You realize somewhere in your thirteenth-or-so course at OTOKO that what Chef Yoshi Okai and his talented culinary team craft during each omakase service is way beyond just an Austin bucket list reservation, and more a full-on sensory experience, nightly. With each perfectly-timed plating placed in front of you, Chef's own personal playlist rollicking through decades and influences, seasonal produce and fresh fish arriving daily, the full Watertrade cocktail menu to pair, and just twelve seats to take in the action, it highly worth the hype.
Make a plan for your next uni move: tickets are now open through 12.31.24 (including a celebratory NYE service and a special Halloween kaiseki!) and bookable via Tock: https://www.exploretock.com/otoko/
