"Blossom Hotel has drawn in Houston diners in part because of its anticipated Japanese restaurant Molihua, with acclaimed chefs Ho Chee Boon and Hideki Hiwatashi at the helm. But aside from the dim sum and Michelin-star-worthy dishes, the hotel also serves stellar views of the city skyline, which can be enjoyed poolside on its 13th floor." - Brittany Britto Garley, Sean Hekmat
"Michelin-starred chefs Ho Chee Boon and Hideki Hiwatashi opened the anticipated Molihua in the Medical Center’s Blossom Hotel. Molihua, which means “jasmine” in Mandarin, brings contemporary Japanese cuisine, dim sum, and sweets to the community. The restaurant’s interior, inspired by the jasmine flower, provides a soothing, contemporary aura, and dishes such as the Japanese A5 wagyu skewer, Aburi nigiri moriawase (grilled, flame-seared sushi), and Molihua grilled duck and rice are among its early standouts." - Brittany Britto Garley, Kayla Stewart
"Opened April 23 on the second floor of the Blossom Houston in the Texas Medical Center, this contemporary Japanese restaurant—launched by Michelin-starred chefs Ho Chee Boon and Hideki Hiwatashi—pairs more than 35 and 30 years of international and kaiseki training, respectively, to present a menu of contemporary Japanese and Asian dishes, dim sum, and sweets. Early standouts include a Japanese A5 wagyu skewer, an Aburi nigiri moriawase (grilled, flame-seared sushi), and a signature grilled duck and rice, alongside a selection of sweets influenced by the Asian continent. The dining room’s jasmine-inspired decor creates a moody, contemporary aura, with a central sushi bar where the team prepares sushi and Japanese seafood, and seating options ranging from booths and two-tops to bar seats suited for groups, dates, or solo diners. The chefs position the concept as a way to connect through food; the restaurant is open daily from 5:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., plans to add lunch service soon, and accepts reservations online." - Kayla Stewart
