"Tsuke Edomae is the hardest reservation to get in Austin right now, but if you manage to snag a seat at this eight-seat omakase sushi restaurant, well, consider yourself warned. That’s because a meal here might ruin sushi for you forever—it’s some of the best we’ve ever had, and very reasonably priced for the quality. If you haven’t been, try getting on the waitlist—it might be a while before you’re able to get a spot, but it’s an experience you won’t be able to stop talking about fondly for weeks to come. Of all the tough reservations to secure in Austin, this is easily the toughest, so don’t be too disheartened if it takes a few rounds to get one. Tickets are released twice a year—this usually happens on a Sunday at 9am (follow along on Instagram for updates). Once released, they go extremely fast. Set your alarm, then get ready to hit that refresh button until tickets go live. If you’re not able to secure a spot, get on the waitlist. Just be ready to drop everything and book a spot the second you get a notification." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion, matthew jacobs
