    What makes it fun

    OTOKO is a highly-acclaimed, 12-seat Japanese-modern restaurant on South Congress. The multi-course omakase experience blends Tokyo-style sushi and kyoto-style kaiseki for a blended menu crafted seasonally from the best ingredients. In Japanese, omakase means, "I'll leave it up to you." While you give up control of what you eat, you can expect to enjoy a series of brilliant, intriguing dishes.

    Otoko pays great attention to details and shares a unique experience in Austin! Fresh sushi is flown in from the best places in Japan and the creatives dishes bring out the fresh flavors especially with yuzu in the summer. Classic omakase is the move and will have you filled. Highlights: Hokkaido Hotate and Uni, and finished with the Yakimono (Iberico pork)

    Great meal, we have been before but had never done the Wednesday nigiri tasting before so that was different and really good. The amberjack, oyster and sashimi dishes were the highlights. The hamachi bbq at the end was also incredible. The dessert was so delicious and super cute with a little shovel spoon. Loved the small touches! The summer samurai drink was amazing and a great pairing throughout the meal.

    The whole crew made sure we have a great experience. The Omakase experience served 20 extremely tasty courses and was more than enough for me to feel full. The cocktails were amazing 👌

    This was the first time I had sushi in my life. Otoko ruined it for me. I usually dont eat fish as I'm not fond of the flavor. However, Otoko changed this. I more than likely won't be able to eat any other sushi that is of lesser quality. This was a life changing experience for somebody like me. To change my thoughts/opinions on a food that I have disliked my entire life means this place is something special. Now, being from Texas, one thing I do know and love is beef. The Wagyu items that were served were an out of body experience. I've had Wagyu at several places in Texas and Japan. Most places in Texas Wagyu is a gimmick. Not here at Otoko, this is the real deal and a must try/have. Thanks to the entire team at Otoko for this experience!
