However, the past two times we shared this place with another couple who loves sushi just as much as my husband and I do. One reason we kept coming back, aside from all the delicious food, was how they labeled their menu with the top food allergens. As a food allergy mom, I appreciated this so much! Especially when I was still breastfeeding, I had to eliminate all of my daughter's allergies to breastfeed safely. The main ones I had to look out for was gluten, dairy, egg, nuts, and sesame seeds. The safe was aware of my limitations and shared empathy, not annoyance like other places. T Thankfully I'm out of that stage so I can eat anything on the menu now. We would like to take our daughter here some day, she loves sushi a lot! But being only 5 years old, we'll need to save it for a special occasion. We get carried away when we come here. The food here is top notch and worth every penny, so we'll have to save up. Cooked dishes we always order: Brussel sprouts, steamed mushrooms, hamachi collar and miso cod. All the nigiri/sushi is fresh and you can't ignore the specials or seasonal menu!

My husband found Robata & Sushi EBESU on Instagram, and it immediately caught his eye. We…read moreabsolutely love Japanese cuisine and are always adventurous when it comes to trying new places, especially when they are highly recommended. Having lived in Hawaii, we ate sushi, sashimi, and poke on a regular basis. Finding spots like this allows us to create new memories while also feeling a bit nostalgic for the flavors we love. We might have gone a little overboard, but everything was incredible! We ordered the Crunchy Eel Roll, Hamachi Nigiri, and Tuna Nigiri, along with two of the EBESU Course menus. My husband had the Chirashi Don and I went with the Toro Tekka Don. Love, love, love. As you can see, it was a lot of food, but every single piece was cooked and cut to perfection. The dishes are very easy to share, and I think next time we'll lean into that more so we can sample even more of the menu. If you are looking for authentic, high-quality Japanese food, this is the place to go!

We walked into the restaurant and were told by the host that there was about a 10-minute wait, with…read moreseats available at the bar in the meantime. While waiting in the front lobby, I sat next to a couple while my partner parked the car. The woman complimented my nails, which sparked a friendly conversation. When the host came to seat them, she mentioned having seats next to each other. We assumed she meant bar seats and followed along--only to discover we were being seated at the same table as this couple. Suddenly, we found ourselves dining across from complete strangers, which made for a very awkward experience. We tried to make the best of it, but it just wasn't working. To make matters more confusing, our server assumed we were all one party. The restaurant also would not allow any substitutions on menu items. I ordered a roll and was served something entirely different from what I expected. The service itself was friendly, and everything we ate was fresh. However, nothing stood out as particularly memorable, especially compared to other sushi restaurants in the DFW area. To top it off, we felt rushed out the door at 10:10 p.m., immediately after closing. Overall, the food was fresh and the service was good, but the unusual seating situation, lack of flexibility with the menu, and rushed ending made the experience disappointing.

After we placed our order (a sheet of paper with numbers next to each sashimi/nigiri/roll we wanted), it took at least 5-10 minutes before the counter chefs started preparing our sushi plates. Prices are pretty decent for the quality. All the fish we tried was decent, but my favorite and the standout flavor profile was the black sesame basque cheesecake. Yum.

We had scouted it out online, looking for a ramen place near where we were staying in Plano. Unassuming on the front, the inside is an amazing atmosphere with a vibe straight from a Shinjuku street stall. The wait staff was polite, and very nice. The chef was working away inside the replica street stall. The food arrived quickly, and was delicious! So much flavor! Everything new was somehow even better than the dish we tried before it. So good, so tasty! If we come back for another visit, Yatai is now on our list of restaurants to eat at again!

"Here is the best water in Plano," was an actual phrase I heard from Esther after I sat down and…read morewas greeted. Of course, that prompted me to ask, "What makes it the best water in Plano?" Esther told me they have a great filtration system and that it tastes wonderful. And frankly, I agree! This is very good water. It may sound like a small thing, but I appreciate details like this from a restaurant that takes its service seriously. I started with toro ($39) and Japanese snapper ($20), both in sashimi form. I love snapper, and this was quite good, with proper cuts that were not too thin or too thick and very generous portions. I also asked for fresh wasabi, so that was the only accompaniment I personally added. The snapper was fresh with no fridge burn, something I encounter far too often out in the world. The toro was good, just served slightly too cold for my preference, so I set it aside for a few minutes to warm up while I approached the rest of my substantial order. At one point, my server actually told me I had ordered enough and didn't need any more. She was probably right, however..... Next came the chef's choice sashimi platter ($35): salmon, yellowtail, tuna and escolar/white tuna, four pieces each. Man, I love escolar when it's fresh and properly cut! It has that springy firmness with a light, smooth, slightly buttery taste that just feels right. Yum. Next up were mackerel and eel (unagi) sushi, three pieces each served together. Very different flavors if you're newer to sushi, but I like them both. The mackerel is a little oily with a savory flavor mixed with a punch of vinegar and salt that makes it really interesting. The unagi brings that richer, sweeter contrast. OK, so I'm still eating... I also ordered the Caribbean roll and the Guns N Roses roll. What was I thinking? The Caribbean is a no-rice roll with mango, salmon, tuna, crab and avocado. Delicious, fresh and beautiful. Then came the Guns N Roses, my fresh fish roll, which somehow I still found room for. I had a 300 ml bottle of Horin Junmai Daiginjo ($49) with the meal, and it paired extremely well with my choices. I tend to avoid heavy mayonnaise-based dishes and prefer lighter flavors overall. In other words, I like to taste the fish. Horin is delicate enough that it complements that style of meal without competing with it. If you're ordering more sauce-heavy rolls, the house sake may make more sense. If you're going for the fish experience, though, this is a very good sake. At $49 it isn't inexpensive, so if you want to stay closer to $20 to $30 a bottle, I'd just ask them for the closest alternative. I absolutely recommend Sushi Sakana. Fresh fish, generous portions, good service, and some genuinely memorable dishes. And get extra water. Apparently it's the best in Plano, and I'm not arguing. PS: The restrooms were CLEAN! Such a huge thing for me. :)

The interior was understated, clean and intimate; perfect for date night. Sashimi starts at $1.50 a piece but was $1.95 for salmon, and the pieces were thick and fatty! The pork belly skewers were also so tender, and if we weren't already so stuffed, we would have definitely gotten more. I'd order everything again except for the dynamite roll, which we struggled to finish because of how saucy and heavy it was. Overall a great and satisfying meal open late and not too far from Dallas proper. Will be back!
