30 Best Japanese Restaurants near Pflugerville

“Staff were very kind, helpful and attentive. We really enjoyed the three house rolls that we tried, especially the Volcano and the Everest, as well as the fried calamari.We sat at the bar, and while the place wasn't fancy it was comfortable and we really enjoyed the food. We will definitely be back.“

“My boyfriend and I ate here last night, and i was so pleasantly suprised at how much I enjoyed it. The food was great- especially my order, the Spicy Miso Udon Soup with Seafood. Excellent service, gracious and exactly right. The space is great. We sat outside because the weather was nice but the inside is very very cozy and cute too. I am already planning my next visit for AFFOGATO and more Spicy Miso soup. I also want to try the Fish and Chips, and try the rice noodle option in the soup. Excited to have not only a good Japanese option but an espresso bar just a few blocks from our house. Will be back (probably this week)!“

“Amazing experience overall, lip smacking food. The service was exceptional, well explained and catered to all our needs. They kindly let us stay 2 hours after closing and entertained us without hesitation until we finished. Will highly recommend, celebrated my birthday here and absolutely loved their attention to detail and warm and friendly staff!Vegetarian options: They had a tasty and fun vegetarian selection, will highly recommend!“

“Choo Sando is an experience. When you walk in, the restaurant greets you with very friendly staff, a clean and inviting atmosphere, and an appealing array of food options. I’ve visited many times for their sandos, but most recently decided to try the sushi/sashimi plates. Everything that I’ve eaten from this restaurant has been the highest quality and tastes delicious. I would highly recommend Choo Sando to everyone!Quick note: arrive first thing when they open to ensure nothing is sold out by the time you arrive. There will be a line!“

“Tatsumi is my favorite sushi spot whenever I'm in the mood for high quality fish and great vibes. I'm always impressed by the sushi selection. Tiffany the owner is always so kind and always checks in to make sure we're having a good time. Her team is always so helpful and during our last visit we had the pleasure of being hosted by Vin-- who btw is always very knowledgeable about the menu and fish options. Tatsumi never disappoints!“

“I have been going here for almost 20 yrs once every 2 or 3 months when I get a craving for sushi and they have never disappoint. Always consistent quality and freshness. My sons first sushi experience was here when he was 10, and he does not like to go anywhere else since. He's now 18 and still a fan.“

“Gluten free menu is awesome. They have Gluten free soy sauce and I saw in another review they prepare GF orders on a separate station. Hope that's true since I was recently diagnosed celiacs and found this place because of the GF options.“

“Ordered the omakase. Decided last minute to add hot rock & edamame. I noted that I do not want it to interfere with the timing of the omakase, and please serve as ready. It was roughly a 45 minute delay after the hot rock waiting for our next dish. Total time spent - 3 hours.I'll come back and re-visit this review after my next visit and hopefully can update it to 5 stars. Thank you, UchiKo!“

“The sushi is tasty and inventive great combinations of flavors. Friendly service and great atmosphere. I enjoy the great service and friendly wait staff. It is my favorite restaurant to go to. I love the Something Wrong roll and their Sushi Bomb.“

“I have been dying to try Chef Choo's shop for a while now and I am so sad I didn't stop by sooner! The chef's special box that I chose today was truly an amazing experience! The cuts of sushi are so soft and delicious, with meticulous handcraft going into preparing them. The owners were on-site whipping up new masterpieces in the back, with a clean dining area to enjoy this box! If you get the opportunity to stop by, please do!너무 맛있었어요. ^^ 감사합니다. 다시 먹으러 올게요. ㅎㅎ 화이팅!“

“Our go to sushi spot in Austin. Always good, reasonably priced, and reliable. They even have booths to mimic seating on a Japanese floor.Vegetarian options: Cucumber roll, agedashi tofu, miso soup, edamame vegetable tempura, and moreParking: When busy can be hard to find parking. May be able to park in lots next door, but not sure of towing policy. Entrance to parking lot is narrow and easy to miss.Kid-friendliness: The booths are more kid friendly for those with toddlers bc they can semi-walk around inside them without bothering other guests. You can also fit infant car seats comfortably inside and tucked out of the way. But you are required to take off your shoes for the booths“

“I planned to go to Chinatown North for dim sum but the sign at the entrance said to head downstairs for dim sum, where Street is below. The waiter said they are connected but different establishments and the dim sum servers upstairs would come from the lower kitchen anyway. I ate here with a close friend after wrapping up weekend meetings in Austin. The place has a good vibe and friendly service, quite modern and clean. We shared six items and everything had great flavor, with the turnip cake and prawn siu mai being my favorites. Above average pricing for dim sum but I think that comes with the experience. Good spot for a date or with friends. I would go back.Parking: Free parking lot around the building.“

“Excellent. The staff was so nice, the food was wonderful. Probably the best crab Rangoon I’ve had. Very mild and different, but delicious. Wish I ordered two servings. Had 3 types of cooked sushi (or whatever) and it was delicious. Can’t wait to return. Definitely worth the visit.“

“The restaurant has a great selection of delicious and affordable Japanese food. I’ve ordering here for a while now and the fishes are always fresh and the sushi pieces are big. They have an amazing gyoza and special sushi rolls. Also, they offer lunch specials with a great price (Monday to Saturday from 11:00-2:30pm).“

“This might be our new favorite sushi restaurant. The mango salmon roll was fantastic, and the carrot top roll was amazing.Kid-friendliness: The menu has a single "kids' meal." It isn't much, but it's more than most similar restaurants.“

“Great place for Sushi and Authentic Korean food!! Most places just give the add on Korean sides that are just ok and good with the meal but man, seriously, the Sides here are delicious!! It's been a minute since I've been here but glad to see that food is still great and customer service is awesome! I highly recommend this place for Korean food“

“Was staying at The Renaissance and wanted someplace for dinner that was walking distance. I had a hard time finding it and had to call them. It’s very small.Food is delicious and the folks working tonight were super nice. The Austin roll was huge and really good. I also had the shrimp yakisoba. Dining in options are limited. It’s very small inside.“

“We asked to be reseated because at first they put us directly under blasting air conditioning. Connor was a good server. We ordered miso soup, house salad with carrot ginger dressing, edamame, lion king and hotel Cali rolls, chicken lettuce wraps, mango crab rangoon, and drinks. Everything was okay.“

“Delicious food and friendly staff! My food came out fast, fresh and delicious, but I had to take a phone call and when it was done, my ramen had gotten a little cold. I apologized to the staff and asked if they could heat it back up for me as it was my fault it had gotten cold. Without skipping a beat the staff member behind the bar immediately offered to remake it. She explained they don't have the ability to reheat it but would instead make my order again because she wanted to make sure I got to enjoy my ramen while it was fresh and hot. I can't say enough kind things about this location. When it comes to amazing ramen and the people who keep things running at this location, both are 5 stars in my book.“

“Came for the sushi, but was blown away by the soba dish! Had a bit of a wait, but love that you can order drinks and hangout on the patio while you wait. The sparkling yuzu drink was so good! The cold soba was super refreshing with a flavorful dipping broth that you mix with all the toppings, and the noodles had a nice chewy texture. Definitely reminds me of the food in Japan! Sushi was pretty standard, but great quality for the price. The agedashi tofu was another gem. The service here is super friendly, and it seemed like a great spot to hang out with friends or have a date. Will be coming back specifically for soba again!“

“Oh. My. God. The "Back 2 Basic" Ramen bowl was amazing, though *very* salty. The broth had an almost smoky flavor, the noodles were perfect, neither over nor undercooked. This seems to be a good ace for reasonably priced Japanese food, very fresh, and always beautiful presentation. There are many different sushi rolls, and you can have your green tea ice cream if you've been missing it I didn't take picture for you, because I gobbled it up too fast. Next time, because there will definitely be a next time, I plan to try the dragon roll,.just because it looks so cool. The only non-Japanese items on the menu are various poke bowls, and french fries. Seems like *every* restaurant has french fries on their menu, whether Middle Eastern, Greek, Mexican, Salvadoran... just an odd something I've noticed. It's not cheap, but it's not expensive either, not for these times. Expect to drop 20, 25 dollars depending on what you order and whether you tip generously or are a cheapskate. Pictures next time, pro n ise!“

“The atmosphere reminds me of the mercados near Mi Tierra, and the owners were very sweet and only added a coziness that was complimented by the beautiful art within the restaurant. The taste of the food here is as immaculate as it is comforting. A perfect place to go for an evening night out with family, friends, and loved ones.“

“Came here for lunch cause I was craving warm Korean food. Ordered the spicy kimchi soup and the beef bulgogi bibimbap. Service was great and quick. The food was better than I was expecting and the portions were huge. Ended taking more than half home. Also ordered the galbi and I was impressed by how well it was cooked. It's nice to find good options north of Austin and I will definitely be back soon.“

“The sushi was so fresh, creative, amazing experience! We had a tuna tataki appetizer and multiple orders of Nigiri with Hokkaido scallops, New Zealand king, salmon, bluefin tuna, and a longhorn roll, and Fiery Kiss roll which were delicious! We will keep coming back!!!“

“The food and flavors were fantastic. We ordered crab Rangoon, edamame, and fried calamari appetizers and then Tokyo Ramen, Rice Bowl with chicken teriyaki, and a Bento box with steak. The meat was absolutely unreal. Perfectly cooked and flavored. My daughter got strawberry and said 9/10 (could have been colder - you’ll see it was a little mushy in the pic).“

“Honestly something special. From the food to the people. I probably shouldn't be saying this because I love that great peaceful atmosphere but it's worth letting the world know. From someone that thinks they fell in love with this local low key spot“

“Honestly, a pretty decently priced restaurant! And the food is high quality too! Shared an appetizer and the sashimi bowl with a friend and we were both decently full at the end. The takoyaki is so creamy and it comes out nice and warm. Would definitely recommend that. And the sashimi bibimbap is so worth it. For $23 you get a huge bowl of sashimi, rice, and vegetables. And you get to mix it all like bibimbap.“

“A seemingly odd assortment of specific Asian fusion snack and dessert options with kind of a cute name. A weird sample platter of Japanese rice balls (onigiri) and filled fish shaped cake (taiyaki) , Korean shaved ice desserts (bing su), smoothies and boba. The fusion rice balls are tasty enough. The mango boba was very sweet and the tapioca balls could be softer. The combo's are a good deal. The guy taking our order at the counter was cheerful and nice.Not really a full meal / family dinner place. This place is more like a pretty good snack / hang out place. There are a lot of large tables and a good amount of space to hang out with friends.Parking is difficult with the shared lot with all the other restaurants and 99 Ranch.Parking: Parking is difficult with the shared lot with all the other restaurants and 99 Ranch.“

“I enjoyed this "burger speakeasy" inside ZEN. The concept is pure genius, and the execution is even better.I recently tried the Swagyu Cheeseburger, Chicken Katsu, sidewinder fries, and house-made Asian slaw, and the flavors blew me away. The Asian seasonings and sauces really take these dishes to the next level. The Swagyu burger was juicy and flavorful, and the chicken katsu was crispy and tender. The sidewinder fries were a fun twist on the classic, and the Asian slaw was the perfect refreshing accompaniment.The service was also excellent, with attentive and friendly staff who clearly take pride in their work.Good stuff! Check it out.“

“I love this place so much. I’ve been Ordering both takeout and dine in for years and years. Before all else it’s my favorite restaurant in this area. The food is excellent and the price is right. I love that they carry Shirakiku Ramune Drinks. even the simplest dish at this restaurant seems to be made with quality as the main ingredient. The experience from start to finish is great the staff is really helpful and you don’t know what to order. They’re really patient and will walk you through the menu. i’ll never stop going here as long as it stays how it’s been.Keep up the great work and I look forward to being your customer for many years to come.“
