    Snow crab nigiri - YUM
    Stephanie T.

    So I could've sworn I left a review for this place the last time we ate there, but I'm honestly glad that I apparently forgot to, because my last visit would not have been rated this highly. There were a few pieces of Nigiri that were gristley and kind of difficult to chew, but tonight they definitely proved themselves worthy of a five star review because every bite I put into my mouth was absolutely phenomenal and melted like butter. The service is consistently on point, it's a very intimate experience and the ambience is relatively quiet and chill. Definitely worth giving it a shot, and if you get there earlier on most weekdays, they have a few specials that are a little less.

    Omakase menu for Jan 3, 2026

    I heard about this place through Fort Worth magazine. They mentioned it had an $85 12-course omakase. I was already sold on that. My wonderful husband asked if I wanted sushi because I think he could tell I was a little sad. Sushi always makes me happy. So I suggested this place. This place does not take reservations so we got there a little before it opened, 4:28pm ish. Thankfully there was no line. We were the first ones there and we got seated immediately in the middle of the bar. This place is counter seating only. I want to say there was only maybe 20-25 seats. It reminded me a lot of a Japanese speakeasy. It was moody and intimate. The only thing kind of lit up were the sushi chefs. We ordered 2 omakases. My husband has a shellfish allergy so they made substitutions for the hotate and the ama ebi. We started off though with miso soup to cleanse our palettes, then moved onto the chef's special handroll (fried fish cake), and kushi katsu which was tempura fried okra and kabocha (squash). The batter was light and didn't overpower the fish cake, okra, or squash. Really good start to the meal. Then our boxes came out. It's such a beautiful presentation. The chef explained each one and in which order to eat them. He said top row from left to right, then bottom row from left to right, and finally middle row, save the middle one for last. The middle one had the most complex flavors because of the uni and the caviar. I couldn't decide on a favorite, it's like choosing your favorite child. I will say though that the daily special sushi (Spanish mackerel) was by far the best mackerel I've had. Husband ordered more because this was his first meal of the day. He ordered the tuna and modai crudos. Both were so flavorful. The tuna was so refreshing with the mint and the coco zu. The modai was buttery and the pear zu really complemented the butteriness really well. He also ordered a 5 piece handroll set, which I didn't taste so I don't have any notes on those. However, because of hubby's shellfish allergy, instead of the scallop, the sushi chef made him a tempura eggplant handroll. Husband was very pleasantly surprised and wasn't expecting that flavor. The sushi chef said it's his personal favorite. Husband's last order was toro, uni, and Wagyu. The three pieces of sushi came out on one plate. The sushi chef told him to eat it in order as I had listed above. Husband described this dish as his "butter dish". Toro melted like butter; uni was like butter; A5 Japanese Wagyu was like meaty butter. We were already talking about who we can take with us to experience this. So we're definitely coming back! This place rivals Hatsuyuki as the best sushi spot in Fort Worth! Parking: there's a parking structure right behind Yoichi. Make sure to validate to get free parking!

    The staff was fabulous and completely welcoming. The chefs were also knowledgeable and gracious the most important part was the fish melted in your mouth and had a great flavor Balance although some of it was not great for my pallet, I can see the perfection and the balance in all the different taste. Oddly they only serve regular Coke no diet soda, but all good Amazing sake selection all in all a great night all bar seating so not so romantic but lovely experience.

    My friend and I happened upon Yoichi unexpectedly, and we were absolutely delighted with our experience. When we entered, we were immediately faced with the bar, and the restaurant was clean, dark, and cozy. We were quickly seated and guided through the ordering process by friendly staff. The miso soup was so delicious, and the brussel sprouts were incredible, I highly recommend ordering them. My handroll combo was $29 for 5 handrolls, and I believe the price was fair for what I received. Both the handrolls and the nigiri tasted very fresh. I can't recommend the salmon belly and red snapper nigiri enough. I'm so happy with all the food we received, and I've already recommended this place to friends in the area.

    I have always said Fort Worth is an untapped market for good sushi. Yoichi is here! I talked to Chef Ian and he told me he didn't want Yoichi to be an omakase only place so he went in the middle with omakase and other a la carte options: handrolls, nigiri pieces, tempura, etc... Yoichi currently does omakase in box style because this is a time saver due to limited seating at the restaurant. This means instead of one piece at a time, they give you a box with 9 items ready to eat. The sushi is good quality and tasty. There are many other options on the menu as well. The decor is very stylish. The seating arrangement gives a very cozy and intimate feel to the diners. You can easily chat with your chef. ** if you like kohada, Chef Won makes one of the best kohada nigiri in DFW **

    Yoichi is a beautiful, intimate sushi spot with only about 24 seats, and I really enjoyed the overall experience here. I ordered the omakase along with the 5 roll handroll combo, and the quality of the fish definitely stood out. Everything tasted fresh, the presentation was very clean and intentional, and I appreciated that they used real wasabi on some of the omakase pieces. The chefs behind the counter were fantastic and clearly passionate about what they do. I was able to walk in on a Saturday evening and get seated right away as a solo diner, which was great. The vibe is quiet, cozy, and feels like a more personal dining experience. Service was good, though I will admit it was not quite as warm or attentive as I expected for the price point. The wait staff felt a bit dry and not particularly engaged, which took just a little away from the experience. Price wise, it did feel slightly on the higher end for what you get, especially when I compare it to Hatsuyuki Handroll Bar, which is still my favorite in the area. That said, Yoichi is still a strong sushi option with great quality ingredients and very good execution. Sushi is my absolute favorite food, and I rarely give less than five stars, so it honestly pains me to say this is a 4 star review. It is really more like a 4.5 if Yelp would allow it. If you love sushi and want an intimate dining experience with fresh ingredients and beautiful presentation, Yoichi is definitely worth trying.

    Triple Wow! Voted one of FW's best new restaurants & on the cover of FW magazine. This place was NOT over-hyped. In the old space of Shinjuku Station (in the the Shinjuku owners sat next to us last night), it has been transformed into a single counter bar where can watch the magic happen and interact with the sushi chefs! Our server did seem a little green and timid, but service was not lacking. Great saki and Japanese whisky menu! Food - 100% get the Omakase! Prepare to have your senses amazed. Visually stunning and flavor to match. Try a daily special (on the board) and a handroll. Run, don't walk and definitely don't wait. This place is special!

    Yoichi is the BEST in fort worth in my humble opinion. Yoichi was absolutely phenomenal from start to finish. Every single detail felt elevated, intentional, and crafted to perfection. The moment I walked in, the atmosphere set the tone--warm, elegant, and refined without trying too hard. The service? Top tier. Attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the food. You can feel the pride in everything they do. And the food... wow. Every dish was a masterpiece--beautifully plated, incredibly fresh, balanced, and bursting with flavor. You can tell the chefs treat their ingredients with respect. Each course felt like its own little journey. Easily some of the best bites I've had anywhere this year. From the ambiance to the cocktails to the final plate, Yoichi delivered excellence with no misses. This is the kind of place you want to return to immediately and bring your favorite people with you.

    Omakase box, everything was exceptional.

    My favorite Korean spot closed last week so I need a new place to spend Tuesdays. I chose Yoichi Omakase because it was near Magnolia Street one of my favorite haunts. Walking through the door of Youchi the staff was extremely welcoming. I was sat at the bar, not sure if there are other seating options, and it was neat watching the chefs prepare their the food. THE FOOD was amazing, buttery melting your mouth perfect flavors, perfect texture I really enjoyed everything put in front of me. Hamichi is my favorite and I believe there were two styles in my omakase box, saved the fatty hamichi with a dollop of caviar wrapped in sesame leaf for last, it was Amazing. I added the daily special Wagyu, and was thrilled at the smokiness and tender bite. Just order it, you'll know what I mean why you try it. I will definitely be back soon. Wishing Yoichi continued success, so I can become a regular.

    I love the food here. The red tuna is similar to Maguro. My mom's favorite is the red snapper, but I actually like the Hamachi and Unagi the best. Also, the snow crab is phenomenal. Pieces are pretty pricey, but it's a better quality of fish. you sit at a countertop and the servers come around to give you drinks from in front of you or to the side of you, the sushi chefs deliver food in front of you. Ambience is modern cute, a lil dark but fun, not too loud.

    Yoichi was such a great surprise. It is unassuming from the outside but the interior is beautiful. But what is most important is that the sushi is absolutely amazing. The service is great. It is an amazing experience.

    Great new spot! Got the omakase and it was delicious. Stellar customer service, intimate setting. I do wish they had iced green tea options! But the yuzu honey hot tea was very good. I'll be back!

    Chefs special hand roll.
    Deno B.

    Finally a world class omakase restaurant in Fort Worth! Yoichi is hands down the best night out you can treat yourself to in all of DFW. The staff is nothing short of a dream team and the service is impeccable. The location has a high class hole in the wall atmosphere and the second you walk in, you know you've discovered something great. On top of all of it, it is very fairly priced. We had the 12 course Omakase and every bite was better than the last. Thank you Chef Ian and Chef Ilwon for a perfect night out, we can't wait to come back soon!

If you've been wanting to try this place, I'd definitely recommend arriving early. Parking was probably the most challenging part of the visit. There was a rummage sale happening nearby, so the area was busier than usual. They do have a designated parking lot, but it's very small and fills up quickly. Most people will likely need to rely on street parking, which took a little patience that day. The restaurant itself is tiny, but that's part of the charm. There's a bar area that seats around 10 to 12 people and only a handful of tables. We were a party of three and were seated right away, but I could see larger groups having a harder time finding space together. The tables are also on the smaller side, so once the food starts arriving things can get a little crowded. That said, the food completely lived up to the hype. Everything we ordered was delicious. The chicken karaage was crispy and flavorful, the marinated ribeye was tender and packed with flavor, and my favorite dish of the night was easily the beef yakisoba. We each ordered a starter, three skewers, and a side that our server recommended, and every plate disappeared quickly. The atmosphere felt lively and busy, with Japanese figurines and decorations displayed throughout the restaurant. I overheard another guest mention that it reminded them of places they had visited in Japan, which made me appreciate the attention to detail even more. One thing to note - we were told they don't split bills, which wasn't a problem for our group, but it's something to know ahead of time if you're dining with friends.

    Overall, they did an excellent job recreating the classic izakaya experience. With a lemon sour in…read moremy hand, the grill flaring up in my face, and the sound of friendly conversation all around, I felt truly nostalgic for that hour and was not broken out of my delusion by the reasonable prices. The two downsides I experienced were the bar chairs and the chicken karaage. The chicken was dry on the outside without any sort of battering, which I had not experienced outside of diet naked tenders and certainly not anywhere I ate in Japan, but the quality of the chicken itself was good and highly juicy to the point where I burned myself on my first bite with a geyser of hot water. The bar seating was a nice touch but I found myself constantly sliding back in my chair and very low to the table. The sheer number of chairs packed into the bar was also authentic, as brushing elbows does indeed happen a lot in little shops like this, even if we are not used to it here. The yaki onigiri was absolutely amazing, crunchy and sweet, and the yakisoba was delicious with the rather interesting addition of mayo on the side. I wasn't sure I'd like it but it worked well. All in all, I'd definitely come by again to scratch the itch to not drop a grand on a trip lol

The ramens were packed with the flavor. Our choices were the to tonkotsu and spicy miso. The tonkotsu was super flavorful and I loved the bits off corn and I added minced pork for extra texture in the soup which was a great choice I would do again. The noodles were thinner than other ramens I have tried but still were very yummy and cooked well. The miso was a thicker soup with thicker noodles and the spiciness wasn't overwhelming. Both bowls were very full and we had left overs to save for later. Overall I enjoyed everything about the restaurant and I would recommend others to come and try it. I will definitely be back.

A sushi bar if you want something more low key, some dimly lit tables, and a brighter dining area where I landed. No outdoor seating, but it stays busy which was surprising given the location. Menu looked like it might be tough for a vegan at first glance, but my server was super knowledgeable and made it easy. I ended up with seaweed salad, cucumber salad, edamame, roasted brussels sprouts, and a tofu style poke bowl situation that was actually really good. Green tea was solid too. Only note is if you like spice, you have to ask for it because it is very mild on its own. It is a little pricier than expected for the setting, I was around $40 for lunch, and service was great. I also ended up chatting with a regular who basically treats it like his go to spot, which says a lot. Not a mind blown moment, but definitely a solid 4 star, would go back.
