Did you like it better than Uchiko? Why ?

[-]

sienrfsh@reddit

Uchiko is more instagrammy and less focus on the food imo

[-]

Ok_Statistician643@reddit

Spot on. Totally disappointed by food quality and huge prices. Otho like the sister restaurant Uchi

[-]

We don't not like Uchi, been going since the original was the only one in Austin. But Ebesu just hits different. Uchi is imo more American tailored. Ebesu holds to a more traditional japanese sushi flavor and passion.

[-]

mar_floof@reddit

Having eaten at both, EBESU is the way. The flavor is better, and the experience is just…. Unreal, especially if you order one of their prefixed menu experiences. Each course builds, and you’re cooking your own wagu beef on hot lava rocks…

And you don’t always need reservations. We walked in on my birthday a few years back and were able to get a table for 2 without a wait. Admittedly it was mid-week but it happens

[-]

pmyaznoods@reddit

We enjoyed Ebesu a lot and my Asian wife had lived in Japan for a while so knows which is good. But, we have not tried Uchiko.

[-]

jesuisunvampir@reddit

I truly enjoyed uchiko and I think its a solid place

[-]

Csharp27@reddit

Yea, Ebesu is one of the best restaurants in DFW. Chef was a James beard award finalist and it was named #32 on the best places to eat in the country by Yelp(so take it with a grain of salt but still impressive).

[-]

Shoot2ill@reddit

It's not the best but definitely the most expensive.

[-]

DJGreenMan@reddit

+1 for EBESU

[-]

Jealous-Friendship34@reddit

I almost hate to second this because you need reservations to get in, but EBESU is the best restaurant in Plano.

[-]

Ok_Statistician643@reddit

Uchi

chamilton41@reddit

tei an dallas -- no other correct answer

[-]

Swampy_Smith0891@reddit

I think Tei An is the best restaurant I've ever tried. Omakase here is killer. But, it is a drive from Plano.

[-]

aek82@reddit

Also its sister restaurant, Tei Tei

[-]

JacksonDWalter@reddit

Their cornflake shrimp is so good.

[-]

jesuisunvampir@reddit

I love tei an but its not as sushi forward at other restaurants suggested on here Defenetly better than Uchi

[-]

thecastortroy1991@reddit

Sushi Bar ~ Grandiose Experience all around.

Hatsuyuki ~ Tremendous flavor and creative hand-rolls

Dozo Sushi ~ if you want to just feast at home without sacrificing quality.

[-]

r00kTX@reddit

Ebesu

[-]

coolrodion89@reddit

Kinzo was really good, even better than Tatsu

Business_Article5656@reddit

i can't believe no one has said Namo...

Ebesu

NUNYAA@reddit

Sushi Sake and it’s not close

[-]

Puzzleheaded_View225@reddit

It is great, but I wouldn't want to share a table with strangers for an anniversary dinner.

[-]

Krpitzner@reddit

I’ve eaten there many times and my wife and I have never shared a table with strangers unless we choose to sit at the sushi bar.

[-]

Puzzleheaded_View225@reddit

How’d you manage that??

[-]

Krpitzner@reddit

After thinking about it more, usually we choose to sit at the sushi bar unless we’re going with a larger group of people because we enjoy watching the chef prepare our food in front of us.

[-]

Krpitzner@reddit

Sushi Sake in Richardson is the underrated GOAT.

[-]

Texan2020katza@reddit

I agree!

Sushi Bar in downtown Dallas. Omakase service for nine diners. Amazing sushi--best I ever had--but kinda pricey.

[-]

Connect_Waltz_2940@reddit

Sushi bar at the adolphus hotel in Dallas! Amazing experience. Only seats about 10 people, it’s a speakeasy vibe with 17 courses.

We’ve also been loving uchiko but we’ve nailed down the way to do it. The happy hour menu is way better than the regular menu. If you go for dinner the omakase is the way to go! It changes every week but always delicious.

Yujo in frisco is one of our favorites for handrolls and nigiri. Never disappoints.

Ebesu in downtown Plano is also amazing.

[-]

krnDirk@reddit

The answer is simply Tatsu. That was the answer premichelin and still

[-]

LaLa762@reddit

I can't believe Masami https://www.masamirestaurant.net/ hasn't come up.

Fantastic, and they serve sake in the traditional wooden cups. Absolutely worth checking out.

[-]

ForagedFoodie@reddit

The wait list is usually 3-6 months out but if you want to start planning for next year, consider Keiichi in Denton.

[-]

LaLa762@reddit

Cosign. You'll have to schlep more than 20 mins, and a reservation is HARD to get, but this place?
Legend.

[-]

adieu_cherie@reddit

I moved to the DFW area last year for college, so I haven’t gone around much, but I treated myself to Yūjō Nori in Carrollton in May for my 21st birthday. I think it was pretty good.

[-]

TheRamblerJohnson@reddit

Richardson has Sushi Sake. It is the best I've had.

[-]

Accomplished-Bug4327@reddit

Nobu in Dallas or Keichii in Denton

You’ll have to make reservations pretty far in advance at Keichii but it’s worth it

I think Nobu is better than Uchii

[-]

jalapenos10@reddit

Completely disagree on nobu over Uchi

[-]

Accomplished-Bug4327@reddit

Idk, maybe I should try Uchi again but I just didn’t get the hype

[-]

Altoid27@reddit

Seconded on Keichii. My favorite sushi in town but you do have to jump through a few hoops to get a reservation.

Grab dinner there then walk over to The Square for a nightcap at Paschall Bar.

[-]

SportingDirector@reddit

I like Thai's Thumbz. Always great service, food always hits, and clean, etc.

But I am but a young man so maybe people with more exploration would know

[-]

satanchu_@reddit

If Deep Ellum isn't too far, Nori Handroll bar is incredible, as well as Tatsu if course.

[-]

BettyFosterRamsey@reddit

Musume. They have one downtown and at the Star. We went to the downtown location for my brother’s birthday this year and it was incredible.

[-]

greens11@reddit

Tatsu in Dallas

Kinzo in Frisco

Both are phenomenal.

[-]

DragonfruitOk4329@reddit

Ebesu in Plano center without a doubt

[-]

EnvironmentalLuck515@reddit

Simons Sushi is our favorite sushi place. Get the BTS.

[-]

dnarevolutions@reddit

People have already suggested Nobu and Uchi so I’ll suggest Hanakin for a regular restaurant or Tatsu Dallas for a more private omakase experience.

[-]

littlelady228@reddit

Kotta in Frisco

[-]

Dopeboyfreshhh@reddit

It’s in Dallas but sushi Kozy was one of the best sushi meals I’ve had in the Dallas.

[-]

jnwebb0063@reddit

You’re a good partner

[-]

DueSavings45@reddit

Hatsuyuki Handroll bar in Frisco is some of the best sushi I've had, maybe ever. The menu is pretty much all raw tho, so if you want some cooked items you may want to go elsewhere.

[-]

pewpewwww@reddit

This place is hands down our favorite place in the area. No reservations but show up before they open 4:45pm-4:50pm and you’d have no issues. Menu is what’s fresh and once they’re out of an item they’re out. I whole heartedly agree this place slaps.

[-]

kausbose@reddit

How is Tatsu not on this list if money is not an objection. It's a "true experience" of a sushi tasting menu. It's only fish, because that's how sushi is supposed to be. Getting in is a challenge, but highly recommended.

[-]

pewpewwww@reddit

I’ve been about 5 times before they got their star. It wasn’t too hard getting a res but now it’s probably a lot harder. Also I went the day before the star was announced and it was sadly not as good as before. After they got rid of their bar side and started two seatings with the chefs split something has been just a little off. Amazing owners though and would still recommend anyone try at least once.

[-]

solotroop@reddit

Uchiko or Ebesu hands down

[-]

wbd3434@reddit

Oishii

[-]

solotroop@reddit

The oishii off Wycliff is good, the one in Plano is a 6.5/10

[-]

nounthennumbers@reddit

Underrated choice. Maybe not the fanciest but definitely worth every penny.

[-]

crazydogs74@reddit

Densetsu! On spring creek and edoko sushi and robata in cityline in Richardson!

[-]

mar_floof@reddit

See I fell since Covid the quality has just cratered. Last 2 times we have eaten there the wife has felt queezy afterwards.

[-]

aek82@reddit

Kessaku

Its a bit further than 20 minutes, but the Thompson Hotel in downtown Dallas has a sushi bar on the very top floor that lets you view the downtown skyline. Its more of a after hours sushi bar than a restaurant on weekends. If you visit on the weekdays, its usually not that busy and can be a great night out.

[-]

lov3you3000@reddit

Hatsuyuki handroll bar opened a location in Frisco is amazing but Uchi and Uchiko is also great and fancier ambiance. There’s also Tatsu (may not be 20 minutes) but they are the only Michelin star restaurant in Dallas.

[-]

sydly96@reddit

Seconding Hatsuyuki!!! My husband and I have gone a couple of times now and it’s incredible. Before, I would have said Uchi was my favorite, but this has knocked it out of first place. No reservations, they only accept walk-ins, but we’ve usually had good luck by eating earlier.

Also suggest stopping by Heritage Table or Eight 11 Place nearby afterwards for dessert/or drinks if you have time!

[-]

Kindly-Might-1879@reddit

We love Sushi Sakana at Parker/Custer.

Or try the tiered buffet at Sushi Masa, also excellent.

[-]

AssignmentSecret@reddit (OP)

Did uchi in Dallas lat year. She liked it 😅

[-]

AssignmentSecret@reddit (OP)

Went with Uchiko. Going omakase. 🙏

[-]

BeeGeeEh@reddit

Go full omakase if you can. Yujo Nori in Carrollton has a good set. I think Uchiko does too.
