Yoshi

★★★★☆ 4.2 (133)

"I visited here on Tuesday, October 18th, 2022 at 120pm. Yoshi was empty. It seemed that they were done with busy lunchtime. I ordered a sushi lunch with miso soup. The Miso soup was okay. Regarding sushi, to my surprise, it was excellent. I wanna write improvements. The chef constantly touched his mobile phone before cooking. I was not sure if he washed his hands. there were a lot of germs on the cell phone. Hope he washed his hands. When the chef or server uses the phone, please hide and use it.Overall, it was a small mom-and-pop restaurant, but i gave 5 stars."

"Amazing dishing and such helpful servers. The volcano roll is enormous and they light the mayonnaise on fire at your table on this roll.The crazy salmon roll spectacular the fish is super fresh the cream cheese definitely adds a nice touch to this item on the menu.The monkey brain outstanding! The spicy salmon on one side the avocado on the other side rolled up and fried with excellent sauces I believe in eel sauce and some other kind of sauce all over the top superb! And it's humongous just like all of the other roles definitely enough to share.The salmon dinner comes with sauteed vegetables and rice and soup and salad. After the rolls I couldn't even eat this part of the meal but the salmon was cooked nicely the vegetables were crispy and excellent the soup was a bit watered down as well as the dressing on the salad.The yellowtail sushi was exquisite there wasabi is not on the hot side so definitely get extra if you want to spice things up a little bit.Overall this place is an adorable small sushi spot tucked in the corner of the big shopping center you will enjoy if you have to wait a while to be seated the food is very much worth it enjoy"

"Not gonna lie, this wasn't our first choice but it ended up being a great choice. My wife and I ended up here on our anniversary after killens steak house was closed due to lack of electricity during the wind storms. We splurged and ordered appetizers, "sushi" not raw, and the hibachi platter that serves two or more, it came with lobster tails, scallops, steak, shrimp, the whole shabang. Probably not usually nice enough for anniversary dinner, but don't regret it at all. I do recommend they dim the lights for dinner. Great service, great food, fair prices."

Super Yummy Mongolian Stir-Fry and Sushi

★★★★☆ 3.9 (151) • $$

"This interactive place allows you to put as much spice and heat and ingredients as you can fit in the bowl. You start at the table where you make out your place card. Choose what kind of rice or noodles you want with your dish. Add your table number and name. Take the card and put on a tray at the serving line. Then take the bowl they gave u at the table and put proteins, spices, butter (if u want), egg and vegetable. What u put in the bowl is what they cook on the grill. Last stop before you turn in your tray is to pick sauce(s), my two favorite sauces are the Mongolian and Garlic. Then slide your tray to the grill folks.This would be great for vegetarians or carnivores alike, as you choose what you like. PS they had shrimp and calamari for protein choices the day I was there.When your food is done they will bring it to your table in a nice sized bowl and then you get to enjoy. My favorite is the teriayaki chicken with ginger powder, garlic powder, green onions, carrot, onion, celery, broccoli, bean sprouts and udon noodles. I put the Mongolian and garlic sauce on mine. It was yummy (pun intended). Oh, and the fortune cookies were nice and fresh (crisp and slightly sweet). Was a nice way to end the meal. The wait staff will also bring you drinks. They were pretty attentive the day my party of 9 was there. Some of my party also ordered 2 shaggy dogs and 1 order of cream cheese fried dumplings for the table. They said those were good. Tip: put egg on tray. You will need all the room in your bowl for meat and veggies. Also, it may take a couple of trips to this restaurant to get the right combo of spices, ingredients and sauces to get it just like you like. You can change it up til you get it perfect. Hope you enjoy!"

"One of our favorite Sushi places in the Houston area. We have bragged about it so much our daughter and her husband drove across town from Friendswood for a date nite here! Have The a cowboy roll for beef on your sushi and something different. Creamy Rock Shrimp is the best appetizer. Generous portions and cuts of Sushi for Nigiri or Sashimi style. You won't be disappointed."

Ploy Thai Cuisine

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (222) • $$

"A hop skip and a jump from the Woodlands Mall, it's easy to relax into this peacefully decorated spot. It's more than the relaxing soundtrack, and quiet patrons, it's moreso the spaciousness, inviting service, stress free parking (bonus of a suburban restaurant), and the prospect of authentic cuisine in the area that's not categorized as "American" or "Modern American" (ie every popular Woodlands restaurant).On our visit, I was unfortunately distracted from my zen bubble as soon as our food arrived. Although the food was presented beautifully, myself and my guest immediately noticed the tables (ours included) sat too far away from the booth seats for comfort. I get it- usually this is a minor thing, but the distance was pretty drastic, so much so that it made eating a chore. I'm not sure if this is every diners experience (being that I'm 4'11" with the arm span of someone my stature), but is imagine it effects a majority of diners, and while I love a good workout, it's not exactly my idea of a relaxing meal.Other than that, the meal was fine, the curry was comforting, but I'm still in search of a Thai Food joint that will knock my socks off. All is forgiven with amazing food! As always, I plan to give them another try in the future. I'll select a different dish and maybe a table instead of a booth. :)"

Airi Ramen

★★★★☆ 4.1 (35)

"I noticed Airi as I was stopping by next door at KF to get some work done. Soft opening of their restaurant. So thankful that I changed my plans to come here for lunch. The interior was crisp, clean, and modern. Really tasteful Japanese lanterns without being overdone. And an incredible mural depicting the street life within a Japanese urban area. I debated a bit with the menu (you wonder if a place that serves General Tao's chicken can produce some solid non-fusion food) but went with the waitress' recommendation to get the spicy miso ramen. The broth was beautifully rich and thick, with just the right amount of spice level that still allowed me to taste the rich textures of the meat. The pork belly was deliciously seasoned and amazingly tender. The soft boiled egg was perfect and the vegetables were fresh and crisp and added to an overall impressive ramen. There was nothing fusion about this dish at all- just honest to goodness, legit ramen."

FUJIYA RAMEN SUSHI BAR

★★★★☆ 4.3 (18)

"After a long day in the med-center we pulled off of 99 on our way back home and after some brief hemming and hawing, landed on Fujiya Ramen and sushi. It apparently used to be another Japanese restaurant at some point that changed. When we got inside we were promptly greeted and seated by a polite hostess/server. The restaurant is cute and clean, with some cool Japanese decorations and murals throughout (the koi mural near the restrooms is particularly cool) and even the little hand-written/drawn special cards at each table seem to have been created thoughtfully.We ordered drinks and a couple of appetizers to start. Sodas are free refills from a fountain so that was already a pretty big W as that is somewhat rare in these types of restaurants. We started with the gyoza and their Ninja Jalapeños. The gyoza were small but tasty, and as my 10 year old remarked "pan fried very well", and he was not wrong; they were nicely crisped on all the edges, evident of a good pan frying. The ninja jalapeños were also pretty tasty with a good helping of cream cheese and crab mixture on a sliced jalapeno that is then tempura battered and fried, with a drizzling of spicy mayo. So far we're all pleasantly surprised with our visit.For our entrees, i ordered the spicy curry miso ramen (my son ordered the same), I got a side of fried rice and my wife got the lo mein. The spicy curry miso ramen comes with a katsu chicken cutlet on the side with some dipping sauce which was pretty cool. The chicken was pounded out thin and crispy fried and went well with the dipping sauce (no clue what the sauce was). The ramen was carefully prepared as you could tell from the way each ingredient was perched atop the next, the broth was exactly what was advertised: a creamy, curry flavored broth full of flavor, with noodles, mushrooms, corn and a few other accoutrements. The side of fried rice I got was some of the best fried rice I've had in a while. Definitely freshly made fried rice, not just sitting in a giant vat; this rice was light and fluffy and full of flavor with some chicken and veggies laced throughout. I will get a larger order of the fried rice next time. The wife was very happy with her lo mein as well which had a nice tasty sauce without being too heavy or sweet, with al dente noodles and a variety of meat.Our server made sure our drinks were full and that we didn't go without anything, but without being overbearing. When I asked about dessert she suggested the not-on-the-menu fried Oreo, which we ended up getting and it was 4 perfectly fried, gooey, chocolatey cookies served with a chocolate mochi in the center. This place really surprised us, I expected an average, dime a dozen ramen bar but you can tell they really take pride in their craft here and are working hard to stand out from the rest. Definitely give them a shot when you're in the area!**spotless bathrooms also**"

★★★★☆ 3.6 (191) • $$

"We've been here quite a few times now but this weekend was the best experience we've had. Our server, Melanie, was very friendly and welcoming. Merry began with calamari that was very crisp, tender and a little spicy. The kids had miso soup and Philadelphia rolls. Both were tasty and fresh. My 8 year old called his roll perfect. They also tried a Japanese soda that was new to us; it was fun and tasty for them. My husband had The Crazy Irishman roll and it was SO good. As someone who doesn't generally even like fried oysters, I'd order it myself! (Fried oysters being a main ingredient) I tried the In the Navy roll. I stepped outside my normAnd tried this roll that has 2 types of fish on top. I wasn't sure what to expect but it was amazing. It was so fresh with a great balance of flavors. The restaurant is clean and comfortable. The people are friendly and the food is great!"

Blue Sushi Sake Grill

★★★★☆ 4 (315) • $$

"Reasonably priced sushi with a great vegan menu. If you visit during happy hour you will also get discounted sushi! We tried quite a few options and each one was delicious. From most to least favorite: Shiitake to me: This was our favorite dish and we loved the crispy flavor added to the mushrooms. Cowgirl: This was the most unique dish we had, it has a smoky flavor to it and is also crispy Green Goddess: the ponzu sauce is delicious! Thai Hippie and Unami Maki were also tasty but didn't have as much of a unique spin to them. Tuna Tower - comes with fake meat tuna on a bed of rice that you have to mix to eat. The sauce it comes with is delicious!Overall we would definitely return."

Mafia Sushi

★★★★★ 4.7 (135) • $$

"Chill spot in Katy, got seated immediately. Lychee martini was to die for. My friend got the mango martini she loved it. I got the mafia role which was amazing, a bit saucy but delish. The spicy girl was a 6 piece roll I actually loved the crunch of it. A bit spicy but I would def order that again.Parking is free, I will be back.- they also have karaoke outside I don't know which days"

Fuji Steak House & Sushi

"We've been here 5-6 times. Each time it's gotten better. Friendly service, delicious food. Lunch hibachi specials start at $7.99, 7 days a week Was told by waitress today that in December lunch special prices will be available all day/night. Great time to try it. The only reason I don't give 5 stars is they do a few things at lunch to save $, like no bowls for fried rice and had to ask for ginger sauce."

Rattan Pan-Asian Bistro

★★★★☆ 3.9 (352) • $$

"This is a cute place from the outside as well as the inside. Our server was very attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and patient with my indecisiveness. I opted for the two roll lunch special which came with a choice of miso soup or salad and a choice of two different desserts. I wasn't particularly excited about the miso soup, perhaps I should have had the salad. My friend ordered some dumplings which were pretty good. In fact I ended up using the dumpling sauce instead of soy sauce for my sushi. The sushi was good. The dessert was great. It's hard to get lunch for $16, especially when that includes a little dessert. I would probably go for the salad next time. It was very quiet at lunch time. Perhaps that's why they're not open for lunch everyday so be sure to check the schedule!"

Miyabi Sushi

★★★★★ 4.5 (323) • $$

"Though the reviews indicate that this restaurant is known for its sushi, we went there in search of ramen, and were not disappointed in our find.We ordered the spicy miso ramen, the spicy tonkatsu ramen, and the steak ramen with extra garlic. Also, edamame for an appetizer.The service was quick and friendly. We were there about an hour before closing, and it was almost empty. The location of the restaurant is such that I had never seen it before, even having driven past it more than a few times. This may account for the small number of customers we saw, or it could have just been a strange time - 8 PM on a Sunday night.I will be going back soon to try their sushi!"

"We have passed this place in several occasions and relieved we have to stop in. First, the ambience was a nice trendy setting reminds you of some of those places you see on TV as far as a ramen shop or not back at sushi shop service was excellent wasn't very crowded. We had about two people waiting on us starting off with the takoyaki I have to admit I really like takoyaki there's was excellent your sauce paired with the mayo was excellent and the movable flakes made it almost like you were sit in a coffee shop in Japan, I also had the colorful sushi dish that you see excellent with real caviar on top, each taste bursting with wasabi and fresh ginger on the side excellent pairing recommend this place for anybody and the price is very economical!"

Papa Yu

★★★★☆ 4.4 (291) • $$

"Pork katsu has like an Chinese style boiled egg and some beans rather than the omelette type egg advertised. Also it had sauce on it unlike the picture on their website when you order online. It was still good. Just different than what o thought I was ordering. Homeless guy came in asking everyone for money. Including the staff. I didn't feel safe there with my kid. So we won't be back. This was on at lunch on a Sunday too."

Miyazaki

★★★★☆ 4.3 (316)

"Maybe it's because I ordered take out and had it 30-45 minutes afterwards. I was thrown off by the boxed used for take out as in used to seeing sushi to go boxes - flat and clear lids. This was not environmentally friendly but anyways to move into the food. The rice to filling ratio was off. There should be less rice. The rice itself was overcooked with too much water resulting in a mushy taste. The eel sauce wasn't too die for per usual. The salmon was funky. I can't explain why. It had such an off taste. My sushi craving was not fulfilled. I guess this is another reason to fly back to Japan for another round of fish. With that being said, I understand it's hard to compare my frequent sushi adventures in Japan to a sushi shop in the US but I found some really good local not fancy sushi shops in all neighborhoods of nyc so it's doable. Unfortunately, I really do hate to write bad reviews because I am a big supporter of mom and pop shops but I finally decided to give sushi a shot in Texas and had a disappointing experience.Glad to know others had a better experience."

Toki Sushi Ramen

★★★★★ 4.8 (44)

"I really loved this place. Mostly because there weren't a lot of people. So peaceful. They have combo meals that I haven't seen at many places. Love the idea. You choose 3 rolls (I chose the tiger roll, Houston roll and crazy roll roll), one soup, and one salad. Fresh, tasty, and all around enjoyed my meal here. I was one of the only people in this restaurant, but there were a lot of people picking up. (Great sign) service was welcoming and helpful. Will definitely be back again for dinner! 3 roll combo was $17.65. Way cheaper than getting one roll each. Typically, one roll can be anywhere from $8-$9 a roll in any sushi restaurant. Definitely worth the visit!"

Tobiuo Sushi & Bar

★★★★☆ 4.4 (467) • $$

"We requested Andy to be our server again, and as always he was amazing. We received top tier service, and will continue to request him as our server as long as he works here.The food was delicious. Fish was fresh and high quality, and the hot dishes hit the spot. Everything was great except for the Foie Gras. Instead of being paired with a berry compote, it was served on toast with peanut butter and oh man... talk about about let down. The consistency of the peanut butter ruins it, and there's nothing to cut the heaviness of the Foie Gras and the PB. I had bragged to my family that it was the most delicious dish on the menu, and after we tried it I received side-eye. Quite frankly, I was devastated. I grieve the loss of the star dish I had many times before. I hope that the seasonal pairings get better next time."

"Fantastic sushi! I still can't decide if I like the Warrior or the Samurai roll better, but both are amazing. And super important- they are consistently good!! Sometimes their edamame is undercooked a bit, but the sushi just makes up for it. Before this place, I didn't think I enjoyed Yellowtail, but the Warrior roll has it and my husband ordered just the Spicy Yellowtail today and it's so good! Their fish just taste so fresh and delicate- I love it!"

We came here for my sons go-to as he wanted to try some sushi. This is pretty close to our house, so we figured let's try it. Fresh sushi, great atmosphere and the quality was very good. We will make sure to come back as we did enjoy the food."

Aiko

★★★★★ 4.5 (206)

"My recent food obsession has been omakase sushi. So hopefully you'll continue seeing more reviews around town.My wife and I are finally at a point where we feel comfortable leaving the twins at home and having periodic date nights.On this particular night we ended up at Aiko. They advertise their omakase for happy hour with a $10 discount at $45 per person. We sat at a table instead of the bar, so we did not get a chance to interact with the chefs, I do miss that aspect of omakase. So I'll state that yes it is chefs choice but it's more of a combo, comes with certain pieces but it comes out all at once and with not much discretion besides what is on the sheet. However, my wife and I don't mind as we really do most of our judgement via the actual taste.This omakase was solid value but we really only got exposed to one new fish that we wouldn't normally order, the Masu/ocean trout. This was delicious! And I will continue looking for this at other restaurants. We ordered additional items from both their happy hour menu and their normal menu since the omakase is smaller than other places. I did notice that they did offer Engawa on a limited basis, sadly they were out on this particular night.We added on fatty tuna, uni, and froi gras. The froi gras was one of the best pieces I have had at any restaurant and I can't wait to come back just for that alone!The service was very attentive and the pieces came out at a good pace. I didn't feel overwhelmed but I was not waiting around."

Tamashi Ramen Sushi

"Came here for their thanksgiving eve special and it didn't disappoint. This shop is about standard size compared to the others and the flavors are on par to Holcombe location. I got the tamashi menn as always and the soup was very flavorful and the chashu was tender. Also got to try their sushi - it was okay, nothing to write home about. Their ramen is definitely stronger and more unique. I'll definitely return if craving ramen in this area!"

Sam Ramen

★★★★☆ 4.2 (48)

"Love coming here , but we came at 9:15 pm...they close at 10:05 and they said they were doing to go orders only. So thought it would be important to share. No sign posted anywhere, but if that's going to be their business practice then they need to post it somewhere. Other than that never have an issue coming here. Food is delicious, it's kept clean, and staff is normally very nice."

Soto

★★★★☆ 4.2 (235) • $$$

"Soto was a gem of a find for me and will become my go to sushi restaurant in Houston. I was in the midtown area and was advised by a friend to check it out so we got here at around 8:30 on a Wednesday. The parking lot is small and they do have valet but they work for tips so that wasn't too bad. We walked in, got seated immediately in the back corner (at my request). The restaurant had lambent lighting which was perfect and the atmosphere was just right. Our waiter came over and provided us with a vegan/vegetarian menu. We got several bites for the table such as the lightly Battered Served w/Tentsuyu and vegetable tempura as an appetizer, Chili Yasai and Kinoko Truffle for our rolls. Everything was fresh and came out relatively timely with the exception of the Chili Yasai. That took a while to come to the table. Everything was good, and the desserts topped it off for me. The passionfruit tart is a must have!!! I enjoyed the experience and our waiter was excellent. Shoutout to him for also pronouncing my last name right upon first try :)"

Catch of the Day Seafood

★★★★☆ 3.8 (162) • $$

"This casual seafood restaurant has been around for about 15 years now. It's located on Jones Road and has plenty of parking room out front. Inside it is rather plain decor wise with some tables and booths and does offer table service.Recently I have dined twice. The first visit was for a shrimp po boy for $9.95 and it took about 10 minutes to arrive along with french fries. I enjoyed this meal and while the fries were not homemade they were hot and seasoned. The po boy had several nice sized fried shrimp in it along with being dressed on a good bun. It was very good taste wise and I will order this again. Also, on another visit I had the chefs special of blackened red fish with étouffée on top. It came with roasted potatoes, white rice and some garlic bread for $16.95. The fish filet was generous in size and along with the étouffée and sides tasted very good and was a filling meal. During both meals table service was good.I like this restaurant. Nothing fancy here at all but it does serves good tasting seafood meals at very reasonable prices."

The Blue Fish - Houston

"We have visited The Blue Fish - Houston many many times and at all their previous locations. It has definitely been my favorite sushi restaurant since I was a kid. Most recently we dined on:- Crab/Ahi tuna tower (ask for the Wonton crisps)- Salmon and Tuna tartare on crispy rice cakes - Mega lobster roll - 121 Roll- Volcano roll If you are in the area, have the time to sample some of their delicious sushi... I recommend you give them a try."

KUU Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.1 (655) • $$$

"I was looking for somewhere to go for happy hour and I found this place nearby. They have soooo many delicious options for HH. We got 3 different rolls, 2 orders of Ube chips, calamari, edemane, tuna tartare, spicy shrimp, lychee martini, and a Ube soufflé. The tuna tartare was to die for. I mean really, cooked to perfection. The best thing I had tonight. My lychee Martini was nice and smooth. Def felt a tipsy 30 minutes later haha! The service was also very very good. Forgot the bartenders name but she was very kind & patient with us! Also, the restaurant is very pretty as well.The only thing I disliked was the Ube soufflé. I love Ube and it caught my attention when I saw it on the menu. The bartender did mention it would take 30 minutes to make but I def don't think it was worth the wait. But other than that everything was great. I would definitely recommend this place to others!"

Segreto Lounge

★★★★★ 4.5 (17)

"I learned about Segreto when I ate at Lombardi's grand opening. Segreto means secret in Italian and this is a hidden/secret speakeasy bar that is connected to Lombardi. You can enter Segreto two ways. From the right side of Lombardi or some VIPs are taken through the kitchen. The ambiance curates the sexiest vibe and will make you surrender to Segreto's enchantment. They have live music going all night long, upscale dress code to honor as they want you to dress for the experience you would like to have. They have exquisite sashimi and caviar that pairs perfect with their meticulously hand crafted cocktails. I had 7 pink dragons and two shots casa migos. Which is why you see me laying on the concrete after I left Lol.A good time was definitely had here! Going back is a must. This time I will stick to a two drink maximum. Lol"

Poke Man

★★★★☆ 4.3 (99) • $$

"Why 4 stars? Because this is a solid option when a poke bowl is what you're craving. --- --- ---I've had Poke Man bookmarked for a long time and finally stopped in. I initially bookmarked it because I saw that they had sushi burritos, but when I actually visited, I was craving a bowl more than a burrito.I custom built my bowl with all the fixins and was content with it. Was it the most amazing poke bowl I've ever had? No, but it hit the spot with what I was looking for.I also added Gyoza to my order and thought those were very good, as was the mango boba tea, which seemed to be made from real mango, rather than just artificial flavoring. Also, I'll add that the person working here could not have been more friendly and welcoming!The biggest gripe for us was that the plastic spork was really not great for poke consumption. It was just a bit too flimsy to really get much substance when diving in to a jam packed bowl of goodness. This would easily be solved with an upgrade to the plastic cutlery, so not a big problem to overcome.Next time: sushi burritos will be had."
