5Kinokawa

The 8 Best Omakases In Houston - Houston - The Infatuation

"Mash up a sushi restaurant with some infomercial salesman charm, and you’ve got 5Kinokawa in The Heights. This $150 omakase-only spot is open from Friday to Sunday. Each tasting has a few plated dishes and nigiri pieces like flounder fin muscle. There are also a lot of flashy presentations and stand-up comedy show-style displays of fresh-cut fish filets. The addition of high-end cocktails and intermittent injections of cooked dishes like cod sperm dumplings help set a quick pace. And soon, you’re shuffling out, full of fish and wondering if you just signed up for a timeshare." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
