My favorite and affordable sushi restaurant. You can do ala carte or all you can eat. Lots of varieties for appetizers, sushi and desserts. They do not serve sashimi in all you can eat option. During busy nights, service can be slow.
They also have another location in downtown Austin, which is way smaller than North Austin location.
