Lucky Robot is the first sushi restaurant in Texas to partner with the James Beard Foundation and Monterrey Bay Aquarium sustainability programs. We are committed to healthy oceans.

Our kitchen is lead by two time Ora King Finalist Jay Huang. Our food is Modern Nikkei cuisine, a balance of Japanese cuisine accentuated with the fragrant chilies and aromatic spices of Latin America.

Prime dry-aged fish is here. A tradition started over 200 years ago in Tokyo and now the first in Texas. Prime Dry Aged Fish will allow you to taste the fish in its purest form. Breaking down tissues and sugars allows new flavors and textures that bring the fish to its cleanest, most tender form. Age = Flavor.

For parties of six or more, please see our Large Party Information under Contact at our website (https://www.luckyrobotatx.com/).

Please note: Last seating for Omakase Experiences are 30 minutes prior to close

    Great ambiance and wonderful food. On the pricey side (most rolls were in the $20-25 range) but worth it for unique dishes and incredible bites. I tried the Hari Hari and Spider Rolls ($16-18) as well as the Pork Belly Bao Bun ($8). The bao bun was delicious and filling. Of the two rolls, I’d order the Spider again, they put apple in the roll which I was unsure of but adds a perfect crunch and lifts the taste with a hint of sweet. Definitely would return.

    First time here & super impressed with ambiance, service and quality of food! We went for a double birthday lunch celebration today (Sunday 2/23/25) & we were greeted with a warm welcome & seated right away with our reservation. Bradey was our server & he was friendly, patient with our questions & attentive! Great experience from start to finish & all 4 of us LOVED everything we ordered! We will be back & highly recommend Lucky Robot to anyone looking for a delicious meal! Thank you :)

    Our experience at Lucky Robot was awesome. Celebrated a birthday and decided to go with the Omakase. First time trying this and it did not disappoint. All the selections brought out by our server where top tier. Service was exceptional.

    Took my 13 yr old daughter, who has an adventurous palate, for a daddy/daughter date. Food was excellent, we loved the pork and ginger dumplings and the ramen was just right for her! Willow was also an excellent server! 😊

    Love the place but service was not as we usually receive and there was a large piece of tuna fat on our serving board next to the roll....roll was great but that was a little gross

    The front of house staff is extremely disorganized and rather rude. We showed up 5 minutes early to check in and they asked us to leave only to allow about 40 people in immediately after we walked outside to wait. Extremely unprofessional behavior. The food was absolutely incredible though. I’d go again with the understand you’re dealing with relatively young and rude front of house staff. Our server was delightful and you could sense how frustrated she was with the host staff. She was excellent.

    I loveeeee this restaurant. Food was amazing and we ordered many different items from drinks to sushi. Everything was amazing - staff and our waiter were lovely. Ambiance in this place is unmatched and value for the money is really good. I was raving about our experience all day after lunch and I’m looking forward to whenever we go back!! This was our second time here and it was just as good as I recalled - their takeout options also look amazing so I’m looking forward to ordering from here in the future!! What a great little spot in Austin and I love it very much!!

    Didn’t really live up to our expectations , but maybe because we didn’t know this is Peruvian - Japanese fusion restaurant when we expected modern Japanese.

    Food is absolutely amazing and was delighted to try some newer dishes added to the menu since last time I was there. Giving 4 stars as our party, which included a 2 mo baby, had to wait over 10 minutes post our reservation time to be seated, even when other tables were available in the same area, and got some atitude from the host (Saturday’s brunch). Our server though was really awesome!
