Best fish in Houston! Yoshi does an incredible job bringing in the best variety and quality. And then he marries the best fish with very tasteful and tasty sauces and flavors.

Beautiful and delicious food with unique flavorings that don’t distract. Really enjoyed the ambience and the selection of items. No warm sake, which may not be a negative to some, but I like it. But, I learned about a chilled sake which I now will order. Miso glazed sea bass was good but a small portion and I’ve had better. Will definitely frequent this new restaurant! On service: it started really well but our server seemed to turn attention to others even though we were actively ordering and had made this clear. Great service when we had the attention!

My son and I love this place. Our waiter Kieto suggested wonder Maki and crudo dishes and even sent a celebratory dish at the end for the completion of his midterms. Always a great time.

The place was lovely but a little fancier than we were expecting. Everything we had was delicious. The service was good but my in-laws are hard of hearing and the servers were totally oblivious to that. So it was very awkward. Bring charged for wasabi and ginger was annoying.

markedly, disappointing. The food was fresh, but the presentation was simply average and the none of the courses are something that created a wow sensation that's so often occurs with an Omakase menu. The server was not adequately, educated in the dishes that were being presented.
