I celebrated my bday here and I must say, they were very accommodating, since I had to cancel the first date from me getting the flu. They graciously took my party of 20 for a reschedule. From the moment we walked into the door, we were greeted, and I was wished a happy belated bday. This will not be one of my normal reviews, since I don't have food pics. I honestly just forgot and was having too good of a time celebrating with everyone! Our server Yusef was great, though I do think another order taker would have been good. All in all though, Yusef was a great server, and handled our large party as well as one person could! Everyone liked or loved their food and drinks! The almond trout and rib eyes were very popular! The biggest surprise was the cheesecake they brought out for me during the happy birthday song and then the 2 trays of various desserts for my entire party to share. Very unexpected and awesome of Black Ship to do this! It was literally the proverbial "icing on the cake!" Thankyou again to Yusef and the manager and entire staff that made us feel special last night. You have created more customers and great memories for your establishment! Job well done. I highly recommend trying this place!

The service here was TERRIBLE, the actual sushi was okay not bad at all, but the place is overpriced. I eat sushi at least once a week and never have a $90.00 ticket. The waitress seemed a little bothered, the 3 times that she did come over to our table. There weren't very many people in the restaurant, so I'm not sure why she never came over we had to ask other servers for the things we needed. We ordered about 30 minutes after we arrived, due to the fact that the 1st time she came over we weren't ready to order yet, so she didn't come over for about 15 minutes. I asked for a small or regular order of fried rice and was charged $18 for it!!! It says open food on my ticket, when I asked the waitress what was the open food charge she informed me it was the rice. She was very rude and snotty the entire night. We also had a large party fee which was to be expected I guess, so instead of the tip she would have gotten, she just got the large group fee, you sold yourself short. I will never return to this restaurant, due to the staff. I should have read the reviews first as I normally do.

With such a high standard of sushi restaurants in Dallas, it's hard to find this place much more than subpar. Cons: Dirty floor - several chopsticks from different tables, food, and silverware on the ground for the duration of our stay. Servers constantly stepping around it, not picking it up. Ran out of hot sake - waiter forgot to tell us, so we were expecting it for 30 min. -We got our appetizers last I had to ask for soy sauce after food arrived - no paper towels in the women's washroom (I was told) I could go on but will spare the details. On behalf of the waiter, he did offer us a free desert, and since we declined, he removed the sparkling waters off our bill. All in all, I wouldn't recommend this place, but I imagine since it's across from the hotel, they may last with the high customer turnover. Best if luck

It was my first experience dining here. A friend of mine--who is a regular--recommended I try it. We came in and were waited on by Angel. Angel was extremely friendly and personable. Within the blink of an eye, he brought us beverages and made recommendations to me about the menu. Not only did I order based on his recommendation, I thoroughly enjoyed the food. Angel had already memorized what my friend likes (since he's the regular) and confirmed that's what he wanted. Considering how many people they serve, I was impressed that Angel could remember what he wanted. Anyway, the service was tremendously spectacular. Angel went out of his way to make it awesome. I truly cannot wait until I can make it back in again. And you know I will be asking for Angel by name!!!!

We’ve only been in Dallas for a day and this will probably be the worst place we’ve gone already. Atmosphere is very lackluster though the facility is nice. Food is beyond subpar. Korean Fried chicken Bao Bun is just nasty. And I wasn’t sure if the chicken was cooked. It says fried chicken but it was soggy. The Miso Ginger soup had a very flat muted taste that wasn’t pleasurable at all. Complete waste of money and we won’t be back. After we “finished” but didn’t finish our food we waited over 30 mins for the bill. And there were flies and gnats making guest appearances at our table over and over. I want my money and time back.

Really good Asian fusion resto right near the convention center. Although the food does taste American and not really authentic. I had the stone pot I think it was called but in all reality it's a bimbimbap dish. My wife had the japjae and we both had the same issue. Food is fresh and very good but lacks the authentic taste. The ambiance was very intimate and modern. The service was very good and attentive. I've had better Korean dishes but it's not the worst. Would recommend if you are looking for Asian dishes and spending the day at the convention center!

So came in and got seated right away. It was not busy at all. It took them 30 minutes for just to get water. Host did come to let us know that our server was running a few minutes late. We ordered our food. They brought the ramen, forgot about my miso soup and said my sushi roll was running behind. Ramen was really salty. Sushi was good. We got the check and they charged us for the miso soup, but they corrected it. I wouldn’t recommend it. They have a very limited menu honestly.

Please save yourself the hours it will take to eat at this place. No complaints about the food, nothing special but not bad. The service however was beyond ridiculous. There were two tables of people including ours, and more than 8 employees wondering around yet it still took 30 minutes to get our bills after asking, and then another 40 minutes to get them corrected when everything was jumbled up. The server acted inconvenienced and annoyed with having to deal with it. Seriously the worst experience.

  • Adam Chesler

The food here is really good, although it seems to be made hastily and lazy. The fish wasn't cut well, and the dumpling soup is literally dumplings in miso soup. Overall the fish was fresh, but the service here was horrendous. I'll never go back just because of the service. Took 10 minutes just to be acknowledged. Employees acted way too busy, food took way too long to come out. One example... asked for diet Coke, got Coke, Dr pepper, then finally diet coke. Overallood but horrible service.

  • Mickeal Rhaney

The quality of sushi is bottom tier. It is good that there are 8 pieces but they are small. The cost does not match. “Everything is bigger in Texas” does not apply here. The atmosphere seemed nice and relaxing. The waitress seemed rushed. There in inconsistency in communication. I was told at the door that I could not make a To-go order over the phone or in person but I was welcome to sit at the bar to eat.

The place is clean and the food is fresh. They use higher quality ingredients and they know how to prepare it also. The manager really wants you to be happy and enjoy your food. If they have any issues he will make it right. I’m amazed the quality is good and there are not many good restaurants around here except this place and bobs steak and chop house. But i like this place better because i don’t need to dress up.

Customer service is beyond the worst. Hostess service, attentiveness from the hostesses, responsiveness of the bartender - and all the while the restaurant was nearly empty. You might be stuck here because of an event, but do yourself a favor - pick one of the other restaurants to pay for overpriced mediocre food at and let this one go under…

Honestly the fish didn't seem very fresh and was almost rubbery or seemed treated and there saw way to much cream cheese used that it was so overwhelming and too much. I was in town visiting for work but I wouldn't ever go back to this place. The waitress I has was very pleasant and attentive. My only complaint was the sushi just wasn't enjoyable and totally not worth the money.

  • PF Roux

The venue looks really good, and indeed, the rolls (that's all we tested) were delicious. On the other hand, the waiters were a bit overwhelmed (understandably given the popularity of the place). Not that they weren't efficient or polite, don't get me wrong. But we have waited quite a bit. Overall a good experience, worth the money (...).

Hosted dinner party without any issues! We had our own room, there were about 35 of us and they did a wonderful job! My steak was amazing, best I have had in years! Mashed potatoes were on point, I wish I could recreate those for Christmas dinner. Thanks for doing a great job with our group and being so nice:)

Food was super salty. Had to wait so long to get our drinks and order. When we asked for some spices and a refill the water took over 20 mins and began taking other tables instead of coming to us with our drinks and stuff.

Went for my Mom's birthday. Other than the hostess forgetting to check us in for our reservation, it was a fun time. We usually go to the one in Las Colinas so this was a different experience. Similar dishes, different flavor profiles. It was a memorable moment.

  • Russian Witchcraft

One of the worst sushi places I ever been. Thin slices of fish, not actual menu and what you’ll get. Be ready to pay solid

Amazing steaks! Very accommodating on so many levels. I would highly recommend to anyone! I am not a huge steak eater, but my steak melted in my mouth...yum! Our waitress Angelica was also fantastic. Wish I could give more stars than just 5!!!

  • Megan Marie Randall

For a small sushi restaurant this is a fabulous spot. First of all my bartender was Mike, and wow. That guy knows customer service! He was on point with his social skills, wonderful delivery and had amazing recommendations! The atmosphere

  • Seth

Best service in Dallas. Amazing atmosphere. Perfect sushi. Just wish the noodles for the ramen weren't (obviously) pre-cooked and kept in bags to be reheated as orders are placed.

Just a top notch, peaceful experience with my wife. Kudos for getting every detail right! Youssef helped us pick some amazing entrees that truly hit the spot. Hot Stone Bowl was fantastic! Thank you for a great evening Black Ship.

  • LeAura Mullins

A place I recommend so much, i saved it in my Google Maps Places To Visit. Great and fresh options including vegetarian options for rolls. Took some time here alone after qork and the environment was very calming. Would come back.
