This place was pretty good! I came with a girlfriend just for drinks, so take my review with a grain of salt if you plan to dine-in for a meal. The ambiance isn't really cute or charming, which is surprising given the area. I think they could make a lot of improvements in terms of the way the restaurant is decorated. I got a cocktail with cucumber and lime flavors, and I enjoyed it, though the huge 4 chucks of cucumber around the rim was a little odd and made it difficult to drink. My friend got their twist on a cosmo, and it was really great. It had a lychee-like flavor that really complemented the cocktail. The service was just standard. They seemed disappointed when we said we were only getting drinks even though it was past 9pm. Overall, I would be open to returning for dinner, but it wasn't a stand-out experience!

Went on a Sunday evening around 7:30 and it was a bit slow. The staff told us we had just missed the rush. The waitstaff was attentive and knowledgeable, helping to narrow down the wide sushi selection. It's a small restaurant, but we were able to be sat by the window, and it was a lovely way to close out the weekend!

There are much better ones to be had. Strong flavor and not the good way.

I really wanted to love this place. It's within walking distance from my place and I do love some sushi. The rolls here are not bad but everything else is. The sodium content is quite high on a lot of things too. Service here needs to be chased down at times. What saved them somewhat is the rainbow roll was tasty and the unagi (my favorite sushi) was soft and delicate.

Katana House Salad

Great spot on Knox for affordable sushi, great sized portion, a full bar, and delicious sake. The sushi roll specials are always my go to with an appetizer of edamame and house salad:) great service, get a reservation, also has a nice little patio on the street! Recommend: Fire roll for spicy tuna lovers, white dragon roll for yellowtail lovers, & katana 101 roll for salmon lovers

happy hour menu

Dropped in for lunch yesterday. Was on my own so I opted to sit at the bar. Staff was very attentive. My water and iced tea glass was always full without me having to ask. I ordered the bento box with an added California roll. Everything was delicious.

really good lunch today. No-chee took great care of us. BTW, I don't think that's how she spells her name, but that is the way it's pronounced. Anyway, she's a great server, even though we haven't been in in a couple of months she remembers who I am and she knows what wine I like. Husband had BilGogi Bento box and I had a sunny roll. Both were excellent.

This was delicious! I got one roll and it was plenty of food for me. The ambiance was perfect for a chilly day and I would definitely go again.

Avocado eggroll

Stopped by here to grab a quick snack. We got the avocado egg rolls which were very tasty with the sauce it came with. Also tried the yakisoba noodles which were also flavorful. Overall kind of pricey and decent food. It's a good lunch spot for sure.

I was very excited going into my experience at Little Katana and I am sad to say it was a bit of a let down. Overall our server was great, he gave great recommendations and we were there for a birthday so he made sure it was a special occasion for the group. Our choice of Little Katana was a pretty spontaneous decision and they were able to seat us fairly quickly which was greatly appreciated. The ambiance is as you would expect as you walk past Little Katana on Knox. Nothing too special but nothing bad either. My main issue was with the food and drinks. The food itself was delish but the portion sizes were quite disappointing. My group of three ordered an appetizer to share and 3 separate entrees and we still walked out pretty hungry. In addition, we also ordered drinks and for the price they did not taste well made at all. Our group is usually really not picky with drinks but no one who ordered even got halfway through.

I ordered sushi and a margarita. The sushi was delicious and the margarita was really good. The margarita was mixed very well it was perfect in taste. The service was awesome she was very attentive. Will definitely be back !

Katana 101 Roll

Came here for the first time during lunch and was recommended the seafood stone bowl, because it was the best thing. I didn't think twice I ordered it and never looked back since. The seafood stone bowl is so good, the best part is the crispy rice at the bottom of the bowl. They mix it right in front of you, which is a nice touch, it's so good. The little katana roll is also my favorite, I actually order both when I go. It's a lot of food but I can handle it. Ha. I highly recommend this place and tell them I sent you because they know me . The ambience and service is always great. I've never had a problem.

We had an enjoyable dinner. I went to pay the tab and told our server, Stephen, to add 20% to the tab. Before ever seeing the tab. This was a $126 tip for a meal for 9. $800 bill. As I was paying the tab, Stephen said If I wanted to tip more, he would appreciate it. Stephen turned a great evening and meal into a 2 star review. We will not be back. Thanks Stephen, I would love to hear what you manager things of this BS, but I will not be back to find out.

The food here was INCREDIBLE and well worth the wait. To be transparent, I did wait almost an hour…read morearound dinner time (7pm). The inside is tiny and there isn't even a proper "waiting" area. I've also tried coming here before, and there was also a long wait. I'm glad I decided to stick it out this time. We ordered the Wagyu sushi, Yakitori, Tonkotsu Miso Ramen, and the Tomato Ramen. The Wagyu sushi is torched right in front of you! The Wagyu was incredibly tender and the sauce was delicious. My only *nitpicky* critique is the rice was ever so slightly too moist, but that didn't stop me from inhaling the sushi. Next, the Yakitori was phenomenal. I've never had such tender chicken in my life. There was a nice layer of delicious sauce coating the skewer. Again, just a really nitpicky feedback I have was that I wish the Yakitori had the tiniest bit more char to it, but nevertheless was an incredible bite, and I'd 100% order again in a heartbeat. Onto the ramen - easily hands down one of the best ramen I've had in DFW. The broth is flavorful, and I love the noodles. I'm not sure if they're handmade from scratch, but they had the perfect thickness and chewiness. I also loved generous the portion of cha shu slices. Most other places only give you 1-2 thin slices, but that was not the case here. The pork was tender. The ajitama was solid too, although I prefer more of a soft-boiled egg. While the meat portion is more generous here, the tonkotsu didn't come with many vegetables. A lot of other ramen places I've been to will have corn, fried garlic, etc as default, but those are all additional cost add-ons here. The ramen was delicious without them though but just something to note. We also got the tomato ramen as it's the chef recommendation. The dish is very creative and the execution was great. Personally, I still prefer traditional ramens but it was certainly a nice culinary creation to try. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place and would come here again. Just be aware there may be a wait, and because they're so busy, you do have to proactively flag down staff. However, the staff are still really nice despite all the tasks they're juggling at once.

Overall: 4.6/5 [delivery]…read more This was not a cheap meal but it was one of the best meals we have had delivered. The food was filling and tasted phenomenal. I accidentally mixed up the broth and curry so we essentially ended up with curry ramen, but honestly it was delicious so it worked out. I did not realize the ramen broth is a dashi broth, which is clear instead of cloudy, so I mistook the curry for the ramen broth. Clearly my brain was not working that night but it ended up being a happy accident. One thing to note is that they charge extra for spice levels above level 2 and the price increases with each level. We got level 3 for both items and it was genuinely spicy. You will feel it while eating and definitely after as well. Hinodeya Special ($20.70) + Oni-kara Level 3 ($1) + Naruto ($1.50) + Inari Fried Sweet Tofu ($3) = $26.20: We swapped to spinach noodles which worked really well. The naruto came in 4 big thick slices but did not have much flavor to me. The tofu came in 3 small thin strips that were sweet but I did not think they were worth the add on price. Sukiyaki Curry ($22.42) + Oni-kara Level 3 ($1) + Spicy Pork ($4.50) = $27.92: You can tell this is homemade curry because the color and taste were completely different from the store bought curry roux you typically find elsewhere. It was creamy and made from a pork stock soup which is apparently also used in their ramen. The beef was a bit too fatty for me but I absolutely loved the spicy pork. I loved both items and will 100% be reordering from here. Can not wait to try their other items too.

My family and I had an excellent dining experience at Hinodeya Ramen around the 4th of July. After…read morecruising Trader Joes, we wandered over for lunch and it was truly a remarkable experience. Our server was attentive, provided us menus and the restaurant's decor created a cozy, welcoming atmosphere that transported me back to Okinawa Japan. After traveling abroad, it is especially refreshing to find authentic Japanese cuisine in the United States, and Hinodeya Ramen truly stands out in that regard. We ordered several katsu curry plates, bento boxes for the children, and started with an order of gyoza as an appetizer. The gyoza arrived crisp on the outside with a juicy filling that we demolished within minutes of being placed on the table. The katsu curry arrived as crispy cutlets paired with a thick, curry sauce that was rich and delicious. The chicken bento boxes contained a variety of vegetables, rice and their selection of proteins. Our meal was flavorful, and absolutely delicious. This establishment also brought back memories for my sister and me of our time serving abroad in Okinawa. The rich flavors, the spicy curry, and the authenticity of the cooking made it feel like a small return to Japan. Finding Japanese food that encompasses those flavors is not easy to find, but this restaurant truly delivered. I highly recommend Hinodeya Ramen for anyone looking for an authentic Japanese dining experience in Dallas. It will absolutely be my go-to spot whenever I'm back in the area!

I've seen a lot of mixed reviews regarding Jinghe's quality since their surge in popularity…read more As someone who's been going here for almost 2 years, I haven't been in a while. I made a reservation last month, and I'm pleased to say I still enjoy this place! The quality was still up to par. Granted, I went right before dinner rush, so I didn't have any issues with service. The most noticeable change to me was the pieces of chuutoro are slimmer than what they used to give out. Nigiri did take a bit longer as well, but my server let me know and let us place another order in the meantime I still think this is the best AYCE sushi in DFW, but I would try avoiding peak times for the most optimal experience

High quality cuts at a reasonable price. The toro cuts were great and majority of their nigiris and…read morerolls were very tasty as well. Some of the non sushi sides like the hibachi steak weren't as good as some of the other AYCE places which is the only thing I wish I didn't waste stomach space on. I usually try to order some of these items between rounds of sushi but the steak was extremely tough. The truffle tuna was really good; I want to try the truffle salmon next time. The seared salmon came out a little different than I expected, not bad but not amazing. Wife and I came here for a late lunch and left satisfied enough to skip dinner, so overall it was a pretty solid value to get 2 meals worth in one with a higher quality standard than most options. Service was attentive and relatively quick, maybe because we came at a later time. Would definitely come back!

We opted to sit at the sushi bar so we were able to see all of the action! First, our servers were amazing and made us feel welcomed from when we first entered and left for the night. My only complaint is our sushi chef, who took our orders, wasn't friendly at all. There were a few times I was nervous to ask for more sushi, etc. Other than that, we didn't let it deter our evening. We started out with drinks (cocktails were half off) and I ordered the PurPearl and I didn't care for this drink. I ended up drinking wine for the rest of the night. For food, we ordered a variety of items - softshell crab, yellowtail serrano, spicy tuna roll, wagyu miso roll, aburi trio, and a few nigiri pieces. All of the food was delicious and fresh! We ended with their white chocolate dessert and that was tasty as well. Overall, this is a great spot to check out for happy hour!

We've been here a good 3-4 times now, and we keep coming back because the sushi is just THAT good!…read more Everything tastes super fresh, and their menu is huge, so there's always something new to try. Of course, we have our favorites that we always end up ordering, but honestly, everything on the menu looks so good that we definitely need to branch out next time. It's kind of a cute little hidden gem tucked in amongst the other restaurants on McKinney, so it's easy to miss if you're not looking for it. They have a little outdoor seating area too, which makes it a nice option for lunch or dinner. The staff has always been friendly and attentive when we've gone. Nothing over-the-top, but they get the job done and we're never left waiting around. But honestly, the food is the star here. If you love sushi and haven't tried this spot yet, definitely put it on your list!

I've ordered takeout from here twice now and have really enjoyed the food!…read more So far, I've ordered the Sakura, Baked Salmon, and Volcano rolls as well as salmon sashimi. In addition to what I ordered, they've both times given me salmon nigiri on the house (which is so nice!!). I've loved all of the rolls I've gotten and the baked ones especially have always been topped generously with salmon/crawfish and are really fresh / delicious. The salmon sashimi, although a bit pricey at $20, included 6 very thick pieces that were also filling and fresh. I haven't had torched salmon a lot but the nigiri they gave me on the house was so soft/tender with a slightly smokey flavor - I definitely need to order it for next time. Overall, I've really enjoyed everything I've gotten from here and look forward to trying more of their menu / visiting in person!
