Surf Camp is Nick Badovinus’ rooftop bar and restaurant in the East Quarter, perched above National Anthem and Brass Ram. Self-described as a “rooftop refreshments and fair-weather snack bar,” Surf Camp delivers on those promises from start to finish. The cocktails lean heavily on tropical motifs, all the beer comes in cans, and there’s light […]
While the idea for Surreal Creamery was birthed in New York City, portions – it seems – are Texas-sized. Even smaller-sized cups and cones overflow with mounds of soft serve and toppings. While it means it’s messier to eat, it also means that Surreal caters particularly well to those who want to swap out an […]
Sushi Bayashi brings Japanese cuisine to Trinity Groves, with a smart-looking patio space and a sharp dining room filled with communal tables. Get to know your neighbors over some Sapporo and dive into the appetizer menu, where salty, fatty bites pair perfectly with beer. If you’re in the mood for something more substantial, the curry […]
Sushi Kyoto on Hillcrest Road is where the SMU set goes to nosh on California rolls and throw back warm sake. The interior feels appropriately Japanese, with lots of wood paneling and low tables surrounded by benches, or you can belly up to the bar to make friends with the sushi masters. Start off with […]
This North Dallas Japanese restaurant is an all-rounder, serving very good examples of just about everything you could want. The ramen is some of the best in Dallas – more flavorful and less aggressively salty than bowls from many ramen specialists – and the specialty sushi rolls don’t go over-the-top. They do include unusual preparations, […]

In the 17-plus years since the Observer last reviewed Sushi Yokohama, much has changed beyond the restaurant’s doors. Dallas has seen prominent restaurants rise and fall, trends come and go and perhaps even a food industry bubble grow and burst. But, in this Preston Road strip mall, a star sushi restaurant continues to shine even […]
Sushi Zushi has a menu as long as the Japanese archipelago. It’s got something for everyone, whether adventurous Nipponophiles (beef sashimi) or sushi initiates (salmon or fatty tuna). There are high-priced creative dishes, like the Rooster roll (fried chicken, Sriracha sauce, Monterey Jack cheese and jalapeño) and the Bora Bora roll, which has an ingredient […]
After two decades, this destination still sticks to the fundamentals of, um, Asian-lashed, Mediterr-ized American fare, with some global twists. Chef-owner Gilbert Garza and his kitchen sidekick Ernesto Mendoza change things up occasionally. The dynamic duos creates a maze of intense flavors on one plate, a strategic unveiling of complementary elements on another. And they […]
This locally spot is owned by a native of Louisiana who is also the chef. Everything is made from scratch, even the remoulade sauce. Try a soft-shell crab po’boy and a cup of jambalaya, but be sure to save room for the beignets. They also have muffalettas and fried green tomatoes.
Chef Luke Rogers and wife Geni have curated the near-perfect cozy local bistro in Oak Cliff, where a meal here feels like being invited to your neighbor’s home. Formerly known as Beckley 1115, the Rogers added a full-service bar and tucked a few more tables into the space as part of the rebranding. The menu still […]

Sweet Georgia Brown could easily be overlooked among the surrounding Family Dollars and pawn shops, but when the soul food mecca is called “the pride of South Dallas” (it’s actually in South Oak Cliff), it’s not the appearance they’re talking about. It’s the unbelievable food: melt-in-your-mouth ribs; crispy, greasy fried chicken; buttery sweet potatoes; and […]
Dallas got its first proper tiki bar in 2020, smack dab in the middle of a pandemic. But, you can’t keep a good grind down. Fully vested in every aspect of island life, including a Dole whip machine and tropical drinks served in SPAM tins, this spot on Lowest Greenville serves traditional Hawaiian plates with […]

This spot sits on the second floor above TEN Ramen at the Sylvan Thirty complex and is a sister-spot to Bryan Avenue Tavern. It’s a great spot to catch a game and have a cold drink but be sure to go hungry. Start with their West Dallas Deviled eggs built with a bacon jam base […]
: If you have fantasies of becoming the next Serena Williams, this ritzy members-only tennis club in North Dallas should probably become your second home. Besides a whopping 30 playing courts (including eight indoor for when it’s too damn hot or cold to play outside), the racquet club also offers a Pilates and yoga room, […]
Come 2:30 a.m., droves of inebriated folks migrate to the Lower Greenville Taco Cabana to fill their beer-bloated bellies with fast-food Tex-Mex. Its ’round-the-clock hours and location conveniently within stumbling distance of several bars makes it an excellent alternative to the Bell or the Bueno, and what it lacks in Doritos Locos tacos, it makes […]
