Best Tapas Restaurants in University of Houston

A really fun location with a wonderful band and great ambiance.

We had a delicious meal and loved the restaurant. There’s so much flavor in the food. The tapas style of dining is so cool and works well for us. Cannot wait to visit again.

Nice place. Food was good. Service was nice! We had a great time with friends.

Started with the sangria and a glass of wine for my wife. Sangria was a little sweet for me, but i get that varies from place to place. Then had the trio dip appetizer but substituted the sourdough bread for the pita bread. Much better. Shared the village salad which was amazing. Then had the steak kabob for the entree - excellent. We shared the dishes and had plenty of food. We went on a Sunday at noon and the place was very quiet which we enjoyed. I know in the evenings it gets much more active. Highly recommend Helen's!

Second time here but over a year in between and it was just as good as the first time. Service can be a little hit or miss, as they are stretched like most restaurants these days. Have some patience, and they will take care of you. The food is really good with lots of variety and good value packages of fixed price Japanese BBQ meals for various sized guest tables. We had the Holiday special for 3 and it was a ton of food. Probably enough to feed 4 or 5 with a variety of meat, chicken, and shrimp. While it may not be the highest quality Japanese or Korean style BBQ places in town, it's very good and worth the money.
