    Staff was friendly from start to finish. We ordered crudos and handrolls, and I appreciated that the menu wasn’t overwhelming, which made ordering easy. The sake selection was nice as well. Every handroll was fresh and flavored just right. We didn’t have a single bad dish and will definitely be back. Thank you to all the wonderful staff!

    By far, some of the best sushi in Houston. Roasted shishitos were delicious. Sushi choices were extensive and unique. Treated to champagne for son’s birthday. We ordered two desserts and they brought him mochi balls for his bday as well. They were all fantastic. Cocktails were unique as well. Wait staff were very attentive clearing used plates as soon as we finished. Lovely decor. I already want to go back and try more.
