Cowboy Japanese BBQ&Sushi

Great vibe on for AYCE located on a popular strip of westheimer. Proteins are always fresh and sliced to order, never frozen. Service is very good, most places wait till your plates are empty before refilling, to minimize waste. Here they are very generous with their portions and very quick to refill. There are 2 tiers to order from basic and premium, we decided on the premium as it was dinner, but honestly when we had the basic the 1st time , it was more than enough with many premium cuts even on the basic. Premium only added a few more items which not everyone will like. Prices are inline with the market with lunch being a great value for all you get. A bit far from us , but definitely worth the trip.

It was our first time visiting this restaurant. When we arrived, a male receptionist greeted us very warmly and made a great first impression. I asked to see the menu, and after browsing for a bit, we sat down. A young male host came over to serve us, and he was very friendly and patient. He explained the menu in detail, told us there were three different set menus, and helped us choose. Although we could have picked the cheapest lunch set, we decided to go with the mid-range one, which was around $30 per person. Since it was our first visit, we were quite curious about everything. I have to say, the food itself was quite good — especially the salmon, which was thick-cut and very fresh. The young host recommended a few dishes to us, and they were all pretty decent. However, after he took our first order, his attitude noticeably changed. He became less enthusiastic and distant. No one came to bring us oil for the grill, so we just placed the meat directly on it — it burned and stuck to the pan because there was no oil. Also, our grill kept producing a lot of smoke that blew straight into my face, while other tables didn’t seem to have this problem. The staff noticed but didn’t offer to help or ask if we wanted to change tables. I was wearing a white shirt, and the male host didn’t offer us any black aprons until we went to get them ourselves after noticing other people had them. Some sauce even splashed onto my clothes. Overall, the food was fine and the dining experience wasn’t too bad, but I was quite disappointed with that male host’s attitude toward the end. When I said goodbye and thanked him, he just gave me a strange, expressionless look — almost like a look of disdain, though I’m not sure. He didn’t smile or respond. In contrast, the receptionist was still very warm and politely said goodbye, welcoming us to come again. I don’t know if the male server was unhappy about the 18% tip we left, but his attitude change was very obvious and disappointing. For me, that left a bad final impression. The food quality itself wasn’t bad, but unfortunately, I ended up having diarrhea for two days afterward, while my husband was completely fine. I might still give this place another chance next time, just to see if it was an isolated case.

We went on Friday, July 25, around 8:20pm. We had an amazing experience at Cowboy Japanese BBQ & Sushi. Went we arrived, I checked in using a tablet, the waiting time was about 20 minutes, I received a text message letting me know that the table was ready, but I saw the hostess first who guided us to our table. The only options available were the "Ultimate" or "Supreme", and we opted for the Supreme for more meat diversity. We loved everything. The Fried Rice was perfect. To end our meal, we enjoyed a round of sushi, which was fresh. (We waited a long time for the sushi) There was moderate noise, and multiple parties were celebrating a birthday. I also ordered a drink called the Mexican Sunset, which was excellent. The staff was friendly, and the restaurant was well-organized. I look forward to returning soon.

We absolutely LOVE this place!!! Sushi is fresh, and the meat is delicious, and the food comes out really quick. I kept recommending it to my friends and everyone that came really enjoy it as well. :) Our server Ray was very attentive and friendly!! If you get seated in his section, you’re have a pleasant experience at this restaurant. The only thing that bothered me was the music is too loud.

Service was good but food wasn't great. A waitress who was not my waitress was very aggressive about how much to tip and stood over me 😕 The only thing that was good was the rice and the shrimp. We will not be returning. The atmosphere was nice the waitress was very nice so hope she got my tip outside of that I wouldn't recommend spending $160 for this food.. Real honest videos in the moment rating and why.... But very beautiful place

I wanted BBQ and my friend wanted sushi—Cowboy Japanese BBQ & Sushi gave us the best of both worlds! It’s all-you-can-eat, and we went with the Ultimate option—totally worth it. The sashimi tasted fresh and high quality, while the BBQ beef was tender, flavorful, and grilled to perfection at the table. The variety on the menu was impressive, and everything came out quickly. Great value, fun experience, and left full and happy. Highly recommend for anyone who can’t decide between sushi or BBQ—you can have it all here!

I recently visited this all-you-can-eat Japanese restaurant and overall had a great experience. The selection was fantastic — everything from fresh sashimi to tasty BBQ and a wide variety of rolls. Every dish came out quickly, and the flavors were on point. Our server was also super friendly and attentive throughout the meal. That said, I’d take off a few points for two reasons. First, the brisket was sliced so thin that it tended to stick to the grill. Second, the booths were really tight with hardly any legroom — I’d definitely prefer chair seating next time. Other than that, the food and service were very enjoyable, and I’d still recommend giving it a try!

The Wagyu beef here was absolutely amazing. I also loved the salmon sashimi, which was super fresh and went perfectly with the wasabi.Even the fried rice was delicious every dish we tried was full of flavor and really satisfying! The service was very friendly, the place was clean, and all the food came out fresh and well-prepared. Definitely a 5/5 experience and highly recommend this spot. The ice cream and pudding were also delicious the perfect sweet ending to such a great dining experience!

Everything was great I didn't get a photo of the jalapeno poppers but it was one of my favorite appetizers. All the meat was delicious. The service was good everyone was friendly. I like the atmosphere they play music but it wasn't too loud so you can still have a conversation. I'm definitely going back

Jay was so friendly and attentive, and the food was fresh, flavorful, and amazing. Great service and atmosphere--we'll definitely be coming back!

I had an amazing time at Cowboy. My server Huyen was very attentive and always helped when requested. Huyen was very knowledgeable on the menu and helped us decide what to get. Huyen recommended the Tako Wasabi for us and it was awesome!

Service was amazing - very attentive and knowledgable of menu We ordered the Supreme Package - came with everything on the menu (including Waygu select cuts) Appetizers, Sushi, Salads, Drinks, Meats alll were so fresh and tasty! Atmosphere was clean and organized. I used the Yakinihu sauce on errrrrrrythang lol it was so good!! 1000000/10 will be back!

My family and I visited Cowboy while in town for the weekend. There was a bit of a wait, but not too bad for a Saturday night. The ambiance was quite busy, but our experience was still enjoyable. Im a big fan of KBBQ and this is one of the best spots I've had. I will say it's more on the pricier side, but you can definitely tell the difference in the quality of meats. I was very excited for the sushi, but it turned out to me just okay for me. The staff were good and attentive, but if I were to be picky, the food runners just hand you the meats and run off. I'd be nice if they helped set it on the table instead. Overall, if I would recommend this place to someone who's in town and is willing to pay a little extra for some good quality KBBQ. The lamb chops were 100/10, juicy and had lots of flavor.

This place had some of the best sashimi I've had at an AYCE!!! The kbbq meats were good, sushi rolls were good, even the side salads were good! Our server was super attentive and came around often so we were never waiting to order more food. Note that you can only order 5 things per person per round, but it worked out just fine for pacing!

Wow Cowboy Japanese sets the bar for this new trend of BBQ & Sushi restaurants! As you walk in, the modern ambiance immediately sets the tone. You are able to select from a variety of tasty AYCE menus with plentiful options of fresh meats, sushi, and appetizers. My personal favorites are the Toro Beef and Brisket. The meats were so tender and flavorful. I also really enjoyed the Sweet Shrimp Sushi and Wagyu Sushi. Every bite was perfection! Overall, I had a fantastic experience at Cowboy. The food was amazing, and the service was exceptional. I never had to wait more than a few minutes for any order. I can't wait to come back!

Yes! Yes! Yes! Delicious experience. Service and atmosphere: 6 stars all around. Helpful, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Not to forget very attentive. The restaurant looks really inviting and is well designed inside. Many seating options plus separate bar seats. Food and drinks: 6 stars all around again. Great selection of various starters, meats and sushi options. They have well designed menu that is easy to navigate and choose your selection. Everything we ordered was fresh, tasty once grilled and you can never run out as they offer eat as much as you can. Be informed that due to popularity your time at the table is limited to specific times. Wine, cocktails and beers are available. Our cocktails were very good. Pricing: $$/$ depends on the selected menu level.

I had the pleasure of trying this restaurant out for a Friday date night. My girl was craving sushi and I didn't want to drop $150+ this particular night so I found this all you can eat dinner option. I was a bit hesitant because I didn't know if the quality and freshness would be there, but everything was so good!!! As you can see we had a little bit of everything (and these aren't all the pics). From the appetizers, to the nigiri and rolls, to the dessert, I was not disappointed. The whitefish was my favorite nigiri!! I appreciated the fact that I could remove certain ingredients from most rolls to accommodate preferences and allergies. They don't take reservations but the establishment is large enough to where there isn't a long wait, even on weekend nights. I highly recommend you give it a try if you have an appetite and don't want to break the bank for a sushi lover.

Met my sister and niece here for a birthday lunch and it was amazing! We got the ultimate because we don't really care for wagyu and boy it was gooooood. The sushi was good, the quality of meats were good. The service was quick! The whole place seemed huge! It was perfect for our little group. Gotta try this place with a bigger group to see if service will be as A1.

The AYCE scene for Asian style bbq and sushi is fierce and I am woefully unprepared every time. Instead of classic KBBQ, Cowboy offers Japanese BBQ, which ultimately is fairly similar, just with generally less marinades and slightly different cuts of meat. My dad and I went for lunch on a Saturday afternoon for an early Father's Day outing. We were seated immediately in a dark cozy area. On the weekends, there are only two tiers: ultimate and supreme. Supreme is about $10 more expensive but is the only option that offers the AYCE Wagyu experience. We opted for the ultimate, which came with the premium lunch items and a good amount of other sushi items. Food came out in a timely manner and like other AYCE restaurants, you could order as you go. Portion sizes are all reasonable so it's easy to try multiple things without feeling overwhelmed. The meat, even if it wasn't Wagyu, was good, and each table comes with 3 different dipping sauces for yakiniku. The sashimi options are pretty diverse, not as diverse as a full out sushi restaurant, but had a good variety of fish and mixed cooked and raw options. My favorite sushi dish was the Aburi salmon, ended up getting two of those. Generally, all the fish was pretty fresh, not too fishy, although I will say that the cuts of tuna were not my favorite and I wish they offered the fattier cuts of tuna. We did also end up getting an extra garlic butter cubes that we didn't order by accident but it was good so we just accepted it. I think my biggest regret will be that my stomach can only handle so much food. They have a very diverse menu, including fried foods like karaage and takoyaki, and I would have loved to tried those as well. We ended up not trying any rolls either but they had a good selection that if there was more space in my stomach, I would have loved to try. At least there is always room for dessert. The pudding was yummy, exactly like the jelly pudding you get in boba and my dad had a delicious matcha ice cream. Definitely will need to be back! Maybe with an emptier stomach, a few more people, and a little better prepared.

What can I say that hasn't already been said about this place. The food is excellent, the service is great even when it's busy, and the interior is clean. I can honestly say this is a pretty good spot to take your friends, family, etc when you want AYCE sushi and Korean BBQ. With that being said there are some minor flaws that totaled up enough to change the score from a 5 to a 4. We got a variety of things to try, mostly sticking to the meats and sashimi. The sashimi was really good and fresh, my only complaint with it is there was inconsistency with the sizing. On our first round we got thin slices of yellowtail but thicker cuts of the other fish. On our final round of sashimi the yellowtail was a thick cut on par with the other sashimi on the plate. The fried foods were a bit of a let down, we got Agedashi tofu, takoyaki, and the fried banana. The Agedashi tofu truly felt like it was a vegan nugget with eel sauce on it. Don't get me wrong it was good but it wasn't Agedashi tofu. The takoyaki had a great flavor but I think that they make the balls too big. It was basically 5% octopus and 95% dough. This is usually fine in smaller sized takoyaki but this one was a bit too big. Finally the fried banana, they cut the banana and half and fried it which on paper should be fine but it was kinda soggy and cold by the time it arrived. The nigiri was also a mixed bag for my party. Some of the pieces had rice that was cooked perfectly and others had mushy rice. The inari that I posted a picture of was full of mushy rice which kind of ruined it. I also think that they filled the pocket too much and the inari itself needed to have more flavor. The meats were good, I would highly recommend the lamb chops if you go for the ultimate menu. I will say after a while of ordering different cuts of wagyu I couldn't tell the difference between the cuts, so I would recommend changing things up a bit when you go. The final issues I will address are the grills and the smoke machine they have. The grills get lathered in some oil or sauce(unsure which one it is) which is great but the meat will still end up sticking to it until the grill cover is mostly black. The grill also doesn't have that great of an induction so it can get pretty Smokey after a while. I found myself having to turn my head to get fresh air every now and then. This though could also have been attributed to us being seated by this cool light and smoke display they had. While it was a cool gimmick it made the area super Smokey and a bit unbearable. Also they replayed the same 6 songs on repeat which was pretty annoying.

I've been here two times and both times were amazing experiences! They have three tiers. I think the supreme is worth trying! Overall vibes was chill. There seem to be quite a few people there for celebrations. At the tables, they have three different sauces along with other things to season the meat. There is also extra napkins & wet wipes available for use. If you need extra plates you could also find them in the cabinets connected to your table. The servers are attentive & helpful when it comes to ordering food. They change the grill here and there. I really enjoyed the recommendations I got from my server. They know what's best and are truly very real with you unlike some places. Meat quality is great and plentiful. I think the sushi could be a bit better but still very good. Some favorites are: * Aburi salmon * Sweet shrimp nigiri * Wagyu boneless * Shoyu toro * Pudding

Meat + sushi is a little weird together but I am 100% on board. Ordered the Supreme menu even though I think it was kind of a waste for a non-raw eater. For me, the wagyu bone in short rib and Angus Ribeye were the most tender and delicious cuts. They have some sauces and seasonings at the side of the table. You can ask them for what's not there like sesame oil. The argentine shrimp smelled super fishy, but the meat itself was not. It was sweet. The appetizers were not the best quality imo, but I liked the variety, especially the steamed egg. The cooked sushi were all really good. I wish there was a little more variety though because the cooked ones were all just variations if the same ingredients: crab, avocado, tempura. However, they were very generous with the amount of ingredients packed in the handrolls. I also liked that the maki rolls were only 4 pieces so I could try multiple types. All in all, this is a great concept and I enjoyed myself for the price. I think my only complaint is that it was really hot...

Wow, what an experience! My two favorite food groups - meat and sashimi Cool ambience and friendly wait staff just made the experience that much better. Meat and sashimi quality was excellent and orders came out within minutes. Only minor gripe would be that some of the meat cuts were paper thin and instantly stuck to the roasting hot grill - and I mean that sucker is HOT. It's not like Korean bbq grills where it takes several minutes - some thin cuts on these grills take literal seconds - like don't even let the meat leave your tongs if it's thin. If you aren't sure, just ask the waitress for help or advice because these grills will flare up. The menu is quite extensive especially if you go with the premium option so it helps to do a bit of homework before going in. My friend and I thought we were ready to protein load but we literally could not make it to the 90 minute mark. Haha. This has got to be one of my favorite restaurants of all time, hope to come back next time I'm in HTX! Keep up the food quality and speed, you guys are doing a great job!

Honestly great in terms of AYCE quality! I'd definitely come again & think it's a good bang for your buck. Love the option of having sushi and bbq for ayce, what's not to love?? Some slight issues with the grill but could be user error lol. The seared nigiri and sashimi were more worth it than rolls imo. Meat was pretty good quality as well! Big restaurant with a lot of seating available. Good service as well!

We tried the premium AYCE option and had a great time. All the Wagyu selections were melt in your mouth tender!! It was definitely the highlight of the meal. The Argentina shrimps were sweet and buttery. For sides, I especially liked the avocado salad. Their sashimi and roll options were solid too, with a good variety and quality. At only $45pp, definitely worth it if you're craving a wide range of sushi and Wagyu.

Cowboy Japanese BBQ & Sushi is probably the best Japanese BBQ in Houston! Very good quality for the price. Quick rundown, we came as a party of 5 on a Fri night at 7pm. We only had to wait 15 mins, considering it was prime time, it wasn't bad at all. It helps that the restaurant is huge! The slight downside though is that their tables for 5 or 6 people only have 1 grill top. Service wise, they are FAST! 10/10 in that aspect. Food wise, our favorites were the Wagyu boneless short ribs, shoyu Angus toro beef, Angus ribeye, fried oreos, and strawberry ice cream. Overall, we'd come back again! We tried a little bit of everything, and once we found our favorites we kept ordering the same thing. Their variety of sauces and fresh garlic were really good too. Enjoy!

A new Japanese BBQ place is needed in Houston, and Cowboy Japanese BBQ & Sushi is a good addition. Out of the 3 AYCE options, Supreme seemed to have the best meat variety, and that was what my friends and I went for. The Wagyu boneless short rib was one of our favorites. The raw fish on the nigiri were weirdly sliced in a thin and long rectangular shape. The sashimi were fresh, but the sweet shrimp was a disappointment. Considering the high turnover rate of the restaurant, naturally the fish and meat would be fresh. However, the quality of meat based on the AYCE price, it was acceptable. The ice cream flavors available were green tea, vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry. The green tea ice cream did not have any green tea taste. The rest of the flavors were just typical. The fried Oreos and fried banana were so-so too. The Thai milk tea had a weird after taste, so I would not recommend. Service was kinda slow. The server was nowhere to be seen several times when my party wanted to get more food. That was probably why we could continue to order more after the 100mins time limit. Parking is easy and free.

This is an AYCE place, be prepared to wait if you are coming here, they are usually packed. But their staff is great, super accommodating and friendly. Be aware there is a time limit so my suggestion is to know what you want to order in advance and order in shifts. They have their weekday premium lunch menu $26.99 Ultimate $36.99 (includes everything premium) Supreme $46.99 Includes Wagyu beef (Includes everything premium and Ultimate) They have We have been here like 2 or 3 times now. We really enjoyed the experience and everyone at the table was engaged and interacting with each other. Never have I over eaten like I have here. I really enjoy the meat quality Beef is all pretty much great my favorites Original Toro Beef Shoyu Beef Wagyu Chuck Garlic Butter cubes Shoyu Cubes NY steak I personally did not like their sushi items but I definitely enjoyed the BBQ

Solid 3 stars for the food but the service was amazing from our server Ray. He was helpful, kind and patient with all of my questions. We came on a Friday around 5pm and was seated right away. Once seated Ray walked right over & introduced the items on the menu. We decided to get the supreme just to get the full experience. Here are the items I've ordered. * Miso soup- not enough seasoning and it didn't come out piping hot but it was doable. 3/5 * Garlic scallop- it came with some noodles & it was on an aluminum foil bowl. Basically you put it on the grill for 5 mins and it'll cook the scallop and noodles. Taste wise it was fine. 2.5/5 * boneless short ribs- solid. The meat was tendered & good quality. 3.5/5 * Angus ribeye- probably my favorite, it was tendered & parts of it were fatty which I liked. 4/5 * Shoyu beef shirt- it was marinated but very one dimensional. It was just sweet to me. 2/5 * Angus short rib- Definitely well marinated but no substance to it. Flavor profile wasn't the best. 2.5/5 * Chicken karaage- a little too small and barely any meat inside, but it was seasoned. 3/5 * Crabsticks- can't expect much from imitation crab but it was good. 3/5 * Westheimer rolls- good flavor, good sauce, lots of cream cheese. It was rolled very well and didn't break apart. 4/5 * Mango green tea- refreshing. Tea flavor was there. 4/5 * Green tea ice cream- very good. Creamy & strong green tea flavor. 4/5. Ray did a phenomenal job answering all of my questions and he was there when you needed to order again. The restaurant is nice and they have a full bar. For the price I didn't think it was worth 46 dollars but I was content and left full. Will I come back? It'll be a while until I come back. I'll just stick to Korean BBQ, because in my opinion it just tastes better.

I'm just docking a star because of the food being delivered randomly and I have no idea what their system is on how food is delivered or how they keep track of the orders. There were some times we had to tell the waiter some of our orders never arrived (or maybe it was just taking a while?). Other than that, this place is a GREAT addition of AYCE BBQ and sushi. The food quality is actually really good for AYCE, especially their meats. And for an upgrade, you can also get wagyu which I recommend. Lots of variety. Some of their sushi/sashimi slices are on the smaller end but I wouldn't say it's a negative - just leaves more room to try more or other stuff. Can get quite busy during prime time/weekends but never had to wait an absurdly long time. And all the workers are very personable, accommodating and attentive! They also gave out bibs (that you get to keep!) which I thought was unique and kind. Traditional Asian BBQ vibe and a place to have good times with friends and family. For people with an appetite, I would definitely recommend this place! Can't wait to go back.

We were very excited to try this japanese bbq spot and it definitely was worth it!! We did the ultimate option which was definitely worth it for the meat options. The highlight and my favorite cut of the night was the wagyu boneless short rib. The meat was SO tender and melted in your month. The dipped sauces they provide are so good and complement the meat so well. We also got the salmon and eel sashimi and some of the special rolls. The sashimi tasted pretty fresh and it was nice that they rolls only came with 4 each so we could try a variety without getting too full. Even though the menu had said there was a limit if how many dishes we could order at once, they weren't too busy so they let us order everything we wanted each time. Lastly for dessert we got the matcha ice cream and pudding. They were nice sweet small desserts to end the meal. Overall, this place was 10/10 and I'd come here just to get more of the wagyu meat again because it was truly delicious and sooo worth it!!

Love coming here with my family. The lamb is great!! Definitely the best item you can get, please get the lamb. Our waiter Tai was the best.

I personally loved this place due to more un marinated meat and ayce LAMB chops. You can't find that at any other place. Meats were indeed higher quality but I don't know if most people will prefer the higher price tag. Good meats good service but beware pricier. The sushi section was good but not great. A lot of sauces are heavy with the garlic.

I wish I could list everything I ordered, but honestly--I got almost the entire Supreme menu! Our server, Justyn, was amazing and gave great recommendations throughout. There were so many standout dishes, I lost track of my favorites. Overall, I highly recommend this spot for its wide variety of both barbecue and sushi options!

Visited with my cousins for weekday lunch and we had Sergey as our server. He was super nice, attentive, and really personable! All of our orders came out fast and delicious. The meats are all great - loved the brisket and garlic pork belly! All of the appetizers are delicious as well, enjoyed the calamari and chicken karage. The nigiri is also really good; I loved the eel and shrimp - super fresh! My favorite sushi rolls are the shaggy dog and cowboy! I tried the stir fry noodles which was okay - a bit too salty for my taste and way too much onions. All of this food and the price being just $26.99 is an amazing deal for me. Would definitely go back to try the rest of the items on the menu!

We gave this place a try based on social media and it did not disappoint! All you can eat sushi and wagyu beef amongst a ton of other dishes on the weekend "Supreme" option. How can you hate that! The sushi is made to order so super fresh . Our 2 picky eating kids were able to find a lot of dishes they liked as well. We'll definitely be returning!

Very good !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Conger is very nice, I like it!!!

houston certainly doesnt play when it comes to ayce kbbq and sushi places, so it becomes extremely hard to stand out in a sea of competitors. but thats not something cowboy has to worry about. the portions were generous, and the cuts of meat were nicely marbeled but not overly fatty. despite how much we ate, we didnt feel sluggish or greasy afterwards. we particularly loved the lamb chops, wagyu tataki, and boneless ribs. not to mention how fresh and smooth the sashimi was! i looove a good variety when it comes to ayce so i had the time of my life exploring everything the menu had to offer. the highlight of our night was our server, khang, who was extremely attentive and friendly. he knew what you needed before you even realied -- water, napkins, another round of meat. overall, cowboy has earned its spot as one of houstons top bbq and sushi places for me!!

We went on opening day knowing they would have some small issues. My waitress was not the best, very forgetful but sweet so most of my order was messed up or missing. It's food so it's fine. The food was hit or miss. The lunch bbq selection wasn't great. Do the dinner menu if you want better meat choices. Listening to the tables around me had the same opinion. The meat was very chewy. The sushi was ok, most were bland. I guess that's why they have wasabi. This place took over the previous AYCE True Sushi. I wish they would do something else with this place besides AYCE sushi. I hope this place has better success than True did.

Located in the spot where True Sushi used to be. There aren't many places that do Japanese BBQ outside of Gyu Kaku, and even less that offer ayce. Their prices are pretty good for the quality and selection of meats they offer. We've been here around 3 times since they've opened and have tried the Lunch, Ultimate, and Supreme tiers. If you can come for their lunch price, you are definately in for a good meal. Most of their selections are available in that tier. If you come during dinner, I would stick to the Ultimate tier. You get everything from the lunch tier and a couple additional items. However, if you are in it for the wagyu, then you'll have to go Supreme. My favorite items have been the Angus Bone In Short Rib, Original Angus Toro Beef, and Beef Brikset.

Very attentive waitstaff. Service was amazing. I was very impressed with the quality of meat and the quality of the sushi was above average. What impressed me the most was the cost! This is definitely a restaurant to add to my rotation!

I love love love sushi. So they had me at the all you can eat sushi! We tried many different nigiri and maki rolls. My favorite was the white fish and the eel. I like the crab rangoons and the sweet spicy sauce that came on the side. I really enjoyed the fried bananas. It was sweet, but not too sweet. I didn't really care for the fried Oreos, but I was also stuffed LMAO. The butterfly kiss... 10/10 recommend. Our waitress was so friendly and very helpful. She knew the menu very well and everything she recommended we loved. She was very attentive and checked on us throughout the night to make sure we didn't need anything else. You are put on a timer, but it didn't feel like it. We were so full before our time was up. It was pretty loud in there, but it was definitely a social spot. We didn't have to wait too long for a table. The only thing I would say was, it was a little toasty in there, but I know they also serve hot pot too. I would recommend this place if you are looking for some fresh sushi in a fun atmosphere.

Food is delicious. Best of both worlds. Great service. I highly recommend. It can be pricey but you have different tiers to choose from Great service

The first thing I got was bad -thai tea. Don't get it. It tastes weird. Out of all the BBQ meats I really only liked the Angus Bone-in Short Rib (we did the Ultimate). Bc of this I do prefer Gen for BBQ eventhough it's Korean... Our server, Tai, was nice and very accommodating. He was easy to get a hold of and to talk to. And he had a good attitude. Another thing that matters to me is cleanliness. I didn't see a single dirty spot at this restaurant. Along with 20% tip our total was close to $100. Passionfruit Green Tea - 4/5 Sweet but still kind of bitter Shu Mai - 4/5 Tastes good but it's deep fried Spicy Salmon Tartar - 2/5 Tastes bland Mango Tuna Tartar - 2/5 Bland, meh Steamed Eggs - 5/5 Great taste, comes with 2 separate bowls Cali Roll - 3/5 Tastes kind of old/not fresh Westheimer Roll - 4/5 Good but too much sauce

Cowboy Japanese BBQ and Sushi is such a unique experience! Never would I have thought a spot would combine all you can eat barbecue and sushi, but Cowboy proved me wrong. While I must say I'm not the biggest fan of barbecue, the meat options here (especially the chicken) were delicious. As for the sushi, the sashimi cuts were very generous (i love!) and the rolls were also very filling. Overall I'm not sure if I would come back again just because I'm really not the biggest barbecue fan, but if you have an appetite and enjoy both - I would say go for it! It's a great deal :) Also side note, I absolutely adore the little cowboy-labeled bib they give out! It's so cute.

Another AYCE BBQ but with some sushi as well (also AYCE). The Ultimate level of AYCE is worth the try, but the Supreme level of AYCE is overkill from myself, my fiancé, and her parents, especially since we enjoyed many of the meat options at the Ultimate level. Since it is an AYCE and at a joint BBQ-Sushi restaurant, I had lower expectations for the sushi pieces. Even with lower expectations, the fish pieces barely passes. It might be a late Wednesday night that we went to eat, but my in-laws were disappointed by the service during our time there. The grill stopped working during our meal, and two servicer spent about 10 minutes trying to fired up the grill over-and-over before they finally decided to move us to another table with a functional grill. And we had to flag down the waitress more than 50% of the time to order or ask for more food, water, and the bill. Overall, we were not impressed by the lack of attention, especially since it was not busy, but this could be a one-of event. My fiancé and I would be opened to trying this place again, and we both agreed it is decent for a AYCE Japanese BBQ and Sushi restaurant if you order at the Ultimate level.

BBQ flavors are little different to compared Korean or Japanese. Nigiri Sushi was very "skinny" and size was very wired to me. Tuna and mango tartar came like a biggest "chucks" of tuna, and "shouldered" of mango mix with sauce. Good things was It was no waiting on week days lunches and waiter was very attempt to our tables. It just standard all you can eat sushi and bbq buffet, nothing a special.

Our goto bbq spot now here in HTX. 4th time already coming here and they do not disappoint. You have to definitely try the Lamb Chops, Butter Steak Cubes, and even just the Brisket. Even their Sashimi is fresh and no fishy aftertaste (referring to Salmon and Tuna). Customer service is on point and great spot to bring your guests out of town.

Taste and freshness is above standard... highly recommended. Dessert needs more choices and pls upgrade to tablet ordering system placed at each table.

A great edition to the AYCE restaurants in Houston. You'd think it would be hard for a restaurant to do both sushi and bbq but this place executed it well. I loved the black and gold interior of the restaurant, giving it an elegant vibe. I got the lunch menu but everything was great. The nigiri was really good, my favorite was the yellowtail nigiri; it so fatty and melted in my mouth. It was definitely on par with some sushi places downtown. I love that they included lamb in the AYCE as it is mine of my favorite cuts. The appetizers were pretty good although they could fix the agedashi tofu dish bc that was not like the original at all. Our service was fast and food came out quick. Overall, 7.5/10.

Service is decent. Missing 20% of menu items somehow, was kept being told not available which was a bummer. But overall, fresh meats, lots of options, comes out pretty quick for grilled meats, sushi is much much slower. Will be back again! Definitely one of the best bbq's in town now!

Came in here with my friends on a Thursday evening @ 6:15pm. It was not pack, we were seated right away when we arrived. We order the unlimited $36.99. Our waiter was Hoang. He was amazing. He and others servers were very attentive in bringing food out, picking empty plates, & taking order. Britney was so sweet. She brought us a cute black cowboy apron. She was like a hostess/concierge person wearing multiple hats to many things. It soon started to get busy around 7:00pm. The meat was pretty decent I like the 1. beef tongue, 2. Shoyu Angus Toro Angus Beef, & 3. Beef brisket (in this order). I order spicy tuna tartar 0/5 (did not like), pepper tuna tataki 3.5/5, escolar carpaccio 4/5, yellowtail jalapeño 4/5, seared salmon sushi 4/5, seared yellowtail 4/5, seared escolar sushi 4/5, & chopped scallop 0/5 (did not like). I tried garlic abalone & NY steak both were 2/5. At the end I ordered green tea ice 4/5 and Fried Oreo 4.5/5. The fried Oreo was good. The only negative thing was that 1 of the A/C was broken. When you are grilling in front of a hot stove, you are definitely sweating.

The supreme selection was the best choices Justin was suggest all the best meat on the menu to us we were very satisfied!!!!

Dont go to this place yall. It's a scam. I've never seen any places that a waitress came and forced you to tip more and at a certain % like this place. The waitress's name is ZOE if i'm not wrong. My first experience with them was bad just because of that. I dont think i'd go back to this place. I just dont want to go to a restaurant where server forces you to tip like this. I need to have an explaination from them at least because it's still not understandable to me. If anyone thinking abt going here, i'd not recommend!! SO DISAPPOINTED!!!

The restaurant was clean and cozy. The meat was really good; however, it had so much fat that I have to cut it out. I do recommend trying the meet with sauces they have on the table. They go very well together. The quality of sushi was decent. However, I had to wait like over 30 minutes for my sushi and an hour for my Takoyaki. Will be back and hope to see improvement!

First time dine in today. Good experience so far. Service: 10/10 - Jay provide us a wonderful service, very care-taking Food: 8/10 - Food was good, some dishes like beef tataki very tasty, sashismi are fresh Atmosphere 10/10: very modern and cozy
