First time at Shinobi. It was easy to find, lots of parking and a newer space. Very inviting, clean and cool vibe. Staff were friendly and helpful from the start. First rate service all the way. Food was fantastic. The miso salmon was outstanding. Everything fresh and prepared perfectly. Great food, service and ambiance! Highly recommend.

L6. Yummy Roll

The food is amazing and fresh we tried so many things... shishito peppers, jalapeno poppers, uni, jack sparrow roll, temptation roll, salmon skin roll, and the yummy roll! 10/10 food Only note it's way too bright in here it's like walking into a convenience store a little mood lighting at dinner service would go a long way for ambiance

Great service!Staff was super friendly, Was a bit pricer than similar places. Sushi was fresh and had good flavor. This is a comfortable and intimate date night spot

I love coming to Shinobi, the atmosphere is beautiful, the people are so friendly and helpful in giving advice on what to eat together and how delicious it would be. I also love the food. I come for the yakitori because I can't get it anywhere else. I mean their sushi is good. I've had it too, but the yakitori is definitely my favorite. I love getting the pork belly with the pineapple that is coated. Those are two different dishes, but together there are amazing like a flavor bomb. I love the bacon wrapped around the scallop so amazingly tender together so tasty the bacon wrapped okra is also outstanding. I love the mushrooms. They're so cute how they do a little cross pattern and dipped in the garlic butter is so tasty. You'll have to come and try for yourself... I'm definitely coming back.

Shinobi is a new restaurant that provides good Japanese food! Had a great experience with a big crowd of 15 people. The services were very kind, quick, helpful, and attentive. The interior provided a calm, energetic, aesthetic that resonates with the Japan culture. The food came out very clean, organize, and aesthetically pleasing. The flavor was there and listed at a good price. Definitely worth getting their Bento Box!

Tempura veggies were very tasty, except twice the okra was too tough to eat. Shrimp tempura roll with cream cheese was very good.

If you are wanting some true authentic Japanese food this is the place to go. They have it so properly down that when I closed my eyes the atmosphere alone could have me feel as if I was back home.

Service was great and food was amazing! Everything we tried was great! We will for sure be back.read more

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.

Kisses xoxoxoxo I love this place. My boyfriend said I was over exaggerating about this place but…read moreprofusely apologized after the first bite. I went the day before Thanksgiving and the japanese chef was a one man show. He was the only one running the establishment because everyone else had left to go to Japan for the holiday. He is so so so so nice. I don't go back to restaurants very often but this place has my heart. This time I got the spicy pork ramen (17), spicy garlic chicken ramen (18), and then got the spicy garlic pork ramen (19) togo. I will say it is a little bit salty, with the garlic ones being more salty than the non garlic ones. However the garlic ones do have more flavor. There's not that much meat/protein either just one piece of meat and an egg. The could be slightly better but it's still good. It also just has bamboo shoots but nothing else. A very simple bowl. Ambiance is nice, it feels upscale but also homey at the same time. They have an open kitchen concept which I like.

I got Spicy garlic pork ramen. I liked the broth. It was tasty and not too heavy. The pork was…read moredelicious, but it was buried at the bottom of the bowl and had broken into smaller pieces. I had to dig for it. I know they probably put the meat at the bottom so it'll warm up with the broth, but I prefer it at the top. The egg was whole and cooked so it was a little runny inside, which I liked. I also liked the noodles. Unrelated to the food, I sat on the bench and there was a customer sitting on the bench beside me. She kept shifting around and causing the entire bench to move, which I didn't like.

That was 3 years ago though, and as of recent I came back to this place after a friend suggested we could give it another shot. I must say, while expectations are low, I was far more impressed than I thought. This place is a bit bigger than neighboring ramen spots, and our server was so interactive, funny and friendly. I like that she actually holds a conversation between me and my friend, in terms of sake recommendations, and being honest on what type of noodles she prefers (I asked her if their straight noodles are good or if I should go for the curly, and she gave me her honest opinion on both, so I went for curly.) She was able to also assist my friend in choosing a better appetizer. I love the bigger variety of drink options, from alcohol to boba milk teas. The curly noodles in the Tonkotsu Ramen was awesome, and the meat's so soft and delicious. My only qualm is that the broth to noodles ratio is a little off; too much broth and it's more watery than other broths I've tasted. Nonetheless, my experience back here went well, and I can definitely see myself coming back here with friends.

I wasn't a fan of the red bean fish, but my friend loved them and ate both! We loved the atmosphere and design of the restaurant. We thought the vibe was very bright and lively. Our servers were both great and super helpful. We enjoyed our time greatly.

The only ramen spot in Fort Worth that has authentic, tasty ramen. As a ramen lover and someone…read morewho's been to a lot of ramen places throughout DFW, I must say, Hanabi manages to keep quality up there. It's not my favorite spot, but it's convenient whenever I'm at Fort Worth craving for ramen. I highly recommend this over Wabi House, and certainly over any of the ramen wannabe restaurants throughout Arlington and Euless. The good stuff: whenever I visit, staff was always welcoming, friendly and prompt. Food doesn't take a while to come out, and it's always hot and fresh. Noodles are wavy and thick, and the soup is delicious. Keep in mind their broths taste saltier than other ramen places, but I personally don't mind. The one thing I have qualms with is how they do the meat; the chashu is too chewy for my preferences. Service is always great. I'll be coming back whenever I'm around town.

As a former fan of "all you can eat" buffets, I noticed as I've gotten older, I'm no longer a fan of "all ya can eat", but hangin' out with da fellas is fun. What can I say about Japan House? 1. The restaurant had an extensive sushi menu for all you can eat. 2. Exceptional service! Our waitress was very attentive, she kept checking up on us and placed our food orders quickly. After placing the food order, the food came out quickly. 3. This restaurant was one of the first restaurants that used an electronic robot. The robot machine brought out the simple items, and I even saw the robot sing "Happy Birthday" to a restaurant patron. 4. The restaurant is casual, and pretty dark inside. 5. The sushi quality is about "middle of the road", not the best, but far from bad. What do you expect for all you can eat? Check out my pics..... And if ya gotta ask, YES......all that food pics I took, I actually ate all that food. I swear when I got back to the hotel, I was in total kanak attack (Hawaiian Paralysis). Lol!

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.

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!
