Namo

Super cute patio seating area! Along with great service, amazing sushi selection, high quality, fresh, and very tasteful! Did the $75 lunch tasting, and everything was perfectly curated. My favorite was the Katsuo sashimi. My server said something about that they pickle their own ginger, and ginger was so so good! 10/10 would recommend!

Namo restaurant exceeded our expectations from the moment we stepped through the door. Speaking of the door, it was truly spectacular, setting the tone for an unforgettable dining experience. But the excellence didn't stop there.
Our waiter, Jay, was nothing short of incredible. He not only took care of our every need but also went above and beyond in explaining the menu, ensuring we made the most out of our dining choices. His knowledge and passion for the cuisine truly enhanced our meal.
From start to finish, every aspect of our visit was flawless, leaving us eagerly anticipating our next visit. Namo has undoubtedly earned a spot on our list of favorite dining spots, and we can't wait to return for another amazing time!

TLDR: phenomenal, worth every penny.

The long story is as follows!
We decided on an early dinner on the patio as the weather was phenomenal. The restaurant is nestled in between a couple stores however the patio is secluded with some privacy fencing that both hides you from the outside but allows in enough light and viewing to be a great experience. The spot itself is small in size and reservations are definitely going to be important. I would recommend grabbing a spot at the sushi bar if possible as the interior is phenomenaly decorated and smells amazing. After a detailed explanation of the menu by our server we started with the tuna tasting. Each slice was presented in a different and delicious way. The slices are presented devoid of wasabi or soy sauce but are served with a side of each. A slight injection of wasabi infused soy elevated the experience to another level. We moved on to the uni tasting which was again another recommendation from our server that did not disappoint. The dish came with two different types of uni. Both creamy and velvety in texture, one was slightly saltier while the other sweeter. A bowl of seaweed to wrap it up in and some soy sauce and wasabi came with the uni. Again nothing short of excellent. We finished with the sake new style, per our server recommendation again. The roll came out served already sufficiently coated in wasabi and soy sauce making it a simple grab and enjoy experience. The crunchiness of the salmon skin brought a unique experience to each bite. We will definitely be returning for more.

Namo is the BEST sushi and omakase spot in Dallas and I’ve tried them all. Namo rivals Tatsu in freshness and tradition but exceeds expectations in balancing with flavor profiles.

Don’t skip the oysters!

The food was fresh and the quality is definitely 5 stars. Service is 5 stars. However it is in an uptown areas so therefore parking are limited.

Exceptional in every way. Since I live in SF, I tend not to seek out sushi when I travel to Dallas but decided to check this place out. And I’m glad I did. Traditional in one sense but creative in another, attention to detail, super fresh ingredients, great service. Highly recommend. And sorry the lack of photos, I was too into the experience.

We really enjoyed the experience, it was a whole evening of education and delicious food. With almost no sushi experience beyond tuna rolls and fried shrimps, I wasn’t sure I would feel comfortable here. But the server did an excellent job taking us through the menu, and the evening with delicious samples from around the entire menu. I loved every bite. I never felt rushed and was very impressed with the whole evening.

Definitely one of my go-tos in Dallas. They’re always very consistent. Fish is shipped from Japan and super fresh - love getting toro here. They also have a great selection from sake to Japanese whiskey. I would totally recommend sitting inside if you can get a spot because it’s a very intimate setting and a different experience vs on the patio. It is on the pricier side so be prepared for that, but a great date spot for annis, birthdays, etc.

TL;DR The BEST sushi experience I've had in America - no on else has come CLOSE! Bring 2-3 of your most adventurous-eater friends and enjoy!

At this point I've gone to Namo 3 times - two for a normal off-the-menu dinner and once for one of their special Omakase nights. Every single time it has been worth it. Not only has every staff member been courteous and helpful and taught us about things we didn't know much about on the menu, but the food is to die for. Even from my novice palette, I can tell how much nicer the fish is in comparison with the cheaper local places. They constantly are changing their menu to match the seasonal offers and have a Japanese whisky and sake menu that will leave you wanting the bottle. This is my favorite place for fine dining in Dallas.

RECOMMENDATION: It is WORTH finding a reservation with indoor seating at bare minimum. It is a pricier evening, but I would push for the Omakase Wednesdays. Not only is an even more intimate experience, but you will get to try things you might never thought to if it was just on a menu. Mine came with 20 plates - each fish prepared in its own unique way with special sauces and garnishes. For those that struggle with filling up on sushi, THIS is the way to go especially.

NOTE: Due to the arrangement of seating indoors, I wouldn't recommend a group larger than four. If you have four, you will most likely be placed on a corner of the box-shaped seating and be able to still all talk together. Anything larger would break up the group a bit.

This place has excellent, and I mean excellent food and service. Think Al’s but Japanese and better. The artistry of the chefs here is truly something to marvel at.

My only critique would be that a place like this should be in a plaza/space a little more exclusive. It’s beautifully built out, but feels a little too casual/walk up for how magnificent it is.

Really great meal. Our waiter Jay did a nice job recommending everything we had questions about and it was all delicious. The cocktails were also amazing!

I was traveling for business and Namo was near my hotel. I was blown away by the quality of the sushi at this location. I was able to walk in on Sunday evening without a reservation, but strongly recommend one as the following Tuesday it was jam packed. I went with okonomi and had a lovely experience with the chef. The highlights for me were the barracuda and uni. I had a few of their different sakes, which they let me try a few different ones before picking a full pour. Highly recommend a visit if you are in the area.

Namo is sleek and modern, with a cozy touch that makes you feel right at home. Each piece of sushi is a work of art, meticulously crafted with the freshest ingredients. Whether a connoisseur or a newcomer to Japanese cuisine, they offer something for everyone; from traditional nigiri to innovative rolls that push the boundaries of flavor. Service is impeccable, with knowledgeable staff guiding you through the menu and ensuring that every aspect of your dining experience is nothing short of perfection. Let's not forget about the sake - Namo's selection is second to none, with options to complement every dish.

This little sushi counter and terrace in the West Village turn out some of the freshest fish around. Sashimi, nigiri and maki are painstakingly prepared and delivered one piece at a time. Service is friendly, approachable, and always attentive. The small interior space is serene, reminiscent of a place you’d find in Tokyo. They have a wonderful selection of Japanese whiskey and sake that’s worth splurging for. This is surely one of the Top 5 sushi restaurants in Dallas.

Best sushi in Dallas! The owner and chef go over detail of the restaurant in meticulous detail from the quality of the produce to the ambiance in the restaurant. A very personal and beautiful experience every time we go.

Wow, what an incredible establishment. Sincerely, huge thank you to the owner Brandon, the GM John, and the entire staff for giving us such an incredible experience.

I tend to reserve my five stars for locations that truly blow my mind. Namo deserves a sixth star. I'd like to think I've spent enough time in my life trying sushi, sashimi, etc. to know what's good and what's now. Previously, I had Uchi at the top of my list in Dallas... yes, previously. That was until I visited Namo. Each, and every, dish was nothing short of incredible. Truly, each bite left me speechless.

The ambiance is great, very friendly staff, and they love the customer feedback. Everything you want in a restaurant.

Generally, I'd leave specifics, but everything was so good that I don't want to ruin the experience for you, the reader. Pricing here isn't cheap, but it's competitive and frankly, I suggest you get here before they realize they can charge twice the price and still maintain a customer base like they already do.

The uniqueness of this location cannot be stressed enough, from incredibly limited experiences to a genuine journey each time you dine with them, this place does it unlike any other in the DFW region. I couldn't be more happy to have Namo so nearby, and I hope to see y'all there soon.

An Unforgettable Michelin Star-Worthy Dining Experience

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)

Last night, I had the pleasure of dining at Namo in Dallas with my business partner, and it was nothing short of an extraordinary experience. The sushi we enjoyed was quite possibly the best I've ever tasted, with each bite revealing a symphony of flavors and textures that delighted our senses.

The head chef displayed exceptional skill and creativity in crafting each dish. The freshness of the fish, the delicate balance of flavors, and the artful presentation all contributed to an unforgettable meal. It's evident that the chef is passionate about their craft and takes pride in creating the ultimate dining experience for guests.

The ambiance of Namo was equally impressive, with a sophisticated and intimate setting that allowed for easy conversation and enjoyment of the exquisite meal. The attentive and knowledgeable staff ensured our every need was met, and their service was a significant part of what made the evening so memorable.

I wholeheartedly believe that Namo, its talented chef, and the entire team deserve a Michelin star for their remarkable work. If you're a sushi lover or simply looking for an exceptional dining experience in Dallas, do not hesitate to visit Namo. This hidden gem is not to be missed, and I can't wait to return for another memorable

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ " Fresh flavors with even fresher ingredients" Namo was delicious.
A lot of attention to detail here, staff is very attentive and have great recs.

If you can sit at the bar, it's a fun experience to watch the Sushi chefs in their element.

Drinks were A+ I highly recommend trying the Hana Martini and the Kyoto White Yuzu Ale.The Buri Sashimi and the Hamachi Kosho Roll were also top tier.

I enjoyed their selection of tasting menus, nigiri, sashimi and rolls/handrolls. Wish I had more room for more but will be back soon.

The small, intimate restaurant is wonderful to walk into with all of the indoor seating surrounding the sushi bar.

The dishes are even better! They carefully made in front of you and taste incredible, with delicious, fresh ingredients.

Staff is attentive without hovering.

Very impressed and absolutely would recommend to anyone looking for a special date night spot or just wanting to treat yourself!

Excellent high quality grade sushi. If you like Uchi, or any top sushi place, but are looking for a more intimate experience, this is the place. Inside, Namo offers sushi bar seating where you will almost certainly share many smiles with other guests in awe of the chefs’ skills. You can expect top service and attention from the host and wait staff as well. Highly recommend one of their signature nigiri pieces - The Cheeseburger. Rice, Japanese A5 wagyu, then toro fatty tuna belly, and topped with uni. You’ll have to stomach the $25 price tag for on piece, but you won’t be disappointed.
