We come here about 3-4 times a month, so it's safe to say this spot is one of our go-tos. We can usually get a table without a long wait, the staff is always friendly, the atmosphere is welcoming, and the sushi is consistently fresh. Our usual lineup includes raw oysters, bone marrow, edamame, a variety of sashimis, and the hot rock short rib--and every single dish is reliably delicious each visit. The only real downsides are the timing of the dishes and the wine selection. The pacing can be pretty uneven; one person may finish their plate several minutes before another's food even arrives. If you're ordering multiple dishes, it helps to put in the longest-prep items first, then order the quicker ones 5-10 minutes later. The wine menu also feels limited and could use an upgrade. Despite those cons, the quality of the food and the overall experience keep us coming back regularly. Definitely a strong spot for sushi lovers. read more

Ka has been one of my go to spots for a while and on a good day they are amazing but on a bad day is shocking what they will serve, today was one of those days, I am so disappointed in the food that I was served today that I am questioning my desire to ever go back, this saddens me greatly because once again when they are on, they are really on, I truly hope that they address these issues read more

I always have a great time here. The service is always top tier and food is delicious. I usually stop in mid afternoon and it's always quiet, that's how I like it. Can't wait for another happy hour here. Definitely recommend trying this restaurant out if you haven't before. It's never been a disappointment. read more

We came for happy hour and the food was so great. They have happy hour evrnonthe weekends.They prices were very reasonable for a happy hour and the happy hour menu was pretty large to try a lot of their menu options. They raw oysters were super yummy. Everything was elevated with little touches, like the rock candy with the hot tea and the yuzu with th oysters. The place is very cute on the inside as well. The servers were nice and attentive. The food came out quick as well. read more

I stopped by for a Friday lunch a couple of weeks ago. We grabbed seats at the bar for quicker service. Since I only have an hour for lunch, that's always a priority. We were greeted right away and ordered a couple of appetizers to start. We went with the shrimp tempura and the truffle snapper. The shrimp tempura was spot on! Crispy and light, a classic done right. But the truffle snapper stole the show. Super fresh and topped with a mandarin reduction that added the perfect touch of sweetness. Honestly, my favorite dish of the meal! For my entree, I had the wagyu slim roll. The wagyu was rich and flavorful, topped with pickled peppers that added just the right kick. I loved this roll, and my colleague who tried it agreed! Service at the bar was quick and efficient, which was exactly what we needed. Overall, it was a solid meal but nothing really stood out as extraordinary in terms of the overall quality. That said, I noticed they have a great happy hour menu so I might come back to check that out! read more

We came here late on a Friday night (9:30pm) with a reservation and were immediately seated. Service was a little hectic/rushed, but we were there near closing time so that was to be expected. Staff was pleasant and attentive, helping recommend rolls to the table. They have a solid menu of choices with all kinds of proteins/fillers so even non-sushi people should be able to find something to enjoy. They also have a large cocktail, wine, and drink menu. Parking - private shared lot read more

One of our favorite places to get sushi. The atmosphere is always enjoyable and service is helpful and nice. We always order in waves and the servers have never been annoyed or stopped coming by when we were deciding. Everything we ordered this round was delicious, but some can't miss is the Hamachi Chili and Waygu Nigri. First time trying their Unagi and was pleasantly happy with that decision! Food is pricy but they do have a happy hour that's worth checking out! read more

Ambiance was very nice it was my first time trying the place out. Service was good went on a Sunday for HH and sat at the bar. The bartenders were good about checking in and offering suggestions. The food was nice. I had the cooked oysters, shrimp tempura, and chicken yakitori I believe. All tasted good the shrimp tempura was only two pieces so I did order another one. Would be nice if there were at least 4 pieces of shrimp but was still good. For drinks I had a spicy type of margarita and some other that I can't recall the name. They were good too. I would go back. read more

Went during happy hour for a snack and had been here years ago. I enjoyed it back then as well! Place is cozy and has space. The service was great and quick. Price point is pretty high even with happy hour. Oysters 4/5 It was clean and good. I added soy sauce to it. Yellow rose maki roll 5/5 Solid but not spicy to me. Love the micro greens incorporated. Salmon tiradito 3/5 It had a tang to it but just okay for me, was light. Hamachi chili 5/5 My favorite appetizer! There is a little crunch and a little chili, has a good kick. The sauce on the bottom is also good. read more

! Once I came in I was greeted by the lovely hostess. It's dim and very clean sharp modern place. So pretty. We sat at the bar. She gave us menus I had the spicy edamame as a starter. It was so good! The spicy flavor was all there! Hit my craving. For the spicy edamame I been craving for weeks. There water is ice cold. Service there is great. I also ordered the chocolate shrimp. Which was a hit the last time I came but they disappeared so fast I decided to be greedy and have it all to myself. The setup of everything flows nicely. read more

The $14 katsu sando plate was satisfying, with juicy pork and a crispy crust. The French fries were sweet....different, but enjoyable. The nigiri lunch combo is an excellent value at $20, including 7 pieces of nigiri and 2 rolls. From the combo, I subbed the California roll for spicy salmon roll. Lunch items come with complimentary miso soup and salad with miso ginger dressing. Vegetable tempura was pretty standard. A little more greasy than usual, but still good. Service was good. My husband and I dine in often, mostly at lunch, and had never seen the female server before. She was friendly and kept water filled and tabled cleared. One star off because fans weren't on or offered to turn on, so the flies were being aggressive. read more

Visited Ka Sushi for date night during happy hour and tried all the happy hour rolls and oysters. The Raw oysters were the highlight, with a very citrusy flavor. The Oyster Rockefeller had a bit too much crunchy texture on top for my taste. The rolls were hit or miss. I enjoyed the smokey tempura the most, 10/10! We also liked the yellow rose roll. The service was great. We were seated right away and our waiter was very attentive. Would definitely return for happy hour. read more

False advertisement posted on Instagram. very misleading I drove all the way from manvel under the impression that happy hour is all day Monday and Tuesday - Sunday from 11:30am- 6:30pm . That is a lie. I drove an hour to get there. I arrived on a Tuesday around 1:30 pm and none of the food they posted for happy hour was even on happy hour. Turned right back around and drove another hour back home, the manager was extremely unhelpful. Even though it was their mistake. They did not take accountability or make any accommodations. False advertisement. read more

Came here for happy hour and the deals were amazing! So many rolls and apps for under $20. We got the hamachi crudo, miso eggplant tempura, oysters and 2 rolls. Everything was amazing! The eggplant was my absolute favorite. Loved the miso flavor and it was so crispy. Service was amazing and the food came out so fast! The inside doesn't have a ton of seating but it's very cozy and vibey. Such a great spot for happy hour sushi! read more

Came in for a late dinner after white linen night. We ordered mostly from the shareable portion of the menu to split against the 4 of us. Whole Fried Fish - very tender pieces but I was expecting a very crispy outside instead of soft. Ika- was not my favorite. The sauces it came with didn't taste very complimenting but I am used to a more vinegar based sauce eating squid. Three Little Pigs - very interesting and flavorful! The chicharron was delicious! We actually ordered an extra side to munch on. I think if they added that as a side dish with a little chilli flakes. Yummmm Meat and Green - the wagyu was so tender and the serving style was very cute and bite sized. read more

I went to ka sushi with my friends on a Saturday around 3:30-5pm. The restaurant was pretty empty but really nicely decorated. The menus were leather bound and nice. Our waiter was pretty good, and the bartender was really nice. The sushi was good, and the chicken karage was ok. I wasn't blown away by the food & my friends who love sushi wish they could taste the fish more. But overall it was a great experience! Note: the door was a little hard to open, just make sure to pull/push hard. Water rating: 6/10 read more

Came for lunch on a weekday. Honestly pretty disappointed with the food. Service and interior are on par. The sashimi was hit and miss.. the sushi roll rice was atrocious; it was mushy and was honestly worse than HEB sushi. The apps were hit and miss as well. The most well received were the grilled beef tongue and grilled squid but others complained about how chewy they were. Chicken skewers were no bueno for me; seasoning was off and the outside of the meat was burnt black in some parts. Rolls: 1/5 Sashimi: 3/5 Apps: 2/5 With so many decent (although overpriced) options in the loop, you really can't get away with subpar and lazy sushi. If you are aiming for more of a fusion spot, Bluefish beats the food here hands down. For a more authentic, Japanese experience, there's too many to name. read more

Ooof, the TL/DR here is to just find an alternative. Came here on a weekday lunch. Wasn't packed or anything, but I can imagine it feels really cramped when (and if) it gets busy here. Parking is fine too. Ordered a little sashimi, some nigiri, seasweed salad, miso soup, a couple rolls, whole grilled squid, a beef cheek skewer, chicken skewer, and mercifully that was all we tried. Can say I liked a single thing here, rice for the sushi was over cooked so it had a strange texture. Wasn't impressed with the fish. Rolls weren't very inspired or tasty. Skewers and Squid were overcooked too. I think the main thing here is that there isn't much pride or knowledge even in how to make a product that's worth coming back for. Any neighborhood strip center sushi joint could be here and you wouldn't know the difference. Recommend starting with the basics and paring back the menu and get just a few things right first. read more

Overall: A great place with great food and service. I love trying new places in Houston and this place was hyped up by a friend and it did not disappoint. We were able to get a last minute reservation bc a group cancelled, and I am extremely thankful because the food was amazing! Ambience: I will say that when you are coming from the parking lot. I was a little skeptical, but once you walked in it was very aesthetically pleasing. In my honest opinion, they did such a great job with the place - utilizing space to occupy the most ppl while giving everyone enough room. Service: When we got in, we were immediately seated. Thanks to that reservation. Our server was such a joy and delight. She knew we came to eat, catch up, and just have fun! She checked in on us just the right amount of times! There was never a moment where we had to call her or wait for her. Food: Ugh! I wish I took more pictures of everything we had!!! I was so tired coming in from my flight plus I was like 4 shots of sake in lol so that's probably why I didn't remember haha. The presentation of the food was beautiful! I remember the table ordered a few appetizers twice because it was so good! I honestly can't tell you all we ordered, but I will say we were beyond satisfied by taste, texture, and portion size! I come to Houston often so I cannot wait to come here again! I highly recommend this place! read more

I love the location! If you're going out in the heights after great spot to start at. Or if you're getting a car wash around the area. I'm not going to say it was the best sushi ever because I've had better. But the Waygu roll was honestly alright. It's spicy for sure but it just had so many flavors it was hard to enjoy. I'm sure if you don't mind both you'll enjoy it. I had the cucumber salad. Wish the pieces were smaller but overall very good. Had a crunchy bite and refreshing. And I tried the barracuda. 1/10. The ginger hit the top of my mouth and I literally went blind for 10 seconds. And the texture and flavor of the fish was just not to my liking. Don't be as adventurous as I was. I would come back if I wasn't paying. read more

Hubby kept seeing KA's happy hour promoted, so we decided to give it a try one early evening. We're glad we tried it, but we don't intend to go back (unless someone tells us the regular dinner menu is so much better. I feel like we tried everything the server recommended, and though the presentation was good, the food fell short for us. Out of everything we had, i liked the baisil tuna roll, the salmon tiradito, and the miso eggplant. Everything else was a bust, IMO. You might think you can't go wrong with Hamachi chili, since it's just yellow tail w/ ponzu and a slice of jalapeño, but it was sliced too thick, also, I wouldn't suggest the oysters, or if you do, ask if they have horse radish and cocktail sauce because that green sauce didn't go well with it. All just my opinion, but I feel like I have a very common/normal palette. read more

KA sushi is a go to in the Heights. Unique menu, with plenty of options for raw or cooked. Even friends I have that are not savvy about sushi, love this place.

Came here for lunch and they open at 1130 but I was finished in thirty minutes. I got the churashi lunch bowl which was solid. Salad was pretty good and great dressing. However the soup was so so. It was hot with lots of tofu and seaweed but it didn't have the miso flavor and was missing salt. Overall fast service and everyone was really nice. read more

We were in the downtown area and were looking at sushi spots to go to. We found this place on Yelp, which wasn't too far from where we were. The place is clean and has good amount of seating. The servers had smart aprons on and were nice and friendly. We ordered their miso soup (one of the best ones we've had), miso eggplant, deep sea roll, yellow rose, spicy salmon, spicy edamame and their mocho ice cream. The spicy edamame had a very different taste and it takes a bit to grow on you. Their rolls were very fresh and that felt good. We really enjoyed their mocho ice cream especially their pistachio flavor. read more

I've found another amazing sushi spot in Houston! I live around the Heights area, so this place was a pretty nice drive for me. This is definitely a place where you should be prepared to splurge a bit of money on, but it's definitely worth it. It has a bit of a slight upscale vibe with the dimmed lights and the presentation of the food, but I would say it's about between casual-upscale. This is what my friend and I ordered, that I highly recommend, with my personal rating: -hamachi chili crudo (4/5) -oyster rockefeller (5/5) -brussel sprouts (5/5) -yellow rose maki (5/5) -negi toro maki (5/5) Honestly, you can just feel the fish just melt in your mouth. It just tastes so fresh. My absolutely favorite out of everything that we ordered that I think is a must try when you come here is the negi toro maki. I'm honestly usually not a huge fan of tuna in general, but fatty tuna will make me drool for it. This is a great date night place or to catch up with a friend! read more

I'll give this place a strong OK. . .that's it. Nothing more. The menu is not as big as I thought. I even asked the waiter "Hey, can we get the rest of the menu?" He politely smiled and informed us "that's it"! LOL!! Oh, ok. I kept it basic and got the Shaggy Dog but my friend got something else and although we both enjoyed our sushi rolls, we did not get the OH EM GEE moment that we were waiting for. I heard about this place from some friends of mine and it did not WOW me at all. I'm open to coming back and trying something else on the menu but until then. . .meh. read more
