Tins

Omakase. Chefs Sky and Adam. Cold junmai sake. Make a reservation and go. You'll find yourself relaxing and having a great time in a small, non de script, intimate space.You won't find a menu and you won't find prices. That's the experience. Omakase is chef's choice premium courses--for those that don't know. If you're looking for quality sushi on par with Kata or Uchi, but don't want the hustle and bustle, go see Chef Sky. He will take care of you and show you some new tricks and flavor combinations.

My fiancé and I had a phenomenal experience at TINS with a 14-course innovative spin on traditional sushi omakase, free flowing sake (for the duration of the food service), and excellent company. It was so much fun, the fish is fresh, they get it flown in right before service. The setting is pretty intimate and each course is so thoughtfully curated.The best part is hands down the service and love from the owners Sky, Matthew, and Adam. They are a master of their craft and make each guest feel so welcomed. They make the omakase experience incredibly fun and energetic. We came for the food but stayed for the people! You leave feeling like you made a new friendship!

Very intimate dining experience to say the least! It actually took some time to even find this hidden gem. TINS completely exceeded my expectations from the ambiance to the amazing food. The omakase provides 14 courses with each bite better than the last! Each bite of fish was just so fresh and flavorful. The chefs really come up with the most unique and delicious sauces for each dish. The service is also impeccable. Overall, I had a fantastic time at this spot. The food was out of this world, and the drinks just kept coming. I can't wait to give them another try in the future!

First and foremost, I would like to welcome these boys to Houston. 3 wild, longtime friends from NYC, Adam, Matthew, and Sky are the owners of "Tins," who is currently running their soft opening. I'll honest and say that not only was I thoroughly impressed with their food but was able to enjoy one of the best nights of my life as a foodie and customer. Sky and Matt, namely, really are two of the most hospitable humans and to miss out eating at Tins is to miss out on such friendly and amazing service. Our brothers did fall short on delivering rice I feel would be most appropriate for sushi (a little too soft), but the flavor and seasoning was still very much present in each bite. Sky did promise they're working out the kinks and that they were still getting used to the operation of their new equipment. Understandable for just opening up a few days ago. I think what really sells this place to me is how humble the chefs are. Not only are they accommodating but they openly and humbly accept criticism and feedback. Their kindness matches how loose their pours for drinks is and makes for an amazing time.For the area, an omakase sitting at their asking price doesn't seem unreasonable and typical for services at this caliber, and I definitely felt this night's experience was worth every penny. Expect fun times, an amazing cheerful atmosphere, plenty of engagement and conversation, and lots of smoke, drinks, and laughs. Match the vibe well enough and maybe you too will become their next karaoke star!I can't wait to see what Tins becomes, and the boys can expect the wife and I to be back to support them.

The Houston sushi scene is getting more fierce each year and a new contender has arrived. Tins is a small intimate, Omakase run by three friends who are very friendly, open and receptive to feedback, and seems like they really wanted to grow and add some thing unique and different to the Houston sushi scene.While the food and drinks were delicious, the company was one of the best parts and one of the most unique and enjoyable parts of the restaurant experience. As far as food goes, you can expect unlimited sake, unique sushi and toppings marrying different cultures and flavors (delicious), and feeling full by the end of dinner.I'm very excited to see where Tins will go and I hope everyone gets a chance to try this place!

I really enjoyed the Omakase course at TINS. My husband and I love every dishes that was offered to us. Mathew and Adam were great at what they do and we truly enjoy the experience and the company. The ambience is very cozy. And last but not least, it's unlimited sake! The restaurant only takes reservations. There's limited seat for each session. You'll be asked to take a seat when you come in. When the chef is ready, you'll be invited to the bar. This is a definitely a must try for sushi lover. Be prepared to spend a lot of money.

I was craving for some omakase, so I came there with a friend on a Friday night, I gotta say that we have a blast! We had a 14 course experience which costs $150 including unlimited sake which is not bad for a price! We enjoyed every dish in a course because it was so good!The service here gave us one of the best omakase experiences ever! I loved how we get to stay after to relax on the lounge or sing karaoke with the chefs! I highly recommend visit Tins for a great experience but you need to reserve your table in Opentable!

TINS (This Is Not Sushi), a new speakeasy Omakase in The Heights!! The reason for the name is because Chef Sky puts a twist on his version of Omakase by adding unique flavors (original Omakase does not add sauces so you can taste the fish). They just opened in Sept! They brought their culinary passion from New York! The food was FABULOUS! Such unique flavors and oh sooo FRESH!! It's $150/pp for 14 courses and unlimited Sake!! Definitely one of the best experiences!

WOW, consider me incredibly impressed by this sushi omakase. My boyfriend and I came here for our 3 year anniversary and it was one of the best experiences we've had with fine dining. The appetizers were my favorite and each piece overall tasted amazing. Every dish was clearly well thought out and you can tell the chef took time with each ingredient. Chef Sky was so attentive and it was like he could read my mind whenever I was getting a little impatient haha. Both Chef Sky and Matthew were so great and welcoming. Matthew let me use his light for pictures, which I was so grateful for. I took a picture of each course and will put in the caption what I remember for the name of each dish. One of my absolute favorites that blew my mind was the uni shooter. Normally, I cannot take oyster shooters or uni shooters, but this one melted in my mouth and tasted SO good. Lastly, we ended the night with karaoke that included Chef Sky and Matthew joining in, which was super fun!!! I wanted to take my little brother and his girlfriend here, but unfortunately we were hit with the storm. Nevertheless, Tins is the first place I will keep in mind for special events--the karaoke makes this establishment top notch on top of all the amazing tasting fresh fish dishes. We will be seeing Chef Sky and Adam very soon!!

Reserve a spot now! I have to say I was skeptical when we arrived at TINS. It is in a small strip of businesses behind tinted doors. But when you step inside, you are transported into a well appointed, intimate dining scene. My husband and I love sushi and we were not disappointed. The team is outstanding and made for a lively evening with delicious and thoughtfully prepared bites of the freshest fish. I hope we are still able to get a reservation here the next time we're in town.
