Very small, intimate space, mood lighting. Interesting menu. We liked our choices. The wait staff very attentive in an understated way.

Got disappointed at the incredibly higher prices on the proteins and the mandatory 22% gratuity. The food is good, but there are many other places in Houston equally good or better where you can dine at half of the price.

Get the chicken clay bowl to share it is delicious and generously sized.

Honestly it was good but not fantastic, especially considering the price of everything. The sashimi and rice were delicious, but the rest of the food was just ok. Would recommend trying it out as a date night if you haven't been before

Food was disappointing. Service could have been better. There are many other Houston restaurants which are better dining experiences.

I was so looking forward to dining at T Rex after making the reservation several weeks ago. The atmosphere was great, although ambient lighting is so dim that the waiter brings everyone a small light so that we can see the menu/check. A little annoying but okay. The food just wasn’t that great - ratatouille was so salty that one of my friends wouldn’t finish her first one. Tuna was the best dish we had - nice sauce and fresh fish. The red snapper was cooked nicely but bland. The beef was tough. Everything must have been salty because I was so thirsty after the dinner. The green tea was barely warm. When I asked for a refill, the waiter looked annoyed and said something about having to boil water!? 15 minutes later, we got the refill, which was at least at the right temperature. So disappointed about the food and the entire experience, especially given the price.

Quaint place with amazing service. Everyone is highly knowledgeable on the food and drink selections. The food is OUTSTANDING! Unbelievably delicious. We had the broth that was perfectly seasoned. Our main course was the Wagyu Ribeye, which was incredible. Potatoes and a salad to round out the meal. The potatoes were so soft and melted in your mouth. The dressing was light and crisp with an abundance of flavor.
Prices were in line with most steakhouse, and we'll worth it.
The staff was so friendly.
Highly recommend

Excellent service and a warm atmosphere. Highly recommend!
Skip this place. Overpriced, pretentious, mediocre food, cramped atmosphere, and parking is a pain. What we ordered:
“Ratatouille” - unappetizing appearance (looked like 5 eyeballs TBH), very one note flavor, salty eggplant, completely missed the zest or acidity of ratatouille, desperately needed vinegar or tomato or the like.
“fried white shrimp” - the shrimp were overcooked, but worse was biting in and pulling out a wet green leaf. The dipping sauce was fish flavored mayonnaise that would’ve been 10 times better with some lemon or hot sauce or vinegar. Instead, you just get creamy and salty from this dish.
“stuffed squash” - you get half of a tiny squash, I’m talking five bites and you’re done. Except you’re not full at all because it was literally just squash, spinach, and a few random beans.
We also got the “lettuces with vinaigrette” and this entire meal that left us hungry after it was over $100. We literally had to get tacos after.
Fail.

Where to start! This is one of the best dining experiences in Houston. T-Rex is a little hole in the wall in the warehouse district offering incredible bites and a unique atmosphere overlooking the Houston Skyline.
The food absolutely blew my mind, and our waiter was incredible. He made sure we were taken care of the whole night and suggested several bottles for us to try through out our meal.
This restaurant feels cozy and relaxed without sacrificing their high end dining experience. You won't need a suite tie, instead bring you appetite and an open mind!
