Always excited to try a new handroll place! We tried a trio of handrolls (salmon, yellowtail and eel) as well as two specials: the salmon belly nigiri and the salmon with truffle ponzu. The handrolls were pretty good, with just the right balance of fish to rice. The eel is always our favorite everywhere, and it was no different here. The salmon sashimi in truffle ponzu was okay - it's sublime at Hatsuyuki, but here, the flavor of both truffle and ponzu were both lacking. The sashimi itself was plump and tasty though. Overall, not as good as Hatsuyuki, and I also prefer Kome over this place, but it's still good enough for a quick fix. read more

Love, love, love!! I came on a rainy day, and it was such a pleasant experience. You can never go wrong with handrolls, and I LOVE how they have so many nigiri options as well. As you can probably tell from their customer photos, the salmon belly is a must order. It's actually super cheap, and it tastes delicious. Service is on point as well! I would come back again and again. read more

Sooo delicious and fresh! Recommend the sweet shrimp, Handroll combo, gintaro, and salmon belly. Service was quick. Some of the nigiri was a bit small and some handrolls not wrapped very well (filling falling out) but taste was great. read more

I've been a regular at hatsuyuki for a long time but I live in Dallas. So when a new restaurant opened this side I was excited to check it out. The service was on point. I've been to hatsuyuki at least ten times before so I'm very familiar with how things are over there. We ordered: 4 roll combo: Salmon roll, yellowtail roll, unagi: quality as good as hatsuyuki Toro, scallop roll: not as good quality as hatsuyuki Salmon belly: as good as hatsuyuki The prices were around 10% higher. I would say one of the bigger areas that could use improvement is the lighting. Hatsuyuki is big and bright and it makes the sushi look better. This is dim and harder to see what you're eating. read more

Naminohana - Baked lobster roll special: was just ok - Sushi Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

So glad to have tried this sushi spot in Dallas. Very similar to Hatsuyuki in terms of quality and experience, which is definitely a compliment. We tried mostly items on the special menu this time and they were all great. Highlights included: gindara (black cod), jikinmedai (snapper) and salmon belly, of course. Love the sear level on the sushi and the smoky flavor it brought. We 100% will come back! read more

I've had Hatsuyuki and this is almooooost comparable. The rice was a little soft for me and I feel like the hand rolls were smaller. The service was very nice and they tried to pace me along with my friends because I'm a fast eater, but I was patiently waiting for my next hand roll/nigiri. I loved the gindara, it's just as good as I remember it at Hatsuyuki. I would def come back here again because it does fix my cravings and it's closer to the Dallas area. The toro scallop was also one of my fave pieces! Fresh fish all around! read more

I'm was going back and forth about if I should write this review because I don't want this place to get too popular. It's fantastic. We were greeted warmly when we walked in and took a quick pic of the specials board. The space is small, but we immediately got a seat. There are only about twenty at the big bar. The emphasis here is on the fish. It's fresh and prepared exquisitely. We filled up on some Toro, Aji, and Modai. So darn good. I was already planning to come back when I finished dinner. No reservations. Make sure you get there early. read more

Instagram helped us stumble across Naminohana. Such a wonderful hand roll sushi place. And we love how small and intimate it is. Came here on a Tuesday after work and it was easy to find a spot, considering it only seats about 20-ish individuals. They did mention that during the weekends they are slammed so probably better to come on a weekday after work if you're trying it out for the first time. Our server, Emily was wonderful, it was slow so we got a chance to speak with her quite a bit and she was so attentive and easy to talk to. The sushi chefs were great. Very fast with making our nigiri and hand rolls. Everything was perfectly priced for the quality of the fish. We were really impressed. read more

If you've ever been to kazunori in LA you know you're in for a treat at a premium sushi handroll bar! The quality here is excellent and you can't go wrong with any of the three pre-made handroll sets, and you are meant to pair it with a selection or two from their specials menu. Don't let the size deceive you - handrolls can be very filling very quickly. Service is swift and intended to be speedy. The chefs do a great job of keeping track where you're at and serve up the next handroll right on time. There are only about 15 seats in the whole place so savor, but be mindful. read more

Amazing hand rolls are hard to come by. So that this place is here! If you're looking for incredibly fresh sushi with great service, this is where you want to go. We normally go to that place in Ft. Worth (which we love) but we were heading to DT Dallas and wanted some sushi close to our event. Got the 5 hand roll special. It was really really delicious. Now the prices are a bit more expensive than the other place. Next time, I would probably order the pieces a la carte so that I can pick out the rolls that I really want. Overall this is a great place to stop and enjoy some amazing sushi! read more

Newer handroll place in town and it's not too shabby! It's similar to Hatsuyuki but I will say it's not the same as Hatsuyuki. Still pretty decent for Dallas area! I definitely think it's better and more affordable than Nori handroll bar. I do wish they used fresh garnishes instead of dried. Their salmon belly had dried chives or dried green onions and I prefer fresh. read more

I can't speak highly enough of Naminohana. The staff are wonderful and incredibly attentive, since only 14 people can eat at any given time. The food has been perfectly consistent and fresh throughout the many times I've been. The cozy atmosphere and top-notch food cements this restaurant as a true gem in Dallas. read more

This is my new favorite handroll place in Dallas! It is almost identical to my OG favorite, Hatsayuki, which I miss being down the street from ever since I moved to Dallas. They don't take reservations so I would recommend arriving when they open to minimize your wait time. I came here on a random weeknight and was so pleased to find that there was no wait. They have preset handroll combos, but I decided to order a la carte so that I could try more of the items on the special menu. Some of my favorite items on the menu are my tried and true from Hatsayuki - salmon belly ( a must try), spicy salmon hand roll, chu toro, and hamachili. So flavorful and fresh. The prices are super affordable. Service is quick. I cannot wait to go back again and again! read more

I've been to this place twice now and I can say they provide excellence each time! The set up is your typical hand roll set up with the bar that holds about 20 people total so it's not a great place for a large family dinner but that's okay! I prefer an intimate place anyways! The sushi itself is incredible and fresh with a changing specials menu so make sure you get what you like when you can! I think this place is the perfect date night spot! read more

Five hand rolls for $29 is not a bad deal. Salmon, crab, yellowtail, bay scallops, and lobster hand rolls were delicious! I was full off five for dinner but ordered a madai nigiri and a salmon belly nigiri in additions. Everything was fresh and delicious. I will definitely be back. Service was quick as well. There are no tables, just a sushi bar so make reservations or prepare to wait during rush hour read more

Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Value: 4/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 ----- Finally here to leave my review of my new favorite sushi staple in Dallas. If anyone knows me, they know I have a deep abiding love for handroll places - luckily we now have one in Dallas that is just as good and delightful as our previous favorite in Fort Worth. Initially when they opened, there were definitely some kinks to work out - ie the rice was clumpy and not uniformly cooked, this was my biggest gripe and I just could not get over it. However, I'm happy to report that there have not been any issues recently at all, and now this place is just as glorious as I could ever expect. We live down the street and it's extremely dangerous for our wallets. I would recommend arriving when they open - weeknights are of course better than peak times on weekends, otherwise you my have to wait up to or over an hour to be seated (small bar seating only, and limited to no wait area). Favorite bites are salmon belly and gindara (black cod), and my great value recommendation is the spicy salmon hand roll. Chutoro is also delicious, especially if they have an extra fresh batch that came in earlier that day. read more

Holy crap. I have been dying to try this place and it did not disappoint. They make everything in front of you and some of the freshest, most delightful sushi I have had in a long time. Service and staff are helpful and efficient. Very cute inside but maybe sexier lighting. Overall I'll be dreaming about this place until I return. read more

Okay love love love this place. Had a trip to Dallas and was having a very difficult time deciding where to go for handrolls since this concept is still new to Chicago. I'm so glad we went here because it far exceeded my expectations. We actually went to happy hour before at uchi & was not that hungry so we split a set and I'm so pleased to see that the chef was able to split it for us too. Service and food was impeccable. Super welcoming. I was able to bring my infant along as well. Super fun place to go on a date or with friends. Easy parking lot as well. I wish Chicago could adopt more of this concept! read more

Amazing food, very high quality. Service is great. They don't offer reservations but it's likely due to limited seating. Well worth it though. I hope this place expands, they deserve it. read more

This is an amazing sushi bar that relies on the simple deliciousness of the fresh product. A small flare or two accentuates rather than overwhelms the fish. The aburi hamachi, kinmeda and ocean cream handroll were delicious!!! The service was attentive and friendly. And the restaurant itself was a picture of simplicity focusing on the relationship with the chef. Strongly recommend!! read more

If you're looking to high quality handrolls, look no further. Fresh fish, warm flavorful rice and crispy Nori...what more can you ask for? If you've been to KazuNori in LA or NYC, this is pretty close. Spicy tuna is prepared with a nutty/umami flavor with a nice little kick. Spicy salmon had a hint of truffle which was really nice. The bay scallops, yellowtail and salmon was all very fresh. The only thing I would change is the amount of rice in the handrolls. It's warm and seasoned, making you more. The sushi chefs are very attentive. They time the rolls perfectly so each one made right as you finish the last. It keeps the rice warm and the nori crispy which is imperative in my opinion. It all counter seating around the prep kitchen which is nice because you get to watch them while you eat. I went during lunch so it was empty but there aren't many seats so if you have a large party, you might have to wait. Parking is easily available. I'll definitely be back to try something from their extensive specials menu. read more

Naminohana - Spicy Tuna - Sushi Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

3.7 I absolutely love hatsuyuki. And this place is very very similar. My only complaint about this place was the lack of consistency each time I dined in. Hand rolls are yummy. The sizing of smoked salmon bellies vary by the chef possibly? It ranges from the siize of your pinky to a good size you'd expect ‍. The amount of pickled wasabi varies by the chef. Sometimes they'll give you a dab and another time they'll give you a tablespoon of it ‍. The freshness of the fish is not consistent. Majority of the time it's good. The parking situation is 10/10 better than hatsu. The wait time is also 10/10 better. read more

Naminohana - Madai carpaccio - Sushi Bars Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Apparently, the chef behind Hatsuyuki in Fort Worth, known for its consistently outstanding sushi, is now behind the newest sushi spot in Dallas - Naminohana. If you check the reviews, you'll see just how much people love Hatsuyuki. Not only that, but the Asian community and foodie community also highly recommend it based on its well-deserved reputation. So, when I found out that the chef opened a new establishment in Dallas, I knew I had to give it a try. The vedict? It's like experiencing Hatsuyuki but in Dallas. From the menu to the taste, the overall aesthetic, and the vibe, it feels like a seamless continuation. Considering the chef's previous success, Dallas is in for a treat with Naminohana. read more

I got so many more pieces than I posted in this review because they were so good I kept forgetting to take a picture before eating it! I've been here several times and it is absolutely hands down my favorite sushi spot in Dallas. It is incredibly fresh and authentic. The baked lobster handroll is such a delight. My favorite nigiri include the black cod, chutoro, and the yellowtail. They have a great sake selection as well. It's a small restaurant with only sushi bar seating. It's cozy and feels authentic. The service is pretty fast and it's fun watching the chefs prepare the pieces in front of you. I don't have a single negative thing to say about this place! Oh fyi, they don't take reservations so expect a bit of a wait read more

I absolutely despise pretentious food to be honest. I'm not just talking price, but places where you gotta know somebody to get a table or have qualifications to stuff your face. *cough**cough* Tatsu, Shoyo, Namo... Dallas already has enough of those buddy, buddy places. We needed an approachable bar, that doesn't compromise on quality. Now a review that is overdue: Naminohana is the best sushi spot in Dallas now. If you've been a fan of Hatsuyuki for awhile, you'll recognize some faces here. I don't know exactly what the relationship is beyond "we're close friends", but the restaurants are similar. That's a good thing though because I don't miss the drive to Ft. Worth. I feel the atmosphere and quality is better at Naminohana and it's local where I can just drop in for a fast casual lunch as easily as dinner. The quality of the dishes here are second to nobody around. Most of everything is flown in from Japan like other spots in town, but they also have a few domestic items like the Uni from Santa Barbara that I prefer. Even the usual stuff like tuna and salmon taste better here though. I have loved nearly everything I've tasted here, but my favorites at this point have got to be the akami (lean tuna) and chutoro (medium fatty tuna) nigiri. I also really love the gindara (black cod) and salmon belly nigiri, both of which get slightly torched for a charred exterior. My favorite plate of sashimi is the yellowtail with truffle salt. It's just so simple and nice to enjoy the fish. The madai carpaccio and salmon with truffle ponzu are also fantastic plates we order regularly. Like I said, you can't really go wrong with anything here. The caliber of service here is also excellent. I have to shout out my girls Emily and Mary for always providing a convenient experience. They're so good, they make it seem like everything just takes care of itself and you barely notice until they make good conversations. Everybody truly makes you feel welcome here and if you have any problems whatsoever it will be fixed. The only gripe I have as they continue to quickly grow in popularity is they are under wait staffed sometimes. When it gets busy, it gets busy. I've come a few times when it seems like they could use one more person. Those are just growing pains though, I'm sure they already know this. Overall, the quality of food and service here at a place where you can just sit down and eat and actually enjoy yourself is a winning combination. You don't have to put a deposit down and there's no dress codes to worry about. Just show up and stuff your face with some of the best Dallas has to offer. read more

All the fish was very fresh and everything tasted good. The salmon and truffle ponzu was one of my favorites I tried. Each piece of salmon was plump and flavorful. The quality of the nori was also quite nice. Service was quite slow the day I went as they actually ran out of rice and I had to wait until the rice was done. I felt the hand roll portions were small compared to other hand roll bars in the Dallas area but overall the quality was still great. read more

Stopped by Naminohana with my husband and some friends after hearing rave reviews from a bunch of people and learning that the same folks that run Hatsuyuki (one of our faves!) decided to open up this spot a bit closer to us. We live up in the Dallas suburbs so this is a lot more convenient than making a trek out to Fort Worth. Really happy that we tried Naminohana and looking forward to seeing how the place continues to grow. Since the place just opened recently but they've gotten quite a bit of hype, I didn't have a good understanding of how busy they might get on the weekends, so we arrived on Saturday about ten minutes before open (11AM) to secure a spot. We ended up being first in through the door and the place quickly filled up by around 11:15. I enjoy that the hand roll menu is super curated and straightforward - my husband and I decided to split three handrolls (they'll do the thing where they cut one hand roll in half if you're sharing with someone), and then we did a bunch of the daily specials since that's where a lot of the interesting fish was. In order, we ate: the salmon + mustard soy sashimi, the yellowtail + truffle salt sashimi, the madai carpaccio, a flight of nigiri each (salmon kombujime, seared salmon belly, kanpachi, seared nodoguro, seared ji-kinmedai), and then the crab, lobster, and eel hand rolls. The fish quality was incredible. Of this tier of handroll place in the DFW area, I'd say it's one of the best, at the very top, in terms of seafood freshness. We were amazed by the first bites of the salmon sashimi we took - the fish was so flavorful and creamy/tender, and it paired so well with the mustard soy. Definitely a must-order, I could've eaten that all day. The yellowtail was also super tender, and the madai had a bit of a chew but a very clean flavor as well. The nigiri were all thoughtfully presented and pretty delicious, but the rice is the reason I had to dock one star. Firstly, I tend to prefer my shari with a better balance of sweet and tangy, and the overwhelming flavor of the rice here was quite vinegar-y on this day. The level of flavor present in the rice was on point, but I prefer it slightly sweeter than what we had, at least with the nigiri. (I didn't notice this problem quite as much with the hand rolls, but we had some pretty flavorful fillings with the hand rolls, and the seaweed also tends to mask small imperfections in flavor and texture.) Also, some of the rice was slightly mushier than I'd like. I don't want it to be crunchy, obviously, but I prefer a slightly more al dente grain than what was given in some of the pieces we had on Saturday. I read a review on Google a few weeks ago that had an issue in the opposite direction (slightly harder rice than they would've liked) that also mentioned that in the soft opening phase they communicated that they were still working to perfect their rice recipe, so I'm hopeful that they'll figure this part out moving forward since it's such an essential part of the nigiri experience. Of the nigiri, my favorites were the nodoguro, the ji-kinmedai, and the salmon belly. The salmon belly is incredible value for what you get, so I highly recommend that. The hand rolls were great; of course real crab and lobster were used in those hand rolls, and the filling flavor was excellent. Loved the torched eel as well. Staff were very attentive and helpful, especially since we had a 2 year old with our party. Any time we accidentally dropped a chopstick they were ready with another pair for us to use, and the sushi chef at our corner of the bar happily made a crab hand roll ahead of time when requested for the baby. Interior of the place is really nice and we always love being able to watch the chefs at work preparing our food. Since this place is pretty conveniently located for us, I'm looking forward to coming back in the future! read more

Went back for a second time and it did not disappoint. The quality is outstanding and living in Dallas this place could not be anymore convenient for me. This is hands down my favorite sushi place in Dallas. Everything was basically 5/5. Madai + Yuzu 5/5 - it had a ponzu like sauce topped with kizami wasabi and scallions. My husband and I loved this one. Red crab 5/5 - was so delicious. I believe they brushed it with butter and torched it. Amaebi + uni 5/5 - I love sweet shrimp and uni so why not put them together. It was very sweet and rich at the same time. Shima aji 5/5 - I loved mackerel nigiri and this one is one of my favorites. Chutoro 5/5 - this one is always going to be good. The right amount of fattiness. Handrolls 5/5 - all of their handrolls are nice and I love their sushi rice. Everything else we had was also amazing. I hope this place stays because I will be returning soon. Overally, very reasonable price for the quality and even better for the location! read more

It was really good! Came around 5-10 minutes early because we heard there was a wait, and sure enough, people were already lining up by the time we pulled up. It's extremely reminiscent of Kazunori, which is one of my favorite handroll places, so I was excited to see how Naminohana would compare. They don't let you make any substitutions to their sets, so I just got an extra spicy tuna. It was super fancy looking lol. The fish was really fresh and service was decently fast! I felt a bit rushed though to pay and go -- as soon as we finished our last bite, we were basically presented with the check. Maybe because it's busy? I'd definitely come back though, but this isn't a place to go with a large group of people, so I'd keep that in mind. read more
