Sashimi at Katami
The 180-seat restaurant, serving freshly and precisely prepared Japanese cuisine, including sushi, Wagyu and more, opens tonight on West Dallas, where Nino's and Vincent's previously served loyal patrons for decades. The interior has been reimagined based on the principles of Feng shui, with a light-filled dining room and darker, moodier lounge-style bar. And while the menu is more expansive than the one at Kata Robata, make no mistake — Katami is a sushi-forward restaurant, serving the same impossibly fresh fish sourced from Chef Hori's Japanese fishmongers, along with thoughtfully incorporated local produce. And there's a variety of omakase experiences available, spanning nine to 15 pieces of chef-selected sashimi.

But beyond the sashimi and signature rolls — don't sleep on the Southern Smoke Roll, with tuna belly, sea urchin, shiso, wasabi and a dollop of caviar — find decadent Wagyu selections ranging from carpaccio-style to Robata-style, grilled over Binchotan charcoal. And Chef Hori is also playfully experimenting with dishes like foie-gras milk bread with Nutella; and Japanese-style shaved-ice ice cream.
It's all best washed down with sake, of course, and at Katami, there's no shortage of good ones: The unique selection includes rare sakes by the bottle or glass, and craft cocktails utilize the spirit along with Japanese gin, whiskey and yuzu bitters.
