We got the omakase for valentines day dinner and it was so good! I loved the flounder with monkfish liver the best! I also really enjoyed the ocean trout and ochazuke. The chef Jin was so nice and joked around with us and overall added to the experience.
On Sunday night, we decided to finally try Kinzo after a friend recommended it, and we're so glad we did. The place is small and intimate, with a sushi bar in the center where you can watch the chefs prepare everything right in front of you, so I definitely recommend making a reservation. We sat at the sushi bar and ordered the mini omakase (10 courses), and every dish was amazing ... fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. There wasn't a single plate we didn't enjoy. We also met the owner, Chef Leo, who was very friendly and passionate about his sushi. He explained how carefully he selects his ingredients, even the rice, and it really shows in the flavor. You don't even need soy sauce because everything is already perfectly seasoned. The space is warm, modern, and very clean. This will definitely be one of our go to sushi spots from now on. Highly recommend.
It's our second time here and we enjoy it, but toggled between a 3 and a 4 star review. If I could, I'd give it a 3.75 for the following reasons. - The overall quality of their fish is good, but the standout is by far the ocean belly. We were hoping for more items to be stand outs for the price point. - We have tried three cold tastings to date and have only been impressed with Kapache Shiitake. It's worth getting if you're a fan of mushrooms. They brought out that flavor exceptionally well. - There isn't much regarding presentation for these dishes. The name of the dish is announced and the plate is set down. Typically, we see a bit more fanfare in the description of the dish composition or notes from the chef, but that didn't happen here. It's not a huge deal, but it is fairly standard for this type of dining experience. - I appreciate that they ended the meal with a sweet bite. It's thoughtful and allows patrons to try something they may not have selected for themselves.
I had one of the best sushi experiences of my life at this restaurant. The omakase was phenomenal with tremendous flavors and an amazing variety that kept every bite exciting. The service was top notch and made the evening feel truly special. The restaurant is elegantly decorated and the sushi chef was incredibly knowledgeable. While the omakase is certainly pricey, the experience was unforgettable and well worth it. I am so glad I tried it and will remember this meal for a long time.
Had an absolutely amazing experience at the Omakase at Kinzo. Fish was fresh and each bite was creative. Service was wonderful, chefs took the time to chat and explain each bite. Cocktails were made with all fresh ingredients and perfectly balanced. Can't wait to come back!
Fun fact, I found out about Kinzo because Dak Prescott and Leighton Vander Esch of the Dallas Cowboys ate here. Chef Kekoa & Jin do make good a good piece of sushi, albeit sometimes too heavy handed on the citris squeeze The appetizers are also pretty good as well. The environment can get pretty loud since the omakase seatings are not isolated but mixed in with the main dining area. This can make it hard sometimes to hear the chefs describe what it is you're eating.
KinZo Omakase--so glad it's close to home! I've enjoyed it again and again. The service is attentive, the fish incredibly fresh, and the sake stays perfectly chilled in its elegant vessel. It's the perfect spot to celebrate life's special moments or simply enjoy an intimate date night or dinner with loved ones. The new bar and side seating make it even better for hosting a group.
The Food, service & Ambiance was spot on! Fish is always fresh! Omakase is the BEST!! Will always go back! Thanks for a Great Evening!
Is this the best sushi in DFW? I'd say so. I've been to countless sushi spots and this experience was insane. The sushi chef was really nice and made great recommendations for us to try. Please don't skip out on the Akamutsu, wow!!! I cannot wait to come back (literally, I've been dreaming about it).
It feels wrong rating this place so low when my original rating is a 3.75. Unfortunately, yelp doesn't allow decimal point rating. Kinzo undeniably serves good fish. Unfortunately, the preparation of the sushi leaves somewhat more to be desired. I feel particularly bad for the place because the quality of the fish definitely was in line with other great sushi places we've been to. The environment for top tier sushi in the DFW area is just very difficult. Simply having good fish doesn't cut it anymore. Preparation does. Here's what we got: Mini omakase: - [ ] Toro tartare: fresh and very balanced. Served in a beautiful bowl on a plate of ice - [ ] Santemori: yellow tail with gooseberry and raisin , oyster - absolutely delicious. So flavorful with the ponzu sauce, salmon - was alright. Felt it was too sweet for my liking. (left to right) - [ ] Sea bream madai nigiri: had a mint leaf in the nigiri that took away from the madai, ruining the balance. - [ ] Shimaaji (striped jack): slightly citrusy. Liked more than madai - [ ] Blue fine tuna: classic tuna that was the definition of good fish. - [ ] Chinmedai: house special: not the biggest fan. Primary flavors: wasabi and slight miso glaze - [ ] Ocean trout: best out of all the nigiri, but still nothing compared to other sushi restaurants - [ ] Snow crab temaki - [ ] Kamasu: barracuda - we ordered this separately, because we saw chef Jin making it with chilli oil. Unfortunately, when we had the nigiri, we couldn't taste the chilli oil at all. An astute observation my wife had: most of the toppings or enhancements were under the fish and above the bed of rice. Unlike other places where the enhancements are on top of the fish. All-in-all, we wouldn't come back here for sashimi or nigiri, but would visit to try their hot plates which they seem very adept at making.
I really enjoyed our dining experience here at Kinzo! There aren't fancy omakase, sushi restaurants in Frisco area and we always have to drive to downtown Dallas area for fancy quality sushi but Kinzo met our expectations! The server and the sushi chefs were very friendly and nice. The sushi was super fresh & delicious. I like that the sushi bar seating area is larger than most other sushi restaurants, it's the big main spot in the middle when you walk in. If you're looking for high quality, fancy sushi in the suburbs of north dallas, I highly recommend Kinzo! It is on the pricier side compared to other sushi spots in the area but it's comparable to the fancy sushi restaurants in downtown dallas! We'll definitely go back often when we want fresh good quality sushi nearby :)
Atmosphere - well done! As described, intimate, classy, certainly a couple steps above your local sushi joint. Service - nice, not overbearing, but sushi chefs weren't super outgoing or friendly, which I realize is hard to come by, but a real treat when you're sitting at the bar. Food - certainly the best sushi I've had in DFW. Artistic, exacting, perfectly fresh, perfectly presented. Creative. Amazing flavor profiles. Here's the but...and a star removed. Value. I'll spend a ton of money on food (mild embarrassment over that in writing now) but c'mon! My edamame was 1/2 cup, maybe 3/4. Nigiri is priced singly and twice what you normally pay. Maki are tiny, $25. Couldn't you surprise me with good value somewhere!?
Really good sushi. Came for restaurant week so had a tasting and every bite was unique and delicious. Love sushi so also ordered an extra roll and it was delicious too and I was stuffed by the end. Only sad thing is it's so far north from where I live that it's hard to get to but will definitely try to make my way back again read more

Checked out Kinzo for restaurant week and was blown away by how great this place is. The staff were great and paid attention to the tiniest of details. The sushi chefs were great on explaining all the dishes. The place felt like a tiny bit of Japan away from the busy street. The food was so good too, I wish I had pictures of it all but we did the restaurant week menu so it was a lot of courses! I can't wait to come back read more

Kinzo $50 Sunday lunch omakase is a great deal and will give you a glimpse of their $200 standard omakase. Be warned though, it is not going to fill you up at all. My party ordered a la carte to feel satisfied before leaving. $50 is a pretty affordable price for omakase but don't expect too much. read more
Truly, a culinary experience in the middle of nowhere. This place is a hidden gem and every bite here is curated with levels of intricacy. Our server was very knowledgeable and gave great recommendations. The Sakura Masu was a divine bite from their daily specials. The nigiri was on point with buttery otoro that melted away perfectly. We loved the rolls and the crème brûlée dessert was absolute perfection. Highly recommend this place for date night special occasions or perfect sushi. read more

Enjoyed Kinzo very much! We had the mini omakase 14 course, Stan was our sushi chef and he was great! We enjoyed the service and ambiance of the restaurant, we will definitely be returning. The fish is so fresh and is flown in daily from Japan. read more
Best. Sushi. In. Frisco. OK, it's in Little Elm but let's just say it's better than any other sushi restaurants I've had in Frisco as well. We went here on a whim and loved it so much we came back a couple of weeks later for omakase. They have phenomenal cocktails. I let the servers choose for me and they have never disappointed. We tried a variety of hot and cold dishes, sushi and sashimi, and one dessert. Most of the fish were buttery, sweet, and meaty. I didn't care for the flourless chocolate cake. It was too dense like a brownie and too chalky for me. The raspberry sorbet to end the omakase was refreshing. Omakase was fun. 18 dishes for $185. Much better than 10-12 dishes for $250 that Namo offers in Dallas. The sushi chefs were knowledgeable, talkative, and entertaining. Our servers were so awesome because they were attentive and helpful. Show this place some love! read more
We had an amazing experience at Kinzo!! The staff was super friendly and very attentive. We sat at the sushi bar and had the mini omakase. It was all fantastic. We added some oysters, which were the best I've ever had, and would dine here for just those. Forget oyster bars. We also added some eel sushi. I almost always order eel when having sushi, as it's one of my favorites. This eel had a different flavor but we loved it!!! It almost tasted smoked. Every dish the chef prepared for us was perfectly seasoned and flavorful. I loved the uniqueness of each selection. We ordered mochi ice cream and creme brûlée for dessert. They did not disappoint. Kinzo is a must try!!! I will even be ordering take out when in the mood for sushi. read more

Wow. Chef Leo really made an impact on me tonight. Even over a year later, after seeing my review, he took the time to personally reach out to us. He let me know he cared about our experience with him in the "neighborhood"--which is what Kinzo represents to him. We had another Omakase experience. The food, of course, was amazing, and the service was great. Our night was absolutely amazing. The care and concern he showed made us feel truly valued. It was intimate and special. We appreciate the follow-up--it gave us the opportunity to experience what Kinzo was always meant to be. We can't wait to support Chef Leo and follow him in his future endeavors. read more

Cute place. We did the mini Omakase for $95. Fish was fresh as it should.The presentationn was good. The chefs describe each dish that they serve. Since i was allergic to crustaceans, i was served the tartar and it was good. Like with any of our Omakase experience, we are always half full. So, We also ordered the Chilean Sea Bass and the Wagyu beef. Service was good. The ambiance of the restaurant was also good. read more
The food at Kinzo Sushi is honestly amazing--incredibly fresh, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. Everything we ordered tasted great, from the nigiri to the roll and even the edamame. That said... be ready to spend. I was shocked when one piece of nigiri was $11. We spent $55 on just two pieces of nigiri, one roll, and edamame. Definitely on the pricier side, but if you're looking for quality sushi and don't mind the splurge, it's worth a visit. Great spot--just know what you're walking into! super cool vibe , very modern and lots of watching to do when the chefs are right infront of you. read more
Had the mini omakase and added on sweet shrimp, Hokkaido Uni, and matcha crème brûlée.... Everything was very very good! I've been here a couple times and wasn't super impressed but to be fair I sat at a table and I felt the food was a little slow coming out but this time I sat at the bar and will definitely be back! Next up will be the full omakase! read more
Absolutely phenomenal omakase experience! Everything was fresh, insanely delicious, and you can tell that they only used in-season fish! Everything looked gorgeous too and I definitely ate with my eyes. It is a bit pricey but I feel like it's totally worth the money with all the dishes you get. The omakase felt very well rounded and the dish to nigiri ratio + a very delectable dessert really sold me on this place. All the staff were super attentive and I felt like I never had to wait on anything. They have limited seating, so I would suggest you book in advance! read more

My husband and I enjoy dining experiences. We have had many over the years. This is the BEST DINING EXPERIENCE WE HAVE EVER HAD! I have never had nigiri with the rice seasoned so well. No soy sauce on the table....NO PROBLEM! Wow! We had the mini omakase and will be going back for the omikase with 18 courses next time. You can definitely "leave all the details up to" the chef. Every bite of fish was the best sushi I have ever eaten and there was such variety beyond tuna and salmon. Jeremy was our host for the evening, and his knowledge of the dishes was impressive to say the least. We were celebrating my birthday and he offered dessert and we shared the most delicious creme brulee with fresh berries. The chef even gave us a little freebie with flounder topped with housemade sundried tomatoes and pressed olive chip. I really enjoyed how our chef explained each course with such detail and left us so intrigued to learn more about the regions that produced the fish. We enjoyed an organic sparkling sake that was delicate and delicious. I bought two bottles online since to enjoy for New Year's Eve with family. The Sapporo on tap was outstanding. In fact, we will probably just go with draft Sapporo to bring the price down a bit on our next visit. I will just buy that sake and enjoy it at home but you HAVE TO TRY THE SPARKLING SAKE!!! It paired so well with the dishes. The ambiance is that of a very intimate meal. This atmosphere would be conducive to a romantic meal with your love or a nice dinner with friends. Not noisy AT ALL! The presentation, purity, simplicity and freshness of the food is best in class and we cannot wait to revisit this magnificent place! read more

All I can say is WOW!!! My Christmas present from my boyfriend was Omakase from here. This was by far the best dining experience we've ever had. The fish was impeccable, the head chef, Jin, was awesome and very educational, and the servers were great. I cannot recommend this place enough, especially their Omakase experience. The vibe of the restaurant is very intimate and welcoming. You will not be disappointed in any regard. I attached a few photos of the pieces we were served from the 16-course Omakase. read more

If I wanted to stop by and grab a table of 2, would I need to get a reservation? I checked the website and didn't see an option.
I called Kinzo and asked the same question. You have to make a reservation unless you are sitting at the bar. If there is no room at the bar, you are out of luck. They have an above average, excellent, bar staff. Chris the bartender is the best!…
Is there a take out menu? Wife wanted me to bring her some sushi.
Standard menu, you can order anything to go. Missing out on the experience there, but you will get some awesome sushi!!! Recommend the Natsu Maki, best roll on the menu! Decadent.
