Couldn't remember name but has cucumber and is refreshing
Ana M.

This place rocks AND they have a daily happy hr. Atmosphere - so this isn't a very fancy joint, and it has a little bit of a hole in the wall.Type of vibe, but nothing is in disrepair, and it is clean. Parking this is a shared lot that we had no problems getting a parking spot at six p m. Food OMG yum, quality was these, super fresh. I think embarrassed in the other places around you.It's about the same price not including HUGE happy hr savings. Come here! Price 150 for bunches of sushi and two drinks each. Worth it.

Miso Soup
Sport S.

I recently tried this sushi restaurant for the first time and wanted to share my thoughts. I ordered some Miso Soup, a Beef appetizer, Escolar sushi, Salmon sushi, and the Pink Lady Roll. Overall, the food was decent. The Miso Soup was good, but the Beef appetizer didn't meet my expectations. It was overcooked, and the pieces were a bit tough. However, the sauce was tasty, and the dish looked nice on the plate. The Escolar and Salmon sushi were presented beautifully. They were cut well and of a good size. Unfortunately, the Pink Lady Roll didn't meet my expectations. The crab was chopped so finely that I could barely taste it, and I found it hard to find the avocado and mango as well. My husband ordered sashimi with Tuna, Red Clam, and Yellowtail. The presentation was impressive, and he enjoyed every piece. He said everything tasted great! Our server, Victor, was excellent. He was very friendly and attentive to his customers' needs. I never had to ask for a refill, and he frequently checked in on us. You can ask for him from Thursday to Sunday. Just call for his work schedule. The restaurant is clean, relaxing, and you can converse normally without speaking loudly. I will return, order other dishes, and give another review, hoping for more stars! Kyu is worth the trip, so please give it a try!

Such a great find in my neighborhood! I love the service here... Aubrey, she was our server, so pleasant and helpful and made really yummy recommendations. Our food came out tasting delicious and such good portions. I love this place! For birthdays, they will give you a deep fried ice cream complete with all the ensemble

The interior is nice and inviting and the staff is friendly and helpful. There is a TON of food to select from. So many choices and a very wide variety. We tried some of the appetizers such as the eggrolls, the veggie buns, and the salt and pepper tofu (which I especially recommend) as well as a variety of sushi. The food was good but a bit expensive. Overall not a bad choice for sushi.

My wife suggested we try it because I love sushi and she will tolerate something cooked of Asian heritage. This was our second visit. Never seems to be crowded, but always promptly greeted by the same young lady who does it all! Hostess, waitress and server. She is always very attentive and accommodating with a great personality. 4th star because of her! Sushi is consistently presented in a purposeful beautiful way. Sushi is fresh but lacks a bit of flavor compared to my favorite haunts in Houston.........my only reason for not giving them the 5th star. My wife does Bento Box selections and is always pleased with her food. The menu has everything from Japanese, Chinese and bit of Korean. Something for everyone. Food is good and worth a visit.

Dear lord I'm the happiest birthday boy on the face of the earth I ate two sushi rolls and enjoyed every second of every bite praise Jesus I made two happy plates.

A friend of mine recently recommended this spot to me; he enjoyed their sushi and appreciated their freshness. I can trust his word now hahaha We got their sushi boat, recommended by our server/owner himself (Tommy). Wow! We were stunned. My absolute favorite obviously was the salmon still; however, the toro amazed us. I didn't get a single taste of fishiness, which is hard to come by - especially when you order only sashimi!!! We got the one of only 2 sake bottles from Japan that they had - Ichinokura tarusake. It had such a crystal clear and crisp taste. My favorite still remains the Drunkin' Whale and Snow Maiden, though. The ambiance was cute and a good spot to go for a casual date or friends get-together. The service/servers can be a bit salesperson-y for their top-notch items but then the quality follows through so you'll leave feeling satisfied!

Grilled Pork Ramen
Emily B.

The absolute best sushi I have had in this area. Hands down. Unfortunately I did not take any pics on our first trip to Kyu, but we will be back very soon to update this review. Fresh fish! Great selection! My favorite roll was the 1488 roll, but seriously everything we tried was delicious. The ambiance is nice, and the restaurant was quiet when we dined near opening time on a Saturday. I found the pricing to be very fair and the menu was larger than most sushi places around. Our waiter offered suggestions and checked on us frequently. Japanese soda is available which is always a hit with my kids. Try Kyu, you won't be disappointed! Edit: here are a couple pics from our second trip. Just as good!

Nice place: Beautiful bar, Christmas music on, service was fast and attentive. I really liked being given the remote control to the TV, and changing the channels. Orange Dragon roll and Edamame with hot sake was OK. There was even concern about whether I'd choose regular or low salt soy sauce. Great Service. So why the missing star? I arrived during HAPPY HOUR. Nobody else at the bar, few at tables, but did not feel happy. I've said it before: I don't leave home to sit at a bar for efficient service. I can do this at home. I want FRIENDLY service; "howya doin' buddy? Life treating you well? How's the weather? You like New England for Super bowl?" Its called conversation. I got NOTHIN'.

Cypress roll

Visiting family. They'd been wanting to try this place since it opened A few months ago. We dropped by and we're so pleasantly surprised. They have a full menu with so many selections. A great mix of appetizers, soups, ramen, other selections and of course sushi Today was actually our second visit in two days. I guess we really liked it. Well maybe that's an understatement. We liked it so much we actually were craving more this second night. Last night we started out with the steam bun dumplings and another dumpling. Both dumplings were tasty and flavorful not gummy or tough. We then ordered the energy roll, the fantasy roll, the dragon roll, the Philadelphia, the soho, the energy roll. All were fresh, tasty and wonderful Tonight we ordered the dragon eggs appetizer and Yakitori. Both were very good. For sushi we ordered the Mexican roll a bit of jalapeño gave it a little kick. The Texas roll was flavorful. We then had the shaggy dog, the cypress, the crystal, and the energy. Each roll is as good as the next or the last. All of it is so flavorful with good bite and burst of flavor. I mean dare I say this is the best sushi I've had in all this area in all the years I've been visiting and trying different places. I actually have never gone back a second time to any of them. This is definitely a first, second and not last. They have a a drink menu that includes a variety of beers, wines and mixed drinks. They also have a great selection of deserts. Happy hour daily 11 to 6 and on Friday and Saturday from 9 to close. The staff is so friendly and efficient. The place very clean and unpretentious. I will definitely be back for more.

The front desk staff was incredibly ill-mannered and rude to my husband when he picked up our order; plus, the food was a 3/10

Here on New Years Eve to celebrate, and the food was fantastic! We ordered so much. My favorite was…read morethe black garlic pork ramen. My husband had the Rock n Roll, that was his favorite. The sushi is high quality, the rice is correct. I also had the salmon belly sushi and it was so fresh and tender. This is the place to go for top quality sushi in The Woodlands.

Today sadly was a 2-star visit. The regular staff we usually see on the weekend wasn't there. And…read morewe had a bone in our caterpillar roll. Ack. I showed our waitress and she said well of course there's a bone because they only use whole fresh eel. Bruh. I mean it's $12 for 3 pieces of tuna sashimi. I'd expect the food to be fresh at those prices. Then she quickly snatched it out of my hand and left. I did hear a soft sorry as she spun around. She went off to tend to other tables. But later in the meal I did hear her talking in the back with a man in Chinese about how a customer was complaining about a small bone in l their food. Guess she doesn't know I speak Chinese. At the end of the meal, I asked our waitress if she was the owner. She said no, quickly followed by a "the owner is not here today". Then I asked whether the owner was Chinese. Super duper long pause, followed by a soft spoken yes. Well, my favorite place in Memphis is also Chinese owned. I think many of the Japanese restaurants are. Ah well.

Erm... THE GOOD:…read more-The hostess was polite. We made a reservation for 6pm, and our table was ready & available early when our group arrived around 5:40pm. -Outstanding service from our waiter ("Tommy"). He was kind, attentive, and so courteous. He most certainly had the patience of a Zen master handling our rowdy party of 10 with a few rambunctious children. There was not a single error in our orders... It's refreshing to find good service these days when dining out, and Tommy was honestly such a gem. THE BAD: Sad to say, but the food was overall pretty low tier. Every sushi roll was wrapped sloppily, with mismatched shapes & forms, nothing aesthetically pleasing, and everything disastrously falling apart with the slightest nudge. The menu was elaborate - with pages upon pages of fancy names of dishes and interesting descriptions of each item. Enticed by the menu (and realizing it was also Happy Hour, woohoo), we sampled several appetizers & rolls. Unfortunately, there was nothing impressive about the taste of any of them. In fact, it was all disappointing compared to similar items found elsewhere... It was all practically grocery store sushi rolls with a bedazzled name, and most of it looked like it was assembled by someone who had taken a single sushi-making class off the internet. That, or they just didn't care. THE UGLY: -Some other turn-offs were rickety & unstable tables, which we remedied by propping the bases with chopsticks... -And, there was also questionable black-green goo (mold?) on the ice of one of our drinks. We were so thirsty, we risked it for the biscuit (after our kind server brought us a new drink), but I would think twice about ordering ice in your drinks here. So, shoutout to the stellar waitstaff, especially good guy Tommy. But, "Try harder," for the kitchen crew. With the disappointing (and questionable) food quality we probably won't find ourselves dining here again.

Came for happy hour which is 3-7pm. Lots of good choices for the prices. We had a new waitress but…read moreshe was awesome and sweet. Her trainer was great as well and let her do her thang but guide her as well. I like the low light vibe of the restaurant, romantic.

The quality of the offerings at Kokoro are undeniable…read more I came here for a quick lunch, and quick it was. Quick and incredibly satisfying. I have been craving two choice delicacies lately, and both are present, albeit in single precious bites, on this menu: bluefin otoro and A5 Wagyu. I ordered a piece of Otoro nigiri, a set of 3 hand rolls, and an A5 gunkan. My server suggested ending my meal with the Wagyu, and it was an excellent and much appreciated tip. First, to start with the otoro was a luxurious beginning to my meal. How I've missed this distinctive treat! Following the nigir was a succession of three delicious and wonderfully savory hand rolls. And the pièce de résistance, the grand finale bite of A5 did not disappoint. It was rich, fatty, and incredibly flavorful. The hot tea paired nicely with, and I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch in this smallish but stylishly simple dining room, which thankfully still felt spacious due to its soaring ceiling. Service was stellar, as well. Pricey? $58 before tip for lunch felt like a splurge. But it was absolutely worth it. And I see a few return splurges in my future.

Like always- everything was great! Service is fantastic. Music had the perfect vibe…read more Their maguro crudo is the perfect way to start your meal. Fish melts in your mouth and the crunch on top is perfect. The hand rolls are all good but their spicy tuna one is the best one in my opinion. You really can't go wrong with anything here.
