4-6pm is happy hour. Drinks and a few basic rolls (outside or bar) I did not participate in Happy hour but feel like most people will be looking for that Menu online, the photos folks have posted and what's listed in their wall inside are not accurate for rolls available ... however... great menu. Great sushi. Rolls are smaller but delicious. Dumplings were cold but had potential.. idk about wagyu but the sauce was high quality. Cute spot, patio seating. I think they were training staff possibly the bartender was my server even though in main dining so it took forever in between order, food delivery, and trying to leave. When I asked another gal for the check she seemed annoyed and I still waited another 10-15 minutes for the bartender who at this point for happy hour was slammed. Overall food was decent, experience wasn't great. Would try again if shopping but wouldn't go back just for the foods read more

I first went to Anchor Sushi Bar on April 2nd and I've already been back two more times since then -- which honestly says everything. It's always busy for a reason. The food, cocktails, wine, and service have all been consistently excellent every visit. The Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice is absolutely elite and one of the best things on the menu. I've also loved the Crispy Chicken Bao Buns and the sushi rolls have been incredibly fresh every time. The cocktails are great (their martinis are especially good), and the wine list pairs really well with the menu. The atmosphere feels lively and upscale without being stuffy, and even when it's packed the service has been attentive and efficient. It's quickly become one of my favorite spots on Knox for sushi, drinks, and a fun week night out. Highly recommend making a reservation because this place stays busy. read more

A cute little fun spot for happy hour. Definitely need to make a reservation since the spot is pretty small. Cute patio seating with good service. The happy hour drink menu is pretty good. Our favorite was the lychee martini. The food overall is ok. The best thing was the Brussels sprouts and edamame. The crispy tuna rice wasn't crispy... but the tuna wasn't fishy so I guess that's a plus. Everything else was decent, no real wow factor. Overall food is 3.5/5 but with the vibe factor 4/5 Would come back with friends! read more

I have heard great things about Anchor Sushi Bar's happy hour & finally had time to stop in and check it out for myself. First, they have happy hour every day (weekends included) 4-6pm at the bar & on the patio. The patio was packed when we arrived but we had no problem finding a spot at the bar. Our bartenders were quick to serve us and offered great recommendations. We sampled the spicy California roll, the shrimp tempura roll, edamame, and pork dumplings. My favorite was the spicy California roll. It was so good that I didn't even get a picture of it before we scarfed it down! I also had a lychee martini. It was so delicious and "tasted like spring". I haven't stopped thinking about that martini since we left! read more

Anchor yourself to something stable because this place will have you spilling your guts. Fish spoilage for sure. Disgusting. This was the second and last time I have ordered from Anchor Bar. I don't think their fish is sushi grade. I had to spit out two rolls because the fish tasted spoiled and old. Not to mention it's expensive as hell. I want my money back. And I want to know where this fish was from and how long it had been sitting. This experience really pissed me off. If you want salmonella or food poisoning, this is your place! If you want good sushi, go anywhere else. Oishi is the best. read more

The girls and I headed here for happy hour on Friday...and everything was perfect! We enjoyed the patio, even though it was a summer day in the middle of Dallas. The misting fans were perfect and cooled everything off well. We ordered a few happy hour apps (1/2 off) and each got a few beverages...of course we had to have diet cokes. Our service staff was great - all knowledgeable and kind (even though a few food runners tried to deliver food to the wrong table). We'll be back...no doubt about it!! read more

Thought it was pretty good. It's a tiny little restaurant and tiny patio. I made a reservation and they accidentally marked it as a different party- so they got my table inside and we had to either wait 20 minutes or just sit outside. So we sat outside. The staff were all super nice and apologetic about it all. The sushi itself was really good! I got the Sweet and Spicy Roll, and Golden Mango roll (sadly not photoed). read more

The service was outstanding. The sushi was good. We ordered multiple items.the crispy rice was best.

I had never been to Anchor and boy was I missing out. Their sushi & drinks are delicious! It is a smaller restaurant with a lively vibe. It can get packed but they also have a little patio too. They have a great happy hour with good food & drink options. Service was terrific and we went on a weekend night. On weekends I would recommend making reservations. If you like martinis you won't be disappointed. They have a great martini menu- try the Lychee Martini ! My favorite menu items were the Wagyu dumplings, tuna crispy rice! Ended up ordering more of both! read more

Welcoming spot with indoor and outdoor seating. Service was excellent and the restaurant works together to provide you with an unforgettable experience. Your tastebuds will thank you, try everything! The lychee martini will be a staple! I loved how fresh the sushi was and the presentation. Great spot in Knox! read more

Had a Valentine's dinner reservation, we're seated quickly outside. The seats were still wet from the torrential downpour but we dried them off and kept chugging along. We got the Pear Martini and the Hibiscus Margarita, both were delicious. To eat, we got the Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice to start, which was fantastic. Then the Hamachi Crudo, which was my favorite bite of the night. We got an assortment of nigiri, a few rolls, and the Brussel sprouts, which were very hot but very good. The Anchor Roll was great, the Chef's Pressed Roll could be skipped. The food took a while to come out but that is to be expected with a holiday dinner reservation. Our waiter, Omar, took very good care of us, and we will definitely be back to try their happy hour. read more

We had a great time at Anchor Bar. We started off with the Edamame which was well seasoned and tasted great. We then got the crispy chicken bao buns which were my favorite part of the meal. The glaze on the chicken was incredible. Next, we got two speciality rolls- the baked crab and the best roll. Both were excellent and I would recommend them again. Lastly, the ambiance was good inside the restaurant and their outdoor patio will be perfect for cooler weather. Overall, we would definitely come back here. read more

One of favorite places until our most recent experience. The bartender (white guy brunette hair) was very non attentive...almost dismissive and rude. It ruined the entire experience. read more

Waited 45 minutes for order. Waiter rarely stopped by to check in as we waited for food. Water glasses completely empty, had to ask hostess for refill. Most of the patio only had drinks. Food trickled out as slowly as water drip dropping from a slow leak. Waiter told us the kitchen can only move as fast as they can. I mean...what. This is basic restaurant operations. For a lunch that costs $150 for 4 people with no alcohol, I would expect a bit more in a dining experience. read more

The Anchor Sushi Bar is a beautifully upscale nautical experience with the food quality to match. This menu Cascades from one of a kind Sushi to fresh sashimi to actual hamburgers and such. As you keep going down this menu is where things get interesting. Continuing in their expansive, Asian flavored items would be The Anchor Roll, the zesty fried rice, Sweet and Sour Brussels and house specials such as Thai noodle steak salad, Chicken Wonton salad. Sweet & Sour Brussels are so very nice and pack an unexpected punch. The art ranges from taught culture to entirely in Japanese posters from James Bond, to Sophia Loren and even Steve McQueen. I love it and happy to spend more time at this bar and enjoy the vibe that this spot has curated. Our server was Hannah and was so kind and welcoming and we appreciated her knowing this menu inside and out and curating a perfect afternoon meal for us both! read more

Outstanding sushi! Service is excellent as well. My only issue why I did not give it five stars is all red wine is refrigerated!! Are you kidding me? In all of my years this is the first restaurant serving Pinot Noir at 37 degrees vs. 62 degrees. Inexcusable. read more

Food was ok but everything that was good was a riff off of a different restaurant (hamachi ponzu was their Uchi's hama chili but not as good). Very slow service. Restaurant appeared empty - maybe 7-8 parties yet still incredibly slow inattentive service read more

Crispy rice and brussels were tasty. Edamame was gross. It had a spice on it that numbed my tongue. Miso soup was good, as well as lychee and pear martini. My friends liked the anchor roll but didn't like the sunset as much. Overall food was 3/5. Service was ok but they messed up our bill. Told us it was happy hour but charged us full price. If we wouldn't have double checked we wouldn't have gotten happy hour price. Patio was a great vibe. read more

If you come here ask for Landon, he's 10/10!! The hostess, not so much...waited 25 minutes past our reservation to sit us and then kicked us out. The 3 is because the food was pretty mid and overpriced; the crispy tuna is never consistent, the rice was stale this time and it was like eating cardboard. read more

I am beyond disappointed by the way we were treated last night at Anchor Sushi. We waited an hour and a half for a table. I clearly told your front desk staff to text me when our table was ready and explicitly gave permission to do so. Instead, I received a call at 6:39 p.m. -- no voicemail was left. I returned the call at 6:41 p.m., just two minutes later, while walking back from the parking lot, only to be told -- bluntly -- "Oh, you opted out of texts, so I gave your table away." That statement is not only inaccurate, it is unacceptable. I did not opt out of texts. I specifically requested one. In what world does a restaurant refuse to hold a table for even five minutes after a 90-minute wait? Two minutes. That's all it took for your staff to decide our time meant nothing. We are Knox Street residents. We dine with you weekly. We have known Johan and supported Anchor Sushi since its inception. Loyalty, apparently, counts for very little at your front desk. What disturbed me most was not just the decision -- it was the attitude. Hospitality means giving guests the benefit of the doubt, especially long-standing patrons. Instead, we were dismissed without hesitation. This experience was embarrassing, frustrating, and frankly painful coming from a place we've supported for years. I hope this is not the standard you intend to represent your brand. read more

6 months later I was finally able to visit in person. Cute corner location. The inside is dark and cozy. Reminiscent of maybe a boat house. I'm not sure if something happened before I came but the staff seemed to be stressed. No one really smiled. Just all going through the motions. My server seemed to be new. Not very knowledgeable about the menu but she was polite and attentive and showed a lot of effort. Now onto the food.... Tuna crispy rice 3/10 - this app has 3 pieces. The tuna was extreme soft. Seemed to be minced but hard to tell. There were far too many sauces and too much on this app. You couldn't really taste the fish. Crispy chicken bao 5/10 - the chicken was crispy, tempura fried. Texture and look was more beer battered than tempura but the taste was ok. Uni nigiri 0/10 - Uni had no texture. It was extremely soft almost melted and had heavy fish/metal after taste. I told the server and they removed the dish. Shoyu pork ramen 0/10 - the broth was mildly flavored. The noodles had an off gummy texture that stuck to our teeth. We expected pork belly or sliced fresh pork but instead received a cut up patty as the pork that also had no flavor. Toro sashimi 0/10 - the toro placed in front of me was not fresh/quality. It was spongy and greyish brown. I didn't taste it. The manager removed it and insisted the fish was cut fresh to order although it was spongy and brown. I was extremely disappointed in the quality of food and my overall visit. Although I had a previous a good experience I wouldn't visit a 3rd time. read more

Ah, the Vandelay Hospitality Group... building facsimile's of the restaurants originally created by the Hillstone Group. Though I can't blame them, Hillstone definitely sets the standard. Brentwood is ok, as is Hudson House. One thing Vandelay can't seem to match is the level of service their servers provide. Anchor Sushi just completely misses the mark. The cocktails were great and the restaurant itself is beautiful, but the service was slow and the sushi was just... fine. I dunno. Blah. The Knox Roll is supposed to have some seared salmon on top, but the salmon on ours was barely kissed by any type of heating element. The Thai Tuna roll, having been told that it's basically the Thai Tuna roll R&D used to carry was pretty bland. I'm glad I finally got to try this place. It was still a successful date night for my wife and I, but we left quite disappointed in the food. read more

We got drawn to this restaurant because of their well-known crispy rice appetizer! The restaurant is located in the Knox-Henderson area, they have both outdoor and indoor seating (incl. bar). It can definitely get busy so plan ahead or you can try to get bar seating. We tried the lychee martini, which they're famous for, and Okinawa sour cocktail. The drinks were excellent, pair perfectly with our sushi orders. We obv ordered the crispy rice, which was really good, great for sharing. Also ordered the Chef's Pressed roll. Love the wasabi cream dressing. Overall it was a great snack, would love to return to try more dishes! read more

A very scene-y place to be at the corner in Knox Henderson area. cute outdoor patio and has a few seats inside and bar seating available. We came on a Friday night and it ended up being fairly busy with an hour and a half wait to sit outside or inside at a table so we opted for the bar instead. They do have a happy hour from 4-6 pm for half price martinis and crispy rice. We ordered the crunchy rice which was delicious and comes with 3 pieces. We also ordered 2 martinis which were delicious. Would definitely come back to grab a drink and a bite or two! read more

This is simply disgusting and wildly overpriced. HEB sushi puts this to shame. Sushi aside the French fries are great.

Such good sushi and love the vibes! Tons of outdoor seating and a cute bar inside. The menu is pretty limited but everything we had was so good. Their mochi desserts really were the standout. The strawberry was a crowd favorite. read more

Ok, so I thought this was just going to be Hudson House with a more nautical theme but I was happily proven otherwise. Knowing the Knox location didn't take reservations we showed up at 7:30 on Saturday evening and found an hour and a half wait for a table. Fortunately, two seats quickly opened at the bar and we chose to eat there instead. I love a good bar, and this was cozy and inviting. The two bartenders waiting on us were the stars. They were both super attentive and were on their game making drinks non stop all night. I could have definitely enjoyed a third martini they were so good (although strong so perhaps wouldn't have been a good move!) The food was excellent. The bartenders did let us know the delay in the sushi order at the time we ordered so that was no problem. The pork dumplings were fabulous and hot. I wish I had been hungrier because a couple other dishes looked very enticing on the menu. Oh well, guess it will deserve another visit! read more

Sadly disappointed with the food. Have heard pretty split reviews on this place and as someone who is far from picky about my sushi (love everything from grocery store sushi to Nobu) I was shocked at how unpleasant it was and underwhelming for the price. Specially the tuna was borderline inedible because of how fishy it was. Ordered The Best Roll and the Anchor roll (both of which had tuna) and had to literally scrape the tuna off. Service was pleasant as I was just picking up. Vibes were decent and would love to go eat on the patio but after trying it I won't be back. read more

Went here last night. Dallas has such an incredible sushi scene, would not put this place on the list. Food was cold and everything was just "okay" except for the wagyu potstickers. Those were incredible. Also took a while for everything to come out. Giving the benefit of the doubt though. They seemed slammed with take out orders and allegedly the kitchen was understaffed. Our waiter was great so no complaints there. Just think the for the money, there are countless spots in Dallas that offer better quality. I do see how the vibe and aesthetic here is enjoyable though. read more

Opted for outside seating, it was nice out so it was comfortable. Server was super sweet, Macy I think was her name. Attentive, friendly, and gave great recommendations. All the food we tried was delicious! We got several starters and shared at the table along with a selection of rolls, more of a family style setting. Great way to try multiple things at once. Recommend this spot for date night, girls night, or just a quick dinner. The menu is small but try all the selections are great! The drink menu didn't miss either , Espresso Martini & Lemon Drop Martini both great options. Restaurant is located on the corner with parking right behind. There was ample parking at no charge. The kitchen does close at roughly 10( on the wknd) so plan accordingly. read more

I live right around the corner and try to come to as many happy hours as possible. The food, waitstaff/bartenders and ambiance are all top notch. I've tried just about everything on the menu and have had no complaints.

Bad communication from the 2 girls at the hostess stand. They originally told us we would be seated right away and then proceeded to put us on a waitlist after we gave our phone number; they sat a walk in party and when I went to ask why they were seated before us, they said they didn't know I wanted first available. I had told them inside table... Another party told me they made a res for 30 min before and they were told they would have to wait with no sympathy. The servers and bartenders were great as always though. read more

So disappointed in the menu change. Even the staff acknowledges that most of their regulars are disappointed. I know there needs to be menu updates, but taking off almost all of the staples is disappointing. I ordered the fried rice and instead of wagyu they offer plain beef - but it was left off my rice. The chef stated he put it in, but there was none to be found. Sad such a staple in our dinner rotation has fallen from its pedestal. read more

As someone who eats out sushi weekly, I can tell when a sushi restaurant isn't authentic and is a bit more Americanized. I think they have an easy time attracting customers for happy hour menu, and understandably their appetizers are great. Yet the sushi selection is limited.
