Visiting Austin and heard about this place at the end of 2025, knew we were coming and made a reservation for my boyfriend’s birthday, as he has always wanted to do an omakase. This place did not disappoint. Every dish was visually stunning. I am semi adventurous and wasn’t sure if I would enjoy or eat everything that I was given. I will say I did not enjoy everything just due to my own preference but I did enjoy the majority and was shocked at what was one of my favorites. The ocean trout dishes and the dry age fish were immaculate. The chefs and staff were all so knowledgeable and very attentive. I really enjoyed this experience and would highly recommend doing an omakase here whether it be to celebrate a special occasion or just to be adventurous and enjoy some incredible food.

The entire experience from start to finish was amazing. It was truly the most magical food I’ve had in Austin (and I’ve lived here my entire life). The dishes were so fresh, delicious, and creative. The entire staff was warm and welcoming. I especially enjoyed how the dining experience was laid back and the chefs were chatting and joking with us while still providing an elevated experience. Definitely one of a kind , and I hope we can return next year!

Fantastic sushi experience for those that are willing to adventure. The owner and his secondary are crafting amazing pieces for you while having great small talk with the guests.
Non-Nigiri plates are brought out from the kitchen looking spectacular.
This is an intimate experience for a limited group size.

We had an amazing experience celebrating my husband’s birthday at Craft Omakase! From start to finish, everything was top notch. Charlie, Johnny, and the entire team showcased incredible skill and attention to detail throughout the omakase. Every dish was a work of art.
Juliana also deserves a special mention! She nailed the drink recommendations for both of us and went above and beyond by creating personalized menus for each couple to take home, which was a really thoughtful and memorable touch. Highly recommend!

Craft Omakase is absolutely INCREDIBLE.
Hands down, my all time favorite dining experience.
We recently celebrated our 10 yr wedding anniversary here and immediately decided it should be our new annual tradition.
The food quality & attentive service here are far above any nearby competitors (believe me, we tried multiple within the same week to compare them all!).
Highly recommend booking here ASAP before spots run out, you will not regret it!!

craft was one of the best omakase experiences i’ve ever had! all the staff were so welcoming and you can tell they all truly love what they do. it was so much fun talking to the head chef Charlie while he was working his magic right in front of us. the team is also super accommodating to most diets (we asked for a halal, no-gelatin & no alcohol diet and it was super easy for them to tailor the menu for us). I will 100% be back, and I really look forward to it!

We couldn’t rave about Craft Omakase and our experience enough. Everything was perfect, from the pre-dinner cocktail, to our experience with Chef Charlie, to every single bite of food. It is worthy of all of the praise it receives and served as the perfect place for a celebration!

I came here just to have a meal, so I was the only one dining alone, everyone else seemed to be on a date or in a business meeting. I’m a pretty introverted person, so I didn’t quite adjust to the counter seating atmosphere. I’ve spent most of this year studying on my own at UT and interacting mainly with a small group of researchers and professors, so my social stamina has been a bit lower than usual.
That said, everything was great. The sushi was excellent, my favorite was the uni roll and the final piece of otoro. It just wasn’t the kind of setting I’m most comfortable with, and I had a bit of social anxiety in the moment.
