EJ's Hot Pot & Sushi slipped into the lineup at The Shops at Arbor Walk this spring and has been quietly feeding northwest Austin since April 22. Inside, diners work their way down a buffet-style hot pot line, choosing broths and raw ingredients to cook right at the table, then pivot to a full sushi spread and a roster of boba and fruit teas. The hybrid setup is built for groups and families cruising the MoPac corridor who want a one-stop spot where everyone can find something.
According to Community Impact, EJ's opened on April 22 at 10515 N. MoPac, Ste. A150 and offers a range of broths, proteins, noodles, and vegetables that customers assemble at the buffet line. The outlet notes that its coverage links to the restaurant's site for more details and photos.
The restaurant's site lists nigiri, sashimi, and both raw and cooked rolls alongside the hot pot buffet, with drinks that include boba, fruit tea, and a selection of sake, soju, beer, and wine, according to the EJ's Hot Pot & Sushi website. The site presents the concept as an all-in-one dinner option that can work for casual weeknights or bigger gatherings.
The printed menu leans into the abundance, touting "All-You-Can-Eat Hot Pot & Sushi" with AYCE pricing listed at $22.99 for lunch and $34.99 for dinner, along with a two-hour dining limit and an 18% gratuity for parties of six or more, per EJ's menu. The menu also spells out a leftover surcharge and standard food-safety cautions, details worth scanning before you start loading up plates.
Where It Fits In The Arboretum Strip
EJ's lands in the middle of a busy mix of national chains and local restaurants at The Shops at Arbor Walk, an open-air center at 10515 N. MoPac that lists more than 30 stores and eateries, per The Shops at Arbor Walk directory. The spot is positioned to catch hungry crowds from the Arboretum, Great Hills, and nearby neighborhoods looking for a sit-down option close to the parking lot.
What To Know Before You Go
Apple Maps shows the restaurant's hours as roughly 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily and lists a contact number of (512) 291-2560, per Apple Maps. Calling ahead is smart for weekend groups, and both the restaurant's site and printed menu lay out the AYCE rules and pricing so you can walk in knowing the ground rules before the pots start bubbling.
