About
Shoyo opened in 2021 and quickly became one of the hardest reservations in Dallas, with monthly drops selling out in minutes. The restaurant's Japanese culinary identity rests firmly on Shinichiro "Shin" Kondo, born in Nagoya, Japan, who spent decades as a Nobu executive chef before bringing his expertise to this intimate counter. Together with owner Jimmy Park, Kondo shapes an omakase format that balances traditional Edomae-style presentations at lunch with more inventive, flavor-forward coursing at dinner. The 14-seat counter creates an immersive atmosphere, with chefs explaining each course personally. Reservations are released on the first day of each month via Resy.
Neighborhood & visiting

Shoyo sits in Lower Greenville, one of Dallas's neighborhoods where authentic Japanese kitchens have taken root. Reservations are available online — for a focused sushi counter this is strongly recommended. Check the posted hours before you go — traditional sushi restaurants often close between service periods.
