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, […]

Fresh and clean. Exciting and vibrant. Alluring and fun. All of these words describe Sushi Sakana perfectly. Owner Sue Cook’s charismatic personality comes through in the tiny strip mall restaurant that transports diners from Plano and into a sushi heaven. Delivered every other day if not daily, the fish is so fresh it melts on […]
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.

: 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, […]
Tucked away in the hustle and bustle of Preston Center, this Taco Diner location offers what might be the best service and food of all the Taco Diners in the metroplex. The waitstaff is knowledgeable and helpful with questions about the menu, and service is quick and attentive. The food doesn’t disappoint either-the guacamole is […]

With a name including the word “diner,” patrons would ostensibly imagine a greasy spoon famous for tacos. That ain’t the case. Taco Diner’s interior is sleek and modern. Light wood, purple-and-white color scheme, tile bar wall and subdued evening lighting are on par with corporate owner MCrowd Restaurant Group’s original concept – the cuisine of […]
This converted Pizza Hut barely resembles its former checkered-tablecloth self with a completely remodeled interior that includes murals of the Taj Mahal, vases and henna-covered hands. The buffet takes up most of the back wall with the all-you-can-eat staples (salad, fresh fruit and desserts) on one side and the heated Indian dishes to the right […]
