This place is very cute and the people are nice. I really wanted to be in love with it. They get a 10/10 for presentation, friendliness, service and general vibe. The drinks were also unusual and quite good. Sadly all the food was very underwhelming. The pictures of the whole grilled squid looked deceptively large and juicy. It was actually a pretty sad little squid. I ordered dumplings and they came in this massive dish, but there were only 4 dumplings. It looked a bit awkward. The food is not bad, it's just not that amazing especially for the price. You are paying for location and presentation. Overall I had a good time, and if someone wanted to go, I would go back, but between having to pay for parking and the food being mediocre fusion (not authentic), I wouldn't drive out of my way to do this again.

The service, food, and atmosphere of this place definitely puts it in the top 10 of Houston’s most sought after Japanese restaurants the food, don’t get me started the food. Mesmerizing just as the the picture depicts. Yes I know, I’m using an iPhone. 12 pro max so the pics don’t give this meal proper justice but I can personally attest the taste of this food! It was incredible! Eat it just as it comes, no need to ask for additional sauces. I will certainly be coming back here again! That miso broth was so potent, I could Just tell they cooked for more than 24hrs to allow maximum flavor!!!!!!!! To this day, I still crave their noodles. The dumplings seasoned and the sauces pulled everything together!!!!!

The food, atmosphere, and service were all fantastic. I was able to enjoy and have fun while eating. Shout out to our waiter I believe his name was Kai, he gave us recommendations and routinely came around to check on us. There was also another guy that was helping with clearing the dishes along with checking on us. We thoroughly enjoyed the dishes we selected. The shoyu ramen with the added spice on the side was great. I will add that if you are used to eating spicy things then it might not be spicy enough for you. The fries were awesome along with the gravy sauce that they came with definitely something I'd recommend.

So many great dishes to try! We ordered small plates and shared. Egg plant, egg rolls, pan fried dumplings, soup dumplings, chicken bao, chicken wings. Would definitely order all again. Try the Mai Tai! You won't be disappointed! And the sake flights are fun too!

My disclaimer for this location is I don’t eat pork and the menu does cater to the typical southern pork consumer so it may have received five stars from someone who can actually take full advantage of the menu. I am not that girl. With that said, it’s adorable and comfortable with a nice zen layout. I ended up ordering a double order of vegetarian dumplings while were yummy. They had this odd green called shepherds purse I believe. Anywho good and light. I could have done the one or two veggie broth bowl or a poke bowl but it was just lunch so I passed. My friends enjoyed their meals so that’s a plus. Check it out. Hopefully they will add a few more options for the other non pork eaters but I’m sure their business will not suffer if they don’t.

This restaurant is beautiful!! The the ambiance was amazing. The mix drinks are a bit on the weak side. The poke bowls were good. I didn't realized that they were cold dishes...its basically a bowl of deconstructed sushi! The crab bowl was great! I scallop bowl was decent. The tofu didnt have much taste The fries were amazing!!! A must! I would go back again

so i've been here once about like 5 years ago and i remember not liking any of the food i ordered and never wanted to come back. however i decided to give it another try yestersay and my experience was great. it was a friday night around 9pm and they were pretty busy, almost packed. i walked in alone and got a table right away. despite of dining alone, the service was amazing, i felt welcomed. everyone i encountered were professional and friendly. i ordered the beef skewers, korean bbq wings, soup dumplings, creme brulee, and some hot green tea. the beef skewers were so yummy. korean bbq wings were good as well, a little dry. a solution for this is pouring some water and let it sit and it gets soft. the soup dumpling was exactly what i expected. ordered hot green tea and loved the design of the cup. for dessert i got the creme brulee and it was so delish! it wasn't too too sweet and i enjoyed it a lot. i ordered a lot and the total came out to be only $50 - such a good price. as for parking i parked at the 24h cvs across from it. i think everyone parks there because the lot was full. overall i think their menu have changed and i can see myself coming back here. also the music wasn't overly loud, and so that was another plus for me.

Lots of yummy small plates. From soup dumplings, sushi, and grilled food. I highly recommend the octopus dish as it is well seasoned and very tender. The soup dumplings are good but if you ever had it in New York chinatown you might be disappointed. Sushi was fresh and tasty. The meats i ordered were tender and well seasoned. A great gem in the city. Would definitely come again if i am in the area.
