Definitely the best meal I've ever had. Worth the wait and totally worth the price given how much food you get (20 course meal) and the high quality ingrediants straight from Japan. If you are lucky enough to book a reservation, don't be a fool and sell it on the aftermarket. Save that for yourself! You won't regret it.

We had Chef Nick and he was terrific! He explained what was in each course and made jokes along the way. He also put up with my 100 questions during the meal haha. The waitstaff was amazing and very tentative! They were friendly and professional, quick to clear away empty dishes and glasses, shared additional information about the courses, sake, and wine, and never let my water glass get empty. Also, the food was exquisite, of course! This was likely the best meal we ever had! It rivals the Omakase we had in New York. We will definitely be back!

This is omakase place with arranged style from pure edomae (for example, caviar is put on toro sushi, truffle put on uni which i declined toppings). Shari was OK to good. Red vinegar and amount of rice and textures are good. Among Nigiri, madai and saba were excellent. Other nigiris are average. Tuna is from Spain which is farm raised, which tasted farm-particular oiliness. I do much prefer wild caught tuna either from Japan (Ohma) or Boston. Chswanmushi was good, but seabass grilled fish was not matches with the rest of sushi and just OK. Edomae sushi is not presentation, but edomae taste is in its spirit . Shari here was missing in this spirit. The service here was excellent. And very super friendly, funny sushi chefs. So Enjoyable experiences. Overall it was a good dinner, but I had higher expectations of edomae level, so in that respect it was disappointment. But I will come back here again next time I visit Dallas (this place is much better than other omakase places in Dallas like Yujo). My suggestion is to have more hikarimono and awabi/akagai, wild caught tuna from Japan, simple appetizer,

Believe the hype. This is a world class level. A true modern twist to the game while preserving the essence of sushi. I enjoy new concepts personally. OG can be great but a lot more personality and flare can be found at Shoyo.
Great environment. Omakases can drag out and be boring sometimes, but Shoyo understands how to keep it fun and lively. I compare it to like going to a magic show with amazing food. Twists and turns along the way to keep us entertained and energized.
Loved Jimmy. Great charisma and a real expert on sushi. We wanted to go again right away

Finally got a lunch seating at the famous Shoyo! From start to finish, everything was perfectly curated and one of the best omakase experiences in Dallas! Chef Jimmy was so fun, and educated us of every serving. 10/10 would recommend!

A phenomenal culinary experience with incredible service. This was our second visit to SHOYO and each time it’s a new experience. We love the small intimate atmosphere and how each course is prepared with such great attention. Our chef, Jun, was thoughtful and friendly. Our server even made note that me and my husband were not drinking and gave us a non alcoholic shot to take at the end of the night- we really thought that was such a nice touch. We are so glad we elected to visit SHOYO, once again.

Absolutely LEGENDARY experience…
The host, Pedro, welcomed us with complimentary wine and well wishes for the wife’s birthday… the entire staff (Baldo and Kayla) was amazing from start to finish and the main man, Chef Nick, was smooth as silk… shouts to the other chef (Raymond) in the 3rd spot… flawless experience!
Sometimes you go out to eat when you are hungry. Other times you go out to have an experience. This incredible place will satisfy both. The dollar in your walllet is immaterial compared to witnessing these masters in their craft. It is a full immersion into Japanese culture right here in Texas. Thank you for the unforgettable night! We will be back (if we can get another reservation)

I’m pretty disappointed after all the hype around Shoyo. For the price, I expected to be blown away. The 18-course omakase was decent at best. I’ve had the privilege of dining at some of the greatest restaurants around the world, and this is nothing noteworthy in the slightest. Namo, Tei-An, and Uchi make this place look like a day off and for a fraction of the price. The dining room was also below freezing. I was uncomfortable the whole dinner. The only positive thing about this experience was the staff were incredibly friendly and had wonderful humor while walking us through the dining experience.

I have been eating sushi all my life, and I've had great sushi from many places, from Florida to Mexico. Shoyo blew everything I've had until this point out of the water.
What an experience. I cannot begin to describe how fantastic everything was. It's the kind of food that makes you feel emotional from experiencing it. And the chefs are just as great. Very fun and personal atmosphere and experience, this is not a "snobby" kind of fine dining. The menu rotates regularly, and everything is hand crafted right in front of you, and explained by their amazing chefs.
Cannot recommend Shoyo enough.

Food was good. But not worth the price and feel overrated. There are better places with reasonable price once you are out of this neighborhood.

Great dining experience! Food was excellent. The atmosphere was unique and fun. Service was spot on yet not intrusive. Jimmy Park welcomed us at the door, was our sushi chef, and ensured that we had a memorable dining experience.
