    This was an exceptional meal. I found myself thinking about the dishes i had for hours after the meal was over. Everything we had was thoughtful and intentional. The ingredients were extremely fresh. I will make a note to come to this restaurant every time I come visit Austin.

    Tastes were all incredible, but I wish there were some more filling options available. I spent $120 and had to get a cheeseburger next door after

    We love Soto! The food is always top notch! We went here to celebrate my son's 19th birthday (his choice for the second year in a row)! We sat at the sushi bar - it's always fun to watch them in action. Every roll and piece of nigiri was absolutely melt in your mouth delicious. Highly recommend!

    Amazing dining experience! The ambiance, food and service were all top notch. Leaving the restaurant, I felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction—not just from the food, but from the entire experience. It was a meal that wasn’t just about eating, but about appreciating the craftsmanship, tradition, and passion behind every bite.
