Overall had a nice experience.Vegetarian options: Sushi, fish, soups and rice options to choose fromParking: In Kroger shopping center lot of available spots“

“The indonesian fried rice & sweet soy sauce noodles with shrimp & chicken were so delicious! I'll definitely be back. The ambiance was good too. Only thing that knocked it to 4 stars was the restroom. There wasn't a baby changing station in the women's restroom and the floor looked pretty dirty. The curry beef was ok, the texture of the beef wasn't the best, pretty chewy. The server was polite and food came out decently quick for being authentic indo cuisine.“

“The evening duo they got with the manager J and the server Jerry was phenomenal!!!!First the server was super Friendly and second the manager was very knowledgeable.... Like ,Wow ?? That curry chicken shrimp was delish, thank you Jerry for that suggestion. That crab puff pairing was really the best add on from the manger“

“We popped in for an unplanned bite with friends. We didn’t have a reservation and I highly recommend one. We were glad to be gifted one hour given our resy gaffe.Our waitress was charming and attentive. As expected, our food was high quality and delicious. While one of my favorite nigiri fishes tends to be loup de mere, the kanpachi was the winner of the hour!“

“When we arrived we were promptly greeted and seated. It did take our server to get to us a good 10 minutes before talking and telling us what the concept and food recommendations were. The setting of the restaurant is clean, and airy due to the sun room setting on one side of the restaurant. To start us off, we did some drinks that were good but did not find any favourites. The two cold starters were: Hamachi Yuzu: 2/5 because the yuzu yoghurt was overpowering and the kombu powder left a sandy grit texture on the teeth that made it almost annoying to eat. Could barely taste the hamachi. Madai Carpaccio: 1/5 because the crunchy togarashi and black sesame soy sauce enveloped the Madai and the saucy component was too strong to complement the fish. Oyster with caviar was fresh and briny. Very tasty. 5/5. Would recommend avoiding the cold starters besides the oysters and moving straight to the nigiri and hot components of the menu. From the nigiri portion, we ordered: Hotate, salmon, gizzard shad, akami, amaebi and madai. Fresh, fatty, flavoursome cuts of delicious fish. Definitely recommend, 5/5. Also, tried the Olive A5 wagyu nigiri with black truffle and it was unctuous and absolute yum! From their hot portion, we got the baby back ribs, iberico shumai, and lobster with sake miso. The baby back ribs were falling off the bone, tender and seasoned to perfection. The shumai was good with a pipette of ponzu sauce. The lobster was rich, not overcooked and the panko with the miso sake lent it a Mac and cheese-esque quality to it. Would definitely get these again. For dessert go the Japanese melon which was sweet and juicy and had none of the chemical aftertaste that is found in the fruits here in the states. The green tea kakigori was airy and light. Usually not a fan of red bean ice cream or desserts but this one came with a really nice red bean ice cream. Would have liked the portion to be more to balance out the shaved ice. Overall it was a great time! Price wise it was affordable for the amount of food we ordered.“

“Always come here for a date night, & I must say Lucia is one of the best waitress to ever have! Always on point when it comes to refills and checking up on us to make sure everything tasting good. LOVE LOVE the food. Will definitely be coming back!“

“Awesome experience, highly recommend“

“Amazing food with excellent staff/service!“

“Food was super good and the staff was friendly!“

“Been going to Roka for years and I've experienced outstanding food and service on every visit. This is exactly why I continue to return over and over! Love the ambiance and exemplary attentiveness by the servers and management. Will be back again soon!“

“Brand new restaurant. This is a quickly growing franchise out of atlanta. It is a really unique place. They have a fusion of Asian Foods including some really fun stuff like a sushi donut, Sushi corn dog and even sushi pizza! The ramen portions are large and packed full of proteins and vegetables. You will not go away hungry. The Thai iced tea is awesome as well, like an Asian Starbucks frappuccino. The food came out really fast. They have a very easy to get to location right off the Southwest Freeway highway 6 exit ramp. They also have an awesome patio which I plan to hang out on quite a bit. They are also right next to some super popular night Hangouts, Pacific Coast tacos and Spectators Bar and Grill. This will be my new favorite hangout for a while.“

“The food and service was impeccable. Ro had those Lychee Martinis popping!!!“

“Went on a Wednesday for all day Happy Hour with some friends. Had beer, wine and the omakase - this is an excellent spot, the service was impeccable even at the bar.Drinks were kept flowing, the sushi and the oysters on the omakase were to DIE for. I live in the area so super nice to have a great sushi place nearby.Highly recommend taking advantage of the HH here. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Amazing experience. The food is awesome and the service is top notch“

“TL,DR: Some of the best sushi in the Houston area, with super creative and tasty rolls!This hidden gem sushi spot is tucked away in the corner of a strip mall in Sugar Land, TX and I’m so glad I tried it! Their sushi rolls IMO are in the upper echelon of quality for Houston sushi spots, especially when considering the relatively affordable price ($14-$16 per roll). Also, all of their rolls are plated and decorated very nicely, which definitely improves the experience as well. Will definitely be frequenting this place more often when I want sushi! Here’s what I ordered:-Suki Special Roll - shrimp tempura and cucumber topped with tuna, salmon, spicy crab, tobiko and green onion-Highway 6 Roll - unagi eel and fresh crab meat-Miu Miu Roll - fresh crab meat, tobiko fish roe, shrimp tempura, spicy mayo-Agedashi Tofu“

“Such a lovely sushi spot! It looks like a sweet older couple runs the whole show, from the kitchen and sushi station, to serving tables. They don't take orders over the phone so if you want to-go, you still have to wait your turn in person. Their menu is huge for just two people managing the entire restaurant. The sushi pieces are so big, so the rice ratio is sometimes too much but I don't mind. Their yellowtail and spicy scallop sushi were my favorites, I would definitely come back just for that. The tonkatsu rice was delicious too! The slightly crispy battered pork with egg and rice was such a comforting combination. The wait is a bit long but that didn't bother us or anyone around us. The sushi is 100% worth it!“

“Love how Neo pays attention to the smallest details to ensure a fine dining experience. The staff were attentive and respectful, Chef was knowledgeable and talented, and food was incredible. We went on 3/4/24 for the Sushi Omakase and our favorites were Masu, Madai Crudo, Maitake, and the Maguro Handroll. Highly recommend!“

“Very nice atmosphere. Loved the happy hour vibes at the bar and the bartender was very knowledgeable of the menu and poured a nice drink after a long week. Will be back!“

“The food was very good. Nice slices of fish to rice ratio on the nigiri. The rolls were also very fresh and not much rice either which is nice. The tempura vegetables were great, fresh and fried to perfection. I was impressed with the service too. Andrea was our waitress and she was very attentive. The food came out quickly event though there were busy, we got there at 1pm on a Monday after Easter. Keep in mind Fort Bend schools were out, this definitely contributed to the crowd. The restaurant was clean and nice as normal. We will be going back.“

“I enjoyed my experience overall. The all you can eat menu has a lot of options and is totally worth the money. I wouldn’t recommend the ribs though, they are salty.The sashimi is awesome! My favorite is the pepper seared tuna.They had a 19 top table( prom kids) and still served us in a timely manner with kindness. We’ll def be back!“

“The food is delicious, the people who work there from the Chef, waders have such a fun full personality very welcoming just a chill and cool atmosphere love this place every time I come to Houston“

“We really enjoyed the food at Aya. The sushi dishes are unique enough to distinguish itself from our regular sushi haunts. From the crudo dishes, the tempura, the nigiri, and even the dessert were all very enjoyable. We'll definitely be coming back.What we really enjoyed:Salmon tatami (crudo)Amberjack nigiriKing mushroom401 makiMomo MakiCauliflower tempuraMiso apple pie with ice cream to finish it off!“

“I’m writing this review a little late. I went in In December with my sister and her friends and tried their broth noodles. We each loved our own choice of soup. I got the ‘kakuni’ it has a salty taste to it which I like when paired with the noodles. My sister got the ‘Niku niku’ this has a flavorful broth. It reminded me a lot of the Vietnamese pho.When I came back with my friends after January I got the ‘mentako cream’ (I think I spelled that wrong) with katsu. I liked the cold noodles, but the noodles weren’t very filling (I could have just been really hungry). The broths were more filling and are still my favorite.“

“Went for our sons birthday on a Friday night and glad it wasn't busy. The place was small and cozy. Sushi and food was fresh and really good. Food came out quick and service was really nice. They got nice lunch specials and all day happy hour. We'll definitely be back.“

“The food was amazing! Services were outstanding! The manager Tanya was very helpful on drinks and sushi recommendations.“

“Super trendy and stylish restaurant with outstanding sushi! Each hand roll is made fresh when you are ready for the next roll so the seaweed will stay fresh and crispy. Each bite is flavored perfectly so can forgo the soy sauce and wasabi. Look for the hidden bar with thousands of origami cranes hanging above, such an eye-catching statement piece! We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner there!“

“This is THE place for when my girlfriends and I do Girls Night Out and birthdays! Their food is fresh, flavorful, and doesn't disappoint. The service here is generally good, but at times the food waiting time can vary-- some days it's super quick and comes out back to back, other days it comes out slow and you're waiting for your next plate.“

“We had the assorted sashimi plate which comes with 32 (?) pieces, da bomb roll, and potato and corn and crab croquettes, also some temakis. It’s definitely worth the wait time, and they are mostly busy. We went on a Monday evening and had to wait ~15 mins but it went by faster than that. All good, fish is fresh for the most part and prices are so fair. Will be back again :)“

“I had a great experience at Teriyaki Kitchen! I absolutely adore the waiter! He had such fun energy! The service was amazing and the food was really good! I can’t wait to come back for some Udon!!Also, the vibe is really cool. I loved the decor. And the music was the perfect volume. I really enjoyed the music actually. I would definitely recommend this place!“

“Iwa Ya on Bellaire Blvd hit the spot for lunch today! The atmosphere was inviting, and the service was quick and friendly. We dove into their delicious spider roll, savoring the fresh ingredients and perfect texture. The katsudon was another winner, with its crispy pork cutlet and flavorful sauce. Even the miso and corn chowder soup impressed, offering a warm and comforting start to the meal. And to top it off, the prices were reasonable! Highly recommend Iwa Ya for a satisfying and enjoyable lunch experience.“

“It's a great place if you're craving Asian-style fried foods. The fried foods here are extra crispy and look very tempting. I was here in 2021 and did not post a review then. Therefore, I came back and ordered a Combo D from Krazy, which provides a sample of most of their fried items. It takes awhile before you receive your meal because they start frying the stuff after you place your order. Surprisingly, my favorite item was their fried fish. It is crispy on the ouside and tender on the inside. The pork katsu was okay but more toward the dry side. I would pass on the fried shrimp next time because it's just too dry. Cheese Katsu, although it looks very tempting, it is just average. I would personally recommend the king pork katsu to everyone. Due to the large portion of the pork, it is more moist after deep frying. I hope they give more rice than just a small cup. Overall, it's a good restaurant with a clean environment.“

“Got the takoyaki, gyoza, and karaage for appetizers. The karaage lacked a little flavor, but the takoyaki and gyoza were great. I got the miso ramen and don't normally like miso ramen, but the flavor in this one was incredible. Loved the wooden booth inside, and the service was fast as well“

“One of the most popular shopping center in Houston, especially on Bellaire Blvd. in SW Houston. Many restaurants and retail stores.“

“General Description:A traditional Japanese restaurant. They have booths and a sushi bar.The space is on the smaller side.The good:- Tonkatsu Ramen: Broth was a bit different than most Japanese style ramen. I don't like fatty/heavy broth base. This one was on the lighter side.- Yellowtail sashimi was on the fresher side.The bad:- Chicken was rubbery.- Broccoli was overcooked.- Wasabi mix was watered down.Overall:Worth trying.“

“Amazing food and experience! Shout out to Tony for showing us the ropes!“

“Update: Thanks for your prompt feedback. I edited the post and give 4 stars for your nice gesture of following up on the review. I like your restaurant. Will be back when the Chef comes back.“Did you change the chef or the chef went vacation? If he or she does, please let me know when they came back. The broth tastes different. More salty than it used to be. Order 2 togo BBH. Missing basils and mints in my bag of vegetable. Server was polite. ““

“We were in town for a Texans game and decided to give this restaurant a try. Great choice. The Brussel sprouts tempura style were delicious. The fried rice choices were very good. The wait staff was so nice and attentive. Recommend? Definitely“

“I recently dined at Sasaki Japanese Restaurant in Houston, Texas, and it was an absolute delight! The food was exceptional, Here are some highlights:*Flavorful Sushi and Sashimi: The sushi and sashimi were incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and had authentic Japanese flavors.*Intimate Atmosphere: Sasaki is a cozy little gem tucked away on Westheimer Road. The intimate ambiance adds to the overall experience. It’s perfect for a quiet dinner or a special occasion.*Attentive Service: The staff at Sasaki went above and beyond to make our dining experience memorable. From recommendations to timely service, they truly cared about our satisfaction.I wholeheartedly recommend Sasaki. It’s a hidden gem that deserves more recognition.“

“Great food! Best service!“

“Before going to the Houston rodeo, I stopped by to park my car and get something to eat. My friend found out that this restaurant opens at 11:00am. But the shop owner welcomed us from 10:30am. The food tastes good. The shrimp tempura in particular came out really well. The food is served quickly and continuously. The atmosphere of the restaurant is comfortable and comfortable. My only complaint is that I thought the sushi was a bit small.“

“Tried this new shabu place for the first time, and it was enjoyable. Went for the AYCE lunch, which sets you back $21.99. The price is very fair, given the variety of meats that are available. Service was attentive and the food was great. You can choose and even change from several different types of soup bases, which get refilled. Children under 4 eat free. Interior of the restaurant is bright and shiny, new and modern. Plenty of seating available on weekday when I went. Friend enjoyed the included shaved ice after the meal. Will definitely come back with the family next time we are craving hotpot in the Chinatown area.“

“Very tasty rolls that seem to always hit the spot. Quick service. Fair prices. Maybe a little rough around the edges but definitely a comfort zone.“

“AMAZING food Phenomenal service & their twist on The Old Fashion is one of the best I’ve tried!!“

“We decided to go Friday even for a quick bite and was looking for a new to us sushi place and we found Umami on Yelp had good reviews so figured why not. The restaurant is decorated nicely with a nice atmosphere. The service was impeccable as we were being check on quite frequently. As for the food , it was awesome, from the rolls to the freshly sliced fish. So if your over in Riverstone or find your self out that way stop in a give them your $$, you won't regret it.“

“I have a shellfish allergy so I'm usually rather nervous about eating in restaurants like this. The waitress was really nice when I told her about it as I ordered and she was keen to inform the chef. The sushi I received was amazing and the kitchen used top notch safety procedure regarding cross contamination. Solid place to go before the movies at Regal.“

“The food was always amazing at this place, i read some reviews and seem to ding oreferences instead of being familiar with the cuisine and way they are done typically. The food is amazing specially given the price, quality of dishes and service. I would highly recommend this restaurant and will go if im in the city.“

“Our server John made my night, I was having a pretty rough evening and I had ordered the wrong thing and he helped make it right. He made me feel very validated and not ashamed of myself for making a mistake and turned my night around for the better. Thank you John, I really really appreciate it so much.“

“Amazing tonkotsu!! Definetly going again. Has good prices too.“

“I am so in love with the salmon roll, shaggy dog, and dragon ball! Seriously, you have no idea how fresh and delicious the salmon tastes. It's like a taste explosion in my mouth! And let me tell you, the shaggy dog roll is absolutely divine. It's the perfect balance of flavors that leaves me feeling completely satisfied. But you know what really takes the cake? The dragon ball roll. Every time I sink my teeth into it, pure joy washes over me. It's like a little piece of sushi heaven. Even my little one can't get enough of it. It's a family favorite for sure!“
