Houston's Best New Restaurants Of 2024 - Houston - The Infatuation

"This 15-seat restaurant focuses on handrolls, and watching chefs effortlessly assemble each dish is close to spending an evening at the ballet. Making small talk with the chefs about which fish in the donburi bowl was our favorite. Two sets of lobster temaki and ikura temaki, premium donburi, and pandan kakigori. Feeling like you’ve been knighted when nori is placed in your hand, fancy date nights worth the money, and black-box theater. Seats at Kira fill up quickly, and there’s typically only a day-of reservation at 5pm or 9pm on most days of the week. If you’re interested in a primetime spot, online reservations open up three weeks in advance. But if you recently won the lottery and want to test your luck further, you can show up right when they open and check if there’s a free seat." - julie takahashi, chelsea thomas, gianni greene, chelsea thomas, gianni greene, chelsea thomas, chelsea thomas, gianni greene, chelsea thomas, chelsea thomas, gianni greene, chelsea thomas, gianni greene
