Megu French Japanese Cuisine (@megu_tcu) · Fort Worth, TX
MEGU – Updated 2026, French Japanese Restaurant in Fort Worth, TX
Your First Look at Megu French Japanese Cuisine
Reviews
The chef and wait staff were very friendly, and the chef is clearly enthusiastic about you being there.
Some components were pretty good: the fried dumplings with curry were a pleasant blend of French pastry with Japanese flavors.
The miso soup tasted good
Our waters never got empty, and service was pretty quick.
Here’s where things go wrong:
No one is here on a Thursday evening, and after visiting, I know why
The atmosphere is super odd. Office supplies in the corner, there was a pocketknife casually sitting on the table next to us, the appearance that they are trying to be fancy but in a sketchy old bank building that needs a facelift.
The saddest part is the food. I don’t know what the across the board 5 star reviews are smoking, but I don’t know if I can trust any of them. We ordered a sushi boat for two. It came with a variety of sashimi and sushi. The sashimi all tasted like it had just been thawed and did not taste fresh at all. The tuna and salmon were okay, palatable. The shrimp nigiri was decent. Every other piece of sashimi was pretty bad. The nigiri was slightly better but still did not meet any expectations for the price. There were three sushi rolls: a maki roll, an urumaki roll, and a “dragon roll”. The maki was fine, nothing special, about what you could get at the most basic sushi restaurants. The urumaki was grocery store sushi level. The best food on the boat was sadly the overdressed and Americanized dragon roll. It at least tasted good since the sauces overwhelm any flavor of fish. I am confused by this place because it feels like they want to be upscale sushi with a focus on sashimi and nigiri, but they can’t make either of those well. Instead they can make your run of the mill Americanized roll that you can get at any sushi restaurant for $15-20. Those are the sushi restaurants I try to avoid.
At the end, we had a “New York” cheesecake. It was thin, had no crust on the bottom, was much less sweet and creamy than typical cheesecake.
Finally, when it came time to pay, we were told we had to either pay with cash or write down our card info for them to process later since their POS system was down. Immediately afterwards we were told we had to pay in cash. We don’t carry cash so they suggested we go to the ATM at the 7-11 next door. They gave us the cheesecake for free as compensation, which was good since the cheesecake wasn’t very good.
The pictures appear decent, but the food just isn’t good, especially for the price.
They don’t speak loud enough, and they didn’t understand what we ordered, the chef wanted you to order more than one sushi roll because it’s very small, for me personally it’s a good size, so that insistence on making you order more food was a somewhat uncomfortable interaction .
The food tastes very good, but there are definitely better places to eat good sushi.
The food was amazing!
Servers & chef were so sweet, accommodating & knowledgeable of the menu
Atmosphere- perfect for date night, I noticed a few groups dining in as well.
Currently BYOB, with no corkage fee.
Parking is easy and accessible
Cannot wait to come back & I will absolutely recommended to everyone
I was greeted and seated immediately, as was everyone who followed.
Chef Peter delivered one of his magnificent “Aircraft Carriers” to our table himself and identified each of the beautifully presented sashimi, sushi, and roll offerings, including the Japanese sourced fishes
All of which were divinely, deliciously -silky, tender, light, buttery perfection.
Currently, Megu is BYOB with no corking-fee.
An ice bucket was provided for our white wine and pours offered throughout our meal.
And amazingly, you can bring your vegetarian friends along – vegetarian options available on the menu. You can also request gluten-free soy sauce.
The dining space is small, so I overheard a vegan at a nearby table start their meal with perfect edemame, and then Chef/Owner Peter visited their table to clarify the vegan’s needs and returned later bearing a custom vegan friendly dish.
Chef Peter escorted us graciously to the stair-free exit door.
Initially I had rated the atmosphere a 4 of 5 as it is comfortable not posh but as I wrote this review and reflected on the experience this resulted in the upgrade to a 5 as for my table & from my observation as a whole, the feel of the evening was that we had eaten at a very talented friend’s place rather than a restaurant. We enjoyed lovely background music and soft natural lighting with an exceptionally gracious host.
Megu’s entrance is at the front of the building facing University Drive, making the turn into the parking lot and making your way onto the entrance lanai the only awkward part of the experience. Once inside, Peter’s warmth and expertise lead to fabulous indulging.
I am a TCU student and have been wanting to try this place for a while, but couldn’t find anything online about it! Today, I finally made time to go in and check it out to see a menu and the building, and I ended up getting some of the best sushi I’ve had in a long time! The chef happily talked to me for some time about the restaurant, and proudly told me that he is actually the former owner of the Michelin Star Megu in NYC!
It is so clear how passionate he is about his work, and he happily showed me all of his fresh ingredients, told me about his heritage, walked me through the menu, and asked me about school! It was so clean, and I’m eating my sushi right now! It’s great!!:)
it is definitely a bit pricey, but it is worth the price! I am more-so just saying that since there’s a lot of students in this area so that way they know that this isn’t like McCallister’s or Fuzzy’s or Buffalo Bro’s, but if you’re in for a nice Japanese or French meal, it was delicious! I’m already excited to return and try more menu items!
Also, I took pictures of the menu so that way people in the future would have something to reference so I will attach them to this review!
