The 38 Best Restaurants in Dallas | Eater Dallas
"Chef Tatsu is a master of simple treatments of nigiri that highlight both the quality of the fish (almost everything he serves is flown in from Japan) and his culinary skill as a sushi chef. While the omakase is largely nigiri and sashimi, there is one course in the meal that highlights Texas-grown rice. It’s a nice nod to how chef Tatsu uses local farmers for as many elements as he can. Michelin took notice, rating Tatsu the only starred restaurant in DFW at its inaugural Texas ceremony. The small dining room at this restaurant makes it challenging to land a reservation, but it’s worth the effort; the two-hour omakase service, which has two seatings each night, five days a week, is also worth the $185 price tag. Beverage pairings are available for an additional cost. Vibe check: Don’t go expecting a party. The work of chef Tatsu is the star here, and the tight, well-lit, and minimalistic dining room reflects it. Expect muted, classic music and hushed tones. It’s best to dress to match in your finest beige." - Courtney E. Smith
