The food was absolutely incredible—each dish was beautifully presented, bursting with flavor, and clearly crafted with care and creativity. Every bite was a perfect balance of sophistication and comfort. The service was outstanding—attentive without being overbearing, and the staff truly made us feel welcomed and valued. You can tell they take pride in every detail. As for the atmosphere, it was stunning. Elegant, warm, and thoughtfully designed, it created the perfect backdrop for a special night out. Honestly, BCN deserves a Michelin Star—it’s that good. We’ll definitely be back and can’t recommend it enough!”

“This was our first time here. Great service, great food, wonderful sake. Huge menu! Unfortunately, we sat at the sushi bar but we couldn't see the chefs prepare and they did not interact with us.”
“My parents and I visited Aga’s restaurant and were amazed at not only the quality of food but also the service. This is easily one of, if not the best meal we’ve ever eaten. I cannot recommend this place enough! Such a warm and welcoming environment! Everything about this restaurant was great. The place was clean and smelled good. The staff and greeter were very nice. Our waiter Khatija was awesome, the staff also worked as a team in bringing and cleaning up our food. The food was fresh and awesome. Great atmosphere with really nice people. The floor manager took his time to welcome my family and made it his main priority to adjust everything to our liking. Especially nowadays with COVID-19, it’s hard to find a clean but comfortable restaurant environment I felt like my family was number 1. Also, it felt like I was over at family or friends. So I would like to take the opportunity to thank Mr.Sufiayn, Mr.Shawqat, and Ms.Khatija from the bottom of my heart.”
“1/12/2025-This is a awesome vibe here. The ambiance is a nice bistro with some crazy art to keep you entertained but the music and lighting sets the mood. I would come back here again and again. I visited here without a reservation and was greeted when I first came in. The staff was nice friendly and attentive. Emma was awesome and recommended some dishes. The burger, half chicken, rice, and sesame butter cookie were awesome and the drinks. I had the voodoo drink. I highly recommended and you won't be disappointed.”

The southwest egg rolls are to die for. Cedric and JD are a great pair. Service was top notch, decor was clean and welcoming. Fair prices on everything especially during happy hour. Can't wait to go back with friends.”

Some of the best wine selections. If you have not enjoyed a meal, try them. You will be coming back for more. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Food is awesome, the people are nice and friendly, and love how well kept and clean it is.”
“This is a nice restaurant with friendly service. The food was tasty, and the portion sizes were quite large. The price is also quite reasonable. I guess the best thing was that the food came out piping hot, which was welcomed. Nice old school Naija music was playing softly, which created a nice homely ambiance. I will surely be visiting again to try the amala and abula.”
“Outdoors, good snack selection. Reasonable prices. Friendly order taker. Outdoors seating area. Will continue to visit.
Parking: Open area to park, enough parking for those dining in.”

“We flew from Pensacola FL and had to visit. When I saw EVERYTHING was on point and delicious. Staff was so friendly, food was hot & fresh and I have NEVER had better tasting food from a restaurant. I normally can’t say everything was good when I visit a new place. We can on Saturday and again this morning before our flight. See y’all soon ??❤️”
“Came to try the pizza and was totally blown away by all of the food!!! The pane was delicious and light seasoned perfectly. The ricotta appetizer was delicious but very heavy on onions. So be aware. The special pizza of r here evening was calabrese and was really good. Nice Napoli fold on the crust! Good sauce that wasn’t too sweet. Desserts were great!! Almond biscotti was amazing!! Latte was a really good coffee!! Amour server was delightful and very attentive. We felt right at home and no rushed at all. Will be back! The menu has so many items we want to try!”

“Chicken & Waffles that I will be salivating in memory of for weeks. Truly special. Makes the loss of L0la almost bearable.
Crazy packed at 10:30 on a weekday, nowhere to sit. Seating/environ/accomodations/decor uncomfortable and poorly thought through but not that big of a deal”

“A Fancy Night Out… But Just Once
If you’re looking for a quiet, almost whisper-level dinner spot with unlimited sake and wine (yes, unlimited—but you don’t get to pick), this omakase experience might be your jam. Just don’t show up too early unless you enjoy standing awkwardly outside like you’re trying to sneak into a club that only opens 15 minutes before the show.
There are only 10 seats total, so it feels exclusive—like you’re part of a secret sushi society. The atmosphere is very quiet. Like, “you can hear your chopsticks think” kind of quiet. If you’re into zen vibes and hushed conversation, you’ll love it. If you’re looking for a party vibe… this ain’t it.
We were celebrating our anniversary (other couples were there for birthdays), and while they did ask about special occasions, nothing actually happened after that. No candle, no “Happy Anniversary” scribbled in miso, not even an extra piece of fish. It’s fine—we weren’t expecting fireworks, but a little something would’ve been nice.
The food? Delicious. Truly. You can tell each piece was prepared with care, and some bites were borderline spiritual. That said, for the price… it’s probably a one-and-done kind of deal for us. Glad we tried it, wouldn’t rush back.
Bonus tip: Limited parking right in front, so plan ahead or practice your parallel parking skills.”
“This restaurant embodies refined taste and consistent excellence. Every item on the menu is thoughtfully crafted, flawlessly prepared, and never disappoints. The ambiance is clean, elevated, and inviting — a true testament to hospitality done right. Living just down the street, we find ourselves returning often, and each visit feels like an experience. Worth every penny for those who appreciate quality without compromise.”
“Best omakase I ever had , came here for the first time and first experience with omakase, omg food so delicious, especially when Chef Billy using special charcoal to sear the Toro and wagyu beef , the smell of charcoal making me drooling until he handle the Toto to me, omg it melted into my mouth ,,, especially Chef Billy , his smile is the bomb , feel so lucky to have hot handsome chef serve me food in front of me ,,, he always very funny , all the staffs are so friendly, I love all the dishes, the hairy crab is fantastic, I would recommend this place 💯 I can’t wait to come back”
“CUTEST place with great atmosphere, deeeelicious food AND aaahmazing service! Our entire party enjoyed every thing we ordered - the queso (most important), the pork skins, the chicken & waffles were toooo die for, the bacon wrapped shrimp, rice & beans and the burgers! Thank you so much!!”
“I rate 5 stars. Recommend this place good food and good service”

“Our server was Diane and I had a wonderful experience at Denny’s thanks to our amazing server! She was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything came out just right. Even during a busy rainy time, she remained calm, professional, and made us feel genuinely welcome. You can tell she care about their work and the people they serve. Thank you for making our meal so enjoyable—great service makes all the difference, and you definitely delivered that! Hats off to the cooks too it was delicious!!! We will be back to this location.”
“Stephanie was an absolutely fantastic server! She was so kind, attentive, and really made our dining experience special. Her positive attitude and genuine care for us made all the difference. We felt so well taken care of, and her excellent service truly made the meal enjoyable. Stephanie is an awesome person, and we can't wait to come back! Highly recommend her if you're ever here!”
“The food was good but I was disappointed in the pie tasted very old.”
“Shawnee and Mirabel are two of the best servers they have. They both help each other with orders to ensure your food is always to you correctly and piping hot. They are fives in my book. I've been ordering pumpkin loaded pancakes for 3 months. No matter which one makes them they are always awesome.”
“This was my first time trying the food, and I must say it was excellent. The wings were perfectly seasoned all the way through, and I appreciated that they were whole wings, not just wingettes. The Kool-Aid was tasty, and the gyro sandwich was also well-seasoned. The wait time is a bit longer than usual, but since everything is cooked fresh, I didn’t mind. The location is in a somewhat sketchy strip mall, but just park, head inside, place your order, and leave—it's not an issue. While I wasn’t a fan of the fries, the main dishes were great. Bottom line: I’ll definitely be back.”
“Great food at a reasonable price Waiter was awesome. Definitely worth it and will be back again”

“This is the best coffee shop in Sugar Land, I just wish they had even more locations! They really know how to brew, the staff is knowledgable and friendly, and there's space to sit and chill no matter how full it is. I love how they have so many outlets for creatives that want to work. I need a blend In co-working space right now!”
“Took my 3 very picky teenage daughters here for some pho. They loved it. Slurped up most of the broth. I had the crushed rice and grilled pork. It was amazing. Love the sauteed green onions on the perfectly cooked crushed rice. Looking forward to trying their banh mis.”
“Love it here! Vibes are great and the owners are so sweet!”
“Anvil Bar is one of those places that just gets it right. The second you walk in, the vibe is on point chill, fun, and full of good people. If you're looking to have a great time, be around awesome energy, and sip on some unreal cocktails, this is the spot. Trust me on this one-no notes needed.

The drinks are of the highest level, and the service is seriously top-tier. Massive shoutout to Mabel, Corey, and Manny the man🧍♂️ and the whole team. They’re all super professional, but still keep things relaxed and fun. You feel welcomed, taken care of, and honestly, like part of the place.
There’s this younger, fresh energy that makes you want to stay all night. Whether you're out with friends or just stopping by, Anvil always hits. Keep it up, guys-you're doing something special. Can’t wait to come back.
Best,
Manny the honey 🍯🙏”
“Hands down the best sushi in H-Town. The Sashimi Sampler (and honestly everything else we had) was superb. The server gave recommendations and the otoro was to die for. Beer, sake, and whiskey were excellent. This is the place, hands down, no debate.”
“The women are wonderful And the drinks are cold Thanks Jaylynn”

“Craving some smoky goodness? Pinkerton's delivers on the brisket, offering decent cuts that tantalize the taste buds. However, the sausage fell flat, lacking that burst of savory spice we all crave. While the mac and cheese provided some cheesy comfort, the overall experience left us wanting a bit more flavor punch. It's a solid 6 out of 10, good for a casual BBQ fix but not quite the pitmaster's paradise we were hoping for.”
“For the amount of employees that were working and the amount of customers they had in their hands on a Friday night the food was amazing. Everything was fresh and delicious. Cynthia was extremely kind providing such amazing customer service She had the patience to help me navigate through the menu as it was my first time here. It was a little wait to get my order but She was amazing for helping out i loved this place! Will definitely come back !!”
“We were in the area for an Artwalk event so we Googled for a place nearby we could satisfy our sushi craving. Wow! What a fantastic find! Jellyfish is located on busy Ella Blvd in a very modest inconspicuous shopping strip - if you’re not looking, you’re going to miss it. Don’t miss out though!! This place has delicious food and you’ll experience excellent service. Everything was super fresh and prepared to perfection. I enjoyed the hibachi steak/chicken, grilled veggies & steamed rice. The meats were tender as were the veggies perfectly grilled & seasoned as well. We shared a roll of Sushi that was masterfully prepared by cooks that know how to do it. The restaurant is simple inside but kept very clean. We had no problem with parking. Restrooms very clean. We will return and recommend Jellyfish to others for fresh authentic Japanese cuisine.”
“the blending of toppings, sauce and light tasty crust are masterfully done! staff is friendly, atmosphere is great, drink selection both soft and alcoholic is vast, and I've yet to take someone who hadn't been impressed. great job team TGP 👏 I can't wait to see what you all bring in the future”
“My husband and I are in Houston for his cancer treatment at MD Anderson. Needless to say, not a trip for fun, but it’s his birthday today, and we wanted to get out of the hotel at the hospital and celebrate just a little. Because he has stage 4 stomach cancer, his dietary needs are limiting, so eating out can be difficult. I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant. This being our first trip to Houston, we know little about the area, and our cab driver helped us decide on Navy Blue. Well, can I just tell you, they were soooooo accommodating of our needs!!! The chef went out of his way to prepare some special items for us, so my husband could eat. Though his portion size is limited, he thoroughly enjoyed his food, as did I. I ordered a small appetizer of baked in butter Prince Edward Island oysters, simply prepared, and oh so delicious. My husband loves oysters, but they haven’t loved him since he’s been sick. He even had one, and enjoyed it. My husband also loved the cheddar biscuits, and seaweed butter, I couldn’t believe he was able to eat the whole biscuit. They have a simply prepared section in their menu, and you can order your seafood pan seared in olive oil with simple seasonings. This was great for his situation, and he had beautiful pink juicy gulf shrimp. I had the Dover sole, and it was perfectly prepared and boned tableside. Gorgeous presentation, and the fish was absolutely delicious. I ordered the sautéed spinach, and he the creamed potatoes. We shared those, and both were delicious. All the staff were well trained in service and they were super attentive. Our server was magnificent. Thank you Navy Blue for showing us a lovely night out, in an otherwise difficult time. We highly recommend your restaurant to anyone in the Houston area looking for fabulous food, fabulous service, and exquisite attention to detail. This place is wonderful!!!”
“Had an absolutely amazing experience there for Brunch today! We took our 97 year old Aunt and the staff treated her like a queen! our waiter was so was AWESOME! I had to call the Manager over to brag about him! Food was creative and delicious! I highly recommend!”
“Excellent service and food! Highly enjoyed our first visit”

“We enjoyed an incredible dinner at Pappas Bros. Steakhouse on Westheimer Road in Houston. The ambiance was refined and inviting, setting the stage for a memorable evening; though the lively atmosphere made it a bit noisy at times. We both opted for the 8 oz filet mignon paired with au gratin potatoes, and every bite was outstanding. The steak was exceptionally tender, bursting with rich, savory flavor, while the potatoes were decadently cheesy and the perfect complement. To finish, we shared a slice of key lime pie, which struck the ideal balance between tart and sweet. Our waitress was fantastic—warm, attentive, and instrumental in making the experience even more enjoyable. From start to finish, it was a top-tier dining experience!”
“MF is my favorite sushi place in Houston. Ive tried many of them and just keep coming back to this one. Everything on the menu us amazing but if you have to pick something, their Nigiris are delicious and a must try!
We recently had the Omakase experience and every single item was exquisite. A must have experience!”
“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.”
“Once again Turner's Cut outdid themselves. The food is of course phenomenal but honestly for us the best part is the staff and the relationships we have built. In this day and age it is so nice to be recognized, remembered and seen by the service industry. We cannot recommend this restaurant and its staff highly enough. Betsy, Richard, Cecil, Brittany and Royston you guys are the absolute best! We will see you in about 4 weeks for the oldest boy's 23rd bday and the youngest boy's college send off! I might need some extra martinis! Thank you for your intentionality and service! Still our favorite steak in Houston! GO SEE THEM!”
“Updated- I was able to try the “new” Andiron recently. The menu is a bit different. Gone are the expensive Wagyu meats and some new items have been added. Fortunately, the space kept its classic elegance and much of the same great staff remains. The martinis are still the best. I wouldn’t say the place is much less expensive but there are more options at a fair price for the quality and service. I had the market fish with a green pea hummus and curry sauce. The Caesar salad was delightfully unique with plenty of freshly grated Parmesan and a hint of citrus zest. This place is still one of my favorites in town. AND they still have their happy hour, a great way to give them a try.”
“Best restaurant experience of my entire life. Quality of food is absolutely unbeatable.
I have travelled more than 48 countries and trust me the food here is better than anything Ive tried ever before.
Can’t say enough about it, just that it is worth to literally get a flight from OC to Houston only for this absolutely incredible experience and quality food here.
Keep up the great quality please.
Btw: Sara Habibi was our waitress, she added extra joy to our night.
I LOVE UCHIKO for life.”

“It’s was great experience , It’s an excellent food hall/bar, the food selection is an international mix- so many great choices to choose from, not to mention they have great parking!! A must go too and give it a try, I promise you won’t be disappointed. I had the bulgogi rice bowl and the kimchi fries a must try no regrets here lol, from Seoulside Wings and Rice Tried out the dessert strawberry tres leches from Luv ‘em, it was ok it was a little overpriced in my opinion. $8.50 for slice Over all experience was excellent!”
“Trying to beat this HTOWN heat with drive through Bahama Mama frozen daiquiri...So good 👍👍. Making the most of COVID19”
“I visited this place yesterday. Not sure how long it's been there but it is currently fighting for my favorite place to get Bahn mi. The meatball bahn mi was.... wetter than I'm use to, but But BUT OMG the flavor is ALL there! That grilled pork tho! What can I say? If I lived closer I would be standing outside waiting for them to open....ev VA re day. Being the big back that I am there are thing I would do a lil different. But I'm telling this is one of them places that will be getting my money even if I have to dig in my couch, raid my car, rob my kids or just work like a good father. Remember this is just one fat boy's opinion. Try it for yourself, you might like it. Then again.... you might not. I will be back that is both a threat and a promise!🥰”
“The food was delicious! The staff was willing to work with us regarding some food allergies and accommodated them without sacrificing quality. The service was personal, friendly and cheerful. We each had plenty of scrumptious food for a second meal. We enjoyed the casual atmosphere of family members walking in and out and the unusual experience of the location in the gas station. You can’t go wrong eating here. 5 stars all around.”
“Second time trying Spicy Girl and it did not disappoint! First time we ordered to-go and even just picking it up, I knew right away this was a spot I needed to come back and enjoy in person. The dine-in experience was just as good (if not better) small, cute, vibey atmosphere that makes the food hit even harder.
The food? 🔥 Flavor-packed both times, exactly what you want from Sichuan cuisine. And then there’s Kim our server; LOVED HER! Hands down one of the highlights of the night. Full of life, hilarious, and just a joy to be around. Honestly, she's another reason we’ll be coming. back.
Now, let’s talk parking… it’s street parking only and on a Saturday night it can feel like survival of the fittest. Between Spicy Girl being busy and the popular pizza spot across the street, “you have to get in where you fit in.” Worth it though, because once you’re inside, it’s all good vibes and spicy goodness.
If you’re craving authentic, bold flavors with a side of personality, Spicy Girl is a must. Just bring your patience for parking and your appetite for heat. 🌶️”
“I love this place! The food is incredible and the staff is so attentive and friendly. I always get the fajita combo with chicken and beef. Their salsa + meat are honestly phenomenal. I love that they added the new sautéed spinach as a side- super delish. Matt, the GM, is so kind, attentive, and just has the best customer service! The staff looks like they’re having a great time, which makes the environment a lot more inviting. Definitely recommend!”

“Had an amazing night at Jinya! The food and service were on point. My server David gave me a great recommendation and was very prompt and attentive. I will definitely be returning to this location for my ramen cravings”
“I’m not sure that I could recommend this place. The food was good, however I was with my 5yr old daughter and really felt like we were rushed. I understand we can’t possible order up a tab that much but we surely didn’t deserve to feel rushed. We split a salad and the meatballs. The main dish came out literally 2 mins after receiving the salad. I don’t know about this place. Slow it down.”
“A delicious date night. Terrific food and excellent service thanks to Dominic.”
“The best fried chicken in Texas, very friendly in service and attention, good place to enjoy varieties of chicken products. I hope it stays like this for a long time”
“Everything GREAT. I recommend getting the shrimp tempura. It’s my absolute favorite and the Spicy chicken with cabbage , corn and mushrooms 🤤🤤🤤”
“Bludorn was such a great addition to our trip to Houston. The food is exceptional, we had an amazing server and everyone was so friendly. Bludorn is a must eat in Houston!”
“The place is beautiful. I appreciate that they enforce the dress code, which is what I like to see in a restaurant like this. Every staff member was so nice. Our particular servers in the smaller dining area, were great. Very knowledgeable about the menu and offerings. The bartenders deserve recognition as well for the fast and friendly service. I regret that i haven’t tried this restaurant before but i will definitely be back.”
“Had an absolutely amazing experience there for Brunch today! We took our 97 year old Aunt and the staff treated her like a queen! our waiter was so was AWESOME! I had to call the Manager over to brag about him! Food was creative and delicious! I highly recommend!”
“My wife and l come to this kingwood location about once a week, Brandon and Jordan are always great. The food is always great up until about a month or so ago. The Angel hair pasta in alfredo sauce tastes different, kinda soggy, it doesn’t taste the same l don’t know what changed but l wish they would go back to the previous one.”
“Always and awesome experience! Everything from the service to the food quality was on point. We love Doris, for Happy Hour, Drinks at the bar, celebrations and Date night! The Wagyu Ribeye cap steaks was out of this world!!”
“Will forever be one of our favs! Incredible food, and atmosphere.”
“The food is so delicious & so fresh ! My waiter was one of the best , Jose Luis ! He was very attentive & took my order & had ny drink of choice served to me in less than 3 minutes . He made sure my meal was the way I wanted it & thanked me for coming in . Very pleasant”
“First time here and will definitely be back! Service was excellent! Atmosphere is over the top! Had a blast. The general manager Sam, is exactly where he’s suppose to be! He’s awesome, always tending to our needs and so easy to get along with! Food, OMG!!!! It’s delicious! Chicken on cornbread pancake, I highly recommend it!”
“Best place for ramen we drove 5hrs just for some best in Houston!”
“I had an amazing experience! The food was fantastic, with incredible taste and quality. Our waiter, Jacob, made the experience even more special. He was attentive, friendly, and ensured we felt comfortable throughout our meal. His service was truly top-notch, and I’m so grateful to have had someone like him taking care of us. I’ll definitely be back!”
“I usually don't review but this place deserves it. It was my first time eating here and it was amazing. Albert explained how every topping was made and the sauces. Also I have never had a pizza place that could do a pizza half/half with different sauces. Usually it's only toppings but same sauce when doing half/half. Making this my go to pizza place”
“Amazing food. Yes, it’s fast, but it’s still delicious and frankly a bargain for the quality of the food”
“Anvil Bar is one of those places that just gets it right. The second you walk in, the vibe is on point chill, fun, and full of good people. If you're looking to have a great time, be around awesome energy, and sip on some unreal cocktails, this is the spot. Trust me on this one-no notes needed.

The drinks are of the highest level, and the service is seriously top-tier. Massive shoutout to Mabel, Corey, and Manny the man🧍♂️ and the whole team. They’re all super professional, but still keep things relaxed and fun. You feel welcomed, taken care of, and honestly, like part of the place.
There’s this younger, fresh energy that makes you want to stay all night. Whether you're out with friends or just stopping by, Anvil always hits. Keep it up, guys-you're doing something special. Can’t wait to come back.
Best,
Manny the honey 🍯🙏”
“I know how Filipino cuisine should taste being Filipino myself and tried Gerry’s Grill during my visit in Houston to satisfy my craving for Filipino food. The ambiance is very warm and welcoming. The wait staff are very attentive and courteous. The food didn’t fail to disappoint. I describe the food we ordered for dinner as sinfully good. Burp! Thank you, Gerry’s Grill. Until my next visit.”
“Está delicioso recomendado cien por ciento debería de ir toda la gente ❤️”
“I would like to express my gratitude for the recent family gathering orchestrated by James. The reservations were well-managed, and we were fortunate to be attended by an outstanding waitress named Loren. She displayed exceptional professionalism in effectively serving fifteen family members, ensuring that all orders were accurately delivered while maintaining a smooth flow of service. The quality of the food was remarkable, and many family members have continued to praise it, along with the inviting atmosphere and engaging entertainment. Overall, we had a wonderful time reconnecting as a family. Thank you, James and Loren, for your exemplary service and dedication.”

“Awesome food and staff. They are always so kind and helpful. Love the atmosphere and location”
“My husband and I are in Houston for his cancer treatment at MD Anderson. Needless to say, not a trip for fun, but it’s his birthday today, and we wanted to get out of the hotel at the hospital and celebrate just a little. Because he has stage 4 stomach cancer, his dietary needs are limiting, so eating out can be difficult. I can’t say enough good things about this restaurant. This being our first trip to Houston, we know little about the area, and our cab driver helped us decide on Navy Blue. Well, can I just tell you, they were soooooo accommodating of our needs!!! The chef went out of his way to prepare some special items for us, so my husband could eat. Though his portion size is limited, he thoroughly enjoyed his food, as did I. I ordered a small appetizer of baked in butter Prince Edward Island oysters, simply prepared, and oh so delicious. My husband loves oysters, but they haven’t loved him since he’s been sick. He even had one, and enjoyed it. My husband also loved the cheddar biscuits, and seaweed butter, I couldn’t believe he was able to eat the whole biscuit. They have a simply prepared section in their menu, and you can order your seafood pan seared in olive oil with simple seasonings. This was great for his situation, and he had beautiful pink juicy gulf shrimp. I had the Dover sole, and it was perfectly prepared and boned tableside. Gorgeous presentation, and the fish was absolutely delicious. I ordered the sautéed spinach, and he the creamed potatoes. We shared those, and both were delicious. All the staff were well trained in service and they were super attentive. Our server was magnificent. Thank you Navy Blue for showing us a lovely night out, in an otherwise difficult time. We highly recommend your restaurant to anyone in the Houston area looking for fabulous food, fabulous service, and exquisite attention to detail. This place is wonderful!!!”
“A wonderful group of people promoting a cruelty-free world, peace and respect for all beings 🙏🏼🐾💚”
“Without a doubt, we will be back. This was our second time here. Great staff and even better food!”
“After seeing on television that the restaurant won a James Beard award, I put it on my list of places to go. The expectations were pretty high, and our party was not disappointed. The medium spice level was perfect...flavorful with a kick. Drunken Noodles, Krapow Beef, and the Meatball Appetizer were our favorites. This restaurant was an hour drive for us and did not disappoint. It was worth the trip, and we will be back. The only two criticisms would be that their front door is darkened, and from outside, does not look like an actual entrance. And the noise level was a little high, so our server had to repeat herself a few times, but she didn't seem to mind and checked on us regularly to make sure we were enjoying ourselves”
“You have to give this place a try ! Molcajete was delicious and the portions were huge . Pepino aqua Fresca & Mexican Martini did not disappoint. Ask for Roberto and he’ll take good care of you ! We’ll definitely be back .”
“Confessions is so gorgeous! Sasha was amazing server, she recommended everything we ordered from drinks to hookah to the food! I will definitely be back for the happy hour!”
“Had a fantastic time at TINS! Chef Sky was super friendly and made the whole experience feel personal. The food was absolutely delicious. Everything was fresh and full of flavor. I'd definitely come back and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to friends.”
“Huma was awesome! She was so attentive getting us in, to our table on time, and helping us finish our service. Good was great, we went during Houston Restaurant Week and they had broad selection which everyone enjoyed.”
“We were in town for the Metallica & Pantera concert and finally had a chance to try out Truth BBQ. Everything was excellent including the service.”
“Everything was delicious and the staff was so knowledgeable and friendly as well.”
“I have family in this town. Knowing my ancestry I was ask to go dine here. Was my second time in Houston but first time to enjoy it properly. Barcelona was no deception. I am often critical of native food overseas. Portions, atmosphere and even (although not tried this time) occasional great surprises; wine pairing is exceptional and from peers feedback, the cocktails did not disappoint either. B (our server) and the management courteous greetings are commendable. In addition, having a Valet P next door is a plus as this area is probably quite expensive to park otherwise. So yeah. I was impressed and annotate it for future visits.”
“We always have the best time playing at Dan Electro's! The vibe is electric, the staff is super friendly, and the crowd brings amazing energy every time. It’s one of those venues that just feels good to play—great sound, great people, and a true appreciation for live music. We’re always looking forward to our next showcase here!”
“Hands down my favorite Korean bbq place! The staff is friendly and the food was awesome.”
“Chef Paul is an incredibly talented chef. Everything I have had here is delicious!”
“The food was AMAZING.. I got the Salmon with charred Brussel Sprouts and the Basil Coleslaw on the side 10/10. It was so delicious. The biscuits with the sauces 10/10. My significant other and I tried this place for the first time yesterday and we’re ready to go back! 🤤”
“As usual, we had a wonderful experience at Eddie V‘s. Food was excellent service was excellent. We did not feel rushed at all. We're able to enjoy our time together as a family. ”
“I live in Georgia and True food kitchen is my favorite restaurant in Houston. I’ll go every weekend if possible! Food is delicious, I would suggest ordering the ancient grains bowl. Service is great, I always enjoy having Stephanny as my server, she is very kind and helpful. She has the best suggestions ever! 100% recommended!!”
“As a decorator it takes a lot to rate a place but this one through out the process I noticed their service. Their management. Their cleanliness. And most of all the friendliness. 5atars”
“I highly recommend Fielding's River Oaks for group dining and special occasions. The stylish interior immediately stood out to me, with its modern lighting, clean decor, and expansive windows that bring in plenty of natural light. Our group had a large table in a private area, and the space felt comfortable and upscale, perfect for a celebratory get together or even a business dinner. 🍽️ The service was attentive, and the table was set beautifully with everything we needed plates, glasses, cutlery, and napkins all arranged, ready for a relaxed meal with friends or colleagues. The food was excellent pizzas came out hot and perfectly baked, and the burgers looked delicious with generous portions. Drinks flowed throughout the dinner, served in a variety of elegant glasses. One feature I really appreciated was the versatility Fielding’s offers not just indoor dining, but also takeaway and delivery if you prefer to eat elsewhere. Overall, it was a memorable experience thanks to the great atmosphere, quality food, and top 🔝 notch service. I would absolutely go back, whether for a casual lunch or another big event.”
“I had such a wonderful experience here today! As a very early postpartum mom running on little sleep, I accidentally placed my order at the wrong Willie’s location. When I finally made it to the right one and explained my mistake, the Hwy 151 team kindly remade my food so I wouldn’t have to eat something that had been sitting for a while — all without me even asking. This small act of kindness meant so much. I told my baby that day that when you can, offer people as much grace as possible and be kind — because you never know what someone might be going through. Thank you, Willie’s, for not only serving delicious food, but also for showing compassion and humanity. You made my day! 💛”
“Amazing food. I’m not vegan so that’s saying a lot. I had the smokehouse burger and hands-down one of the best burgers I’ve ever eaten. Meat or not. Also, my brother-in-law had the grits flight. So good. I’m having family come in town and my vegan sister will definitely be eating here with us. I’m gonna try dessert this time.”
“Best Sangria ever!! Delicious crisp fresh bread. Courteous, fast service and large menu, with authentic Italian dishes. We will definitely be dining at Carrabas whenever we come to Houston😍”
“Absolutely amazing food! Robert our server was awesome as well!”
“We had an amazing experience at Balboa! Starting with the complimentary valet, which was quick and friendly service. The entry to the restaurant was super nice and a great photo opportunity spot. Kyrah took excellent care of us during our visit, and we loved the team style service. It felt like we had a team serving us, and they are so quick and quiet that you can continue to hold conversations and visit but someone is always near if you need anything. Kyrah took special care to "refresh" our cocktail glasses when we finished about half of our drinks, and made excellent recommendations. The food was absolutely amazing. Our table tried the fried shrimp, oysters, spicy ahi tuna roll, crab cake, Post Oak ribeye with pureed potatoes, salmon with the most delicious and unique salad, and heirloom tomatoes. The cocktails were delicious, including the Gold Rush, Rum Dum, and el Guero. The restaurant vibe is romantic but fun and sophisticated and has an open kitchen concept where you can see the food being made if you care to watch. I will most definitely be back and can confidently recommend this place to anyone!”
“Cece was awesome , best service we had all week at any restaurant we went to. Great food , great personality and beautiful women with an awesome smile”
“Decided to stop in for Sunday brunch and it was wonderful! I had the multigrain protein bowl, champagne…. Simply fresh & delicious! We also had espressos and the flourless chocolate dessert! Another winner! They had live piano music and Lucas provided excellent customer service! Highly recommend!”
“I went during happy hour, they have some really good deals. Lamb chops, Fried mushrooms & Smoked Gouda Macaroni: 10/10❕Collard greens 6/10, Lemon drop 8/10🍋🍸. The food came out within 10 minutes & it was fresh 🤯 The bartenders weren’t as welcoming, they seemed to be annoyed to be there & like they didn’t want to be bothered, even the person beside me said the same. Definitely kind of threw off the vibe but I made the best of it laughing with the patrons beside me. The manager was personable & very friendly. I had an issue and she was right on top of it.”
“An excellent restaurant that provides a great experience, good food, and exceptional customer service.”
“Food was excellent and service was fast & friendly. Thank you for a great family dining experience.”
“Linh was our bartender, she was Awesome. After a long flight home and a day of events this was the spot to end the night and enjoy a few drinks with the team. We had her choose our drinks and she did not disappoint! 10/10 I had a old fashion and it was crafted perfectly!”

“I came here on the spur of the moment and I was about 30 miles away but I'd read about how good the burgers sounded and I decided to check it out, I didn't have anything on my plans that night. The burger was SO good and the people working in the restaurant were super friendly it really changed my opinions on people in Houston and the food! It was the best experience I could have asked for ever!”

“From the time we entered the lobby to the time we left, things could not have been better! We were shown directly to our table, our waiter was waiting with chilled water and warm bread, he gave the best recommendations and we had one of the best meals I've ever eaten. The 3-course Sunday dinner was spectacular with lobster bisque, the signature pork chop, and dessert trio...all perfectly prepared and delicious!!! Our waiter, B was a delight and very attentive. We've already planned on another meal next month, and can't wait! Wonderful meal, excellent service and extremely attentive staff. 12 of 10 rating.”
“Bungalow Downtown Dining provided an incredible dining experience last night, with exceptional food and service. The atmosphere was enhanced by the rooftop lounge overlooking the city, and the complimentary champagne upon entry was a nice touch. Highly recommend!”

“𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐚 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐮𝐦 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐞 - Prepare to elevate your dining experience to new heights at Perry's Steakhouse, where they truly demonstrate Texan's ability to elevate meat. The selection of steak, seafood, and complementary dishes is impressive, but the overall experience goes beyond just the meat. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the meal, from the handcrafted cocktails and extensive wine list to the impeccable presentation of each dish. To top it all off, we had the most incredible waiter, David S, who brought a great mix of professionalism, humor, and comfort to the entire experience. - Michael Glinter has traveled to 68 countries and 36 states to get the flavor of some amazing foods. His view on reviews is simple – Taste, Presentation, and Service. He believes telling the reader a positive and negative unbiased look at the restaurant is essential. - STARTERS: Louisiana Turtle Gumbo – If you're looking for an authentic taste of Louisiana, look no further than the Turtle Gumbo, combining the richness of Louisiana turtle with homemade Cajun-spiced Polish sausage, resulting in a dish that's as bold as it is comforting. This Turtle Gumbo is a testament to the chef's skill in blending traditional flavors with a creative twist. The tender morsels of turtle meat impart a unique depth to the dish, while the homemade Cajun-spiced Polish sausage adds a satisfying kick that lingers on the palate. - Lobster Bisque – my biggest pet peeve with Lobster Bisque is the lobster. Many restaurants feel they can get away with calling it lobster bisque with no real presence of the main ingredient. This dish did NOT disappoint at all. This classic soup was taken to new heights, boasting generous chunks of succulent lobster meat that elevate it to a level of unparalleled comparison to many restaurants. The velvety texture of the soup with he rich, briny flavor of the lobster infuses every mouthful with an exquisite depth. Each spoonful reveals tender morsels of lobster meat, perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor, adding a delightful contrast to the smoothness of the bisque. - MAIN ENTREES Carved Tableside Pork Chop – This was undoubtedly one of the best Pork Chop experiences I have ever had; it was a culinary marvel carved out tableside and can feed 2 people! Picture this: a sizzling hot cast iron plate arrives at your table, with this aroma of sweet and smoky perfection wafts through the air as they carve apart a 4-6" high pork chop into multiple amazing pieces displayed on a hot plate for you to enjoy. This succulent chop embodies the essence of premium quality and meticulous craftsmanship. Cured to perfection, then delicately roasted, slow-smoked, and finally caramelized to achieve a mesmerizing depth of flavor that will leave you speechless. A generous serving of homemade applesauce accompanies it; this dish achieves the perfect balance of sweet and savory, elevating every bite to heavenly heights. My only complaint was that the applesauce was served cold where it should have been served warm. - Symphony Kabob is truly a fascinating tableside experience as well. Prepare to be dazzled by a culinary masterpiece unlike any other as you embark on a gastronomic journey it comes out in a hanging presentation that exudes sophistication and charm, showcasing a perfectly cooked 6 oz. Filet Mignon, two ounces of chargrilled lobster, and three plump chargrilled Gulf shrimp. They remove the food from the hanging bar and prepare the lobster, shrimp, and filet, removing the shells and presenting them eloquently on a hot plate. They are accompanied by 3 sauces: velvety Truffle Merlot Demiglace, with its luxurious depth of flavor, or the bold and peppery Peppercorn Reduction sauce, and a homemade bearnaise. I will say the Truffle Merlot Demiglace was amazing. Surprisingly, their signature homemade bearnaise was a flop. I told the waiter, and he went to the back to try it. He told the chef that it wasn't prepared properly; it was missing an ingredient. But overall, the food”
“We arrived with no reservation as a party of 9 on a Saturday so we expected a long wait. We were told at least an hour. No problem. 25 minutes later a hostess offered us 2 adjoining tables. Perfect! The moment we sat down upstairs our waitress took drink orders and I swear they magically appeared less than ten minutes later and were as beautiful as they were potent! We ordered appetizers that were as filling as entrees! Our food came out fresh and piping hot! The mac and cheese was chef's kiss! We were so full that we didn't even eat DINNER later that night! LOL! Definitely a 10/10!”

“This was our first visit, so my review is based on very limited experience. The bread service at the beginning is a fantastic selection including two each of hot seeded rolls right out of the oven, slices of sourdough, and a few of the best sesame seeded breadsticks in town. The endive salad was large and exceptionally good. The pastas are all made in house. My wife's veal parmesan was well made, comparable to the best versions in town. I had the King crab with squid ink spaghetti, Nduja, cherry tomatoes, and corn. It was good, but there was a bit too much going on in this dish. Nduja is great on a pizza, but over-powered the King crab. The squid-ink pasta was hidden by the tomato/nduja sauce. There was one medium size piece of King crab. If they want to feature the crab and black pasta then I think they would do better with a less complex and aggressive combination of elements: perhaps, a light sauce of garlic, olive oil, and parsley with a touch of saffron cream. The wine list included a good selection of wines from California, France, Italy, and Spain. We had a nice Priorat which is not that common to find on Houston wine lists. It was excellent at a reasonable price. Our waitress, Kimberly, was exceptionally good. She knows her menu very well and struck the right balance between attention and leaving us alone. She gave us a complimentary slice of olive oil cake, which I had heard about but never had before. It is a light and pleasant way to end a meal. Thank you Kimberly. Overall, it is a nice, quiet, somewhat dark, restaurant with a good wine list at reasonable prices. I like any place that makes fresh pasta. Next time I will try a more traditional or subdued dish like the Bolognese or gnocchi, or perhaps Branzino.”
“Doctor appointments in Houston mean trying new places! We've been looking forward to trying Pok Pok Po for a few weeks since we saw Shawn the Food Sheep's video review. It did not disappoint! This is the best chicken ever! Look at the seasoning on those fries! My chicken sandwich had an amazing sauce and kimchi on it. Caleb had the chicken nugget basmati rice bowl with kimchi. The side sauces are to die for, and perfectly complemented all we had. PLOT TWIST-- there are two concepts kitchens in one store front!! Pok pok Po shares a space and is the same company/chef as Bōl--a Chipoltle-style Indian food concept. We were able to try a wide sample of their fares including the rice, lamb, cauliflower, potatoes, paneer, pickled onions, avocados, and cucumber salad, airy potatoes crisps, mango Lassi, and samosa. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. Staff, manager, and chef take pride in their establishment and value the experience of the customer. Everything there is gluten free (except the burger bun--but make it a wrap or a salad!) And halal, and the chicken is anibiotic free. Everything was spotless, bathrooms were nice and big.Free parking!”
“The restaurant is beautiful and has a great atmosphere. The food is top-notch. You can clearly notice that a lot of thought went into the menu and the design of the structure, as well as the dishware, which makes for a great vibe. It's one of the best spots in the Houston area one must visit for either a date night in the evening or just a business meeting in the early afternoon. Highly recommended; the food quality, vibe, and service are definitely top-notch, which is exactly what you will be looking for when going out to a restaurant of this level.
I was recommended by friends and decided to give it a try. Boy, I'm glad for listening and devoted time for such a great experience. Finally, I think words will just do a disservice for describing the experience; you just have to go there and experience it yourself. Thank me later.”
“It was our first time visiting this restaurant. I usually don't like to try new restaurants in Houston for fear of disappointment. Suprisingly, we had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! The staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. We opted for the Restaurant Week menu, and it was absolutely delicious—each dish was thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. The ambiance of the restaurant is beautiful and peaceful, creating the perfect setting for a relaxing meal. We can’t wait to return and explore more of the menu options. A big thank you to the team for such a memorable dining experience!”
“Simple put Food was Damn Good.”
“I ate here last night with my mom and daughter. We had a great experience! Everyone came by and made sure we were doing ok, refilled drinks, removed empty dishes, even offering more banchan when they saw it we had eaten ours. The food was all really good. We ordered a la carte: chicken bulgogi, spicy pork bulgogi, and beef bulgogi, and when we were finished, someone even packed our leftovers for us and brought me some more kimchi to go. The meat came with banchan, salad, rice and a soup. We also tried the seafood pancake, fried dumplings, and japchae. Very happy with all of it! I look forward to coming back and trying the ayce bbq.”
“Agnes and Sherman delivered exactly what I hoped for an Asian diner fusion experience that exceeded my expectations. Our waiter was warm, inviting, and full of positive energy, which made the meal even more enjoyable. We loved everything we tried: the rangoon, scallion waffle, crawfish egg foo young, fried chicken, steak and frites, and shrimp—all packed with flavor. Though we were too stuffed for dessert, our server surprised my two friends with complimentary birthday ice cream, which made the evening even more special. I highly recommend Agnes and Sherman and can’t wait to come back to try more dishes!”
“Food was fantastic! We had a bunch of stuff but my favorite was probably the spicy scallop hand roll. The gyoza were flavorful and perfectly cooked, the Japanese pancake was awesome and the pork belly and steak skewers were on point! Fun atmosphere and the staff were really nice and attentive. I’ll be back soon to try more of that menu.”
“The BEST ceviche I’ve ever had!”
