Zen Sushi

With nearly 25 years in the industry, Michelle Carpenter is widely-known as one of the best sushi chefs in Dallas. Her culinary perspective is as unique as she is Michelle is half-Japanese and half-Cajun. After working 12 years at the legendary Yamaguchi's on Inwood, known to many insiders as the best sushi restaurant in Dallas before it closed, Michelle decided to open up Zen Sushi in Bishop Arts District. She prides herself on using the best and freshest ingredients. Each dish on her menu is conceptualized and executed with exacting standards. Rated as one of the top sushi restaurants in Dallas, publications have praised culinary creations as the Nouvelle Yellowtail Sashimi and the Tuna Tartare, southwestern-influences artfully woven into the precise art that is modern Japanese cuisine. However, the true "foodie" will know to call in advance and request the critically acclaimed "Omakase." Michelle will curate a culinary performance of 10 courses for patrons to witness and enjoy.
