Hinoki - Frisco (TX)

3 /5 Chris Stephenson: A Decent Start for a New Spot We tried Hinoki last night, the new sushi place that just opened up. Overall, it was an okay experience, with some definite highlights and a few areas for improvement. The best part of the meal was the service. Our server was attentive, friendly, and happy to answer all of our questions. From the moment we walked in, the staff was welcoming, which is always a great start. The sushi itself was fine, but it didnt quite stand out. For the price point, we were expecting something a bit more memorable. While fresh, the rolls and nigiri were pretty standard and didnt have the unique flavors or presentation that you might find at other established sushi restaurants in the same price range. One thing to note is that they dont have a full liquor license yet, so your only options are beer, wine, or sake. This wasnt a huge deal for us, but its good to know if youre hoping for a cocktail with your dinner. Given that they are a new restaurant, Im sure they are still working out the kinks. With excellent service as a strong foundation, Im hopeful that the food will evolve to match. Its a decent option if youre in the area, but Id give them a little time to grow into their own.

5 /5 Quinton Pham: The food was exceptional: I would highly recommend the ocean trout, wagyu, and flounder. Service was fast and sashimi is prepared in front of you if you sit at the bar. Cocktails are great and priced appropriately. Front staff and sushi chefs made this a wonderful dining experience. Definitely try this place out!

5 /5 jason lau: I ate their lunch special today. It was awesome. Authentic and delicious! The sashimi and sushi was full of flavor and fresh. You can feel the chefs effort in the presentation and preparation - the wasabi is fresh made and the ginger tastes like it is made in-house too. The portion size is very generous - see my photos. The bento box will definitely fill you up. I also ordered the tempura. The shrimp tempura was excellent. The batter was light and cooked to perfection. Atmosphere and decor is great. Modern and inviting. Service was top notch. I fully recommend this authentic Japanese restaurant!

5 /5 Natalie Tobias: Hinoke offers an elevated sushi menu in a comfortable environment. Service is outstanding and the sushi is high quality. The menu might seem intimidating for those unfamiliar with high end sushi but the staff was so helpful in helping explaining the different offerings and you really can’t go wrong with any of the expertly crafted dishes.

5 /5 Jenny T: Super fresh sashimi… everything we ordered were of superb quality. California hand roll was made of real crab meat. Salmon teriyaki was very tender. The wasabi was made of fresh wasabi root. The quality is comparable to Dallas Nobu.
