We've been coming here as a family for a while, so trust me when I say the food is ALWAYS amazing--but when they catered my son's high school graduation party?? They did NOT come to play. The food? Soul-healing, plate-licking... They handled everything flawlessly, and the setup matched the restaurant's elegant vibe . It felt upscale, warm, and just... special. Our guests are STILL texting about the food and asking, "Wait... where was that from again?" So yes, it's a hidden gem ... but honestly, they deserve all the shine! Thank you!

The Saturday morning crowd was not out yet but soon would show up. We had a great table, middle of the restaurant and Caleb helped us out. He was very nice and took care of us. Ivory also came out and greeted us. We chatted a bit about how we liked the food. We got boudin balls with fries. The fries were amazing, just regular fries. The boudin balls needed a little work but Ivory was very receptive to feedback. Mimosas were good too. I had the cranberry, it came in a carafe. We finished 2 of them between the 3 of us throughout our meal. I ordered the shrimp and grits. Grits were excellent, shrimp was a little salty but if I mixed with the grits, worked out well. We had the endless catfish and amazed that it just kept coming. Also ordered a special priced wing and waffle dish that was 2 wings and a waffle, a little snack. By time we left, all tables were full. Make reservations is my best suggestion. I will go back. I enjoyed the food.

Throughout the planning process, Lionel was always quick in responding to questions and helpful in guiding me to a rental company for a beautiful dinner table set up of fine china, crystal glasses and sterling silverware. His menu options were perfect for my husband who can be a very picky eater. My husband and I are big foodies and have been to most of the top restaurants in Houston, Lionel's cooking was as good if not better than the best in town. Every course was absolutely delicious! The mussels were perfectly cooked, the caprese salad couldn't have been any better and everyone's filets were cooked spot on. He made a carrot purée that we have been talking about for days! On top of the amazing food, Lionel himself was as personable and friendly as he could be in addition to being extremely knowledgeable about the food he was serving. Each course came with an explanation of the ingredients and where they were from. I hope to have Lionel back in my home again soon and will be recommending him to everyone I know in the Houston area. I've only had one other private dining party and Lionel's food was wayyyy better than that. Thank you, Lionel!

Even though I told him my parents weren't the most adventurous eaters, his dishes were unique takes on classics.

When my parents had to cancel the original weekend due to an illness preventing them from traveling, he was most gracious in allowing us to pick another weekend. It's the little things that go a long way. If you're looking for a high end, custom meal, complete with beautiful dinnerware and a Chef with a great personality, Robbie is your guy.

In terms of personal taste, the cold smoked hamachi, scallop and bluefin tuna are some of the most outstanding and affordable pieces I've had anywhere. As someone who doesn't shy away from the 8-piece salmon sashimi set at Kroger when an insatiable craving for sushi hits, I find hamachi and bluefin tuna to be more difficult to find in a non-sit-down-fancy-sushi-restaurant setting. Kaisen changes that. The combination of smokiness with the butteriness of hamachi is soothing. The bluefin tuna is garnished with a tiny dollop of salted scallions that elevates the experience. The scallops have a subtly sweet flavor that I don't always find even at fancy sushi restaurants. These are my favorite scallops I've had in recent memory. I am usually a salmon toro over salmon person, but I actually prefer the salmon here at Kaisen. The toro cut is a bit thicker/chewier without much more of the signature fattiness and smoothness in salmon belly that I typically look for. Please try. You will not be disappointed.

The pricing was also fair. I tried the tuna in the otoro and chutoro cuts. My favorite had to be the chutoro it had a nice flavor and a melt in your mouth after effect. I also tried the scallop which was buttery and smooth. There were a few other things I tried too like the tofu roll, inari. That was sweet tofu skin filled with rice. The other items I got were the hamachi crudo and a few other assorted items. I don't think there was a bad item in any of the sets. My favorites were the tunas.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to see her in action, first-hand...until now and WOW! Our school was having a food truck themed summer camp, which is a very popular camp that sells out every year. The kids create their own food trucks, starting with learning the behind the scenes of starting a food truck, such as logo design, menu design, a shopping list and then they build their own truck and cook some samplers from their menus. We have real food trucks come out for the kids to see, but this year was even better because Chef Shelby came into our culinary kitchen and gave our students and teachers an experience that they will never forget. From the start, she was very communicative and full of ideas on how she could create this experience for the kids. We provided the space and she and her team took it from there and made the rest of the magic happen. She gave a lesson to the kids about kitchen safety and how to create a menu to kick off Food Truck Camp. Then, she came back later in the week and made flat bread pizzas from scratch by modeling each step and assisting the kids as they made their own. She and her team were punctual, organized and very professional! The teachers and kids had a blast! Let's not forget to mention that she still made this experience possible even with dealing with the after effects of Hurricane Beryl!
