not great

by alex32187

I went here on a lunch date and our server was great, but the sushi was awful. The sushi was dry and warm. It was definitely not fresh. The spider roll was burnt and I could tell they tried to re-batter the crab so you couldn't see how it was black underneath. I was really disappointed, especially for the price. Unless you're going for the drink specials, there are MUCH better sushi places to go in Dallas within a 5 mile radius.

• Pros: great service
• Cons: horrible sushi

Solid dining experience. Good music. Wide selection of rolls and sashimi. Food tasted great and I left feeling satisfied. Would be a good date spot.

• Pros: Great Food, Service
• Cons: None come to mind

Best Sushi in the DFW!!

by argmedrano1

I've been to just about every sushi joint in the DFW from Chaucers to Blue Fish, to Nandinas....the list can go on and on, but none compare to the quality and service at Deep Sushi. The minute I walk in I'm greeted by several employees, from the host to the bartender and even the owner. The atmosphere is extemely relaxed and the music is awesome. The food is to die for! I no longer have to order off the menu, I simply tell the waitor what I like or what I'm craving and they know exactly what to make. Never have I been disappointed, but surprised that every visit becomes more satisfying! I simply adore this place, and most importantly the food! In the past I've been skeptical about recommending sushi places, but I can definitely, without a doubt recommend Deep Sushi to all my sushi loving friends and family. Not once have they been disappointed, even those who are trying sushi for the first time. What can I say, I simply adore this place.

Overrated

by enheduanna

I really don't understand how Deep Sushi has gotten such high ratings. I can only assume that these patrons don't know any better. We usually only patronize Blue Fish in North Dallas, but the reviews were good and we were going to a show downtown, so my boyfriend and I decided to use the Citysearch coupon and dine in last night.

We sat at the sushi bar, since we usually have a good time with our sushi chefs. Drink service was very slow, and we got our first plate of sushi before we had our beers. The first plate of nigiri had a hot chili sauce garnish, and my boyfriend requested that the chef omit anything spicy from our remaining orders. When our Ahi Tower came out, it was swimming in spicy sesame oil, so we sent it back. They said that there was no hot chili sauce in it, only spicy sesame oil. They didn't seem to understand that we didn't want anything spicy, and they were less than courteous about it!

We finally got our Ahi Tower, but after becoming intimately familiar with the same dish from Blue Fish, we were extremely disappointed - Deep Sushi's version is underwhelmingly small (about half the size) and bland, and they apparently depend on the spiciness of the oil to mask the blase-ness of the dish.

For rolls, we ordered an Alaskan roll and a Deep roll, which were okay, but miniature in comparison to what we get at Blue Fish for the same price. I'm used to pieces so big that they are a challenge to eat in one bite, but these were closer to supermarket sushi size. There were such small portions of fish in the Deep roll that they couldn't even all be identified, and we weren't sure if everything that should have been in it was in it.

All in all we were very disappointed with our experience, and will be sticking with Blue Fish from now on.

• Pros: the beer was cold
• Cons: terrible value and service

The best service and sushi in dallas!

by wendyyork

Wow! Have you had deep sushi?s sushi yet? I was not a big sushi fan until I came to deep sushi. They have won me over! I had the California roll as all sushi amateurs start with, they then offered me something a little more on the sushi daring side, with a spicy tuna dish, then came a crawfish and jalapeno sushi dish with a spicy sauce on a mound of rice , volcano??? Not sure what it was called but this sushi dish was my favorite! If you are not a sushi fan the tempura from the bento box was out of this world too! You really have to try this sushi restaurant. They are in Deep Ellum on Elm street and have free parking on the street till 7pm daily. Tell them wendy sent you and you want the ?mess? ( that?s what I called it :) ) and they will know what you mean. They have excellent service too! The owner also has daily specials that are excellent! Go deep now!

• Pros: They made a sushi fan out of me!!!!
• Cons: none

A guest made my drink- Laughable Service

by jjadms

I also went here for Valentine's Day but I had a bad experience. Only a few of the tables received roses- it totally depended on who your server was. My date asked our server if I could have a rose and the server told him he could get it himself in front! How rude! When the sushi arrived, we asked our server for soy sauce, but it never came to the table so we had to share with the table next to us. The servers were so frantic that a couple eating in the restaurant got up and actually started busing tables and bar tending! That's right- our drinks were made by fellow guests in the restaurant. Is that even legal? The servers were so overwhelmed they didn't even care- they were taking these drinks to the tables not knowing if they were right or who these people even were. As for the sushi, I've definitely had better at Blue Fish, Asian Mint, and Nobu. If you have your heart set on eating here, I just hope you're one of the lucky ones because at this place, it's definitely a gamble.

• Cons: Service, Sushi

BEST SUSHI EVER!!!

by rsdutcher

We were visiting the area and stumbled upon the best SUSHI we've ever had in not on Dallas, TX but in the United States!!! We travel 15-20 days a month and have eaten Sushi in small towns and big cities but never had the experience that DEEP SUSHI provided. The presentation was amazing. Each dish was served like a fine piece of art. Then it quickly disappeared as a new favorite. We did not order anything. We let the owner surprise us with his masterpieces and that is exactly what he did. Everything from the volcano roll (which actually looked like an exploding volcano) to the nice Tuna Appetizers. It all tasted fresh and had sauces that went perfectly with the dish. I highly recommend DEEP SUSHI. I will make a point of visiting them any time I'm in Dallas.

Best Sushi in Dallas

by pepper52286

I went there for Valentine's Day last night. I was greeted with a rose at the front door, which was a nice touch to the start of my experience there. The food was awesome, the fish was fresh and my date enjoyed his beef teriyaki. My favorite was the sashimi special, which had three slices each of four different sashimi's, a citrus sauce, and some jalapenos to add some kick. Although it was a busy night, the waitstaff was friendly and made sure that I was attended to. I enjoyed the music and the variety of cocktails and sake that they offer. Overall it was a great experience and I enjoyed the atmosphere and would recommend it to anyone.

• Pros: Friendly wait staff, fresh fish, music
• Cons: busy (understandable since it was valentine's day though)
