Otoko Austin Beoordelingen
Otoko is one of the best omakase restaurants in Austin.
The rice is perfectly made. The food tastes sublime. I went for both the traditional and sushi-focused omakases. It's a personal preference but I liked the sushi-focused omakase better, but you can't go wrong with either.

For those who love hidden gems, find the rusted door upstairs the courtyard of the South Congress Hotel. Otoko comes with layers of secrets. Behind the rusted door, you'll be greeted by a hostess who will direct you to your dining experience eit

This restaurant is selling lab grown salmon, they may contaminate other food with that lab grown material.
I would not be surprised if this wins a Michelin in 2026.
The attention to detail in every dish with the quality of service makes this an easy win. Tucked behind the South Congress Hotel, it almost feels like a speakeasy. What I love is how they invite you for a drink before, either a sparkling wine or sake
The 21 courses were exactly what we expected.
Unfortunately, we felt rushed and then we were hushed by our server for being too loud. The price didn't match the experience. We won't be back.
Otoko service was fantastic.
The vibe was immaculate, decor, the music, personalized menus. Everything felt modern, a little alternative. We did miss the first course which I don't factor into our rating because that was on us for arriving late. Be sure to plan to arrive
Delicious food, but could be better
WARNING: you will smell like smoke when you leave this restaurant/bar. Plan accordingly! The food was delicious, and that is what matters most to me. Some servings were not traditional, but the chef clearly knows his flavors and, as such, I enjoyed

My boyfriend surprised me with this dinner for my birthday and it was phenomenal! 10/10 experience on food and service. It's very small and intimate but would highly recommend. Definitely on the pricier side but for a special occasion it's

Otoko was ROBBED of a star - plain and simple.
Chef Yoshi and his amazing team deliver each and every time (we have been 5 times since moving to Austin 3 years ago). Otoko was our first Austin omakase experience and it remains our favorite (and yes, we've done all the others). The staff a
Incredible.
A great experience. A special occasion spot. Looking forward to going back.
Hurtful and rude
Hoping to indulge in the widely celebrated dinner experience at Otoko, my wife and I forked over our $500 payment a month in advance, all in anticipation of a memorable wedding anniversary evening. What we received, however, was far from the luxury a

5 but would have graded it as such Otoko Omakase has its highs and lows. The service was a lowlight this time, lacking the attentiveness / friendliness you'd expect, and we felt rushed from dish to dish as if they wanted to get us out early. Ho
What a beautiful experience to celebrate a special occasion.
We were in good hands with chef in his selections. Can't wait to go back!
A decent attempt at omakase but falls short in a few areas.
Perhaps I'm being a touch unfair, but I am comparing this to Michelin starred omakases I've had around the world. It makes an attempt but falls a bit short in the little things that make the difference. Generally the food was ok. Only stand out dis

I recently celebrated a birthday here, and it was one of the best dining experiences I've had in Austin. Everything, from the food to the service to the ambiance, was flawless from start to finish. We began at the cocktail bar, Watertrade, which off
Honestly one of the must try places in Austin.
Yoshi is a master of his craft and the omakase is a scintillating experience. There's only several seats available per night so book ahead. They seem to seat 4 at a time so there's points where it feels like private dining. I completely understand o

This was an amazing experience if you love Japanese food.
I took my boyfriend here for his birthday and we were blown away by the attention to detail in both the food and service. We arrived 30 minutes before our reservation and were seated at the bar next door to enjoy a welcome drink, and then we ordered
Everything about this place is special.
We arrived about 30 minutes early and enjoyed a very creative cocktail in the lounge along with some great conversation with very professional mixologists. They were friendly and gave us lots of insight as what to expect for dinner. The dinner portio

I guess this is one of those places you go for "the experience" and the exclusivity. Very high end. Visually beautiful. Personalized menu where they print out your name. There was a lot of dishes but I thought that only a few stood out. It

First Omakase and it was a great experience! My favorites
First Omakase and it was a great experience! My favorites are the nigiri with lemon/lime zest as well as the olive oil ice cream! So delicious!! Service is great-we have our chairs pulled out and the course ingredients are explained. They validate
What to say about Otoko.
Out of this world experience, from the service to the ambiance to the food itself. You start off with a drink at the bar that is connected and then are moved into the small but very well setup sushi counter. From there the full experience starts, se
Great Food, Service/Experience lacking given price tag
As others have mentioned, the food was amazing, but the service is quite subpar. It is an odd paradox of fine dining restaurant, and casual service - not what one expects for $500pp
Out of the world experience.
We've had Omakase at several top places in Austin and Bay area. Otoko is a step above any other sushi omakase we've had. Chef Yoshi's passion and his talent shines through every piece.

An amazing experience! 20 course omakase where every bite is off balance (in the best way) and delicious. The ambiance created by chef Yoshi Okai is rock n' roll meets perfectionist with complex cocktails and food, that together, creates a confluence
I book @otokoaustin every year for my birthday.
It's one of the most unique experiences in Austin. Sooo many amazing flavors and delicious pieces. Sadly, I'll be out of the country this year. But I may try to sneak it in before I leave...

This is the best sushi we have had in Austin, and by far the best Omakase. Highly recommend coming here for a special day (or everyday if you can afford it). The parking situation is a little iffy. There is a garage on the side of the SoCo hotel that

Arguably best restaurant in Austin, albeit pricey.
I first ate here here many years ago in 2017 shortly after it opened. It was $150 for tasting, or $200 for a larger menu on Wednesday only (which I did at the time). In 2022 my wife and I tried to get a reservation for many months, probably close to
Fresh, Flavorful, Tasty, Trendy, Expensive…but Worth It
Otoko, and it’s collocated bar Watertrade, combine to provide a luxury dining experience in South Central Austin that is a foodie must. Granted, it’s an expensive treat, but the unique flavors and food preparation make it worthwhile….though sit
The space (including Watertrade) is beautiful.
This is my fourth time, and I have come to the realization that I think the second half of the omakase is unimpressive. The first ten courses of sushi are delicious, but all four times (over a period of five years) the second half of the menu lea
I was not impressed at all.
For the price, you would think that the menu would be better, but there were a lot of strange dishes that were incredibly salty. I remember reading someone's review about how they felt like the dishes were trying too hard to be complex but fell right

Kopers kunnen weloverwogen beslissingen nemen met behulp van geautomatiseerde verkopersbeoordelingen, die eerdere transacties en betrouwbaarheid weerspiegelen.

Stel, Peter heeft een geweldige ochtend en besluit zijn drie vrienden mee te nemen naar Otoko Austin om 18:00 uur diezelfde dag.
Hij controleert de website van het restaurant en ziet dat er geen reserveringen beschikbaar zijn. Vervolgens bekijkt hij de Otoko Austin pagina op AppointmentTrader, maar ontdekt dat er ook geen aanbiedingen van andere gebruikers zijn.
Daar komt het door de community aangedreven biedproces van pas.
Peter kan een bod plaatsen op AppointmentTrader. Dit bod dient als beloning voor ieder communitylid dat helpt om de reservering te regelen. AT stuurt dan notificaties naar ervaren gebruikers die mogelijk kunnen helpen.
Stapsgewijs Proces
1.) Beloning Instellen (Bod)
* AppointmentTrader gebruikt historische data om een redelijk beloningsbedrag aan te bevelen voor het regelen van een reservering – stel, $100.
* Peter wil er graag heen, dus verhoogt hij het bod (de beloning) naar $200.
* Op dit punt bestaat de reservering nog niet.
2.) Een Communitygebruiker Neemt het Bod Op
* EternalAnt36, een ervaren AT-gebruiker, heeft veel succes met het regelen van reserveringen en ontvangt weinig terugbetalingsverzoeken. Zij ontvangen een melding van Peter’s bod van $200.
* EternalAnt36 neemt het bod op, wat betekent dat zij nu gaan proberen de reservering te regelen.
* Peter kan nu met EternalAnt36 overleggen als hij vragen heeft terwijl EternalAnt36 het bod probeert te vervullen.
3.) De Reservering Vinden
* EternalAnt36 gebruikt nu hun contacten bij Otoko Austin om de tafel te regelen.
* Als het lukt om de tafel voor vier om 18:00 uur te bemachtigen, krijgt Peter een bevestiging dat de reservering geslaagd is.
* Als EternalAnt36 de reservering niet kan regelen, gaat het bod terug in de pool zodat een andere gebruiker het kan proberen.
4.) Betaling & Bescherming
* Zodra de reservering is geregeld, ontvangt EternalAnt36 de $200 beloning, die wordt bijgeschreven op het AT-saldo van EternalAnt36. Gebruikers beheren hun eigen saldo en kunnen laten uitbetalen via opties zoals bankoverschrijving, PayPal of Zelle.
* Peter kan nu genieten van het diner met zijn vrienden bij Otoko Austin!
* Zoals bij alle transacties op AT worden geschillen en no-show kosten afgehandeld via het community-gedreven resolutiesysteem van het platform. Gebruikers met een sterke reputatie worden gestimuleerd om biedingen succesvol te vervullen, en communityleden kunnen problemen melden om het vertrouwen in de marktplaats te waarborgen.
