Otoko Austin Reviews from The Last Year
The Good: :: it's a local business! :: really great
The Good: :: it's a local business! :: really great interior, very stylish and sleek :: service was very attentive :: very professional presentation and description of the food being served :: fish is extremely fresh and flavorful :: this is the only place in town where I actually enjoyed eating uni (sea urchin). they did it that damn well and that flavorful, so hat's off to the team! :: you will leave this omakase experience very full The Bad: :: felt like the team didn't really engage much. compared to other omakase places in town, there seemed to be less engagement, less warmth, less fun. it felt a bit pretentious is the best way i'd describe it, and I don't think it's what they intended but execution is what matters The Ugly: :: they finish some of the nigiri off with too much salt! the reviews I saw before I went made me nervous but they were accurate, unfortunately. being one of the most (if not THE most) expensive omakase experiences, they should have their A-game in place. however, with the multiple oversaltiness experienced serving after serving, it really took away from the entire experience Would I go back? Probably not. It's a bit insane that for the price you pay, you aren't able to speak to the food confidently due to the level of saltiness. This place is OUT.
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 a couple cocktails while waiting. The counter seating at the dinner was very intimate, and it seems they stagger the seating times so the groups next to us were ahead by a few courses. One of the other guests went out of her way to recommend we get the uni add on - we took her advice and were very glad we did! All the dishes were very flavorful, and seemed to be a fusion of traditional and modern. I loved the smokiness of the hamachi, and flavor of the foie gras chawanmushi was so savory. The menu was personalized with a birthday message and it was helpful to have so we could refer back to it while we enjoyed the dishes. We also got to keep it as a 'souvenir' which was a nice touch. Overall the pacing was good, the dishes were very unique, and I think it was great value for the price (we did the kaiseki-ryori). Would highly recommend for a special occasion!
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 portion was very well orchestrated. 20 courses that we had opted for the wine pairing with. 20 courses sounds like quite a lot but to be honest, you don't leave feeling like you overdid it. Each course is a one bite Nigri that is completely composed with nothing more to do besides popping it in your mouth and enjoying. Every course was unique and well thought out. The last few courses were a little more involved. The Nigri is complete and you enjoy a variety of crudos and a finishing dessert course of delicate Mochi with a Nori wrap, a tiny sesame cookie A small shot of a warm creamy Matcha drink. Definitely one of my high points in sushi dining.

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's such an expensive place that I expected more from the food, not just complexity.
What a magical omakase experience - each bite meticulously
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!
This place is amazing! The food quality is great--it was
This place is amazing! The food quality is great--it was some the best sushi and such I've had, not only in Texas, but the US. The fish melted in your mouth and they had just enough flavoring to enhance the fish rather than mask it. There were some unusual ingredients but nothing too off the wall. One of the dishes featured a whole cooked small crab and the staff was really good at explaining that the crab would have the same type of crunch as a kettle chip. It was delicious. The service was great and it was fun to watch the food preparation. The ambiance is intimate and fun. We enjoyed talking to the folks sitting next to us at the counter. It took us a few tries to score a reservation and we enjoyed the condensed menu on Tuesday evening. For the quality of the food and number of dishes (15 courses) I thought I value of the condensed menu was good. Can't wait for next visit.

I came here with my boyfriend for his birthday and we both really enjoyed it! We got here a little too early so we ended up getting drinks from watertrade, which is the bar right next to otoko. Moody, beautiful, with low lighting, it was such a perfect little space with amazing drinks. The drink came with a stamped ice cube and the attention to detail was great. As for Otoko, we loved the personalized message in the menu for my boyfriend's birthday. The dishes included more than just sushi and my favorite was the shirumoni which was an asian pear soup. All the sushi was incredibly fresh and delicious. Definitely a great spot for a special occasion.
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 parking too! We start by toasting at the Watertrade bar (part of Otoko, but you may also come to just this separately), and then guided upstairs to enjoy 12 courses.

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, service watching everything making sure you need nothing. The only 2 things I'll point out on service is they never offered the wine tasting, which I probably would have done if I had known about it, and after finishing my first drink it took them a while after clearing my glass to ask if I wanted something else. But these are quite minor. The food... each bite was better than the previous. The sushi chef was fun and engaging making the whole experience a blast.
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.

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it? |
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.

I am having a tough time contacting and elucidating a response from AT Support. I had a listing at 6pm, which was a mistake as the actual listing reservation was at 11pm.

Banned from Resy for selling reservations- Do we have a rat on our hands???
I am new to this app and started off by selling a polo bar reservation and then quickly sold one more reservation. Not long after I received emails from Resy saying all my reservations are cancelled and I am being banned from Resy for life. How could this have possibly happened without a rat telling Resy that I sold the reservation. I need some advice on this situation and let’s catch the rat!
