"The East Austin Japanese spot won Eater Austin’s best omakase of 2022 award after its opening and has remained one of the city’s best omakases ever since. Hosted in a space within the indoor mini-golf course Holey Moley, executive chef Saine Wong offers an intimate, 14-course meal to just six diners at each seating. Expect well-crafted nigiri made with supple cuts of fish and other bites like tuna, seared wagyu, and soft shell crab, served in a setting that feels like a fun dinner party. Reservations can be made online, but be sure to have your countdown timer ready: It books up quickly. Know before you go: While the food is seriously good, Toshokan is a place to have fun. Wong can occasionally be persuaded to take out his guitar and serenade guests with Taylor Swift songs." - Erin Russell
