    Salmon
    Brandon D.

    Had a gift card for Hando and decided to try it out since I was in the area for their spring branch location. This is my first time going to a hand roll restaurant and trying handrolls. I tried an uni bite, their limited time special rodeo hand roll, and the 3 piece handokase (spicy tuna, salmon, blue crab). The uni bite had a somewhat creamy texture but I didn't think it was anything crazy, probably wouldn't get again. The rodeo handroll was their special pork belly hand roll and it had a nice crisp, it was good but I prob wouldn't get again as I would focus more on the seafood ones. For the handokase, I really liked both the spicy tuna and blue crab ones. The salmon was good but nothing in special. These handrolls are actually a pretty decent size and I like how the seaweed comes off easily with each bite. At the end, they gave me a complimentary tamago and it was so good. It's pretty unique. Squishy, light, and sweet

    After eating at the Heights location a few times I was excited to see that Hando had opened a Spring Branch spot closer to home. The restaurant is in a newly updated strip center on Longpoint nestled alongside other popular neighborhood eateries with plenty of public parking in the attached lot. Hando is a hand roll sushi restaurant that offers bar top seating and service usually makes your orders one at a time as you eat, so you can enjoy each piece of sushi freshly made. They have a couple of very popular happy hours, so be on the lookout for a deal if you can come early or time it right. The menu's main event is hand rolls (duh) along with crudo, skewers, and some small plate offerings. The hand rolls are a good size and you'd be plenty full after maybe 3-4 pieces and an appetizer. They have handroll sets on the menu where they offer a 3 roll, 4 roll, and 5 roll set at fixed prices which makes it easy to navigate different samplings. Service was super friendly and prompt. It's bar top service so help is never far away if you have a question or need something. Hando is a great way to get your sushi fix in if you're in the area and craving a roll or two.

    Was craving handrolls for dinner and decided to branch out of the usual Handies Duzo run and try a different handroll place. I got the 4 piece set for $25. To start, we got a spiel about the daily specials, but I didn't pay too much attention to this. It would've been more effective to have it on a white board, since I overheard the same speech maybe 4 different times given to the other patrons throughout the course of my meal. For the food: the handrolls were prepared a little too fast for my liking. I had barely finished my 1st roll when the 2nd was already ready, which caused the seaweed to be soggy when I ate it a few minutes later. This happened for the rest of the handrolls that came out - so overall, the timing was really off. The fish inside was decent, but with a tad fishy aroma. The fried oyster handroll was the only one that really stands out among the rest. I also got the ribeye skewers, and they were OK - not too tough to chew, but didn't really taste like it was freshly grilled or cooked. It was only just warm, which signifies to me that they had it out for a little bit before serving it to us. Nothing mind-blowing. The place was cute in a food-centric plaza, but I would not come back if I had another handroll craving.

    Tucked away in a new, clean strip mall with plenty of parking, this restaurant was easy to find and comfortable to visit. I appreciated that the air conditioning was set nice and cold, which made it pleasant to dine in. The interior had domed lighting with bar counter seating that gave it a modern feel. The setup is interesting--usually one person makes the rolls per group of customers, but if you're eating quickly, another staff member will swing by to help keep up with the pace. The food itself was decent, though nothing that really gave a big "wow" factor. One note of caution: skip the Wagyu meatballs. They were too dry and definitely not worth the price. Overall, a decent spot if you're in the area, but not necessarily one I'd go out of my way for.

    Hando has a pretty neat HH where they do a set meal for $25 everyday (?) 11-3pm and then another HH from 3-5pm(?) with $5 menu items. I came in to try the 3 roll set and a couple appetizers from the later HH menu. Honestly, I thought that everything was just okay. I was most excited for the blue crab HR, but it was honestly just super creamy and I couldn't really taste the crab. The appetizers were both good, crispy, and served hot, I just think it was, again, pretty average. I do want to try some other items like other hand rolls, the skewers, and other hot plates, so maybe my rating will improve the next visit. The service and staff were super friendly and our chef was pretty interactive through our experience. The restaurant is also super clean and I love the ambiance lighting from the bar and the music was on point!

    Made it to happy hour (3pm-6pm daily)! Long was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and made some great suggestions. There's a good amount of seating and we were able to walk-in and got seated right away without reservations. Started off with the Umeboshi Margarita (tasty and delicious and tangy). On the HH, we got the Takoyaki and the Squid Karagae (really enjoyed the aioli it came with and ended up dipping my handrolls in it). Ordered the 5-handroll set and it included Spicy Tuna*, Hamachi Poke, Blue Crab, Fried Oyster, Shrimp Katsu. The quality was pretty good of the fish and fried seafood was light and airy. Pricing is also quite comparable to other handroll spots in houston. I liked that none of them were avocado hand rolls within the set. I feel like that's a silly handroll to have. Water was always kept full and the rest of the staff were helpful and nice as well. Also attached is their speakeasy - Kanpai located in the back near the restrooms through the red door. Which they close at 2am on Fridays and Saturdays and serve drinks and late night bites. Parking - within the plaza

    Went here with the family. Was able to get a seat pretty quickly with 6 people in the party. We all ordered our food one by one. The hand rolls are made almost in front of you. Cooked food is made in the kitchen in the back. They serve you one hand roll at a time and make the next one once you finish your first one. To help space it out. The Brussels sprouts were crispy and had great flavor to them. The skewers (chicken and beef) were okay; it didn't come out hot off the grill; it felt like it was sitting on the table for 20 minutes because it was room temperature. The hand rolls were good and fresh but can add up since they don't really fill you up.

    Got takeout from here for lunch and it was super tasty! I ordered the chicken karage bento with a toro roll on the side and everything was super fresh and well packaged. The karage bento had chicken karage, rice, brussel sprouts, dumplings and a piece of castella cake. The karage had a light and savory batter, the dumplings had a cripsy sear, and the brussel sprouts were super tasty with what tasted like eel sauce and Japanese mayo on top! The castella cake was the perfect little sweet treat for the end of my meal. (8.5/10) The toro roll was also delicious and fresh despite getting it take out. Definitely as good as any other sushi place I've tried on bellaire Blvd. (7/10)

    This handroll bar has a beautiful interior with wooden accents and a very cool speakeasy, "Kanpai Club", inspired by Japanese subway stations. Unfortunately we didn't enjoy the food very much. We ordered: - 3 piece hand roll set (spicy tuna, salmon, blue crab) - Toro hand roll - Yellowtaill hand roll - Ocean trout hand roll - Unagi hand roll - Soft shell crab hand roll - Flounder ceviche hand roll - Uni bite - Yellowtail sashimi - Salmon sashimi - Brussel sprouts - Beef skewers - Lamb skewers - Scallop skewers - Green mussel skewers - Match painkiller - Everything's lychee keen We didn't really like anything that we ordered. We also noticed that the quality wasn't consistent, one of my hand rolls tasted much worse than my partner's even though we ordered the same thing. Service was fine, they serve the hand rolls one at a time to ensure the nori stays crispy.

    I had a great experience. I showed up at 2 PM and I had fresh delicious fish yummy yummy. I would come back for sure.

    I probably should have realized from the name that this place specializes in hand rolls, but after checking reviews and photos that showed traditional sushi, I expected a bit more variety. To our surprise, they only offer cut sushi for takeout--everything else is hand rolls served at the bar. We were seated right away (though we arrived around 5:30 PM), and the atmosphere was sleek and modern. Just be aware that it's a bar-only setup--there are no traditional tables. Service was excellent--friendly, attentive, and fast. We ordered two appetizers and two drinks. One of the drinks even came in a super cute fish-shaped glass, which was a fun touch. Overall, a great spot if you're specifically looking for hand rolls and a more casual, bar-style experience.

    First time trying Hando today. Intimate and neat spot for dinner with a speakeasy in the back. They have a large menu with a variety of different item. The food came out very fast. I've had a amount of hand rolls however this place would be my least favorite. Unfortunately, my biggest concern was the rice wasn't up to par with other sushi rice that I've had other handroll places. Handies Douzo is much more better in my opinion. The bright side to this place is speed, cocktails, and complimentary cake.

    I'm a big fan of the location in the Heights so I of course had to try this newer location. I went for the four hand roll set. The tuna was my favorite as per usual. Each roll was pretty good but I feel that the fish quality and freshness is better at the Heights location.

Reviews stated that they offer $10 Carajillos starting at 10pm and both Yelp and Google Maps showed them open until midnight.

There was a gentleman working on the flooring, furniture being disassembled and lots of construction equipment outside. The seeming owner or manager reassured us to come in, however as soon as we took a seat we learned that they closed at 10pm. Ironically there was a young man assembling a large sign that states "open until 10pm" to prop outside. The bartender offered to make us a drink and since we had driven here just for this spot (I would call it a coffee shop and not really a bar), we agreed. The Carajillos were $15 and sadly, batched. Disappointing for a cocktail with only about two ingredients. We asked if they could add an orange peel garnish but unfortunately they were out. Definitely a one and done. Will not be back.

The vibe inside is super cute with mood lighting and plenty of intimate seating spaced throughout. Parking in said shopping center is sparse. I'm not sure if parking is allowed at the neighboring businesses after hours, but I wanted to play it safe and ended up waiting about 15 minutes for someone to vacate their space. Our group had a couple of tables reserved and they had no problem having everyone pay on separate tabs. Service is offered both at the table and bar. Our waiter was attentive and had great recommendations for wine. When I was conflicted between two whites, he graciously brought me out both to taste and decide. I went with the Cacciabruco Malvasia/Trebbiano, which is a skin-contact white wine, so it had more of a reddish hue to it and almost looked like a rose in the dim lighting of the restaurant. I really liked this, as it was on the drier side and satisfied my palate more than the Gewürztraminer that I had also sampled. I didn't try the food but others in our party really liked the flatbreads they ordered. I do want to try these out next time because I know they will pair great with the wine! I'm glad I finally discovered this place! I'll definitely be back for happy hour and even a date night.

It was a good pour, not too little or too much and the taste was deep, well balanced and smooth. Since the event took place around dinner time I also had a Fig and Speck flatbread. The fig, prosciutto and other toppings complimented each other well. The flatbread dough itself was ok but could've benefited from a little more flavor such as some garlic, butter and herbs. I also would've liked it a bit thinner so I could taste less of the bread and more of those delicious toppings. Don't get me wrong it was good and I ate all of it but these are small suggestions I'd recommend to bring it to perfection. I could see parking and seating being tricky. I was fortunate to snag a parking spot on the side of the building near the auto place and once inside I found a seat at a table with a lovely couple, another couple joined us soon after. Many of the guests who arrived later stood at first and then halfway through the event, made their way to the floor where they sat cross legged. All in all, The Library was a nice establishment and although a little out of my way, I'd return for another event or if I were in the area again.
