Neptune Brings Better Sushi to Austin Without the Fuss
Neptune is the kind of place you wouldn’t expect to get excited about. It’s delivery only. No seating. No storefront. Just sushi and bowls, straight to your door. But once you try it, you get it.
The concept comes from Nova Hospitality, and yeah, they’re known for doing things with intention. Neptune is led by Chef Dimitri Voutsinas, who clearly cares about what goes into the food and what doesn’t. The whole menu is gluten free, seed oil free, and refined sugar free. That sounds a little intimidating on paper, but when you eat it, it just tastes clean. Not health-food clean. Just real.
You can build your own donburi or poke bowl starting with sushi rice sweetened with palm sugar, buckwheat soba noodles, or greens. Then you stack it with protein. Sustainably sourced salmon. Grass-fed Texas Wagyu. Organic tofu if that’s your move. Toppings are colorful, crisp, and the sauces are honestly the star. Spicy mayo made with avocado oil. Yuzu truffle. Wasabi ranch. Sweet miso. They didn’t hold back.
If you don’t feel like building anything, you can order chef-curated sushi rolls instead. There’s one with Bluefin Tuna and truffle emulsion. Another with Texas Wagyu and wasabi chimichurri. Even the veggie rolls slap. The mushroom one with gochujang and crispy onion is unexpectedly solid.
There are also sushi boxes if you’re feeding more than just yourself. The Sushi Social is probably the move for groups. It comes loaded with tuna, salmon, hamachi, and king oyster mushroom nigiri. There’s even one called Big Fish Energy. That name kind of sells itself.
Rounding things out, there’s karaage chicken with wasabi ranch, matcha cheesecake, and a Tokyo banana rice pudding that doesn’t feel like an afterthought. You can tell the snacks weren’t just tacked on.
Neptune is open for delivery Monday through Friday from eleven to two thirty. You can order at neptunesushi dot com or through all the usual delivery apps. They do catering too.
Also, and this is worth mentioning, fifty percent of all profits in July are being donated to Texas Search and Rescue to support flood relief. So yeah, it’s sushi that shows up and gives back.
It’s new. It’s clean. And it actually hits.
