“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Nishiki Ramen did not disappoint! On our first visit, we started with edamame and pork gyoza. For entrees, we ordered chicken ramen and pork ramen. Both were very tasty. The service was attentive and the food was delivered to our table quickly. We will be back!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Delicious and delectable variety of katsu and udon bento offerings. Katsu proteins are savory and lightly fried to perfection - no greasy taste, just crispy meaty goodness. Udon noodles made plump but not watery. Miso soup was heaven. Staff is friendly and helpful. Lobby is pristinely clean, with airy comfy atmosphere.“

“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! 🍣🎉“

“Absolutely our favorite spot for jjampong, easily. We’ve been three times in the past couple weeks. 🥹 The owner is super sweet and so, so welcoming each time we come in. We’ve been looking for a great jjampong spot since Kyodong closed down and believe me, we’ve been to many. This one is it!
We’ve tried the black bean noodles (a great value at 6.99?!), seafood jjampong (packed with a good amount of seafood!), seafood noodle soup, and the pork belly teriyaki. Everything has been delicious! We’ve been back every time for their jjampong and it’s been consistently amazing.
You can also ask for spicier jjampong and rice instead of noodles!
We’ll definitely 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.“

“Third time with my family and everything is just perfect. We tried black cod entree, beef noodle (not the name in the menu), tempura roll and tempura vegetables. Everything was well balanced in flavor and portions were right. The green tea was another great surprise. They do refill on the green tea.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Delicious food, great service, and super fresh! They have simple GF and vegan sushi options, and a ton of other normal options so everyone can enjoy (we brought GF soy sauce to use). Make sure to tip accordingly for dine-in service, because at first I thought it was self-serve, but turns out they provide a typical service experience for everything besides drinks! Overall wonderful experience and will be going back. This is the new go-to sushi spot for the fam.“

“Went by on a Friday night and surprised to see very few people when we walked in. Walter and staff was very friendly. Nice atmosphere, and the sushi was great! We had a salmon tower and giant sushi burrito. Both were awesome!! I’m not typically a sushi fan but this was delicious and a really great dinner. We’ll be back next time we want sushi! Recommended!“

“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!“

“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.“
