Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Soto - South Lamar offers a standout sushi dining experience in Austin, praised for its "insanely good" nigiri and sashimi. Guests rave about the "fantastic" service and unique dishes like the uni pasta. The ambiance is lively, though some note the price-to-portion ratio isn't ideal. Overall, Soto is a beloved choice for fresh, flavorful sushi.

    Sushi presentation and taste was amazing. The cocktails we tried were perfectly crafted. The best part of the evening was the exceptional service from Jennifer, our waitress. She was extremely knowledgeable on every aspect of the food and drink menu, both of which are massive. Jennifer was also very attentive without being intrusive. A very rare skill. Her recommendations were spot on which made our evening even better. Jennifer genuinely made us feel like special guests. Even though the prices were a bit high, the food service quality will bring us back again and again!!

    Everything about my experience at Soto was excellent. Our waiter was very attentive. The food was delicious and served quickly. The drinks were perfect. I never felt rushed on my date, and I had a wonderful time. I will be back.

    We’ve been coming to Soto for a couple years now and it’s easily the best sushi we’ve had anywhere, ever. The service and staff are all insanely knowledgable and friendly and the food is out of this world. It’s always consistent and SO. FREAKING. GOOD. We’ve tried a lot of the upscale sushi places in austin and nothing else compares. 100/10 would recommend :)

    Ate here with another out-of-town co-worker back in July while visiting Austin. When asked if he wanted to do sushi we both said Soto. Second time did not disappoint. Went with an additional out-of-town co-worker and she said it was amazing as well. Food was excellent, as usual. I would go back just for the soft shell crab. Vanessa was phenomenal. Very attentive but not pushy. Will definitely go back when visiting Austin again.

    I prefer the Cedar Park location, but the sushi here is one of the best in Austin. I like it much better than the others in town

    Soto was our first date, and it was even better at one year. The most amazing pork ribs, delicious sashimi and rolls. Still, the food was even more amazing because the service and staff were awesome.
