Craft Omakase,

4400 North Lamar Boulevard, Austin, TX 78756

"Went here to celebrate a couple things between my boyfriend and I (bday, Valentine’s Day, closing on a couple houses). I was so excited because I LOVE Uchiko(happy to see Tim as co-founder, so nice and attentive !), Uchi, and obviously been to Uchiba. We had a great time! Everything is so well thought out. (You eat with your hands so the bathroom soap is unscented !)The gentlemen sitting next to us used to work with the staff at Uchiko and said he’s been here multiple times so I knew I was in for a phenomenal meal. Charlie Wang, Nguyen Nguyen, David, beau, Samuel are the culinary experts there and served 22 dishes! There was a lot of blue fin dishes which happens to be my boyfriend’s favorite so we got lucky! Every dish was amazing but My fave ones were the tartare, aguachile, crudo. I was pleasantly surprised by the mizudako octopus , madai sea bream, sawara mackerel. And obviously dessert was fire :) we got a special card at the end ! Hoping to come back"

"Craft Omakase is 100/100!!! This was only my second omakase experience, but wow was it just beautiful! Surpassed my first experience and well worth the price point. From the very first smile greeting you, upon walking in, to the very end when they clear the counter top. Everyone was so nice. The engagement was light but very friendly. Chefs were very engaging and made sure everyone was comfortable. They made sure to explain every course and even explained about their dry aged pieces. Lighting inside was lit enough so you can take pictures of your beautiful courses. Each course was well thought out and perfectly executed. Even their cocktails and mocktails were delicious! I ordered an Arnold Palmer knowing that it was just going to be deliciously different. And boy, was I right! It was delicious! Different, but delicious! Chef Charlie was so gracious. He gave me a generous scoop of caviar. Chef Nguyen was so gracious as well. I joked (kinda) about taking my leftover ginger home and he came out w a jar and sent me home w it! Such an amazing experience! I will be back for sure! Thank you to the whole Craft Team for everything!"

"We had so much fun at this omakase. The experience is crafted to perfection from start to finish, feeling intimate and refined at every stage. We were greeted to welcome drinks and then led to our counter seating where we met the chefs. The sushi was delicious, both high quality fish, well prepared and dressed to complement the flavor of the fish itself. Overall it was a wonderful experience and we'll definitely be back."

"Complete full menu experience worth the steep price. 12 dishes for only 12 guests at a time. The menu is mixed between fish and vegetables moving toward fattier cut until desert. We liked it quite well, especially since we ended up sitting next to a close-minded couple we could talk with. Very much not for young children, it's date night or foodie experience. They sent an email a few days prior asking for allergies and will make some accommotions (but not fish or soy). Parking is easy in the shopping center."

"What an amazing dining experience! Craft Omakase is the epitome of an intimate, authentic and exclusive culinary journey. Let’s start from the space itself. The minimalist, classy front cocktail room sets the stage for what’s to come: a meticulously curated 20-course tasting menu that promises an exceptional experience. The skill, expertise and creativity exhibited by the chefs in preparing and presenting the dishes were nothing short of phenomenal. Beyond the flawless timing and portioning of every serving, the immersive view of the chefs at work create an atmosphere that showcases how much thought, care and dedication is poured into each delectable bite. The precision in slicing the fish for the nigiri and the balance of flavors of the hot and cold dishes absolutely showcased the team’s brilliance, and their passion and creativity absolutely shone through in the unique flavors they were able to create. The quality of the ingredients used here is exquisite. Every bite reflected freshness – each dish felt like a treat for the taste buds and a symphony in your mouth, and you just can’t help but savor every single bite. The flavor profiles made me rethink what I knew about Japanese cuisine and what it means to navigate the delicate balance between honoring tradition and integrating boundary-pushing flavors. The staff, chefs included, were exceptional, too. Oftentimes in high-end restaurants like this, its easy to feel intimidated as a guest, especially if its their first time experiencing something like this, but that was absolutely not the case. Each staff member was attentive, knowledgeable, and personable. Their welcoming demeanor began the moment you walked in and persisted until the final farewell. They displayed an impressive knack for remembering guests’ names and delving into everyone’ palate preferences, particularly regarding cocktails and drinks. Witnessing the synergy between everyone from the hot side, the sushi bar and the front of the house was great to see too – everyone moved together like a well-oiled machine where everyone was always in sync. All in all, Craft Omakase is the apex of a sophisticated dining experience that’s nothing short of extraordinary. Honestly, I’m already planning my next big celebration there – I can’t imagine a better place to mark life’s special moments than at Craft Omakase."
