If you’re looking for an AYCE spot that doesn’t skimp on quality or service, this is it! I swear everyday they were popping up on our IG feed about people talking about how great they were, so we finally decided to say yes and go!
We came in on a Wednesday around 5pm and had such a great experience! We were greeted on arrival and it wasn’t super busy, so were seated right away.
They have lots of stable and booth seating, plus its decorated super cute and totally gives samurai and dojo vibes!
Our server Alfonso deserves a big shoutout! He was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made sure we were always taken care of — even when we were juggling multiple rounds of sushi, robata, and sashimi.
We went with the Silver tier ($38.95) — the lowest option — and it was so worth it! The food came out fast, fresh, and beautifully plated!
Here were our Top 10 bites that made it so worth it:
⭐️ Yuzu Yellowtail
⭐️ Beef Sashimi
⭐️ Stuffed Jalapeños
⭐️ Robata Kurobuta (Japanese Pork)
⭐️ Hibachi Shrimp
⭐️ Yellowtail Sashimi
⭐️ Sweet Shrimp Sushi (Silver Tier)
⭐️ Wagyu Sushi (Silver Tier)
⭐️ Nemo Roll
⭐️ Red Bean Ice Cream (included in your experience)
They’ve also got fancier level tiers that include more speciality items like other waygu meats, toro, snow crab, etc, which we’d love to try next considering the tiered bites were some of our favs!
We also learned they occasionally do sake shot cheers for the whole restaurant — which sounds like such a fun, community-style touch we can’t wait to experience next time!
The quality, variety, and service all exceeded expectations and we highly recommend checking them out!

I honestly didn’t have the highest expectations before coming here, but I was pleasantly proven wrong. The interior of the restaurant is pretty nice. Service was very very good; our server was super nice and the kitchen kept up with our orders and the food came out quickly. The presentation of every item was also beautiful, which I feel can sometimes not be the case in AYCE restaurants. Everything I ordered was very delicious and I had no complaints. Definitely one of the better AYCE experiences here in Austin even if you get the basic tier!

We tried Sushi Warriors and went with the Silver option. The service was nice and the staff were friendly, but overall the food was kind of hit or miss. Looking at the menu, the jump in price between the Silver, Gold, and Diamond options doesn’t seem very worth it, especially considering the quality. Some of the highlights: the limited wagyu and shrimp sushi were pretty good. The fried sushi rice was interesting and fun to try. Unfortunately, a lot of the other dishes didn’t stand out. The appetizers were just okay, and some of the fish appetizers and sashimi didn’t taste very fresh. The grilled skewers all kind of tasted the same. the pork was decent, but the steak was dry. The katsu and tempura were disappointing; the breading fell apart easily, and the shrimp tempura was only slightly better (though my friend joked it tasted like the kind you get from Costco). The salad had way too much ginger for my taste, and the udon ramen was really salty. The edamame was good, but it’s hard to mess that up. Most of the rolls were fine but nothing special, though I really liked the Volcano Roll. the crawfish on top was delicious and easily the best part of the meal. Overall, I wasn’t very impressed. It’s not terrible, but it’s definitely not as good as Kan Sushi. Considering Kan’s lunch price is a better deal for better quality, I’d probably go there instead next time.

This is our new go-to place for sushi, the all you can eat option is great!
My partner and I have enjoyed trying the different sushi rolls they offer.
This time around we had the longhorn roll, the catapilar roll, the crunch roll, cilantro pesto roll, the rainbow roll, some smoked and un-smoked salmon sushi, miso soup, and a lychee green tea.
Their food seems pretty consistent, my partner especially loved the miso soup.
Anna was our server, thanks!

Great environment and service. The lowest tier cost 40dollar per person and it was worthy. You got plenty of rolls, cold and hot Appetizers and Japanese style skewers .
The sashimi pieces are small but it is ayce, not surprised. They are petty decent quality.
Great place to hang out with friends who eat raw or cooked food. Solid 4.5 out of 5.

What an atmosphere! Sushi Warriors has a fun, lively vibe. The service was fast and friendly, which really added to the experience.
My son ordered the steak udon and loved it — definitely a favorite. I was also pleasantly surprised by how good the Hot Geisha roll was — packed with flavor!
The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is the Wagyu sushi and sweet shrimp. The texture was similar to raw oysters — just not for me. I know some people enjoy that, but those two are on my personal “Noper’s List.”
Overall, a great spot with solid food and fast service. I’d definitely recommend giving it a try!

Sushi was ok. Not great. It was pricey and AYCE, but there’s better places in town doing AYCE. Everything was quite bland. The tempura batter needed some salt, the edamane was overcooked, and the wasabi wasn’t spicy at all. Overall all the non sushi items lacked seasoning and flavor. The sushi was meh. Not that tasty, but not bad. The fish didn’t stick well to the rice and the rolls were swimming in too much sauce.

This is a pretty good all you can eat sushi restaurant, but it is not a buffet. They make the sushi to order so it is always fresh and they also have a number of other entrées and appetizers available with the buffet. There’s a few different levels, the basic level is about $35 and you can order anything on either side of the menu for that. They messed up my order a bit, but it was OK so just make sure that you get what you want. And if you go late in the evening, they close down the kitchen about half an hour before the restaurant closes so plan accordingly.

Totally worth it! From the moment you walk in, the vibe is elegant and inviting perfect for a date night or a special dinner. You’ll find the finest cuts of meat and the freshest sushi in town. Every roll and bite was perfectly balanced and full of flavor.
If you’re a true sushi lover, this place is your paradise. ✨
Definitely a must-try spot in Austin!

We’re regulars here, and a few of the service staff greeted us before dinner began. At the end of our meal, we paid the bill. My wife took a bite of her udon, and to our shock, a live animal—a bug or worm—emerged from it. Given the busy dinner service, I called over the waitress and informed her about the animal on the table. She poked it and moved it around. She asked what she could do and went to speak with her boss. As a gesture of apology for the inconvenience, she gave us a $10 gift card.
It was quite insulting that after a live animal was found in our food, the manager didn’t seem to care to come out and apologize for the incident. Instead, the waitress was sent to offer us the $10 gift card, and the lack of understanding from her boss was concerning. He was surprised that the $10 was not enough. I simply informed him that if he went to a nice restaurant with his wife and a live animal came out of her plate, would he be okay with a $10 gift card to apologize for the horrible event? No response, but he asked what we wanted. I said I wasn’t asking for anything, but as a manager, you should make the situation right. It’s your job to know the seriousness of a live animal coming out of a guest’s plate during dinner service. Last time we dine here.
