Best Casual Restaurants in Southeast Houston

Absolutely lovely. A good friend and I love to have tea together and saw this on an Instagram post. The sandwiches were delicious, scones were yummy, dessert was great. But honestly it’s the TEA I can’t stop thinking about. The Cream Earl Grey was so fantastic I asked if they sold it. We learned they have a special tea consultant (that’s not the term but I can’t recall.) We also received a glass of champagne on arrival and each of us tried a cocktail which were both unique and delicious. Service was warm and friendly. Will return!

We really dug the vibe. The interior is really stylish. The only thing we thought that was lacking was our particular server’s service. When I requested a second cocktail and asked him to surprise me with something vodka based, he brought a “French 76”, made with vodka instead of gin. Notwithstanding whether or not such a drink exists vis a vis the known “French 75” drink, he should have known that I had JUST finished a French 75, in part because I had the same gin style glass on my table. This is not service I would expect from a Michelin level restaurant (I know this one did not get one, but maybe you are gunning for it), many of which me and my wife have been too, including multiple Three Star restaurants! The waiter should be more aware as being delivered such a drink might be thought of as being lazy or dismissive towards the diner. My wife and I are well prepared to pay large amounts for a top notch dinner as well, and we are more likely to do so when a restaurant succeeds in ALL categories.

Start to finish everything was incredible. We had the classics and also branched out to new items. The beet dish was the hit of the night! The spaghetti al limone was perfection.

We had a great time! The place is nice and has good vibes and the food was good! Service was Ok.

Koya is a place where I’d recommend everyone to try out at least once! The food was really good and had flavor to it. The waitress was very nice and made our experience even better with how she treated us! I would definitely go back again.
