Reviews
The food at Fukumoto was the true highlight. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of flavor. The sashimi was fresh and buttery, the yakitori had the perfect smoky char, and the rolls were well-balanced and creative without being overwhelming. Our group also loved the grilled skewers and small plates—each item felt thoughtfully prepared with high-quality ingredients.
Despite the size of our party, dishes came out consistently and at a good pace. The servers checked in often, refilled drinks, and helped us choose items to share family-style, which made the whole experience even better. The ambiance was warm, modern, and perfect for both groups and intimate dinners.
However, if you brought your appetite prepare to enjoy the evening! There are so many tidbits to try and everything we did order was juicy and flavorful and interesting. I would go back just for the ube tiramisu, but also for the salmon nigiri, hokkaido uni, and tsukune. Even the drinks were delicious (the ILY So Matcha was a beautiful take on an alcoholic matcha drink).
Plenty of seating when we arrived early evening on a weekend night but the place started to get busier after 7:30PM.
Hotate Bacon (scallops &bacon) and Buta Bara (pork belly).
The King Salmon was exceptionally tender and delicious.
Monte Blanc dessert was delicious, both flavors were good depending on your taste.
Prices were affordable for location and quality of food.
House sake feels premium
Staff is super friendly and accomodative.
The ambiance is what you would expect .. we sat at the bar and couldn’t have asked for more.
They have so many regulars and it shows.
I have been to Fukumoto probably a dozen times – sat at the bar, at tables and at the sushi bar.
Everything on this menu is extremely fresh, reasonably priced, and mirrors that of Japanese traditions.
I would recommend the orange fed snapper paired with Dassai 45 sake.
This is a staple in the Austin sushi scene.
Not a fan of sake (the server helped me with some choices) but the plum wine is good.
We started with the Ikageso (crispy squid legs)—light, crunchy, and seriously addictive.
The Kaki Furai (fried oysters) were golden, crispy, and perfectly briny. So satisfying.
The gyoza was a surprise favorite—served in a savory broth instead of the usual pan-fry. Tender, juicy dumplings floating in flavorful comfort. A total standout!
I ordered the King Crab Nigiri—fresh, delicate, and melt-in-your-mouth good. A true treat.
And my son? He was in heaven with his favorite Tuna Nigiris —each slice perfectly cut and incredibly fresh. It’s always his go-to, and Fukumoto did not disappoint.
The ambiance is upscale-casual with a cozy, energetic vibe. Service was warm and attentive, without hovering.
Fresh, creative, and full of flavor. A sushi night to remember.
