"Sister to Atlas Restaurant Group’s Loch Bar and Marmo, this new buzzy restaurant in River Oaks is a welcomed addition to the city’s sushi scene. Diners can find an impressive sake selection to complement its menu of sushi rolls, platters of nigiri, the diner-favorite spicy tuna crispy rice, and inventive dishes. Start with the palate-cleansing flounder crudo, which is made with slivers of Hirame flown in straight from Japan, a delicate pear foam, rolls of tart plums, and an ume-truffle sauce. Then, dig into your favorite slices of sashimi before ending with a hot dish like Korean-style fried rice or the fall-of-the-bone short rib inspired by Houston barbecue joint, the Pit Room. The matcha tiramisu, which is layered with passionfruit, is a flavorful ending." - Brittany Britto Garley
