“ I recently had the pleasure of dining at Tare on a date night, and it was an unforgettable experience. The sushi was without a doubt, the best Ive ever had! Every piece was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Head Chef Michael was absolutely incredible. His skill and passion for sushi was put on display with every dish. The attention to detail and quality of ingredients were topnotch. I cant recommend Tare enough for anyone looking for an exceptional sushi experience. It was a night to remember, and I cant wait to return! ”
“ Such a lovely meal and experience. We added the premium sake tasting and some extra nigiri plus uni. Definitely recommend this omakase. ”
“ Nut Allergy warning When I went, it was mentioned that nuts are used in the salsa macha and chili oil that is derived from the salsa macha. This was easily accommodated for. We arrived a minute late for the 530PM slot and were the last to arrive sorry!. A kind waiter was outside to accompany us to the dining area, a speakeasyesque experience that involved going through a partition in the break room of a corporate office. We were seated at a Ushaped table and the three chefs Michael, Dan, and Morgan cut fish and prepared dishes in front of us. When seated, we were presented with the full menu for the evening along with two drink menus. One gentleman near us struck up conversation and got a mocktail off the menu. The matcha lemonade was excellent and Id definitely recommend asking for anything you might want off the menu! I ordered the A5 Fat Washed Old Fashioned and it might have been the richest, most flavorful old fashioned Ive had in a few years. Ive had duck fat rendered Old Fashioned drinks before, but this is A5 Wagyu Beef Fat Washed. Its quite unique! I tried my friends Milk Punch as well and it was quite sweet would recommend as a dessert drink. I wont go into detail on every dish but Tare gets its fish from Spain, New Zealand, and Japan. It is very much a nontraditional omakase in that there are inspired Texas flavors in each piece. Many have elements of citrus lemon, lime, grapefruit or peppers. The most unique was the Amaebi Japanese Sweet Shrimp, which was served on a blue corn tamale with oaxacan cheese. I think everyone I was with had different favorites, but the folks next to us were ordering the Hotate Hokkaido Scallops a la carte, and that was excellent. Its a very well balanced meal where youll get the most fun out of having light conversation with your neighbors and the chefs as they prepare the experience. Highly recommend, a great unique twist on standard omakase experiences. ”
“ Best meal Ive had in Austin. Every course was exceptional. The atmosphere was relaxed and focused at the same time. From the beginning crudo to the toro, the flavors were balanced, bright, and thoughtful. ”
“ Classic Japanese omakase. Id review an individual dish except you might not see it because the menu changes nightly. They age the fish in house and if youve never had dry aged fish youre missing out. 12 seats two seating per night Dynamite. ”
“ We went there with a big group. It turned out to be a fantastic and fun night. The food was great. The service was awesome. The vibes were the best. Recommend to anyone that loves what a dining experience should be. Round of High Life cheers! ”
“ We came to Tare for dinner and had an amazing omakase experience. The intimate setting, with only 12 seats, sets the stage for a unique 15course Texas fusion menu. Chef Michael and his team truly shine, elevating every bite with distinct flavors and artistry. We left both satisfied and content, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Tare to anyone! ”
“ Amazing food and experience. Cousins and I were in town for Motogp weekend and we booked a few weeks ahead of time since some of the group never had omakase. The food was outstanding and the Chefs were knowledgeable and engaging all of them had a wicked sense of humor too. Bartender knew his stuff and his drink suggestions were on point. I cant recommend this place enough and were already talking about coming back next year. ”
