I’ve been a diehard fan since Kyoten’s early trailer days. I’m from Houston and not having convenient access to Otto’s craft required such patience until the next time I’d get to go to Austin—so you can imagine how much I had to suppress my cravings when I found out he shut his trailer down to start
This is not the best sushi I've eaten, but in general we had a nice experience here. The sushi was fresh, and $150 total for an omakase is an reasonable price for what the chef made. There are only 8 seat total, the chef is nice and so friendly, he talked to us and answered all of our questions as w
If my rating was based only on the food, Kyoten is clearly 5-star. However, as a veteran of many omakase restaurants, the overall dining experience left something to be desired.
The restaurant itself is decidedly bland and unstylish, with garish lighting. Perhaps this is purposeful to highlight the
Incredible fresh fish, perhaps the best sushi in Austin. While expensive the Omakase dinner was exceptional, on par with Uchi. Intimate space with chef Otto makes up for the sparse setting.

We came for the dinner omakase. The small sushi counter seats only 8 so you get an intimate dining experience with Otto. Might as well make some friends with your dinner companions as well. This is the purest sushi experience I've found in Austin (and overall rare in the US). There are no rolls. Was
The fish was exceptional by Austin standards. The dishes were prepared with thoughtfulness and not compacted with complicated flavors. Several pieces of the sushi had familiar flavors that brought back a couple of happy memories. I always enjoy my dining experience more when I can associate a fond m
A wonder place! My husband and I love sushi, and by far this is the best we have had. I shy away from certain fish, but tried them all again here, and realize now that what I had before wasn't quality fish. It was a lovely experience, and one we plan on enjoying again.
Is it hyperbole to call this sacred dining? I think not. It is clear that the charming chef Otto has studied his craft as a monk might study a holy text. Rice his prayer, fish his sacrament, and sake his blessed water. The dinner is pricey but once in a lifetime kind of dinner. Melt in your mouth su
