    Tonkotsu
    Tiffany H.

    3-3.5 stars overall Had some reservations trying Mao's Ramen, but decided to give it a go anyway. Nice interior decor / vibe. There's a TV screen displaying the menu near the entrance. An iPad/menu was placed in front of us once order was taken. Minimal AC & started to feel stuffy (worse especially when cooking in the kitchen). Service needs to improve. There's only 2 people up front but I think they also run the kitchen? Took 15 mins to get water after being seated. Bigger (chashu) isn't always better. Tonkotsu Ramen wasn't terrible, but wasn't memorable either. Plenty of chashu but lacked flavor. Soft boiled egg was plain as well. Nice of the place to give complimentary dessert, mango sago (a bit sweet). Can give Mao's Ramen a try once but wouldn't come back.

    Nice food presentation and portion size. Due to soft opening, the menu choices are limited. Will return to try other dishes. The fried rice was incredibly big portion and very good! Spicy chicken ramen wasn't spicy and chicken was bit salty, but overall still very good.

    Great ramen with rich, flavorful broth. The ingredients were fresh, and was prepared with great attention to detail. Highly recommend!

    I had lunch at Mao's few days ago and chicken ramen was really good and fair price, maybe just need a couple of more toppings.

I'm proud that they have servers of this caliber at Asian restaurants in Houston, TX. Usually you see professional servers at upscale restaurants. There was a busboy there towards the end, and even he was super professional. Whoever the manager is at this location, you guys are doing an outstanding job training the staff here. Keep up the good work! 2. Price - about $15/bowl. 3. Ambiance - The decor here is beautiful. There are natural lighting from the front, with wood panels everywhere, lanterns hung high. They did a nice job decorating the place and you definitely feel as if you're in Japan somewhere. 4. Food - This is where this place shines compare to all the ramen places in Houston. They have the option of low sodium broth. I took one sip, and it felt like home cooked Ramen. I'm not talking about instant ramen that you buy from the store, but the ramen made from scratch. I often go to ramen places in Houston and I dread going because I know how salty they taste. There are 2 other locations I have in mind in Houston that are also my favorites. But I would say this is not bad compared to the bowl of ramen I had in Narita, Japan. If you're wondering what I've ordered, it was the CHICKEN RICH RAMEN and make sure to request for low sodium. 5. Cleanliness - Dining area is well kept, clean, and the busboy is on top of things. The restroom is questionable. The personal restroom doors are hard to close and lock. For management, have a look at the restrooms and see if you can improve things. SUMMARY: I would definitely come back. It is just THAT GOOD!

    Did a spontaneous run over here but left disappointed…read more It was Thursday late afternoon, and it wasn't busy at all with plenty of seats left. Despite that, we felt like we were being rushed out. The server could clearly see we were opening gifts, so it's not like we were just sitting there doing nothing. Again, the restaurant wasn't busy. I thought it was pretty rude that he interrupted us to ask if we were ready for the check literally a minute after we finished eating. Then, as soon as we placed our cards down, he immediately grabbed the tab off the table. He also never checked in to see if everything was okay or if we were enjoying the food while we were eating, so it definitely rubbed me the wrong way when it felt like we were essentially being kicked out. As for the ramen, it wasn't as flavorful as I remembered. It felt like it was missing both spice and seasoning. It wasn't horrible by any means, but between the lackluster food and the customer service, I don't think I'll be returning.

    Hidden Gem Alert! If…read moreyou've ever done all you can eat sushi, you know sometimes the quality can go down. Not here. Every single piece of fish we had was incredibly fresh, high quality, and absolutely delicious. You can truly taste the difference. The owner, Sabrina, was extremely friendly and very hands on, which made the experience feel extra special. Our server was just as amazing. Super attentive, full of great suggestions, and incredibly helpful when it came to choosing new options. This was our first visit to the very welcoming Kamiya Sushi on 1463 in Fulshear, and it will definitely not be our last. You can count on this becoming a regular place for us. 10 out of 10. Highly recommend!

    I was in the area for business and stopped by the area. Noticed this restaurant and decided to stop…read moreby for a quick lunch without looking at the reviews - now I see it's either really good or really bad. Plenty of parking and the owner has put a lot of thought into their interior designing - very pretty and very Houston-like with the astronaut LED light. Now, that stops there. I thought it was weird that there was someone mopping the floors when it's usually done as part of closing duty. Nevertheless, that didn't stop me from dining in. As my server was getting my water, I can hear the manager screaming across the room at him to hurry up and to help customers (there was another group that came in after me). My server was friendly and nice. The manager, with her lovely grumpy face, just yelling at all the staffs. Very unprofessional of her when it's not even busy so don't tell me stress is a factor. Beef yakitori - 1/5. Beef is not high quality l, I can taste gamy beef. Sauce is not good but at least they cooked it medium like how I like it at about $9. Spicy salmon roll - first bite was good but second bite and thereafter, you can tell it's old raw fish. 3/5 for being passable at $7.50/roll. Snow White roll - good but they used frozen shrimp and you can tell. It's small and there's barely any shrimp inside of the shrimp tempura. Overall, not bad but for $14/roll, I expect better. 3/5. Spider roll - first bite, I can tell it's old. At $10.99/roll, I wasn't too disappointed I noticed half way that there's a hair sticking out of the spider roll! I patiently waited for him to finish cleaning up a customer's massive water spill and flagged him down. He spoke to the manager on duty. He offered to make another one. At this point, I really didn't want another one. It's a day later and I still haven't touched it. It took them less than 5 minutes to remake it. Manager didn't even stop by the table to apologize. She should have, as a manager, instead of screaming at all her staffs member. End of story, they only charged me for the spider roll that I took home. Will I be back? Probably never and I'm glad I didn't order anything else to try. If you really enjoy sushi and been eating sushi for a while to taste the difference, I suggest you to just go to HEB nearby for better quality sushi. If you want the ambiance then come here. By the way, the ladies bathroom is highly perfumed so if you're easily migraine/headache-triggered by scents, be fast. I know why they do it but at the same time, it was overly-done. Luckily, I just went in there to wash my hands but still end up with a migraine. 2 stars for my friendly server, Jose, and for the interior design.
