Lucky Robot

Food and service was great! The deep fried dumplings were more of a pot sticker, but the pork dumplings were incredible and what you'd expect. Their rolls are great as well - I like that don't drizzle the sauces over the rolls so it's an option instead of part of the roll

Perfect perfect perfect. What a treasure of a place. Every dish hit, every drink was perfectly recommended, there were no mistakes made. The crowd was a mix of locals and tourists ranging in ages from 14 to 45. They have swing seating, and fake plants but they care about you, I swear! Get the sake flight or just the Dassan Blue Sake, its such a unique taste with elements of pear, citrus, and orange. I can't wait to go back.

Love this Austin gem on SoCo. They have incredible nonalcoholic drinks that are a pleasant surprise for those who don’t drink. I tried the bao which was woooow! The sushi is phenomenal and tastes so clean. The presentation of each dish adds such a layer of perfection to your experience. We were able to get in on a Saturday night after a 15 min wait around 8:30pm…that alone is a win in my book. I’ve been here many times but finally am writing a review hoping others who want to come do make the trip down to this spot. One thing I really love about Lucky Robot is the ambiance inside. This night we were sat in a fun spot that had a swing as the seat and we faced a huge window for top tier people watching as hundreds walked by. Lastly, the staff are outstanding and give you the upmost diligent service. I always have a great time chatting with whoever is helping me from the hostesses to the servers. All are so kind and take tons of pride in representing their incredible place of work. Always a 10/10, so so recommend!

Whatever the cost, this place is worth it. I can see how some places in Austin are total tourist traps but this is not one of them. Don't let the Instagram appeal fool you. Service was impeccable, our waiter checked in on us frequently and was very knowledgeable about the menu. The decor was detailed and very appealing. They even had a coveted swing for seating. The food was very fresh with an eclectic menu and a small but diverse cocktail menu. The pork belly bao was one of my favorites anywhere. The crispy barbacoa dumpling was absolutely delicious. The dining area isnt that large so I'd highly recommend reservations during peak hours.

Absolute excellent food. The chicken Karagge (not sure if I spelled it correctly) was unbelievably scrumptious and out of this world. Also the sushi plates were amazing. Everything was good, but the service wasn’t very attentive. And the seating was uncomfortable. Still a pretty good experience overall and highly recommend it!

Chef’s tasting? Oh, absolutely. I don’t eat sushi that often, but this experience had me ready to convert. I did the 5-course chef’s tasting—chef’s choice all the way—and every plate was a little masterpiece. I’m not gonna list each dish (go check the menu if you’re curious), but just know it was fire from start to finish. The vibe in this place? Straight-up dope. Cool, colorful, and cozy. Like Tokyo took a detour through South Congress and decided to stay. Let’s talk drinks: I had the Seasonal Mule—vodka, peach, lemon, and ginger beer. Light, fresh, and a little feisty. I could’ve had two but I like to stay humble. Bonus highlight: My granddaughter got the spinach and shiitake dumplings and y’all—she was in dumpling heaven. That girl doesn’t play when it comes to her food, and she gave ‘em the thumbs up. They also have a happy hour menu that’s definitely worth checking out. I’m already plotting .

The food was great! Due to the fish it does have a smell but it's tolerable. I think anyone who enjoys sushi like I do would be 100% okay with the smell of fresh fish. It is definitely not an overwhelming smell though, it's a faint smell that you get used to after a few minutes.

Cute place located in a good shopping and other food district. Street and close parking. It has traditional Japanese seating and normal design. Probably can do 2-6 for seating. We did not have a reservation however I do recommend it if you want to be sure to get a seat. The food was great excerpt for the ramen. I would not come here for ramen. But the Bao buns, and everything else was delicious. There is indoor and outdoor seating.
