I want to extend a huge shout-out to our waiter, Vivian, for giving us insight on the food and bars/places to check around in Dallas! She went above and beyond :) Miso soup with silky tofu was delicious, they balanced out the yellow miso well with a hint of (maybe) crate-barrelled? For the nigiri I had the fatty tuna, a5 wagyu, and king salmon. They were all absolutely delicious and warped me to Japan. I was reminded of the same quality and taste - which checks out since they import their fish from Japan! The special kome roll was so delicious I ate it very slowly to savor every bite and memory of sushi in Japan. For dessert I had the deep fried cheesecake - I think the last time I had this I was 12 at Mr. sushi in Boston and all my memories came back. Grapes were too big though but everything else A+ The matcha tonic - I can't find it online but it was an incredible balance of fizzy, sweetness and matcha. The complexity of the drink makes me want to try more!

I was the only person in my group that was gluten-free and the staff were so on top of it! Every single dish they brought out, they explained which had gluten in which did not.

Sat at the counter and loved watching the chefs work everything felt intentional and precise. Each piece was beautifully presented and incredibly fresh. The nigiri really stood out: perfectly seasoned rice, melt-in-your-mouth fish, and thoughtful touches that elevated every bite. You can tell there's serious attention to detail. The pacing of the courses was just right, the staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and the whole experience felt relaxed but refined. It's the kind of place where you just settle in and enjoy the craft. Easily one of my favorite sushi experiences in Dallas. I'll definitely be back.

I appreciate that their reservation site provided all the information I needed to make an informed decision (pricing, how it works, etc.). When I checked in I was offered sake but since i'm not drinking they accommodated me with sparkling green tea (which was soooo good). The wait was a bit longer than I expected. I checked in at 7:35 for my 7:45 reservation, we weren't seated until 8:10. The hostess was apologetic about the wait. The restaurant itself is in a basement and it's a typical quaint chef's experience with about 10 seats in an intimate space. I loved the decor and vibe. The staff was very friendly, they all introduced themselves and walked us through how the omakase experience worked. We had a 17 course tasting menu and I enjoyed every bite. Loved that the chefs explained every dish and gave us the origin of the fish. My favorite was the Kanpachi, but everything was delicious and tasted fresh. I had a yummy mocktail and our "spirit guide" let me try a non alcoholic champagne which I loved. After dinner we were led into Ginger's which is a speakeasy next door that I've been to a few times. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this experience. The only thing I would change is the number of seats. I felt cramped.

The maji roll ($18) had a hot tempera that didn't make the fresh fish taste any differently. They gave us chocolates at checkout and had super reasonable tip options.

As i listed to idle conversation with people, everyone seemed to be remarking how good the food was so im sure it wasnt just me. Their all you can east isnt advertised on the menu so i had to ask for it personally but the minute i did they had a sheet ready! You mark down all the things you want. Ill live write out my review as i receive and eat things: 1. Ahi tower is one of the best things ive ever eaten. it brings SO MUCH fish and crab. I really thought it would be mostly rice but nope. GREAT portion and SUPER delicious. will be thinking about it for a while 2. Ninja roll.. AGAIN how is it so good? perfect amount of spicy!! also they somehow made the salmon on top creamy? 3. Yokohoma roll had less flavor than the ninja but it felt fresher! its perfect for when u want fish but not too much flavor 4. Washing roll was surprisingly so good!! everything ive had so far has been FANTASTIC but i normally hate krab. they mixed it in a way that made is actually really yummy?! almost bbqy but idk how to describe it 5. eel avocado roll might be my favorite? it had a LOT of flavor. ill be honest it didnt taste much like EEL but more like whatever sauce they put on it. it wasnt sweet at all which is nice considering eel usually is be warned anything you dont finish will be chard a la carte so make SURE u dont order as much as me because i couldnt finish what i ordered The place itself is cold (which is a big plus for me when im eating) and looks like a family spot. idk how to describe it but you can just tell its a couple familys go to sushi place. theres tons of parking outside too! They also have a spot for you to sit on the sushi bar to watch the chefs cook! it was really cool and i even saw a couple people request to be sat there Everyone was so sweet and attentive i loved it :)

There are plenty of good choices on the menu (the mushroom risotto is excellent, which shows the breadth and scope of this Japanese restaurant). Again, the wait staff here is very attentive, always checking in and refilling our water or clearing our dishes. In particular, our waitress Lynn is amazing and made us feel right at home. She knows the menu inside out and had recommendations ready for us when we inquired (sake, appetizers, rolls). On top of that, she is very friendly and kind, which added to our positive dining experience. If I were starting a restaurant, I would hire all of my wait staff to be similar to Lynn in character, charm, work ethic, and customer-centric focus. For dessert, Lynn recommended the ube cake -- it was one of the best desserts I've had in a long time. Five stars overall for Nikko for the delicious food, festive ambience, and ease of parking.

I didn't have a reservation & I was hoping I can slide into a seat at the sushi bar. When I arrived I was greeted by Vivian, she was so sweet & welcoming. I instantly knew by her hospitality that if she wasn't able to seat me, I would come back. She was able to get me on a short wait until a seat opened at the sushi bar. I was more than happy to wait, I was offered a beverage while I waited but opted for just water tonight. The manager Alexander came back to see if I needed anything while I waited for my seat. I was seated at the sushi bar & greeted by my server. Her name was Sayaka. She has such a warm smile & energy about her. She explained the menu since it was my first time. Then I proceeded to order, I ordered a handful of nigiri's. My sushi chef was Joseph! He was so friendly, knowledgeable and made other great suggestions aside from what I ordered. Thank you chef Joseph for using his expertise to absolutely WOW ME @ the quality of the fish. The simplicity of what quality of fish & experience will make you feel. From beginning to end, my dining experience was exceptional. I am quite particular when it comes to sushi, but this exceeded my expectations. I'll be back again to visit Namo!

THE VIBE: not really a vibe tbh it was lowkey awkward lol but it's super small. The have a good patio but it was too hot. PRICE: ~$75 for two people WOULD I COME BACK? Yes! **** Overall Rating: 9.5/10 - This is probably my favorite sushi spot ever that is up there with Uchi. The fresh was extremely fresh and so buttery it literally melted in your mouth. I definitely wanna come back for their omakase experience which wasn't too pricey compared to other omakase in Dallas. - Only thing is I don't think I was a fan of the asparagus in the roll but that's a preference. I only docked 0.5 points because it was so awkward inside LOL. The service was nice I think it's just how tight and small it is inside. - I heard good things about their to-go so I might do that or the omakase next time!
