   We loved our girls' day lunch at Black Ship Little Katana! The menu offers a variety of Asian dishes, along with a few basic American options, to ensure something for every taste. We enjoyed the Wagyu Hot Rock, Katana Appetizer Sampler, and a No Problem Roll. Specialty cocktails are refreshing and creative - our choices were the Orangeblossom Mule and a lovely martini with lychee and blueberries (it has a cute name that I've forgotten). The Ginger Vanilla Creme Brulee and Mango Cheesecake were the perfect "last bites!" Our server Sherokee was knowledgeable, attentive and very sweet and we enjoyed visiting with Steven, the manager, who came by to check on us. Our Black Ship Little Katana experience made a fun day out extra special. We will be back!

   We have been going to Little Katana on Cole for about 7 years and now that we live downtown, we are able to go to Black Ship at the Omni. It has been a staple for our relationship for special dinners and somewhere we know we can go and have any amazing meal! Means a lot, and we will see you soon!

   Unfortunately they don’t know how to handle a crowd. Took them almost an hour to get our sushi and it must have been the chef’s first time to cut fish. I would not recommend this restaurant.

    Services was great, but the food was horrible. You could tell it must have been microwaved edamame vs steamed. Good location and service but can't justify the poor quality of food

    The service on Saturday evening was off. They were not very busy yet the server and hostess were slow with our requests and not very accommodating. The server turned out to be doing double duty as the bartender so she was stretched. The food was tasty but very heavy on the sauces. Overall not a great experience for me or my date. Very disappointed.

    The food was very good. We had a party of five and ordered an array of menu items including nigiri, sushi rolls, chicken katsu and yaki soba noodles. For dessert we order both the mango and coffee mochi as well as the flourless chocolate torte. Everything came out very well and in a timely manner. Service was okay, not great, not bad. It was extremely slow for being a Friday night and seemed like the front of house staff was taking advantage of the downtime. Overall if you want good Japanese next to the Omni, stop in. Expect good food but lackluster service and you won’t be disappointed.

    All of the food was very good! The portions were a good size and value for the price. All of the servers were kind and helpful. Our service was a bit slow, there were not very many people on the dining room but they did have a large party in the back room. We ordered Shrimp Shumai - DELICIOUS! Sizzling Dumpling Soup - Delicious! Spicy Tuna, Spicy California and The Angel Roll. All were delicious I enjoyed the Angel Roll - It had Burdock around it (this is a root vegetable) it was an interesting combo and very good! I would recommend everything we had.

    I used to love this place when it was a little hole in the wall on Knox. Not sure if it’s the same owner group but this place is terrible. The sushi is what you’d find at a Whole Foods and the set up inside resembles a suburban chain restaurant. Never again

    Terrible sushi and very poor service .. I was one of only three tables there and the waitress was more interested in messing around in the kitchen with the chefs than the customers. Then brought the bill to which I hadn’t asked for !! Maybe I wanted something else like a desert or coffee!! Won’t be back

    My boyfriend and I went for our 1 year anniversary, and it was lovely! We started off with sushi, and it tasted great, very fresh. For dinner my boyfriend had the steak, it was so buttery, needed no sauce. I had the Idaho trout, cooked to perfection. The staff was very attentive, the place was quiet and intimate with the lights dimmed. We will definitely go back.

    It was a really cute place, but the food was just okay. Definitely not bad, but personally not one of my favorite Asian fusion places in town. I’d say visit if you’ve tried a lot of places and want something new.

    The food was good but the hostess told the person I was meeting for lunch that there were no reservations and no one was waiting for anyone in the restaurant. Thus he stood at the front of the restaurant for 10 minutes waiting for me to walk in when I had already been seated at the back for 15. The restaurant was not very busy but service was also quite slow. The sashimi was delicious and the sushi was great as well. I do wish it was easier to make modifications to the food. Though the planned one hour lunch ended up taking at least an hour and a half, I might come back for dinner or go to Little Katana on Cole since it is smaller and less likely to have a similar situation occur with the hostess.

    We walked in to Black Ship Little Katana at 7:00pm on a Friday night - this was our very first time here. Being downtown on a Friday evening, I came in kinda expecting the place to be busy. Instead we were walked to the very back of the restaurant to be seated at our table and we passed a grand total of 7 patrons. It was a ghost town. Our initial thought was that the public was privy to information that we were not (bad service? bad food? what's the deal??). Instead we found that the restaurant had solid ratings all around, we just chose a bad time to come (immediately after happy hour ended). By the time we left an hour or so later, the total number of patrons had increased to 10-12 - still a very weak crowd. The bar next door was pretty busy though. Overall our experience was good, but it did not meet expectations. I'm glad we gave it a try, but I don't expect we'll ever visit again. There are plenty of sushi places closer to home with better quality food, a bigger variety, and better pricing.

    Enjoyed this restaurant. We were staying at the Omni Dallas and just wanted something close by and we could walk over. We sat outside as the air conditioning was too cold. Ordered sushi and a salad and enjoyed both. Service was great. Food was great. I would go back!

    Not a great atmosphere. All staff have lackadaisical attitude. Took a while to be sat even with a reservation and the place was empty. I can see why now. Food was mediocre and service was about the same. The Knox location is worlds better.

    We were staying at the Omni for a convention and thought that BSLK would be packed so we made an Open Table reservation. Surprisingly, there were only a few tables occupied when we arrived. The miso soup was hot and flavorful, and a nice sized portion as well. Nothing ruins the start of a meal like luke warm soup. A great start. I had the miso glazed seabass with grilled asparagus and wasabi mashed potatoes. A picture of this dish is attached. The fish was cooked perfectly, moist and flaky. The asparagus was tender and had a delicious "grilled" flavor. The mashed potatoes were the perfect starch accompaniment for the dish. My wife was looking for something vegan or vegetarian for her meal. Our server said she could substitute tofu for the protein of most any dish. So, she ordered the yakisoba noodles with tofu. She really enjoyed the dish. I was able to steal a couple bites of her noodles and the flavor was outstanding. Needless to say, our plates were clean when they were picked up by the buser, with no room left for dessert. Our server was not very personable, but did her job in a professional manner. Especially when I'm out of town, I enjoy interacting with the servers and getting to know the area better, but maybe she preferred to give us our privacy. We returned the day after for lunch and sat at the sushi bar. The sushi was excellent and our server was very personable and helped us greatly with the menu selections. I wish we lived in Dallas as we would definitely be a regular at BSLK !

    Came towards for my birthday dinner with friends. Service was horrible. We had a party of 7. Party of 8 or more supposed to get charged with “large party fee” they put it on our bills anyways and the server barely came around and it wasn’t crowded at all...HORRIBLE service. Usually love this place but wow...may not be back for a while.
