“If you're willing to spend a bit of money to try something unique, memorable, and absolutely delicious, this is the place for you“

“The literal only complaint is that our food came out way too fast. We were out in 35 minutes. Slow down. We ordered an app and drinks. We may have ordered another round of drinks if the food hadn't come out so quickly. Again, it's not a complaint. It's amazing that we got out that quickly.“

“Went here for dinner after getting engaged. Staff were super nice. The ambiance is nice and there's a small bar section if you're waiting and then thr actual sushi bar. There's 2-3 booth tables, regular, and high tables for seating. No patio. A small menu but delivers on flavor and fresh sushi. Also love having the tic-tac-toe while waiting in between orders.“

“We love Sushiya! It’s an intimate restaurant with hands-on service and excellent food! We drive 45 mjn to eat here. We highly recommend then!“

“I've been a frequent customer of Moriya Shokudo since I moved to the area around a year ago, and I always have amazing food and have the best experience here. They've really nailed down a cozy Japanese comfort food stop and I always think of here first when I want to sit down and have a delicious meal that brings my spirits up“

“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!“

“The sushi was fantastic: tornado roll, sunshine roll, and Maji fire. Wonderful combination of flavors and textures. We asked for extra ginger and got a ton. The owner, chefs, and servers were wonderful. The owner and head chef gave us two complimentary seared salmon 🍣 nigiri, So delicious. We are from ft worth but we’ll be back for sure. Loved it.“

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

“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!!“

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

“Food is outstanding so yummy and fresh as sushi can be.“

“We went to Mabo for their Omakase dinner. The attention to detail is what elevates this restaurant’s dining experience. Upon entering into small dining room, guests enjoy an intimate dining area limited to 8-9 guests per seating. Guests experience is at the root of everything Mabo offers. Chef has curated an amazing menu that allows guests through an amazing culinary experience. Each of the courses is prepared and presented with instructions of how each dish is intended to be enjoyed. Both serve and chef were attentive, professional, and ensured guests had an excellent experience. 10/10 would recommend for those looking for Dallas’ Best Omakase dinner, or a special celebratory dinner.“

“I had the omakase. and was disappointed with the fact there was a heavily fried dish of shrimp and corn that came out mid point of the experience. The sashimi was pretty good but, not too much thought was put into it. Other than the two kind of misteps my overall experience was amazing! the staff was helpful and the flavors were fun! I highly recommend the sesame mousse for dessert and the sea bass melted in your mouth and the soba noodles with the various dipping sauces were to die for ♡“

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

“What an awesome experience. Amazing food. Will eat here again.“

“This lace is absolutely awesome!“

“Had the 4 course tasting menu for $49.95 for lunch. It was both tasty and creative. In fact, I thought it was absolute bargain, given the quality. I have dined on sushi through out the US and in Europe. My lunch was among the best flavors and creativity I have consumed. It is not only great for Dallas, it was world class“

“We try to come here a couple times every month, the owners are so friendly and the sushi is always fresh. They always have gentle and upbeat music playing, and the sushi bar is very cool and creates a nice ambiance. We always grab 4-5 rolls, a spicy edamame, and a couple orders of sake. Have been probably 20 times now, and the experience is always a 10/10.“

“Such a gem to find! My mom and I were looking for a casual sushi spot and we loved this place. It was just one man working the counter and making the food. He was very pleasant and was handling the incoming customers by himself well. His rolls were great and so reasonably priced! We would love to come back!“

“I really wanted to like this place. We got an appetizer, drinks, and 3 rolls. The Crab Dynamite and the mt axiom rolls were really good but we also got the crunchy salmon and it was burnt. We asked to have it taken off the bill and was told no but we could have a to go box and 20% off the one role. Definitely won't be returning.“

“The food and service were wonderful!!“

“Impressed! We needed a quick bite to eat and after seeing this is DRIVE-THRU Sushi and had good reviews we had to check it out! We visited on a Saturday night and there was no line in the drivethru. Customer service was great! We ordered a few pieces of sushi and a special roll. The wait was quick and the sushi was great! They do not skimp on fish! We loved it and will be back next time we’re in the area!“

“Great Ramen spot with Japanese accoutrement throughout. I would definitely recommend!“

“🍥muy agradable el ambiente“

“Delicious “fireside cooking” or Robatayaki in which items of food on skewers are slow-grilled over hot charcoal. Liver, hart, tongue etc. the fresh items, Sashimi and Sushi are excellent as well. Wonderful services from owner and her staff. Sushi chef’s are excellent prepared sushi at the bar. Love cozy atmosphere as well.“

“Absolutely lovely and amazing! This is the best meal out we had in a long time from start to finish. The staff are attentive, professional and polite. The restaurant is very clean and unique! All the dishes are delicious. The presentation is a work of art. I give it a 10+ 💓 and sure will come back🌹💞Attached pictures are all the dishes that we had tried 😊 all so so good“
