If you haven’t made the drive up to McKinney in a while, now may be the time to gas up your car. The quaint little town to our north is becoming almost as well known for its travel-worthy restaurants as it is for police assaults. Adorably named Sugarbacon stands to further the trend (the food […]

Diabetics or low-carb fanatics will be DeLited at the selection of 300-plus items devoid of the sweet stuff. Everything from barbecue sauce and margarita mix to low-carb bagels and frozen “yogurt” (that’s lactose-, gluten-, sugar- and dairy-free) line the shelves of this Richardson storefront that’s open a whopping 362 days a year (so if you’re […]

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 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 […]
