Odaku
2501 W. Parmer #500, 834-9304 Monday-Friday, 11am-2:30pm, 5-10pm; Saturday, 11am-10pmWhat a pleasant surprise! Who would have thought a little, out-of-the-way restaurant would hold such treasures? When you walk in, you'll see glass-covered, peach-colored tablecloths with comfortable chairs. The eight-seat sushi bar is intimate and inviting. We went straight for the hamachi and uni. Both were terrifically fresh and perfectly presented. In most things Japanese, it's the little things that count. One of the most difficult and least understood aspects of sushi is the rice. Odaku had the best rice we've tried in Austin. The attention to detail carried over to the gorgeous presentations.
