    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.

    One of our favorite sushi restaurants in Houston. Our favorites: the nigiri (salmon, kanpachi, medai, hamachi), the Momo roll and the cauliflower tempura. Great drinks and delicious desserts- the apple pie and green tea tiramisu. They also have a great lunch menu - we’ve brought our kids out for this.

    The sushi was the best I’ve ever had, hands down. Every piece was crafted to perfection and of the highest quality I’ve experienced.

    It was a great, 2-hour, 21-bite course for a reasonable price (around $160 per person). It was our first omakase experience, so we didn't have another place to compare it to. Nevertheless, we had a great time and Chef Yoshi was wonderful. This is such a great place for a special event. We were there for our wedding anniversary. The room temperature was too cold for us and we did ask for the AC to be turned down a bit and they did. I was still cold coming out of there, however. This one is subjective, since even the Chef was sweating, so he probably needed that temperature to be cold more than I did. Food was excellent!
