"This Austin omakase restaurant within the North Star neighborhood focuses on meshing Japanese, South Texan, and Mexican flavors and ingredients throughout its kappo-style Japanese menu. Helmed by chef Michael Carranza and pastry chef Danielle Martinez, expect nigiri and small plates such as mesquite-smoked ocean trout with Texas wildflower honey or salsa macha brushed atop bluefin tuna, all in an elegant space hidden within an office building. Book reservations online — it’s gotten popular since earning a Michelin recommendation." - Nadia Chaudhury
