Michelin-starred omakase with pristine fish & precise Edo-style technique
"Still holding its Michelin star, this restaurant retained its status." - H. Drew Blackburn
"Dallas’s 2024 Michelin nod came via this sushi counter helmed by Tokyo-trained chef Tatsuya Sekiguchi, which earned a star." - H. Drew Blackburn
"With just 10 counter seats inside the renovated Continental Gin Building, securing a reservation requires perseverance, but arriving on time delivers the genuine article as all guests are served together. The omakase runs around 14 pieces and follows the Edomae tradition, with fish that grows steadily stronger in flavor—think Alaskan sockeye salmon, Spanish tuna, delicious uni from Hokkaido, and eel from Maine—set over Hokkaido rice shaped by chef Tatsuya Sekiguchi’s deft, practiced movements, with the size even adjusted on request." - Michael He
"Tatsu is one of the most difficult reservations in Dallas. But unless you love throwing money around, it's likely only going to be a once-a-year hassle—this is the table you book when something truly remarkable is happening in your life. The city’s greatest sushi spot lists the origin of everything they serve on the menu—even the salt—and dishes mix local produce with the best stuff they can fly in from Japan, like Texas grass over perfect sushi rice. During the $200, 20-course omakase, you’ll eat the freshest amberjack money can buy as you watch the chef slice bluefin tuna, only to see it show up later in a small box that sends silky curls of smoke floating around you." - nick rallo
"Tatsu is the platonic ideal of an omakase restaurant. The minimalist 10-seat space and its talented chef draw diners for its stunning tasting menu that features the best fish Japan is willing to part with (fatty tuna, creamy Hokkaido scallops), all laid to rest on perfect rice that's cooked in mineral-rich Crazy Water. Watch for reservations like a hawk, then pounce when they drop." - kevin gray
