There's been quite a bit of new restaurants opening in the H-Mart shopping center in Carrollton. One of the great additions to the center is Abe Japanese Restaurant. I've been there twice so far so that's a good sign cuz I'm going back!
The service is a little slow, but they are fairly new so I would give them some time to get adjusted. The 2nd time was definitely less wait than the first.
This is one of the least expensive Japanese restaurants I've seen in Dallas. They have rice bowls, udon, soba, sushi, and other options. The cool thing about this place is that with every bowl or sushi order, you can make it a combo for an additional $2.50. The combo includes a side salad and your choice of udon (in soup) or cold soba with dipping sauce. And you get Miso Soup with every entree order.
So far I've tried:
Rainbow Roll $8.50~ + Combo (Cold soba with dipping sauce and house salad) $2.50~ 
The sushi was pretty fresh, not the best Rainbow Roll I've had, but for the price it was pretty awesome. The salad was fresh and the dressing was great. The best thing about the meal was definitely the cold soba. The soba was cooked nicely with great texture and the dipping sauce was light but flavorful. (Sure beats the HECK out of Tei An if you ask me...and at a fraction of the cost!!) The portions with the combo is very filling!
Gyu Don (Beef, egg and onions over rice) $7.50~ + Combo (Cold soba with dipping sauce and house salad) $2.50~ 
The beef rice bowl was huge! Lots of meat, good flavor. With the combo, 2 can probably share...
Una Don (Eel, egg and onions over rice) $7.50~ + Combo (Cold soba with dipping sauce and house salad) $2.50~ 
I've never seen Una Don for less than $10...this is awesome! Big portions and the unagi was cooked nicely, very tender!
Chirashi (assorted sashimi over rice) $8.50? 
For the price this is a damn good deal! You can't even get sashimi for this price at other Japanese restaurants!
Don Katsu Entree (fried pork cutlet with rice and salad, freshly ground sesame seeds with don katsu sauce) $8.50~ 
This was amazing! One of the best Donkatsu's I've had in Dallas. It's even comparable to the ones I've had in Taiwan! We also got the combo with this and it was soo much food. The pork was tender with just the right amount of fat and the outside was nice and crisp. They also grate fresh sesame seeds for the dipping sauce for you! YUMMY!
The service speed needs improvement, but as far as the food goes, I'm impressed. Plus the price is just amazing. OH, and you also get a small cup of frozen yogurt at the end to round out your meal. I definitely recommend this place if you are looking for good Japanese food at an affordable price. :)

I don't remember the name on the menu, but this dish is a must try. Sooo much flavor and the sauce on top added a sweetness. You can never go wrong with bacon! :P
I hoped the salmon would be bigger but I guess for the price I should've expected it to be this size. The flavor of the fish was good, but it was slightly overcooked, so it was a little dry. I still prefer misotara (miso cod)...but that's generally more expensive.
It looked like a pretty typical ramen. But the noodles were cooked perfectly and the broth was super flavorful. It's one of the better ramens I've had in the Dallas area. 
The salad was really good...fresh and the dressing was great! 
The sushi was pretty good. The fish was fresh and had nice texture. The california rolls, however, were just ok. I don't think they used real crab...although it didn't taste as bad as some of the fake crab that other restaurants use. 
I REALLY liked the summer rolls. I think it had white tuna, crab, asparagus, and roe in it. The cucumber on the outside made it look really pretty and was very refreshing. The cool and crisp cucumber was a great complement to the rice and fish. Plus the siracha sauce on the side added a nice spicy kick! I would totally order this again.
Like I said about the california rolls, it was ok. The flavor was fine, but the quality just wasn't there. The rice didn't have the right texture and it wasn't made very well (not pretty).
I got to try a piece of the beef. It was very good. Thin slices of beef, tender, lots of flavor, with a bit of sweetness. It was yummy.
