Dallas’ 8 Best Omakases — From Established Favorites to Exciting Newcomers

This favorite sushi spot from brothers Brandon Cohanim and Henry Cohanim offers great omakase experiences for lunch and dinner. Executive Chef Kazuhito Mabuchi is a pro when it comes to crafting unique chef-guided experiences such as the 14-course chef-guided nigiri course ($135 per person) and the 17-course signature namokase ($195 per person) for nightly dinner. I’ve never tried so many different kinds of fish in one sitting.

Namo also hosts a special omakase dinner with 20 to 22 courses ($250) once a month on Wednesdays, so make sure to check Instagram for info on those. And, the daily lunch omakase takes place from Wednesday through Sunday and features 12 courses for $75.

For the past 20 years, Nobu Dallas has offered premium sushi at The Crescent in Uptown. Their omakase experience is pretty exclusive. It’s only available Tuesday and Wednesday at 7 pm, and limited to four people per night at the chef’s table.

On a recent visit, we enjoyed an experience led by Chef Mitsuhiro Eguchi. He took us through the 17-course menu while teaching us about the different fish and asking us questions about what we liked and didn’t like. He told us that while the menu remains consistent, he’ll change up things and get more adventurous with the regulars who come into Nobu. Some staples you can expect include the oyster, yellowtail, and caviar nori taco starter, lobster miso soup, a wagyu hand roll, baked crab & masago, and more.

($225 per person)

Two similar 17-course omakase experiences from Los Angeles opened in Dallas around the same time — Sushi | Bar and Sushi by Scratch. Led by Chef Phillip Frankland Lee, Sushi by Scratch opened as a pop-up in a transformed guest room at The Adolphus in 2023. The sushi concept, which likes to operate out of speakeasy-style locations in Healdsburg, Montecito, Austin, Chicago, and beyond, did so well that it became permanent in 2024.

The nigiri tasting lasts about two hours and costs $165 per person. Upon arrival, guests can enjoy a welcome cocktail and canapés in the lounge area 30 minutes prior to seating. The sushi chefs make things fun while also allowing you to learn about what you’re eating. When we dined at Sushi by Scratch, we had the pleasure of watching Chef Lee do his thing. Most bites are topped with creative flavors you don’t normally see at more traditional omakase experiences.

Sushi | Bar offers similar nigiri and creative toppings to the Sushi by Scratch experience (they were founded by the same person, Chef Phillip Frankland Lee), but this omakase offers a slightly different vibe since it’s located in the basement of the Oldsmobile building in Dallas’ East Quarter.

When you enter the check-in space, you’ll see a dimly lit room featuring a 100-year-old car lift platform, weathered cement plaster, and high ceilings with air vents and piping — a nod to the building’s automobile roots. After a welcome cocktail, guests are led downstairs (underground) to the 12-seat sushi bar. All seats look up to the sushi bar, where several chefs spend an hour and a half to two hours presenting a 17-course, nigiri-style sushi experience.

Opened in 2025 at The QUAD in Uptown Dallas, this Japanese-Korean restaurant comes from the owners of New York City’s Domodomo. Chef Brian Kim is actually from Dallas, so it made sense for him to open his new flagship in the city. The new Dallas sister concept offers a Domokase Tasting Menu for $75 per person. What’s different about Domodomo compared to other omakase spots in Dallas is that their menu has a Korean influence. The experience includes five courses ranging from Yukhoe & Taro Chips with Korean-style beef carpaccio to A5 Japanese Miyazaki wagyu to nigiri.

One of Dallas Michelin-starred restaurants, this intimate sushi spot was founded in 2022 by chef Tatsuya Sekiguchi. The edomae-style (where fish is cured, marinated, or aged before being served) spot in Deep Ellum quickly became a favorite for its omakase experience. Two seatings at 5:30 pm and 7:45 pm are available five days a week (Tuesday through Saturday).

For $195 per person, each meal comes with two or three appetizers, 13 to 15 nigiri-style pieces, a hand roll, miso soup, and dessert. You can also pre-purchase beverage pairings for an additional cost. Reservations are released on the 1st and 15th of each month and get booked up quickly, so make sure to set a calendar alert.

A Dallas sushi classic, Austin-based Uchi is still a frontrunner for its 10-course omakase experience. A combination of hot tastings, cool tastings, nigiri, and sushi, the menu often changes. The price also changes based on the day and what will be served seasonally, but can range from $300 to $400 for two people.

You can also opt for the somakase, where the server creates an omakase based on their personal choices. And if you’re not looking for a full omakase (or just a great deal), sister spot Uchiba offers a nine-course tasting for two ($90) during their happy hour.

Former Head Sushi Chef at Uchi Dallas Chef Paul Ko opened this new omakase restaurant in downtown Dallas in 2025. Sushi Kozy was inspired by Ginza, a popular shopping district in Japan, and Ko’s last name. Sushi Kozy was one of the few brand-new restaurants to be Michelin-recommended last year. We even named its omakase experience as one of the 8 Best Dishes We’ve Tried From New Dallas Restaurants in 2025.

Earlier this year, the hot spot named former Georgie chef RJ Yoakum (and James Beard Award Finalist for Emerging Chef in 2025) as Chef de Cuisine.

Sushi Kozy features a 17-course omakase menu for $185 per person, but guests can add on additional à la carte menu items at the end of their experience if they wish.
