First time we went- my son loved the Ramen. I wasn't happy w the poke Bowl i got but the staff was nice and they helped me choose something else. Personal preference I guess- Wasabi isn't my thing and the dish I got had honey Wasabi on it that I didn't notice.But the appetizers were amazing and the place itself is soo nice

Great hole in the wall restaurant! After traveling Japan, this has been the closest vibe to the Omoide Yokocho experience we have found in Houston. The yakitori is phenomenal and the atmosphere rocks.
Nice atmosphere and delicious food! Very good costumer service!

Came in at 7PM and the place was full and there was a waitlist. There were also only 2 wait staffs so we had to wait a little longer to get seated. Luckily the service was fast, we were able to order food quickly.We had really high expectation as we saw so many customers and we even waited for 20mins.However, the food was disappointing. They were all cold when served.Chicken katsu - It was good but it was just a very thin piece of meat.Ramen - Ordinary taste. Worst part is the soup was not hot. I couldn’t finish the noodle because the dish became too cold to enjoy)Curry - The sauce had potential but same complaint here it was not hot. We didn’t understand the tomatoes. Could have provided more potatoes and carrots.Beef Yakitori - It was cold. Just OK.Tsukune (Chicken Meatball) - This was good. It was the only hot dish we get to eat.Japanese scallops (3) - They were cold!!We were not sure whether the food was not cooked long enough or that the blasting AC just ruined all the food here. But can’t help feeling disappointed.

From price to service to food !! 5 stars !!!Check out my review on tik tok ( z.ylahdeneese )
The food is so good! We always get a variety of the small plates, and I don't think you can order anything wrong. The staff is friendly. Since it's a small place, be prepared to wait a little on a weekend evening but the food is worth it

Best Black Garlic Ramen and Spicy Chicken Katsu Curry I ever had. If you're into spicy food, tell the server to make the Katsu Curry Extra Spicy. My kids love this restaurant near my work place. The ambiance is nice and you just have to wear a sweater because it's always called inside. I highly recommend this place.
The yakitori is amazing! Try a little bit of all of it! The chicken skin, pork belly, and squid were all worth getting multiple of!Service was a little slow for how empty the place was and our server kinda seemed inattentive and like she wanted us to leave already.Definitely coming back to try the A5 Japanese Wagyu and the whole grilled squid as well as the chicken katsu!

If you've been to an izakaya in Japan, I'd say the vibes and the food here are similar. Unfortunately, parking is a bit of a hassle here because a lot of the spaces are reserved. Service here is great and efficient. We came an hour before they closed and didn't feel rushed at all. Their menu has the classic izakaya dishes (basically bar bites) but also has other hearty Japanese dishes like ramen, poke, donburi, etc.My friend and I ordered small plates to share. The ikageso karaage is not like your typical calamari. You get big servings and long tentacle pieces. I also ordered the pork katsu don. The sauce poured over it was flavorful and the eggs were cooked just how I like them. Don't let the small bowl fool you. It was packed with meat and rice that I still had enough leftovers for a meal the next day. The okonomiyaki came out last so I was already getting pretty full so I can't really give a fair review of it after only having one bite. It's a relatively small portion compared to others I've had but it's still shareable. Recommend checking this place out!

Located on a strip mall opposite Costco, parking isn’t difficult, and there are 2 spaces specific for Yokushi Robata customers. The restaurant has beautiful but simple decor. Staff were friendly and courteous. I was greeted upon stepping into the restaurant.I ordered okonomiyaki, and Ikageso karaage as appetizers, salmon sashimi, beef with wasabi and yuzu sauce skewer, pork katsu curry, and chicken katsu ramen. Both appetizers were delicious. The pork top of the okonomiyaki was crispy and seasoned right. The cabbage gave the crunch. The mayo brought the dish together. The Ikageso Karaage was fried perfectly, not oily at all, and the spicy mayo sauce was yummy! Salmon sashimi was fresh and the slices weren’t too thin. The beef with wasabi and yuzu sauce skewer was surprisingly good. The wasabi added the “heat” while the yuzu sauce balanced the flavors of the beef and the wasabi. Highly recommend this dish! The pork katsu curry, and chicken katsu ramen were good. The pork and chicken were nicely fried. They were crispy and light. The curry had the standard Japanese curry taste. The ramen broth was light but could be more flavorful.I would come here right when the doors are open because the restaurant fills up pretty fast. This is a good restaurant for a simple meal.
