We are deeply honored that Tatsu Dallas has retained One MICHELIN Star for the third consecutive year.
This recognition belongs to our entire team and to everyone who supports us every day. I am grateful to our guests, our farmers, fishermen, suppliers, and all the people whose work makes our restaurant possible.
I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to Travel Texas and the tourism organizations of Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, and Fort Worth. Their commitment and support helped bring the MICHELIN Guide to Texas and gave restaurants across our state the opportunity to be recognized.
When my wife and I moved from New York to Texas in 2020, I came with the decision that this would be the final chapter of my life as a chef. Starting again in a new place brought a lot of nervousness and uncertainty, but the people of Texas welcomed us warmly.
Today, Texas is not only where I work. It is our home.
Receiving One MICHELIN Star for three consecutive years is a great honor, but it does not change what I must do tomorrow. I will put on my chef’s coat, enter the kitchen, and continue working as I always have.
I am proud to carry the Lone Star on my back.
My work here is not finished. I will continue to cook, serve our guests, teach the next generation, and do my best to contribute to the food culture of Dallas and Texas.
Thank you to the MICHELIN Guide (official) for this recognition.
And most of all, thank you, Texas.
