    Lychee martini & edamame
    Caitie A.

    I have heard great things about Anchor Sushi Bar's happy hour & finally had time to stop in and check it out for myself. First, they have happy hour every day (weekends included) 4-6pm at the bar & on the patio. The patio was packed when we arrived but we had no problem finding a spot at the bar. Our bartenders were quick to serve us and offered great recommendations. We sampled the spicy California roll, the shrimp tempura roll, edamame, and pork dumplings. My favorite was the spicy California roll. It was so good that I didn't even get a picture of it before we scarfed it down! I also had a lychee martini. It was so delicious and "tasted like spring". I haven't stopped thinking about that martini since we left!

    Crispy Chicken Bao Buns

    This review is for 5/28/26. I stumbled across this spot earlier in the day and realized they had a happy hour. Their happy hour is pretty similar to Hudson House & I found out that they're owned by the same private company. I sat outside which isn't always my first choice because I don't enjoy being hot, but the shade from the trees and the over cast actually made it very enjoyable. My server's name was Omar. Omar was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and gave me a list of happy hour options that weren't even listed on the menu that I noticed other servers weren't doing. He always had a smile on his face and periodically made sure I was okay. I started with the spicy tuna crispy rice roll and the espresso. The roll comes with 4 pieces and the texture was different than I expected. It was actually a tasty entree and was just enough to leave room for more... (I'll note that it was the first and last happy hour item I ordered). Next I ordered the spicy tuna roll which is of course a basic roll, but I will say I actually did not like their version. It was played so neatly, but that add some type of salt on top of it which made it too salty (for my liking) and didn't really have much flavor outside of that. Next came the crispy chicken bao bun. It is $4 per bun for happy hour so I ordered two. The chicken was definitely crispy, but was not all that seasoned to me. The bun was of course very fluffy and the sauce and home made pickles sort of made up for that. Each roll for happy hour is $8, but some of the vegetate option ones are $6. All in all I enjoyed my experience, I enjoyed Omar, and will destiny return to try other items. It would have gotten 5 stars but the chicken and regular tuna roll lost a star for me. Other than that, I was pleased.

    Diet Coke

    The girls and I headed here for happy hour on Friday...and everything was perfect! We enjoyed the patio, even though it was a summer day in the middle of Dallas. The misting fans were perfect and cooled everything off well. We ordered a few happy hour apps (1/2 off) and each got a few beverages...of course we had to have diet cokes. Our service staff was great - all knowledgeable and kind (even though a few food runners tried to deliver food to the wrong table). We'll be back...no doubt about it!!

    Inside

    Thought it was pretty good. It's a tiny little restaurant and tiny patio. I made a reservation and they accidentally marked it as a different party- so they got my table inside and we had to either wait 20 minutes or just sit outside. So we sat outside. The staff were all super nice and apologetic about it all. The sushi itself was really good! I got the Sweet and Spicy Roll, and Golden Mango roll (sadly not photoed).

    Crap

    Anchor yourself to something stable because this place will have you spilling your guts. Fish spoilage for sure. Disgusting. This was the second and last time I have ordered from Anchor Bar. I don't think their fish is sushi grade. I had to spit out two rolls because the fish tasted spoiled and old. Not to mention it's expensive as hell. I want my money back. And I want to know where this fish was from and how long it had been sitting. This experience really pissed me off. If you want salmonella or food poisoning, this is your place! If you want good sushi, go anywhere else. Oishi is the best.

    Kuro Edamame
    Alan R.

    We had a great time at Anchor Bar. We started off with the Edamame which was well seasoned and tasted great. We then got the crispy chicken bao buns which were my favorite part of the meal. The glaze on the chicken was incredible. Next, we got two speciality rolls- the baked crab and the best roll. Both were excellent and I would recommend them again. Lastly, the ambiance was good inside the restaurant and their outdoor patio will be perfect for cooler weather. Overall, we would definitely come back here.

    Welcoming spot with indoor and outdoor seating. Service was excellent and the restaurant works together to provide you with an unforgettable experience. Your tastebuds will thank you, try everything! The lychee martini will be a staple! I loved how fresh the sushi was and the presentation. Great spot in Knox!

    Chef's Pressed
    Tee H.

    Had a Valentine's dinner reservation, we're seated quickly outside. The seats were still wet from the torrential downpour but we dried them off and kept chugging along. We got the Pear Martini and the Hibiscus Margarita, both were delicious. To eat, we got the Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice to start, which was fantastic. Then the Hamachi Crudo, which was my favorite bite of the night. We got an assortment of nigiri, a few rolls, and the Brussel sprouts, which were very hot but very good. The Anchor Roll was great, the Chef's Pressed Roll could be skipped. The food took a while to come out but that is to be expected with a holiday dinner reservation. Our waiter, Omar, took very good care of us, and we will definitely be back to try their happy hour.

    A perfect sushi roll and fresh
    Beau H.

    The Anchor Sushi Bar is a beautifully upscale nautical experience with the food quality to match. This menu Cascades from one of a kind Sushi to fresh sashimi to actual hamburgers and such. As you keep going down this menu is where things get interesting. Continuing in their expansive, Asian flavored items would be The Anchor Roll, the zesty fried rice, Sweet and Sour Brussels and house specials such as Thai noodle steak salad, Chicken Wonton salad. Sweet & Sour Brussels are so very nice and pack an unexpected punch. The art ranges from taught culture to entirely in Japanese posters from James Bond, to Sophia Loren and even Steve McQueen. I love it and happy to spend more time at this bar and enjoy the vibe that this spot has curated. Our server was Hannah and was so kind and welcoming and we appreciated her knowing this menu inside and out and curating a perfect afternoon meal for us both!

    Pear martini
    Gabriela Z.

    Crispy rice and brussels were tasty. Edamame was gross. It had a spice on it that numbed my tongue. Miso soup was good, as well as lychee and pear martini. My friends liked the anchor roll but didn't like the sunset as much. Overall food was 3/5. Service was ok but they messed up our bill. Told us it was happy hour but charged us full price. If we wouldn't have double checked we wouldn't have gotten happy hour price. Patio was a great vibe.

    Up scale sushi fusion, all menu we tried are excellent, Sea-bass is very fresh and cooked to perfect temperature. Service is also very good, Destini gave us wonderful smile and suggestions. The place is small, but cozy and look up scale, we love it.

    Arrived packed nicely and secure

I want to extend a huge shout-out to our waiter, Vivian, for giving us insight on the food and bars/places to check around in Dallas! She went above and beyond :) Miso soup with silky tofu was delicious, they balanced out the yellow miso well with a hint of (maybe) crate-barrelled? For the nigiri I had the fatty tuna, a5 wagyu, and king salmon. They were all absolutely delicious and warped me to Japan. I was reminded of the same quality and taste - which checks out since they import their fish from Japan! The special kome roll was so delicious I ate it very slowly to savor every bite and memory of sushi in Japan. For dessert I had the deep fried cheesecake - I think the last time I had this I was 12 at Mr. sushi in Boston and all my memories came back. Grapes were too big though but everything else A+ The matcha tonic - I can't find it online but it was an incredible balance of fizzy, sweetness and matcha.

Our table was seated directly beneath an air vent that was actively dripping water. During dinner, the water repeatedly dripped onto me. After notifying the staff the first time, they simply wiped down the vent while food was being served rather than offering to reseat our party. When I brought the issue to their attention a second time, the response was the same; they wiped it down, but the dripping continued throughout the remainder of the meal. For a restaurant at this price point, I expected a more proactive solution and better attention to guest comfort. Additionally, our group ordered the Demon Slayer 300 mL sake, priced at $55. After pouring the sake, our server, Adonis, took the bottle away with him, even though we understood that the bottle was intended to remain at the table for our party. This added to the confusion and frustration surrounding the overall experience. As a first-time guest, I was looking forward to an enjoyable dining experience, but the lack of attention to these issues left me disappointed. While the food may have been enjoyable, the service and handling of these concerns fell short of expectations, particularly given the cost of dining here.

    Sushi Bar Dallas…read more Omakase at Sushi Bar Dallas is an incredible experience from the moment you step inside. The room is intentionally intimate and very dark, with an industrial ceiling where pipes climb 20+ feet above, signaling you're in for something far from a traditional sushi bar. My only gripe came at the front of the house: the initial greeting and the rule explanation were a little too demanding and elementary for someone who is tired and paying a significant amount of money for a sushi dinner. Put the rules in an email, text and on the website i'm not in 4th grade. The hostess was pleasant, but she seemed a bit robotic in doling out the rules of the evening. The line-up system, where you wait your turn and have your name called, feels odd and reminds me of the times I visited my friend in prison and the guards lined us up against the wall by our names before they took us to the room with inmates. Uncomfortable but I do follow most rules and there was a reason for the lineup that becomes clear as you settle in. Next she takes you down a dimly lit, narrow wooden staircase and you land in a basement sanctuary of omakase heaven. Our hostess knocked and the door opened to a room that felt specially curated for this meal. Each guest found their name written in gold on a sign on the sushi bar where you are suppose to sit. The chair was a very comfortable leather chair. Each gold written name plate, marking the guest order she placed us in upstairs. My seat was at the center of the sushi bar, perfectly positioned to capture video and photos of both chefs in action. From the start, we were told we'd be eating with our hands, a nod to traditional Japanese dining. The chefs staged 17 courses with the precision of neurosurgeons, walking us through every nuance from the provenance of the seafood to the section of the fish we were eating to the age of the barrel aged soy sauce. Not a detail was missed, and timing felt both deliberate and urgent in all the right moments. The father, Jose, was laid-back and effortlessly in control, while Leo, Jose's son, emerged as a true partner in the kitchen, their dynamic reminiscent of watching a masterful, living artwork take shape. The two moved back and forth with a rhythm that felt like a collaboration at the highest level, each dish placed neatly on a flat stone in front of each of us. They would then announce with pride what we were about to inhale and wait in anticipation of our response. It was clear they take tremendous pride in their craft, presenting edible masterpieces that felt almost ceremonial. Too keep everyone happy with the time in between dishes there was an endless supply of a pickled salad that I could not stop eating. As for a favorite course, it's hard to pick one. Each bite built on the last, and the whole sequence felt cohesive, an immersive set from tartare hand roll, to Shima Aji, Madai, Uni my favorite, Hotate, Masu, Hirami, Hamachi, Bincho, Kinmedai, and something I have never heard of Zuwaigani, followed by the best Waygu I have ever had in my life and ending with a passion fruit sorbet with activated charcoal crumbles and toasted crispy coconut, I don't like coconut and I ate every bite. The pairing of technique, seasonal seafood, and f#%king great seasonings left a lasting impression or as my wife says, "my husband has food memories." If you're considering a visit, go with an open mind, a willingness to lean into the pace, and a camera ready (flash off it's one of the rules) for the moments when the chefs' artistry shines. The father-and-son team of Jose Manuel Tapia and Leo deliver something rare: not just sushi, but a storytelling meal where every plate is a page in an ongoing, delicious epic food story. At the end they will make you additional food for an additional price but it's worth it. They then walked us over to a very nice bar with a great vibe and old school Dazz Band playing like I was in a time machine and it was 1982. Great place, great food, great vibe. Be ready to drop $300 plus per person tip is included but you will want to tip the sushi chefs something extra.

Sat at the counter and loved watching the chefs work everything felt intentional and precise. Each piece was beautifully presented and incredibly fresh. The nigiri really stood out: perfectly seasoned rice, melt-in-your-mouth fish, and thoughtful touches that elevated every bite. You can tell there's serious attention to detail. The pacing of the courses was just right, the staff was friendly and knowledgeable, and the whole experience felt relaxed but refined. It's the kind of place where you just settle in and enjoy the craft. Easily one of my favorite sushi experiences in Dallas. I'll definitely be back.
