Top Best Japanese Restaurants in Pflugerville

"In a stylish refurbished house (“uchi” is Japanese for “house”), founding chef and partner Tyson Cole slings the freshest sushi in the city. Raw fish options include extensive a la carte pieces and a ten-course omakase, and traditional Japanese dishes such as wagyu beef carpaccio round out the menu. An Austin treasure since 2003, Uchi made such an important contribution to the national food scene that the James Beard Foundation named Cole, who trained in Tokyo, Best Chef: Southwest in 2011."

"Uchi, Austin’s most well-known sushi restaurant, is led by chef Tyson Cole, who has won a slew of national and international awards. Located in a remodeled old bungalow in South Austin, the restaurant manages to be fancy and relaxing at the same time. The salmon roll and salmon belly are guaranteed crowd pleasers."

"Quite possibly the most influential restaurant in Austin’s culinary boom, Uchi continues to excel as the city’s premier option for sushi and modern Japanese cuisine."

"Komé is one of my favorite spots for sushi in Austin and especially for a quick weekday lunch.

Online ordering for takeout: Sun – Thu 12 noon – 8 pm; Fri & Sat 12 noon – 9 pm."

"2713 E 2nd St| With guest safety in mind, Kemuri Tatsu-Ya revamped their restaurant layout dramatically last fall to move all dine-in to outdoors only on the covered patio for the ultimate al fresco experience. Guests will be able to enjoy Omakase Club, offering three different chef-curated tasting menus with options for vegetarians and pescetarians."

"This Texas-smokehouse-as-izakaya is unlike anything else in Austin. Even Kemuri Tatsu-ya’s interior is a hybrid of Japanese and Texan aesthetics: Austere wood paneling and intimate booths are reminscent of little spots in Tokyo, but Texas-pride taxidermy hangs on the walls. The ambiance strikes the perfect key of east-meets-south."

"Oh haiiii 👋 Binnaga albacore tuna, cherry plum, jalapeño, ponzu, cilantro #otokoaustin #omakase #chefyoshiokai 🐟.

This 12-seat Japanese restaurant located inside the South Congress Hotel exclusively offers a multi-course omakase tasting menu that changes based on season and availability. Just don’t plan on walking in without a reservation."

"The manic Kyoto-born punk rocker is obsessed with ingredients, transforming fish flown directly from Tokyo and obscure don’t-call-them-weeds from HausBar Farms into an intimate 12-seat kaiseki experience that tastes like nothing else in town."

"Owner Kazu Fukumoto is a Musashino alum, which means he pays close attention to the cuts of fish he uses for every single piece."

"This newly minted brick-and-mortar is a shining light of umami in a storm of frat-star hangouts and chains. Rice bowls topped with all types of proteins and endless add-ons like veggie croquettes make the trip to the Drag worth more than its weight in panko."

"Yes, it’s gimmicky — pieces of fish and other Japanese dishes zooming by on conveyor belts — but that’s part of the fun of the Austin location of the renamed chain (formerly known as Kula Revolving Sushi Bar). Rack up 15 plates of food for sushi-themed prizes."

A “parent recess” happy hour brings discounts to the beer and wine list from 3 to 5:30pm, and other menu items like Frito pies and onion rings round out the menu for the adults in the party. (Note: there are two additional locations on Burnet Road and North 183.)"

"Phil’s Ice House has good food, outside play area, nice outdoor seating, and is located next to Amy’s Ice Cream so you can have your dinner and walk next door to grab some ice cream. 13265 US Hwy 183 N, philsicehouse.com"

"For an upscale diner experience, complete with cocktails and a nice beer list, in a space that feels more like a mid-century modern eatery than a typical pancake house, check out 24 Diner. Chef Andrew Curren, who briefly appeared on the most recent season of Top Chef on cable TV, serves hash, waffles and frittatas made with locally sourced vegetables and meats, as well as burgers, sandwiches and other lunch items. (Austinite Paul Qui, who ended up winning Top Chef, doesn't serve breakfast at his restaurant, Uchiko, or his East Side King trailers, but you should try to check them out when you're in town anyway.) This popular eatery often has a queue, but you can take a stroll through Waterloo Records or Whole Foods Market's flagship store nearby while you wait for a table."

"It’s open early early early every day, so you can head here for “brunch” any day of the week!. I always get their chicken and waffles because they are KILLER, but they also have some healthier options and lots of American brunch classics. Definitely a favorite in Austin."

"Open around the clock, it’s the perfect place for a comforting late-night bite if you’re in the mood for something a little more classy."
