What makes it fun

Only giving 3 stars because I stubble upon knowledge that they feed you with Salmon made in the lab: as in a cell taken from the animal and then "harvested" in a lab. ChatGpt says that the salmon is from a company name "Wildtype". Is the information from this source true?

One of the best dining experiences I've ever had. Both the chefs and staff were so welcoming and talented that it almost matched how excellent the meal was. We've been to some reputable omakase spots, but nothing matches how we'll this experience was executed.

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!
