Craft Omakase

“Omakase,” whose direct translation is “I’ll leave it up to you” in Japanese, and at Craft Omakase, that trust in the chef pays off. In just a short amount of time since its 2023 opening, the restaurant has managed to rack up an impressive number of accolades, including a coveted Michelin star and a spot on Texas Monthly’s Best New Restaurants list. There’s good reason for this: Chefs Charlie Wang and Nguyen Nguyen have a knack for sourcing some of the finest cuts of seafood, from lean fatty tuna to sea urchin, while harmonizing texture and flavor to deliver the perfect bite. Chefs reiterate this sentiment through reminders to eat the nigiri as soon as it hits the plate to ensure peak freshness and flavor. The menu changes seasonally, but previous standout bites include the ginger mint mignonette oyster, medium fatty tuna and cold smoked kanpachi. A spacious omakase counter that seats 12 serves as the perfect intimate backdrop for any special occasion, be it birthdays, wedding anniversaries or date nights.
