Very attractive well designed and decorated venue. My wife and I had Temaki rolls and shrimp tempura. Food was just ok but expensive for what you get. Drinks were very expensive. House sake was $12 for a modest serving. I would not recommend the cocktails especially the Old Fashioned at $20 and with tip and tax that works out to be more than $25! I thought that it might be special at that price but it was "thimble" sized with a large block of ice and not much liquid. The same drink at an upscale steak house would be more than twice the size at less cost. Overall the total bill was not worth the experience. BTW Yelp does not display the usual number of dollar signs denoting how expensive the restaurant is. Be prepared for an expensive bill unless you skip the alcohol and have a modest amount to eat. read more

Yujo I will start out saying I have eaten at numerous sushi establishments all over the country including Nobu, Uchi, and others east coast to west. Yujo now is my favorite. The food is absolutely delicious. Service was so hospitable and knowledgeable. The restaurant itself is beautiful and welcoming. The simplicity of the entrance and name is what first caught my eye. The name is so unique. It was very busy on Friday night. I would advise making reservations on the weekends. App based is through Tock App or you can call. I just ordered randomly of the menu everything was amazing, but next time I will be trying the chiefs course meal. The cocktails are great. I had the Karahi and am still in wow of the wasabi salt rim. I am an UBER driver and all can seem to talk about it Yujo. I can't wait to go back! read more

The ambiance is good, but the quality of the food is subpar. We did the omakase and were generally disappointed in the quality of some of the dishes-- the nigiri was good, but everything else was underwhelming. The dessert, in particular, was inedible. Try Uchi/Uchiko instead, or go to Tatsumi in Austin. read more

Went during soft opening, and really enjoyed my time there. I dined in for dinner with my sister and we both got the miyabi omakase course + some. Everything was so so good and the atmosphere was very classy and aesthetically pleasing. Lighting is incredible for photos and the staff, including the owner, checked in on us often. Definitely have to try the aged fish that they are being known for! Prices are on the higher side. But if you want to splurge on some really good sushi, I recommend you come here! Will definitely be back again. read more

I normally travel to Dallas to try sushi restaurants and is crazy because everyone say Houston has better sushi. But I still prefer Dallas. I stumble upon this place and wasn't really expecting much. Upon walking in it was a really cute small sushi restaurant. The ambiance is very relax. I'm a normal Tito and soda gal but after looking at the interesting cocktail list I had to order one. Let's just say it was so good that I had to order a couple more. Sushi was really fresh and the mix of flavor for the sushi was well balanced. Let's just say I was very impressed. Not to mention the sushi chef Hoang and Meo were very outgoing and interactive. I would definitely come back on my next visit. read more

This is the place that broke my omakase cherry. This place definitely set the standard high for me. The 75$ omakase was a good start. The Kyoto Matcha IPA is a must have. The owner was nice and friendly and he also hooked it up with some king crab and salmon belly! Very nicely decorated also. read more

I've had a few friends come here, and I was envious of their Instagram posts so I finally gave it a try. This place rivals Uchi and Uchi is my favorite sushi restaurant in Dallas. I would even argue to say that the fish selection here seems more fresh and bigger and portion sizes. I opted for the omakase menu and every single item delighted me. I was skeptical that I would be full towards the end, but I was wrong. Each dish that came out was more impressive than the last and the service was impeccable. Yujo is the perfect place for a date night, celebration or business dinner. The venue is quaint and cozy with lots of wood and original paintings. Five stars everyday! read more

We went for our anniversary and really wanted to like it but it was just not all there. We had the tokujo omakase at $160. Don't get me wrong, the food was not bad. It just was not spectacular which is what one would expect given the price and marketing. The place checked all the boxes for ingredients: oysters, lots of uni, scallop, shrimp, Toro, etc. Some of the fish was a little grisly and the sake paring was out of sync. For example, the first sake was supposed to go well with oysters and the second with sushi. The second sake came out before the first dish ever came out. Oops. The sushi chefs don't serve you sushi the way they do at the more serious sushi bars. They are all making sushi on an assembly line and you just happen to be sitting at the bar instead of at a table. One of the chefs was obviously struggling to cut their fish evenly. The chefs had never met the owners. Compare to a place like Tatsu where each course is prepared with care and presented to each patron dining at the bar and the Wasabi is grated fresh. We would come back with friends to have a nice meal but would probably not order omakase here again. read more

Last night I enjoyed the Japanese experience here in Dallas. Being a hamburger fries guy, I rarely eat raw fish, or even think about. My 16 course meal with two sushi loving friends was out of this country great. The service was even better. The Yujo decor puts you in Japan as soon as you walk in. The sake server explains the drinks and how each pairs with the next serving. Do yourself a favor, and go today. Kendall read more

This place is small but intimate, offering a Japanese restaurant feel. However, the food was quite average with nothing standing out. The Omakase lacked chef interaction, and none of the dishes were explained, making it feel like a conveyor belt experience. Given the price point, expectations were low. This restaurant is part of the same group as Kyodai, but I'm unsure why it was rebranded. The location in Frisco was nearly empty on a Friday evening, which I suspect reflects the lack of anything special about it. I had a brief conversation with the owner (or manager) about the Hibiki 21. He explained that I had to order the whole bottle, which seemed unreasonable for a party of two at a restaurant. He then mentioned the rarity and difficulty of purchasing Hibiki 21 and warned about counterfeits, which was ironic given the unusually large display of Hibiki 21 bottles at the restaurant, making me question their authenticity. Overall, the service was sub-par, the food was okay, and the drinks were unremarkable. read more

Will definitely be coming back! Cozy ambience. Friendly , efficient service. High quality fish and very tasty sushi rice. Still has to work out timing and sequence of bringing out the dishes but I think they are doing a great job for being 3-week old restaurant! P.S. the bar seats are really way too low in relation to the countertop height. read more

Super fresh fish, attentive staff, well balanced menu. Must order: Brussels Any of the Specialty temaki Toro temaki read more

The food wasn't bad, although I could go to Uchi and spend about the same amount of money and get much tastier food. The hours on Yelp and Google are wrong, and I looked for their hours on the website and didn't find anything. Before 8:30 I was told it was last call, which was frustrating. When I asked what their normal business hours were, they said they close around 9-ish on weekdays, but it depends on how busy the place is. There were only 2 other people there, so the staff wanted to close early I guess. read more

Had the pleasure of visiting Dallas' newest addition to the growing omakase scene! Located within the Preston Valley shopping center, Yūjō's unique exterior is sure to catch your eye. The interior is equally appealing to the eye, making for a great first impression! If you make a reservation, request the sushi bar so you can watch the chefs work their magic. My family and I were seated at the bar, where we did their $75 13 course Miyabi omakase. It's designed to be an entry-level omakase, but don't let the price fool you, as they definitely don't cut corners on the quality of the fish! Each course was a skillful fusion of high quality fish and balanced toppings. My personal favorites were the gindara (black cod), soy marinated salmon belly, and the kanpachi (amberjack). Perhaps their biggest selling point is their offering of dry-aged fish-- the first ones to do so in Dallas! Their dry-aged fish is available as part of their higher tier omakase, as well as a-la-carte, and is definitely worth trying. Yūjō presents a fresh approach to omakase, with two options at a reasonable price, high quality ingredients, and unique offerings, all within a cozy and stylish interior. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Definitely had a wonderful dining experience at Yujo! My table decided to try the omakase special (which was reasonably priced for a 13-course meal), and it was an absolute delight. Each course was a culinary masterpiece and was beautifully presented. I was truly impressed with the creativity and freshness of each dish. The service was impeccable too, not to mention the ambiance was so welcoming. The servers and the manager were benevolent and attentive. Highly recommend and will definitely be a regular customer here! read more

Hidden gem! Cant believe this is in Far North Dallas. Our choice over Uchi. Reasonably priced as well.

I came out of the shadows to write this review because the owners have been nothing but friendly and nice despite what other patrons were writing about. We were lucky enough to beat the crowd during their soft opening, but if you have the chance definitely give this place a try to fill your sushi crave. Started my evening with the old fashioned made with Suntori toki whiskey and had the Brussels sprouts to start with and was enough to share with few others. For my main meal I just went with 4 hand rolls of which I went with 2 spicy tuna and 2 salmon. Really simple, really good. As I can't eat too much anymore, I save my stomach space for quality food and this was worth it. Hopefully you can put down much more than this lightweight. read more

12 out of 10 would recommend and come again!! This place is one of the first DFW omakase restaurant with dry aged fish! I got the 16 course omakase and I left so full! The staff is super attentive and very friendly! read more

Fantastic omakase experience. There was a pleasant variety to the courses and it was well thought out. One of the best omakase experiences I've had. The general manager was also very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back! read more

Definitely wanted to love this place. Local, family-owned, and all that, but it was just not that good. Positives: - Beautiful and intimate interior. well designed, great for small groups 6-8. Quiet and easy to hold conversation. - Staff was very attentive. Explained dishes well, but not particularly helpful with recommendations or alterations. Staff was very attentive all night. - Presentation. All food was presented well. Great plate appeal.Clear thought and ingenuity was put into the preparation and presentation of each dish. Negatives: - Lack of flavor. Simply put nothing had much flavor. It was not the delicate flavor of the dishes that was lost on me, it just there was no interesting components to the dishes. Literally, dish after dish (13 course omakase) and the resounding feedback from our group was...meh (and there were some clear misses like oyster + qual egg). - Price for quality. Not terribly less than Uchi and miles apart in quality and flavor and have had better sushi at any number of other strip mall sushi spots (Rock n'Roll, Mr. Sushi, etc.). Definitely expected more based on the ratings. Maybe an off night but I doubt it. Could be a special place if there was substance to the dishes. read more

5 star evening! Stumbled upon this Preston & 635 gem recently. Would go back in a heartbeat! Great sake, service, and unique flavor options. Best of luck team! read more

The best sushi in Dallas. Hands down! The tasting menu is absolutely must. You can thank me later.

This place has the best sushi in the DFW area. I went with my family and it was amazing. The environment is beautiful and the staff was so nice. I will definitely recommend for anyone who likes raw fish as well as those that do not as this place will certainly change your mind! Never having Kroger sushi again. read more

Amazing food loved the ambiance did not feel Ike a place in Dallas. Food quality and taste on point.

Came here on a Saturday evening and I was surprised it wasn't packed! The employees were all friendly and attentive. Everything came out rather quickly, and we were out in about 45 minutes (fastest fancy sushi dinner I've ever had)! All the sushi was absolutely delicious and fresh. Was a very relaxed and chill place. Will definitely go back! read more

I came to Yujo shortly after it opened, looking forward to a new omakase experience. Upon walking in the ambience of the restaurant is very nice. The manager immediately came to greet us, and even though we had no reservation, he was still extremely accommodating. The seating was nice, lighting was good, and you have just enough space for yourself. The waitresses, manager, and chefs are all very polite and well informed on the menu. The food itself was amazing, as was the presentation, and honestly a steal at these prices. If you enjoy Omakase, I highly recommend you give Yujo a chance. read more

Delicious FRESH sushi!! So so good, reminded me of a cute spot in nyc- not too big and very cute vibe! Get all the sashimi and yellowtail hand rolls you can! Also, drinks are very nicely made and unique! read more

I think I'd give this place 3.5 stars. It was amazing but also disappointing at the same time. Let me explain. We had come here with friends on a whim one Sunday night. There was no seating available at the bar so we sat at the table. We love sushi and know the bar experience is the most ideal for the freshest sushi and nori. The food was good, but we knew that to get the full experience, we needed to come back. So, we booked a reservation at the bar for the following weekend for the omakase. This is where the amazing but also disappointing comes into play. Amazing: - Seated quickly - Great service/very wonderful staff - Great ambiance and beautiful decorations around the restaurant - food was excellent - every dish was excellent and fish was very fresh and yummy - clean bathrooms that smelled really good - always an underrated plus I'm not sure what happened/disappointing: - I'm allergic to shrimp. We had 6 total people at the omakase and there was one dish that had shrimp in it. Instead of providing me an alternative dish, I was just... skipped. I just watched 5 other people eat. Am I totally off base by expecting for a reasonable replacement due to allergies? I just thought it was coming separately/later but... it never came. Tell me I'm being unreasonable lol. - We got to dessert and... they just said they didn't have any. "We ran out." But it's listed on your omakase menu... Then they offered us mocktails instead, which was a weird carbonated orange yuzu drink with a lychee on top. tldr; I didn't like it at all - I don't do cocktails or mocktails, so I just gave it to my husband. My out of town friend also didn't like it, so I asked if they could trade her for some green tea instead. Then... drum roll... they bring her a green tea Mille crepe. But, didn't you say we were out of desserts? Anyway, it's not a big deal but it just seemed confusing and odd. - The check. They calculated something wrong twice and we had to send it back for re-calculation. The check had to be voided twice for that reason. No biggie but it did happen. Anyway, that's all! The food really is wonderful and it's a huge flavor explosion. I just felt like I was 1) completely ignored for a course and 2) didn't receive a dessert that I paid for. Oh well. read more

Visited Yujo today with my two daughters, looking for Omakase in Dallas for a while, but only can find few fairly expensive ones & hard to make reservation. Looking through Yelp's new restaurant list & locate Yujo which only in business about a month. Made reservation & completed my wishes tonight, I ordered their 10 courses Uni Craze, and my daughters ordered the 15 courses Tokujo served with multiple severing of their dry-aged fish, it is so great to find out from the chefs their Uni is either from Hokkaido or Santa Barbara, both are producing the best Uni in the world. As I put the Otoro sushi topped with Uni into my month, my heart was stopped for a second to appreciate the extreme beauty of the taste, took me a full minute to slowly consume the flavor & finished the last bite. After the meal I ordered three extra orders of Otoro with Uni to let my daughters try it out, because their serving only has the Chutoro. Also ordered a small bottle of Dassai 23, it's silky smooth on the palate with pear, cotton candy & violet taste, it's worth the price & comply well with the Omakase. With the high quality of dry-aged fishes, it's a place worth coming back! read more

Had a great omakase experience. The dry aged tuna was amazing! I also highly recommend the sake tasting.

This place was delicious! I had a great experience. The quality of the fish and the presentation was excellent. The prices were reasonable, but you get great flavors and quality . I got some nigiris and they melted in my mouth, like butter. The uni wasnt fishy like most places in Dallas which was refreshing. Tony was awesome, he made sure me and my buddy had a great experience. He let us try the wagyu roll, which was delicious with a serrano pepper topper. It gave a nice hint of heat, i loved it. He really brought the sushi bar into conversation making it feel more of social atmosphere. I will definitely be back and ditch my other sushi spots! read more

I tired the mid tier omakase and it was so filling and everything was so good that I was satisfied but not overly full. The plating and dishwater was also unique and cute like one of the dishes that was a steak egg came in a egg like container and I love the attention to detail read more

Hidden GEM!! We had the 13 course tasting menu and not a single dish disappointed. The service was fantastic and the entire experience was fun and exceeded expectations. We'd orgirinally came due to seeing some positive feedback on social media and were more than impressed. Food quality was up there with uchi / nobu and at a more reasonable price. I was incredibly impressed after having lived in Dallas as a big sushi fan for nearly 3 years. read more
