Top Roe is a Yōshoko Japanese restaurant located in Austin Texas. Created by Executive Chef Paul Qui, there are two experiences offered under one roof: Top Roe Izakaya and Top Roe Hand Roll. Our 12-seat handroll counter operates on a first come, first served basis. Because no one likes a soggy handroll, Top Roe’s handrolls are exclusively offered at the handroll counter. The handroll counter also encourages a 30-to-45-minute dining experience to preserve the integrity of the freshly made handrolls. Top Roe’s menu in the izakaya-style dining room offers a small plate menu featuring agemono(fried dishes), yakimono (grilled dishes) and cold plates dictated by what’s available from Qui’s favorite local farms and meat and seafood purveyors. Stay for a while if you’d like! The izakaya dining room is designed to welcome longer dining experiences than its in-and-out handroll bar counterpart.

    We’ve been here several times and the food and service are always good. The edamame is particularly unique, specials menu has nice variety for all parties (pork belly delicious), nigiri is high quality, tender and buttery. Wine selection nice.

    We had a great meal with a couple of first time visitors- the wagyu tacos and scallop nigiri were awesome! Our server, Victoria, was super knowledgeable about the menu as well. (Be prepared to spend a bit if you’re hungry, but it’s well worth the asking prices.)

    Had to wait for 20 minutes to be sat when we had a reservation. Understandable but when a place is supposedly upscale, it’s a bit frustrating. Overall good experience, the market selection is where you should spend your money.
