    Narcos drink
    Kevin P.

    This was a very unique experience for me since I usually don't go to speakeasy's let alone have a full course meal at one. The entrance was phenomenal and such a cool experience (won't spoil it but definitely go to check it out). We ordered a LOT of food- crispy rice, kimchi butter edamame, both of the baos, soup dumplings, salmon roll, pork belly fried rice, and ramen. Everything except for the ramen was absolutely delicious and the presentation was appetizing. The ramen was a huge disappoint, lackluster broth, clumpy noodles, and bacon for pork belly which was an interesting choice (understandably this is a modern Asian fusion so didn't mind it). Nonetheless, the drinks and the rest of the food were absolutely delicious and we had a great server who just made the experience 10x better and worth coming back to. The ambiance is dim but makes you feel transported to a different universe. It's dark and gothy yet still evoke a familiar feeling. This was a great experience and I would come back for a few apps and a drink or two!

    Came for happy hour. Nice atmosphere, great food and drinks. Bartender was friendly. I like that it is hidden and that you can enter by sitting on the spinning chairs or just walking in around the corner. The aesthetic of the place was pretty cool. I would recommend coming here.

    This speakeasy within a restaurant, Asian fusion tiki lounge is a whole vibe. There's a side entrance, through the restaurant, or if you want a bit more flair, take a seat, and let the wall spin you around into the space. So incredibly cool. The decor is over the top, the pink lighting is fantastic, and the leopard print on the bar, and the menus, is just fun. We sat down at the bar, so we could check out the happy hour drinks, and food specials, and were not disappointed. The bar seats are large, comfortable, and plentiful. The bartenders are great, super friendly, attentive, as are the servers who brought our food; and also checked in on us. We tried many things on the menu, from drinks to food, and everything was delicious. I started with a penichillin, a riff on the penicillin that was very tasty. I also had the old fashioned, with chai flavoring in it (well balanced, great depth of flavor), and the lychee martini (delicious, not sweet). On to the food. We started with the cucumbers, which are deliciously marinated, with great flavor. Then the kimchi edamame, which was a great riff on traditional edamame, great umami flavor, and some spice (but not overly so). Next the bao buns arrived, I had the pork belly bao, which was outstanding, generously portioned, and had some coleslaw that added even more flavor. Then the bang bang shrimp arrived, and this was one of my favorite things we ate - crispy, and bit of spice. The crab fried rice was exceptional, generously portioned with crab, and mushrooms in it. So good! We likely over ordered, as we had a lot of leftover food, but we really, really enjoyed it! Will absolutely be back when in the area again!

    Awesome little tiki speakeasy inside Voodoo Bayou. Since we got there the moment it opened, we were the only customers. So, the service was great! Haha The drinks are very uniquely hand crafted and worth the price. If you're in the area, def check it out.

    Love the speakeasy vibe. We ate in front and then went for drinks. Nice Asian vibe and tiki adjacent. Had the freaky franky and did enjoy!! Great liquor selection and love how you enter !!!!

    Had our first visit here and we'll definitely be back again really soon! Ashley G was wonderful and really attentive our entire visit. We had a lot of questions about different menu options and concerns about our allergies. She was very careful about ensuring that our food selections met our dietary needs and offered up suggestions of alternatives when needed. She also helped me to select a wine and offered me two different tasting options based on the kinds that I usually order. The atmosphere is super fun and the decoration is themed for a tiki room / speakeasy vibe. The chairs are made of leopard print and there are some animal themes throughout, notably the carpeted areas. I opted for the truffle edamame and the Royal roll, both were absolutely wonderful and I would order them again. Overall: A+ We've had this place bookmarked for a while and I'm super glad we finally got the opportunity to go here and we'll be back for sure!

    If you're looking for an intimate date night or cute girls night, then Roka Hula is for you. It is a cute speakeasy located inside Voodoo Bayou. In order to enter this beautiful establishment, you must sit in the two chairs on the wall while it spins you into another realm. The ambiance was literally to die for ! It was decorated exceptionally well and the vibes were vibing !! Our waitress was very welcoming and knowledgeable about her drink craft. She gave suggestions upon request and explained the reasoning behind each column of the drink menu. I ordered the kinky kitty which was very tasty. my friend order the el narco and the design along with side piece blew my mind ! For my entree, I ordered the Maine lobster sushi roll and my friend got the pork belly baos. Everything was a 10/10 !!!! I would definitely return to order the Maine lobster roll again. Reservations are HIGHLY RECOMMENDED due to the intimacy of the bar.

    Cheetah everywhere! Walls, menu, bartop
    Kimberly K.

    This place is everything that I am all about. I like the creative mishmash of everything from the cheetah print everywhere on the carpet, chairs, bar top, walls, menu to the colorful lights and plants. And to top it off the waterfall was the best part, hearing that water trickling down. Forget about the cool moving roundabout chairs to get in the place Drinks were on fire and service was prompt. Everything I can ask for in a swanky lounge. Definitely want to try some of their dimsum items They were out of the go go devil drink which was on the top of my list to try. The monkey business had a yummy banana flavor and the sweet honeydew drink were on the favs, followed by the balanced hell boy and freaky Franky - too tart for me There's no signage but you can find it inside, once you go in, by the entrance, of the Voodoo Bayou restaurant on the right. You can go through the switching walls with the cheetah, seats and roses background but you can also walk a little bit down and go through the hallways entrance - less dramatic but nice with the waterfall by that entrance

    Fantastic for celebrations or just to grab a bite. Incredibly fun atmosphere & a tasteful menu of sexy drinks, finger foods, & main courses. Love their fusion style of Latin mixed with Asian vibes. Very rememberable dinning experience. Will be back soon.

    If I could give this place 2,000 stars, I would! Great atmosphere, and even better food and drinks! They also offer a great happy hour by the bar.

    Santina R.

    Their drinks were incredible! Service was excellent! Their lobster sushi was incredibly tasty! The ambiance was super gorgeous and intimate, excellent for a date or girls night out!

    Devann C.

    Let me start off by saying this is a cute place for photo ops! I went on a Saturday night and it was very packed. I highly recommend that you make reservations. Our server was very nice and gave us plenty of time to look over the menu. The food and drinks were very good. I got the pork belly fried rice which was soooo good with plenty of rice! Overall this is a great speakeasy for a girls night or romantic date. I highly recommend and a will be returning.

    Nicole F.

    Was looking for a nice speakeasy and this one was so cute! The decorations was nice the music was good and the dim sum was delicious! We got the wagyu beef ones and of my gosh! And we had some drinks which were as well great! Overall a nice place to grab a drink and relax . Our server was very kind and helpful with options to pick from.

My Overall Rating - 2 Stars (Atmosphere, Food) Atmosphere - Seito Sushi Sand Lake is a beautiful restaurant. My first impression was great, as the modern décor and dark lighting gave it a very nice date night feeling. There is a long sushi bar with chill lighting and sushi chefs. There are square booths perfect for groups. And large, round orbital lights hang from the ceiling. This is a cool place. 1 Star. Service - While my first impression started great, it changed when I asked out server what I should order (I'm here as a tourist). He said their traditional items were great, and when I asked what they had that was traditional, he said the California roll. Uhh.... No Stars. Food - The sushi is very good, but you're in a resort area so it's very expensive. Dishes that were great and memorable: Beef carpaccio - the soft, tender beef was the highlight, but the real gem of this dish was the fried wonton chip that added great crunch and a little salt. The scallion tuna nigiri from the tuna tower (order this for your IG feed). And finally, the Hamachi crudo was a texture playground (Soft, crunchy, tangy, salty). My only other reservation was that it was very expensive. Then again, you get what you pay for. 1 Star. Will I Return? - No. I'm sorry, I can't return to a restaurant when my server's idea of traditional sushi is a California roll. Honestly, Seito Sushi is a very cool restaurant with a great menu. Just remember you're in a resort area so it can get pricey. No Stars.

We…read moregot there around 6:30 which was perfect timing because after seven the place got really busy. We choose to sit at the bar as it's open seating. my husband wanted the five spice chicken wings, and we were disappointed to learn that they've been taken off the menu. This is such a huge disappointment because that five spice dry rub was amazing. We ended up talking to the bartender and she said that they could do the lil sum sum (kids menu) wings naked and put the spice on the side. My husband chose to go that route (two order as there are only 3 wings an order) but thankfully, they actually tossed the wings in the spice, which was perfect. But we really do wish that they would bring back the actual full order of the five spice chicken wings as that was his go to when we went there and because that's not on the menu it may decrease the amount of time we go back now because he doesn't really care for a lot of the other menu items. I got the five spice green beans, which is one of my favorite items on the menu. I was surprised to hear that they had taken it off the menu for a while and that they had just brought it back. so glad that they did because that was the whole reason we had traveled out there and had they not been on the menu. There's a good chance we probably would've found somewhere else. I also had the Po Po Lau curry because it is another one of my favorite dishes.

The drink was good with some spices, but instead of a craft ice, they just used regular crushed ice, making the drink a bit watered down. For my food, they sadly no longer had the duck noodles, so I tried the CKT noodles (15 dollars) instead. They mentioned it would have a smokey flavor from the wok preparation, which I enjoyed. However, the noodles were quite chewy. The meats included shrimp, pork sausage, and chicken. The chicken and shrimp were enjoyable, but the sausage could have used a bit of a punch. I was able to get some sambal for heat, but it lacked flavor and it was a bit gritty too. At least there was an ample amount such that I could take some home for the next day. My server was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was the same. I did enjoy the audible music and crowd, making the vibe nice. I would definitely come back if the bring the duck noodles again, and maybe try another drink next time too. Overall: B-

This place has gone downhill from the past 10 years and I've been a local and a very reliable customer, but I wouldn't be surprised if they shut down sooner than later due to the lack of customer service and cleanliness of this place not to mention their bathrooms are disgusting. Another addition to show how clean they are with their ingredients that they put in your sushi and your food. Their garden is located by trash cans, filthy dumpster area and moldy air-conditioning units behind the back of the building where people walk through consistently, throwing trash behind there as you can see in the photos below. Best part of it all is they let homeless continuously sit outside in the front at their tables (without telling them to move, leave )eating other peoples food while all of us paid local and loyal customers have to look at that person from inside! Pictures of one of the employees going from the register to helping out with sushi with no gloves on. Expired sauces (esp mayo)left out in the open.
