50 Best Japanese Restaurants near Addison

“My kids both asked me to leave a 5 star review. Everything was delicious! They ordered lobster ramen and teriyaki chicken and 0 complaints!“

“food was fresh and good 5 stars great clean atmosphere“

“We enjoy Osaka Sushi Grill. It’s about 1/2 hour drive from us but we still go, we feel is with the drive. The hosts are the best, friendly and cordial. We’ve been going for many many years, since it was named Tokio One.“

“I've only had a few items if the menu so far at the new Coit location, and the food is most excellent! I hope someday they might have sushi chefs to offer SUSHI rolls!“

“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.“

“Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Food and drinks were excellent. Professionally prepared and presented. Highly recommended just wish we lived closer (from Virginia) to come more often :) thanks Kaya M Turner and Shine Tamaoki“

“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!“

“I’ve been here only a few times in the last few years but I came in last week and I was pleasantly surprised!

Stand out fish is the Smoked Ceviche. It is a must if you come here $35 is a little pricy but the amount of fish they gave you is 💯 worth it. Normally it’s just smoked salmon wherever you go but I loved the mixed fish option here.

Nigiri’s sushi are comparable to Haminohana and Hatsayuki but I do think the prices are a little higher. Black cod and Salmon Belly are chef’s kiss!

I didn’t try any sushi rolls, no comment there.

Hand rolls are also equivalent to the restaurants I mentioned above.

Ube ice cream is good. I believe it’s sourced locally.

So, if you’re in this area I would say give it a try. Prices are higher but there’s more seating which is nice.“

“everyone here is so amazing and friendly!!! could not recommend enough!“

“Great food and service. Can’t say I’ve ever had anything bad here“

“First-time guest experience. My son and I enjoyed the ramen soup selection Nishiki along with fried dumplings. Clean and modern dining area, kind and attentive service, and of course great food. Some of the best service we’ve ever received at an Asian restaurant.“

“Takoyaki was very good, lots of Bonita flakes given. Ramen was great, however beware Shin Jiro is QUITE spicy, and portion size is insane, maybe too much food for two! If you can tolerate a ton of spice go for it, but if not maybe sit that one out 😅“

“Zack was great I didn’t know what to order to drink and he made one for me and it was delicious! The severs was helpful and the food was great!“

“best sushi all you can eat in dfw !“

“They use top quality lamb for the dishes, and the price is proper.

Lamb skewers, Lamb Polo rice and beef Naan are the best 👌🏼

The place is very clean and neat, service is great too.

I’ll come back again.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“This is our go-to spot in the area. The quality of fish is incredible and they have the nicest staff of anywhere in DFW—plenty of vegetarian options as well!
Excellent atmosphere and easy to make a reservation on the phone. 10/10 every time. 🍣“

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

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

“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 .“

“Place has a wonderful touch to it.Love that I can order through the ipad instead.the cheese katsu bento box is my favorite I love miso soup and the dumplings that come with it super yummy!

The sauces give the cheese katsu and the white rice a good taste and recommend it!

Curry was not my favorite but then again I personally dislike curry because its super strong but for people that love curry definitely try it has lots of curry options!

I also enjoy there little station where your free to pick up your own sauce/spoon/fork and etc.“

“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.“

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

“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! 🍣🎉“

“Still one of my favorites for years and years now.....One of my favorite sushi places on the area. Great portion sizes, friendly wait staff, and fun atmosphere... It can fill a little cramped at times due to the number of people waiting to get this food as well.“

“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.“

“Great food and generous portions. We will be going again.“

“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“

“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 food came out fast and it was delicious. I was in and out in less than an hour.“

“Excellent service , friendly service & yummy food“

“Highly recommend! We ate a lot and everything we ate was great! Service was fabulous! Restaurant is very clean. We will be back.“

“As someone who has visited many Japanese restaurants over the years, I can honestly say Kichi Bar is one of the best dining experiences I’ve had. Every dish showed the chef’s skill, attention to detail, and clear passion for Japanese cuisine. From the very fresh sashimi and perfectly made sushi to the rich uni pasta and beautifully cooked Wagyu steak, everything was excellent. Each item had its own distinct flavor, and it was obvious that a lot of care went into every detail. This wasn’t just a good meal. It was a memorable dining experience. One of the highlights of the evening was the non-alcoholic cocktails made by the bartender. They were refreshing, beautifully presented, and paired really well with the food. Each drink complemented the dishes and made the meal even more enjoyable. The restaurant itself has a beautiful atmosphere. It feels elegant but not overly formal, and the private dining room made the experience feel even more special. It was the perfect setting for a relaxed yet upscale dinner. The service was just as impressive as the food. Everyone on the staff was friendly, professional, and genuinely welcoming. What stood out most was how knowledgeable they were. They explained each dish clearly and answered every question with confidence. That level of service made the experience feel personal and memorable. Kichi Bar is much more than a sushi restaurant. Everything came together perfectly, from the chef’s cooking and the bartender’s creative drinks to the excellent service and beautiful atmosphere. It was a meal I will remember for a long time.
I don’t give five star reviews often, but Kichi Bar truly deserves it. I look forward to coming back.“

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

“餐點美味，服務親切，價格合理，座位寬敞，明亮整潔！“

“The coolest hibachi, food is the bomb“

“This was my second visit for take out/drive through lunch and I am still shocked at how delicious, fresh and well priced the food is at this unassuming restaurant. They made a tiny mistake with my order and were so generous in making it right that they are now stuck with me as a customer and cheerleader. If you’re traveling on 635 in east Dallas, this is such an easy stop. Do yourself a favor and try it!“

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

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

“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 didn’t know anything about the place, just put Asian in maps. Was there for take out.
Asked for guidance. I don’t like Sushi, but like teriyaki. She recommended the Onion Chicken and it was delicious! It smelled great all the way home and when I finally sat down to eat I thoroughly enjoyed it. Didn’t need to add any soy sauce. I will go back.“

“I went in on a sunday afternoon, it was quiet, so I hesitated, but turns out it was the best decision! Fast and friendly service and great tasting food!! I would definitely be coming back! 😋🍣😃 I got the spicy edemame, gyoza, and dragon roll! Feeling stuffed but very happily satisfied!“

“This lace is absolutely awesome!“

“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!“

“Great food and friendly staff, fast service“
