Serving a whopping variety of sushi and a small selection of Japanese appetizers, this under-advertised restaurant features fine fish and friendly service. Though expensive, it is certainly one of the best in Austin. The original location is above the Elephant Room on Congress Avenue. The new one is north of the Arboretum, across from the Brick Oven. This Austin eatery provides a nice mix of austerity and comfort.
Service is attentive and the sushi chefs are quite knowledgeable.
While the sushi is outstanding, some of the Japanese dishes sometimes sacrifice innovation for consistency. D.K. Lee furnishes beautifully presented, moderately priced sushi crafted from the freshest cuts of fish in spare, clean, appealing environs. The creamy, butter-soft yellowtail deserves the most attention. The result has a rich flavor, a delicious departure from the typical healthy-fresh sushi roll. Service is reasonably quick, and the presentation is an explosion of color, with the individual pieces artfully prepared.
