Sushi Cafe

This restaurant put me through college. I worked here on and off for three years and it was such an amazing experience. I learned so much about sushi but even more I learned more about the food they create. The owner is amazing, kind and above all truly cares for the food he puts out and the customers he serves. I have tried everything on the menu but my favorites are the oven baked rolls like the volcano, golden bridge and lion king roll. You can't go wrong with any of the rolls here. They almost always come with sauce... so if you don't like that... you can always order the sauce on the side instead. You should at least give it a try though because all of their sauces are homemade, fresh and super tasty. My other top recommendations are their vegetarian rolls especially their vegetable tempera roll. I've tried to find another place that comes close to how sushi cafe does their vegetarian rolls, but have never found a close match. I love the decor and vibe of this location as well. You can always hit it up after or before school or going to fry street or the square. I learned to fall in love with sushi here.

3.5 stars Shrimp Ramen, Misou Soup, Eggroll, Edame seasoned and prepared well. The waiter was professional and was attentive during our time. The seafood was not marinated thus lacked flavor. Very clean and soothing environment. I would come back for the noodles, misou soup and, eggroll.

Beautiful and comfortable space. Our wait staff person was helpful, engaging, and professional. The generously proportioned food was fresh and yummy. We'll be back

Our absolute go-to for Denton sushi! Every time we order something new, I'm unsure about the sauce they put on the roll, and I'm always delighted! Last Vegas roll, Crystal roll, and avocado roll are our favorites but we've never had anything there we didn't enjoy. It's also a great place to take people who are new to sushi, or who don't love it. They have lots of sushi options with fried proteins, plus fried rice and noodle dishes. We usually get it to go or delivered, so I'm not an expert on their dine-in service, I can say they've never gotten an order wrong or forgotten anything! It's a small place, but looks welcoming!

The food was not great and it's was very expensive. The server was okay. 30 bucks total for 2 small bowl of instant ramen with 3 piece of meats in it and the California roll that come with it ... I had better at a buffet place.

My mom, my daughter and I were just driving around Denton and wanted to grab a little lunch, I was super hesitant to try this place but I'm glad we popped in. The restaurant smells like really cheap cleaning products but the customer service and food was excellent. Don't get me wrong, you're not getting high end sushi here, but it was large portions and the price was good. Our waitress was attentive and friendly. I would definitely eat here again.

I had previously avoided trying this place due to a low Yelp rating. I almost tried them several times, but would get nervous and back out. After 3 exhausting days of travelling, we got back in town Monday night and were starving. I saw them on UberEats and did a comparison with Yelp to see that their rating had raised quite a bit since I last checked.This made me feel better and I proceeded to place an order. Considering the amount of food and the time of day, I can't really be surprised by the delivery time. The food however, was a mixed bag.I really, really, really wanted some sushi and was bummed by what we got. I ordered the salmon and the red snapper, $3.99 each. Since this was the entire reason we chose to order from this place at all, I had an expectation of at least average. Unfortunately, this expectation was not met. The salmon was of poor quality, VERY stringy and one of the pieces was discolored. The first bite of red snapper was actually pretty good, but the rest of the first piece and half of the second piece were still frozen! As in, they was hard, extremely cold and there were still ice crystals on one side which should have been seen when slicing and it felt like it was intentionally hidden from me. I would much rather a place tell me they don't have it ready then just try to pawn off unthawed sushi on me, that made me mad and is an indicator of how much they care about their customers. This is what I was looking forward to and the disappointment ran deep.My husband ordered the beef and veggie fried rice for $11.99. It looked really unappetizing, we didn't expect it to be so dark and drowned in soy. I chose not to try it and my husband reported it was extremely salty. The portion was a bit small for the price as well.I ordered the donkatsu entrée with steamed rice and sauce on the side for $10.99. It came with a salad and I can say that the portion was fair for the price point. The salad was decent and the rice was as expected. The donkatsu was pretty good in taste and cook. My only issue with this dish is that my instructions were ignored and they left the sauce on there. This wasn't an issue for the top few, but the bottom layer was drowning in sauce and was soggy and falling apart when I got to it. More than half the donkatsu became inedible and wasted as a result. This was why I requested the sauce on the side, so I would get the entire meal in edible form and then apply the sauce as I was eating it.There were some highlights to our meal though! We also ordered the beef gyoza for $5.99, the chicken egg roll for $4.99 and the green tea ice cream for $4.99. Though the appetizers were a little pricey for the portion size, they were very good. The beef dumpling was tasty and the egg roll was even better with a great flavor and perfect texture! I would gladly order both of those again.The best part of the meal was the green tea ice cream!! It was amazing!! Both the texture and taste was outstanding and I would consider going here just to order more ice cream! You must try if you decide to eat from here.Okay, so the overall rating was a bit tough to decide. I really try to be fair to restaurants as I know a lot of factors are in play, and it's not easy work. When food is a mixed bag, sometimes it's still worth a 3 star rating. However, in this case, I felt a 3 star rating would be unfair to other yelpers and wasn't justified based on the underlying issues with this meal.First, most of the items were overpriced for the quality we received. That's important to a lot of people and shouldn't be ignored. Second, a place that will ignore instructions and choose to give a customer a poor quality item, has a serious issue in how they view both their business and their customers. I eat sushi often, at least once a week, and it's not unusual to be told an item is not available that day whether it be unavailable from the vendor, still frozen or not up to the standards of the chef. This place needs to consider adapting a similar policy. To ignore my instructions means you don't pay attention to your customers. To give me fish that is still frozen, stringy and discolored means you don't value your customers or your reputation. I'm really glad that some other yelpers had better experiences than the original reviews. However, this place still has a lot of work to do. I would like to give a higher rating for the items we enjoyed, but a bulk of the price was for items we didn't enjoy- the sushi and entrées. A 2 star rating ("Meh. I've experienced better.") is actually an accurate rating for this experience. If they continue to improve and get good reviews, I will try them again in the future, but spend significantly less money with them until I see the improvement for myself.Sushi is in your restaurant's name. Please show more respect for your customers by only serving items you are willing to stand behind.

Bad sushi and not so good customer service. Maybe it was her bad day. Wasting my money here and the foods taste pretty bad. Go to Kroger sushi is much better and much cheaper! Hate to give out one star but this was unacceptable! Will not return!

Fastest sushi place in Denton! The food is average but would expected for a small place by the bars, short menu full of the classics

Literally the best sushi place on the planet !!!!! Can never ever go wrong. Everyone is so nice as well.
