Few cuisines rival the sensory pleasure of a hand-crafted sushi roll. For anyone craving sashimi, meticulously rolled maki, or pristine nigiri, Fort Worth is no longer limited to chains. From a rooftop newcomer to intimate omakase counters and long-standing neighborhood favorites, the city’s sushi scene now offers a range of experiences that feel both transportive and distinctly local. These are Fort Worth’s best sushi restaurants.
Nikuya
512 Main Street
Seating is limited at this cozy new sushi restaurant, which sits atop The Sinclair hotel. Chef Alvin Chik, whose background includes working in San Francisco’s omakase scene and Plano’s Uchiko, brings a wealth of experience. We’re fans of the Japanese whiskey Old Fashioned and the salmon crudo, which is served over a citrus-kissed sauce. Several dishes play off Fort Worth’s Hispanic heritage, including the edamame “guacamole” that comes served with crispy rice crackers.
