We just found a new sushi/hibachi place in North Austin, where 183 and 620 cross. In the same parking lot as the local Home Depot and Walmart, behind the Schlotzsky's and the IHOP, impossible to see from the road, is Momiji Hibachi & Sushi.
They've only been open a few weeks at this point, but holy cow! That was good.
I tried really hard not to go overboard, but by the end of the night, I had...
Edamame.... Miso soup... 2 sushi rolls, and (shame on me) a fried banana. Tempura style. With whipped cream on top.
MSH shared the Edamame, helped with the sushi, but ordered the Seafood Udon. I haven't had noodles that good since we left Portland, OR.
Queso was the adventurous one. While I ordered a spicy tuna roll and a sweet potato roll, Queso ordered a Spider Roll (soft shell crab), and a Caterpillar roll. That one bears special mention. Eel and cucumber inside the roll, and slices of soft avocado formed around the outside so that when it came out, it looked like someone had chopped up a caterpillar and served it on a plate. The picture really doesn't do it justice.
Meanwhile, the fried banana also bears mention. Battered and fried tempura-style, it was as though I had encountered some kind of Platonic Ideal Banana. Das Ubernana. Served with whipped cream, a raspberry, and some kind of Deluxe Pocky. Again, the picture hardly does it justice.
So, we had an appetizer, 4 sushi rolls, MSH's Udon & Lemonade, and two desserts. Luckily, because they put the sushi on 1/2 price Sun - Thurs (at least during this Grand Opening season they're still in) it was pretty darn reasonable.
If you're in the area, I highly recommend it. I know we'll be going back soon.
