This stylish newcomer in the heart of historic downtown Plano features a slew of sophisticated Japanese specialties by chef Koji "Tsukasa" Yoshida. Yoshida's repertoire of dishes run the gamut from impeccably sourced sushi and sashimi to binchotan-grilled robata options like seared wagyu beef with ponzu jelly and sliced kurobuta pork jowl served with a paste made from fermented Japanese ume plums. Equally enticing is the hitsumabushi, a Nagoya-style grilled eel and rice dish that is best enjoyed in three stages: First by savoring it alone, then with the accompanying condiments, and finally with dashi broth poured over the top. Fun fact: The restaurant was designed by the same folks who did the interiors for Gonpachi, the Tokyo restaurant featured in Quentin Tarantino's 2004 film, Kill Bill.

- Japanese, Group Friendly: "Parking can be difficult to find around here, look for extra spaces behind the restaurant or across the light-rail tracks at Haggard Park."
- Best for Japanese, Group Friendly Because: Ebesu is where to find authentic Japanese specialties that aren't commonly seen on North Texas menus.
