Hanami AYCE Sushi
About $35 buys a 120 minute sitting, and the fish worth spending it on is the yellowtail.1
Why go
The math is the whole argument, and Nicolai McCrary does it out loud for The Infatuation: if you're someone who can take down half a dozen rolls with ease, the quality is decent enough to justify the $35-ish price tag at dinner
.1 Six rolls in 120 minutes is the appetite that makes the price work. Order yellowtail and keep ordering it; his framing of the exercise is as much of it as you can eat in the allotted time.1 He is blunt about the rest. The nigiri rice comes cold and dense, the sashimi is cut thicker than he likes, a lot of the rolls taste similar to one another, and the fish overall is a small step up from what you'd find at H-E-B
. He scored it 6.7, and The Infatuation publishes what a 6 means: it can get the job done (depending on the job)
.1 The card runs over 130 items with more than 40 signature rolls, fresh-cut sashimi and a robata grill, plus cocktails and sake.2 The room at 7020 Easy Wind Drive Suite 100 is a recent tenancy: the same suite was inspected as Black Star Co-Op Pub and Brewery in January 2024, before the city marked that business closed.3
Order this / avoid
- Yellowtail, and a lot of it:
as much yellowtail as you can possibly eat in the allotted 120 minutes
.1 - Rolls, if you eat volume. Six or more is the appetite that makes the dinner price work.1
- Go easy on the nigiri.
The nigiri rice is a bit cold and dense
.1 - Sashimi comes cut thick.
The sashimi is thicker than we like
.1 - Do not order wide across the roll list expecting range.
A lot of the rolls taste similar to one another

What locals & experts say
- Nicolai McCrary, The Infatuation Austin, 6.7:
the quality is decent enough to justify the $35-ish price tag at dinner
. He places the room inAustin's growing scene of bottomless fish over rice
and says of the format that "you're not here to film your own Jiro Dreams of Sushi". Published February 2026, page-dated May 2026.1 - How that reads against the field: the same outlet scores Sushi Bang Bang in Cedar Park at 7.0 and Oumi Sushi All You Can Eat at 6.1, so this one lands in the middle of the city's all-you-can-eat bracket.1
- Ignore the testimonials on the venue's own site. They are anonymous five-star customer copy, the generic-review class, and none is quoted here.
Good to know
- The clock: the all-you-can-eat window runs 120 minutes.1
- Price: around $35 for the dinner sitting, as of the review.1
- Where it is: 7020 Easy Wind Dr Ste 100, 78752, in a complex that also holds a grocery and cafe, a coffee and dessert shop and several other kitchens, each inspected separately.3
- Hygiene: scored 79 on 4 March 2026. On Austin's 100-point scale 70 is the failing line, so that is a pass, and it sits below the register's rough median of 90. It is the only inspection on record for the kitchen, so there is no trend to read into it.3
- Call for hours. Nobody publishes them.
Verdict
listed — An all-you-can-eat sushi room in the Midtown Commons complex off Easy Wind Drive, in a suite that used to be a co-op brewpub. The Infatuation's Austin reviewer has now eaten here and scored it 6.7, which its own scale calls acceptable and not a first choice. He calls it a small step up from supermarket sushi, finds the sashimi thicker than he likes and the nigiri rice cold and dense, and says the rolls taste similar to one another. He also says the quality justifies the $35-ish dinner price if you can eat volume, and the sitting is capped at 120 minutes. The venue counts over 130 items, more than 40 signature rolls and a robata grill. The city has inspected it once, in March 2026, and scored it 79, which is a pass on Austin's scale and below the median. One inspection is not a trajectory. The verdict now exists and it is a moderate one, so this stays listed.
