/10 recommend
I always comes for the vegan sushi and sake flights. I love getting suggestions from the staff and trying new things. I’ve always had excellent experiences here and love this establishment. Would recommend for dates, or “treat yo self” dining.
Great vibe, great food, reasonably priced. Beer, wine, and sake only- no liquor.
Get the spider roll, it’s AMAZING!! All of the food was great. It was pretty chilly inside but other than that this might become one of our regular date night spots!
Lots of vegan options. Had to send back one dish - which was the rice dish in the hot main entrees. But other than that one - the rest of the food was great! Service was great too.
Really great, fresh sushi as always. Many tasty creative rolls.
The ambiance here was great! The food was so flavorful and the service was amazing. Our server had lots of great recommendations.
Celebrating President Elect Biden!
We came during happy hour and we’re seated quickly. Server Blake and rest of Staff were very friendly. Blake was so knowledgeable about the menu and he helped us out all throughout our great dining experience. He anticipated all our needs and was very attentive. All his suggested dish were delicious most especially the Wagyu Beef on a hot rock, Pork Belly, and both suggested desserts were great. We enjoyed it very much that we went back next day and ordered some to go. They treat you like a family and such good atmosphere makes us feel like coming back again and again. Thank you Stephanie, Anastacio and rest of employees. We will see y’all soon.
Grace was AMAAAZING!! 🥰
We had a great time. Our server was amazing at accommodating some diet restrictions and was super helpful. Great experience!
Menu is hit or miss, but nothing we tried was bad and much of it was well above average.
Hidden gem on South Congress serving world-class sushi. Highlights on the night we dined were the big eye fatty tuna market special, tako, unagi and uni. All very fresh and delightful!
We made it in time for the Happy Hour. The fun bites selection was all so delicious and our server had great recommendations for our sake choices.
Food was amazing, the staff also made us feel at home and answered all of our questions. Will definitely go back on our next visit to the city.
Extremely impressed with the wait staff. Our server Drew had great recommendations and knew about all the fish in the sushi and how they tasted, which helped us making decision. Giving 2 thumbs up to the staff! Thank you
Good food but an awkward quiet ambiance (no music on outside). Told the server a couple times but she didn’t fix it. Finally made a comment to another server and the speaker situation was resolved briefly but the sound went back down low shortly thereafter. When eating outside, it’s be great to enjoy music vs. sounds from the streets.
