Komé: Sushi Kitchen

"Perhaps best known for the action-packed sushi rolls (that are often topped with their go-go sauce, a spicy mayo), Komé is a low-key and homestyle Japanese restaurant in Ridgetop. The menu is super-broad, spanning from sushi to gyoza to ramen to bento boxes to yakitori. The restaurant doesn’t take reservations, so be prepared to wait during peak hours, but we really like to eat at the long sushi bar, our go-to solo sushi spot." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion

"This popular North Loop restaurant serves unique rolls, like the Texas Surf and Turf, an ode to the state made with shrimp tempura and hanger steak, maki, and hand-pressed sushi. The traditional offerings are stellar, as is the lunchtime chirashi bowl. There are a few dining tables outside, and expect a crowd pretty much all the time." - Nadia Chaudhury

"Co-owners Také and Kayo Asazu transformed their popular sushi trailer Sushi A-Go-Go into a full-blown laid-back North Loop restaurant, offering their takes on homestyle Japanese fare. Along with impeccable sushi and affordable rolls, the lunch menu features bentos for those seeking a little bit of everything, as well as loaded donburi bowls (the hokkai-don is a richly indulgent one, with salmon sashimi, ikura, and scallops; add the uni if it’s available). There are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Nadia Chaudhury, Erin Russell

"Sushi is always a good idea, especially when the North Loop Japanese restaurant’s rolls can satisfy single diners or groups. It’s open until 10 p.m. on Mondays. There are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Polly Anna Rocha, Darcie Duttweiler

"The lunch menu at the North Loop Japanese restaurant is somewhat different from its dinner offerings. There are teishoku (lunch combinations) with mains like karaage, katsu, and hangar steak, we well as sushi lunch specials and rolls, bento boxes, and donburi and chirashi bowls. It’s available from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on weekdays and until 3 p.m. on weekends. Takeout orders can be placed online; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Darcie Duttweiler
