Ngon Quá Foodie Blog: Sushi Koen (Round Rock)

My wife and I were at the IKEA and decided to try out Sushi Koen (https://goroundrock.com/dining/sushi-koen/) for dinner because it was right there in the same shopping center. How did we find it? On Google Maps. :) The restaurant was small but the atmosphere was quiet and relaxing.

We ordered the house salad and spicy garlic edamame to share. We then ordered the Koen Sashimi Combination (chef choice) (pictured below) as our main dish. I was a little hungrier than my wife so I also ordered the ramen noodle bowl.

The food was fantastic! The salad was refreshing. The edamame had good flavor. The ramen noodle was super tasty - the chashu pork was juicy and tender and the egg yolk was still runny! As for the main course, the chef gave us a wonderful selection of fresh, melt-in-your-mouth cuts of fish. It was DELICIOUS! It was just the right amount for the both of us and rather inexpensive compared to one of our favorite sushi places in Austin - Ichi Umi (https://ichiumisushitx.com/menu/18710912).

Ichi Umi is still our favorite sushi place because of the selection and, my favorite, the zaru soba. However, Sushi Koen is a wonderful alternative so we are glad we tried it out.
