The 2026 Texas @michelinguide will be announced in less than a month. Here are some thoughts on Michelin, the Texas guide, and my predictions for new one-star restaurants.

Overall, I think we’ll see 2 to 3 new one-star restaurants statewide this year.

Thanks to Sushi Kozi for a special anniversary dinner! We were blown away by the incredible detail, beauty and flavors of each of the 17 courses on their omakase menu. We did one of each of the wine and saki pairings and both were perfect complements to the food. The service was impeccable from start to finish and all of the staff were so nice including our waiter Trevor, the bartender Hunter and the GM, Bronson. It was great to talk to Chef @rj_yoakum about his vision for the menu/restaurant. They were just named #1 on D Magazine’s 50 best restaurants in Dallas list. I hope they earn a Michelin star in the near future because it would be well deserved.

Japanese tradition, reimagined in Dallas 🇯🇵🍣

We visited @sushikozy in the Dallas Arts District and sat down with chef-owner @koyonghun and Chef @rj_yoakum to explore the culinary philosophy behind the Michelin-recognized restaurant.

Together, they bring a fresh perspective to Dallas dining by blending traditional Japanese sushi with French techniques, creating a menu that reflects the personalities and backgrounds of both chefs.

From Chef Paul’s selection of nigiri to Chef RJ’s flan, inspired by his Mexican heritage, every dish celebrates seasonal, local, and specialty ingredients sourced through The Chefs’ Warehouse.

Thank you, Chefs, for welcoming us into your kitchen and sharing the philosophy behind the menu. We’re proud to work alongside you and excited for what’s ahead.

Third visit to @sushikozy , and my second visit within a month. As mentioned in my stories posted during this service, it keeps getting better.

After listening to @chefspsa with @rj_yoakum , I can see his vision coming to life. The goal isn’t just to create a destination for a special occasion, but to build the kind of restaurant that earns a permanent spot in your dining rotation alongside the Dallas favorites people already dedicate certain nights of the week to. Even though the format remains consistent and it’s a higher-end experience, I found myself thinking about my next visit before I had even left.

Thank you to @koyonghun for the consistent quality fish and for accommodating changes like preparing sashimi instead of nigiri. And thank you to RJ for making guests who may be hesitant about raw fish feel just as welcome without compromising the experience.

The service and management deserve recognition as well. They remember returning guests, notice the little details, and make each visit feel genuinely personal.

To put it in perspective, I visited Craft Omakase the very next day. If Craft has earned a Michelin star, I can only imagine it’s a matter of time before Sushi Kozy receives the same recognition!

Second time dining at @sushikozy this time at the counter with @koyonghun and with @rj_yoakum on board. Elegant dishes and sushi, great timing in between courses. Enjoyed my first experience but this one much more, minor but effective improvements since December. Looking forward to returning once the land and sea entrees change @michelinguide #finedining #dallas #michelinguide #nigiri #foodblogger

There’s a specific kind of joy that comes from walking into a room and feeling genuinely taken care of. That was @sushikozy tonight. @rj_yoakum, @jonnycakes90, @bronsonkang and the whole team turned my first evening in Dallas into a delicious and beautiful experience. What a meal. What a place🙏
