I honestly never gave it a chance because of that. I visited here to eat somewhere new and also away from the other AYCE down the hwy. I was a loyal fan of the other place but this place blows its competition out of the water. They do not charge for substitution of seaweed for soy wrappers or charge for the removal of things like cream cheese. You can't ask for "free" sashimi by asking for no rice on their nigiri but that makes complete sense. The AYCE lunch menu is massive and it was hard to choose what I wanted to try. Steven made great recommendations based on our likes. Each roll was extremely fresh and the sushi rice was pillowy soft. I definitely plan to visit again soon.

Stopped by on a Saturday around 1pm, and the restaurant was pretty much empty yet it took about 10 minutes to be greeted and a few more minutes to be sat. (Table for 2) Once sat we waited about 15 minutes before being able to order waters. After about 40 minutes after arriving we were finally able to order our food. We chose the $45 menu and here is what we got - Garlic Edamame: 7.5/10 Fried Pork Gyoza: 9/10 Chicken Karage: 7.5/10 Vegetable Spring Rolls: 7/10 Spicy Cucumbers: 100/10!! Spicy Pork: 8/10 Umakara Yaki Beef: 9.5/10 Umakara Ribeye: 9.5/10 New York Steak: 8.5/10 Bistro Hanger Steak: 8.5/10 Overall the ambience was nice and the food was good, just the service at this location was a complete miss! Would try again, just not this particular location.

The cooked buffet items were below average- looked dry & not at all appealing. I tried a few items and they were all subpar. The individual hot pot (shabu) was great. They had various soup bases and many fresh meats, seafood, and veggies to cook in the hotpot. Desert consisted of 2-3 fruits, 3 flavors of ice cream, and 1-2 cake-type sweets. Customer service was great; facility looks clean. Go there for the hot pot but do not expect the hot, cooked items to be any good.

Tasted fresh, plenty of condiments and the right amount of sauce. Comes with avocado, cucumber, seaweed, lettuce. I think for price point its quite good. Presentation was great but that bowl was way too stuffed. Difficult to even attempt to mix so pick your poison I suppose. Would have liked a bigger bowl / taller bowl so I could mix it honestly 72 hour beef spicy miso ramen - 48 hour pork bone worth with miso, beef chashu , bamboo, sweet corn, green onion, kikurage, and a soft boiled egg - I was impressed! I'm quite harsh on ramen especially after visiting most of the ramen shops here in Houston. I found this dish to be quite different which is a great compliment! Most ramen places source pretty much the same broth packets and all honestly mix in with each other in my opinion. This was uniquely more different and I enjoyed it! Plenty of flavor, great serving amount, I tried the non spicy (had the spice on side) and tried my friend's spicy (spice mixed in with broth in it's entirety) and can say the spicy one was great. Would recommend this dish! Overall I was pleasantly happy with this place and would go again!

I proceeded to enjoy a very strong whiskey flight (which means a lot coming from me), a seaweed salad that was a bit too crunchy or stiff, ikrua don, crab croquette and some admittedly super sticky, gummy, shrimp dumplings...like would not separate from the steamer paper sticky. While the offerings were not my cup of tea, the place is beautifully decorated and seems to fill up around dinner service so it may be worth the stop if you're in the area. Everyone was very nice and I always appreciate a spot offering jellyfish, takowasa, and takoyaki in Cypress. Next time I'll try the ramen, and hopefully report back with a new perspective, fingers crossed.

It was…read morequick, easy to understand, despite me being so anxious at first-- as I'm not the type to eat out often. Then, after I've given my detailed order, I gave the time to look around on my table. It was dark wood, with warm lighting that complimented the restaurant's aesthetic. The music choice was odd, but it was subtle in the background. It was clean, well kept, a little loud-- but that didn't stop me from enjoying my time there. Now the food, I ordered JINYA Tonkotsu Black (no garlic chips, no fried onion, or spicy sauce.) I've had my fair share of ramen, different shops, cheap, homemade, expensive. But I couldn't remember how long it's been since I've had such soft, velvety broth in my bowl. The noodles were excellent, cooked to perfection, and the meats were just as tasty. Although, I do wish the seasoned egg had a bit more flavor to complement the jammy yolk in the center. Nonetheless, I ate until I couldn't, and ordered a dessert.

Unfortunately, our latest server made the overall experience a completely different story. Her attention seemed to be devoted more to her phone and chatting with coworkers than to the customers she was supposed to be serving. After taking our order, she practically disappeared like Houdini. Even after our food was delivered, she never once checked on us to see if everything was okay or if we needed anything. Need a water refill? Forget about it. We had to flag down other servers just to get basic service while our assigned server remained behind the counter, apparently having a more important engagement with her phone. And when it was time to pay the bill? You guessed it...we couldn't find her anywhere. Not even her shadow was available! At that point, I was beginning to wonder whether we had a server or simply a person who happened to take our order and then vanish into thin air. It's a shame because the food and atmosphere deserve praise, but service is part of the dining experience, too. One inattentive server can seriously undermine an otherwise beautiful establishment. Management should take note, because customers come for the food and ambiance, but they also expect to be treated like customers--not interruptions to someone's phone time. Five-star food and ambiance, but unfortunately, the service was nowhere near five-star quality.
