First, a note to sushi lovers: There are a lot of sushi places in Austin, considering the population here. I don't really know what the reason is, but this city is just packed with sushi bars. So if you love sushi, you'll like it here. Check out
austinsushi.com, a blog about eating sushi in Austin. And if you're a very experienced and picky sushi eater, head straight to
Uchi, which boasts one of the best sushi chefs in the country. (
Listed in Food & Wine magazine as one of the best new chefs of 2005)
Ok, now on to Maiko...
Maiko is a trendy and somewhat pricey sushi place downtown. However, they have a happy hour every day with discounted sushi, appetizers and drinks, so check their
website for the happy hour times. On Sundays, they have $1 sake carafes! We were there for the Saturday happy hour, so we got cheaper sushi but no $1 sake carafe. :-(
We decided to eat at the sushi bar, so we could stare at the chefs. Hot sake carafe, $3. Cold sake, $7. Veggie spring rolls, $4.
Nigiri, between $3 and $4 for two pieces. Kappa Maki roll, $4.
