Yujo Umi

This place in my opinion had the best sushi/sashimi in dfw. Theyve redone the place so its different on the inside than it use to be. Regardless though, ive eaten the best things ive ever eaten in my life from this place. Staff is great and experience is wonderful.

Tried Omakase here. It's really goood. Service is great. The place is intimate and quiet.

We used to come to this restaurant before this was Yujo Umi. It was good but boy, they are SO MUCH BETTER NOW! Every piece of omakase is a masterpiece in flavor. Very carefully and well-crafted. My husband cannot stop making the "hmmm!! HMMM!! YUMM" sounds. We had the 16 course omakase, I could not eat all. It's alot yall! Service is outstanding. We are celebrating My husband's bday here and they gv him a lil cake to celebrate. We have tried UCHI couple times, honestly this restaurant offers better flavors. It's very fresh. Also more affordable! So yeah I would recommend this place better than UCHI. Our server diligently kept checking on us. Offering to refill our tea often. She is very good! Ambiance is cozy. Intimate, beautiful, and elegant. We will come back every month..

My hairstylist said great things about this place, so I had to try it out. They have a discount on Thursdays, but I could only go on the weekend. Formerly Kyodai, this restaurant is known for their omakase. We went on a Saturday night. Omakase was $110 per person with a set menu. We were seated right away with no wait time. There was the option to sit at the bar or table. Restroom was clean. The service was excellent and very attentive. Our waters were constantly refilled. Once we were done with one dish, we were immediately given the next item. The waitresses were very knowledgeable in presenting and explaining the ingredients of each dish given that it was during their soft opening. They were also very friendly with a smile on their faces. The presentation of each dish was nice. Having my fair share of omakase, I would say the food tasted average. There wasn't anything that stood out. Some of my favorites were the fatty salmon with uni and silky smooth egg custard. Overall, it was great place for date night. I probably wouldn't make the far drive to go here unless I'm in the area.

It was all so delicious! Did the omakase unlimited, but ended up getting full after and 24 pieces. The chefs were so fast too! Water refilled quickly. Place is clean. Plenty of parking. Highly recommend. I do wish the waitress had been a little more clear when we asked her if dessert was included in the omakase. She said something like " it kind of is". That's a yes or no question.

Am loving their rebrand and remodeling. We went with our usual order of a set of hand rolls, Kyodai Roll, and some nigiri. The menu, service, and decor hold the same quality as always. Everything is freshly made and the attention to detail is apparent in every aspect of the meal.

Fantastic experience! Tried their omekase and it was delicious. Each course was fantastic with excellent presentation. Absolutely delicious and quite filling. You can taste the quality of their sea food and wagyu. Each bite was an exquisite experience all on its own with blasts of flavors, textures, and phenomenal mouth feel. We also had a few of their cocktails that were also very delicious! Almost experienced a kami no glass with their "up all night" cocktail. The presentation and flavor of the "dawn at kawaguchi" was also outstanding. Service was top notch and highly attentive to our needs. Overall a great experience and I would not have changed a thing. Definitely looking forward to another trip to try more of their a la carte menu!

I never got the opportunity to try the Salmon Wednesdays when Yujo was previously known as Kyodai Handroll Bar. You can bet that I was very ecstatic to find out that they are bringing back their salmon Wednesdays (only at the Frisco location so far). They've increased their prices a tiny bit but that's not surprising with inflation nowadays. I booked a reservation at 5 pm but honestly a reservation is not needed at this time because this is when they first open and it wasn't completely packed at all. It may start becoming packed as word gets around that salmon Wednesday is back so it may still be safe to reserve ahead of time. I love the vibe of the restaurant. There are such nice paintings and decorations along the walls, the lighting creates an intimate environment as well.They limit 15 pieces of nigiri per person, there's also an omakase option available. For my first plate, I got 5 pieces of fatty salmon, 5 aburi (seared) salmon, and 1 king salmon. My friend and I fell in love at first bite with the fatty salmon. The salmon was rich and I honestly didn't even need to dip it in soy sauce to enjoy it. I thought the fatty salmon was good, but honestly I thought the aburi salmon was even better. It is also partially fatty but even better because it has some smoke from the torch they use to wear it and some spicy mayo and light soy sauce on top. The sauces were not overpowering at all, and enhanced the taste of the salmon. The king salmon was very good as well, very rich salmon flavor, but honestly I still enjoyed the aburi salmon more. My second plate had 3 aburi salmon and 1 fatty king salmon. The fatty king salmon seemed like it was slightly seared but omg.... That was the most melt in your mouth bite I had of salmon ever. The salmon basically dissipated in my mouth and was sooo soo good. Definitely give it a try. I am very happy that salmon Wednesdays are back and I hope they eventually roll it out to all of their locations. I recommend the aburi salmon and fatty king salmon.

Previously, Kyodai Frisco was my hubby's and my favorite spot and we always went there for special occasions. It has now changed ownership and is Yūjō Umi and I'm glad to say it is still just as good. We tried Kinzo a few weeks ago and even though it was VERY GOOD, we think Yujo reigns supreme. We went to Yujo tonight for the Thursday Omakase for $88 (what a deal!) and everything was chefs kiss ‍-Old fashioned: 10/10...hubs said it was smooth and light- Can't remember the name of my cocktail but it had pineapple, whiskey, and egg white and it was DELISH 10/10- Oysters with plum foam and ikura: 8.5/10....a tad sweet for me. Tastes like melted ice cream on an oyster...but somehow it works?- Toro tartar: 9/10- 5-10 day dry-aged salmon: 10/10...perfection. The salmon was rich and buttery and the broth has a beautiful truffle flavor.- Tai (red snapper): 7.5/10 good but not my fave fish- Super salmon (salmon + Uni): 10000/10. Call me basic, but I'm a sucker for salmon. It's just melt-in-your mouth sea butter deliciousness. One of my faves of the night - Alamutsu (rosy seabass): 11/10 first time having this and wow was it good. Fatty and delish.- Hirame (flounder) 6.5/10...I don't love flounder. It's a bit sweet with a strong taste of the sea. If you're into that, you'll love it.- Gindara (black cod): 10/10 buttery with a nice char. First time having black cod nigir and I loved it. - Chawamushi (silky smooth egg custard) 9.5/10...only thing that would have made it better was if it had Uni on top- Kinmedai (golden eye snapper): 9/10 Love this mild fatty fish- Otoro: 100/10 such a treat! Melt in your mouth goodness.- Mackerel: 6/10...but to be fair, I'm not a huge fan of mackerel anyway. Hubs liked it.- King salmon: 9/10 was prepared with a nice smoky flavor - Hotate (scallop) and foie gras 10000/10 TO DIE FOR . The star of the show. - Yellowtail hand roll: 7.5/10 good but nothing special -Coffee ice cream with corn flakes: 8/10 corn flakes gave it a great texture - Tiramisu Mille cake: 7/10I will say, my one critique is the new layout, half as much sushi bar seating as before, which doesn't make sense considering the new focus is all around omakase which most people prefer to sit at the sushi bar for that. Needless to say, we'll be regulars for sure.

After trying all the different Omakase experiences around DFW, Yujo Umi was next on our list. My husband and I actually went in with low expectations after reading some of the 1-star reviews, but we came out blown away. Every course on the menu was intricately crafted with fresh and palate-awakening ingredients. I have to say, after tasting all the Omakases around DFW, Yujo Umi is now one of my favorites. Will be back for sure!
