Great food - we just got back from Japan and needed a little reminder. The sushi is great - maybe a little on the thin side but great. Miso soup was delish. And loved the rolls

We dine at Soto Lamar Union every other week. The staff are personable and knowledgeable. They treat us like family, which after a long day at work is welcome. The fact that there is a Sommelier who knows the outstanding sake list is a real hit for us. The sushi is fresh and already dressed. You don't need soy or ginger. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Outstanding menu with some of the best Sushi in Austin. Rarely do you get a Sushi restaurant capable of serving Otoro, Chutoro, Akamai and Kamatoro. If you like Tuna, this is the place. The other options were fabulous as well. Great service, Very knowledgable servers and a nice sophisticated atmosphere. Fabulous Sake menu, too. Well worth a try.

Delicious food and great service! Definitely pricey but feels worth the splurge, given the high quality dishes. Soto was kind enough to give us dessert on the house after we went a little crazy and got 8 dishes to try between two people. Fantastic experience!

The staff at Soto did a terrific job helping us celebrate my daughter's graduation. They were great at satisfying our hungry 18 year old, sushi-lover 11 year old, and picky 7 year old and our gluten allergy. They were so helpful, accommodating, and we had a wonderful experience!
