Top Best Japanese Restaurants in Garland

"James Beard award-winning chef Tyson Cole's Austin-based sushi paradise has been a hot-ticket reservation since the restaurant opened near Uptown in 2015. And for good reason: The menu features an exquisite lineup of nigiri and sashimi as well as innovative takes on Japanese dishes. Fresh, high-quality ingredients shine with crowd-pleasers like thinly sliced flounder with candied quinoa, and oak-grilled escolar dressed in ponzu and citrus marmalade."

"When it comes to finding fresh seafood, sushi is usually a solid choice. But James Beard award-winning chef Tyson Cole's restaurant, Uchi, offers much more than nigiri and sashimi, though they have that here, too. Expect also to see a lineup of inventive small plates that include standouts such as hirame usuzukuri (thinly sliced raw flounder with candied quinoa) and the machi cure, composed of smoked yellowtail, yucca chips and marcona almonds."

"Home to what is arguably Dallas’s finest sushi and soba, chef Teiichi Sakurai’s Tei-An remains a beloved Dallas dining destination more than 12 years after its Dallas debut. Splurge on an omakase that boasts A5 wagyu beef and fish shipped in fresh from all over the world, or stop by during lunch for top-notch nigiri and soba served a la carte."

"A Japanese restaurant in the One Arts Plaza, Tei-An shows the diversity of Dallas by giving you fresh seafood instead of tex-mex, and saki bombs ready to knock you out of your tree. You’ll need a membership to drink and dine upstairs, though you can visit the rooftop bar if you’re eating in the downstairs restaurant."

"Tei-An is one of the very best Japanese restaurants in Dallas, located in the Arts District of downtown. And while the restaurant is well known, its rooftop bar is a bit more secret. But then it is foremost a memebers only rooftop, and only from time to time open to the public."

"Niwa Japanese BBQ, a Japanese steakhouse that offers barbecue and more in Deep Ellum, is another much-loved go-to, with 4.5 stars out of 399 Yelp reviews. Head over to 2939 Main St. to give it a try for yourself."

"In 2006, Tracy Rathbun and Lynae Fearing turned their longtime dream of opening a “little taco stand” into a reality — only it’s a far cry from a little taco stand. Their pan-Asian restaurant Shinsei is nothing short of an institution on the Dallas dining scene with its stylish décor, enticing flavor pairings (braised pork steam buns, crispy Brussels sprouts, hoisin baby back ribs), fresh sushi, and Asian-inspired cocktails such as the Toki highball (Japanese whisky, lemon, cucumber, mint, and a big ice ball). Rathbun and Fearing have since opened a second location in DFW Airport, as well as a popular seafood restaurant called Lovers Seafood."

"The chic Park Cities hot spot is serving a solid assortment of sushi and Asian-fusion specialties for well-heeled neighbors. Simplicity rules in the spicy tuna roll, but there’s also snow crab and or specialties like the Dragon Lady Press, with flame-seared salmon, serrano peppers, and crispy onions or Asian cabbage slaw or, again, coconut chicken jalapeño poppers with yellow curry dipping sauce. The saketini is a favorite."

"Shinsei, whose name means "rebirth," has earned four stars out of 234 reviews on Yelp. Treat yourself at the sushi bar and pan-Asian spot by heading over to 7713 Inwood Road in north Dallas. Shinsei made Open Table's 2017 list of the "100 Best Restaurants in America," only one of four Dallas restaurants to do so, reports CultureMap Dallas."

"With locations all over the metroplex, Zenna becomes a quick favorite for their insanely popular (and really delicious) happy hour. Seriously, it lasts from 3:00-7:00 PM and has just the best menu!. You can get sushi for $3, other popular tapas (like Heaven Beef or Crispy Spring Rolls) for $4, or even a Beer Tower for $6."

"Asian restaurant in Dallas located on Rosemeade Pkwy offering both Japanese and Thai food options such as sushi, curry, noodles, fried rice and lunch bento boxes."

"This local Japanese restaurant chain offers a fun interactive dining experience with the hibachi tables, which are excellent for families, social events and happy hours."

"One of the city’s few options for dining in a tatami room that must be reserved in advance, Teppo is also a yakitori heaven. Pay close attention to the specials board, where the day’s freshest fish and oysters will be priced."

"It’s going to be so hard to decide between Teppo’s sushi or their juicy Yakitori selection. Might as well get both, right?. Address: 2014 Greenville Ave, Dallas"

"Another brewery that’s heavily invested in hoppiness, Celestial can be found just a short jaunt south of Love Field. Open seven days a week, Celestial always has plenty of New England-style IPAs on draft, most of which are available in 16 oz to-go cans. With a focus on freshness and a taproom that combines the owner’s love of beer with their love of space and art, Celestial is a must-visit."

"Celestial Beerworks believes that beer should be consumed in its freshest state. They have a heavy focus on the hop-forward, approachable, complex styles. While they enjoy brewing all styles of beer, they do have a borderline unhealthy obsession with hops."

"Dallas’s Bishop Arts District is home to eclectic boutiques, trendy eateries, charming galleries, and the loveliest cidery tasting room in town: Bishop Cider Company. After founders Laura and Joel Malone couldn’t find a decent commercially available cider in Texas, they decided to take matters into their own hands, and Bishop Cider was born. This friendly spot churns out locally-made cider that’s crafted without additional sugars; the current lineup features exciting flavors like Blood Orange, Mango Habanero, and Apple Pineapple."

"Ok, I know you came here for Dallas craft beer and I’m starting off talking about cider. But when it’s still kinda of early in the day, cider is a great place to start. Bishop Cider is tucked away into a small tasting room in the Bishop Arts District."

"Whether you’re a big fan of boozy cider or you’re someone who doesn’t like the options from the larger cideries of the world, Bishop is a great place to explore some interesting options, like their black currant cider or pecan pie cider."

"Opened in 2014, this Design District brewery is veteran and family-owned. It was the first brewery and tap room to be built from the ground up in the City of Dallas since the late 1800s. Texas Ale is known for the Fire Ant Funeral amber ale and 50 Ft Jackrabbit IPA. It also has an R&D series with a brand-new rose amour, a crisp ale brewed with raspberry and dragonfruit."

"After Bishop Cider we headed over to the nearby Design District which is packed full of impressive Dallas breweries. First up was Texas Ale Project, which was recommended for it’s gorgeous views of the Dallas Skyline. This was a really great brewery for our group of fellow beer travelers."

"Opened in 2014, Texas Ale Project is another Design District brewery. Their tap room is open Thursday through Sunday, with a variety of worthy beers on offer. Their Fire Ant Funeral amber ale is a marquee offering, though the most exciting offering from the brewery isn’t even out yet."

"Sushi Axiom offers guests succulent sushi and sashimi prepared with the finest ingredients all in a friendly and elegant atmosphere."

"Sake-marinated black cod has the hallmarks of the high-heat robata: soft and tender inside, the skin crisped from the grill. Appetizers include innovations like a silky scallop custard set with gelatin in a scooped orange. And here you’ll find what is perhaps the bestnabeyakiudon in town, the chubby noodles (fat and slippery, a delight to slurp) in a broth flavored with shiitakes and kombu kelp."

"Sushi Robata which is located in North Dallas, is an izakaya style Japanese sushi restaurant. What this basically means is that not only will you find a restaurant, but you’ll also find a bar as well offering many different types of things. It’s a great place to visit especially after work or when you are tired to relax yourself and relieve that stress."

"Grab a sushi boat and get ready to fall in love with Deep Sushi. This Deep Ellum favorite is known for their amazing presentation and equally impressive sushi quality!. Address: 2624 Elm Street"

"Serving everything from delicate margaritas to the rugged age-old cocktails, Rattlesnake bar in the US is exciting, adventurous, and fun. With the indoor ambience being stylish and classy, they also have a terrace that offers an incredible view, and a fun atmosphere to party!. This bar is also known for its food, and their delicious lobster tacos are a must try."

"Both a restaurant and lounge, Steel is a hybrid of Chinese, Indo-Chine, Japanese, and Korean cuisine. Mahogany paneling lines the walls while the floors are Brazilian cherry hardwood, with the soothing appeal of spot-lighting and local artwork as the décor. You can also enjoy the sushi bar and sake in a glassed wine room."

"Steel's sushi restaurant is an upscale lounge that's the perfect happy hour or nightlife stop. The drinks are divine and the sushi menu is as impressive as it is creative."

"If you just got off work downtown and are looking to grab a drink with co-workers, Happiest Hour is your best bet. The large bar features both patio and rooftop seating."
