The menu was extensive and had so many great options for meat and sushi. We order so many things and everything was delicious. Sushi was fresh and meats were tender!

I would recommend the place to anyone has a great all you can eat option!

It had spinach, which wasn't traditional, but I enjoyed it all the same. The chashu was good (my only complaint is that I was having trouble biting it off!), the broth was rich, and the noodles had good texture. Plus it was slightly cheaper than other ramen in the area! The vibe was cute, mildly traditional ramen shop with Ghibli movies playing and smelling great. I'd say the service was a little slow and inattentive as my only complaint. I'll for sure be bringing others back!

Great dishes as usual! Added a tiny bit of salt to get ramen to be rich and more flavorful~!…read more Service was okay, wish it was like Japan where you order and grab a seat. Only time we saw waiter was ordering, dropping off food/water, and the check. Still, some of the best ramen

Overall - amazing katsus reminding me of my time in Japan…read more The clean, minimal environment with a cute toy crane and shelf of miscellaneous available for purchase make you feel like you've teleported to Japan. The spicy chicken katsus sauce blended nicely with the creamy sauce in the coleslaw - absolutely divine. The strawberry ube cream was quite filling and full of the ube flavor and fresh strawberries. I really enjoyed both and would get it again. The staff was also super friendly which is always a win. My only advice is to use milk bread for the bread - otherwise amazing katsus sandwiches!

Plano is close by and what I love about Yama in Plano is their specials. My work bestie and I love trying out their specials. We've tried so many great things on the menu. I strongly recommend the specials; whelk clam nigiri and soy butter rice octopus! They're giving "tenderism." An amazing classic is also the Teardrop roll. Salmon, tuna, yellowtail, with jalapeños and kizami. Chef's kiss. Melanie is also very kind and knows everyone as well. She's super well rounded. Food and service is great!

Alaskan Roll: A classic roll that's perfect for salmon lovers. The price is standard for sushi in the area, and the portion size is generous. The roll was very fresh with great flavor. Eel Roll: This roll was good but definitely on the smaller side. However, it was still fresh, and the sauce was tasty. Chirashi: This dish was just okay. I'd recommend sticking to the rolls instead of the bowl. It came with one piece of each type of fish, almost like a sampler with a lot of rice.

My husband found Robata & Sushi EBESU on Instagram, and it immediately caught his eye. We…read moreabsolutely love Japanese cuisine and are always adventurous when it comes to trying new places, especially when they are highly recommended. Having lived in Hawaii, we ate sushi, sashimi, and poke on a regular basis. Finding spots like this allows us to create new memories while also feeling a bit nostalgic for the flavors we love. We might have gone a little overboard, but everything was incredible! We ordered the Crunchy Eel Roll, Hamachi Nigiri, and Tuna Nigiri, along with two of the EBESU Course menus. My husband had the Chirashi Don and I went with the Toro Tekka Don. Love, love, love. As you can see, it was a lot of food, but every single piece was cooked and cut to perfection. The dishes are very easy to share, and I think next time we'll lean into that more so we can sample even more of the menu. If you are looking for authentic, high-quality Japanese food, this is the place to go!

It was tender and juicy, absolutely melt in your mouth juicy. I was expecting a small piece of salmon belly, but it was a generous portion. I'll definitely reorder this next time. I also ordered the grilled salmon plate, which came with a much smaller piece of salmon. I was surprised the salmon portion was so small compared to the salmon belly and mackerel plate. The salmon did taste great at least. My bf got pork katsu and he liked it. I tried the katsu and it was good. My bf thinks the curry sauce was good, but not as good as Coco's. My friend got the mackerel plate, and the mackerel tasted great too. It was also a generous portion of mackerel.

This isn't the kind of Japanese restaurant where you come for sushi or ramen. It's really more like comfort food and street food. Things like omurice, takoyaki, hot dogs (yes hot dogs and they're delicious), yakisoba, and my favorites: their curry and okonomiyaki pancake. TLDR: An excellent study spot with good food, good drinks, and good vibes. Highly recommend.

I have been here twice already, and I have tried their curry & their kids meal. The curry is fairly standard, I do wish the rice was a little fluffier. However, the kids meal was so cute! The rice came out shaped as a panda!! The second time I came here was for a photoshoot. The staff was so sweet and accommodating! I was given the okay when asking for permission, and I believe the employee that helped me out was named Rin. Thank you for ensuring I had a good experience at the cafe!!

I got the Bulgogi bento, and all of it was just okay. The edamame was actively kind of flavorless, the bulgogi was sweeter than I would prefer with way more veggies than actual meat, and everything was just kind of alright rather than standout. Bf generally liked his sushi but said he'd gotten better elsewhere. The reason I bump this to 4 star instead of 3 is due to the waitress bringing out two additional dishes for free to our group. These two were generally popular among the group, though I personally didn't like them. I don't think it was gross or anything, but I felt it was average for what I'm used to.

HIDDEN GEM! This place is a sleeper hit waiting to blow up. i can't believe this place is in…read moreAddison. If this was located in downtown Dallas it would make way more sense. I've been to Michelin starred omakases (including tempura omakases) in Japan and New York, and this place honestly meets or comes extremely close to fitting the bill in terms of food and service. At the Michelin restaurants, you pay almost double the price for high quality ingredients, stellar service, ambiance, and a Japanese toilet :P For $100 pp for the tempura omakase at Takumi Hachi, you leave feeling full and satisfied, with a great selection of light and deliciously fried fritters. Each person gets a bowl of their divinely delicious tempura sauce with a generous amount of shaved daikon (not even lying when i say this is my favorite tempura sauce i've had, i could've just drank it on its own) and a selection of salts, with each course given a recommendation of which salt to use. In terms of ambiance: frankly speaking, if it was just the counter service omakase, i'd say it would feel more stuffy and unapproachable. But there is a general seating area that is not counter service where you can order off the menu for sushi, robata, and a la carte options. No dress code enforced or recommended, so you can be dining with all sorts of patrons with different sizes of families and children. whether or not this is your jam, it's still an extremely accessible place to dine for anyone and everyone. Reservations were incredibly easy to make (tempura omakase only From Sunday thru Thursday). Service was really kind and attentive, my husband's water literally never went below half empty. The only thing to take service to the next level is if they cleaned/wiped your plate/gave you a new plate between each course. American toilet. Lol. That's neither here nor there, but the bathroom is very clean lol! They were also sweet enough to read my reservation note for the occasion for dining and gifted us a delicious strawberry mousse, accompanied with a surprise tableside matcha to end the meal. I'm already looking forward to try their kaiseki set meal next time, and know that this place is a top contender to take my friends or loved ones for special occasions. I can't speak much for their sushi, but I added on some robata and grill menu items to the omakase and they were fantastic. Highly recommend the maitake mushroom tempura add on to your course. If you order ebi sushi, they offer to take the head once you're done eating the sushi and either put it in a miso soup or fry it for you, which i thought was a wonderful option. Also, we got tempura anago, something I've never had anywhere else, served two different ways. That alone was enough to make this experience stand out. For an experience like I had tonight, I felt as if the restaurant should be more full. Maybe because it is tucked away behind the other chain restaurants in Addison that are a little easier to see. Don't hesitate if you see the price tag, I definitely think you get a great value for food, service, and experience. We were there for two hours and enjoyed it very much. Thank goodness i don't have to drive all the way to downtown Dallas to enjoy some delicious Japanese food without the headache and hassle of finding parking and an accessible reservation.

The clay pot was actually a huge portion as both of us ended up getting two bowls worth. Pacing of the meal was solid, kept it moving but didn't feel rushed at all. We were celebrating a birthday and they gave us a sweet treat as well at the end which was so appreciated! Would definitely recommend for a special occasion
