This guide is written for people who are in North Dallas for a few days — where Carrollton is, how to get to it, and what to order once you are sitting down.

Where Carrollton is

Carrollton is a suburb on the north-west edge of the Dallas metroplex, bordered by Farmers Branch to the south, Addison to the east, Lewisville and The Colony to the north and Coppell to the west. The 75010 zip code where this restaurant sits is the northern end, along Hebron Parkway, which is roughly 25 minutes from DFW International Airport and about 20 minutes from downtown Plano.

From DFW Airport

North on International Parkway, east on SH-121, then south on Josey Lane — about 25 minutes outside rush hour.

From downtown Dallas

North on the Dallas North Tollway then west on Hebron Parkway, roughly 30 minutes.

From Plano or Frisco

West on Plano Parkway or south on the Tollway, then west on Hebron — 15 to 20 minutes.

What to expect when you arrive

This is suburban Texas, which means a single-storey retail plaza with a large parking lot rather than a street frontage. That is good news for a visitor: parking is free, it is directly outside the door, and you do not need to understand a downtown garage system. Dress is casual and there is no dress code.

What to order if you only get one meal

If you have one dinner in the area and want to see what the kitchen does, order across it rather than down it. One roll from the sushi bar, one plate off the hibachi griddle and one bowl of ramen between two people covers all three kitchens for around forty dollars, and gives you a fair read on a place in a single sitting.

If you want the local speciality

Hibachi is the North Dallas format — an entrée at $14.99 to $16.99 comes with rice and vegetables.

If you want raw fish

Nigiri and sashimi are $6.99 for two pieces; a twelve-piece sashimi combo is $29.99.

If you are eating alone at lunch

Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, 11am to 3pm, a bento box with four sides is $11.99.

If you are collecting on the way to a hotel

Bento boxes and hibachi plates travel best; skip hand rolls, which soften within two minutes.
