    If you're looking for a sushi experience that transcends expectations, Soto is where culinary artistry meets unmatched service. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with an atmosphere that is both refined and welcoming — a perfect backdrop for what’s to come. The quality of the fish? Impeccable. Every bite tastes like it was flown in straight from Tokyo’s Tsukiji Market. The Omakase is a must — delicate, inventive, and beautifully presented. From buttery toro to melt-in-your-mouth uni, each dish is a masterclass in balance and flavor. What sets Soto apart, though, is the hospitality. The staff is attentive without being overbearing, deeply knowledgeable about the menu, and genuinely passionate about delivering an unforgettable experience. In a city known for its food scene, Soto quietly reigns supreme when it comes to sushi. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just craving next-level nigiri, this is the spot you'll find yourself dreaming about long after the last bite.

    This was an exceptional meal. I found myself thinking about the dishes i had for hours after the meal was over. Everything we had was thoughtful and intentional. The ingredients were extremely fresh. I will make a note to come to this restaurant every time I come visit Austin.
