Great spot for a low-key outing to grab lunch. The sushi was pretty good and the service provided by the wait staff was good as well. The restaurant appear to be short staffed, but despite that we appreciated the staff rising to the occasion to try to service everyone as best as possible. Great patio with plenty of shade, and even better opportunities to people watch. read more

Everyone recommends the spicy tuna crispy rice for a reason, it's so good!! I think the Knox roll and chefs pressed are also stand out dishes. I also feel like it's a plus to be able to get some fries with your sushi lol read more

Mother's day dinner and the place wasn't really busy with open tables everywhere. Service was horrible and people who got here after us got seated and orders taken before us. We normally love this place and always come here but tonight was not great. read more

This place was great. The atmosphere and decor was relaxing and comfortable and the service was attentive. We were given ample time to relax and enjoy. The food was incredible and even our non sushi eater found something to enjoy. I would highly recommend this place, but make a reservation. It gets so busy. read more

Justin the bartender was the WORST person I have ever been served by in any restaurant. Arguing with customers at the bar? Taking 25 min to say hello? Rude to every customer, bullies people at the bar and the manager lets it happen ! No consequence. Well I'll be telling all my friends to stay away, as well I will be staying away. Places change , people suck, won't come back. I witnessed some terrible treatment of patrons today. Disgusting attitude. This company's restaurants are going down hill. read more

Came here for my sister in laws birthday. I love the feel and decor of the restaurant. It def makes me feel like I'm on a boat. Service was pretty good though the busboy(older man) was a bit rude, never spoke. The food was ok. My drink was the best part. I love trying new places to I doubt this one makes it into rotation again. read more

Service was horrible , food was mediocre / bland and martini was meh. I was the only guest at the bar and I continually had to flag the two bartenders down. I'?3 given the Royal location a few tries over the past couple years because it's a good stopping point after work while running errands / during traffic. I won't waste another dollar there. read more

Came in for a quick lunch and left very disappointed. The pork shumai was served cold, and our server, Sarah, never explained the QR code checkout process or asked if we needed anything else. There was a billing issue where we were nearly charged twice for the same item due to it being split across two checks, each with its own platform fee. When we asked to speak with a manager, we were told to go find them ourselves, which felt unprofessional. Service throughout was inattentive and dismissive. Overall, a frustrating experience that left a lot to be desired in both service and process. read more

Solid sushi bar. Ambience is somewhat nautical yet cozy. Here's what we ordered: - Crispy chicken bao buns: Did not have high hopes for these, and boy was I wrong for that because these were DELICIOUS! Perfectly crispy chicken, with a great sauce. - Hamachi ponzu: Good. The fish slices were thicker than I would've preferred, but still nice. - Truffle Toro: AMAZING. This melted in our mouths - A5 Wagyu Beef: ALSO AMAZING. Also, melted in our mouths. We enjoyed this so much, we ordered another order of this. Lobster and shrimp potstickers: Alright. Lupton Roll: No. just no. We did not like this at all. Definitely not appetizing. The Miyazaki: Absolutely no. We were tricked because this had the a5 wagyu and since the wagyu beef nigiri was so delectable, we had high hopes for this. However, we could barely stomach it. We only had a 2 pieces of this, total and had to send it back. The wagyu was nothing like the nigiri. Instead, it was hard. Glad we got so much aside from the two rolls, because everything else was solid. We'd come back again. read more

I have found a new favorite restaurant. I'm so impressed with the attention to detail in service, ambiance and food. I'll start with service. Hubby and I arrived a little early (a first for us !) and were treated to complimentary wine or Prosecco while we waited. What a great concept. The hostess says that the Vandelay Hospitality Group is committed to providing everyone who waits, a good first impression. Definitely worked for me! The restaurant itself is very handsome and tastefully appointed. It looks like the interior of a luxury yacht, rounded corners, hard wood, oval windows. The bar vibe was energetic. Onto the food. We tried the Tuna Shiso Tacos. These were amazing. Fresh, with lemon vinaigrette and a little homemade wasabi for heat. The bottom was like a tostado but better. Husband tried the Hamachi Yuzu. He ate it all with a happy face, so apparently was delicious. For my entree I had the King Salmon. Can I tell you this was the BEST salmon I've ever had. The exterior was carmelized which made the exterior have a beautiful browned and sweet, but not too sweet, flavor. The interior remained delicate and cooked to perfection. This was served with nicely cooked fried rice. I especially liked the tiny mushrooms in the fried rice. A heavenly dish! Husband had the Anchor Roll. Although the hamachi and bluefin tuna tasted fresh and ratio of fish to rice was good, he was not a fan of the lemon mustard sauce. Mustard, he says, belongs on pork or burgers, not sushi. Our waiter was fabulous. Perfect night! read more

I had been wanting to try Anchor for awhile... it's right down the street from me. It did not disappoint. We started out with Lychee martini and several sushi dishes and ended with the Lemon drop martini which was phenomenal. The service was good and the atmosphere was really nice. Definitely will be back and will try the bar! read more

Anchor Sushi Bar - The Spicy Tuna Crispy Rice, A5 Wagyu Dumplings - New American Near Me - Dallas, Texas

See all

From the moment we stepped in, we were greeted with a warm hello and smiles across the board. We tend to dine in the bar area bc I feel it is more personable with the people who not only serve your drinks but your food. There's something that is ever so slightly different than dining in the dining area. We have started with the Truffle Salmon, adorned with crystallized soy and citrus. We had asked which the bartender, Kirstin, what she preferred it and the shrimp & lobster pot stickers. Both, apparently get amazing reviews, but if you are looking for something light, the Truffle Salmon is the way to go. For dinner we have decided on the Best Roll & Anchor Roll. (Those with any allergy to cucumber, the Chef's Pressed is premade therefore the cucumber cannot be left out.) The Anchor Roll has rice, so a smidge dense with a citrus undertone. Very good for a sushi roll. The Best Roll, for those who may have a texture forward palate and soft things (soggy bread-like), this may be a challenge. The salmon is almost overpowering. The trick on this roll, dive into the middle. The filling is legit!! The ambiance is pleasant, for sure. Overall, I'd definitely come back! read more

Service has gone down hill. Long waits at the front with no one available in the host area. Very dismissive when talking to you and then staff just ends up walking away. Other than that their food is okay. read more

A5Miyazaki wagyu roll is fake. They use US Wagyu, not A5 rank wagyu from Japan. It's better to choose rice less rolls like the best roll or Lupton ,oh but these rolls are Oishii's signature rolls. What a shame! read more

Everybody seems to absolutely love this new sushi spot in Dallas! Shaped like a ship on the inside tons of wood beautiful .. great music, fabulous service, and the food a little on the small side but it's so tasty and so flavorful we ended up having seven different dishes and they were all amazing.... The blue fin and the yellowtail crispy rice is some of the best we've ever had . Hamachi yellowtail and salmon again so delicious so creative with just a kick a spice . They have this great roll without rice, wrapped in salmon. The flavor is off the chain. This is a sushi restaurant that I would visit again, and again make a reservation because they are busy. read more

Best lemon drop martinis in town and the truffle salmon sashimi is to die for. Literally one of the best things I've ever eaten. The vibe is upscale but relaxed and the interior is meant to evoke an old wooden ship. Service has always been stellar and friendly. One of my very fave HH spots in the entire metroplex. read more

Anchor sushi was a delicious delight! Their interior is designed similarly to a cruise ship which I thought was really fun! We started with the famous crispy rice (spicy tuna) which was amazing. Very crispy and delicious. We also had the crispy chicken bao buns which were really great. The soft fluffy bun and crispy chicken went together so well. The chicken was a little spicy and I personally do not enjoy spicy foods but I found it tolerable and still yummy! The small miso salad was light and flavored very well with a ginger vinaigrette. The steamed pork shumai was possibly by favorite item of the night. It was wrapped very delicately and the filling was mouth watering. For sushi we had the chef kaseo roll, coconut shrimp and the baked crab roll. The chef kaseo roll came with 4 pieces, I loved the torched salmon and miso honey. The coconut shrimp role was wrapped and came with 6 large pieces. This roll was more light and included macadamia nut. The baked crab roll was my favorite as it had warm baked crab on top and had 6 pieces. It did have a bit of spice to it but it was still enjoyable for me. The crab was soft, warm and rich. I thoroughly enjoyed it! Overall, I highly recommend this place and we even came back a few days later! At our second visit we tried the lobster and shrimp potstickers which were packed full of delicious lobster and shrimp. I think I enjoyed the steamed pork shumai more though. We also had the ahi tuna nigiri which was a beautiful color and delectable. We also enjoyed the cherry blossom cocktail. I highly recommend and would come back! read more

I'm on a boat! That's at least how I felt when I went to dine at Anchor Sushi this past weekend. The marine windows and wooden interior play right into the feeling of being on an old luxury yacht. The high leather booths and dim lighting were perfectly catered for both casual and fine dining, while the bar section also had the same balanced touch with the addition of a few flatscreens. The Lobster Pot Stickers were adequate starters, as was the Frosty Wagyu Fried Rice, but the signature rolls, specifically the A5 Miyazaki Roll and Chef's Pressed Roll, were where the true buried treasure was hidden. Just try to hold back on the warm sake, or you might start to get a bit seasick. Not that you won't mind too much if you're not a landlubber accustomed to such things. I would also like to mention that requesting a Neapolitan combo of espresso, vanilla & strawberry mochi is the perfect way to cleanse the palate after finishing your meal. My only minor complaint is that I would've preferred if the music was a little more on-brand and would suggest any type of "city pop," which is a smooth type of Japanese new wave that would've really complemented the atmosphere perfectly. Other than that, she's a mighty fine vessel, as I can see. Anchors aweigh! read more

Atmosphere was captivating. Made me want seafood. Sushi was great. Will you consider adding stuffed gulf shrimp to the menu?

Stopped in late afternoon for an early dinner, and were we ever glad we did.The restaurant is very "date night" chic and elegant with a very attentive traditional maitre d' and wait staff. As their first diners of the day, we received extra attention from Max, our actor/waiter on hiatus from NYC. He "walked" us through their menu of shareable plates to help make our dinner "the first of many to come." Starting with the SPICY TUNA CRISPY RICE, we then worked our way through the LALA, ANCHOR, LUPTON, and BEST rolls. Each stood on its own as unique and fantastic. LEMON DROP and THE ESPESSO martinis complimented our dinner. The delicious dinner and excellent service convinced us that we needed to schedule a return date night with friends...soon! read more

My local neighborhood spot - I come here probably once a week. The patio is awesome when the weather is good and more of a casual vibe than inside. Great to grab a meal after walking on the trail. The martinis are delish and I've never tried a bad dish. Also a great date spot with lovely staff. read more

Anchor Sushi Bar is a beautiful restaurant. It's dimly lit and very intimate, which makes it the perfect date night spot. Making reservations is ideal as this place gets pretty packed since they are only open in the evening. Also, there are limited parking spaces in front of the restaurant, so plan to arrive at least five minutes early to find additional parking within the plaza. The highlights of my experience were the following items: - Lychee Martini - Shrimp and lobster potstickers - Miyazaki Roll - Golden Roll Everything was flavorful, fresh and balanced. The ratio of ingredients in the rolls was perfect for one nice bite. I loved the coarse salt underneath the Miyazaki roll that paired perfectly with the Wagyu beef. I would highly recommend ordering that one! Overall, I enjoyed my experience and would return to explore the rest of the menu. read more

This was my second time coming to the place, and still had nice experience which was great to have! Tried the fried rice, and crispy tofu roll this time, and it was perfect combination! I really enjoyed my meals. The lemon drop is probably the best one I've had in while! The bartenders definitely know what they are doing which is great to see! It is a nice place, and great music all around especially for the week. The service I've gotten has been good past couple times! It is honestly really nice to have that, especially in times like these. The food has been on point! Service has been excellent, so definitely planning come back more. Drinks are excellent! It is great place to catch up with friends, family, and business too! read more

Came very excited for a new place, and can't say we were impressed. At 5pm the place was empty, but the hostess wasn't too excited to sit us. The waiter had to come back three times to check in the back the questions we had about the dishes (can onions be served on the side, and can vodka be replaced by gin?) We were brought the wrong plate of rolls, had to replace it. Food was average, I guess there is audience for such rolls and sushi, to my taste they were too "busy", and sauced over. Pressed sushi had an off rice-not-rice ratio. I would say the ambience was very nice, I loved stylized ship deck with round windows and exposed wood. Food and service-wise the place is not for me. read more

I used to love this place because of their starters, but I went today and they completely redid the menu? They took off the entire starter section including the wagyu fried rice, salmon in truffle oil, and bao buns. Im so sad!

Anchor Sushi Bar is the latest addition concept to the Vandelay group that continues the tradition of excellence that we've come to expect. Securing a reservation amidst the enthusiastic rush of patrons vying to experience this new venture was a stroke of luck.Let me begin by reviewing their creative use of space, crafting an atmosphere that presents class and distinction. The service we received for our reservation was nothing short of top-notch, with every interaction characterized by an impressive level of warmth and friendliness. Naturally, the drinks maintained their reputation of being refreshingly cold and flavorful. We began our meal with an array of starters: the toro tartare, spicy tuna crispy rice, and two other signature rolls- the chef's pressed roll and the miyazaki roll. The toro proved to be an indulgence in every bite having presented more generous portion than I was anticipating. The ever-favored spicy tuna crispy rice lived up to its reputation which is always a classic to order. The sushi selection showcased their concept very well with the miyazaki roll standing out as an exceptionally innovative creation- one that I could have easily ordered twice. For our main course, we opted for the soy glazed fillet and the Tokyo cheeseburger. The soy glazed filet was impeccably cooked and creatively presented. Meanwhile, the Tokyo cheeseburger, while flavorsome, proved that there could be a little room for improvement. Perhaps with the addition of a side. Our final meal was the indulgence of a lava cake accompanied by a medley of fresh fruits and berries. If I were to express a wish, it would be for the inclusion of an option for ice cream alongside the dessert offering. Despite this, the desert was very satisfying. I would absolutely recommend seizing the opportunity to experience Anchor Sushi Bar. It stands not only as a testament to the Vandelay standard of quality but also culinary mastery. read more

This place is great. While they have a great variety of sushi, I would call it more of an Asian restaurant with a sizable menu. They have a great selection of appetizers, skewers, rice, sushi, and various entrées. We tried the pork dumplings and the spicy tuna crispy rice and will definitely order them again. The miso Seabass and the Prime fillet stirfry are exceptional. The menu is sizable and even includes a cheeseburger (which seemed to be quite popular), so we will be back. read more

Loved the ambiance of this restaurant! Feels like you are on a boat, dark wood but lots of natural light. Crispy rice was our favorite app. We tried three rolls - pressed sushi, the Lupton roll, and the Best roll. Pressed sushi was great if you like seared salmon. Lupton roll reminded me of the Oishii Royce roll. Hibiscus marg was light and sweet! Server was new but excellent. Would definitely recommend for a date night or party of two - menu is limited but there are def options for meat lovers that I will be back to try! It gives a little to be desired but still a fun spot. 4-7 happy hour every day for martinis and crispy rice in bar area! read more
