At Craft Omakase, immerse yourself in a unique 22-course sushi experience crafted with passion, impeccable service, and a cozy, celebratory vibe.
"This sleek Rosedale spot should be the poster child for omakases that break from tradition. Fish is the focal point here—with most pieces undergoing some level of curing, dry-aging, or probably yoga to bring out different textures and flavors—and the garnishes are accents instead of the maximalist limelight hoggers you might find somewhere like Sushi Bar. The small plates served between every few bites of nigiri are where things veer a little from the classic omakase format, adding global flavors without turning the meal into some forced fusion that relies on novelty. There are no upsells at the end and no extra bites—you won’t need them anyway. Craft typically releases new reservations every Sunday at 12pm. You can book seats approximately one month in advance. They go fast, but not blink-and-you’ll-miss-it fast. If you want to secure a prime-time spot, plan to be online when reservations go live." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
"This Rosedale restaurant is Austin’s first sushi restaurant to earn a Michelin star. Run by Uchiko alums, the Japanese restaurant serves omakase only and focuses on letting ingredients shine through its nigiri, small dishes, and drinks. Think octopus with a touch of citrus or bluefin tuna topped with a dollop of caviar. Book reservations online for the uber-sleek indoor omakase counter." - Nadia Chaudhury

"In under a year since the Rosedale omakase restaurant opened — by Uchiko alum no less — Craft has quickly become one of the city’s finest Japanese tasting menu destinations. The $175 22-course meal focuses on simply well-craft nigiri and small plates without any of the showiness of other places, and excellent hospitality. Book reservations online; there are indoor dine-in services." - Erin Russell, Nadia Chaudhury
