Service was not good. Went during Houston Restaurant Week We had two servers who were uncoordinated and everything you could think of wrong happened Half the group got their mains about an hour after the other half Half the dishes that came out were the wrong order, or handed to the wrong person Food portions were inconsistent. I had to forage for tuna in my tartare dish... read more

A good place for a night out with the girls, Had a 630 reservation so I was a bit quiet, but after seven people started piling in on a Saturday. It was pretty empty for a Saturday since it was cold out The sushi was fresh! I had the umi roll- loved the avocado and fresh fish on top. Lychee tini was strongggg Parking in free garage. read more

my favorite parts about this place is the ambiance and the dessert. my server was also very attentive. the decor is very modern and nice. and the dessert was nicely presented and tasted great. the maki roll selection wasn't my favorite compared to other restaurants. 3 of them had asparagus in it and i don't like that...and then more than one of the other ones had cream cheese in it and i'm lactose intolerant and can't have cheese. the ones i got were okay though they kind of made me feel a bit sick? main meal wise not my best experience at a sushi restaurant. read more

Service was lousy and uncoordinated. Two servers for one table is a recipe for disaster. Half the table's orders were forgotten or completely ignored. Halfway through service they made us reorder again. The Suzuki and Poseidon rolls were soaked in vinegar sauce, had no mouthfeel. The wagyu and unagi were decent but extremely oily, and only came in 4 pieces. Definitely left more to be desired. One last note, they overcharged our bill. Good thing we checked and made them take it off. read more

Service was absolutely amazing Our waitress was very helpful with the menu Some other best sushi I have had. 10/10 on the sushi rolls 10/10 of the appetizers read more

Hmm... I would consider this place having "bougie" sushi. Perhaps I'm relating that term with price to food portion. The prices are a bit higher than your typical "premium" sushi places. However, I've paid similar prices for better quality fish. Let's highlight the positives: Great ambiance Decent happy hour menu Good cocktails Service I like their sushi rolls; the rice to fish portion is perfect compared to most sushi places that make gigantic rolls with tons of rice. Personal preference. It's an ideal place for happy hour or a cute date night. I usually sit at the bar when I come here. Attentive service and consistent water refills. The location is across from Memorial City Mall, in the Memorial Hermann medical area. Parking can be tricky. If you can't find parking, there's the garage and valet. Not quite sure on the valet cost though. read more

Visited for a Friday happy hour as I was craving sushi and stumbled upon this place. The restaurant was fairly quiet for a 6pm experience. I sat at the bar and was greeted warmly. The bartender was attentive and timely. I ordered the lychee martini, garlic edamame, creamy rock shrimp and rin roll. The lychee martini was really good and well balanced. I am normally not a fan of edamame but these were AMAZING, I ate them all! The rock shrimp was just okay, the batter was a bit soggy and not as crunchy as I expected. The rin roll included shrimp tempura and cream cheese and was okay, it tasted a bit bland. I would try this place again to order some other options. read more

Duck a bit chewy. Sea bass is interesting and poached. Not the way I'm used to having it cooked, but cool to try. Wouldn't try it again. Sushi is solid. Otoro app is good. Foie gras shumei is good due to the foie. The shumei itself is unremarkable. read more

First time going here, and we had a very good experience! the fish was fresh with a good variety of flavors. We didn't order any nigiri or sashimi this time, instead we ordered a couple of rolls and dishes. The poseidon roll was my favorite! It had a truffle yuzu sauce on it that wasn't overpowering or too savory tasting. The kunseitaro was also another favorite of mine, very good smoked salmon. Service was pretty fast too, but granted it wasn't crowded when we went read more

Spider roll 5/5 Hot n' Spicy roll 5/5 Lychee martini 5/5 I came here to celebrate my anniversary dinner and as someone who's EXTREMELY picky, this place is a MUST GO! The server was attentive the whole time with filling up waters. The lychee martini was perfectly balanced without it being too sweet or too alcoholic tasting! All the raw fish we ordered ended up being fresh:the salmon, yellowtail, and tuna. Overall this is definitely a date night type of vibe--MUST visit while in Houston! read more

Amazing service, food was 10/10, the sushi tasted so fresh & the restaurant was very pretty. Will definitely be returning soon!

Came here with my husband last night after not coming for a while. We usually come on Fridays when they have the live violinist, but even without it we still had a great time. We ordered the $55 four-course meal and added an extra sushi roll on the side, starting with the Hamacchio Sashimi and Tuna Tartare with Taro Chips, which were both fresh and flavorful. For sushi, we tried the Truffle Suzuki, Poseidon, and June Maki rolls, all beautifully presented and delicious. For mains, we had the Sous Vide Wagyu with fig jam, which was perfectly cooked with a sweet-savory balance, and the Miso seared Sea Bass with cauliflower purée, which was tasty though I wish it had been served a bit warmer. For dessert, we shared the Chocolate Brownie Bites with milk ice cream and the Bread Pudding, both were pretty good. Our server was very knowledgeable and friendly, and overall the experience was great!. We spent about $200 and I'd give it a solid 8.5/10. read more

This might be the only worth while sushi location near the memorial area. There's free parking in the adjacent garage and large bar for happy hours. Interior is pretty muted, it's a dark environment and meant to be a bit more intimate of a setting. Our waitresses was friendly, attempted to be funny and personable, which is basically above and beyond this day and age. Menu is extensive, hot and cold prepared dishes are available, lots or nigiri and sashimi options to pick from, and about a dozen rolls round out a selection that should please most. The rolls had some flavor combinations that were new to me which made the experience stand out for sure, mostly ending towards sweeter notes. Spicy chopped scallop was yummy, tuna belly is always a winner, and foie gras also was nice to see on the menu. A fun item we ordered was the hot rock beef which adds some theatrically to your meal. A convenient location for the upscale sushi lover on the westside. read more

Had an amazing time for my first time. To start I came in a Sunday which was perfect. They have a Sunday deal, 2 for 1 nigiri, which was absolutely perfect because that's what I was in the mood for. The truffle salmon is my absolute favorite. The service was fast and great, couldn't have asked for anything better. And for a cold Sunday night, the big windows that look out makes the restaurant feel cozy and relaxing. Definitely coming back for another great meal! read more

This is our second time at this restaurant. We specifically came back because of the quality of the sushi and the Ube soufflé dessert. We made a reservation a month prior, arrive to the restaurant just for them to tell us they don't see our reservation and we have to wait for them to clean a table after we show them our reservation confirmation email. They take us to the table after waiting, it's still dirty. We couldn't even sit down because there was soy sauce on the chairs. We stand there at the table waiting awkwardly for them to clean it. They don't clean it for so long we ask to just please be sat at the sushi bar. We get sat at the sushi bar. Then ignored. And ignored. We have to wave someone down just to finally get water. Then we wait, and wait...We pull someone else's waitress to get our orders in and she was very nice. Unfortunately we were very upset because we were told they were not offering the ube soufflé dessert tonight... one of the main reasons we even made the reservation to come back to this place. We still stay and send in our order. Then we get our order... except it wasn't our order. They gave us someone else's order. We send the order back and watch it go to another couple, who also didn't order it, and then finally reach the correct couple. Then we wait. And wait. We wait so long we overhear another two couples complain that they got the same treatment of them acting like they couldn't locate their reservations, get told they don't have a table for them, and get sat at the bar. One lady left because they moved her from the drink bar to the sushi bar and still couldn't place her at an actual table after she waited for 30 mins. We went so long without food this was all very noticeable as we were just sitting there starving. We finally received 4 pieces of nigiri after 25 mins... we ordered 14 nigiri, 1 roll, and the crispy duck. We scarfed down our 2 measly pieces each after we had already been seated for an hour. I'm not even kidding we then waited to slowly receive 1-2 pieces of our order at a time across 1 hour and 20 mins, until we finally got so fed up we asked our waitress to please just take the final 4 items off our bill and give us our ticket because we wanted to leave. Good lord. The most miserable 2 hours and 20 mins at a "upscale" restaurant ever. I am so tired of these pseudo-fancy restaurants that are so poorly managed they cannot handle any type of rush. Only took 1 photo of the crispy duck we ordered and nothing else because of how awful the presentation of 1 item at a time was. read more

Please make sure to ask who Esmeralda is when you arrive. When my wife and I visited, she became disrespectful and began cursing in Spanish after we asked to speak with a manager, apparently assuming we would not understand her. This was particularly surprising given that this is a Japanese restaurant, where respect and professionalism are typically an important part of the culture. read more

The service here is extremely good! They pay close attention to the fullest detail and they're extremely accommodating. The rolls are to my surprise are very exquisite. High quality fusion styled and each kind of fish is fresh. I ordered their truffle Suzuki and Poseidon's. I definitely recommend getting them because it comes with their extra citrus truffle sauce. Their ambiance are good vibes and the interior decor are outstanding because as you eat you're left with this warm and tranquil feeling. Really fancy on the inside and elevated dining! I suggest everyone to check this place out! read more

We started the birthday weekend with a great meal at Kuu. From start to finish, everything was fun, delicious and just right. The fish was fresh and well prepared.

Very disappointing experience. The restaurant had a strong, unpleasant smell that was noticeable as soon as we walked in and completely killed the appetite. The food did not make up for it at all. The sushi was bland and lacked flavor, and the tempura wasn't crispy. Overall, not worth the visit and definitely not somewhere we would return. read more

Wowowowow! Went here on a whim since most our usual sushi places closed on Monday and was surprised!! Happy hour later until close (4:30? Something like that). Ordered a bunch from here and regular menu to try! The service was AMAZING, the sushi was straight from bar where we were sitting and I will say the rice was one of the best we've had in a long time! Our favorite of the evening was definitely the Kanpachi nigiri. Included bill between 2 people, 1000% will return read more

Dropped by for lunch with H, my sister, niece & her hubby. Place was pretty much empty. Service was really slow due to only one server. He tried, very hard we ended up waiting a bit for our drinks. Being 1/2 Japanese, I really do not like the "fusion" of different flavors. Just give me top grade fish, good shoyu, fresh ginger, wasabi & rice. I opted for the octopus sunomono, hirataki & hamachi. While fresh, I was a bit disappointed because this place is so hyped up & people fawn all over this place. Is rather go down the street to my favorite place (y'all know) next time. read more

Went in with some family members for happy hour yesterday(Friday) evening. Greeted as soon as we walked in. We were told for happy hour that we could could only choose between bar seating or sushi bar seating based on the fact that we were walk-ins. A bit odd but ok, numerous tables around us in the happy hour section were empty. Only 1 table was used. Wonder if it was a staffing issue but ohwell. Just be aware that if you want a table best to make a reservation. We were seated right away which was nice. Between the 4 of us we got 3 different drinks (one a mocktail). All were very delicious. We ordered 4 rolls of sushi, tuna tartar, 2 orders of ube chips, garlic edamame, Creamy rock shrimp, calamari, and a souffle. Everything was well cooked, had great presentation. Only one we didn't care for was the calamari, was kind of bland so the side sauce was very appreciated. For me the wait time for the souffle was worth it, I really loved it. The bartender was also our primary server and she was fantastic. Towards our last 20 or so minutes there was live music, a violinist was towards the end of the bar. I really enjoyed listening to him play. Even with the extra music it never got loud in here which was really nice. Able to enjoy conversation the whole time. Tip- look at the dessert menu ahead of time, we didn't and when we ordered the souffle we were told it takes 30 minutes. read more

I was looking for somewhere to go for happy hour and I found this place nearby. They have soooo many delicious options for HH. We got 3 different rolls, 2 orders of Ube chips, calamari, edemane, tuna tartare, spicy shrimp, lychee martini, and a Ube soufflé. The tuna tartare was to die for. I mean really, cooked to perfection. The best thing I had tonight. My lychee Martini was nice and smooth. Def felt a tipsy 30 minutes later haha! The service was also very very good. Forgot the bartenders name but she was very kind & patient with us! Also, the restaurant is very pretty as well. The only thing I disliked was the Ube soufflé. I love Ube and it caught my attention when I saw it on the menu. The bartender did mention it would take 30 minutes to make but I def don't think it was worth the wait. But other than that everything was great. I would definitely recommend this place to others! read more
