Good quality sushi. Similar in pricing to Uchiko/Uchi. Make sure to try the king crab nigiri and the trumpet mushroom nigiri!

This is an amazing sushi place that starts with great sushi. Next the service is worth the visit. Lastly the decor is sharp and minimalist. The music is enough to enjoy without having to talk loudly.It's been a challenge to find the balance, but they are getting it right

One of the best Sushi restaurants I have been to in my life, and I have been to a lot of places. Sake is smooth and with a lot of variety. Food is A+

Probably my favorite sushi joint in Houston. They have a great happy hour, omakase, and a la cart options. The entire staff (Michael, Joe, Steve, etc) are all friendly and will take care of you. Highly recommend!

Everything about this place was extremely impressive — staff, cocktails, quality fish, ambiance, overall experience — and I will definitely return if/when back in Houston. We sat at the bar and had a great time. The staff was welcoming and professional. Highly recommend their tasting menu — best overall value I've ever had for a sushi restaurant.
My sushi world has been rocked. This was the most amazing food I have had in a very long time, I cannot stop thinking about it. I also don't know how I will ever have regular sushi again! The dressed nigiri was to die for. Incredible.
We chose it because it was near where we were at dinner time and because it received good ratings. It didn't disappoint. The food and drinks were delicious. We would definitely go back!! Very cool place and unique menu items.

Aiko is a terrific sushi restaurant. The quality of the fish and the service were both exceptional. The only minor knock on the experience was that the volume of the music was a bit too loud. Yes, it had to compete with conversations across the dining room, but I think the volume of all the diners' conversations were elevated in response to the music. It wasn't so distracting that it really affected the meal. However, it was noticeable; particularly as we arrived. Despite the noise, I'll still return and I highly recommend the restaurant.
Great omakase at a great price point! Came for dinner on a Tuesday night and sat at the bar. Jesus is super friendly and creates great dishes! Throughout the dinner, we got to meet most of the other staff, who were all very sweet and funny! Couldn’t have asked for a better time and better food! I’m so happy to hear they have such a long happy hours I will definitely be back!

They did it again. The chefs of Kokoro and Handies Duzo have made another hit. Walking in, hosts were extremely nice and welcoming. The vibe was dark and sexy, with some trendy music playing. Immediately, I noticed the bar up front with a huge selection of Japanese whiskey and sake. Walking to the back to our table, we were escorted through a curtain that gave the dining area a private speak easy type of feel. Sushi chefs, waiters, and bussers were all very welcoming. The menu was a little overwhelming because of the number of items. I wanted them all to be honest and was scared to miss out on anything by making a blind selection. I considered doing the chefs tasting menu (which was very inexpensive for the amount of food), but I decided to leave my experience in the hands of our waitress. Our waitress Sam was an absolute delight and navigated us through an unforgettable experience. Absolutely every dish from the starters to the kitchen items to the sushi were melt in your mouth savory....on to the pics

So….this is probably one of the best spots I’ve been to in a LONG time. Amazing food. Like insanely good. Service was fast and efficient. Favorites are the mushroom, tuna crudo and the scallops. And I had a super refreshing Junmai to pair.
