How damn cute! They go over the top with their to go/delivery packaging. Sushi is good and travels well. The edamame was a great surprise - not your typical boiled and salt. It was that but also charred on a grill that added a little plus plus. We'll order from them again.
There's seating outdoors, inside at the sushi bar, tables, and more seating upstairs. I noticed that they used machines to give proportionate amount of rice for the nigiri and rolls. This is nice to have consistent amounts of rice for each dish. I do wonder if this would make service slow or not because it did take awhile to get our food. There were a lot of to go orders and the way they package the items looked top tier. I did see they had a reasonable price for omakase for 2 ($95). This alone I think is worth trying this place out. However, I was not hungry enough for their omakase. I don't know if the machine played a roll in it but the seaweed was a bit soft and got stuck onto the dish. This made the quality of the rolls disappointing. The fish tasted fresh but I think the flavors and ingredients overpowered the fish. I would have liked ingredients that would elevate the fish and make it stand out as the highlight of the rolls. However, I thought they did a good job with presentation in each dish. I tried the rainbow row and that was a bit hard to eat because the seaweed got stuck onto the wooden board. I also thought the menu didn't reflect all of the ingredients that were inside of the rolls. They list the main stuff but not everything else. For example, I noticed that there was asparagus inside of the rainbow row but it isn't listed. For that reason I'd give it 3 stars. I wouldn't order this again. The next item I tried was the yuzu kissed and this was my favorite out of everything I've tried. I do think that it was missing something that would balance out the citrusy flavor but nevertheless it was still tasty as long as you don't douse the fish in the sauce, 5 stars. I also tried the Wagyu pitchfork and I think something that would've made this taste better would be a sauce maybe like an eel sauce. This would also get 3 stars for me. The spicy tuna roll was 3 stars for me and it was more so of the texture of the tuna. The tuna felt like it was stuffed in the roll and was like a soggy texture. Some of the tuna fell out as I was eating it and it also made the seaweed wrap around it a bit moist. I think if you go here you definitely should get the sashimi that way you could actually taste the quality of the fish. I tried the medium tuna and fatty and these were actually what I would expect from a place like this. The quality was there but the other items didn't hit the mark for me. The other item I tried was the Japanese scallop and the scallop was tasty and had that smooth buttery texture. The seaweed again kind of ruined the scallop for me. It felt like the scallop was shoved into the roll and was all soft and squishy when I picked it up.
I came here to get the BOGO donburi special that they sent me an email about but the code didn't work online. When I called they were able to apply it for pick up which works out either way. the only negative is that the rice was steaming which means for the second bowl (yes I ate two) the fish was kind of cooked which made me sad because they are thin pieces of fish and I love the raw. It was still tasty and high quality fish but perhaps in the future if the rice wasn't steaming hot before the chirashi goes on top, that would be nice.
We stopped here for lunch and realized that the building has different eating restaurants with a nice outdoor area to relax at (if it wasn't so hot outside). The interior of Himari is a tad small but you can see them make the sushi while you wait for your food. We ordered the spicy tuna, crispy tuna and mixed tempura. The tempura was good, and came with shrimp, onions and sweet potatoes. The spicy tuna was meh, I didn't like the texture of the tuna since it was too mushy or the slight aftertaste. I also wasn't a fan of the crispy tuna for the same reason. The rice had a nice crunch but the crunch and mushy tuna together just didn't work for me. The service was good and the servers were friendly.
Arrived at Himari today and really did have a great experience! It is a small setting but it left a big impression! Sat at the bar and ordered hot saki and sparkling white wine as an added kick( both were great by the way), and then for starters we got a crispy tuna roll, which was very good, ( tuna on a bed of fried rice cake cut into rectangles , with chives and trimmings on top) order of the chicken karage , that was fried to perfection, spicy / juicy goodness and everything you want from fried chicken!, and lastly got the nigiri sampler with premium pieces of very fresh , melt in you mouth sushi! And all of this was available at happy hour prices because we got there before 5, except for the chicken karage and sparkling wine! Service was also STELLAR! I will be back for sure!!!
Happy Hour!!! On a Saturday!!! Oh yeah.... Very cute, place that has an outdoor section where kids can play. I enjoyed my lychee martini, and sushi choices. They were served in beautiful dishes and presentation was on point. I will definitely be back and they are apart of the restraunt week. The service was great as you don't have one, but two waiters which is great.
A few friends and I recently visited for the first time to to check out their Houston Restaurant Weeks menu. There's plenty to unpack here. The first is the location is at the Stomping Grounds. It's a vibe however it can run very heavy with young families and kiddos running around in the evening hours. If you're trying to sit outside for a date or something, it probably isn't the the best spot. As far as the establishment goes, it's quaint and small. A few tables upstairs on the second floor, which is where we were sat. Warning, if you run a bit cold all the time, it may be worth bringing a sweater as the ac vents are up here so.it runs colder. Food - 4* We ordered the HRW menu and while everything was delicious the portions were pretty small and we all left a bit hungry. The highlights were the kanpari, spicy yellowtail, and spicy tuna. The cocktails were ok, nothing special. Service - 2* This is where we really were disappointed. Our first couple of courses came out fairly quick, nothing great, nothing bad. The third course took quite awhile while the dessert took another entire hour. It was getting ridiculous and we finally said we just want to get our bill and leave. It was only then the dessert seemed to finally show up. The damage was done though. We had decided already that we would not be coming back. They did try to make it right by taking two of the drinks off the bill. Cost - 3* The portions were small for what we would have expected, even with the HRW special. Overall - 3* The vibe is cool, not too loud or obnoxious and a good spot for a small group of friends to enjoy. That stated, the biggest disappointment was the service. We were there for nearly three hours for the four courses and still left hungry (probably because we waited so long). I doubt we'll be back however there is plenty to checkout nearby!
We came in a large party, made reservations in advance. Upon arrival, we were a little confused, how could they fit a party of 10 in this small space? We were directed to head upstairs, no elevator access. The courtyard play area could be viewed from upstairs. Our server was very friendly and patiently went over the menu. We were all first timers dining. My hubby and I were pleasantly surprised by the pricing on the sushi set so we opted to try the C set. I felt it was worth the money for $56. That was 12 pieces of nigiri, 3 pcs sashimi, and a small maki to finish it all. All pieces were really good and fresh. Here's what you get below. Sushi Set C: - Choice of Tuna, Salmon, or Yellowtail Sashimi (3pcs) - Medium Fatty Tuna (2pcs), Tuna (2pcs), Salmon (2pcs), Seabream (2pc), Amberjack (2pc) Yellowtail (2pcs) Nigiri - Yellowtail Roll We also order the two crudo, the Yuzu Kissed and Spicy Yellowtail. Both were nice portions, fresh, and delicious. I would order everything again. I would like to come back to try their happy hour, daily from 11 AM to 5 PM. Maybe I'll try on a day that I'm off or on the weekend because 5 PM is rough trying to get there after work. Parking here is a little weird, no upfront parking as the restaurant's entrance door faces an interior courtyard with limited point of entry. However, seems to be plenty of parking in private lot. There are other nearby options in the same center, to hang out afterwards.
Had a great dinner at Himari! I was celebrating my boyfriend's birthday and we really enjoyed our meal. Everything was prepared swiftly, fresh, and had good flavor. I thought the Karaage was unique - it's fried in a different way than most other restaurants do it. I liked it because it had a cleaner feel - it didn't feel like I was just eating fried chicken. I thought the Kanpachi had great flavor! The first bite is fragrant with orange, and then it shifts into the light taste of the amberjack that's soaked up some of the flavor from the sauce. Interior feels slightly modern, upscale, and casual. I made a reservation but ultimately it wasn't necessary. Access Himari by entering through the Stomping Grounds (the astroturf field). Parking anywhere in the shared lot should be free! There's a decent amount of parking available.
Came here to finally try their lunch menu. I love the set up of the restaurant. I do enjoy sitting at the bar and kind of watching their prep of the sushi and dishes. The service was good and friendly. The pieces are not big I'd say maybe on the smaller size probably lunch size. I'd say the pricing is mid-tier to high-tier if you wanna be full. Most of the pieces of fish were super buttery and delicious! I can't remember all of the names of them unfortunately.
Service was pretty horrible and there was only two tables that were filled. Sushi was good though! little on the higher end of cost . Lots of fruit flies everywhere which is groass.s tree tree
It's only been 3 months since we first came here, and I was looking for the same great service and food, but sadly, I was met with a disappointing experience!! We sat at a two top and basically ordered a few of our favorites from their $95 omakase menu, but it just wasn't the same. The soft shell crab was overcooked, and my spicy tuna roll was pretty dry and lacked flavor! The only thing that remained consistent was their medium fatty tuna nigiri. The server who initially came by and asked us what we wanted to drink, somehow just completely forgot about us and never came back around to our table after the drinks were delivered. It would've been nice to have some transparency or a heads up that we need to flag down another server or that someone else will be serving us for the rest of our meal experience. Sadly, we prob won't be returning and it's kinda unfortunate that they are linked to some of my other favorite restaurants around town. It just wasn't their day.

GENERALIZED REVIEW: Came here with a friend from theatre after a full run--he had this place recommended to him by another theatre friend, so we're just passing on the word. The plaza was a bit confusing to navigate, and I'm pretty sure if the place weren't full of Asian parents and their kids, it would've felt like the shadiest place ever because you have to enter from the back. Otherwise, the plaza had a lot of great-looking stores overall. My first go-to: I've loved drinking Kirin Light ever since I discovered it in Chicago. The flavor is literally so light, with a slight acidity that brightens up my meal. The sake here was frankly also delicious. I didn't order it, but my friend did, and they had it warmed. The flavor was soothing and subtle, almost like tea. It was exceptionally easy to drink, and the ocean-themed ceramicware was a beautiful touch. We ordered two rolls: the Shaggy Dog and the Truffalufagus (a fun tongue-twister). I personally chose the Truffalufagus (which is not fun to spell) because it seemed like the most unique dish on the menu, and I enjoyed it very much. What I liked most about it was that it was subtle yet impactful. I also loved the textures--from the internal crunch paired with the fresh jalapeño to the softness of the fish. I'm glad I gave this roll a shot, and I would be excited to try it again anytime. The Shaggy Dog was great, but it appealed less to my flavor profile. It was a little too rich and creamy for me. I recommended this place to my BF as a potential future date spot--I personally think he would like it... if he weren't the type to enjoy AYCE sushi so much. If they had more unique rolls, I would definitely come back just for those. I was tempted to order the Surf and Turf for this round, but I didn't want to seem like a glutton, hahaha. read more

Visited Himari for HRW. Fantastic Food and impeccable service. Joanna, their general manager, was exceptional checking on us and making everything exceeded our expectations which it definitely did. Mabuhay Joanna! Looking forward to bring our other family members to try out Himari! read more
Ducktache's restaurants continues to serve innovative twists on sushi again and again. Himari delivered on quality and quantity with this $95 for 2 omakase. The edamame was tossed in a lime infused oil and flakey sea salt, perfect balance between fat acid and salt. The tuna tostada was an amazing bite size dish. The chip was home made and had a very satisfying bite and crunch. The truffle oil paired very well with the tuna on top. The wagyu pitchfork combined Japanese roots with Texas barbeque culture. It was crunchy, had a kick of jalepeno, and tasted a little like smoked brisket. It felt like eating Truth BBQ in a roll. Masu Viche was refreshing like ceviche eaten at the sea. The apple provided a satisfying crunch with cilantro lime oil on salmon. It was the perfect blend between two cultures. I am sad that they did not provide the matcha yuzu tiramisu I was hoping for (my party had a tree nut allergy so maybe that's why), but the ube tres leches did not disappoint. I tasted fresh whipped cream, a sponge cake soaked in a deep purple ube syrup, and tiny bite size mango chunks that added a new chew to each bite. This dessert I would classify as truly "not too sweet" as Asian immigrant parents like to say as a praise. read more

parking: 5/5. even if you're unable to park in the designated lot, there's still a lot of parking within walking distance. ambiance: 3/5. this place is very small and can get quite loud. the person at the table behind me bumped into me quite a few times lol. however, we went on a weeknight and everyone pretty much cleared out after 8pm. service: 5/5. our server was very nice :) himari rainbow roll: 5/5! very yummy and fresh. $18 surf & turf roll: 5/5! unique and delicious. i recommend adding just a touch of lemon. $18 shaggy dog roll: 5/5. the sauce they add on top is quite spicy but the roll was yummy!!! $18 crispy tuna: 5/5. my first time having crispy rice and it was delish!!!!! i asked if they could do regular tuna instead of spicy and it was great. $16 yuzu kissed crudo: 4/5. yummy and bright but i think the oranges are a bit overpowering. $18 overall: 4.6/5! would come back more if i lived in the area. great quality fish, yummy flavors, and friendly staff. make a reservation before going!!! read more

Pretty good sushi in a family friendly plaza. Super little kiddo family friendly since you can sit outside and the little kiddos can run around in the plaza. You order and pay through the QR code / app. Fairly standard sushi menu with a handful of rolls. The surf & turf, salmon curry and trufflaffagus were unique and worth getting. The Karaage was moist and flavorful. Will have to come back, sit inside and try the nigiri or omakase for a more traditional experience. It might be difficult to have a romantic upscale vibe unless you're inside. Service was attentive and fast. They answered any questions about the menu, but you still order and pay through your phone. read more

Himari was such a fun and delicious experience! We tried a variety of dishes (yes, even sake bombs), but the Shaggy Dog Roll was the star of the night. The crisp shrimp tempura and creamy cheese inside paired beautifully with the crab stick, serrano aioli, eel sauce, and sesame seeds -- a perfect balance of crunch, spice, and sweetness. Surprisingly, the edamame also stood out -- simple, fresh, and perfectly salted, the kind you just keep reaching for. Great food, lively atmosphere, and friendly service -- Himari nails it. Can't wait to come back! read more

My friends and I had a nice Houston Restaurant Week dinner at Himari. First off, the location that it's in, the Stomping Grounds, is so nice! I'd come back just to check out the other establishments. I got the Salmon Ringo Crudo, the Philly Roll Maki, Kanpachi Sashimi, and the coconut mochi ice cream. Everything was tasty and had fresh flavors. To add-on, we tried their karaage and kinoko nigiris, which I'd highly recommend! Service was quick and attentive, especially with our larger group of 8 in their somewhat smaller space. All in all, the HRW dinner menu was a good value, but I'd recommend ordering other items off the menu. read more
Not a single miss. Every dish and piece of sushi was flavorful and enjoyed. Surf & Turf and the Truffulufagus were the winners for us though. Very unique and rich flavors. We also got some amazing cocktails, the lychee martini and Japanese high ball. Staff were all very nice and attentive as well. Jules the manager made a point to make sure we were enjoying ourselves as well. read more

Definitely come for the happy hour and the sushi sets! Sushi sets were pretty worth for the amount of food that you get. Casual dress and seating inside, although if it's busy there is also seating outside as well. They have a self service kiosk also if you want to order to go! Very very convenient. My favorite sushi from them was the salmon and yellow tail! I'll definitely have to come back to try their other stuff if I'm in the area! Plenty of parking here since it's in the stomping grounds! read more
When I heard another concept was coming from the same team behind Handies Douzo, Aiko, and Kokoro, I knew I had to check it out. However, the ownership of this place is a little different. Even though it seems like the same team, Daniel Lee and Patrick Pham are not the head chefs here and I could tell. The nigiri was a little less inspired and the flavors a little less vibrant, which is why I did not rate this place 5 stars. However, it is no doubt still a very good sushi place. We enjoyed our dining experience here, although I was not blown away. The crudos were the only standouts, similar to the crudos at Handies and Aiko. I admit I did not order any of the rolls, only nigiri, so perhaps their rolls is where they shine. The restaurant is cute and clean on the inside, albeit quite small. There is apparently an upstairs although I didn't see anyone going up there. The restaurant is located in the Stomping Grounds so plenty of parking. The service here could be better. There seemed to only be one waiter for lunch on a Saturday and he wasn't super on top of his game. He was very soft spoken, was slow getting our bill, and also split our bill wrong on a few items. I would come back if we were in the area, but probably wouldn't go out of our way to come here. read more

It was our first time eating at Himari. We called to ask if we could bring our dog to eat outside. They allowed us to bring him and sit outside on the deck to eat there. They had a special four course menu which was $39 which would help towards Houston Food Bank. It wasn't too hot outside and they had ceiling fans on. The sushi rolls and nigiri were really good because the rice wasn't too soft or too hard, seasoned well with the right amount of vinegar. Our favorite was the salmon belly nigiri and it melted like butter in our mouths. The chicken karaage was also very crispy and good. They also had chu-toro which was also very good. I would definitely come back again. read more

First review of the year! From last year - haha. I got knocked out from the flu Anyways, here's to the less formal yet still as spectacular as their sister establishments (Aiko & Handies Douzo). Honestly, if you're craving some fresh fish but you are not dressed appropriately for the other 2 places or they have no more available reservations, Himari is where to go! You get the same menu with a slightly different take. This place has more traditional sushi rolls whereas HD is known for their maki rolls and cheery ambience and Aiko is more decendant. So let's ROOLLLLLL & go through some my top rolls: What we got We felt less rice-y and more fresh sahami and ordered the three cold crudos: 1. Tuna with PINEAPPLE & black garlic 2. Salmon with sliced apple 3. Red snapper with citrus & SUNFLOWER SEEDS ** there's more flavors in each but I just listed the ones that stood out to me here ! We also had to get some rolls obviously so we did the NEGITORO roll which was super fresh. totally recommend you have to incorporate this roll in your tastings somehow. And other one surprises me because I normally don't like fried - the Crispy Tuna. The idea of frying the rice than topping with fresh tuna is splendid. There are many other rolls I'd of loved to order but here's for always next time! The service was awesome! Our waiter was cordial and respectable of our time. read more
Really loved my experience here! The service was impeccable, very personable and neighborhood like feel. The crispy rice tuna was so delicious in a city that doesn't have it everywhere, we loved! The mochi was the perfect consistency & the FISH was SO fresh!!! Every bite truly is the perfect balance of flavors and the chef is so unique in the flavor combinations. I will absolutely be back & highly recommend. I loved sitting at the sushi counter and watching everything be made, it was a great atmosphere. read more
