    Service was great and you feel like you're at an exclusive event.The happy hour value is a steal for quality and price. The lychee martini was actually one of my favorites I've tried(it's sweet but tasty). I tried the 10 course omakase. My favorite was the bluefin akami nigiri. It was smooth and melted in my mouth. It had a hint of garlic crunch on top. I really enjoyed the crispy rice too it was like toast. The candy bar dessert was very unique. It as like mango cheesecake on top but also had a crunch from the white chocolate shell. The inside was a good date night spot or even eating alone. It was bar style in front of the sushi chef where you can watch them prepare everything fresh.

    Seafood isn't my thing but the wife wanted to check this place out. Reservations are limited to 2 people. We arrived about 15 minutes before the reservation and valet parked at the stand across the street on Grant. The valet parking is $10 unless you scan the QR code at the end of the meal. The room is a small room behind the main restaurant. The wife really liked all of the offerings from the set meal and the à la cart offerings. The meal ran on time and the staff was friendly and cleared the plates and refilled our water quickly. She is already planning on going back.

    My boyfriend and I came here to celebrate our anniversary and ordered the 10 course omakase. Koi was our server, and she was incredibly knowledgeable about each course, offering helpful tips on how to best enjoy everything. The 10 course meal left me surprisingly full. Every dish was delicious, and the fish was fresh, buttery, and melted in your mouth. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a great dining experience.

    This omakase experience was amazing. I've done many omakase this is probably on my top 3. Came here for an anniversary dinner 7:30pm on a Saturday. The seats were filled and the ambiance and environment of the restaurant gave very modern Japanese. The table top is made out of copper and the way seating is makes this a very intimate dining experience. Everything was crazy good. Each bite builds the more you chew. The ingredients used tasted very balanced and intentional.

    part of the Uchi family and honestly so good! Right when you stepped in the vibe is intimate with dim lighting. I got their $50 happy hour omakase and it was so worth it! I wished I had ordered more off of their à la carte menu! Service was prompt! Fish quality is amazing! It is a quick omakase with 60 minutes per seating! I will definitely come back!

    I paid $50 for a 10 course omakase for happy hour that not only met but exceeded my expectations. It started out strong with flounder, which is a personal favorite of mine, but it got progressively better with each consecutive course. I honestly don't know how I could pick a favorite out of all the courses. They finished with a homemade candy bar and honestly, I've never been a huge fan of the Uchi brand's desserts, but this was far and away my favorite dessert that I've had from them. The only thing that I wasn't crazy about was the lychee martini as I've definitely had better. Even if you make a reservation for their happy hour Omakase, you can still order other à la carte items, and they recommend you do so at the beginning of the meal. Location-wise, it's basically across the street from Marmo, and when you enter the little opening from the street, it's the door on the right. It's not super easy to see the writing by the door when it's not bright out. I was fortunate enough to find a parking spot on the street instead of valet, because I despise valet. Service was OK--some employees were more personable than others, but that's to be expected anywhere. I will definitely come back and hopefully sooner than later.

    This was my very first omakase at Oheya in Montrose and it truly exceeded my expectations. I was previously very fond of sushi and would stick to rolls and simple nigiri as I was comfortable with them. I was amazed at just how fresh and intricate the flavors of everything was. I'm a sucker for ambiance and I loved sitting next to strangers while surrounding the chefs at a simple and chic bar. The paper fish donning our names was truly the cherry on top. The chef and staff were very attentive and guided us through the entire experience explaining the ingredients and the best way to consume the pieces. I am very excited to return again when the menu is rotated.

    Finally !! Reservations after 1 month. If you are looking to get seatings for Happy Hour Omakase be sure to book ASAP for 5-6 PM. Omakase is for 60 mins, 10 courses for $50. Be sure to order your a la carte once seated. We order a few nigiris and of course their delicious Brussels sprouts. Drinks are really good, choose from Lychee Martinis or Kara Kyoto for $6. Everything was delicious, fish was fresh and drinks was amazing. Lighting and music was on point so you definitely get a romantic atmosphere. I didn't feel rush and when 10 course was done, I still had 15 mins to order more drinks or a la carte plates. Must try and will do again. Looking at $100 per person tonight and no regrets . Left feeling full and satisfied!

    I absolutely loved the sushi here! Service was top notch and the atmosphere and setting was so intimate and unique. The restaurant looks kind of like a wood cabin from the outside. I went during happy hour, so 50 dollars for the food was a great price point in my opinion especially for an omakase. There is plenty of parking in the garage nearby. I can't wait to come back!

    Another great night at Oheya! Wonderful food and great service! Calm ambiance with some relaxing but upbeat music. All the food was wonderful and impressive! 10/10 One of the fav dishes of the night was the dessert!

    i am so happy that i chose oheya to be my first omakase experience. their dinner service is flawless!! the plates are beautiful, flavorful, and decadent the chef was kind with a great sense of humor! i did the 15 courses and it did not disappoint! i was satisfied with the 15 courses but my undeniable lust for the dry aged fish got the better of me and i could not help myself!!! oheya, means room in a house. the restaurant is nestled to the right in the uchi building. the lighting is soft, the vibes are cozy. there was no dress code and everyone was dressed hi-low end, so no worries on being dressed to the nines or coming in after work. the staff are inviting and attentive regardless of attire. will definitely be back for happy hour bonne appétit

    Perfect for special occasions! You truly cannot beat a $50 10-course , 12-seat Omakase. Chef Justin and his team were all very skilled and personable. The space is very small. Try the sake

    It saddens me to write this review. I am a diehard Uchi fan. I have been coming to their Houston for years and previous enjoyed their Austin location. I even enjoy both Uchiko locations. However, I was not impressed with their separate Oheya omakase. First off, it's a bit weird, not much signage outside so we ended up entering through the main door and crossing back over. We booked the 5 pm on a Saturday and we were the only ones to dine. That in itself was a bit sad to see. But I've been to other omakases where it's just us and you end up getting a good experience with the chefs. Nope. They were very quiet and got very little Info about the dishes we were having the presentation on most of the dishes were lacking as well. I've gotten more explanations from my server at the normal Uchi. There was only one of three that even said anything to us. The one waitress was very good with clearing plates. It was $120?/pp for 12 pieces? It wasn't super high but not a single dish was impressive and the dessert was down right bad. I would stick to normal uchi moving forward.

Upon arrival, I was told that I could not sit at the sushi bar and eat. If I wanted to order I had to go sit in the common area of this dining hall. After this discussion, I said fine and asked for a menu. They then told me I had to get up and order at the register and view the menu glued to the counter. They took the order of a couple who sat down maybe 2 minutes before me in front of me. I will never come back to this place. They seem to be the last man standing in this dining hall, and with this kind of customer service, they won't last much longer. It's a shame because I love the food and I am a regular at handies and aiko as well. Won't be back to any of them.

The vibe was moody and lightly lit, and the restaurant was busy with people celebrating. I ordered the sunomono, maguro crudo, salmon and king crab hand roll, and signature nigiri. The hand rolls were probably the best thing I've ever had, I even ordered an additional spicy tuna hand roll because I wasn't ready for them to be over. My sister even ordered another flight of nigiri because it was so phenomenal. To finish, I ordered the ube sponge cake, which was the perfect little treat to end the night.

The walkway was a pretty bamboo forest haha. Aside from the ube espresso martini, everything else was delicious and good! I recommend Aiko and would dine here again.

    GENERALIZED REVIEW:…read more Came here with a friend from theatre after a full run--he had this place recommended to him by another theatre friend, so we're just passing on the word. The plaza was a bit confusing to navigate, and I'm pretty sure if the place weren't full of Asian parents and their kids, it would've felt like the shadiest place ever because you have to enter from the back. Otherwise, the plaza had a lot of great-looking stores overall. My first go-to: I've loved drinking Kirin Light ever since I discovered it in Chicago. The flavor is literally so light, with a slight acidity that brightens up my meal. The sake here was frankly also delicious. I didn't order it, but my friend did, and they had it warmed. The flavor was soothing and subtle, almost like tea. It was exceptionally easy to drink, and the ocean-themed ceramicware was a beautiful touch. We ordered two rolls: the Shaggy Dog and the Truffalufagus (a fun tongue-twister). I personally chose the Truffalufagus (which is not fun to spell) because it seemed like the most unique dish on the menu, and I enjoyed it very much. What I liked most about it was that it was subtle yet impactful. I also loved the textures--from the internal crunch paired with the fresh jalapeño to the softness of the fish. I'm glad I gave this roll a shot, and I would be excited to try it again anytime. The Shaggy Dog was great, but it appealed less to my flavor profile. It was a little too rich and creamy for me. I recommended this place to my BF as a potential future date spot--I personally think he would like it... if he weren't the type to enjoy AYCE sushi so much. If they had more unique rolls, I would definitely come back just for those. I was tempted to order the Surf and Turf for this round, but I didn't want to seem like a glutton, hahaha.

Also had to highlight their house made soy sauce which was extremely umami, very unique and sets this place slightly apart from the many other sushi joints in its range Truffle crab chawanmushi was certainly a top highlight for me as well - rich truffle oil with the perfectly light steamed egg and sweet crab chunks, just an incredible dish and I could have easily eaten several of these The uni was also extremely fresh and buttery and was nice even for someone who doesn't usually like uni In the same class and range as places like Kata Robata and I would say it's a strong rival! Would come back again!

    Started off with Toro Amaebi Tartar which was interesting the taro chips mixed with everything…read moretasted light and creamy with everything mixed together. The Chawanmushi was decent but it was a little different than I expected. It had a little bit more liquid at the top of the egg custard. The flavor was fine nothing overpowered and it was soft and had that gelatin mush to it. The carbonara udon pasta was creamy and tasted exactly how I imagined it would which was smooth and creamy with a little crispiness from the pieces of bacon. Just make sure you mix the egg into the pasta to give it that rich creaminess. The only dish I would say that was underwhelming was the crispy rice. I guess my expectation would be a little less rice and a balance of the crispy rice around it. It reminded me more so of a thick fried outer crust. However, I did like the fish and meat they used on top of the crispy rice. They all had their own flavors. The Handroll tasting is probably the most interesting dish I ordered. It seemed to have a good portion of fish and they try to keep the seaweed nice and crispy by leaving the plastic film over the seaweed. The flavors of the Handrolls were subtle. They did make a nice presentation. The salmon flight was pretty good you definitely could tell from the different cuts and fattiness of the salmon. My favorite was the aburi cheese the scorched cream cheese gave the salmon a melted coating of cheese and made it silky and smooth. The nigiri platter was almost like a flight of nigiri. In the order I ate them they got progressively better. My favorite was the scallop and tuna. The only roll I tried was the royal chutoro. The portion was a good ratio of rice to fish and the tobiko gave it a slight crunch. as service and parking. The parking costs $10 and it's only Valet. If you decide to park on the curb somewhere you will get a parking ticket (I saw a guy placing tickets on cars). The atmosphere was upscale and you can tell they try to emulate Japan with the decor(zen inspired). Overall, the fish was tasted fresh and the vibes were there. However, I do think everything was a bit overpriced compared to competitors.
