π£ ALL YOU CAN EAT SUSHI π£
@machisushiatx has all you can eat sushi! This is the perfect spot for a special dinner for your teens who never seem to get full (spoiler alert: they will finally be full lol!)
π 2200 S I-35 Frontage Rd, Austin
π§ My kids all like boba tea so we got that too (itβs not all you can drink fyi!) They also love Ramune Japanese soda where you pop the little ball inside and watch it fizz so we got those too!
π£The sushi was delicious! The Shaggy Dog was our favorite roll.
π£My youngest isnβt a big eater, so we were able to order a single roll for him a la carte and not pay the All You Can Eat price!
π¦The fried ice cream at the end was a fun experience too.

πΊ HOPS FOR HOUSES BEER PASSPORT πΊ
Right now the beer passport is only $20 (lowest price ever!) and you get a beer at 16 places! Thatβs practically a dollar per beer!
π The link to purchase is in my bio! All proceeds will benefit @habitatwilcotx
How it works:
1οΈβ£ Buy a beer passport at the link in my bio. You will get one beer at 16 local businesses. Right now itβs only $20 (but will eventually go up to $25).
2οΈβ£ Bring your passport with you once it arrives in the mail. I recommend keeping it in your purse or your car so you donβt forget it. There is no way to use the passport electronically. If you forget to bring it with you, you are out of luck!
3οΈβ£ The brewery will stamp your passport and you will select one free beer. Some spots let you choose whatever you want and others have a limited passport menu.
4οΈβ£ Use your passport as early as Dec 1 and all the way through April 30, 2025!
Several of the spots on this passport are kid friendly! Hereβs the list of participating businesses:
πΊ @austinbeerworks (turfed play area)
πΊ @sprinklevalley_abw (playground)
πΊ @stwbrewing (playground)
πΊ @barkingarmadillo (turfed area and indoor arcade)
πΊ @theloosescrewtaylor (brewery inside @oldtaylorhigh with a huge outdoor space plus a candy/ice cream shop and arcade inside)
