“Hashi Japanese Kitchen is the best Japanese restaurant we have found in the north Texas area. Their home made sauces are very good, much better than any packaged sauces. The owner is very nice and helpful, I wish the best for their success.“

“We just found this place when we noticed it on the sign when we drove by and we’re so glad we did! This place is tucked back away from parking lot, so IYKYK. It was delicious! We normally don’t like handrolls and really loved the Bluefin Tuna one especially! We sat at the bar and made friends with our sushi chef (maybe he wouldn’t go as far as to say that 😆). He was very friendly! We will definitely be back!“

“This place is so quaint and aesthetically pleasing! Was greeted by the owner and she recommended some great items. We got the chai and matcha latte with the omurice and loaded fries which were all so delicious! Would come back again to try other things!“

“Moriya’s homemade curry is soooooo good. It absolutely hits the spot for me every time… rich, comforting, and packed with deep umami flavor. And their frothy tonkotsu broth is so unique too… creamy, flavorful, and just delicious. Beware that seating is limited and service can be slow at peak hours.“

“Came here for ramen and started with pork buns based on reviews. They did not disappoint! The pork was tender and incredibly flavorful -!; the pickled. I umbers added a nice snap! The ramen was delicious, as well. We will be back!“

“Fresh, delicious and fast service. Definitely will come back for more.“

“The variety of food on the all-you-can-eat menu is great, and our waiter Nathan was incredible. He was on top of everything, and when my daughter said she loved the robot (the machine that brings food to your table) he brought it back out just for her. Definitely a new go-to for us.“

“It was a cold night so perfect time for some Ramen. I was really surprised how fresh and tasty everything was. We ordered the black garlic smoke bomb, regular tonkatsu, and karage chicken. Everything was delicious. I will tell all my friends and families.“

“We had an amazing experience at Yujo. Tony went out of his way to make my birthday special from complimentary appetizers to desserts. The fish was so fresh and sushi rice was on point and better than any Japanese restaurant I’ve frequented in Dallas. They spent 4 hours just making their sushi rice. Highly recommend and will definitely be back!“

“Really tasty sushi! Everything is super fresh and neatly made, the rolls don’t fall apart. The fish tastes high-quality with no weird smell. Soy sauce is not watered down and ginger is fresh. Delivery was fast and still warm. This is already my second order — and again everything is perfect! Thank you so much, this is now my favorite sushi place 🍣💛“

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

“Absolutely loved my visit to Hanakin! The sushi was super fresh and everything tasted amazing. The vibe was really cool—perfect spot to hang out or grab a nice dinner. Service was quick and the staff made us feel right at home. I’ll definitely be coming back soon! Highly recommend checking this place out if you’re in the area.“

“The best sushi in the world and I mean it. It’s a must try. Hands down the most amazing sushi you will ever have .“

“This place is small, quiet, and fantastic. I had the chicken katsu bento with curry on the side and it was magical. My girlfriend had the chashu udon and she loved it as well. I highly recommend capping off your visit with sesame balls or korokke, both excellent treats.

I also have to mention that you can order everything through a self-serve kiosk. You just place your order and take a pager, no need to interact with anyone.

All in all, I love this place and I'm definitely gonna be a regular here.“

“I love sushi, and the food at this restaurant is very good. The ingredients are also very fresh. The most important thing to eat Japanese food is the freshness of the ingredients. Especially raw food. The sushi at this restaurant is quite delicious. The combination of soy sauce and rice, in addition to fresh ingredients. It is simply delicious. Highly recommended to everyone.“

“We visited this all-you-can-eat sushi buffet for my son’s birthday, and it was the perfect choice. The sushi and sashimi were fresh and delicious, with a great variety of rolls, nigiri, and hot dishes—everything was well-seasoned and beautifully prepared. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive; plates were cleared quickly, refills came right away. The restaurant was clean, spacious, and comfortable, so we could relax and enjoy the celebration. Excellent value for the quality and service—we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended for family outings and special occasions! 🍣🎉“

“After a long convention and a bunch of tummy rumbling, I was hungry and scared of trying a new ramen in a now town. Lynzeee and Ricardo welcomed us with a smile and I knew I was in good hands. From the food to the drinks, they had us covered. I appreciate you guys and your amazing service!“

“My husband and I did the omakase on Tuesday for $60 on special. It was so delicious and very reasonable. We will be back.“

“This is such an underrated place! Came here for a quick sushi fix and was blown away by the quality of their food. We ordered salmon avocado, shrimp tempura roll, snow mountain roll, and sex on the beach roll. The fish to rice ratio is on point, and everything tasted really fresh. The staff were all so warm and welcoming!! Will definitely come back again“

“I’ve lived in Texas for over eleven years and watched the dining scene change considerably. Through all of that, I keep coming back to Chef Otaka-san. There’s a reason.

These days, many new restaurants seem more focused on rankings, expansion, and hype than on staying true to their principles. I respect Chef Otaka-san for doing the opposite, staying focused on what omakase is supposed to be and what he genuinely cares about. Japanese people aren’t eating sushi three times a day; they enjoy yakitori just as much. That, too, is their culture, and Chef Otaka-san’s inspiration comes from that authenticity, not from California rolls designed to please the masses. For diners who care about the essence of a true omakase experience, mabo is a place you should not skip.

This is not a restaurant chasing influencer hype or free publicity. It’s for guests who genuinely value the experience who are willing to pay for his talent and creativity so he can transport you, for a couple of hours, to another part of the world without leaving Dallas.

Back in my earlier days here, there were more places that felt this sincere and grounded. As things grow more superficial, I almost feel sad that restaurants like this are becoming rarer. That’s part of why I felt compelled to write this review: sometimes the quiet achievers deserve to have their value recognized.

I’ll admit I hesitate to share my hidden gem. I don’t enjoy competing for reservations, and a selfish part of me wants to keep this spot easy to book, especially compared to some overvalued places out there. But when I think about how long Chef Otaka-san has been in Texas, nearly four decades, he deserves far more recognition than he’s received. He has been an ambassador of sorts, giving those of us in Dallas the opportunity to experience this level of omakase for years.

Today was my fiancé’s birthday, and I brought him here because I wanted him to experience what I think of as the “Teppo feeling” I had when I first moved to Texas. For me, it was more than just dinner; it was reconnecting with a memory and a standard of sincerity that has become rare.

I hope more people come to understand the depth of what Chef Otaka-san has given to this community and that he, in turn, recognizes his own value rather than feeling discouraged by the rankings and metrics that third-party reviewers throw around. He may not be the most talkative showman (which I appreciate, sometimes I don’t want conversation), but if you ask him a question and approach him as a genuine human being, I think you’ll understand what I mean. I hope this helps someone else experience what my fiancé and I had today.“

“Our first visit and it was very tasty. The staff is great. Nothing bad to say about this place. Check it out!“

“The variety of food on the all-you-can-eat menu is great, and our waiter Nathan was incredible. He was on top of everything, and when my daughter said she loved the robot (the machine that brings food to your table) he brought it back out just for her. Definitely a new go-to for us.“

“The person who served us was extremely kind and personable. He made sure we ate raw fish once we ordered the Carrollton roll.

The roll itself was a classic strip mall roll. The fish wasn't smelly. All aspects paired well together.

Since the fish wasn't good, I'd like to go back and try their poke.“

“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!!“

“The coolest hibachi, food is the bomb“

“Delicious and the Atmosphere made me feel like I stepped into a small hole in the wall in Japan and it was great!“

“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.“

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

“Highly WONDERFUL SERVICE AND Gratitude ORIENTATED LOCAL, service is always on point and always sustains a broad perspective in highlighted spirits and creative outlook! Wonderful insight towards work ethic and exemplar service of sustainability!“

“This lace is absolutely awesome!“

“I liked the food and they served generous portions It is a nice, casual spot with a great atmosphere, making it a perfect neighborhood gem for anyone looking to try quality Japanese cuisine.
We tried the Angry John roll, Tiger roll, California roll along with Miso soup, tempura shrimp and Edamame. At the end they gave us peeled oranges which was nice.“

“Friends from Texas recommended this ramen while we were visiting from New York. Hands down the best I've had. The seafood ramen was amazing; super fresh and the portions are perfect. The gyoza was fabulous as well! Looking forward to visiting again and trying out some of your other dishes!“

“Chicken fried rice & California, salmon & spicy tuna rolls were so fresh and tasty Perfect way to start a new week 😋“

“Great food and friendly staff, fast service“

“餐點美味，服務親切，價格合理，座位寬敞，明亮整潔！“

“We arrived 30 minutes before closing and were informed that the kitchen would be closing in 10 minutes. Service was prompt, and our food arrived quickly.

The salmon tower and tuna tower were both delicious and beautifully presented. I appreciated that imitation crab is used, making it a safe option for those with shellfish allergies like myself.

The tempura vegetables were not our favorite. Softer vegetables such as squash and potatoes were used, which resulted in a mushy texture rather than the light crispness we expected.

There was only one other diner at the time, making for a very quiet dining experience.“

“Spectacular sushi at a spectacular value! I've driven by this place I don't know how many times always intending to try, but now I did and I'm super glad that this is now in my regular rotation of places. The account of fish you get is huge and the taste is stellar. Can't say enough good things about this place.“

“The food is delicious and the customer service is wonderful. So many different options to choose from.

Parking: Plenty of open parking. The lot is also clean.

Kid-friendliness: Everyone is kind and welcoming. There are kid friendly food options as well as kid friendly shops.“

“My husband and I have been eating here since they opened. The teriyaki chicken is my favorite. I see some reviews complaining the chicken doesn't come slathered in sauce but in my opinion that's a bonus. Anyways, the owners are so lovely and really care about the food they make. If you're unhappy with your order, tell them, don't just complain on google and yelp. Love them and hope they stay in business forever. Thanks for the tasty food Teriyaki Sensei!“

“We try to come here a couple times every month, the owners are so friendly and the sushi is always fresh. They always have gentle and upbeat music playing, and the sushi bar is very cool and creates a nice ambiance. We always grab 4-5 rolls, a spicy edamame, and a couple orders of sake. Have been probably 20 times now, and the experience is always a 10/10.“

“We came when it was pretty busy and all the employees were working really hard. Nice little establishment order and pay right at the front (which i like) and sit anywhere. Food was a little slow to come out (maybe because they have a drive thru) but it was worth the wait! Will come here again!“
