Sushi Roku in Austin: An LA Sushi Staple Goes Texan
We were thrilled to be invited to the soft opening of Sushi Roku’s newest location in Austin, which officially opened its doors on February 16th. Owned by the renowned Innovative Dining Group (IDG), Sushi Roku now expands its reach from popular locations in Manhattan Beach, Santa Monica, Pasadena, and Las Vegas to establish its first Texas location in Austin.
The Menu
Sushi Roku’s menu is full of shareable plates, offering a good mix of cold and hot options that cater to both garden and sea preferences. The Hamachi Serrano and Cucumber Sunomono from the cold section were delightful starters. The truffle-infused Brussels Sprout Chips and the customizable Hanabi crispy rice, especially with spicy tuna and avocado, stood out among the hot options for their unique flavors.
The sushi bar and rolls menu also offers a broad variety of sushi and sashimi choices, ensuring an unforgettable culinary journey for every diner. The Albacore sushi, Salmon (Sake) sushi, and Tuna Maguro sushi were instant favorites for their delicate textures and harmonious flavors.
Furthermore, the dessert menu wrapped up our dining experience with an unforgettable finale. The Carnival Cake, Pot de Creme, and Chocolate Volcano offered a sweet journey that delighted our taste buds.
Our Final Take on Sushi Roku
Sushi Roku showcases a well-executed blend of traditional and modern culinary techniques. Each dish stood out for its unique flavors and creativity, with Austin-exclusive selections adding a unique touch to the dining experience. Sushi Roku is a place we’re already looking forward to returning to soon, eager to explore more of the menu.
