Chef Andy Okamoto along with his family, Bar Manager Bryan Masamitsu Parsons, General Manager James Gregory and the rest of the talented Soto team opened their second location on South Lamar in fall 2017. Chef Andy and his family opened the first location of Soto in March of 2013 and it quickly earned a reputation as a dining hot spot. It is definitely the first restaurant that comes to mind when I am planning a celebratory evening, date night or catching up with friends. Chef Andy had expressed his vision of expanding to downtown or south Austin and I couldn\’t be happier for him to see his dream blossom.
The innovative restaurant features some customer favorites along with brand new creations and an exciting omakase option for a $150. If you have dined at Soto in north Austin you know what a special dining experience it is and the shiny new second location does not disappoint. From the warm knowledgeable team, handsome decor, captivating presentation and mouthwatering cuisine, Soto South Lamar is a big contender for best new Austin restaurant of the year.
Soto recently launched a new Friday – Sunday lunch and a Tuesday – Sunday happy hour that is not to be missed.
