The Best Sushi in Dallas
From a Michelin-starred Deep Ellum omakase counter to Uptown a la carte rolls — where to eat sushi in Dallas.
Tatsu Dallas, in Deep Ellum, holds a Michelin 1 Star (2024, 2025) and was a James Beard Best New Restaurant semifinalist in 2023 — its 20-course edomae omakase is the highest-scoring sushi seat in the city. It anchors a Dallas sushi scene that now runs from a single reservation-only counter to Uptown dining rooms working through Japanese and Japanese-Peruvian menus.
The split here is between edomae omakase — a fixed, chef-led progression of nigiri served seat-by-seat at the counter, as at Tatsu and Namo — and a la carte rooms like Uchi, Nobu, and Shinsei where you order rolls, sashimi, and cooked plates off a menu. Counters cluster in Deep Ellum and the West Village, with the Uptown and Park Cities rooms leaning larger and more flexible. At an omakase seat expect a set price, a set length, and a hard-to-get reservation; the a la carte rooms are the easier walk-in.
Tatsu Dallas
The city's top sushi seat: a Deep Ellum counter holding a Michelin 1 Star (2024, 2025) and a 2023 James Beard Best New Restaurant semifinalist nod. The format is a 20-course edomae omakase built on house-made bonito dashi and a seasonal nigiri flight. Reservations run through Resy, and it sits at the top price tier.
Uchi Dallas
An Uptown modern-Japanese room from chef Tyson Cole, a James Beard Best Chef Southwest winner (2011). The menu is a la carte rather than a fixed omakase, with signatures like maguro and goat cheese, the hama chili, and hot rock wagyu. Book through Resy; price sits at the top tier.
Nobu Dallas
The Dallas outpost of the Japanese-Peruvian group, in Uptown. The kitchen runs the canon — black cod miso, rock shrimp tempura, yellowtail jalapeno, and scallops with jalapeno salsa — alongside its sushi and sashimi. Reservations are on OpenTable at the top price tier.
Namo
An edomae sushi counter in the West Village built around a 19-course omakase. Beyond the set progression it serves nigiri, sashimi, and maki a la carte. Reservations run through Resy at the top price tier.
Shinsei
A Park Cities pan-Asian room with a deep sushi list, a notch below the omakase counters on price. The signatures lean playful — poppers, lobster tacos, Katina's crispy rice, and the tuna crunch. Reservations are on OpenTable.
Bar Colette
A West Village cocktail bar with a modern-sushi program, a 2025 James Beard Best New Bar finalist. The food side stays tight — modern sushi and nigiri to pair with the drinks list. Reservations run through OpenTable.
