About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Hot spot
  • Charming
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

    Everything we ordered was delicious. We especially loved the swordfish, the pork belly nigiri, and the wagyu hot rock. Our server was very helpful in guiding us through the menu and ensuring everything we ordered was gluten free.

    Maybe the waiter was just having a bad day or maybe I came across a certain way. I felt the waiter communication/energy was completely different compared to the people that were sitting next to me and my friend. But, the food made up for it.

    We went here for lunch recently while in the SoCo area. We were thankful to get a reservation, as the place was so cute and the food was delicious! We told our server we were in a time crunch and they accommodated without any compromise in service. Well done! We heard there are moving locations soon, but we recommend this place if you’re in the area.
