Best Authentic Restaurants in Deep Ellum

Great pizza. Excellent customer service. Cool vibe

I come to Niwa weekly and there’s a reason I always keep coming back! Joe, Steven, Alex and Angel are always wonderful and pay close attention to my allergies. The food is fantastic and not overpriced. Jimmy has stopped by my table a few times on separate occasions and is always an absolute gem to talk to. The food, staff and ambiance are 1000/10 and I will always recommend this place to everyone I know! If you can’t make up your mind when looking at the menu a few of my favorites are the filet, hanger steak, 44 farms short rib, pork jowl, zucchini, mushroom medley, ajitama eggs, wagyu deviled eggs and you can’t leave without getting a bag of the spicy OG Wagyu Boyz beef jerky, it is to die for!

Absolutely amazing! Kitchen table Chefs Tasting Menu was fantastic. You are in the kitchen as they prepare your meal, but that have created a much more “homey” style kitchen rather than the traditional commercial kitchen. The food and explanation of the menu as you eat is fantastic! The Mezcal selection is amazing as well. If you don’t rent out the whole table (8 guests I think) you will be seated with others which could be good or bad depending on your luck. I would rent out this table for a group in a heartbeat and enjoy a night of cocktails and amazing food. I will 1000% be going back. Maybe try the main dining room and traditional experience, but that will be hard since I know what the kitchen holds for its guests. I can tell why he won Beard Awards.

Our waiter was so cool and chill, only reason I gave 4 stars was because the hostesses took forever to sit us at a table that was open since we had walked in right next to the door.

Amazing food and cocktails!!! Great service too. We had lamb chops and mezze
