Words cannot express the sheer pleasure this chec provided my wife and I during our visit to your restaurant. The Bluefin fatty tuna toro and uni dishes gave our palates the delightful dance they needed, perfectly accompanied by the rice, wasabi, and all other elements.
Our only regret is not being able to dine at your restaurant every week. As food enthusiasts, we truly believe your Michelin star is well-deserved. We eagerly anticipate your next seasonal menu.

Dining at Tatsu Dallas isn’t just a meal, it’s a beautifully orchestrated experience, one that unfolds like a favorite vintage vinyl record, each course a new and unexpected track in perfect harmony. Tucked away in the Design District, this intimate omakase spot feels less like a restaurant and more like stepping into an artist’s studio, where every detail has been thoughtfully considered.
Chef Tatsuya Sekiguchi presides over the evening with a quiet confidence, like a master conductor guiding a symphony. The omakase menu is a showcase of his craftsmanship, each dish more captivating than the last. From the first delicate bite of kinmedai with just the right kiss of soy to the richly marbled wagyu crowned with fresh wasabi, every element feels intentional and deeply personal.
What sets Tatsu apart is the way it balances traditional Japanese techniques with subtle, modern flourishes. The Hokkaido uni served on warm, perfectly seasoned rice is a revelation: silky, briny, and downright luxurious. Then there’s the anago (saltwater eel), which melts like butter and lingers like a great chorus in your favorite song.
The space itself feels warm and sophisticated, with clean lines and glowing wood accents that invite conversation and connection. The chefs work mere feet from your seat, and their rhythm becomes part of the evening’s melody.
Tatsu Dallas isn’t for the rushed or the distracted. It’s for those who savor the slow build, who appreciate the artistry of food as much as its flavor. It’s a place where love for authenticity and depth will feel perfectly at home. Simply put, Tatsu is a love letter to the art of omakase and an unforgettable moment in Dallas’s dining scene.
The flavors, the textures and the service were all 10/10. I’m beyond happy that Dallas finally has an amazing Michelin star restaurant. It’s definitely hard to get a reservation but if you do, it’s worth it! Keep up the amazing work.

There’s a reason this place won a Michelin star, and it’s because the experience is one of the most intimate and tasty experiences of food I’ve ever had the pleasure of trying. From the wonderful service of the staff, every single member trying to make sure you have a fantastic evening, to the very exclusive seating with the head chef Tatsuya, and the wonderfully curated pieces, this place is great and you’ll have a great time if you come here.
Parking: Plenty of parking at the continental gin building, which is where this place is located

Tatsu Dallas is a culinary masterpiece that exceeded my very high expectations. I was privileged to experience firsthand why this restaurant has earned its Michelin star. I was only able to secure an individual dining reservation but easily ingratiated myself to several other guests and was never at a lack for conversation.
The quality of the fish was simply extraordinary. Each piece was a testament to the chef's meticulous sourcing and preparation. The flavors were pure and pristine, and the textures were sublime. While the sea urchin and toro were undoubtedly impressive, it was the scallop that truly stole the show for me. It was as it should be, by that I mean, nearest the ideal as I've ever had.
The service was impeccable; both attentive and unintrusive, and the pacing of the meal was perfect. The chefs' artistry was a captivating spectacle, adding an extra layer of excitement to the dining experience.
The cost was easily justified even with the premium sake paring. The parking was ample and not an issue. The area felt very safe. You will have the opportunity to add extra pieces at the end of your dining experience. Don't be shy - you came this far, be sure to get your encore.
My only regret is that, in my excitement, I forgot to collect my menu as I walked out, I swear I had it in my hand when I stood up. Nonetheless, the memories of this extraordinary meal will last a lifetime. Tatsu Dallas is a must-visit for any food lover seeking a truly unforgettable dining experience.

I went in hoping for near perfect sushi omakase experience - especially since this was the first Michelin one star restaurant in Dallas.
The nigiri were uninspiring compared to some of the sushi restaurants I've experienced in Japan. Some of the fish served were repetitive and not great (simply good).
The service was ok, not great. Tatsu-san could engage a bit more with customers.
The interior was also good, but not great. A bit bland and uninspiring.
Overall, Tatsu is a good restaurant but short of great.

I found my recent experience to be quite disappointing. While I recognize that the restaurant has earned a Michelin star, I had expected the overall experience to be more exceptional. Having dined at numerous Michelin-starred restaurants around the world, I felt that this particular establishment did not meet those standards.
It would have been beneficial to have a staff member introduce each dish rather than relying solely on the menu provided at the table. Furthermore, I believe that the tasting menu, which consisted predominantly of nigiri, lacked a well-composed variety.
Regrettably, this experience leads me to conclude that I will not be returning to this establishment in the future.
Wow! What an incredible place. So happy Dallas has a spot like this now. Easily moves to the top of the culinary options in Dallas. Cannot wait to get back and highly recommend this place to anyone!

Main chef is great, servers are great. However, sous chef? or assistant chef, kinda ruined everything. He is very inconsistent with portion size and cannot slice things evenly. He is very callous with fish. Will not be returning

I was lucky enough to snag a last minute spot after they were given their Michelin Star. This is the FIRST Michelin star restaurant that I actually thought was worth the price of admission and the prestige of the star. I'm constantly disappointed in other places that seem to have rested on their laurels.
The fish quality was fantastic. The service was incredible. Watching the process at an Omakase bar is also always a fun experience for me. The cadence of the meal was perfect. I never felt like it was coming too fast or too slow.
The price seems high, but I've paid WAY more for similar experiences, and honestly for the price you're paying the quality that's packed in is incredible. Sea Urchin is a dish that's hard to get right without paying top dollar, and they knock it out of the park for a medium Omakase price point.
Even the Nori they use is higher quality than I expected. Amazing job.
And just for icing on the cake, the Chef will sign your menu and give it to you in a plastic bag to keep safe.
Parking: This is at a building with tons of free parking.
