Restaurants near West University Place

“We LOVE this establishment, the cocktails are always fantastic and strong. The service is ALWAYS great and a joy to be around. The skinny margaritas rimmed with jajin and my favorite. We wish they had a skinny frozen margarita machine. The food is ok, could use a little more flair and flavor. Even though the food is ok, we will still come regularly to Los Tio’s in West-U.Vegetarian options: Ask and you shall receive vegetarian options.Parking: We never had a parking issue.”

“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!”

“Mimo has easily become our favorite Italian dining experience. From the moment we walked in to our reservation we were greeted with a smile, true professionals. Our server went above and beyond, offered recommendations and really took care of us. The food was impeccable you can taste the quality of the made from scratch dishes, and the portions were perfect. We sat in the patio on a beautiful Sunday evening we shared a few appetizers including Fritters, the crochette, my daughter had the gnocchi, and my wife and I shared the costasa (ribeye). Everything was delicious, thank you to the kind staff at Mimo.”

“Happened to be staying at the Marriott Marquis and decided to eat here since it was adjacent to the hotel. It was a great decision. It is always a plus when patio seating is available. The drinks were amazing and the food was on point. Xochi is an authentic Mexican gem! The vibe, food, and drinks are amazing. The ambiance is vibrant, the dishes are bursting with flavor, and the handcrafted cocktails are a must-try. I highly recommend this restaurant while visiting Houston and, of course, even for locals, for an unforgettable Mexican dining.”

“Excellent dinner and even better service!!”

“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.”

“Had Sunday brunch for my birthday and the food was absolutely delicious. I recommend the Rosewater Panna Cotta for dessert.”

“On the ground floor there is fast food of all kinds, a lot of variety, which I liked. Going up the stairs on the roof you have a viewpoint that is very pleasant especially when it is not so sunny because otherwise you will get burned. I will definitely return.”

“The absolute best drinks in town if not in the world. Every drink is crafted to perfection each single time. No wonder the place is always busy, even during working hours on weekdays. Just wish they had more room for seating!”

“My new favorite restaurant in Houston. The service is unparalleled here. The fruits-de-mer seafood platter was fantastic, the cocktails are excellent, and the carrot brownie dessert are all 5 stars. I could not recommend this place more.”

“Yummy brunch! Our party of 6 were able to be seated quickly without any reservations on a weekday. We got high tables initially but the servers were kind to allow us to move to a low dining table after it was made available.We didn’t have to wait too long for our food and the ones we ordered were decent as well. Loved the matcha and coffee served here too!Totally would recommend for a fuss free brunch.”

“They have something special juicing here at this healthy food truck. The two ladies behind the counter are always welcoming and hard at work to make sure I’m taken care of. First healthy food truck/restaurant of a sea of a thousand that makes me look forward to coming back. I hope they become a small part of Houston culture over the many years to come.They seem to be at hermann park Sundays and rice village on Sundays at the farmers market. Cheers ?Dietary restrictions: Stephanie is a whiz at all the healthy stuffKid-friendliness: Lots of kids and dogs, sunshine etc come on out.”

“Great location and quick order entry The staff is very friendly and ready to assist, what you would expect for customer service oriented restaurant. Thank Michelle, Helen and George for putting smiles on your customers faces.”

“We popped in for an unplanned bite with friends. We didn’t have a reservation and I highly recommend one. We were glad to be gifted one hour given our resy gaffe.Our waitress was charming and attentive. As expected, our food was high quality and delicious. While one of my favorite nigiri fishes tends to be loup de mere, the kanpachi was the winner of the hour!”

“BCN is our go to restaurant for special occasions. Tonight we went for my husbands Birthday. Once again our experience reminded us why we keep coming back. To us, it's not only the delicious food and drinks, but also the service and the experience. The food is always amazing. Delicious and prepared to perfection. The service is above the bar which makes the experience even better. You are made to feel like family. Our server Juan always goes out of his way to make sure we not only have everything we need, but also makes sure everything exceeds our expectations. You are made to feel like royality when you dine at BCN. It is worth the trip all the way from the Clear Lake area. If you haven't experienced BCN, you need to. Ask for Juan and I know you'll have a fantastic experience.”

“Best ramen in Houston and the service is amazing!! I always start off with a jinya bun and the end with the tonkotsu black! Drinks are always delicious as well definitely check out jinya!”

“The best food and service ! Ignore the bad reviews! Some people are just so cheap and have no appreciation for the art of dining! All around one the best restaurants I have ever gone.”

“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 ??❤️”

“Beautiful, clean place, and hands-down the best fish tacos I've ever had.”

“Overall the food was really good. My son had the the beef Birria tacos. The food came out hot, fresh and promptly. The sauce added great flavor! He said he’d order again.”

“Niaa needs to be a waiter she very sweet and pretty and honest I love her to death”

“The moment we entered the restaurant, we were immediately struck by its beauty. The décor was simple but elegant, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. We were greeted by the friendly and attentive staff, who showed us to our table. The food was simply outstanding. The sushi was fresh and flavorful, and the sashimi was melt-in-your-mouth delicious. We also tried some of the other dishes on the menu, and they were all equally impressive. We left the restaurant feeling completely satisfied, both physically and emotionally. We had had one of the best meals of our lives, and we were both giggling like two little teenagers. This restaurant truly exemplifies what a sushi dining experience is all about.”

“Wonderful menu, service and location. Highly recommended.”

“Best Texas barbecue I ever had. Great service and food.”
