This place is a solid 3.5 star but the service takes it up to 4. It’s the most reasonably priced omakase and they are quite efficient but shouldn’t come as news that some pieces are amazing but others are just ok. Obviously you’re getting what you pay for. I do like that they do a $30 sake flight it’s such a fair price and add a nice touch. Ended up trying the hand rolls after as I was still hungry and I must say they are so generous with the fish and the portions are just right. The only problem was that it’s only 1 person working and a ton of people ordering so it kind of beats the concept of a hand roll place if you have to wait 15 mins for a roll.

Review is for Tonari by Uroko.
I think there needs to be more concepts like this — 12 course omakase that only lasts 45min. (You simply don’t need to be at an omakase for 2-2.5hrs) Excellent dishes for the price point and glad to have still had time on my hands. The scallop, Wagyu, and fish bone soup were the stand out dishes for me. Would do this again and prefer it over a lot of overpriced omakases in town.

Perfect for a quick and easy lunch. Order at the counter and find a place to sit.
The fish is fresh and buttery. The rolls were deliciously crafted. There was a bit too much rice to fish ratio but the flavors were tasty.
I’d love to come back for the omakase some day

Fresh sushi handrolls at a walk-up counter (they make ‘em right there in front of you!).
Their rice is fabulous.
Also they’ve an *excellent* speciality and hard-to-find sake selection — would be easy to miss this, but don’t!!
They also offer take-out omakase and handroll classes, which is neat.
Price point ~$6-12 per handroll.

Love this place. They have very good selection of hand rolls and very good quality. There’s normally one sushi chef that makes hand rolls one by one after you order. The chef makes the rolls very pretty. They sell salad, drinks, Japanese snacks, original T-shirts as well. Very cute place.
The building gives very modern feel with the common eating area with other vendors. Normally people are hanging out/working with laptops. Cafe Medici is right nextdoor.

We (party of 3) tried out Uroko as part of the AYCE Omakase experience. Start time was 5PM for 90 minutes of AYCE Omakase but by the time we were seated and everyone had a chance to order drinks and the host explained the concept it was 5:10PM. The seating is for 12 and it is served buffet style as All You Can Eat with 2 chefs preparing the sushi and an additional employee assisting with drinks and dishes. After all 12 of us had each grabbed a plate of what we wanted, the chefs quickly fell behind and it was difficult to find enough sushi variety after the third trip. My plates were 10 pieces, then 8 pieces, 3, 2, 5, 4, 1, 2, 2. After 45 minutes we were waiting for the next batch to be prepared. The chef made varieties using the same pieces of fish (salmon, hamachi, shrimp, tuna, beef, scallop, and a few others) and switched out toppings as he liked. 12 people was too many for an AYCE concept with only 2 chefs. The quality of the seafood was not high enough for an Omakase experience at this price point. The rice was not as flavorful and delicate as I would have expected for an Omakase. The seating is made for parties of 2 and if you want to sit more together you have to ask in advance.
This is more of a unique concept but could have been executed better.

Came in to order food with my service animal, and the cashier immediately yelled at me to take my dog outside. Instead of offering help or an alternative, she chose to raise her voice in front of other customers. It was extremely embarrassing and completely unacceptable.
In Austin — a city that prides itself on inclusivity and dog-friendly spaces — this kind of reaction is out of line. The restaurant is in a mall where dogs are everywhere, near open doors and shared spaces, yet this employee singled me out and treated me like I was doing something wrong. Service animals are protected by law, and it’s clear she had no training or understanding of that.
I never got to try the food because I was basically kicked out. The problem isn’t the kitchen; it’s the lack of professionalism from the front-line staff. This isn’t a small mistake — it’s a sign of poor management and failure to educate employees on proper customer service and disability rights.
Shameful experience. If you rely on a service animal, don’t expect to be treated with respect here unless something changes — and I sincerely hope management takes this seriously.

Quick and delicious. 12pcs in 45 minutes
$110 incl taxes fees & 20% gratuity
A few of our bites were a bit on the bland side, but that comes from someone who is used to a lot more sauce on their nigiri. Plus the chef prob wants us to really taste the natural sweetness and flavors of the fish. The sushi chef is quite innovative and experimental with the food.
If you do the 8pm seating or earlier you can go outside right after to grab some hand rolls if you’re still hungry (they close at 9pm). Same owner, same kitchen, same high quality fish. We shared 6 rolls among us 4 after

Great place and service. They had a very creative and unique omakase! I highly recommend it. The whole experience was pretty quick though very enjoyable.
Some of the omakase had this foam on top I hadn’t seen anywhere else which was fantastic. And oh my… The beef omakase was a treat.

This is not necessarily the best Sushi that you can get in Austin. When you’re coming here, you’re booking for the 45-minute omakase experience. Mind you it is definitely an experience and that does come with a price tag. The place is very cozy and you are sitting at a bar like structure with a sushi chef at the center and a drinks/sake guide.
We immediately went in and started to get our nigiri pieces of fish. Each time the chef put a new nigiri on our plate, he explained every single detail that went into making that particular piece of the nigiri. I would definitely say that the additions to the fish really was thought out on all of the flavors to compliment that particular fish.
This is definitely an experience because instead of just getting a piece of fish you’re getting something very creative. In fact, I would say perhaps something you might not be able to get at other sushi places. We started out and the sushi was pretty good, but as we continued through the courses each piece got better and better. The A5 wagyu Sushi piece was mind-blowing and also the uni was so buttery and did not taste bitter which I give all of the compliments to the sushi chef. As the sauce and pairing of what was in the sushi must have really brought out the flavor.
My favorite pieces were the A5 Wagyu, the Ebi, toro, and Uni.
I got the sake flight and it was a very good pairing with all of the different sushi pieces. I do wish that I had maybe three to four more pieces of sushi, but maybe that is just wishful thinking because everything was so good. If you haven’t been to Omakase in Austin, I would definitely give this a try.
I did happen to go the place next door that served hand rolls and got a spicy tuna and salmon. I’m definitely going to try to hit this place up for lunch one day and gorge myself in hand rolls. You can definitely tell that the fish was fresh.
