I’ve been going here for over a year and usually it’s a good portion of fish in the hand rolls, but yesterday there was literally just the strips hanging out at the top and nothing inside lmao! It was depressing to say the least.

This is not necessarily the best Sushi that you can get in Austin. When you're coming here, you're booking for the 45-minute omakase experience. Mind you it is definitely an experience and that does come with a price tag. The place is very cozy and you are sitting at a bar like structure with a sushi chef at the center and a drinks/sake guide. We immediately went in and started to get our nigiri pieces of fish. Each time the chef put a new nigiri on our plate, he explained every single detail that went into making that particular piece of the nigiri. I would definitely say that the additions to the fish really was thought out on all of the flavors to compliment that particular fish. This is definitely an experience because instead of just getting a piece of fish you're getting something very creative. In fact, I would say perhaps something you might not be able to get at other sushi places. We started out and the sushi was pretty good, but as we continued through the courses each piece got better and better. The A5 wagyu Sushi piece was mind-blowing and also the uni was so buttery and did not taste bitter which I give all of the compliments to the sushi chef. As the sauce and pairing of what was in the sushi must have really brought out the flavor. My favorite pieces were the A5 Wagyu, the Ebi, toro, and Uni. I got the sake flight and it was a very good pairing with all of the different sushi pieces. I do wish that I had maybe three to four more pieces of sushi, but maybe that is just wishful thinking because everything was so good. If you haven't been to Omakase in Austin, I would definitely give this a try. I did happen to go the place next door that served hand rolls and got a spicy tuna and salmon. I'm definitely going to try to hit this place up for lunch one day and gorge myself in hand rolls. You can definitely tell that the fish was fresh.

For TONARI by Uroko: We got a last minute reservation for Saturday 8PM omakase. Great intimate setting, quality of the fish was top tier for a very reasonable price. Love the pacing, no awkward silences just straight to business, one great bite after another. The Sake flight is also a great deal, we got nice recommendations throughout for what to pair with a bite. Will definitely be back to experience different menus- they change by chef and season 😋 very satisfying meal!

Great place and service. They had a very creative and unique omakase! I highly recommend it. The whole experience was pretty quick though very enjoyable. Some of the omakase had this foam on top I hadn't seen anywhere else which was fantastic. And oh my... The beef omakase was a treat.

We have always loved the Temaki. Imaginative hand rolls and great veg options for those that don’t eat fish. Today we were also delighted with the Omakase experience. Will definitely continue to enjoy this place and it’s amazing quality/inventive sushi.

Husband and I had a great time! Complex flavor profiles, fresh fish, and very creative plating. Every bite was delicious and I loved the light shiso leaf under the pieces. Great textures paired with the right amount of rice and chew. The only con? We wanted to order more but the inventory is limited since the fish is imported from Japan lol great amount of nigiri for the omakase price point. We're from NYC (native, born and raised) and this is comparable to NYC quality and the express sushi joints there. I would say, it's better than Sushi by Bou (a similar sushi bar) in NYC. I'm sure we will be back!

It's clear that the team at Uroko truly cares about the fish they are serving. Exceptionally fresh, high quality, and thoughtfully presented. Hands down the best sushi rice in the city. A spectacular find, don't sleep on this place as it's an Austin gem.
