Sushi Kozy

Start to finish, Sushi Kozy is the best Japanese kaiseki inspired omakase restaurant in Dallas. Period. Manager Bronson was so informative and kind even before my dining experience happened at Sushi Kozy! I always have trouble parking in downtown Dallas but he gave me direction to where to park so because of that I could find parking in about 10 seconds. And when I walked in, he greeted me with a big smile and kind words of saying “happy anniversary” to me and my girlfriend. After that he led us to our bar seat right infront of chef Ko. And for our server David, he was very kind, also informative with all the dishes that came out and very attentive start to finish. And for the meal course? Chef Ko did not miss on anything. Every bite was heavenly. Every bite surprised me and wowed me. I swear, every bite me and my girlfriend took we looked at each other with our eyes wide open and said “wow. This is amazing.” I tried many different fancy sushi/japanese restaurant but none of them never wowed me but Sushi Kozy was different. I could tell how much effort and time was put in to each dishes that chef Ko created and I thank him and all the crews at sushi Kozy for a dining experience that I will never be able to forget. I will make sure to come back to try their other season menus as well.

During my short vacation in Dallas, I searched for a great restaurant to visit, and Sushi Kozy immediately stood out—so I decided to give it a try. To put it simply, this place is the best sushi omakase I’ve ever experienced in terms of taste, service, and atmosphere. Starting with the chawanmushi and the otsumami—which the chef introduced as bar bites—every dish was so memorable that I kept thinking about them long after the course ended. The sushi that followed, along with the main dishes, were equally impressive. I chose the Sea course and my companion chose the Land course, and both were absolutely perfect. And the temaki — I expected a roll because of the name, but it came out in the cutest taco shape! A tiny seaweed taco packed with incredible flavor. The desserts were also a flawless finish to the meal. My favorite was the Japanese sweet potato ice cream paired with the slightly salty miso sauce—such a unique and unforgettable combination. They also mentioned that the menu changes seasonally, which gives me the perfect reason to come back and try their new creations in the future. Sushi Kozy made my Dallas vacation feel complete — and perfectly Kozy, just like its name.😀

This omakase experience felt truly special from the moment the first course arrived. Each dish had its own personality, with thoughtful combinations of flavors and textures that made every bite memorable. The presentation was stunning — vibrant colors, incredibly fresh ingredients, and plates that looked like they were crafted with real intention. I could genuinely feel the chef’s care and creativity throughout the entire meal. It’s one of those dining experiences that stays with you long after you leave. Highly recommend.

My friend and I had an AMAZING time here celebrating our birthdays. We sat at the cocktail area and had a wonderful omakase experience. The cocktail and wine list is curated with care, and it obvious they take a lot of pride in providing a unique, elevated experience. Despite the high level of execution, it’s not pretentious. Our waiter went above and beyond to make it a great experience and make us feel comfortable exploring some new foods/drinks. They have created a kind and enjoyable atmosphere that is definitely worth checking out! I will certainly be back next time I’m in Dallas.

A fantastic omakase experience comparable to what you’d find in Ginza or any of Tokyo’s major dining hubs. You can genuinely taste the dedication and precision of every member of the staff. The menu changes monthly and is priced around $185 for a beautifully executed 17-course meal, with optional add-ons and the opportunity to order à la carte if you’re still hungry at the end (I wasn’t—it was more than satisfying). The experience lasts about two hours, and the ambiance is calm and refined without feeling overly hushed. Each dish is meticulously crafted and expertly prepared, and the restaurant more than lives up to its Michelin recommendation. If you’ve never experienced a true omakase, Sushi Kozy will fundamentally change how you view sushi. And if you’ve had many, Sushi Kozy will easily rank among the best.

Best omakase in Dallas hands down! Have been to nearly every omakase and new restaurant in town and this is the best food we’ve had in Dallas. Amazing service, great intimate vibe, 10/10 food, impeccable attention to detail; Chef Ko is on scene and has a noticeable level of intention and integrity. Mimi was so kind, lovely, and knowledgeable. Some people are just meant to do what they’re doing and there is a lot of that happening here. Absolutely loved and would recommend to anyone without hesitation.

This was my second visit to Sushi Kozy. The first time, I sat in the dining room, but this time I had the chance to sit at the sushi bar. From start to finish, there wasn't a single dish that disappointed me. Every course was so delicious that it made me smile and nod with every bite. If you're celebrating a special occasion, an anniversary, or simply love amazing Japanese food, Sushi Kozy in Dallas is the place to be. The warm and attentive service made the evening even more memorable. On the drive home, I kept thinking back to how wonderful the whole omakase experience was. If you're looking for the best omakase in Dallas, I highly recommend Sushi Kozy.

You can tell Chef Ko really knows his fish because every piece of nigiri had its own personality. If this were akin to a play, then the kanpachi with shiso relish and the anago topped with a touch of sansho pepper were the stars of the show. Overall, the pace of the meal was very well balanced and each dish delivered quality. In addition to the food, you can feel the vibe of how personal the experience feels when sitting at the bar. Chef Ko and the staff are welcoming and unpretentious, which makes the whole evening feel relaxed instead of stuffy. You can tell they genuinely care about giving you an amazing experience. I can see why they recently got Michelin recommended - the food is art here. The sushi plates also look super neat and cool 😎

I had such a great experience here! First, the decor/aesthetic was beautiful and thoughtfully designed -- modern, cozy, and clean (even the bathroom was spotless!). We sat at the cocktail bar, and Hunter was an amazing bartender -- super friendly and knowledgeable. The service overall was top notch from start to finish from the chefs to the bartender to the host! The food was absolutely fantastic -- a perfect mix of omakase and small plates from the kitchen. Every single dish was delicious. EVERY ONE. I learned the omakase selections change daily, and some dishes and desserts are seasonal, which makes me even more excited to come back and see what's new next season! I definitely recommend making a reservation at either the sushi bar or the cocktail bar for the best experience. (Also just an FYI The restaurant does do parking validation as well) So in case ya'll are wondering, I'll 100% be returning!

After following the beginning of their online journey on Instagram late last year, I finally got the chance to dine at Sushi Kozy with my husband and two friends last night - what a decadent mid-week meal it was! We all had an amazing time and the three hour dinner flew by. We arrived a bit late because of traffic and my husband walked in even later after circling for parking, but the host was super gracious and quickly sat us at the sushi bar. Chef Scott took great care of us throughout the night and the rest of the staff were all incredibly attentive without being obtrusive; it's a difficult line to walk sometimes! My husband and I ordered hot tea and our friends got a bottle of the Copenhagen Sparkling Tea (which was actually amazing - I'd never had sparkling tea before and will be looking out for it in the future) for the table. Once our full party was complete, our main server went through the day's menu options. After some decision making, my husband and I added on the off menu item of the evening (a Hokkaido hairy crab dish) and decided to do one each of the land and sea tastings. The full menu is in my photos so I won't cover every single one, but some of my favorites of the night were, in order of presentation, the hotate pineapple tart (the tart shell made entirely of pineapple was amazing), the tako kushi (perfect char paired with perfect pickling technique), the madai otsukuri (so light and herbal and texturally interesting), one of the most buttery pieces of akami I've ever had!!, the uni & anago nigiri, the halibut (wonderfully flaky, paired so well with the curry), the temaki (very impressed by how crisp the nori shell stayed, and how the truffle didn't overwhelm), the green tea sorbet (such a great light finish), and the mochi donut (loved the savory flavor from the foie gras filling). Even the dishes I didn't like quite as much were all thoughtfully put together. Sushi rice was delicious in both flavor and texture and Chef Scott did a wonderful job putting each piece together, perfect fish & rice & wasabi ratio. At no point in the flow of the evening did I feel like I was getting too much of one particular flavor or too much or little richness; the entire dinner was incredibly well-balanced and we were all comfortably full by the end of the night. Also appreciated the two gifts from the kitchen/chef we got - the strawberry shot was a delightful palate cleanser after the land/sea tastings and the additional piece of sea perch nigiri was lovely. I think my only tiny quibbles were that at some moments of the evening, things did start to feel a little dragged out; this was most apparent after the last nigiri course and before the land/sea tastings. I did appreciate the breath before the next beat of the meal but 20 minutes still feels a little long. And then the other thing is more of a personal preference and something that can be played with in the future as the menu evolves -- I think I might have enjoyed a little more interspersing of the nigiri with the non-nigiri throughout the evening, just for more contrast. I understand why the current flow is set up the way that it is, but breaking up the nigiri with smaller kitchen dishes in between might make the menu feel a bit more dynamic? Otherwise, though, we had a very enjoyable meal at Sushi Kozy and I would recommend it to anyone looking to experience a fancy night out! The interior was super nice and we loved sitting at the sushi bar and getting to see a bunch of the dishes get constructed. Parking is validated and our server kindly informed us how to get out if our ticket was too scratched, which ended up being helpful since the reader couldn't take it. Menus change every quarter or so, so there's always something new to experience!

Kozy's nigiri didn't really stand out for me. It's not bad but it didn't have any quality that made it notable to the slew of other omakase that has popped up in the DFW area. What I do remember are the other non-nigiri dishes. For example, the small bite of hotate, tosajure, and caviar all packed on a small cracker like shell. Very tasty! If there was an a la carte option to order the non-nigiri dishes, I would definitely do them. The atmosphere of Kozy is very minimalistic and chique. The service is impeccable.

Every dish at Sushi Kozy was a true work of art. Each bite felt like tasting heaven -- beautifully balanced, creative, and full of flavor. I tried every cocktail on the menu, and each one was incredible. The entire experience was beyond amazing and absolutely worth it.

Even though I am pretty Omasake'd out, we visited Sushi Kozy. And I am glad I did, actually may go back when their menu changes. I liked that we had a table and didn't sit at a traditional sushi bar. I liked we could start and finish at our own time instead of the set two seating omasake. I liked that it wasn't all nigiri and sashimi but more of a kaiseki with other dishes. And the other dishes were the stars for me. Some gleefully delicate, some surprised me with punches of flavor! Ambience is warm and comfortable in natural light and as it gets dark more intimate. Staff is friendly without feeling too casual or fake and efficient without seeming too busy or rushed. One of the best I've seen in Dallas.

Tried one of their lunch sets and it was great. I didn't like their miso soup though. It was very salty. Strange that most places don't make this simple soup right

Really great omakase experience with excellent staff and a very chic space. I would highly recommend. Everything was so delicious!

The new star in Dallas! Delicious and filling Omakase which, in my opinion, is a bargain at $185. The custard soup comes out 1st and you are immediately certain the chefs are serious operators. The next 4 bite sized pieces are unique and exciting. You will wish you had 3 or 4 of each piece because they are so delicious. Next is the Nigiri selection and it is a tribute to the true Japanese art of treating the fish and rice in harmony such that you appreciate each piece as a unique masterpiece. No fussy toppings or over-vinegared rice (I am told the chefs tasted over 24 varieties of rice to arrive at the perfect compliment to the seafood). The result is a pleasure you will want to hug the waiter for bringing the dish and spark your desire to try the next piece. Next comes an impossible choice, land or sea. Land is a perfectly prepared duck breast with a cripy skin and a jus which will make you want to like the plate. Sea is a portion of lobster tail in a unique curry blend with Chantrelles which I secretly snuck a few bites from my wife and wished we could have both land and sea! The final savory dish is a shocking rock star! A fish taco unlike anything I have ever seen! Crispy seaweed, dressed fish and an intoxicating truffle aioli. Seriously? Who does this? Thank you chefs! As if this wasn't enough you get 2 desserts which are refreshing and decadent. This place is a gem in Dallas dining! The chefs formerly from Cry Wolf and Uchi will dazzle your palate, the waiters will make you feel at ease, the environment will make you feel welcome and comfortable and the front of the house will greet you with a warm smile. I wish I could keep this place a secret! Enjoy and applaud!

Where to begin!? From the attentive and very respectful people who meet you at the door to chef Paul creating his dishes right in front of you. Everything in between is beyond incredible. We celebrated a birthday and there was a custom made menu just for my girlfriend. The staff is top notch. Service is impeccable. Cocktails are very impressive. We were lucky enough to have Paul serve us and explain everything from when and where he started to adding his go to sushi place to our bucket list. Such an unforgettable experience. Every course was simply incredible. The duck blew my mind. The atmosphere is perfect. We will be returning without a doubt. Don't wait or sleep on this place. Get there before its going to be too hard getting in

Kozy is a Must-Try! The food was incredible. The chef prepares a special menu for you, and every single dish was delicious. Sushi was so fresh and beautifully presented.But the best part was the service. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Our server was always there when we needed something, but never bothered us. The food, the service, and the whole experience were perfect. We will be back!
