    Went for the Valentines day omakase. Had a reservation for 9:15 pm that we had to put a deposit down for. Their was about 10 couples that also had not been seated before us. Ended up getting seated at 10:45 pm. Didnt get our first dish until 30 mins later. They ended up missing four of our dishes that we had to remind them otherwise we wouldnt have gotten them. The individuals around us also didnt get 4-5 dishes. And on top of that, the waiter was extremely rude about me bringing up that they forgot our dishes. And when said dishes were brought out they were extremely rushed and over cooked. We ended up leaving the establishment at 1:15 am. From a 9:15 pm reservation. Extremely unacceptable, nothing was done to compensate for the terrible service and wait either. Will not be coming back ever. The only pleasant thing about this experience was the wine specialist. Do not come here for Valentines day.

    I recently experienced an omakase dinner that, unfortunately, fell short of expectations. The restaurant had clearly overbooked, leading to significant delays in service. What should have been a seamless culinary journey stretched over 4 hours, with dishes arriving inconsistently. The servers seemed overwhelmed and unfamiliar with the menu, often struggling to keep track of which tables had received which courses. This lack of organization detracted from the dining experience, making it feel disjointed rather than the carefully curated meal one expects from omakase. While the food itself may have had potential, the poor execution and service issues made it difficult to fully appreciate.

    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.
