50 Best Japanese Restaurants in Dallas

“I had the omakase. and was disappointed with the fact there was a heavily fried dish of shrimp and corn that came out mid point of the experience. The sashimi was pretty good but, not too much thought was put into it. Other than the two kind of misteps my overall experience was amazing! the staff was helpful and the flavors were fun! I highly recommend the sesame mousse for dessert and the sea bass melted in your mouth and the soba noodles with the various dipping sauces were to die for ♡“

“Food is outstanding so yummy and fresh as sushi can be.“

“Top notch all the way!! From valet to desert. 5⭐️s!!!💗“

“Every dish was cooked to perfection.

It’s on the pricier side, even more expensive than most sushi omakases in Dallas, but the experience was beyond our expectations. I’m currently pregnant, and they were able to switch out the raw dishes for me to cooked alternatives with prior notice when I made the reservation. Chef Otaka steamed the uni in the dishes that he used uni, and he cooked my yakitori skewers a little longer. We really appreciate the attention to detail.

The Korean couple next to us told Chef Otaka they went to Japan recently and got a reservation at a highly sought after yakitori restaurant there, but they thought Mābo’s yakitori was better. Every bite they took, they would say how delicious it was in Korean.

What’s unfortunate, though, is that the 8:30 PM seating was only half full, which was surprising given that the restaurant accommodates just eight guests. Maybe Dallas isn’t ready for yakitori omakase yet, but we felt like we were in Japan. We loved it!“

“What an awesome experience. Amazing food. Will eat here again.“

“One of the best and high quality sushi I have ever had. Jorge our server also gave the best service I have ever experienced at a restaurant. The general manager is super friendly and attending. The atmosphere is very upscale. Highly recommend this place“

“Love this place. Great service, amazing, perfect sushi. Only problem? They don’t take reservations. We went only to be turned away. No sushi for us!“

“it's a New York type of Vibe. Small but Quaint!“

“We ordered here through DoorDash and the delivery was fast! The food was delicious! Being from Abilene, we don’t have any outstanding Sushi places, and this place Hibiki Sushi was delicious!!! We got a mixture of 5 specialty rolls. The Burning your stomach and the Threesome Special were two of my favorites. We also got the Franky & Boom Boom Nipple Roll both delicious. Literally every one of the rolls were heavenly! I didn’t realize how big the rolls were though! The Japanese egg roll wonderful as well!!“

“Great local sushi, maki, and INARI spot in Dallas! I had never tried inari before (imagine a sushi roll in a cooked tofu wrap). It was really good! Lots of fun to try creative new dishes, and they were great to share! We really enjoyed our meal and look forward to coming back again!

It’s all bar/ high table seating indoors. Outdoors they have a nice patio with good shade. The tables on the patio are typical height tables and there are also a few lounge chairs to sit in.

Great spot!“

“So yummy, chill, great prices and you HAVE to get the crab rangoons!!!!“

“Absolutely one of the best experiences in my life. This place is about the experience. And the best part, the sushi was magnificent! Fresh, innovative, genius!

The master chef was a delight. Very courteous, respectful. Patiently planning each dish for us to try. Beautifully plated and executed to the fullest. Can't wait to return!“

“This place is a standout! The wagyu roll was rich and packed with flavor — an absolute must-try. The avocado roll was perfect, with creamy avocado and lobster mix created just the right texture. Every dish was fresh and beautifully plated. Service was friendly and attentive, and the vibe was relaxed yet refined. Can't wait to come back!“

“Looking for Japanese curry brought me to this spot. It was so delicious! I got chicken katsu curry. Not only was the presentation lovely, but the chicken was crispy, and the curry was rich and flavorful. I also tried the mentai mayo onigiri and karaage. I definitely will be back again!“

“We love Sushiya! It’s an intimate restaurant with hands-on service and excellent food! We drive 45 mjn to eat here. We highly recommend then!“

“This place is really good! The vibes are solid, the food is great, service is fine and everyone is nice but nothing outstanding (although maybe I’m being critical, they did give me a free sample of a new dish without me asking)! I am a huge fan of the fresh fish + mango combo and the Mango roll did not disappoint! Haven’t found any rolls in the area yet besides Maji that nail the sweet/umami taste like theirs. Fish is fresh which is always important. I don’t remember what other rolls I tried but none of them were bad. Prices are ok, I think fair given the quality of the sushi. I came once with a friend last month and have already been back twice for takeout!“

“My new favorite omakase / sushi place! It is second visit and I brough my friends to catch up and enjoy something new... Every course was full of flavor and picture perfect presentation. Thank you to all the staff who made our dinner so enjoyable. If you can get a seat at the sushi bar, it is even more fun, as you get to see the process and get inspired... :)“

“First time here. Ordered takeout due to pandemic. Came on a Friday evening around 7:30pm. Ordered 4 rolls: rainbow roll, dragon roll, Greenville roll, & spicy tuna kiss roll. Presentation is nice. Fish quality is smooth, creamy, and does not have a frozen multiple times texture. Flavor is nice. Roll pieces are actually bite sized and -just- fit in your mouth. (I have a small mouth, so they may fit better in an average person’s mouth). Kind of disappointed with the minuscule amount of wasabi & ginger that came with each dish, but wasabi taste fresh & has adequate spice. Pickled ginger is quite sweet. Overall, everything was good. I’d recommend & I’d come back.“

“Amazing dinner and service! Sakmoto and his team deliver the freshest most delicious food & Ryoko & her staff exceed any expectation you may have!“

“This lace is absolutely awesome!“

“We are not from the area (Brock, TX) & went before attending the Addison Improv. So glad we did! Excellent service & amazing/fresh sushi. We definitely plan to find a reason to make the drive to dine there again!!“

“I stopped by after my appointment, the service is fast and friendly. The food is reasonably priced and delicious. I’ll be back.“

“Service and food were good. It was a little bit pricier than I expected. I might come back again and try something else on the menu! I loved that the spice level was true spicy! I didn't have to request extra spice.

Parking: Big lot, neighboring businesses close early.“

“I ordered the dragon roll with edemas and miso soup and my husband ordered the Las Vegas Roll and they took out the crab. (which is good bc my husband is allergic) the place is small but very cozy! The staff are very nice and polite. 10/10 recommended :3“

“Delicious “fireside cooking” or Robatayaki in which items of food on skewers are slow-grilled over hot charcoal. Liver, hart, tongue etc. the fresh items, Sashimi and Sushi are excellent as well. Wonderful services from owner and her staff. Sushi chef’s are excellent prepared sushi at the bar. Love cozy atmosphere as well.“

“Shinsei ROCKS! Service, ambiance, delicious. Thank you for making it my top 5 favorite spots in Dallas, Texas“

“Enjoyed the experience and the food!!!“

“🍥muy agradable el ambiente“

“Of course I had to try the Tuna Tower. When you order out the tower comes deconstructed. I don’t like the tuna scoop. Its color bothered me.
My husband ordered three warm dishes and two cold. We had a good meal exploring new dishes.“

“I really wanted to like this place. We got an appetizer, drinks, and 3 rolls. The Crab Dynamite and the mt axiom rolls were really good but we also got the crunchy salmon and it was burnt. We asked to have it taken off the bill and was told no but we could have a to go box and 20% off the one role. Definitely won't be returning.“

“The food and service were wonderful!!“

“This lovely neighborhood spot is my favorite for a deliciously fresh sushi fix. The service is attentive and gracious, the sushi chefs are talented and generous. It is a university park jewel.

Vegetarian options: The vegetarian options are fresh and beautifully presented.“

“Great Ramen spot with Japanese accoutrement throughout. I would definitely recommend!“

“I got the pleasure of eating the salmon bento box and shrimp tempura roll. This was my first visit to this establishment and I am one happy camper! 10/10 (oops, broke the Google review rating scale ?) rating for the atmosphere, food, and staff! Thank you!~“

“Absolutely loved this spot. The setting is super casual but also very chic at the same time. The entrance reminds me of a classic New York style restaurant and the level of food and service do all the talking.

The sashimi and fresh sushi are top quality with little elements of elevated taste. The seared salmon and the red snapper are my absolute favorites and I would highly recommend the Philly style wagyu roll. Subtle but obvious when you taste it.

The Japanese whiskey old fashioned. Was a highlight for me. The infusion of the smoke comes with an amazing creative element that I recommend ordering directly at the bar to watch the creation of those classic cocktail.

Next time I visit I will be sitting at the sushi bar to take in the coordination of the chefs and watch this beautiful artistry of my favorite cuisine on earth.“

“This place is honestly a hidden gem. They have very tasty bowls and you simply can’t beat the price!

Excellent guest experience and I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a healthy and affordable lunch/dinner option.“

“I can’t speak highly enough of Naminohana. The staff are wonderful and incredibly attentive, since only 14 people can eat at any given time. The food has been perfectly consistent and fresh throughout the many times I’ve been. The cozy atmosphere and top-notch food cements this restaurant as a true gem in Dallas.“

“The food is decent, especially the shrimp bento box. At least I don't get a headache from eating here (I'm talking to YOU, Panda Express). Nevertheless it's not authentic japanese food, just like Panda Express is not authentic chinese. Any individual with even a basic knowledge of the Japanese language knows that "sarku" is not a real japanese name. Saruku (サルク) or Sāku (サーク) would be more convincing.I still like it though, and I've been coming here for 2 and a half years (since 2019).“

“I can't say enough about how amazing this food tasted. hands down the best dining experience I've ever had. the presentation was amazing as well.“

“Good staff and good food they cook the food in your face“

“To Daniel M You were a great server and have good recommendations and I didn't realize I didn't tip you appropriately. You still had a great demeanor about it and thanked me anyway and if I wasn't so far I would go back and hook you up. I'm sorry.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Feng Shui is an absolute gem!

Our entire agency came here for a work friend’s birthday lunch, and everything from start to finish was flawless. The service was truly impeccable—warm, attentive, and professional. The chef and her husband even came out to greet our table, which was such a kind and personal touch.

Every dish we ordered was bursting with flavor—I seriously couldn’t stop eating. And the mochi birthday cake? Phenomenal! Light, chewy, and the perfect end to an incredible meal.

If you’re looking for amazing Asian Fusion food with heartwarming hospitality, Feng Shui is it. I’ll definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.“

“Excellent food, great taste.“

“Food was outstanding!! The waitresses were nice! The variety was amazing! Highly recommend!“

“Started off our meal with “spicy” edamame which wasn’t actually spicy but the flavor was incredible. We had three different sushi rolls and they were all fresh and delicious…highly recommend!“

“It was an amazing experience! I will be judging every sushi I eat from now on using this as a template. Germy(not sure if I’m spelling correctly) took great care of my wife and I. I hope we are able to return to Dallas so that we can enjoy it again.“

“Top notch all the way!! From valet to desert. 5⭐️s!!!💗“

“I would highly recommend coming here they have really good food the atmosphere is very comfortable even with the new renovations it's a great place to enjoy with family and friends“

“The cutest little hole in the wall.

The aesthetics in this place are so slick and cozy.

The food was amazing and the staff was so kind! I called and they missed my call but instantly called back to help me. Def a must try in Dallas!“

“Craving sushi .. all the time and finally got around to it pretty small but good rolls. Also got some noodles super good 8.5/10 and then the show stopper the MANGO CHEESECAKE I’m not joking a 10/10 might come back just for that everything was nice and clean too. Great staff.“
