Frisco foodies, the wait is over—Musume has officially arrived at The Star, and it’s bringing a whole new level of Japanese culinary magic to our city.
After months of buzz and anticipation, Musume (which means “daughter” in Japanese) has opened its doors at 3625 The Star Boulevard, Suite 315, and it’s already turning heads—and tantalizing taste buds. With 6,000 square feet of sleek indoor and outdoor dining space, this isn’t just a restaurant—it’s an experience.
🍣 A Menu That Dazzles
Musume’s menu reads like a love letter to Japanese cuisine, with fresh fish flown in daily from Japan and dishes that are as artful as they are delicious. Whether you’re a sushi purist or a flavor adventurer, there’s something here to make your palate sing.
Some of the standout creations include:
- Lobster “Seoul” Train – A two-pound Maine lobster in a spicy Korean broth with clams, mussels, and scallops.
- Fire & Ice – Chilled oysters with apple-ginger granita paired with baked miso-parmesan oysters.
- Short Rib Wontons – Served in smoked soy broth with white truffle and chili crisp.
- Black & Gold Roll – Yellowtail teriyaki, shrimp, cucumber, fig, and black truffle aioli.
- Sashimi Flatbread – Yes, you read that right. It’s sushi meets pizza, and it’s glorious.
And if you’re stopping by for lunch, don’t miss the Bulgogi Cheesesteak or Karaage Chicken Tacos—unexpected, unforgettable, and totally crave-worthy.
🍶 Sake, Whisky & Cocktails That Wow
Musume isn’t just about the food—it’s also home to North Dallas’ largest selection of premium sake (over 120 labels!) and Japanese whisky (more than 60 options). And thanks to mixology maestro Gabe Sanchez, the cocktail menu is a showstopper. Try the Ube Painkiller or Black Swan Martini for a sip of something truly special.
🧘♀️ Design That Delights
From the moment you walk in, Musume’s ambiance wraps you in a warm, modern embrace. Think zen lighting, moss installations, floating banquettes, and a sushi bar that feels like a front-row seat to culinary theater.
There’s even a private Tatami room for intimate gatherings and restrooms with themes like “Midnight in Tokyo” and “Sensual Sento”—yes, even the bathrooms are an experience.
One of the most touching elements? A stunning 20×10-foot art installation by 15-year-old Zeb Smith, a local artist battling metastatic cancer. His work adds heart and soul to the space, reminding us that beauty and resilience go hand in hand.
🎉 Happy Hour Heaven
From 2–7 pm Sunday through Thursday, Musume’s lounge and patio come alive with a $12 happy hour menu perfect for sharing. Blackened tuna tacos, handrolls, and tofummus (a tofu-based hummus) are just a few of the bites waiting to be paired with your favorite sake or cocktail.
