Akira Back Dallas

There’s a lot of flash on the menu at Michelin-star winner Akra Back, and that makes it one of the most fun sushi experiences in the Metroplex. In addition to trying the traditional sushi, don’t miss Back’s tuna pizza and the AB Tacos with tuna tar tar. If you’re unsure what to order, the mystery box is a fun experience.

A Carrollton strip mall hides this hidden gem destination for inexpensive, fresh fish. The chopped bay scallop rolls never disappoint. The restaurant is beautiful on the inside, which is no surprise since Kadan means “flower bed” in Japanese.

Mr. Sushi

Since 1984, Mr. Sushi has been serving excellent sushi rolls, banging on its big gong, and singing a unique rendition of the Happy Birthday song night after night in Addison. A fan favorite is the restaurant’s Green Mussel Dynamite: green mussels tossed in a spicy sauce, then baked and served in the shell with a squeeze of lemon.

One of the greats is just sitting there in an Irving strip mall. Head in for a serving of sushi with a side of Texas.

Shoyo

Small seatings and exclusivity seem to be the latest trend in Dallas sushi. Shoyo, which is tucked away on Lowest Greenville, offers just that. It offers a tasting menu only at $175 per person — and with a limited 12-person seating, it’s not easy to get in. The meal itself changes based on availability, seasonality, and the whims of a crew of Nobu-trained chefs.
