    Our favorite restaurant in Houston! They put so much effort into your experience and the food and you can tell as soon as you enter the restaurant all the way until you leave. We’ve been multiple times and every time we go it’s delicious.

    We had read previous reviews that were not so great but decided to give this place a chance to see if things had improved. Taylor was very instrumental in a 5 star review. Seems like all issues have been resolved and we fully enjoyed the dining experience.

    The food is the best sushi in America. I go to restaurants in NY, LA, Vegas, Miami. This is the best sushi in the country. The dishes are creative and prepared like you would find at a Michelin-star restaurant. I have gone here for Christmas, New Years Eve, Anniversary, Birthday over the years. Always a great. Not inexpensive, but worth every dollar for the quality. Drinks are creative. If you are z champagne drinker they even have my favorite, Ruinart. The only opportunity was we brought a baby and a little tough for seating choices. But we were fine and the baby didn't make a peep. Eat, enjoy, celebrate.
