Musume, the celebrated Asian and sushi restaurant from Dallas-based Rock Libations Restaurant Group, officially opened its doors at The Star in Frisco.
Located on the second floor at 3625 The Star Boulevard, Suite 315, the 6,000-square-foot space brings a refined Japanese dining experience to North Texas. Guests can now enjoy Musume’s signature dishes, exclusive new menu items and one of the largest sake and Japanese whisky selections in the region.
A Menu Built For Exploration
Led by Executive Chef Yuzo Toyama, Musume’s menu highlights sushi and sashimi with fresh fish flown in daily from Japan, authentic Asian small and large plates and a six- or eight-course Omakase curated daily.
Some standout dishes include:
- Lobster “Seoul” Train: A two-pound Maine lobster with clams, mussels and scallops in a spicy Korean-inspired broth.
- Fire & Ice: Chilled oysters with apple-ginger granita paired with baked miso-parmesan oysters.
- Short Rib Wontons: Served with smoked soy broth, white truffle and chili crisp.
- Black & Gold Roll: Yellowtail teriyaki, shrimp, cucumber and fig, finished with black truffle aioli.
- Lobster Fried Rice: Tempura-battered lobster with habanero jelly, Thai basil and seasonal vegetables.
At lunch, guests will find special offerings like a sashimi salad, karaage chicken tacos and even a bulgogi cheesesteak.
Happy Hour And Drinks
Musume at The Star has introduced a $12 happy hour menu available Sunday through Thursday from 2-7 p.m. Guests can enjoy items like blackened tuna tacos, handrolls, and tofummus in the lounge and on the patio.
For drinks, Musume is unmatched in North Dallas, with more than 120 premium sake labels and over 60 Japanese whiskies. To complement these, acclaimed Dallas mixologist Gabe Sanchez crafted a cocktail program featuring creations like the Ube Painkiller and The Black Swan Martini.
A Striking Space With Local Art
Beyond the food, Musume at The Star delivers a visually stunning dining experience. The restaurant features a Tatami room with sunken seating, two indoor/outdoor bars, a sushi bar, zen-inspired lighting, moss and tree installations and custom sake displays. Even the restrooms — named midnight in Tokyo, sensual sento and animal instincts — were designed with an element of surprise.
One of the most notable design pieces is a 20x10-foot custom art installation created by Zeb Smith, a 15-year-old Booker T. Washington High School student who is currently battling metastatic cancer.
Rooted In Tradition, Elevated For Today
Musume, meaning “daughter” in Japanese, is the creation of Rock Libations co-founders Josh Babb and Sean Clavir. With chef Toyama’s 20+ years of experience in traditional Japanese culinary arts, the restaurant continues to blend authenticity with innovation.
“We’re thrilled to unveil Musume at The Star and invite the local community to dine and drink with us,” said co-owner Josh Babb. “From exclusive menu items and fresh fish flown in daily to our unparalleled collection of sake and Japanese whisky, every detail has been designed to provide an exceptional Japanese culinary experience.”
Musume at The Star is open for lunch and dinner from 11 a.m.–10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m.–11 p.m. Friday, dinner-only 5–11 p.m. Saturday, and 5–10 p.m. Sunday. For reservations, visit Musume at The Star on OpenTable.
