I haven't been to this spot in years. I forgot how good this place was!…read more Music is always popping here. I came in on a Friday night, and they had a live DJ playing. The music is a mix of EDM, Hip-hop, Rap, and R&B. They have tables and bar top seating. If you have a bigger group, I'm sure you can find a table depending on the time you arrive. There is a lot of seating. To start off, I ordered the Matcha Martini. It was STRONG omg, definitely a sipper, but it was so good. It was creamy and had a good matcha flavor. I love how they added matcha powder on top. For drinks, I also tried their espresso martini and Bubbly Pineapple. The espressos here are good, no complaints. The Bubbly Pineapple is so cute; it comes out with a bubble of smoke you can pop. The drink is very refreshing; it really tastes like pineapple. FYI, the drink has little black seeds, so if you don't like textures in your drink, maybe this one isn't for you. Also the drink came with a little frozen pineapple you can add to your drink once you pop the bubble As an appetizer, I got a dozen raw oysters and decided to add the $5 tobiko (fish eggs). Let me say, they were not stingy with the Tobiko, there was so much on my Oysters, I mean a lot! The oysters were good, and so was the tobiko, but I feel that with so much tobiko, it kind of took away from the oysters. Still good though, especially for $21 for the dozen with the tobiko! It was very filling I'm not gonna lie, I got pretty full with the oysters, but I still had to eat my entree As an entree, I ordered the Short Ribs, which came with rice and a side salad. I didn't think I was going to eat much of my entree since the oysters had filled me up, but I ate the short ribs down to the bone! Every single one of those ribs I devoured, no meat was left on my plate. I didn't have space to eat, but my stomach made space for this. 10/10 would recommend the short ribs, especially with the delicious sauce it came with. I think it's like a fish sauce 10/10 for food and drinks. Bonus: the staff here is really friendly. I really enjoyed my time here. I need to come more often for sure, this is definitely a Katy gem

Had no reservations anywhere on a Friday night but called GiAu Bar n Bites & they said come on in, we don't get our crowd till late night. It was fairly empty at 7:30p but by the time we left at 9:45p there were a few more ppl. Funny thing is, the age of most customers was 40-60s. The music is pumping loudly with no DJ but at 9p the DJ came in & took the music up another level! I think the older folks come out early & likely the younger people take over after 10 or 11p. ( I won't be able to confirm that theory cause I'll be home by then!) Food & services were good as usual. The bartenders do a great job check them out!

Dinner and a show at Da Silva!…read more I had a fantastic time at Da Silva Steakhouse. Here's the breakdown: The Food: Watching them prepare the steak right at the table is a must-see. The Price: Very affordable sides that pair perfectly with the main course. The Atmosphere: Great Latin vibe with a live band that keeps the mood up. The Service: Excellent! The staff is attentive and fast. The Perk: Finding a spot was easy thanks to the decent parking

It looks very nice upon walking in - low lights to set the mood. When we were seated, our server initially seemed to be overwhelmingly attentive. Standing there as we looked over the menu for the first time. A little awkward half way through our meal, her shift was over and we were introduced to a male server. He came to our table once maybe twice and had us waiting to get a beverage. I was planning on getting dessert but the change in service changed my mind. The food was delicious - my steak cooked almost perfectly (slightly under). It looks like they have entertainment some nights. So it could be a vibe but the service needs some major work.

They acted giddy and happy to help us put everything together, reassuring us that they would be there to support us on our big day. That all changed the moment they got paid. On the day of the event, we only saw the owners twice, and neither time was to help us. When I walked up to the owner to thank him for having us, his response was completely unprofessional: "Are you kidding? This is for you, you paid for it." The only other time he approached us was to aggressively complain about someone taking up two parking spots--and it wasn't even one of our guests. They also explicitly promised they would check on us throughout the event to see if we needed refills on water or drinks. They completely ghosted. We never saw them, and our guests were left without service. It has been three weeks since the event, and we haven't received a single follow-up call or text to ask how things went. They got their money and completely checked out. Nice place, but terrible owners and even worse service. Never again will we book with them. Save your money and go somewhere where the staff actually cares about your business.

I visited during lunchtime for the AYCE and it wasn't bad at all. I tend to lower my expectations…read morewhen it comes to AYCE and revolving sushi, but 25 Sushi House does it well. The selection is a bit more limited for lunch, but the price is lower than dinner as well. Being AYCE, I wouldn't expect the highest quality, type, and cut of fish, but what they had was pretty solid, tasted fresh, and was delicious. A minor complaint would be they had no sashimi option, even for the tamago which I personally believe is eaten best without rice, but that's just minor stuff considering the good value here. As much as I try to find a reason not to give this place an outstanding rating, if I compare it to the AYCE category of restaurants, it did everything right. They do have a regular a la carte menu, with a selection that looks like a treat in itself. As for me, I highly enjoyed their jalapeno bomb to start. I highly doubt they used snow crab, tasted like imitation crab, but I enjoyed it nevertheless and got another order at the end. I tried a few nigiri while I was here, with eel being my favorite (and thank goodness for no bones, which was lucky because it's eel). Their tacos were an unexpected standout and is worth a bite or two. Using sheets of nori and frying it to it holds up like a shell is pretty genius and more places need to do this. I had a good time with their Burning Alaska signature maki, which has salmon as the main star. The smokiness from torching was a killer! Their curry reminded me of S&B, which might very well be the mix they used. I was a bit disappointed to not see fish katsu as an option considered it's a sushi place, but I can see the katsu curry selection being a good option as a comfort dish. I wish I had the stomach space to try out new stuff, but maybe next time. Wish someone would post a photo of the salmon skin salad, because I'm a bit curious about that!

We genuinely wanted to support them. Unfortunately we could not bring ourselves to continue supporting business where the owner does not have business ethics, or perhaps human decency? (Turn out we are not the first with such unpleasantly disappointing treatment from the owner, and I am sure we will not be the last. If the owner decides to continue being rude and unprofessional to customers as well as treating customers like he is a social justice warrior all righteous and almighty, well good luck) Only if we knew sooner, by reading others' similar experiences/reviews as well as the owner responses to them with such rudeness and sarcasm, we could have prevented it from happening to us LOL

This is really not that type of place. The menu is limited. We did order wings, poppers and fries. The wings were not bad. We got them first. The spicy leach wings were pretty tasty. Our fries came next. They were pretty limp. I asked about the poppers and was told they only have one air fryer so it takes time. The poppers did arrive and were crispy (good) and nice hot. My wife had one hell of a strong frozen margarita that had too much triple sec. The tequila content helped a little there though. Our waiter was seen a limited amount of times. At one point I was tired of waiting for water I went and waited to ask for our check. Needless to say. If you want to have drinks and sit at the bar. This is the place to go.

Did a spontaneous run over here but left disappointed…read more It was Thursday late afternoon, and it wasn't busy at all with plenty of seats left. Despite that, we felt like we were being rushed out. The server could clearly see we were opening gifts, so it's not like we were just sitting there doing nothing. Again, the restaurant wasn't busy. I thought it was pretty rude that he interrupted us to ask if we were ready for the check literally a minute after we finished eating. Then, as soon as we placed our cards down, he immediately grabbed the tab off the table. He also never checked in to see if everything was okay or if we were enjoying the food while we were eating, so it definitely rubbed me the wrong way when it felt like we were essentially being kicked out. As for the ramen, it wasn't as flavorful as I remembered. It felt like it was missing both spice and seasoning. It wasn't horrible by any means, but between the lackluster food and the customer service, I don't think I'll be returning.
