The food has been amazing every visit, and everyone I've brought here has loved it so much they've come back on their own. One thing I really appreciate is that every server, no matter who we have, always asks about food allergies. It's a thoughtful touch that helps ensure everyone can enjoy their meal without worry. The drinks are always delicious, and their Happy Hour menu is easily one of the best in the Heights. This spot has become one of my favorites, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for great food, drinks, and outstanding service.

On my visit, I didn't order any meat- I ordered the kinoko bowl (variety of veggies over rice)…read more I like how the vinegary veggies contrast with the Korean scallion sauce. The carrots and the bell peppers offer a nice crunch in comparison to the soft mushrooms. I would order it again. They were able to make a rice bowl taste delicious and flavorful without meat, so that tells me their other food items must be delicious. You order at the counter and they bring your food to you. You pick up your own drink and utensils.

Went here for some birthday lunch, they have some cool deals and discounts like cheaper prices…read moreafter 9pm, senior discounts, and birthday discounts for the whole week, so you don't even need to try and show up the day of. The meats were very tender, especially the ribeye. You also have the usual selection of raw seafood and veggies in the center buffet line. They also have a side line for hot foods and jelly desserts. Service was excellent. Our waiter Jun was very attentive and friendly, explaining every detail to us during our first visit and always coming by to check on us. They had some technical difficulties with my cooker, so they even gave me a 20% discount just because it was taking a bit longer to boil at first. I would definitely come here more often if I didn't have to drive to the opposite side of town.

A bit on the pricier side but there are plenty of not-as-budget-breaking options. We ordered 2 dozen oysters. They were very fresh. We also ordered a New England Clam Chowder, a Seafood fra Diavolo, a Fatty Beef Creamy Rice, and a Curry Pork Katsu omelette rice. We definitely needed a to-go bag but we wanted to try a lot! I'd go back again to try some new options. Overall pretty solid place with nice service, and food came out piping hot and quickly.

Not sure what happened. The quality of the food and has really gone down since my last visit. We…read moredropped in for a late lunch, party of 2. We ordered: Hong Kong milk tea - good, no complaint Chicken wings - arrived after our entrees. It looks delicious but was bland, really lacking flavor and undercooked. Uni pasta - I loved it the last time I had it. This time, not so much. The noodles were still al dente but the sauce was too thick and sea urchin was overcooked. I didn't really get to enjoy this dish! Sizzling Steak - we asked for the sauce on the side. But the dish was not sizzling and the plate wasn't even hot. The steak was tender, noodles al dente, but the sauce lacked flavor as well. I couldn't really tell what sauce I was dipping into. Service is fine, considering there was only one waitress and only two other small parties while we dined. Unfortunately, I think this would be my last trip here, considering that the one dish I crave from here, sea urchin pasta, no longer tastes right. So sad.

My friend and I came here on a Wednesday afternoon and there was nobody inside the restaurant…read morebesides us. The interior is a little narrow but there's a decent number of seating available and the Halloween decorations were so cute! We ordered from the Kiosk and got the following: Grilled Pork Banh Mi Old School Bahn Mi I love how the bahn mi's come with chicken pho soup and rainbow chips! It took around 15 minutes for the food to be ready and we took it back home to eat. I enjoyed my grilled pork banh mi! The meat was a little too salty for me but the flavor overall was decent. I enjoyed the chicken pho soup and the rainbow chips were satisfying. My friend got the old school banh mi and said it was good but nothing extraordinary. Overall, this is a good spot for some banh mi if you're in the area and want some side dishes to complete the meal. Looking forward to trying other items on the menu when I come back next time.

We came here for the food and did not try any of the drinks…read more The Banh Mi was very good - a 5/5. It came with pho soup. They ran out of rainbow chips during our visit. We also tried the Grill Pork Rice Box. It was just ok. The price was decent, but portions seemed rather small. 3/5. Since this place was famous for the Boss Lady Fried Chicken, we ordered this to go as well. The chicken is big. However, it's not as tasty as our benchmark place in Bellaire. The place is quite tiny - there's inadequate seating for any party larger than two. Also, there are no restrooms for customers.

My friend and I wanted some Asian food for a fun Saturday night out, and since neither of us had…read morebeen to Loro before, we decided to give it a try. The food looked incredible in the reviews, and it really was! However, we were expecting more of a traditional Saturday night dining experience with waitstaff, so we were surprised to walk in and find counter service and a fountain drink machine. My friend initially wanted to leave, but I convinced her we should stay and try it since neither of us had been before. I'm glad we did because the staff were very friendly and helpful, and the food did not disappoint. That said, the self-service setup could use some improvement. The process for getting water and dinnerware wasn't intuitive, and we weren't sure where to go or what was available. We ordered the shareable Edamame appetizer, which was delicious, but it didn't arrive until after our entrées, so we had to ask about it which was disappointing because we wanted to nibble on that before the main entree. Interestingly, another table that was seated after us received two or three shareable appetizers soon after being seated & before we received any food at all. When our entrées arrived, we also realized we didn't have any cutlery. We were seated on the patio where there was a nearby station with napkins, spoons, chopsticks, one knife, but no forks. Since we didn't want to eat our bowls with chopsticks, we had to figure out where to get what we needed. For a Saturday night at 7:30pm, this felt like a lack of preparation. I think Loro could significantly improve the experience by having ONE clearly designated self-service station with everything guests need - water, napkins, forks, knives, spoons, chopsticks, etc., and having staff briefly explain the setup to first-time guests. That small change would make the experience much more seamless. Now, the FOOD! My friend ordered the Shrimp Bowl and I had the Steak Bowl. They may not look like much, but WOW, both were incredibly delicious and satisfying. I also tried the Frozen Beverage Flight, which was such a fun treat and a great way to sample the different options before choosing a favorite for the next visit. Despite the service-flow hiccups, the food was excellent, the staff were friendly, and I'd definitely come back. I just hope the self-service experience becomes a little more intuitive because Loro has some seriously good food!

RB has been a staple favorite for over a decade since I was introduced to it! Food never fails…read moreeven when I try new dishes. From the orange peeled beef to the sesame chicken everything is a win at this place--TRUST! I would say the service has shifted; before Covid servers would come and do this magical trick where your choice of protein & rice is undone right before your eyes--it used to be my favorite (especially for families or friends who are sharing entrees). Ambiance has always had that Cyberpunk feel (as my husband mentioned to me over and over again). Never a dull moment here, but I do wish for more... servers forgot my sweet & sour sauce when I paid for it too ‍ hopefully they get it together in time For all the tourists visiting in the next few weeks!

I haven't been to this spot in years. I forgot how good this place was!…read more Music is always popping here. I came in on a Friday night, and they had a live DJ playing. The music is a mix of EDM, Hip-hop, Rap, and R&B. They have tables and bar top seating. If you have a bigger group, I'm sure you can find a table depending on the time you arrive. There is a lot of seating. To start off, I ordered the Matcha Martini. It was STRONG omg, definitely a sipper, but it was so good. It was creamy and had a good matcha flavor. I love how they added matcha powder on top. For drinks, I also tried their espresso martini and Bubbly Pineapple. The espressos here are good, no complaints. The Bubbly Pineapple is so cute; it comes out with a bubble of smoke you can pop. The drink is very refreshing; it really tastes like pineapple. FYI, the drink has little black seeds, so if you don't like textures in your drink, maybe this one isn't for you. Also the drink came with a little frozen pineapple you can add to your drink once you pop the bubble As an appetizer, I got a dozen raw oysters and decided to add the $5 tobiko (fish eggs). Let me say, they were not stingy with the Tobiko, there was so much on my Oysters, I mean a lot! The oysters were good, and so was the tobiko, but I feel that with so much tobiko, it kind of took away from the oysters. Still good though, especially for $21 for the dozen with the tobiko! It was very filling I'm not gonna lie, I got pretty full with the oysters, but I still had to eat my entree As an entree, I ordered the Short Ribs, which came with rice and a side salad. I didn't think I was going to eat much of my entree since the oysters had filled me up, but I ate the short ribs down to the bone! Every single one of those ribs I devoured, no meat was left on my plate. I didn't have space to eat, but my stomach made space for this. 10/10 would recommend the short ribs, especially with the delicious sauce it came with. I think it's like a fish sauce 10/10 for food and drinks. Bonus: the staff here is really friendly. I really enjoyed my time here. I need to come more often for sure, this is definitely a Katy gem

Had no reservations anywhere on a Friday night but called GiAu Bar n Bites & they said come on in, we don't get our crowd till late night. It was fairly empty at 7:30p but by the time we left at 9:45p there were a few more ppl. Funny thing is, the age of most customers was 40-60s. The music is pumping loudly with no DJ but at 9p the DJ came in & took the music up another level! I think the older folks come out early & likely the younger people take over after 10 or 11p. ( I won't be able to confirm that theory cause I'll be home by then!) Food & services were good as usual. The bartenders do a great job check them out!

First up, we had the Pork & Shrimp Eggrolls. Chef kisses!!! Once we smacked down on these deliciously crispy eggolls, we know that rest of the food was going to be just perfection. Yep!!! For me, the Spicy Korean Shrimp Fried Rice was definitely a hit. They brought out on a beautiful rectangular black plate that was an elegant presentation. Not only was this plate was long, but the portion size was more than plenty. You'll have enough for dinner or to share with someone. Next, the hubby had the Spicy Korean Chicken Fried Rice and he add broccoli. Remember what I said earlier, options! There's nothing like a hot delicious and plentiful meal. This is the JOINT!

First of all, Friday night, sure I expect it to be busy, I also (as a previous server AND bartender) expect 2 servers to be able to handle about 10 tables. It's not even that fkn big on the inside to be waiting 10 minutes for just WATER. Terrible management if you also can't anticipate that you'd need more than 2 servers for 10 tables. I didn't even get to eat at this location, I just left. I had my baby with me, it's taking 10 mins for no water, it's gonna take forever for everything else. Not only that, the server literally went to the table that came after us to greet them before us. So no greeting, no drinks, no water, like atleast thanks for bringing the highchair. Btw I also saw 2 dudes get up from their table to refill their own drinks. Nice ambiance, very small on the inside.. so small but 2 servers can't handle btw. Do what you want w this information, I would prefer sushi masa over this bs anyday.
