I recently had the pleasure of dining at this Japanese restaurant that opened about a year ago in houston and I genuinely can’t express how incredible the experience was. From the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable , the staff was attentive, warm, and truly made us feel welcome. The atmosphere was serene and beautifully curated, creating the perfect setting for the meal. Now, onto the food: absolutely outstanding. Every dish was crafted with such care and precision, and the flavors were unforgettable. The combination — gourmet quality, perfectly balanced, and unlike anything I’ve tasted before. This is hands down one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates top-quality Japanese cuisine and flawless service.

Great food, atmosphere and service! Great place for a birthday, because it’s fancy, and they give you a free dessert - Japanese fluffy cheesecake! The food was good, portions are small - except the Chirashi is great with 18 pieces of fish, toro tartar was good - the bread, mushroom tops and tuna with a raw quail egg was tasty, presentation was beautiful , little crabs- too tiny, but tasty. We got the bone marrow too, and that didn’t disappoint- tasty! Their drinks were good too- I had a mocktail (, and my husband got a sake. Waitress was knowledgeable and nice! A drawback - parking- there is a middle section that is self park, but the rest are valet. We were lucky to find parking on the very crowded streets instead. Expensive experience, but it was good! Would come again for another milestone celebration!

Overall amazing experience. Ross was a very kind and helpful server. While overall a bit pricy for 2 people it was still a great meal. Would recommend the 10 piece nagiri and the wagyu

Delightful sushi / Japanese food experience. The service was exceptional, the fish was delicious and everything was prepared to perfection. The restaurant is quite large, with a nice sushi bar, a full bar with good seating and two main dining areas. Reservations are highly recommended. All the sushi/sashimi items were freshly prepared and superbly presented. The wagyu beef on hot rock was very good! The deserts were superb, with the shave ice one being made out of ice flown in from Japan The service was friendly and prompt, with a lot of good suggestions.

Five stars for a reason. Fresh and superior quality. Rotating innovations and one of the best sushi chefs in Houston. Must try: the shishito peppers, lux role, and the king crab Sando

Exceptional from start to finish! We went here on a Friday evening and did have reservations which I would highly recommend as this place fills up and for good reason. Everything from the wait staff to the decor was absolutely top-tier. The sushi was incredible and we tried several dishes and everything was excellent. Some of my favorites were the crab sandos and the chopped scallop nigiri. Highly recommend and can’t wait to go back, definitely one of the best sushi restaurants in Houston.

I just want to thank Alex G, our server. His customer service was impeccable. He was very knowledgeable and never pressured us into anything. We were blessed to have him. I’ll add that it was our wedding anniversary, and we had our 7-month-old with us. Alex was very accommodating, which was amazing that made it so easy to be there. It was our first time here, and I’ll definitely come back. The prices were fair, and the food was good !!! /G\ approved. Ask for Alex G

All the food was so rich and flavorful. The pork shu mai was so buttery and wonderfully fatty. The king crab sando was so rich with the bechamel sauce and garlic bread like taste. The toro tartar was so good with the mushrooms. The stone mushroom rice was just hearty and warming. All the rolls were so good- we got the sake chili roll and the lobster one. The apple bread pudding was to die for- so so so good
