7 Best Japanese Restaurants near Lakeway

“This is hands down one of the best sushi restaurants in Austin. All of the rolls are so fresh and flavorful (craving that 620 roll as I write this)and the Ramen bowls are amazing as well. The staff is always warm, welcoming and attentive. They also have live music on Saturdays which is a nice touch and made my daughter’s birthday celebration and song extra special a couple weeks ago! Our favorite restaurant in the bee cave/Lakeway area.“

“Shrimp Katsu was fantastic! Want to try all the tea flavors.“

“My husband and I have been dining at Cho since we dated, and while it's always been good, we had never received exceptional service as we did tonight. Our server, Chess, was very pleasant and made us feel like we were right at home. He was very attentive and customer-oriented. Thank you, Chess, for providing us with world-class service! We'll be back to see you!“
