Keisha HighJuly 1, 2018My absolute favorite sushi spot in Houston! Sometimes their is a wait on weekends nights. The dishes are served beautifully and I enjoy the reverse happy hour!
Upvote1Downvote- Great, fun atmosphere! It's small inside so there is usually a wait at peak hours, but it's worth it. I love that they have reverse happy hour starting at 9 and all day Saturday & Sunday!UpvoteDownvote

Angela LeeJanuary 22, 2020I tried some sushi and ramen. The sushi is better. But price is a little pricey during normal hours. Not too expensive though.
