    Sad to see y'all closed. Your food was delicious! Closing leaves a huge empty spot in my restaurant rotation

    Viva Restaurant - J2. Fried Calamari with Salt & Pepper

    This restaurant is very consistent and never fails to impress me. The restaurant is clean and…read morespacious. The servers are attentive and friendly, and they make sure that your water glass is filled. The garlic butter chicken wings are simply spectacular! The chicken wings are ginormous, the batter is light and crispy and the garlic butter sauce pairs so well with chicken. The salt and pepper squid was piping hot and the batter was also light and airy, and the calamari was cooked perfectly. The beef was pricey but absolutely worth it! The waiter asked how we wanted the cook on the beef, and the beef was a perfect medium rare. The meat was so tender and flavorful with an excellent char and the sauce was so flavorful. I really appreciate the abundance of vegetables that come with each dish and the portion sizes are quite generous. My diagnosis: come here for perfectly executed Vietnamese staples!

    Wow I was very impressed. I'm sad that I didn't discover this restaurant until fairly recently, but…read moreI've been here twice and both times were great! The food can be a bit pricey ($35 for bo luc lac, for example) but flavors are great overall and the service is also really good! It's not super high end in terms of decor but certainly well above average and pretty nice compared to the standard Vietnamese restaurant. (For example, yes to white table cloths, but they are layers of plastic.) My quick rapid fire recommendations: 1. Chicken wings - they are absolutely ginormous, amazing flavor, and totally worth the price though they seem expensive on the surface. 2. Fried calamari salt and pepper - delicious! I can't quite describe it ... a hint of funnel cake batter flavor? There's something quite special about this one and it's quite tasty. 3. Shaking beef (bo luc lac) - amazing! Ask for the beef to be medium rare as opposed to medium. Dip those beef chunks into the lime dipping sauce and oh my... you're in heaven. The service is also top notch and not your standard Asian restaurant level. Located off West Little York, close to 290 - it's a hidden gem in Northwest Houston not too far from the city. The space is bigger than you would expect so it's also great for large parties if you can reserve the space. Enjoy!

Had a 8pm resy but grabbed a seat at the bar....took a while to be waited on, but once we were, the service was so stellar, it was worth the wait! His name escapes me.... Shout out to this sassy waiter that barked at zaddy, who had asked for soy sauce, for addressing him improperly--guess bae shouldn't have assumed. The star of the show was definitely the whole fried fish--even if you're not a "fish person" please get this! Delicate and tender on the inside and light and crispy on the outside! The wings are also a must have! I would've liked for the skin to remain crispy--even while doused on the yummy sauce. The brisket fried rice brought everything together, but we wondered if the brisket actually showed up? Maybe it was playing dress up--Casper, the friendly ghost? Virtually invisible! Would've been nice to have more! I don't know what my fellow yelpers are talking about when they mention everything is salty here. It was all salted perfectly! I'm elated this place came across my radar! Until next time!

The miso black cod was buttery and perfectly glazed, the toro nigiri melted in my mouth, and the wagyu gyoza were crispy, juicy, and addictive. Even the sushi rice was seasoned perfectly. What impressed me most was how consistent everything was--each plate looked beautiful and tasted even better. The flavors were bold but balanced, and the quality of the ingredients really stood out. Jason was our server and he was really nice. Yes, it's a splurge, but it's worth it. If you love excellent Japanese food, Kuu is a must-try.

My friend and I went around 7:30pm on Saturday and were excited to try their menu. The interior has a darker atmosphere with light music in the background. We ordered the HRW set and the appetizers came out beautifully presented, we wish there were more chips to go along with the tartar. The wagyu/unagi hot dish was deliciously balanced and so tender, the scallops were cooked well but they were served on a bed of okra so there was no contrasting texture. The wagyu roll was so unique with the fried dough in it, the poseidon roll was fresh with citrus notes. I would totally order any of these dishes again. For the service, I was here on Friday (8/27/26) around 9pm as well and our server was lovely and so attentive to my table. She made sure to describe our dishes to us and was pleasant to interact with and was lighthearted. The server we had on Saturday was probably one of the worst servers I have ever enocuntered. She was a middle aged Asian woman and made us feel like we were inconveniencing her by being there. She did not introduce herself, never asked if we had any questions and would just drop off our food and walk away. She showed no hospitality whatsoever and if it was my first visit there, I would absolutely not go back just based on service. She was cold, unfriendly, and in a mood. I know some people have bad days but this felt off... if I were to encounter that same server again, I would ask to immediately change.
