Lucky Robot Restaurant

When visiting Austin for a business trip, we were staying in the area and stumbled across the happy hour here. The specials were great, so we ordered almost everything on the happy hour menu for the group and nothing disappointed. The food was not just delicious, but also an experience in many cases. We also ordered the dry aged blue fin (never had dry aged fish), which was a flavor that stays with you. Wish we had tried more, but will have to come back!

This has been one of my favorite restaurants in Austin for years, and it’s first on my list to show visitors. The food is incredible and the decorations are so cool (bonus points for all the disco balls). My most recent experience was better than I could’ve expected- every single staff member really went above and beyond to make our meal as enjoyable as possible. Apart from our incredible waiter, we also especially enjoyed Kevin at the sushi bar. Another staff member also saw me save a little bit of sauce and then brought me a bowl of it. The food was incredible as always but the group of staff here is so commendable and made the experience unforgettable.

I would like to shout out Aaron for his absolutely incredible, hospitable, professional and extremely helpful service on a very busy Saturday night. After seeing a show at The Continental we were walking to our car and the incredible dishes we saw on people's tabes made us walk directly into Lucky Robot. We asked to be seated outside and within seconds Aaron was guiding us through the entire menu. We had the edamame, spinach and shiitake dumplings, Dill-E, Hiramasa Shrimp Battle, and miso soup. I think I could come back here daily for the Shrimp Battle. It had the perfect amount of kick with the beautifully sliced jalapeños. The dumplings were delicious and the Dill-E roll was fantastic as well. Aaron's treatment of us truly made our night. His kindness had a profound effect on our

Whatever the cost, this place is worth it. I can see how some places in Austin are total tourist traps but this is not one of them. Don't let the Instagram appeal fool you. Service was impeccable, our waiter checked in on us frequently and was very knowledgeable about the menu. The decor was detailed and very appealing. They even had a coveted swing for seating. The food was very fresh with an eclectic menu and a small but diverse cocktail menu. The pork belly bao was one of my favorites anywhere. The crispy barbacoa dumpling was absolutely delicious. The dining area isnt that large so I'd highly recommend reservations during peak hours.

We celebrated our 32nd wedding anniversary at Lucky Robot and had such a great night. Everything was amazing, the food, the drinks, and the overall vibe. We sat at the sushi bar and loved chatting with several of the sushi chefs, Joaquin and Freddy. They made the experience really fun and memorable. Our waiter was excellent too and took great care of us all evening.
