“I was stationed in Japan from '04-'06 (Air Force) & I've gone to a lot of different Japanese restaurants here Stateside in an attempt to capture some of the culinary magic I had experienced in the restaurants over there. Mikoto in Southlake is the ONLY Japanese restaurant I've visited here in the U.S. which consistently gives me legit feelings of nostalgia for the restaurants I had the pleasure of experiencing 20 years ago.“
“Awesome experience! I love the menu. It's a mix of sushi, ramen and Japanese fried rice bowls. Perfect for those nights the wife wants sushi and I want something different. The apple roll is unique and great. We also had the cherry blossom for an appetizer. The ramen was great! The broth has lots of flavor and perfect amount of oily texture. The house hot sake is also great Build out inside is nice but you can still dress casual. The staff is very nice and attentive!“
“I first had the pleasure of trying this lovely restaurant via a pick up order, while it didn’t disappoint after the long ride home I knew I had to try this place again but as a sit it. Let me just say for the second time it did not disappoint food came out fast and hot, the sushi was prepared with such care and precision. While words can not do this place enough justice I will end with this just come in have a seat and fall in love the owner makes you feel like nothing but family. He wants you to feel overly happy and full, lost are the days of owners really caring about their customers but he truly does“
“I live in Seguin, but everytime I find myself in Dallas I go to Mr.Max. It is my favorite Japanese spot by far. I have lived in Seattle and Los Angeles and Mr. Max is the best to me outside of Japan! I haven't been to Dallas in a couple of years and I am missing it! Thank you for always providing delicious food! ♡“
“We were wanting to try a ramen place that we had never eaten at before. Hoshi Ramen is in a shopping strip off Keller Main St and parking was a lille packed. We were served with water quickly and gave our order, and the food came out super fast. My wife ordered the seafood pancake and Texan tonkotsu ramen. I ordered chicken karrage and a large spicy bulgolggi tonkotsu ramen. The pancake and karrage were delicious, in fact the karrage might be the best I've had in a while. The ramen was really good, I would not put in my top 5, but it still was really good. I would recommend Hoshi Ramen as a good ramen spot.“
“I tried this for the first time tonight and man it sure didn't disappoint! I'm mad I waited so long to give it a try! I got two sushi rolls, a combo fried rice and a sesame chicken. The portions are nice and big and the fried rice, it was the best I've ever eaten! So happy this place is so close to me, it is my new fav spot, def give them a chance!“
“Mom n pop with high end mix.Cozy size restaurant great for dining solo or with friends, with very nice decor. Their non-sushi food, like their bento box, are on the lighter side of taste but served with very good portions. Their sushi is superb! I had their lobster tower for the first time and it was instant addiction. I failed to take its picture but that will just give me an excuse to go back. I highly recommend!“
“Amazing little find! I had such a hard time trying to decide what to eat! The Mura hand roll was AMAZING! The lunch bento box was significantly larger than expected. I ordered the chicken bento. The seasoning on the chicken was inconsistent as some pieces were very salt while others were underseasoned. Only a 4 for service because waitress spent several minutes talking to wait staff while I had no water. Only 4 on atmosphere because it was very dark and they have something resembling a sushi bar but it goes straight into a wall. 100% will consider coming here again if I'm in the area.“
“Went for lunch on this gloomy Friday and the restaurant only had two table when we came in. Both my boyfriend's Ramen and mine came out hot and delicious. The chasu was very soft and easily pulled apart with chopsticks. I like the use of chili paste instead of chili oil for spice.“
“I can’t believe we haven’t tried this place before now! The food is delicious. Sometimes when I see a menu offering two different types of ethnic cuisine, I become skeptical because authenticity might be compromised. O have to say, this place does Japanese Ramen and Thai dishes just right. I lived in Japan for three years. Both their traditional and fusion offerings were delicious. My daughter had yellow curry Ramen (not traditional at all but DELICIOUS!), we had shrimp shumai as an appetizer. My traditional pork Ramen was yummy. Service is as good as it can be for a family owned restaurant with cooks and servers speaking just enough English to answer your questions. The wait for food was normal compared to a chain restaurant. Charming, authentic, clean. We will be coming back!!Kid-friendliness: If your kiddo is allowed to have carbonated drinks, they’ve got to order a Ramune!Wheelchair accessibility: There are no steps to take for entry. Tables are spaced well, with room to maneuver for wheelchair users“
“The spicy tonkotsu ramen was amazing. The chashu was perfectly cooked and tasty. I'm not a big fan of eggs or bean sprouts, but theirs tasted so good. The takoyaki was delicious soft flavorful and didn't need the eel sauce and fish flakes you get at other restaurants. I didn't leave anything behind it was also so good.The owners are very nice and attentive people. The restaurant is simple but the food is outstanding. The presentation of the food it absolutely beautiful. I'd love to come back and try their shoyu ramen.“
“Its not for me. We’re going through and trying out the sushi in this area. Im extremely particular about my sushi. I got the dragon roll and it was over filled with imitation crab, a pinprick of avocado but a good amount of yellowtail topper. Terrible execution. Cucumber salad was also disappointing. Tasted and looked old and leftover. Overall, I may try this once more as it was def better than Oishii but so far, only Hatsuyuki and Nikko have been able to compete with my rankings while searching this side of the airport. Im desperate to find some more that reach my expectations!!!“
