“I have visited Uchiko and its sister locations many times over the years. For the most part, the food and service have been excellent. Yesterday, we had a reservation at Uchiko to celebrate my sister’s birthday. I felt somewhat disappointed by the service because we seemed rushed; our plates and chopsticks were removed before our final dish arrived. We were asked to order dessert and given spoons while still waiting for our nigiri. Jack, the manager, checked on tables and was attentive, understanding, and very apologetic when he reached us. The server returned, apologized, and provided another round of two different nigiris on the house, while the manager offered free drinks and a gift card for my sister. Exceptional service like this encourages customers to return. I recognize how hectic a busy night can be, but the staff’s apology and quick recovery turned a negative experience into a positive one. I will not name the server because she made amends and I can understand the chaos on a Saturday night. I appreciate Jack for handling the situation well and caring for us. We will certainly return. Thank you again!”

They brought two glasses of champagne complimentary to help us celebrate a birthday. Very thoughtful. .”

“When we have a meal so perfect that we want to give praise to the establishment, especially when I get treated by my sugar mommy, just to spoil ourselves and celebrate life sometimes. Full disclosure, the generous manager Jessie sent out 2 of her favorite dishes, but I would have reported our wonderful lunch here anyways. Whenever Vanessa has a craving for anything, I simply get that need fulfilled. She wanted some good quality sushi this weekend, so we settled for Soma Sushi among a few options we had in mind. Hoping to see the talented and super nice Chef Omi Higa, we opted for the seating at the Sushi Bar. My choice is easy, the usual Chirashi Sushi, 8 kinds of premium Sashimi over a bed of Sushi Rice with deliciously Pickled Vegetables. Vanessa has a more refined and discrete taste, so she ordered Japanese Uni Sea Urchin, Salmon, O-Toro Fatty Tuna, Tobiko Flying Fish Roe, Spider Handroll, and the trusty old California Roll. The fish is top-notch, naturally flavorful, fresh, and has that faint fatty seafood fragrance that I love; I cannot ask for better quality. I can elaborate with more empty words, but when the ingredients are premium quality and served with well-seasoned and temperate Sushi Rice, there should be as little extra interference as possible. All the Nigiri and Sashimi we had are at max enjoyment level for us. Chef Omi Higa, even though was shopping for his ingredients away from the restaurant, went out of his way to notify the manager Jessie, and she gracefully introduced herself and said hi to us. As we were slowly enjoying our food, and I mean, I really take my time taking deliberate bites, Jessie sent out her favorite dish for us to try. The Madai Tiradito is composed of Sea Bream Sashimi, Orange, Yuzu, Olive Oil, Black Sea Salt, Yuzu Tobiko, Kaiware, Red Onion, Wasabi Yuzu, Serrano, Micro Rainbow Mix, all beautifully plated as shown. Can you imagine the dance of flavors and textures waltzing in your taste palate? Peter or Pedro from Guatamala who took great care of us behind the Sushi Bar, prepared this extraordinary dish for us too. We get to know each other and talk about food and travel, which makes our dining experience so much more hospitable. Just when we were finally attempting the finish all our food, a second surprise arrived. Jessie promised it's the last one because she has to let us try their best seller of the house, Japanese Wagyu Shumai. Don't you just love the sound of that? Premium Wagyu Beef stuffed in a Shumai Dumpling, topped with Truffle Ponzu and Garlic Crunch, can you understand now why this is the top-selling item? We all know the quality and taste of food are always impeccable at Soma Sushi, in addition, the people, management and staffs all handily contribute to elevating an otherwise already perfect lunch. We just hope to can make it here more often.”

“5 Stars! (Only because I couldn’t rate them 10 stars) Soto is a sushi lover's dream. From the moment you walk in, the ambiance is welcoming and stylish, perfect for a relaxing meal. The service is top-notch. Anthony was attentive, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. The sushi was the real star, with fresh, high-quality fish that practically melts in your mouth. The Ora King Salmon was standout, and the Fire Salmon was perfect. Drinks, including their selection of whisky and wine, paired well with our meal. Overall, Soto delivers a memorable dining experience. If you’re in the Houston Area, don’t miss out. Special thanks to our waiter Anthony, the GM Mariela, and of course the master chef behind it all Moto Soto.”

“Started off with the Toro Amaebi Tartare, which was interesting. The taro chips mixed with everything tasted light and creamy. The chawanmushi was decent, but it was a little different than I expected. It had a little bit more liquid at the top of the egg custard. The flavor was fine, nothing overpowered, and it was soft and had that gelatin-like mush to it. The carbonara udon pasta was creamy and tasted exactly how I imagined it would. It was smooth and creamy with a little crispiness from the pieces of bacon. Just make sure you mix the egg into the pasta to give it that rich creaminess. The only dish I would say was underwhelming was the crispy rice. I guess my expectation was a little less rice and more of a balance with the crispy rice around it. It reminded me more of a thick, fried outer crust. However, I did like the fish and meat they used on top of the crispy rice. They all had their own flavors. The handroll tasting was probably the most interesting dish I ordered. It seemed to have a good portion of fish, and they try to keep the seaweed nice and crispy by leaving the plastic film over the seaweed. The flavors of the handrolls were subtle, and they did make a nice presentation. The salmon flight was pretty good. You could definitely tell the difference between the cuts and fattiness of the salmon. My favorite was the aburi cheese. The scorched cream cheese gave the salmon a melted coating of cheese and made it silky and smooth. The nigiri platter was almost like a flight of nigiri. In the order I ate them, they got progressively better. My favorites were the scallop and tuna. The only roll I tried was the Royal Chutoro. The portion had a good ratio of rice to fish, and the tobiko gave it a slight crunch. As for service and parking, parking costs $10 and it’s valet only. If you decide to park on the curb somewhere, you might get a parking ticket actually saw a guy placing tickets on cars. The atmosphere was upscale, and you could tell they were trying to emulate Japan with the Zen inspired decor. Overall, the fish tasted fresh and the vibes were there. The flavors didn’t really elevate or make the fish standout but the quality of the fish were great. However, I do think everything was a bit overpriced compared to competitors. It was $279 for context (before tip).”

“I travel for work and spend a lot of time in Houston, which I call Sooshton, for how many wonderful sushi spots there are. I’ve been wined and dined in the best of them. There has not been an experience I’ve had that rivals the experience I had tonight at Norigami. The dishes, prepared by the chef right in front of you, are top notch, above and beyond expectations. The service is equally as phenomenal. These folks made me feel like a rockstar, heard every word I said on my preferences, and made recommendations that NEVER ONCE missed. Every cent you spend, you fully taste, and experience. I’ve not been to a restaurant where I’ve felt more relaxed, at home, and confident in what I ordered. Every morsel, every sip, every moment, was thoroughly enjoyed thanks to the unbeatable staff here. I hope anyone who sees this review takes the chance to go sit in and experience what I had experienced tonight. Highest recommendations to this wonderful establishment. I can’t wait to come back!”

“Houston Location: We arrived at our reservation and waited 10 minutes for the hostess. Once seated, we were uninstructed on how to order. Sushi chefs explained the process. Our waiter arrived 10 minutes after, taking our drink order. The app arrived before the waters, followed by the drinks after we ordered and received the sushi. The manager noticed us looking for our waiter but was often in the corner on his phone or socializing with the hostess. The sushi chefs were also on their phones while making the sushi, which was unhealthy. Despite the germy seasoning, the food was amazing.”

“A Really Fun Dining Experience at Sushi Masa! Visited Sushi Masa today with a group of 10 coworkers, and we had a wonderful time! The ambience was fantastic, especially with the Halloween decorations. The reception staff were dressed up as zombies, which was such a cute touch. They even had candies, and as someone who loves lollipops, that was a bonus! 😂 I ordered the lunch box, which came with California rolls, chicken teriyaki, fried potstickers, pineapple, vegetables, and fried rice. Everything was fresh and delicious! The chicken teriyaki had a lovely sweet and savory flavor, and the potstickers were hot, crispy, and juicy. The California rolls were freshly made too. There was a slight delay with the soup and salad, probably because we were a fairly large group, but it wasn’t a big deal. Everyone who ordered sushi received their food quickly, and the overall experience was great. A special shout-out to our server! Handling a group of 10 people takes patience, and he did a fantastic job managing everyone’s orders with a smile. Loved the food, lighting, ambience, and hospitality. We had a great time together. Thank you to the entire Sushi Masa team for making our lunch enjoyable. Definitely worth visiting! ❤”

“We did Casa Kenji’s once a month omakase experience last night and absolutely loved it! We’ve done a few other omakase experiences around Houston, but this one was unlike anything we’ve had before. The fusion of traditional sushi with Latin flair was so unique, and you could really tell how much thought and attention to detail went into every single dish and cocktail. We also got to try some harder to find cuts of tuna and learn about the techniques behind the dishes, including the type of charcoal they use for their cooked options. It was such a cool, interactive, and insightful experience! We were especially intrigued to try Casa Kenji after learning the chef spent six years at Uchi before venturing out on his own, and now we can absolutely see why he’s doing his own thing! Everything felt intentional, creative, and thoughtfully put together without losing the fun of the experience. We’re already excited to come back and can’t recommend it enough to anyone looking for something different from the typical omakase experience in Houston!”

The fish isn't high quality like Uchi and nori nori but they give you big slices which is good deal for the price. There's also self service soup with unlimited servings as you like. The food comes at a decent time. If you pay cash, it's a little cheaper so I recommend bringing cash to pay. The place is clean.”

Her friendly demeanor and genuine enthusiasm made our meal even more enjoyable. It's rare to encounter such dedicated and personable service these days.
