About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
Lucky Robot is the first sushi restaurant in Texas to partner with the James Beard Foundation and Monterrey Bay Aquarium sustainability programs. We are committed to healthy oceans.

Our kitchen is lead by two time Ora King Finalist Jay Huang. Our food is Modern Nikkei cuisine, a 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 first 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 = Flavor.

For parties of six or more, please see our Large Party Information under Contact at our website (https://www.luckyrobotatx.com/).

Please note: Last seating for Omakase Experiences are 30 minutes prior to close

    The summer ceviche had a strange house cleaner-like taste. The others at my table liked it but not for me. The aged trout sashimi was great. The Sea 3PO roll was pretty good. Overall just pretty good but not worth taking any out of town guests.

    We had such a great experience at Lucky Robot. The food was exceptional (definitely get the spicy edamame for a nice shareable). The majority of my group is vegetarian, and everyone found plenty of food that they loved. The drinks were also great! Parking is mostly paid street parking in the area, and maybe come ~5-10 minutes early to grab a spot.

    My wife and I ate at Lucky Robot to celebrate our anniversary. The waiter was very attentive and helped me pick out the vegan options to accommodate my diet. I was blown away when, after informing me the that vegan dessert options was unavailable that night, the chef surprised me by whipping up a unique one-off vegan dessert just for me. Absolutely classy and fun place.

    Fun spot with great fresh fish. A bit loud and busy, but good energy and service.

    This is my favorite restaurant of all time. I’ve eaten at sushi places like Nobu and Komodo, and they do not come close to Lucky Robot. Amazing flavors, everything is fresh, and every one is friendly. Love the atmosphere.
