"The lesser-known sibling of Houston’s acclaimed Azuma Group (Kata Robata and Katami), Soma Sushi is an oft-underrated sushi restaurant. While you may not see famed chef Manabu “Hori” Horiuchi behind the counter, the restaurant maintains the same level of service and quality of fish that the Azuma Group holds standard. After being open for over a decade, it may not feel as scene-y as its sister restaurants, but it’s just as reliable for a sushi sampler, a piping hot bowl of ramen, or simply a bottle of sake at the bar." - Brianna Griff
