Sushi in NorthWest Austin and Cedar Park
We have made our rounds to the different Sushi spots in the Northwest Austin area.
By far, I believe the freshest fish for Sashimi and Sushi is at Midori Sushi on 183 and Anderson Mill. The atmosphere is nothing special as it is in a strip mall, has no more than 20 tables plus the sushi bar. They do have a Japanese table which is always fun (provided your dinner guests all have clean feet). They have a beer and wine license only. Which is ok with us, as we prefer the Nigiri Unfiltered Sake.
Are you in the mood for more atmosphere and can compromise a bit on taste? Then Tomo Sushi on Parmer is a good place. It is a great place to people watch and try creative Sushi rolls. There is always a line on the weekend. They are in a strip mall also and have no more than 20 tables plus the sushi bar. Same selection of beer, wine and sake.
Now, if you are up in the Cedar Park area headed to the new Cinemark theater and craving sushi. Try Hayashi Sushi & Grill. It is a brand new place that is still working thru their menu offering and service. But for ambiance and unique Sushi combinations, this is my favorite. It can be a little on the pricey side.
Sushi Caliente. Well, the owners were incredibly nice and helpful. We went when they first opened around July and were offered all sorts of items to try. Umm, well.... I really liked the idea of Sushi fused with a Mexican or even TexMex flair. However, it was a bit of a let down and not so fresh. Their cooked entrees were better than the sushi rolls.
Beluga Sushi in Round Rock. Great sushi rolls and a full bar. Try the sake sampler!!
Koreana on Mopac off of Parmer. Cooked food was really tasty. Sushi rolls, not so fresh and left an uneasy feeling thru the night and the next day. Many of my friends like this place, but they typically eat cooked foods more than sushi or sashimi. The staff is very attentive and the place has a romantic setting.
Kobe Japanese Steakhouse. I was surprised by their Sushi offering. It was fresh and if you are in the mood for some before over-eating on the hibachi... try it.
There are several others we are looking to try soon: Musashino Sushi and all the Sushi restaurants south of Mopac. Stay tuned...
