Our guide to Japanese restaurants in Austin

Japanese restaurants include sushi bars, ramen shops, izakayas (casual drinking spots with small plates), teppanyaki grills where chefs cook at the table, and specialists in tempura, udon, katsu or yakitori. Many sushi restaurants also offer cooked dishes and bento boxes, so there is something for diners who do not eat raw fish.

At a sushi bar, sitting at the counter lets you watch the chefs and ask what is freshest that day. Omakase – leaving the selection to the chef – is the most traditional way to eat, while rolls with sauces and toppings are an American innovation that most menus now feature heavily.
