Super-Fresh Sashimi and Teriyaki Skewers
Cedar Park is home to a few distinguished Asian restaurants, including Daichi, a superior sushi restaurant. For special occasions or whenever the mood for sophisticated dining strikes, Cedar Park has several excellent high-end restaurants as well. Daichi Sushi and Grill serves gracefully plated super-fresh sashimi and sushi, as well as items from the grill, and boasts a good selection of sake and Japanese beer.
The restaurant’s decor is modest, but elegant. And the service is attentive, sweet, and outstanding. Loyal diners recommend the spicy crab lettuce wraps, and the sweet uni sushi whenever it’s available, as well as teriyaki skewers and the udon and ramen soups. The spicy crab wraps are a delicately balanced blend of flavors. Each wrap is a medium-sized bite with spicy minced crab in a delicious sauce on a small piece of lettuce.
