The 25 Best Restaurants In Austin - Austin - The Infatuation
"With only one seating per night at the 21-course omakase restaurant Tsuke Edomae—and only eight diners at a time—securing a reservation is not easy. Other places in town might feel more celebratory or provide more value for your dollar, but you’re here to try classic edomae-style sushi in its purest form. Each piece is served to one guest at a time, and when your turn comes, it’s just you, the nigiri, and seven curious people attentively waiting their turn. Just be warned—that first bite is like a Matrix red pill/blue pill moment, and it’s difficult to go back to sushi anywhere else, especially because the miso soup and other small-plate interludes are equally good. 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, matthew jacobs, raphael brion
