    Went here on business and am so happy that this was the place for dinner. Service was excellent, drinks were excellent and food was AMAZING! The place was nicely designed with softer lighting, comfortable seating for parties of all sizes. This is a must visit...again and again!!!!

    I been coming to this place for a while, lately the service has been awful. I set close to the Bar, I had probably one of the worse waiters of my life. Extremely rude and unprofessional. I gave him 5$ tip just out of respect. Regardless it was probably the worse service I had received in many years. I am probably never coming back.

    Visited Houston for a day on business, Sage 400 was across the street from the hotel thought we give it a try ! We enjoyed the atmosphere grab some appetizers and sushi and the combo rice is a must have with truffle oil let's just say I was sad when we finished it all. The staff was so amazing I get why they have so many regulars coming in.

    Miso Chilean sea bass and a lychee martini

    The Chilean sea bass was amazing as always! We enjoyed an early dinner for my birthday. It's a must every time we visit Houston.

    This place hit all the marks-- service, ambiance, and food. I had just driven straight in from Dallas for work over the weekend and was worried I was too underdressed for dinner. Not at all. They seated me swiftly and gave me a menu. They have really elegant sushi selections here. I ordered the Sunset Roll. The waitress kindly gave me info as I ordered-- "Just an FYI, this is cucumber-wrapped, no rice" and that my upgrade to the crab was an extra $12. The blue fin tuna was really excellent. I liked the way the truffle vinaigrette smelled. It was such high quality after my Buccees binge the 8 pieces was enough to satiate me. I'm coming back to try a cocktail tomorrow night.

    So tender, so fresh, great service. I received my dish quickly..miso soup was flavorful and great temperature. Waiter was very kind. The sashimi is the best texture and taste I've had in a combination in a while. Lunch hour was buzzing but still able to get a table. I'll keep this place on my list to come by again.

    OMG! The Chilean Sea Bass with miso glaze was perfection! Also ordered the truffle edamame which was good, miso soup with clams which were a little sad/small but good soup base, side house salad which was not worth while (I would skip next time). Service was excellent and quick! Perfect ambience.

    A coworker and I sat at a high table in the bar area. The service there from Johnny and the other bartender was Top Notch. They had some homemade blue cheese olives for my Tito's Martini. Drinks were excellent and on time. We started with the Spicy Edamame, and I'll just say, it's pretty spicy, and I like that, but some folks might think it's a little much. We shared some appetizers: The Seared Pepper Tuna Roll that came out like a rose. It was killer, amazing flavor and presentation. The Miso Chilean Sea Bass appetizer was the feature of the night. It is possibly the best Sea Bass I've ever had. Absolutely killer. Pretty good size for two to share as well. We had a few roll recommendations and for the life of me I cannot recall the names. One had a tempura shrimp on the inside, and it was incredible. The other alternated sashimi on top, with the Salmon and Tuna alternating, and it was incredible. I would go on a vacation to Houston just to eat here. The atmosphere was excellent, the service was top notch, and the sushi and Japanese creations were some of my favorite. Well worth the time to eat here.

    Why I don't come here more often, I don't know. The food is always great as well as is the service. The vibe a little more hip and adult-ish. Perfect for a date night.

    Visiting this place for dinner while in Houston a business trip. The restaurant is in a shopping strip, but when you go inside it becomes an experience. It is obvious they took care in design and ambiance. The place is dimly lit, with a unique bar design that seamlessly blends into the overall look & feel of the place. I ordered the SAGE roll (8 pieces)--spicy tuna, fresh salmon, and avocado outside, topped with green onion, Serrano, spicy mayo, chili paste. Be sure to give it a try it's delicious. I also enjoyed a glass of Sauvignon Blanc "Whitehaven", it is popular and complimented my Susi well. In the mood for good sushi, check'em out.

I can't not wait to come back to Katy to experience more of what Akiko has to offer. For some people it could be very overwhelming as you don't know where to start. Now for me...I was a little intimidated at first but after asking the waitress what she suggested...she steered me to a few rolls and items I should give a try. And I opted for a few items off their $7 menu of fatty salmon and tuna which both melted in your mouth. I was sad they didn't have ocean perch a single as I really wanted to try a new fish. I also, grabbed an order of spicy edamame as I have to have some veggies when I dine out. The roll I finally decided to get was I can't remember the name right now, but had all my favorites: salmon, tuna, and cream cheese. I also had nigiri yellowtail as I can't go eat sushi without having my yellowtail fix. I really wish I had (3) stomachs as I wanted to try a few more rolls. But after the Cabernet Sauvignon (3) glasses and the nigiri rolls I had I was too full to consume anything else. I can not wait to come back because it was so much more to partake and try that I know I will have to make at least 3-4 trips to go through the entire menu.

The restaurant was dimly lit, which created a great ambience. My partner decided to go for the omakase which consisted of 18 dishes. We started with cold dishes, followed by nigiri, and lastly red meat. The pace was perfect and the dish progression was great. The individual dishes were bite sized, so if you are a big eater, you will need more food after. For me, the quantity was perfect. However, the greediness in me just wanted to try their uni pasta, and truffle Wagyu rice. No regrets! I absolutely loved the omakase and would recommend that for first timers at the restaurant. I would recommend making reservation as the restaurant gets crowded during peak hours. You can go for valet parking or self parking at the garage behind. You will be charged for parking at the garage, however parking is validated. Remember to ask the hostess about it before leaving the restaurant.

We ordered the oysters, grilled oysters, chicken wings, nigiri, spicy edamame, and gyoza. Everything came out great. They were, however, not the best so I would not want to pay full price. My favorites were the chicken wings with its super crispy skin and sweet but savory sauce, and the oysters you can't go wrong with. I also got the lychee martini which was decently strong. The location is in the River Oaks District shopping center. There is free self-parking in the garage not too far from Azumi itself.

Salmon: Super creamy thanks to the sauce. 3. Maguro: Also creamy from the avocado. I personally do not prefer avocado in my hand rolls, but it was still good. 4.

The service was professional and very warm. They only offer counter seating (no tables), which was fine for a group of 3, but may be challenging for larger groups if everyone wants to mingle. I'm very glad I gave them a try. I will definitely be back when I move to Houston in a few months!

At that point, our daughter woke up, so we hoped to continue dining in as originally planned. I politely asked the waiter if we could finish our meal there. We didn't expect him to continue serving us--we simply wanted to sit and eat the food we had ordered. I had already tipped him on the to-go order. His response was blunt and shocking: "No, you have to leave. The table was given to someone else for a 7:30 reservation." There was no attempt to find a solution or offer an alternative--just a direct order to leave. This was a Thursday night, the restaurant was not busy, and there were outdoor tables and other seating available. We felt incredibly insulted by the attitude. When we spoke to the manager, he simply repeated that the table was reserved and backed up the waiter, without suggesting another table or even asking us to wait for the next available one, until we brought up the point that he could have asked if we have an option to wait for the next table?? Then the manager went ok do you want to have another table just because we asked. What stood out most wasn't the reservation issue, but the complete lack of hospitality, flexibility, or basic courtesy. This experience spoke volumes about the customer service here, and unfortunately, it's the reason we won't be returning.
