Moku Bar

Moku Bar recently replaced Samurai Noodle in the Conservatory, Houston's underground beer garden and food hall, in March 2017. When I arrived, I was told to pick up a metal tray with a paper menu and pencil and fill out what I wanted to order. I decided to go with the Mady's Special on sushi rice for $9. This consisted of spicy salmon, avocado, cucumbers, masago, unagi sauce, fried onions, furikake, and shrimp chips. The service was friendly, and they completed my group's order fairly quickly. One of my friends, who went to school in Hawaii and knows Hawaiian cuisine quite well, told me the poke here is pretty authentic. The fish looks like it's well marinated and doesn't leave a watery mess on the bottom of the bowl, which is something my friend really looked out for. Cool, I guess I trust his judgement. I thought my Mady's Special order tasted okay though. Maybe I'm a noob and ordered the wrong thing, but I didn't feel the salmon was that fresh. It's not a bad place, but it's just not somewhere I would go out of my way for. Next time I'm in the area, I may try something else on their menu... or maybe eat somewhere else in the Conservatory.

Decided to come here during lunch. Although there was a line, the wait was fairly quick. Basically you take one of the order sheets, put your name on it and fill out the rest. You can choose from the preselected poke bowls or you can make your own. I got the HTX, super delicious! The salmon/ tuna tasted fresh and everything in the bowl went perfectly together. I really liked that the poke bowl wasn't 90% rice, you definitely got a good amount of seafood for the price. Will definitely be back to try more.

The conservatory is a great place to hang out at. Parking is limited, but your food selection is wide. I chose to come to moku to try their udon soups. The only time I've ever came here was for their spam masubi. Which is delicious but they raised up the price to $4.33. great snack for when you're drunk, I'll tell you that. They have original or spicy, which basically is hot Cheetos and spicy mayo flavored, but seriously pretty good. Esp if you were raised on spam like me. I ordered the shrimp tempura miso. You get about 5 shrimp tempura with mushrooms and udon. Please order the tempura on the side, mine wasn't that crispy since it's been soaking in this hot broth. The soup was good, much more lighter than the beef broth. The udon noodles are not really udon noodles which was disappointing but overall okay. I'd much rather go to Bellaire to get udon because at least it's actual udon. The staff was nice, the service was fast, the prices were much. It was $10, which maybe isn't too bad for the area. I'd give this place a 3.5.

Food is so good and fresh every time we come. The ataff is friendly and very helpful with explaining the menu. They also have Sake and its kid friendly! The environment outside is lovely with all the lights.

Great for fresh food when you don't want something heavy! The build your own poke bowl is awesome!

I really enjoyed the Mixed Poke bowl or the Truffle Yellowtail!!!

Took a few friends out for the opening night and we couldn't have been happier with the outcome. Most restaurant openings you're waiting hours for your food and even after waiting, it will be the wrong dish. Not here, it was an awesome meal with great service. The drink selection enhances the experience and leaves you wanting to try more. All of our party finished their meals and for the most part finished their drinks. I wish I could remember the name of the sake we had but it came in a white bottle. Highly recommend it. My girlfriend had the Mady dish and she finished the entire dish. Safe to say she loved it. I had the anti poke and wish I could of had more. But I was too busy drinking the sake. We had a great experience and look forward to visiting this restaurant again!

Employee said The HTX and the Yes Man were the best sellers and tried the Yes Man. Super fresh and very filling, also got some fries to pick on which were amazing!
