"Katy residents don’t have to go far to experience high-quality sushi and inventive Japanese and Asian diasporic dishes. The hot and cold small plates run the gamut, from a 72-hour sous vide short rib to the sweet and spicy Chilly Chu, an assembly of medium fatty bluefin tuna, lemongrass shoyu, golden beets with Thai chili, and mango. The nine-course tasting menu for $120 features a variety of dishes that demonstrate the best of what Tobiuo has to offer." - Brittany Britto Garley
"For an elevated Japanese dining experience, head to this strip mall restaurant at La Cantera. Amongst the hot plates, the short rib — a 72-hour sous vide preparation, plated with peach carrot puree and pickled red onions and herbs — takes the crown. The sushi menu features popular cuts, from bluefin toro to uni. And, for maki roll lovers, the restaurant has a variety of rolls, like the Tokyo City Lights, a roll of tuna, asparagus, and ponzu. Can’t decide what to order? Go for the nine-course tasting menu for $120 and get a comprehensive snapshot of some of the chef’s favorites." - Minh Truong
"Offers half-off yakitori skewers (not including the wagyu skewers), $8 hamachi kama, $3 for its pork belly or chicken thigh dishes, and $2 glasses of hot sake when you wear Astros gear and mention the 'Astros special'." - Brittany Britto Garley
"Sherman Yeung, chef and owner of Tobiuo, is set to open a playful “New Japanese” restaurant called Money Cat." - Adele Chapin
"Beverage Director Le Chau puts a Japanese spin on the classic with the Tobiuo Toddy by incorporating jasmine green tea and blending other warming ingredients like whiskey, lemon, cinnamon, clove and torched star anise. Find it on the current fall menu for $12. Order online here." - Megha McSwain
