"If you’re going to blow $300 per person on dinner, Otoko is where to do it. The small sushi restaurant’s futuristic paneling feels like something out of 2001: A Space Odyssey, accompanied by an ambient rock soundtrack and a chef who looks like he just hopped off of Davie Bowie's stage. The omakase experience is a dizzying procession of small plates and nigiri that sometimes veers into the spectacular, with a menu that brings together fish, smoke, umami, and vinegar—playing with Japanese, Texan, and Mexican ingredients—for a truly singular meal.
