    why not try something more adventurous? There's New Zealand red snapper, yellow tail belly, sea urchin and flying fish roe, to name just a few. And don't forget the specialty rolls!

    The menu is more of a Franco-Japanese hybrid with special emphasis on modernizing traditional dishes: see the Hokkaido-style ramen with Berkshire pork or the Akaushi short ribs served in small bites. Read more

    They are about the rolls! Every single one we tried was delicious: red devil, mermaid something, crazy irishman, tuna truffle and a few more I can't remember the name.

    Quality ingredients, artfully arranged, simple and savory flavors. The ramen and teriyaki are as good as the sushi.

    If you're not feeling sushi, try one of the ramens! Spicy Miso Ramen or the Tsukemen! All day HH on Sundays.

    Using the sous vide method, the spirits are infused on site. Try a chili margarita or the spicy Bloody Buddy. The miso soup is one of the best in town.

    The wasabi lovertini is amazing if you love cocktails with a kick and very little sweetness. They also have a very awesome happy hour!

    The food is over priced for the quality. ordered tempura veggies & it was greasy. told the waitress she replied "well it is deep fried". deep fried doesn't mean greasy. There are better sushi places!

    A little overpriced, but great atmosphere & crazy Irish-man roll was really good! They don't split checks for groups tho.

    Great atmosphere. Food is good but not as much as Uptown Sushi. Typical flare. Sushi rice is not packed as they should. Come just for a date or meeting with friends.

    Why do people say this is the best sushi in Houston??? Please cite dish or explanation for the rating sans decor or hipster crowd as supporting evidence.

    Going out on Wash afterwards? So much easier to ask the hostess to call a cab while you finish your meal/drink rather than wait on Wash to catch one yourself!

    The manager was extremely rude to me and my friend. I never raise my voice and I'm always polite but when we asked about a coupon he became really loud and upset that we asked about it. Extremely rude
