I thought the pieces of sushi were very small. It did tase good. There are other places here in Austin that serve great tasting sushi, and the pieces are much thicer cut, ad the price is uch less. The big turnoff for me was when the head chef got upset and in a low voice chewed out one of the helpers in front of us. Other people did not notice his action, but we did and were very disturbed by his actions. A professional would have made his correction in the back room not in front of customers.

Truly a fascinating dining experience, he has all the wild that he has from being in a rock band, but also the attention to detail for a sushi chef. Some wild flavors you won't taste elsewhere, well worth the price and the

My boyfriend took me to Otoko as a surprise for our anniversary and new years eve. All I can say is WOW! It’s difficult to eat normal food after such an incredible experience, I can’t stop thinking about it. The service was absolutely fantastic, very intimate and personal which I loved. Everyone was so kind and friendly. I loved the entire omakase. Every dish I tried was like magic to my tastebuds. I was exhausted after a 16 hour flight the day before and this dinner truly brought me back to life. My boyfriend got the omakase with wine pairings and I got the sake pairing. I will say it is a lot of drinks, but each and every one was well thought out for each portion of the dinner. I hope to come back again and again!

Service felt extremely rushed. Sushi was good but nothing special. Definitely had better more imaginative omakases before. Tea and wine pairings were nothing to write home about. For having put down almost a grand just to reserve the reservation - this place was absolutely not worth it.

What a magical omakase experience - each bite meticulously crafted with love and admiration for the chef and cuisine. All of the staff were top notch, enhancing the experience along the way. There are two easy to follow rules: leave your gold plate on the counter for plating and don't put ginger on your sushi, simple and sensible. Our neighbors could not follow the two rules which was a little distracting. We however excelled at following along. What a special meal, maybe the best I have had in Austin!

One of the best and most adventurous omasake that I have tasted. Had an interesting fusion with texan/Mexican heritage. Will come back

This place is a bucket list restaurant. Chef Yoshi is an artist and all of the surrounding staff are the best of the best. I've never had better omakase, and this is in my top 5 for best meals all-time. And the bar, Watertrade, is equally amazing. You have to book 2 months in advance but if you ever get the chance to dine here, I promise you will not be disappointed.

Going to Otoko is definitely one of the highlights of our year. It was obvious that every aspect of the experience was thoughtfully designed. 10/10 I'll be recommending this to everyone visiting ATX.

The dining experience at Otoko was exceptional! We were traveling in from Chicago and decided to do Otoko’s tasting menu and it did not disappoint! The sashimi course was probably our favorite, everything melted in your mouth. The flavors were unlike anything we had ever had and each course was better than the next. From greeting us with a welcome cocktail to having our names printed on the menu, every detail was perfection. The waitstaff and chefs were wonderful, you could tell they love and take great pride in what they do. So glad we decided to dine here! Highly recommend!

Otoko was a fantastic experience and offered some of the best sushi in Austin. It’s still close between (sushi by scratch, uchi and now otoko). We came on a weekend and did get some dishes we didn’t care for (I’m looking at you egg dish). As a whole though, it was phenomenal. I did read on Wednesdays it was sushi-only and wish that happened more days of the week.
