    Appetizer menu.

    I feel terrible that I have not written a review on this restaurant as I promised the manager when he was kind enough to come and sit down and talk to us about the meal. I promised him that I would and so this is my synopsis of what I think is a wonderful, wonderful sushi bar, which is new to our side of town, but apparently a second venture for the owners. If you read my sushi reviews, you will see that Uni is my barometer for the quality of sushi that I'm about to eat, and this particular restaurant has wonderful sushi, which tells me that they have high volume, and I am not at all surprised as to why. There was not a caught that I had which included tuna yellowtail, etc., which I did not thoroughly enjoy to its fullest. The ambience is simply wonderful. Very clean large Roomy just a wonderful experience. And the service is without question some of the best I've ever had in a sushi restaurant. Not only was the server attentive, but the manager personally visited each and every table and obviously knows his business quite well. I rate this amongst some of the best sushi bars in and around the city of Houston and because there are a number of them who have been around for many years a new entrant. I wish them the best of luck and I will be back as a customer.

    Very clean restaurant, friendly wait staff. Sushi was fresh and delicious. Hot sake was HOT... which was awesome. Bento box for my daughter was enough for 2 people. My son had the Udon which he loved. My husband and I had a couple of rolls and both were prepared as ordered. Everything was great.

    Fantastic services and food. This is the best sushi & sashimi and Hibachi's in Katy, great for family parties and celebrations!

    I recently dined at Ichiban, and I can't stop raving about my experience! From the moment I walked in, the restaurant was impeccably clean, which immediately set a positive tone for the evening. The highlight, of course, was the food. The hibachi dishes were absolutely delicious--every bite was packed with flavor. The steak was juicy and perfectly seasoned, and the shrimp was cooked to perfection, bursting with freshness. The fried rice was a delightful compliment, and I found myself going back for seconds! The drinks were another standout feature. I ordered a signature lychee cocktail, and it was both sweet and strong, just the way I like it. It paired beautifully with the meal and added to the overall festive atmosphere. What truly made the night special was the customer service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed to care about our experience. They went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. If you're looking for a hibachi spot that combines delicious food, refreshing drinks, a clean environment, and exceptional service, look no further than Ichiban. I can't wait to go back!

    My friend and I met up for lunch today and we had an awesome time. From the moment we arrived,…read moreeverything was great. Cayla immediately greeted us with a smile. I'm super indecisive and she was very helpful giving me suggestions for a good mocktail and entree. I got a pineapple drink and a pesto chicken pizza. Both were super yummy. From our fabulous waitress, Cayla, to the food/drinks to even the music... I give this spot a two thumbs up. I hadn't been in two years, but I definitely won't wait that long to return this time around.

    Organic food ... yes please!…read more Service and atmosphere: Our server was very friendly, professional, food and drink knowledgeable and made us feel welcome throughout the entire experience. The restaurant is well designed, decorated, clean and inviting. They offer good number of TVs to watch sports too. You can dine inside and outside. Food and drinks: Outstanding in both areas. We are thrilled to have found this organic food eatery. Its farm to table organic certified style is what attracted us the most. The food selection was great and foods ordered were presented well and prepared with care. All dishes were well seasoned and had good flavours. Using flour from Italy for making in-house pizza is worth noting. We didn't try their cocktails but they looked good on the menu. Will give it a go next time. Pricing: $$ - not overpriced at all for the quality of products provided. We will definitely become regular customers at this restaurant.

    Service was fantastic as usual and Luis even stopped by to ask about our meal. Paula was our server…read moreand did a fantastic job. She was very attentive and provided answers to all our questions. The restaurant was clean, well organized and had an appropriate noise level for guests. The only down side, and everybody has different expectations, was that the cod was over cooked and rubbery, not flakey. The rest of the food was appropriately hot or cold as it should have been. Will definitely return.

    It is very difficult to replicate a successful model however, these folks have done so and done so…read morewith great success and well deserved. First let me address the patio, which is a wonderful place to dine. The ambience is perfect and when the weather permits, which is late fall and early spring, it truly is a wonderful experience. The service is the same as the service in the Katy Local table, which is just wonderful. Very attentive, very efficient a wonderful experience to be quite honest with you. And when I said, it is difficult to manage a distinct setting with the same level of service as I said earlier, these folks have achieved that which is laudable. The menu is precisely the same, and the food is well prepared in ample quantities and I do not believe that I've experienced a single meal that is not good. Now this is just my personal experience. I won't speak for all yelpers, but I think the food to be quite dependable and the serving is quite ample given the cost. The same is true of the bar, which is quite good.

    First time to visit Local Spot since we were in the area. Have visited their sister locations…read morenumerous times so we knew we'd be getting a great meal. The place seems to be in a community center so the area is beautiful to sit outside or walk around after your meal. The menu seems smaller but still has lots of great options. Love that they have an all day breakfast burrito on their menu. Chloe was a great server!!

    Local Table was one of those places that looked more impressive than the actual experience ended up…read morebeing. We were in Fulshear and wanted to try something different that we don't have near us, so we decided to give it a shot. The restaurant itself is beautiful on the outside with an inside that has a modern, open design. You come in and seat yourself, and while there were several tables available, the restaurant definitely wasn't empty. There were people dining in the back room and out on the porch. It was a gorgeous day, but we opted for the AC. Service wasn't terrible, but it also wasn't especially attentive. It took a while for someone to come by with menus, and throughout the meal things just seemed to move slowly despite the restaurant not appearing understaffed. I don't mind a relaxed pace, but I also don't want to spend my entire afternoon sitting indoors at some random restaurant waiting around. We started with chips and queso. The chips were decent, but the queso was extremely thin and soupy--more like cheese soup than queso--thus definitely not worth the $10 price tag. Unless you love soupy queso. Then maybe it's definitely worth the $10 to you. For lunch, my brother and mom ordered The Local Burger with Fries and added avocado, my friend ordered the Beef Tenderloin Steak Wrap with Chips, and I tried the Spicy Buffalo Pizza because honestly, every menu starts looking the same after a while, and I wanted something different. Unfortunately, there were several issues with our order. Everyone's food arrived but my brother's because our server somehow assumed mom and he were sharing one burger since they ordered the same thing. They also forgot the avocado add-on for both burgers. Mom gave my brother her basket, and they shared the burger until his came, which was about 10 to 15 minutes later. Mom liked the fries because they came out hot and weren't overly salted, but neither she nor my brother really raved about the burgers. I think by then they forgot they asked for avocado, and we weren't charged for it, but that's kind of annoying to ask for something and nothing is said...they just quietly make sure not to charge you for it. The Spicy Buffalo Pizza was probably the biggest disappointment for me. I expected a more traditional buffalo chicken pizza, but instead it was kind of a layered, heavily drizzled mess that didn't really work together. The crust also appeared to be some sort of cornmeal-style crust that wasn't my favorite and didn't hold up well under the weight of the toppings. It was the kind of slice you knew would end up on you rather than in you, so I was really careful to make sure it hit the pizza board and not me. I ended up boxing most of it for my housemate. Mark wanted dessert, and they have something called "The Spot Ice Cream Sandwich," which is a brownie or assorted cookie with vanilla ice cream and toppings. Mom asked whether he could simply order the brownie by itself, and our server Victor said he would ask, but we never actually got an answer. One thing that really annoys me at restaurants is charging $4 for fountain drinks and then not keeping them refilled. Victor did eventually ask about refills, but by then the meal was basically over. Overall, this place wasn't bad, but it also wasn't great. The atmosphere and design are probably the strongest part of the experience. I wouldn't necessarily avoid it, but I also wouldn't go out of my way to come back. What made lunch even funnier is that next door at Cross Creek Ranch, there's a hanging sign advertising an "observation deck." We had debated going before lunch but decided to eat first and then check it out afterward. Much like the restaurant itself, the concept sounded far more impressive than the actual experience. There really wasn't much to observe. I just found it amusing that both experiences ended up being equally mediocre.
