Keiichi - Denton

Absolutely the best Japanese restaurant in DFW area. This restaurant looks so unassuming from outside but once you get in, you feel like being in Japan. The food is so amazing. It is an interesting combination of Japanese and Italian. Every dish is great. The seafood is so fresh. Remember to reserve two months in advance. What a special restaurant! Will come back again and again!

Unique dining experience that was well worth the wait. Appetizers were so good, had to try almost all of them. Sushi and sashimi flavor were on another level, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to order spicy tuna anywhere else again. Even days later we are still talking about how good it was. As I understand it, they fly in the food frequently and only serve fewer than 20 people per night. The the freshness is apparent in the taste, and service very personalized.

Fantastic Sushi restaurant....one of my favorite for authentic, fresh and high end sushi. They have a long wait for reservations, but worth the wait. Due to Covid their seating is very limited. Call ahead and get a reservation, you won’t regret it. The beef roll and trout sashimi are too die for. The service was very friendly, the chef made incredible suggestions, the waitress was super efficient and the food was reasonably priced for the quality of fish/ingredients. A meal like this at Nobu would have been twice the price with perhaps lesser quality ingredients. The portions are very generous and filling. A must try place if you are a sushi fan.

Once you go to Keiichi, you basically won 't trust anyone else to give this kind of quality, authentic sushi anywhere else. This isn 't your typical sushi joint, either. Even sushi chefs from Dallas come to Denton to eat here. It 's a hole-in-the-wall, easily overlooked sushi restaurant right off the Denton Square, and he just recently put out a sign to advertise his long-time business location. Book in advance! Only open Wed-Sat I think and only takes reservations by phone. Keiichi (the owner 's name) is the only sushi chef there and cooks right in front of you. The prices aren 't cheap but I 've never been more satisfied about spending $75-100 per person at any restaurant, ever, and gladly give up my wallet to eat his sushi. My all time favorites are the beef and jalepeno cream cheese rolls (OMGGG), beef tataki, and any of the sashimi plates. My husband and I did the 'chefs special ' on a special occasion and got to try many of his incredibly fresh and delicious sashimi (that I probably normally wouldn 't have the courage to order) and it was so worth it — definitely expanded my palette to develop a new love of sushi. But I don 't really trust eating sashimi raw fish anywhere else because I know his fish is top notch quality. It 's such a treat coming here every time. Also it 's pretty casual and not a fancy place, so all are welcome.

I've been here many times over the years and the food never disappoints. Make your reservations well in advance as he does book up quickly. Edit Still visit as much as we can. COVID sucked though. Pics are from recent visit.
