Nobu Dallas

Nobu Dallas, in the Oak Lawn section near the Crescent, offers its "At the Sushi Bar" omakase on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings only. Seating is limited to four guests at 7pm, with a chef guiding the group through a 17-course menu that blends traditional sushi with Nobu's signature dishes.

The set menu runs $225 per person plus tax. An optional sake and champagne pairing adds $70 plus tax. The counter seating format and English-language menu make the format straightforward to navigate for first-time guests, and reservations are handled through OpenTable.

Outside the Tuesday-Wednesday omakase seatings, the main dining room keeps separate hours, open nightly from 5pm with slightly later closes on Friday and Saturday (10:30pm versus 10pm the rest of the week). The restaurant also runs "Tanoshi Hours," a bar program with cocktails and small bites, Sunday through Thursday from 5pm to 8pm.

For the regular menu, the kitchen points newcomers toward its "Eight Highlights," recommending two or three cold dishes, then two or three hot dishes, finishing with sushi and dessert, all served family style. Dishes commonly recommended include yellowtail jalapeño, sashimi salad with Matsuhisa dressing, rock shrimp tempura, and black cod miso. This is standard Nobu-brand service rather than a chef's-table operation tied to a single named chef at this location.
