I've been coming here for a few years and even with change in management it's still the same and the new dishes are amazing. I had katsu curry and loved it so much I always recommend for food and sushi
Hands down the best Sushi in Corpus Christi! If you go get the A.T.E roll, it is masterfully crafted and is perfection
The best sushi in Corpus IF you’re looking for Japanese food. Which you should be. You will not find 30 different 16 dollar rolls full of fried chicken and covered in strawberries here. This is an authentic Japanese restaurant. Try the sampler for a taste of festival street food. And if your starving, you’ve got to check out the big roll, a huge futomaki filled with tamagoyaki and daikon and all the good stuff.
I always enjoy this place. The atmosphere is nice and relaxing. The food is so delicious and fresh. The waitstaff is always polite and helpful. I usually order a meal and try some new sushi items I've never tried before. So far they have all been well made and delicious even if some weren't for me. The portions seem a bit small but then again I'm used to American sized so this feels even more authentic.
We originally wanted to try this place for the sea urchin, but unfortunately, they were out at this time. But the rest of the food was amazing! We did start with some escolar sashimi, which was delicious. I had the Origami Seafood Plate, and my husband had the Seafood Platter. Both were very good. They both came with soup and salad, with a nice dressing. The sauces on my plate really tied everything together. We definitely would like to go back and try some of their other dishes and rolls.
Origami has been a Corpus Christi essential establishment since 1990, I personally have been visiting since as long as I can remember, my picture proudly hangs on the wall, a small 3 old buried deep into his soup bowl. The food is always great, and the sushi a exercise in perfection and dedication to true Japanese cuisine. The staff has had it's ups and downs but has settled into a comfortable consistency that is both welcoming and efficient. The atmosphere takes you to Japan and is very homey. Overall I highly recommend this establishment. Ps try the Philadelphia Roll or the Dragon, both are excellent, and far better priced then many local rivals. If your in the mood for tempura its excellent and the Ginger steak while a smaller cut is always excellent.
Very impressed with Origami. Their menu is simple and the sushi is fresh and delicious. The service was excellent and even on a Friday night our dishes arrived quickly. This is the first sushi restaurant I've been to here in Corpus (and I've been to a lot) where hand rolls were on the menu. We'll definitely be going back.
On the verge of their 28th anniversary. I’m sad we just discovered this place. The sushi is very fresh and they offer a great variety. The staff was very welcoming and friendly.
