“Atmosphere was quite and cozy seated quickly to a nice big booth food came out fresh/hot (20mins no complaints there) generous portions size service was very polite and knowledgeable of the menu and new specials entrees . Overall had a nice experience.Vegetarian options: Sushi, fish, soups and rice options to choose fromParking: In Kroger shopping center lot of available spots“
“Food was fantastic. The sushi rolls were very delicious. The Mackerel Sushi was marinated just right and was buttery and perfect.The service was also top notch. Our party was large (9 people), and they managed to keep up with all of our orders throughout the meal. Our drinks were always full.The server was patient with questions and answers and special requests for items ordered.To me it seemed we were chaotic with our orders, but the server kept everything under control and the orders came to the right people in a good amount of time.Hats off to the staff and compliments to the Sushi Chef.The only complaint was the smell. It was a little fishy in my opinion. I know, it’s a fish restaurant, but it was a little overpowering when we first walked in, and not appetizing. But once we started to eat, we forgot about it and had a great meal.Parking: Limited spots in a small portion of strip center. Be prepared to park a little away and walk. Not too bad.“
“Everything was good when it came down to the food but we didn't like the fact that the person the takes the plates was table watching it seemed as if every five minutes she would walk by looking over the table and as soon as we put a plate aside she was ready to grab it and when we went for a second plate she was grabbing plates we was not done with yet it was very uncomfortable having a dish hawk hover over us as we ate but beyond that everything else was amazing I don't like feeling as if I'm being rushed off to eat then leave overall the food was super freshParking: Handicapped parking was upfront close to the door so we was happy about thatWheelchair accessibility: There was access for a wheelchair but we didn't need it“
“The evening duo they got with the manager J and the server Jerry was phenomenal!!!!First the server was super Friendly and second the manager was very knowledgeable.... Like ,Wow ?? That curry chicken shrimp was delish, thank you Jerry for that suggestion. That crab puff pairing was really the best add on from the manger“
“If I could give more stars I absolutely would. This place is located in a strip mall looking area but inside is amazing. Beautiful ambiance and seriously fantastic service at totally affordable prices. Wine was a little pricey though. The food was excellent. I highly recommend the vegan soba salad and mango sorbet. We also tried the mango shaved ice which was phenomenal.Vegetarian options: Not as many options as I would have expected.Dietary restrictions: Not many dairy free options.Parking: Parking lot that severes the strip is very accessible. We had no trouble finding a spot right in front.“
“When we arrived we were promptly greeted and seated. It did take our server to get to us a good 10 minutes before talking and telling us what the concept and food recommendations were. The setting of the restaurant is clean, and airy due to the sun room setting on one side of the restaurant. To start us off, we did some drinks that were good but did not find any favourites. The two cold starters were: Hamachi Yuzu: 2/5 because the yuzu yoghurt was overpowering and the kombu powder left a sandy grit texture on the teeth that made it almost annoying to eat. Could barely taste the hamachi. Madai Carpaccio: 1/5 because the crunchy togarashi and black sesame soy sauce enveloped the Madai and the saucy component was too strong to complement the fish. Oyster with caviar was fresh and briny. Very tasty. 5/5. Would recommend avoiding the cold starters besides the oysters and moving straight to the nigiri and hot components of the menu. From the nigiri portion, we ordered: Hotate, salmon, gizzard shad, akami, amaebi and madai. Fresh, fatty, flavoursome cuts of delicious fish. Definitely recommend, 5/5. Also, tried the Olive A5 wagyu nigiri with black truffle and it was unctuous and absolute yum! From their hot portion, we got the baby back ribs, iberico shumai, and lobster with sake miso. The baby back ribs were falling off the bone, tender and seasoned to perfection. The shumai was good with a pipette of ponzu sauce. The lobster was rich, not overcooked and the panko with the miso sake lent it a Mac and cheese-esque quality to it. Would definitely get these again. For dessert go the Japanese melon which was sweet and juicy and had none of the chemical aftertaste that is found in the fruits here in the states. The green tea kakigori was airy and light. Usually not a fan of red bean ice cream or desserts but this one came with a really nice red bean ice cream. Would have liked the portion to be more to balance out the shaved ice. Overall it was a great time! Price wise it was affordable for the amount of food we ordered.“
“This was a lot of fun! The experience from start to finish was delightful, imaginative and intimate. The food was on point and very elevated as expected at this price point. The service was fantastic, as the setup allows for the chef to have plenty of interaction with the guests and Chef Marcos was very engaging and enthusiastic about explaining the different techniques, fish and his own sushi history with us as we dined. My wife and I are no novices to sushi, omakase or tasting menus in general and this experience was both unique and memorable. I should note the restaurant is BYOB, they did share a sake shot welcome cheers for everyone and the passion fruit mocktail was excellent.“
“We were lucky enough to get the last service by Chef Jonathan. We had his Kobe fair well tour!And he made our experience amazing! We had recently had their parent restaurant Hidden Omakase and we enjoyed it but was recommended to try this joint for a lower price point and shorter meal.So for dinner they do 45 mins and they start on time so make sure you come a little early and take some pictures in the nft gallery out front. If you park it’s to the left of the Italian restaurant and has no signage.Once seated they get started right on the dot. But even though it’s a short service Jonathan explained what we were getting in great detail. We got better interaction here with the crew than at Hidden Omakase. It’s a younger group and more fun and lively.The Engawa was the best thing I have ever eaten at any sushi restaurant. This thing is life changing. And you’re able to get an extra piece as an a la carte add on. Do it!!! You will not regret it.My wife and I were so impressed, we will definitely be back and at this price point we can come more often.Best of luck on your next Journey chef Jonathan your skills will truly be missed here.“
“We went to Roka to celebrate a new job! It's one of the date night/special occasion spots in our rotation. The ambiance and decor is nice, service is great, but the food really steals the show. Top tier! Everything I've had is phenomenal!! The crispy fried squid, Robata grilled octopus, and sweet corn you MUST try. All AMAZING. The cheesecake desert is insane, completely delicious. To be honest though everything we have had there is good. The prime ribeye, the sushi rolls, the pork belly, the wagyu beef dumplings, and the yuzu miso black cod, yellowtail are all amazing and in rotation. Also If you enjoy a cocktail they have this Margarito with Tajin that is solid! I'm picky so not easy to please. Roka is top tier.“
“I absolutely love this place. I have tried so many sushi spots all over Houston throughout my life and this place is definitely my favorite. If you are looking for an intimate setting with a homey feel this is the place for you. When I come here I feel like family. Johnny the owner is so funny and welcoming. He runs the restaurant with his son and daughter who are also so humble and sweet. The quality of the food is fanominal and decently priced. I highly recommend the calamari and the fish is a perfect temp and so fresh so definitely go for the nigiri or sashimi if you are a raw fish fan. 10 out of 10. I will be coming back soon ???“
“Went on a Wednesday for all day Happy Hour with some friends. Had beer, wine and the omakase - this is an excellent spot, the service was impeccable even at the bar.Drinks were kept flowing, the sushi and the oysters on the omakase were to DIE for. I live in the area so super nice to have a great sushi place nearby.Highly recommend taking advantage of the HH here. Can’t wait to come back!“
“I came here for dinner one night with a friend and what a hit this place was! Casual, yet trendy atmosphere. Seating was prompt and service was attentive and friendly. The food was amazing and the quality was top tier. The aburi on fire roll and yasai kinoko tofu was absolutely DELICIOUS! Parking was super easy and this place is a solid 5 star. If you want fresh quality food, this is the place to be! I'll definitely be back with friends and family for dinner!“
“The food here is absolutely delightful and flavorful. The ambiance is incredible, perfect for a date. The service is punctual and the staff takes pride in describing the meal. Every aspect of the dining experience is described with precision. The kitchen is constantly working on masterpiece after masterpiece. Overall, the experience is delightful and the desserts are killer. Not one staff seemed out of place and constantly kept the momentum of the restaurant moving.“
“Manny was our server for a surprise bday party of 12 guest! He was able to provide great service and very attentive to our needs especially with such a large group! Many of our friends were new to SOPO and they all loved it as much as we did! Will come back again soon!“
“Ten Sushi Cocktails in Houston delivers a top-notch dining experience, made even better by the exceptional service of waitress Stephanie. Her expertise in describing the menu and recommending top-selling sushi and entrees added a delightful touch to our evening, ensuring we enjoyed every bite. Stephanie's attentiveness and knowledge made our visit truly memorable. Highly recommend Ten for both the food and the service!“
“Love how Neo pays attention to the smallest details to ensure a fine dining experience. The staff were attentive and respectful, Chef was knowledgeable and talented, and food was incredible. We went on 3/4/24 for the Sushi Omakase and our favorites were Masu, Madai Crudo, Maitake, and the Maguro Handroll. Highly recommend!“
“My coworker raved about Suki Sushi last month after trying it for the first time. When she told me that she'd be going there regularly since she lived in the area, I knew I would have to try it. At this point, I've gone to Suki Sushi three times already -- once to dine-in, and twice for takeout. I was never disappointed, and I would still visit if I'm ever in the area again! ** Food: 8/10 ** On my first visit, I tried a bento box (with teriyaki beef, California roll, and tempura), red snapper nigiri, and a spicy scallop hand roll. My favorite thing about the bento is that I can customize what 3 entrees I want in it, so I don't have to worry about ending up with something I don't want. * Teriyaki beef (10/10): This was amazing! I could taste that there was a slight char to the beef for an extra kick of flavor, which most other Japanese restaurants do not do with their teriyaki. I could eat this everyday, honestly. * California roll (??/10): I personally don't like this kind of roll, so I didn't eat any of it. My boyfriend ate all if of though, and he didn't have any criticisms. * Tempura (9/10): I love that the batter used for tempura here is not as heavy. It tastes lighter and a more airy, so to speak. I don't feel as bad after eating several pieces. * Red snapper nigiri (5/10): The fish was a bit bland for some reason. There was neither freshness nor brinyness to it, and I have no idea how this could be. * Spicy scallop hand roll (10/10): If you like spicy, this is definitely something to try! The hand roll is a good size, and there's plenty of scallop so that you don't feel skimped out on the price. For my second visit, I ordered a bento box as takeout. This time, I had to get the teriyaki beef again. It was just so good! Other items I got were: * Sashimi (7/10): The cuts weren't that big, and I felt neutral about the taste of each fish piece. I was neither impressed nor disappointed. * Chicken katsu (9/10): The chicken cutlet was huge! The texture was near perfection -- crispy and not dry inside. My only issue with the katsu was that too much sauce was drizzled on top of it. I would have preferred the sauce to be packaged separately for takeout, both to maintain the crispiness better and to also allow me some control on how much sauce I want on the cutlet. For my third visit, I didn't try any new items and just created another bento box with a mix of previous items that I liked~ ** Service: 10/10 ** The owner is very nice, efficient with sushi rolls, and full of smiles and warmth. I can tell he cares a lot about his business and whether or not his customers are having a good time eating the food there. The other worker I saw was a lady who waited and handled takeout orders. She was an absolute delight, and she also offered her own recommendations on what was good. ** Ambiance: 10/10 ** The restaurant isn't too big, but the atmosphere is very cozy and comforting. You can sit comfortably and not have to worry about too much excessive noise, and the decor is easy on the eyes. I found the utensil box on the tables very cute and a nice touch too! There's a fork, spoon, and pair of chopsticks inside -- although I wonder why they have chopsticks in there while also providing chopsticks outside of it?“
“The food was very good. Nice slices of fish to rice ratio on the nigiri. The rolls were also very fresh and not much rice either which is nice. The tempura vegetables were great, fresh and fried to perfection. I was impressed with the service too. Andrea was our waitress and she was very attentive. The food came out quickly event though there were busy, we got there at 1pm on a Monday after Easter. Keep in mind Fort Bend schools were out, this definitely contributed to the crowd. The restaurant was clean and nice as normal. We will be going back.“
“I use to visit this restaurant before covid. Back in the area I was surprised to see it still operating...thankful as this place is awesome great food and quick service if you get there early. Local like most places in this area serves excellent sushi. “

“The best place in Houston for fresh sushi and good service and price.... specially Markus was great, every time we go there for dinner or happy hours. Thank you Marcuse.Parking: a lot of parking spaceKid-friendliness: yes They have kids menue“
“The service is great here. As a lifelong vegetarian it's usually difficult to find places that are fully vegetarian. Many of the meals at this place have fake meats which I do not eat as I've never eaten meat. They were able to cater to my needs by not using any of these. The pad thai and Kung pao tofu were really good. Will go again. Highly recommend to vegetarian diets.“
“This is my second time here and it was even better than the first time. The service is shockingly fast and very friendly. The quality and quantity of the rolls and sashimi could very well be the best in town. And wow the prices are so affordable, this place is unbeatable! Well maybe the ambiance isn’t bougie enough for fancy folks but if you actually want the best sushi in town give Matsu a shot.“
“I come here at least once a week for lunch and I highly recommend Pokeworks. In addition to having a great menu and quality food, the costumer service here is always exceptional!!! Shout out to Courtney and his staff for taking care of me and always making me feel valued! Thank you Courtney for never letting me forget my chili crisp, it’s what makes me come back every week.“
“We really enjoyed the food at Aya. The sushi dishes are unique enough to distinguish itself from our regular sushi haunts. From the crudo dishes, the tempura, the nigiri, and even the dessert were all very enjoyable. We'll definitely be coming back.What we really enjoyed:Salmon tatami (crudo)Amberjack nigiriKing mushroom401 makiMomo MakiCauliflower tempuraMiso apple pie with ice cream to finish it off!“
“I'm a vegetarian and even I enjoyed the all you can eat experience. They have a couple veggie rolls but also have vegetarian fried rice, miso soup, tempura, and a couple different tofu dishes to select from. Service was excellent and food was delicious for AYCE“
“I had the pleasure of dining at PokeWorks recently and was truly impressed by the outstanding service provided by Terra. From the moment I walked in, Terra greeted me with a warm smile and genuine enthusiasm. She went above and beyond to ensure that my dining experience was nothing short of excellent.Terra's attentiveness and knowledge of the menu were remarkable. She patiently guided me through the different options and helped me customize my poke bowl to perfection. Not only did she exhibit professionalism, but her friendly demeanor also made me feel welcomed and valued as a customer.“
“We ate in restaurant and ordered to go while in Houston. In restaurant great experience sushi very fresh with great options. To go took a little to long. I waited in lobby for 20 minutes for my to go even though I had ordered 30 minutes before. Parking is good. While food was exceptional the to go orders need to get it together. Good happy hour.“
“We have been coming here for a few months and it has never disappointed! We have several food allergies and the chefs are very accommodating. Amazing wait staff and the food is absolutely delicious! Highly recommend this gem in the neighborhood.“
“Came here a while back with a friend, and we had a great time! The food was super tasty, and the service was very friendly. The food was also very reasonably priced! We ordered the rainbow and rock n' roll sushi rolls and the spam musubi. I'd definitely come back!“
“i really like this place. great food, lunch deals, and friendly service. easy parking. not too loud. ive been coming here more than 20+ times and most of the time it's been pleasant.during lunch hours, there are a lot of servers and even tho it's busy, i can easily flag down one of them and they are all attentive. so i have no issues and the experience always had been positive. they check on me and make sure everything is good and all that.sadly im evening time, it's not the same. i've came a few times for dinner and the male host is kinda rude. and with them being short staffed, the service is slow. and they get my order wrong at times. it's quite frustrating.i come alone all the time and i might be younger than all the crowd they have, i feel like the respect should be there. at the end of the day im also a paying customer here so they should treat me the same way they do with older people here.food ive gotten here so far:- general tso- wonton soup- egg roll- shrimp spring roll- sweet potato tempura- sorbet- california roll- caterpillar roll- salmon sashimi- yellowtail sashimi- tunaall of them are very delicious!“
“Excellent food and prices. Their business model is really only bottlenecked by how slow their waiters are. It takes forever to turn over the tables and get people off the waitlist if it takes 10 mins to get someone’s check. If they switched to counter serve they’d probably make even more money“
“Izakaya Wa is one of my top 3 favourite restaurants. All the food is so delicious and has a seasoned taste. I definitely recommend the torimune fried skewers, one order comes with 2 generously sized skewers, they were so good I had to get 3 orders! I also recommend the sushi dinner, all the fish is so fresh and the salmon has so much fat and the bluefin tuna was amazing also. You should definitely come here. I don’t live in Houston and whenever we come here for a couple days, we always come to Izakaya Wa.“
“Iwa Ya on Bellaire Blvd hit the spot for lunch today! The atmosphere was inviting, and the service was quick and friendly. We dove into their delicious spider roll, savoring the fresh ingredients and perfect texture. The katsudon was another winner, with its crispy pork cutlet and flavorful sauce. Even the miso and corn chowder soup impressed, offering a warm and comforting start to the meal. And to top it off, the prices were reasonable! Highly recommend Iwa Ya for a satisfying and enjoyable lunch experience.“
“Our favorite sushi place in Meyerland! We go here so often that the staff know what we’re gonna order lol. Nemo roll is amazing. We also usually share a sushi/sashimi bento box substituting extra tempura instead of rice. The cocktails we’ve had are really good, especially the lychee. Also the tiger eye roll, New Orleans roll, and jalapeño roll.“
“I've come to eat here multiple times with my family. We love the bento boxes, the sushi, and the warm sake. The spicy crawfish, the Houston, the Black Pearl, and the Eel Roll were delicious when we went today. You can never order the wrong thing. I'd go all the time if it wasn't a bit expensive. Definitely a place for special occasions, tho!!!“
“General Description:A traditional Japanese restaurant. They have booths and a sushi bar.The space is on the smaller side.The good:- Tonkatsu Ramen: Broth was a bit different than most Japanese style ramen. I don't like fatty/heavy broth base. This one was on the lighter side.- Yellowtail sashimi was on the fresher side.The bad:- Chicken was rubbery.- Broccoli was overcooked.- Wasabi mix was watered down.Overall:Worth trying.“
“Really want to give this a 1 star so the preppy wealth people don't ruin this gem, but God daa-mmn (two syllables) this place is effing fantastic. Please don't go and make this place popular and ruin it for me. Stay away! I love this place and don't want to have to wait for a table in the future.STAY... AWAY...Please, I need all the sushi and miso for me.DON'T GO.(sorry Hokkaido for the mixed review, you are SO GOOD and I am SO SELFISH)To my priest, John Patrick, "forgive me Father, for I have sinned. I used the Lord's name in vain, cursed, and told lies on the Internet... But, in a small defense, Jesus Christ himself never had sushi and miso soup like what is happening in this place."To my mother: "this post is completely out of character." And, "Yes ma'am."To the people who work at Hokkaido, ::applause:: "you effing geniuses! You did it!"To Google, "can we add a golden sixth star that can be used once per account? Please? They earned it."“
“The sushi is really good here, and like the name says they play a variety of music but most is classic Rock n Roll. This is the second time my wife and I were here and we were extremely pleased they have a place is Stafford that offers sushi. I like spicy sushi and what I got was absolutely delicious. This place ROCKS! The service, the food, and the environment gets my thumbs up!!“
“After spending hours in NRG watching rodeo, we were so hungry and found a nearby restaurant named Taro. It was really great to have meal there, including sushi and drink. We enjoyed the ramen and all you can eat. The old guy waiter was very nice and humorous. I liked him. Very good service.“
“I recently dined at Sasaki Japanese Restaurant in Houston, Texas, and it was an absolute delight! The food was exceptional, Here are some highlights:*Flavorful Sushi and Sashimi: The sushi and sashimi were incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and had authentic Japanese flavors.*Intimate Atmosphere: Sasaki is a cozy little gem tucked away on Westheimer Road. The intimate ambiance adds to the overall experience. It’s perfect for a quiet dinner or a special occasion.*Attentive Service: The staff at Sasaki went above and beyond to make our dining experience memorable. From recommendations to timely service, they truly cared about our satisfaction.I wholeheartedly recommend Sasaki. It’s a hidden gem that deserves more recognition.“
“Local sushi hole-in-the-wall type restaurant. The menu is really good, but we usually make up our own rolls and they accommodate it well. We enjoy our meals at Yoshi's.Vegetarian options: Plenty of opportunities to avoid the animal products if you are vegan or plant-based. Miso soup, vegetable rolls, ramen, appetizers, etc.Dietary restrictions: We ask for some basic veggie rolls most of the time and the results are good.Parking: Either in front of their shop or in the whole foods parking lot, no big deal.“
“Before going to the Houston rodeo, I stopped by to park my car and get something to eat. My friend found out that this restaurant opens at 11:00am. But the shop owner welcomed us from 10:30am. The food tastes good. The shrimp tempura in particular came out really well. The food is served quickly and continuously. The atmosphere of the restaurant is comfortable and comfortable. My only complaint is that I thought the sushi was a bit small.“
“Feb-9: You know you're in the right place when you hear the sushi chef speak Japanese and several tables had Japanese speaking diners! Diverse menu. All of the dishes were good. They do cut their sashimi quite thick, requiring 2-3 bites per piece. Ask for salmon belly sashimi to be blow torched!“
“(don’t mind me digging in before i took a picture) the actual plates are so cute; they spent money on cartoony cat bowls and the actual food was amazing. i don’t eat much normally but i finished all of my food in one sitting that’s how good it was!! i got the curry chicken ramen it was so filling and had lots of flavor and extras in bowl; it wasn’t plain at all. this place is completely underrated; i went in on a saturday afternoon and i was the only person there!! more people should be eating here. the service was obviously amazing there was only one person working but he made sure i was attended to“
“I love Ramen Noodles & born & raised in New Orleans we ❤️it so when I started working @ MD Anderson. In the Medical Center I put Uber Eats on my phone & so I tried this Restaurant & Babyyyyyy when I tell u I've bed. Hooked every since then So today is Ramen Noodles day so since Zi have had it in some months I decided to get it before work this place is A is A Gem I could eat it everyday it's Delicious back home we would call this place A Hole in the wall but it's worth every penny I give it A 5 ⭐!!!“
“This place is absolutely amazing for celebrating our most special occasions with our big family! The food here is unbelievably delicious. The servers are incredibly sweet and kind, going above and beyond to make your experience unforgettable. And guess what? The prices are super affordable, so you can indulge in fantastic food and receive outstanding service without breaking the bank. It's a total win-win situation!Oh, and let me tell you about the weekdays happy hour. It is absolutely worth it! From 5pm to 7pm and again from 9pm, you can enjoy some incredible deals that will make your evenings even more delightful.“
“By far the best sushi spot we have been to. Me and my two boys visited this spot and have nothing but good to say. Everything was freshly made, fast, and our guy “Tony” was on point with his recommendations. Definitely coming back here when we’re back in “
“The sushi was one of the best I’ve had - literally delicious. Especially the king Casper roll and these meat rolls as an appetizer that I can’t remember the name of, unfortunately. This place is one of the best restaurants in Houston, in my opinion based on of 4 years of dining here.“
“Until I came here, I was reluctant to eat sushi in America. Most of the restaurants are run by people who have never been to Japan, and when we say sushi, it's rolls or sticky rice sushi, but this restaurant was different.I was able to speak with the owner, who said he had actually been to Japan, and the sushi rice and toppings were so good that I couldn't believe that they were available in America.The most delicious dish was the haburi kama.It reminded me of my mother's grilled kama that I ate in Japan.The price is a bit high, but if you can get this quality in America, it's worth it.It was the best sushi I've had in America!“
“Great Tasting Sushi. If you haven't been, you have been missing out! I definitely recommend this restaurant (especially on the weekends for HH).They menu is very big so get ready to eat!We had the Pan Fried Gyoza with garlic sauce it was absolutely delicious. Nicely cooked with a tasty crisp. Must Try!The Shaggy Dog - Great recommendation and that spicy mayo just add that extra taste and flavor.The Las Vegas Roll - Great Tasting, cooked nicely, and the sauces complemented the sushi roll very wellYummy Yummy wasn't as yummy, but it wasn't bad.We will definitely be returning again! Thank you, Sushi Monster“
