Kitaro Sushi

My husband and I came in and tried the bento boxes. I had teriyaki chicken and he had the salmon. Both were very good. Everything tasted fresh. We will come again. Very friendly people working there.

Fantastic place. The Ramen was great, as was the Dynamite Roll. Extremely inexpensive for the quality of food. BYOB.

The sushi combos are great values: small salad, cup of soup, California roll, and another roll that you can select from on a designated section of their menu… all for about $ 10. I would get another combo for sure. Value… nigiri ranging from $ 3 – 5, sashimi (6pcs) around $ 12, basic rolls like the California range from $ 5 – 8, and more specialty rolls like the Rainbow are from $ 13 – 14. Their offerings aren’t vast but you’ll get basics. The menu also offers udon noodle soup bowls, 2 different ramen bowls, tonkatsu chicken, etc. The food itself? Good. I tried a dynamite roll, a California roll, and the Lion King roll (California with torched salmon atop). Small restaurant, pretty low key and chill; friendly owners. Give them a whirl.

This place is the best sushi in Texas. It must stop and must have in Plano. Far price good customer services and family run business.

Great sushi at a great price! My wife had the ruby roll, and I had a nigiri combo. It was plenty of food :)

Well this was a great find thanks to Unilocal reviews.
We had Golden California roll. Rainbow Roll, Pink Dragon, Spicy Yellow tail, Shrimp Tempura. And cant decide which one is better than the other.
You need to try. We wil be back for sure.
Service very humble and on point. All really good.

Very good sushi and very friendly staff! I enjoyed the miso soup and salad that comes in the sushi combo as well! My favorite sushi so far here was the dynamite roll, but I’ll definitely be back to try some more! Delicious:)

Great sushi place. The people that work there are lovely. I gotta give them a ¹⁰⁄₁₀ Nickelodeons kids choice award baby.

This place is amazing must go! Had some spicy tuna roll, tiger roll and the ramen and everything was great! Service was amazing!

This place is a little gem! I’m in town on business and decided I wanted sushi. I’m so glad I did.
I had the golden California roll, which is a California roll that’s been lightly tempura-​ed. It was fantastic.
I also had the pink Dragon roll. I know, I know, sushi purists hate the cream cheese and sauces — but this roll is the best I’ve ever had. It’s slightly sweet and very flavorful.
The restaurant is in a little strip mall right next to a really great phở place. It appears to be run by a husband and wife. She makes the sushi, he runs the front. They are very polite and made me feel welcome right away.
This is a fantastic place for sushi. The prices are very reasonable and the food is delicious!
I wish I’d taken pictures, but I was so wrapped up in eating that I completely forgot.

Awesome hidden place. The food is so tasty and the quality of the food you would expect it to be high, but the price is much cheaper than what I expected.

Sushi at a cheap price you can’t expect to be top notch. As soon as I walked in there was hardly anyone inside. I knew what I wanted which was the sushi roll combo. You get california roll, soup, salad and another roll. The second roll choices are pretty basic rolls. I got the tuna with avocado roll forgetting I am at cheap sushi place. The california roll wasn’t too bad but you really can’t wrong with the basic roll. The tuna with avocado roll wasn’t good. the fish was gritty and nasty. Good tunas are plump and smooth not gritty. But I paid $ 10 for the whole combo so I get what I paid for…
This is a new place located next to Jin Mi and Taiwan Café on 15^th st. It’s been opened for 5 months so they’re new. The owners aren’t Korean or Japanese but Chinese or Taiwanese. The sushi chef isn’t a man but a woman and the husband is the server. Opposite of what I’ve seen at other sushi places. I was told sushi chefs are mostly men because you need a lot of hand strength and cold hands. You can’t handle raw fish with warm hands because it will ruin the fish. That is what I was told but I could be fooled who knows. Anyways the service was nice and very Asian-​like. Bowing every time they come to give me water or something else. Kitaro Sushi is a nice place if you’re broke and craving rolls but don’t get anything with raw fish. If you do eat a lot of ginger because that’s what I did so I won’t get sick. Apparently if you eat ginger and wasabi with raw fish it helps you from getting sick.

My friend told me there is a great sushi place in Plano serving high quality food with very reasonable price. So I came yesterday and found it’s a quiet and clean place with plain decoration. Obviously the owner focused much more on the food itself than the decoration and maybe that’s why the price it’s quiet low here.
I tried the Assorted Tempura as appetizer and it was DELICIOUS! It’s a combination of shrimp and vegetable tempura. Very tender shrimp covered with thin crunchy semitransparent tempura. Also, the sweet potato and pumpkin tempura are tasty,
I loved my Lion King Roll which is a California Roll covered by smoked salmon and topped with teriyaki sauce spicy sauce and green onions. It was AMAZING! I love a little spicy flavor but not a lot. By the way, the wasabi was great too.
In addition, the Sashimi were awesome! Salmon, tuna, yellow tail and arctic shellfish are all fresh and bigger and thicker than other restaurants.
For avocado lover, I would recommend the Green Mountain Roll. A LOT of avocado and taste a little bit sweet. The Kitaro Roll and Spider Roll come with REAL crab meat.
The Teriyaki Salmon Entre come with miso soup and salad. Good and healthy lunch choice for office people.
OH, did I mention It’s 10%OFF for everything! Strongly recommend this place!
PS: It’s BYOB.

I get really excited when a new sushi place opens up because I have a ridiculous obsession for sushi. This place is right next to Phở Que Huong on 15^th Street. The employees were quiet, but were attentive to our needs. Not sure how they would do if the place was busy though — there were only about 3 other tables besides ours. Plenty of parking.
We got a tempura shrimp appetizer, Golden California roll, and a Tonkatsu dinner entrée.
— I thought the tempura shrimp was fresh but the tempura batter was a little too soft that night.
— Golden California roll was fried to perfection! Really liked it
— Tonkatsu was also fried amazingly with really good flavor and perfect crispness. The salad that comes with it was so good and reminded me of my favorite sushi place in Austin. The dressing was really refreshing and has a nutty flavor to it. The entire entrée had so much food for such a great price!
I really can’t wait to come again to try more of the rolls! They have photos of their rolls at each table and it was so hard to resist ordering more since their prices are so reasonable.

The reviews on here so far really give the story, but I will go ahead and add my 2 cents and probably reiterate some points.
I am probably being a little generous with 5 stars but the sushi was very good as was the pricing. The service was attentive if not a bit disjointed. The place does feel a little sterile and it has been pretty quiet the few times we have been. That being said each time there seems to be one or two more tables so I am guessing it is slowly catching on as the word is getting out. I am admittedly being generous with 5 stars but giving them the benefit of the doubt on some growing pains on their startup because their food and pricing is so good.
The dynamite roll was awesome and had a good thickness, quality and flavor associated with high end downtown Dallas sushi restaurants but with the price tag of suburban mom and pop sushi places. We have tried a variety of different rolls and I can’t remember all of their names. I have thought they were all good. I have been surprised that some of the more basic rolls have been so flavorful.
I am not 100% but it seems like the proprietors are a husband and wife team and I am partial to the locally owned and run places. They are very nice and most importantly make a mean sushi roll.
We have also tried the tempura shrimp and thought they were very good.
Definitely a secret hole in the wall for now and I don’t expect them to stay secret too long with their sushi rolls as good as they are.

Called in an order late last night — it was late but didn’t want unhealthy fast food — so decided to do sushi again!
Two times this week and I love it here! The Golden California Roll is a must try — OMG so good. Happy to have found a sushi place I like that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.

I’m always going to the restaurants in this plaza and when I saw a sushi restaurant opening up soon I was curious. The location itself is not very appealing. From the outside, this plaza is a little run down looking. But inside it is very clean and modern looking. Being asian myself, I was extremely impressed by this. Many asian restaurants typically do not focus on restaurant aesthetics in order to save money. Another thing that impressed me right off the bat was how sweet and friendly the staff was. Both times coming here I was greeted with a smile. They are also attentive without being too bothersome.
The first time coming here I got a little bit of everything. The fish was good quality, especially for the price. I also got the chicken karaage bento as well as the tonkatsu bento. The larger bento boxes come with a salad, miso soup, 2 gyoza, and 4 pieces of California roll (not sushi). Usually I dislike the salad dressing that comes with bento at other places but the dressing here is delicious. The miso soup was also very good, not too salty. Portion sizes for everything are quite reasonable for what you pay for. They also feature a large selection of rolls ranging from $ 4-​$ 14.
All in all this is a great restaurant to have sushi in a casual environment.

Amazing sushi and great service! The only weird part was that it was a bit dead around dinner rush times… maybe because this place is so new.
The interior looks like a normal medical office or something. It doesn’t look like a sushi place, but they so serve good sushi.

I hate to give a new restaurant anything below 4 stars, but the experience I had here this past weekend was nowhere near a 4.5 star Unilocal rating. To me, it just seemed like the whole place lacked soul. Upon entering, the decorations are spartan and we could hear a microwave oven running in the kitchen. The staff seemed to lack passion even though they were attentive. And the food just seemed to lack soul that would make it something memorable to me.
Maybe I have been watching too many episodes of Restaurant Redemption… the good news here is that I think with just a little bit of extra effort in all three of the above areas that this could turn the review into a 4-​star rating.

Amazing sushi! So this is a new hole in the wall sushi place on 15^th street in South Plano. We went there Saturday night expecting a decent sushi at a decent price for a fun low key night. The décor is nice and clean, but not particularly fancy. The waitstaff similarly was very cordial and nice but there was a decent language barrier. But the food was amazing!
We love most all Asian food and went on a trip to Japan a while back and there went to a tempura restaurant and loved it, so back in Dallas we searched for a tempura restaurant that does Japanese style tempura frying of vegetables and shrimp. We couldn’t really find any, some had opened but then closed and we gave up. To our pleasant surprise, Kitaro has tempura vegetables on the menu as well as tempura shrimp. Both were very good and eating a lightly fried vegetable gave us the joy of fried food without the guilt.
I had the tuna nigiri which was awesome; a large piece of tuna with good coloring and great flavor.
We then moved on to rolls. We thought they were all surprisingly good, but the one roll we were especially amazed with was the Golden California roll. I am not 100% sure how it is done but it is basically a California roll that is then lightly tempura fried. Pretty amazing and especially for $ 5.75. Ridiculous!
I am not sure when they opened but they had a grand opening sign and it seemed like it had just been a few days. A friend went to lunch there last week and raved about it so we tried it and are hooked. There was only one other table there when we went, but I am sure it will catch on. The atmosphere may be a little plain, with food that good and those prices, it will be a hit.
Also, we brought a bottle of wine BYOB. We weren’t sure if they sold alcohol so we brought it just in case and they didn’t serve wine but it is BYOB. BYOB and amazing sushi is hard to beat.
One piece I almost forgot was their edamame. We ordered it as the appetizer you order when you want to get started with some food and it is always a safe bet because edamame tastes generally the same everywhere. It came out with no salt and we were a bit confused and thought it might be an ominous start. Then they showed us that the dispenser on the table was a crimson colored flavored spicy salt, so we used it on the edamame and it was amazing, a little burn on your lips, not too strong but very good.
