28 nigiris, 2 cold plates, 3 handroll all for $205? All while being fresh fish? 100% worth the price. All the fish were meticulously prepared, flavorful and paired with complementary dressings. One of the reasons for the superb value was coming in during happy hour which run till 7pm. You can find half priced nigiri, specially priced cold plates and other delicacies. We sat at the omakase bar and one of the requirements to sit here was to order an omakase - as the name would suggest. Just an FYI. The chefs and staff were all very kind and the ambience was intimate. Our server took a while to check-in on us. This was slightly problematic when we wanted more ginger, water or the check. She was fine overall. Here's all we got: 2 Seared Truffle Salmon 2 Dozo Omakase 4 Chutoro Nigiri 2 Otoro Nigiri 2 Yellowtail Nigiri 2 Seared Salmon Nigiri 1 Truffle Salmon HR 1 Daku Toro HR 1 Negitoro HR 2 Salmon Belly Nigiri 2 Salmon Nigiri Chutoro and Otoro were top tier, extremely fatty, melt-in-your-mouth delicious! The variations of salmon were our second favorite and some of the best salmon we've had in Dallas. Would recommend. read more

Nice space, lots of seating, lots of parking in the Trinity Groves Plaza Going in, it is not what I had expected. The menu is good, but left with a lot to be desired upon leaving. We ordered the seared salmon belly, chu-toro, chicken karaage, and others. While I felt satiated, I was a tad disappointed in the chu-toro. All in all, decent experience. read more

We came as a big group for the happy hour pricing and it was a blast! The food was great and fresh and tasty. And we (or I, I should say) over ordered. We still ate everything, but didnt quite pay attention to the pricing. So the final bill was quite surprisingly expensive for the quality and the happy hour discount. Friendly servers, clean interior, easy parking read more

I've been hearing a lot of good things about Dozo online so I had to try this omakase out for myself. I came here on Wednesdays during lunchtime and ordered the dozo omakase. Sitting at the bar, I was served each piece of nigiri sequentially. The chef was extremely friendly and knowledgeable, explaining to me what each piece was and the origin of the fish. Each piece was extremely delicious, starting and ending with a piece topped with lemon zest. I highly recommend trying this omakase out for yourself. read more

We came here for my husband's birthday, and this was such a wonderful place! Every from the service to the food was absolutely Chef's Kiss! Although it was a Thursday evening, I made a reservation... just in case and luckily for us we practically had the whole restaurant to ourselves. We enjoy doing an omakase experience, so this was right up our alley. It was happy hour, so we ordered a few small plates of the Spicy Crispy Tuna Rice and the Yellowtail Carpaccio. Everything was great, the fish was fresh and light and they were great choices to start with before our 7 course omakase. We decided on the the 7 piece Nigiri and I guess we also got an extra Chef's choice. Every single piece of fish was beautiful crafter by the chef, and they were some of the freshest pieces of sushi that we've had! Not one piece disappointed us, and we can't wait to be back! read more

The ONE thing that stuck out with me about Dozo was THE FISH WAS COLD! I've been to Dozo twice and each time the fish was cold... and because of that, there was no taste. I don't know if this is what they're going for or they didn't get the chance to "thaw" the fish out correctly but it's not a good thing. Sushi fish is supposed to be at least room temperature. It's weird because their togo location doesn't seem to have this issue. You do get big pieces at Dozo so that's a good thing. But I rather have quality over quantity. read more

First time here and the food was amazing! We did the Dozo Classic Omakase that came with 7 different selections of nigiri the chef selects. The quality of the fish is top knotty! This will become my go to sushi in Dallas and the price is really reasonable for the quality. The service is very attentive and really fun getting to sit at the sushi bar seeing them work diligently to craft the perfect piece for you. They season all items for you so no need for soy sauce or anything else. They have many specials and variety of fish so you can try something new and one of your favorites. The restaurant is in the heart of the bustling Trinity Groves but as soon as you step inside you are transported to a Tokyo sushi bar! Will definitely be back to try more treats. read more

Dozo Omakase and Handroll - Hamachi carpaccio, hamachi nigiri, bluefin tuna nigiri - Sushi Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

We tried the $120 15-piece omakase at Dozo, and overall, it was an excellent experience. Fourteen out of fifteen dishes were absolutely amazing; fresh, beautifully prepared, and thoughtfully presented. You can tell the chef puts care and creativity into each piece. The only real letdown was the dessert: a little matcha fruit jar that was, honestly, mediocre at best. The atmosphere was great...simple, quiet, and relaxed. We went on a Wednesday, and it was just us and two other couples, which made the whole experience feel intimate and unhurried. The service was wonderful. The chef preparing the omakase was engaging and friendly, offering stories about each dish and even surprising us with a few extra tastings. The waitstaff were polite and attentive, though the sake pairing left something to be desired. It's marketed as a pairing, but the three sakes didn't really complement the omakase courses....they felt more like individual selections than a cohesive match. On their own, each sake was fine, but calling it a "pairing" was a stretch. All in all, Dozo delivers a top-notch omakase experience ... fantastic food, great service, and a calm, elegant setting. Just skip the dessert and maybe order your sake à la carte. read more

The place is clean and has plenty of seating. The service is polite and steady. The sushi deal is fantastic. We had the 7 course omakase and it was a nice lunch. The salmon and yellow tail were great. I was not a fan of the tempura emoki- just too fried for me. However, I will come back and try more things. read more

Visited Dozo for the omakase. Great quality fish and seafood for the price. The sushi chef knows what he is doing. My reservation was for 5pm and I pretty much had the place to myself. They were polite and asked if I had omakase before, they explained other things and how they worked. Great variety of fish, very fresh. Great texture and flavor. Fyi they do use truffle and truffle oil on some of their items. The fish was so good, it really did not need the truffle. I added on kanpachi and uni/ikura and matcha strawberry dessert. Everything tasted delicious. Getting the dessert out of the little mason jar was awkward. If I lived in Dallas, I would return. read more

Dozo was one of those rare meals where everything just worked. We grabbed a few appetizers and the $42 omakase, and every bite felt like someone turned the flavor saturation up to max. Bright, vibrant, fresh, and unapologetically delicious. Service was fantastic. The staff kept things light and fun with easy conversation, the kind that makes you feel like you're in on a secret even though you're just eating raw fish. The pacing was spot on too. No rush, no awkward waiting, just a perfect flow from one dish to the next. Final verdict: Amazing flavors, flawless timing, and service that makes you want to high-five your server on the way out. Easily one of the best dining experiences I've had in a while. read more

Dozo Omakase and Handroll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Great new place in Trinity Grove for a finesse experience of omakase. I'd recommend the premium omakase since it would be a pretty solid meal with fifteen courses. You can of course add to it via a la carte menu. You can also fill up pretty well by combining a smaller omakase with handroll combo. The quality of the sashimi is top tier and you get a very good variety of fish. The bar setting is a fun and interactive way to enjoy your meal. The staff is very attentive to us and everything is done with greatest attention to detail. read more

Came to Dozo Omakase & Hand Roll on a Saturday night--glad we made reservations since the space is small. You're seated directly in front of the sushi chef, who prepares each roll for you throughout the meal, which adds a personal and engaging touch. If you're a fan of raw sushi, this place is a great pick. They offer several omakase options--we went with the 15-course roll meal. It may sound like a lot, but it's just one piece per course, so it's more about variety than quantity. You get to sample a wide range of raw seafood, and the meal wraps up with a Japanese-style dessert. The reason for the 4 stars is that the experience lacked a bit of guidance. The chef didn't really explain anything--no suggestions on whether to use chopsticks or your hands, or even what you were being served at times. If I hadn't come with my date, who's familiar with this style of Japanese dining, I honestly wouldn't have known what to do. Still, it's a unique and worthwhile experience if you enjoy raw sushi and are open to a more hands-off, traditional omakase format read more

The happy hour at this place can't be beat. From 5-7pm majority of the nigiri is between $3-$8. The servers were extremely attentative, but I was surprised this place was not busy. My favorite thing was the scallop trio, but everything I tried was amazing. Will most definitely be back! read more

Sean (Head Chef) was pleasant and knowledgeable about what he served for each course in our Dozo Omakase.

Food was great and proportioned well for the price point. However, the front staff seemed uncoordinated and slow to respond. Drinks, think like a basic canned beer, came out after 15 minutes after food had started being served and that was only when we reminded our waitress. The onigiri's taste was phenomenal and experience was great. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch here last week. I love that chef Ron and his wife were able to open this place. I have yet to go to their Dozo Togo location in Richardson; but when I saw this place was a sit down I immediately made reservations. This place is actually a really large space. It's dimly lit, definitely has a vibe and the staff is nice. They've only been open a month, and for being brand new they seem to have their system going. I did come for lunch and not dinner; so I imagine dinner is more busy. My stars are for food alone. The quality of their fish is very good; their uni is delicious. I love the fact that the experience is an intimate one to the fact that you have a designated chef in front of you at all times. Service was great; menu options were great. Price point was really great for Dallas and the quality. Portions on some things were off here and there; but I'm sure they're still working things out. My friend and I literally ordered the whole menu to try. We started off with the shishito peppers, tako wasabi, madai carpaccio, miso soup, and the crispy rice spicy tuna. The peppers were very nice; with a light breading. Portion was hefty of this one. The madai carpaccio was delicious, everything was perfect with this dish. Soup was tasty. Tako wasabi is one of my favorites and it did not disappoint here. The crispy rice spicy tuna was tasty, however in my opinion they could've been a smidge bigger or they could've served it in even counts vs odd. When ever I'm with someone I don't like when it comes with an odd amount because the split isn't even. For that price 4 pieces would've been better. But still a tasty dish. We each did the Dozo omakase and then ordered 12 other nigiris and then 4 hand rolls. Ikura, kanpachi, truffle salmon and spicy scallop. All the nigiri was top notch and I just didn't want it to end. The hand rolls were yummy, the truffle salmon being my favorite; only complaint I have on those were I felt they were very skinny compared to other places. Not saying fill it up with rice; but it definitely wasn't full to were the nori was sliding and it just didn't look as good as everything else presentation wise. Taste here is great! My only two other things I wasn't a fan of was the dimness of the place; if you read my reviews I'm not a fan of dark restaurants; I want to see my food and the bar stools at the sushi bar are a too short. The chairs were comfy; but the height was awkward for my friend and I while eating. I'm 5'7 and sitting at the sushi bar in this chair had me at a height where I could just shovel the food to my mouth. I was too low in that chair. The food here though is worth it. Definitely give it a go! read more

I just scanned through the 4 other reviews and I would agree with the only non 5 star review that the service was a bit annoying, server rushing to take orders when there's 2 couples in the whole restaurant for our 5 pm seating, after we ordered everything he stopped coming around, the chef had to call him over a couple of times to take our added on items order or to refill my water cup that's been sitting empty. For me, I won't let one server knock my overall opinion of the restaurant , because the rest of our experience was lovely. The chef was attentive and friendly, the star of the show was the fish, every bite was delicious and I rarely experience that in Dallas. Will definitely be coming back! read more

After visiting Japan, I didn't think I'd find another sushi restaurant that would be as satisfying after returning to the states, but Dozo was so good! I wanted an omakase experience to celebrate Valentine's Day with my partner and was anxious about booking with Dozo because they recently opened at the beginning of the year and we've never been, but I am so happy we gave them a chance! The fish was fresh, high quality and we were pleasantly surprised with each course. We were running a little late due to traffic, but Dozo was so accommodating and still let us enjoy the appetizer and complimentary champagne. The place was dimly lit, but warm and inviting! It was an unforgettable experience and we can't wait to visit again! Besides the fish, the matcha panacotta was really good. read more

This is a dimly lit/quiet restaurant, perfect for a romantic date. I sat at the bar and ordered the handroll set, and absolutely fell in love. The snow crab handroll (which the chef happily told us was real and not imitation meat) was beyond amazing. The sever was attentive, and multiple people checked on us during our meal, including the chef who was making food in front of us. I got to witness him creating items for other guests which included gold flakes, caviar, etc. I appreciate that there are a range of options so diners don't have to break the bank for great sushi. I will definitely be back. read more

More expensive than most places for hand rolls. $32 for 5. The main problem is that all the rolls have a vinegary undertone which I do not like.

Best sushi I've had in TX. The experience was delightful, the chef was so nice and I learned a couple things. But back to the sushi, omg perfect buttery melts in your mouth fish. They do need better music, the vibe just wasn't there. But the reason for not giving them five stars is because the servers are rushing you to place your order and it wasn't even 10 min after we finished our last roll before he came over to charge us. Service from beginning to end felt like a transaction, with the exception of the chef. read more
