    We enjoyed this place though getting a reservation was challenging even on a weekday. Make sure you make reservations. We would've loved to sit outside but we weren't presented with that option so we had to sit at the bar, which was okay but would've loved to sit outside since we were going to a rooftop restaurant. We started with a salmon crudo which was very good along with a couple of cocktails. Our rolls were fresh and very good as well but nothing super memorable. We enjoyed the nikuya cut and golden bite but did not like the cowboy kiss at all compared to popular opinion, we thought it had an unpleasant crunch. Service overall was very good, we would return here and try to sit outside for a better experience.

    This is such an amazing "hidden gem" that I'm sure won't be hidden much longer. We were lucky to score 2 seats on a Friday night which is not easy and without reservations nearly impossible. (The view from the top at night is ) We were greeted by an amazing staff at the top of the Sinclair Hotel and were seated with a front row seat to the chefs work. The sake and cocktail menu is incredible and the staff is extremely knowledgeable on both the drinks and the food. The menu isn't super expansive which means that they do amazing work in every single piece that is sent from the chef. Every single thing we had was bursting with flavors and textures. The edamame hummus was like nothing I'd ever experienced. The handrolls were fresh. The sushi was the perfect portions. You MUST try the oysters. Even if the usual "fishy" oysters aren't your thing, the foam and trout roe make each bite an incredible mouth adventure. With them only being open 6 weeks, it was incredible to see how efficient and expert everyone was at their stations already. My wife is Gluten Free and they were so helpful in coordinating with the chef as the what could be prepared GF without compromising our experience. It did NOT disappoint. In fact the staff told us that we were helpful in curating future menus and denoting "gf" on the menu for future guests. The next time we are in Funky Town we will Definitely be getting a reservation here.

    We decided to have a girls night and check out this restaurant located at the top of The Sinclair hotel. Baby... let me tell you; this place was absolute fire! We tried nearly the whole menu (literally, we may have missed maybe 3 dishes and there wasn't a single miss). The Rich Daddy stole the entire show -- and was easily the best thing we ate. I'm already planning my return so I can order about 7,282,929 more. The rolls were great, the nigiri sushi was fresh, the appetizers slapped, and the drinks all were good. (I think I just found my new favorite old fashioned) Huge shoutout to our server, Hannah -- she was fantastic. She was attentive and extremly friendly and made the whole night even better. My girlfriends and I have been ranting and raving about this place nonstop, and we will definitely be coming back.

    We had an incredible experience at the new rooftop sushi restaurant on top of the Sinclair Hotel in downtown Fort Worth. Parking is easy with either street parking or the Sinclair's valet. Be sure to stop by the Wicked Butcher host stand first as you'll need to be escorted to the elevator for access up. Once you step off the elevator, your reservation is confirmed and you're guided to either the patio or the indoor sushi bar. We booked patio seating, got cooler throughout the evening, but the staff were very accommodating with moving us closer to a nearby fire pit. Inside seating is limited, so reservations are a must. We booked through the RESY app, which was super simple and even sent reminders a few days ahead and on the day of. You can note allergies or celebrations in the app, though the staff will confirm again once you're seated. Our server, Hannah, was fantastic. Very knowledgeable of the menu and perfectly attentive. She paced each dish beautifully throughout the night and made the whole experience feel special. You're welcomed with a complimentary glass of bubbles and the chef's amuse-bouche, which is such a classy touch. Now for the food--we tried nearly the entire menu and everything was fresh, presented beautifully and full of flavor: Appetizers Scallop Crudo Oysters Tuna Tartare (favorite!) Handrolls Juicy Pop Crabby Hands Rich Daddy (favorite!) Makimono Sweet Escape Nikuya Cut (favorite!) The Sinclair Cowboy Kiss (on the house due to a nearby table's order mix-up--very kind gesture) Nigiri Hamachi Chutoro A friend ordered one of each off the Nigiri menu and said everything she tried was excellent as well. We still have a few items left to explore, and we're already planning our next visit to experience Omakase style at the sushi bar. Highly recommend for the stunning views, memorable dishes, and top-tier service. Fort Worth truly needed this addition.

    Date Night at Nikuya Rooftop = Perfection Nikuya Rooftop gave romance and good food energy all night. The sushi was so fresh and buttery it almost stole the show from my date. Every roll was a hit -- clean flavors, beautiful presentation, and that melt-in-your-mouth moment that just makes you close your eyes and smile. The rooftop vibe was dreamy, the lighting was flattering (bless them), and the service was on point. It felt like the perfect mix of elegant and fun -- the kind of place that makes a date feel special without trying too hard. If you're looking for a spot that makes the whole night feel elevated, this is it. 10/10 sushi, 10/10 ambiance, 10/10 date night.

    Toma-tini. Not on the menu but if Jada is behind the bar ask for this!

    Don't miss this spot! The rooftop vibe is unbeatable, and the menu showcases a perfect blend of quality and creativity, all served by a passionate team. Every dish on this menu is a winner. We enjoyed the tuna tartar, Rich Daddy, The Butcher, Cowboy Kiss, Golden Bite, and a couple of off-menu surprises. Each was fantastic--we couldn't decide on a favorite.

    Was excited to try it out. Sat on rooftop, perfect weather, complimentary bubbly and little appetizers. But was disappointed in the dishes. Relatively bland. Some ingredients were missing or replaced. Things said chili or wasabi and had zero spice. Nice, attentive servers.

    Absolutely everything is delicious. Love coming here. i'm super bad about choosing something so literally just tell the chef to keep it coming until we're full, does not disappoint.!

    This is such a cute place and perfect for date night. They don't have a ton of roll options, but they taste is delicious. The service was outstanding and friendly. The atmosphere was relaxing and elegant. Absolutely recommend. You can't beat the views either!

    Great place to eat - if you eat at the sushi bar! The salmon crudo was the best thing ever.... The sauce was unbelievable!!! Like hard to even explain how amazing it was. The cowboy kiss I did not want because of the salmon skin - but it was my second favorite thing. Golden bite was great! Crabby hands really good. Wasn't a fan of the 2 specials we ordered - but my husband liked them. Bar tender/waitress was gre

    Salmon Crudo

    My friend and I went to Nikuya Rooftop and really enjoyed our experience! The ambience was beautiful. Our waitress was attentive and timing was great. The Salmon Crudo and Tuna Tartare were recommended by our waitress for appetizers and they did not disappoint! We ordered the Cowboy Kiss and Rich Daddy hand rolls as our main and both were fantastic. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. Also-- I highly recommend the Trinity Lychee Blossom drink if you like Lychee martinis.

    Amazing service. I was looking for a great view and quality sushi and I found it ! It was a great experience as well as a welcoming environment and great vibes and a good house music selection. This is exactly what I was looking for. Food was even more amazing. Highly recommend A5 Wagyu roll & nigiri ! Cowboy kiss and yellow tail was amazing .

    Food: we did the tasting menu, we had the best time! Service: THE STAFF IS SO KIND! Drinks: pls get the lychee blossom it's one of the best cocktails I've ever had Ambiance: dark moody edgy sexy

    Hatsuyuki Handroll Bar is a Japanese hand roll restaurant that focuses on fresh seafood,…read moremade-to-order sushi, and a more interactive dining experience. We walked into a space centered around sitting at the bar and watching the chefs prepare each hand roll in front of us, which gave the meal a more personal feel compared to a traditional sushi restaurant. The setup is smaller and more intimate, making the experience feel closer to a sushi bar rather than a casual meal spot. The biggest highlight is the quality of the fish and the hand rolls themselves. The seafood tastes fresh, clean, and carefully prepared, with options like salmon belly, otoro, kanpachi, and crab hand rolls standing out. We ordered a few different rolls and found each one well executed, with the fish having a clean, bright flavor that did not rely on heavy sauces or toppings. Each roll is made individually, so the nori stays crisp and the textures come through better than pre-made sushi. The menu has a good balance of classic choices and more creative combinations, making it easy to try different flavors throughout the meal. The chef interaction adds another layer to the visit. Since everything is prepared right in front of you, we could see the attention put into each piece, from assembling the ingredients to serving it at the right moment. The chefs were precise in their movements and took the time to explain the different fish and flavor profiles, which made the meal feel more like an experience rather than just ordering sushi off a menu. One thing to plan for is the wait. Hatsuyuki does not take reservations, and the popularity means there can be a significant line during busy hours. We arrived earlier and found it helped us avoid a longer wait. Seating is limited, but that also helps maintain the quality and atmosphere of the restaurant. The intimate size of the bar means the service stays focused and the pacing remains personal, even when the restaurant is full. Hatsuyuki Handroll Bar is one of the stronger sushi experiences in the area for anyone who enjoys fresh seafood and a more curated dining style. The wait can be a downside, but the quality of the fish, chef preparation, and overall atmosphere make it worth visiting, especially if you are looking for something beyond standard sushi rolls. The focus on craftsmanship and the personal interaction with the chefs elevate the meal into something more memorable than a typical sushi stop.

This was our second time, and it was completely packed within 10 minutes of opening for lunch. The waiter mentioned that they also have an omakase which I plan to do next time, but unfortunately we didn't have the time. First time I came I only ordered the hand roll combos which were ok, but the nigiri and the sashimi is where this places really shines!! We loved every piece of sashimi and nigiri we ordered. Unfortunately this place is pretty expensive, so even after a pricey meal, we still left hungry! Be prepared to spend if you eat lot but it will be worth it because it is so delicious!

Pros: Peter, the owner and chef, greeted our table and told us his sushi specials, which are flown in special from Tokyo every Friday so they change weekly. We had the o-toro, chu-toro, aji, and fluke, and all were amazing quality and you got a lot of fish for the price. They have a lot of sushi combos and platters to service a variety of sizes of parties. We had the sushi combo which was plenty of fish, especially with the cut sizes. Wait staff was very attentive and helpful with the menu. Cons: the entrance is a little off putting but you shouldn't let that deter you. the french menu was lacking in my opinion. There is only one page of options, and we ended up not ordering anything french since the japanese was so appealing. I would've liked to see some seafood or more small plates. Overall the fish quality and piece sizes will keep me coming back! I definitely want to try some of the hot plate options as well. add it to your list!
