For a landlocked town, Austin has shockingly good sushi. And while the fancy omakases have their time and place, sometimes you just want to sit on the couch with a couple rolls and watch a movie. I’ve got you; here are my favorite sushi places in Austin that offer delivery.
Uchi
When I’m feeling indecisive, I order one of the sushi boxes and let the restaurant pick for me, but you really can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Uchi, and all the chefs who have gone through its kitchen, is one reason Austin has such a deep sushi bench. Everything here, even the standards, has been slightly upgraded, so if you need a treat, this is the spot.
Lucky Robot
The sushi boxes are the move here. They also have some vegan options for non-fish eaters. Luckily, if you love Lucky Robot but hate fighting the South Congress crowds, you can order their jewel-like sushi to eat at home.
Uchiko
While there is some overlap, Uchi’s sister restaurant offers a mostly different menu than its South Lamar sibling. (Plus this location might work better for North Austinites.) I like to order a mixture of hot and cold tastings, plus a handful of nigiri.
Ichiumi
Ichiumi has a large menu, and you’ll find all the classics here. What I go for, though, is their aburi sushi offerings — lightly seared nigiri pieces featuring ingredients like squid, eel, and scallops.
Yuki
Fans of rolls, come through: Yuki has plenty to offer, from traditional to more elaborate. I also love their tasty miso soup with clams.
Xian Sushi and Noodle
Sushi and hand-pulled noodles? What can’t Xian do? A crowd pleaser for when you can’t decide between Chinese or Japanese, Xian offers rolls, boxes, nigiri, and sashimi (look for the last two under “a la carte” on the menu).
Nori
Vegans, rejoice: Nori has your sushi fix. Rolls are the call here, and personally I would throw an order of shiitake gyoza in there while you’re at it.
Raku
This campus-area sushi (and ramen, and other Japanese dishes) restaurant nods to Longhorn fans with a couple of their dishes. Try the UT Tower — which is essentially everything that might go into a salmon roll, but stacked vertically — or the Tex-Mex/sushi mashup, tuna nachos. It shouldn’t quite work, but it does.
