    Sashimi
    Christine D.

    Unfortunately the sushi made my tummy hurt. None of the sashimi was served on ice which may have been the problem but unsure. Originally we were told we could only order 5 pieces of sashimi per round for the entire table. Then we were told it was 5 pieces per type of sashimi per round for the table. Not sure if the number changes with the number of people, but as a table of 3 this was the rule. Rolls were fine. Their ice cream is basically the ice cream cups you get in school.

    I will say I've had better ayce sushi, but the variety on the menu here was the one thing that I liked. Especially with all the new places opening up in Houston, I'm not sure that I would come back here. While the food was ok (it didn't taste bad or anything), I got a really bad stomach ache after eating the food, and I don't know if I felt like the fish was the best quality in terms of freshness. Also, one of my rolls had a piece of a barcode sticker on it. I was told it was from an avocado, but that's never happened to me elsewhere. I really appreciated the ambiance and liked how modern and aesthetically pleasing it was inside. Also, I will say our server was 10/10 - super kind and attentive and would keep checking on us, which was really nice.

    POKE SALAD

    My first review of 2026 goes to Aokicho, which I had the pleasure of dining at during the first weekend of the new year. It was recommended to me by an Uber driver recently. And, boy, was she right about it. Anyone who has eaten at Ohayo and Sushi Moshi is likely to enjoy this fairly new culinary gem not too far from League City's South Shore area. I swung by during the Sunday afternoon lull. Getting a table wasn't that difficult. A friendly waiter then introduced himself, handed me a tablet, and explained the ordering process. So far, so good. Selection wise, I'd say that Aokicho tends to have a little more. Plus, there were some items that you wouldn't find at either Ohayo or Sushi Moshi. The way I order at AYCE sushi places is I always go for the starters and appetizers first. Aokicho's tataki selection is in the neighborhood of top notch. Its poke salad isn't only delicious, but an amazing sight to behold. The kitchen staff put lots of effort to assemble it. I then helped myself to some fried rice, gyoza, and hibachi and teriyaki entrees as I would at the other two places. While the items came in small portions, they were enough to make me stuffed. So much as that I was only able to manage just two orders of sushi. With Aokicho, sushi lovers in the Clear Lake/NASA area have another option. It's a bit of a ways from 45 so it could be a quite a drive for most people, but it's worth it once you get here.

    Decor

    We went during their 3rd day soft opening and upon entering, their decor is so beautiful. Very upscale and modern vibes. The thought and details they put into decorations really stood out to me. The service was great as well. Ash and Jacob were attentive and checked on us frequently to see if everything is okay. Super friendly and easy going. The food here is awesome. The fishes were fresh. I love that they had mini chirashi and poke bowl options for when youre craving the rice and fish combo. I really love their tonkatsu broth! It was truly rich and bold without it being too salty. I haven't had the opportunity to order any specialty rolls this visit since I got full way too early but that will be an updated review for next time. My husband said that he loves the portion sizes. His favorites were the appetizers such as the edamame, chicken wings, and the robata skewers. My son really loves their salmon hibachi and the cheese puffs! I liked almost everything I ordered, however some of the sushi appetizers could be a bit too salty with too much fried garlic. Overall, this place has a lot of potential. A solid 4.5 stars! We cant wait to come back when they have their grand opening!

    Texan roll spicy, soo good ordered two.

    This place is the best all you can eat I have ever been to. The food was delicious and the Kyoto roll is the best roll along with the shrimp tempura. The service was amazing and the server was very nice. The music was nice and the place looks amazing inside. Definitely recommend going here.

    Everything was delicious Server was great and very informative! Ambiance was really good as well. Very clear

    Food: 4.5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Food- I'm genuinely surprised. Went back here after being convinced to give it another shot. Maybe it is just the dishes I ordered this time, but I enjoyed every single order that our table got: Philadelphia Roll: Really plump with fish and avocado. Really nice texture. Steak Fried Rice: Nice flavor, would like a little more meat but ordering a robata or hibachi steak is a good addition Beef Robata: A little sweet for me personally, I think I enjoy the hibachi more personally, but there's a nice crunch to the robata. Gyoza: Pretty basic in general, with minimal vegetable filling and being more on the hard rather than crunchy side. Salmon Mango: Good palate cleanser, nice sweetness in the mango adds to the relatively clean flavor of the salmon. Poke Bowl: Filled to the brim with salmon, tuna, squid salad and seaweed salad. Vinegar rice is a little strong. Sky Diver Roll: A lot happening on this roll, but somehow really comes together for a nice bite. Salmon Nigiri: Covered in soy sauce nikiri style. Not personally how I would like it, but my previous assumption about it covering up the freshness of the fish was wrong. Super clean. Spider Roll: Not too much happening special, but spider roll isn't my jam usually anyway. Tonkotsu Ramen: A little one note, but filled with different ingredients that really make it come together. Fried Bao: So warm and crunchy. Goes perfectly with the condensed milk on the side. Good dessert replacement. Steak Hibachi: Very tender and tasty. No notes. Service- Aokicho has adopted the tablet ordering system that many other AYCE restaurants have, and its improved the flow of the meal a lot more. Waiters and servers both really kind. Ambiance- Not much more to add here. The place is still really nice with really cute table and plate design. Yeah. This place is now a banger. I've never experienced such a drastic improvement of a restaurant and my experience in years. Might just be the day, but it is so much better. Coming back soon, Aokicho! Thank you for such a surprise of a meal.

    Loved this AYCE sushi! Our server very attentive and everything came out pretty quickly. Ambiance is very nice - you don't feel like you're eating at da club like at other sushi places!

    Hand rolls- Holiday Roll,  Phoenix Roll Yummy Roll

    First visit at this new AYCE sushi place. We were headed to Sushi Moshi but saw they aren't a BAFL member anymore. There is only one price here, Dinner, at least when we went which was a Sunday at 1pm, so it is more expensive than Sushi Moshi BUT the choices include beef (yes even Kobe beef) and just more selections overall. I saw later someone in a review got a lunch price so maybe that is during the week? If its like Sushi Moshi you dont get those beef selections on the lunch menu and a few less options overall. For my husband the dinner was best option anyway. Place is clean and modern in decor. We were greeted, seated and served promptly. Cody was our server and saw hes had good feedback on other reviews. We agree. He is friendly, attentive and professional! We ate alot. My husband who doesnt care for sushi had the gyoza, cheesepuffs, kobe beef, grilled chicken and beef skewers, udon noodles, pineapple fried rice, coconut shrimp, tempura chicken and shrimp and possibly more I lost track of. I had seaweed salad, gyoza, spicy edamame, some of hubs cheesepuffs and coconut shrimp, shrimp tempura, poke bowl, three handrolls, salmon and tuna sashimi and salmon and tuna sushi. We had to tap about before i could order any rolls but nice selection of those and hibachi and terryaki. Ice cream options for dessert. Everything was fresh! Nice presentation and the serving sizes are perfect so you can try several things. Even hubs who doesnt love this cuisine said we would definitely do again! I would return for lunch as I eat the seafood primarily so dinner price isn't worth it for me.

    Beautiful Bar! Awesome service! Presentation and food was delectable! I will definitely be back!

    We stopped by on Day 2 of their soft opening--I've been waiting for this place to open, so it was a pleasant surprise to see it finally up and running. Still not sure when the official grand opening is, but we were excited to give it a try. The decor is super cute, bright, and clean. They even have those fun claw machines up front, which adds a playful touch and keeps the kids entertained. One of the coolest parts is that you can actually watch the chefs making your sushi right behind the counter--always a good sign of freshness and quality. It's an all-you-can-eat buffet with separate pricing for lunch and dinner (dinner is a bit more expensive). On weekends, it's dinner pricing all day. If all you can eat isn't your thing, they also offer a takeout menu, which is a great alternative. I had the Holiday Roll and it was delicious--fresh, clean, and well-prepared. Everything we tried was really good, and even my kids enjoyed everything they ordered, which doesn't always happen! The staff was very attentive and patient, which we appreciated. They're clearly still working out a few soft-opening kinks, but that's totally expected at this stage.

When asked if we wanted a booth or a table, I was inclined to sit at a booth, but I noticed the booth seats were worn and cracking with age. Since we were there for dining, I can't comment on the ambiance of the hibachi section. The country music detracted from the mood. It didn't fit the restaurant theme. Our server was very knowledgeable and helpful. He was pleasant and did a great job. We both ordered off the lunch menu. I had the Sashimi Lunch and Mark had Pad Thai. We both opted for onion soup vs. miso soup. The onion soup was delicious and a nice change from miso soup. The broth seemed less salty and the flavor was light. It was very good. My salad was fresh, cold and crunchy. The dressing was good, but the salad was overdressed. By the time I neared the bottom of the bowl, it looked like lettuce soup. Still... it was quite tasty. We ordered Shrimp Shumai and while they were teeny, they were very good. I recommend! My lunch consisted of four different fish with a total of nine pieces of sashimi - 2 tuna, 3 salmon, 2 escolar and 2 of another fish that was gray in color. The sashimi was a big letdown. None of the fish caused me to lean back and make yummy sounds. The salmon was a bit stringy, if you will. It did not melt in my mouth. The tuna, which is usually my least favorite was actually okay. The gray fish, which were large pieces, were grainy and had little discernible flavor. The escolar was the most flavorful, with a nice mouthfeel. No heat level was offered for the Pad Thai. Mark said it was bland. When I asked how it was and he said, '"okay...", I was not convinced. A big pile of large cut green peppers were left on his plate when he finished. We won't be putting Kabuki Japanese Grill & Sushi Bar into our restaurant rotation.

To summarize my review before it begins, Masa is now my destination if I am craving sushi and Japanese food. The atmosphere was elegant, which makes it stand out from other surrounding sushi restaurants. We started off with cold sake and Ahi Poké Nachos, which were crispy and delicious. My friend and I split Sushi Combo C, which features 20 pieces of assorted sushi with California and Spicy Tuna rolls. The sushi was very fresh and skillfully made. The Tamago was freshly made with the traditional chopstick method. This was the best sushi I have had since I dined at Nobu in Las Vegas. Our companions had the chicken katsu Bento Boxes because they wanted an assortment of things to try. The tempura battered shrimp and vegetables were lightly crunchy and delicate. After dinner, the four of us had a round of Ninja Drop martinis, which were tangy and sweet. The owner, Michael Zhou (pronounced "zjoe"), came over to say hi. He encouraged us to try one of his favorite items, the Ahi Tuna Tartare, which was spectacular. To finish, we had a couple of bottles of hot sake alongside some yummy mochi ice cream. Our experience was amazing. Our server, Jordan, took great care of us, and we all had a great time. I was looking for an elevated experience, and I got exactly what I was looking for and more.

    Food: 4.6/5 Service: 4/5…read moreAmbiance: 4.5/5 Overall: 4.5/5 Even after being to (almost) all of the big AYCE sushi places in this area, Ohayo Sushi is probably still my favorite. Overall, it maintains the best quality from dish to dish and rarely fails to disappoint quality wise (obviously it won't be like a la carte quality, but it is lowkey close). I think their weakest aspect in restaurant quality is actually the service. I do like the use of the iPads to order, but sometimes there are just times where we won't get entire rounds of food until like 30 minutes later. Another issue I have is their soy sauce bottles, which have like a 50% chance to be sticky whenever you pick them up. Lastly, and this is with all the AYCEs, their fish is either a hit or miss on that particular day (personally, I like ordering just a few of each to try for fish quality before ordering like 30 the second round). Enough of the negatives, this is still really great. I love their steak hibachi, which is usually perfectly cooked and tender, offsetting the flavor of sushi after a few rounds. The salmon and fish roe are so addicting and I like enjoying them with the squid, seaweed, and crab salads. The soups are all pretty good and none of them have an off-putting flavor. All of their specialty rolls are so plump and filled. Another thing I like about this place is the ratios of ingredients in their specialty rolls. Other than the fried rolls, I feel as though there's always the perfect amount of rice and wrapper compared to the other ingredients, which is often hard to find in AYCE. This place just has their flavors down really well and is definitely the most well balanced and flushed out AYCE in this area.

    While I'm no stranger to Ohayo, this was my first visit since they introduced iPads for ordering…read more My dad and I arrived around 6:00 p.m. and were not surprised to see the restaurant completely packed. We were initially told the wait would be about 20 minutes, but it ended up being closer to an hour. Once we were finally seated, ordering through the iPad was simple and convenient. The sashimi and hibachi dishes arrived quickly, while the specialty rolls and fried items took considerably longer because of how busy the restaurant was. To get the most value out of an all-you-can-eat experience, I usually focus on ordering sashimi. My favorites were the salmon, yellowtail, and eel, all of which were fresh and enjoyable. The spicy scallop sushi was the standout of the entire meal and easily my favorite bite of the night. We ordered a wide variety of dishes, and that was the one I kept going back to. The steak hibachi was solid, with well-seasoned meat and generous portions. The fried oysters and crab rangoons were both crispy and cooked well without feeling overly greasy. The specialty rolls were good too. While none of them particularly stood out, they were all enjoyable and well made. Overall, there was not a single dish that I disliked. Even with the much longer-than-expected wait, the quality and variety of the food made for a satisfying all-you-can-eat experience. If you plan on visiting during peak dinner hours, I would recommend expecting a wait, but once you're seated, there are plenty of options to make the meal worthwhile.

I ordered the Nobi dog, Nobi egg sandwich, and the bittersweet sundae. I was initially hesitant to order the Nobi dog, but my doubts were immediately quelled with the first bite. The Nobi dog was a standout item with the perfect balance of flavors and textures. The savory Kosher beef frank is complimented by the sweet and salty chargrilled pork, pickled carrots and daikon, and spicy sriracha mayo and jalapenos. The crunchy pickled vegetables and creamy mayo stand out against the tender pork and beef frank. I would definitely reorder the Nobi dog at a future visit. Unfortunately, the Nobi egg sandwich was only mediocre and left and impression no more than the simply the sum of its parts. The chargrilled pork was flavorful and egg had a pleasant fluffy texture, but the sandwich as a whole tasted rather boring and uninteresting, especially compared to the Nobi dog. The bittersweet sundae was a stout brownie with vanilla gelato, covered in whipped cream and was the lowest point of this meal, and I would recommend against ordering it. In my opinion, there was entirely too much whipped cream, which was foamy and runny and had a metallic off-note, perhaps from the can it likely came from. After digging through the mountain of whipped cream, I was further disappointed by the texture of the brownie, which had an unpleasant eggy taste and texture. The vanilla gelato was only okay, and did little to salvage this disappointing dessert. Despite its shortcomings, Nobi's service was excellent and attentive. Even on a crowded Tuesday dinner, our waiter frequently checked in on our party. The restaurant is fairly spacious and can accommodate large (8+ people) parties, however it may be a challenge if you plan to visit on a Tuesday night. Overall I would return to Nobi's, specifically for the Nobi dog or the amazing $10 pork chop deal and to explore their wide selection of beers. Aside from that, I would be willing to try other items, but I definitely would not reorder the Nobi egg sandwich nor the bittersweet sundae.
