The food here was INCREDIBLE and well worth the wait. To be transparent, I did wait almost an hour…read morearound dinner time (7pm). The inside is tiny and there isn't even a proper "waiting" area. I've also tried coming here before, and there was also a long wait. I'm glad I decided to stick it out this time. We ordered the Wagyu sushi, Yakitori, Tonkotsu Miso Ramen, and the Tomato Ramen. The Wagyu sushi is torched right in front of you! The Wagyu was incredibly tender and the sauce was delicious. My only *nitpicky* critique is the rice was ever so slightly too moist, but that didn't stop me from inhaling the sushi. Next, the Yakitori was phenomenal. I've never had such tender chicken in my life. There was a nice layer of delicious sauce coating the skewer. Again, just a really nitpicky feedback I have was that I wish the Yakitori had the tiniest bit more char to it, but nevertheless was an incredible bite, and I'd 100% order again in a heartbeat. Onto the ramen - easily hands down one of the best ramen I've had in DFW. The broth is flavorful, and I love the noodles. I'm not sure if they're handmade from scratch, but they had the perfect thickness and chewiness. I also loved generous the portion of cha shu slices. Most other places only give you 1-2 thin slices, but that was not the case here. The pork was tender. The ajitama was solid too, although I prefer more of a soft-boiled egg. While the meat portion is more generous here, the tonkotsu didn't come with many vegetables. A lot of other ramen places I've been to will have corn, fried garlic, etc as default, but those are all additional cost add-ons here. The ramen was delicious without them though but just something to note. We also got the tomato ramen as it's the chef recommendation. The dish is very creative and the execution was great. Personally, I still prefer traditional ramens but it was certainly a nice culinary creation to try. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place and would come here again. Just be aware there may be a wait, and because they're so busy, you do have to proactively flag down staff. However, the staff are still really nice despite all the tasks they're juggling at once.

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! Ambiance is also super chill especially if you're getting off a shift late at night!

The energy was good and the staff was very nice, very attentive. The menu was great(no AYCE) but great options, nonetheless. The Kalbi was absolutely satisfying. It was hot, tender and juicy (I was starving) the rainbow was good - I typically like when. They throw in some sweet shrimp. Most of the fishes on top were good. I'm a huge fan of unagi - it's not the best I've had but it was fantastic. They are open late and that is the best part.

Kisses xoxoxoxo I love this place. My boyfriend said I was over exaggerating about this place but…read moreprofusely apologized after the first bite. I went the day before Thanksgiving and the japanese chef was a one man show. He was the only one running the establishment because everyone else had left to go to Japan for the holiday. He is so so so so nice. I don't go back to restaurants very often but this place has my heart. This time I got the spicy pork ramen (17), spicy garlic chicken ramen (18), and then got the spicy garlic pork ramen (19) togo. I will say it is a little bit salty, with the garlic ones being more salty than the non garlic ones. However the garlic ones do have more flavor. There's not that much meat/protein either just one piece of meat and an egg. The could be slightly better but it's still good. It also just has bamboo shoots but nothing else. A very simple bowl. Ambiance is nice, it feels upscale but also homey at the same time. They have an open kitchen concept which I like.

I got Spicy garlic pork ramen. I liked the broth. It was tasty and not too heavy. The pork was…read moredelicious, but it was buried at the bottom of the bowl and had broken into smaller pieces. I had to dig for it. I know they probably put the meat at the bottom so it'll warm up with the broth, but I prefer it at the top. The egg was whole and cooked so it was a little runny inside, which I liked. I also liked the noodles. Unrelated to the food, I sat on the bench and there was a customer sitting on the bench beside me. She kept shifting around and causing the entire bench to move, which I didn't like.

As a ramen lover and someone…read morewho's been to a lot of ramen places throughout DFW, I must say, Hanabi manages to keep quality up there. It's not my favorite spot, but it's convenient whenever I'm at Fort Worth craving for ramen. I highly recommend this over Wabi House, and certainly over any of the ramen wannabe restaurants throughout Arlington and Euless. The good stuff: whenever I visit, staff was always welcoming, friendly and prompt. Food doesn't take a while to come out, and it's always hot and fresh. Noodles are wavy and thick, and the soup is delicious. Keep in mind their broths taste saltier than other ramen places, but I personally don't mind. The one thing I have qualms with is how they do the meat; the chashu is too chewy for my preferences. Service is always great. I'll be coming back whenever I'm around town.

Honestly, this was the first place I ever tried ramen, so it's got a bit of nostalgia for me. After…read moretrying a lot of different spots over the years, though, I can say it doesn't really hold up as the best anymore.

My coworkers were raving about this "all you can eat" sushi joint called - "Japan House" that was…read morenot too far from our hotel, so after work a bunch of da fellas jumped into my small Toyota Corolla rental & headed over to Japan House for sushi. As a former fan of "all you can eat" buffets, I noticed as I've gotten older, I'm no longer a fan of "all ya can eat", but hangin' out with da fellas is fun. What can I say about Japan House? 1. The restaurant had an extensive sushi menu for all you can eat. 2. Exceptional service! Our waitress was very attentive, she kept checking up on us and placed our food orders quickly. After placing the food order, the food came out quickly. 3. This restaurant was one of the first restaurants that used an electronic robot. The robot machine brought out the simple items, and I even saw the robot sing "Happy Birthday" to a restaurant patron. 4. The restaurant is casual, and pretty dark inside. 5. The sushi quality is about "middle of the road", not the best, but far from bad. What do you expect for all you can eat? Check out my pics..... And if ya gotta ask, YES......all that food pics I took, I actually ate all that food. I swear when I got back to the hotel, I was in total kanak attack (Hawaiian Paralysis). Lol!

So I came here for the first time because I was craving some Japanese food, sushi, and all that…read moregood stuff. I looked through the reviews and found Japan House. I'm glad I went; they are an all-you-can-eat restaurant. When you arrive, you're greeted by the host, then seated, and they explain the menu and prices, which are actually quite reasonable. They are open from 11:00 to 14:30 for lunch, then reopen at 16:30 to close. The place looks amazing, decorated in authentic Japanese style. Huy, my server, was just fantastic. He explained how everything works and had this great energy about him. He even helped with some recommendations: the Ocean, 911 roll, and the Hot Night roll--all of which are amazing, so I recommend trying those. Also, if you go, ask for Huy. I'll definitely be back to try more because, you know, you can only eat so much, LOL!!!

The staff was friendly, we were seated immediately even though they were busy. The decor is cute and clean. They have a bar and desserts too. This is not from the house so we will definitely be back.

The cars kind of block it, so you just have to commit and trust you are not in the wrong place. Once you get inside though, it is actually really cute and cozy. Also had a funny moment walking in like... where are my Asian people at? It is small but has a few different seating vibes. A sushi bar if you want something more low key, some dimly lit tables, and a brighter dining area where I landed. No outdoor seating, but it stays busy which was surprising given the location. Menu looked like it might be tough for a vegan at first glance, but my server was super knowledgeable and made it easy. I ended up with seaweed salad, cucumber salad, edamame, roasted brussels sprouts, and a tofu style poke bowl situation that was actually really good. Green tea was solid too. Only note is if you like spice, you have to ask for it because it is very mild on its own. It is a little pricier than expected for the setting, I was around $40 for lunch, and service was great. I also ended up chatting with a regular who basically treats it like his go to spot, which says a lot. Not a mind blown moment, but definitely a solid 4 star, would go back.
