This "Japanese Fusion" cuisine restaurant is one of the many newcomers to Henderson, part of the stretch that Andres Properties is trying to "organically redevelop," according to Marc Andres. The Dallas location is the second (the first opened in Fort Worth), and the digs are very Asian modern chic.

True to its name, the menu has plenty of sushi and sashimi offerings, including chef specialty sashimi. The list of rolls, both classic and hand, is extensive — as is the entire menu. Even if you don’t like raw fish, it would be difficult to eat here and not find something to tempt your tastebuds.

The sea bass with miso sauce is excellent, very subtle. For an appetizer, try the vegetable tempura, a plentiful serving with a lightly battered assortment of veggies. I also enjoyed the spicy tuna and crab nachos — yum!

This is great place for late-night munchies because Sushi Axiom offers a reverse happy hour, 9-11 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 10 p.m.-midnight on Friday and Saturday. It includes $2 drink specials and half-price on select appetizers and sushi rolls.
