The Best New Restaurants in Houston, Texas in July 2025 | Eater Houston

"Duckstache Hospitality, the restaurant group behind restaurants like Handies Douzo and Aiko, is back at it again with another one. Its latest restaurant, Doko, opened in an alleyway in Autry Park, offering a combination of sushi and yakitori dishes prepared using cooking techniques like brining, fermenting, dry-rubbing, and charcoal. Of the hot dishes, the aromatic chicken fat rice, which is topped with a slow-cooked Japanese egg, is a highlight. Opt for the six-course tasting menu, which features crudo, chef-selected nigiri, and the wagyu toast, and consider a before- or after-dinner drink at the nearby Bar Doko, which boasts one of the largest Japanese whisky collections in Houston. Cheers." - Brittany Britto Garley
