    Chicken Sandwich
    Brian P.

    Toga is an amazing place to get some small bites! My girlfriend and I shared a few plates and we both got full still. Their happy hour menu is actually insane, they have some good items on there that I didn't see on the regular menu. I'm not exactly sure when happy hour is but I came around 5:30pm on a Thursday. We had the tuna carpaccio (MUST), wagyu burger (DO NOT skip this, it's $15 vs $26 during happy hour!!), Toga Chicken Sandwich (I loved this as well as a chicken sandwich guy), mushroom don, green beans, and a chicken skin skewer. The mushroom don was actually a pretty big bowl and it's very flavorful. Not earthy, but it just tastes well with whatever ingredients they use to mix it in. Green beans were okay, I think we were told it's a new item they were trying out but they were a little salty imo. The skin skewer was very fatty and I liked it, but it was small. The things you cannot skip: The tuna carpaccio is a top-tier menu item that tops other restaurants. The wagyu burger is super juicy and flavorful - like I said don't skip this during happy hour. The chicken sandwich was very crispy and perfect especially the meat. The bun was a little harder than I expected but nothing that changed the taste it overall. I would say don't skip on this either! Our servers were super friendly and we appreciated their vibe. Very welcoming and we'd like to say we'll definitely come back again in the future!

    After recently trying both Oru and Kira we were excited to try out the restaurant group's newest spot, Toga. We had a reservation for 2 people for Saturday night at 7 pm and arrived a touch on the early side. They were able to seat us right away which was lovely. After doing my research on previous reviews I had decided we were going to get the burger and the carbonara but after a well placed recommendation from our waiter (who was great) we made a pivot. We tried: -Pickle Plate: This was a little too salty for me and probably the only thing I wouldn't order a second time. -Chef's Selection Yakitori: The meatball was the best of the 3 but we enjoyed the wing and the breast as well. -Wagyu Burger: Believe the hype, this was an outstanding burger. Cooked perfectly and messy to eat but in the best way. -Mushroom Don: Our waiter did not steer us wrong, this was indeed delicious. Chock full of mushroom and umami flavor we were very happy we ordered this. Our only mistake was not coming into this meal with a larger group. We already have plans to come back with friends to try the tuna carpaccio, carbonara, katsu curry and dessert torrija.

    I had a good experience at Toga and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys having a little bit of everything. The highlight of the evening was definitely the service. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to guide us through the menu with thoughtful recommendations, which made the experience even better. Overall, it's a good spot with excellent service, and I'd be happy to return.

    Toga you killed it. Last minute Thursday date night at 7:30pm. Got there and it wasn't too crowded but by 8:30pm it was vibing. We got a bunch of things to try. Miso soup was amazing. Served in a handmade ceramic cup chicken stock based which was super deep and aromatic. Tuna carpaccio which was amaaaaazing. Great toast points, classic but with an amazing wasabi mouse. Agadashi tofu which is one of my wife's favorites. We got the fries which were super crispy with amazing garlic and spicy aiolis the breast and BBL yakitori. The BBL was the winner. We ended by splitting the Katsu Curry spicy and sweet and super tender pork cutlets. Wish we had space for dessert! Service was amazing. Thoughtful and kind and engaged but not pushy. Ambiance was relaxed and easy going. Will definitely be back!

    Wagyu burger 10/10

    Lovely new dinner spot; casual, lively, and just cool enough to feel like a treat without being stuffy about it. No pics of this because we were too busy enjoying ourselves, but hands down the yakitori is the star of the show, highly recommend you start there. The udon carbonara was a touch salty for my taste with the miso and pancetta combo, but we still ate every last bite lol François took such great care of us and made the whole evening feel extra special. So happy this place exists in our neighborhood, my husband is already planning our next drop in!

    Checked Toga out Friday night. Experience was 10/10. Hospitality was top notch! Constantly checked in on how we were doing which I appreciated. Enjoyed all the dishes that we ordered. My favorite was the mushroom rice bowl... OMG YUM! Chefs special Yaki is a must try and their Crudo with Leche de Tigre - which brought tears of joy to my eyes. Ambience was great - minimalist artsy vibe. Parking ample. Will definitely come back to try the other items my stomach unfortunately didn't have room for tonight.

    3/6/26-Michelin Man? More like Michelin...maaaaaaan…read more.. In good Mel and the Doctor fashion, a rough week equates to "let's go have a great night." We get dressed up and venture to Le Jardinier. While we were super excited and ready for a great Friday evening, we checked in with an unwelcoming hostess. Mind you, this is our first impression since we have never been to any of the locations. He asked the hostess if we would be seated close or after our reservation time (that would determine if we would have a drink at the bar), we received a condescending toned response of "you can have a seat and I will work on getting a status update on that." Duly noted. A few minutes later we were told we could go to the bar to only then be escorted to the table. So we will look past that "weirdness" of initial service and get ready for a stiff drink...the bartenders know what they are doing! Martinis were the name of the game and they were perfect. Just perfect. The prefixe and wine pairing was the game plan. But before the fun stuff, came the bread service. Bread was more than bread, it was warm savory pillows with the perfect butter. Made a crumbly mess while tearing up the bread basket, expected table crumbler service, after, nothing. For Michelin, we expected the fine dining cleaning in between each course. The service was odd, and the servers seemed cold. The kanpachi and the scallop of the prefixe were Michelin. Overall, we might give it another shot, maybe it was a bad day...but still grateful to get in last minute due to rodeo season. Let me know your experience!

I took my wife here last year and she loved the place so much that she couldn't wait to come back. She literally called the restaurant "perfection" in her own Yelp Review. Of course, that meant we were going to make repeat trips here, even though with all the restaurants we have around Houston, I prefer to continue trying new venues. This year was a complete 180 from last year. They seemed to be either overbooked or understaffed, probably both. We were waiting a while for our table, but a trendy place during Houston Restaurant Weeks having delays isn't surprising, even if we had a reservation. The waiter apologized for the delay, saw we were looking at the HRW menu, and took all three course orders at once. We really thought that it would speed things up, but the exact opposite thing happened. It took well over 30 minutes to get our first course, which was the berries parfait. It's literally just yogurt, berries, granola, and honey in a bowl. Unlike last year, where the ingredients were carefully portioned, it seemed like this year they were all just hastily dumped into a bowl and brought out to the table. Regardless, it still tasted pretty good. About 50 minutes after we ordered, we asked the waiter about the status of our entrees. He let us know that the kitchen was behind. He sounded frustrated. We never saw him again; he completely disappeared and while we thought we saw him around, he never stopped by our table. We proceeded to see random people running items from the kitchen out to various tables. They weren't the waiters covering those tables. I'm not sure if they were kitchen staff, managers, dishwashers, or what. They all seemed frazzled and rushed. Of course, none of the food was coming to our table, but we clearly won't the only ones encountering delays and poor service. At about 70 minutes, and now no waiter, we gave up and went to the host table. We asked to cancel the rest of our order and offered to pay for what we'd already received. The host went to get a manager, but another lady came out letting us know that the manager was tied up facilitating in the kitchen and was trying to offer alternatives to us leaving. My wife was ready to leave, but I saw one of the random employees drop two plates at the table we'd abandoned. I suggested to her that it might be better to just finish our already-delayed meal rather than waste another hour going to another restaurant, ordering, and waiting for food. The lady at the front said she'd "take care of the bill." The food that was brought out was a disappointed. The duck confit was clearly rushed through the cooking process, but was still pretty good. The shrimp and grits were a complete miss, though. They clearly didn't have time to get the flavors they wanted, so they just dumped a bunch of garlic butter into the dish and called it a day. My wife couldn't finish her meal so we swapped entrees midway since the excess butter was making her miserable. The same lady (I'm guessing an assistant manager) kept offering us drinks. We made it clear we didn't want mimosas, so they started offering coffee. I don't think they were intending to come off pushy, but after a miserable 80+ minutes, it felt that way. Finally, we agreed to a couple of coffees with dessert just so they'd stop suggesting stuff and let us enjoy our food. The desserts were... okay. Just like the appetizers and entree, they seemed to be hastily assembled and lacking the flavors we'd expect. My wife seemed suitably happy with the Strawberries Melba for dessert, but my chocolate pot de creme was... bland. I've worked in hospitality before and I know that "I'll take care of the bill" means different things at different places, but this is the first time I've ever encountered-- as an employee or as a customer-- where that meant we were issued a bill for the full amount of the food we ordered, despite the fact that we nearly walked out due to the horrendous service. The only items that were "comped" were the coffees that we didn't even want. My wife had previously made it clear to me that she wanted to come back here regularly, so as we were walking back to our car, I suggested this was just an extreme off day and next time would be better. This time, she made it clear that she'd be okay if we never came back again. Honestly, I can't blame her. I'm leaving the second star on here because the first experience was so good. All I can say is that this place is no longer the amazing location that we experienced in 2024.

    TLDR: Worth a visit if you're in the area?…read more Wow! Hidden gem? Forgotten favorite? I don't know, but after tasting the food, we have to get the word out about this spot. Arriving around lunchtime on a weekday, I had the place to myself which allowed me a unique opportunity to take the place in. That being said, this spot is not overly French cafe themed, but instead a classic suburban strip mall spot with nods to the French peppered throughout the menu and decor. The booth area is well-designed, the spot was clean and the table touched by light so after a great experience chatting with the cashier I was crossing my fingers, hoping the food matched the vibe. I had a crepe Mexicana (because who has ever heard of that?!), a croque monsieur with tomato soup, and a dessert crepe because y'all know I always save room for dessert. It took a minute to be prepared, but I'm willing to wait for a fresh made meal. Everything, was delicious. Crepe texture was on point, and each crepe was stuffed to the Gods. Positive experience all around. My tip: Order the tomato soup and finish your meal with the following combo- a dessert Crepe Almonds with strawberries. Trust me on that one!

Such a lovely restaurant, with two slightly different vibes depending on the day. Sundays are more lively with a live band, while Saturdays are a bit more relaxed--but still busy. I definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time. My only small note from my most recent visit was that it felt a little warm inside. I get it, it's Texas and it was a hot day, but I wouldn't have minded the AC being turned up a bit more . Now for the good stuff, food! I've tried a variety of items and have yet to be disappointed. Some standouts: French Toast (5/5): One of the best I've had. Thick slices, no eggy taste, and the crème anglaise with fresh berries are the perfect adds. Lobster Tacos (5/5): More like a lobster salad packed into crispy mini taco shells, the perfect little bites. Shrimp Tempura & Caviar 4/5: Tried this most recently and loved it. The batter had the perfect crunch. I also recommend the Rosé all day punch (not on the menu, but ask your server - it's a frozen berry ball with sparkling champagne and rosé) breakfast potatoes and sausage, salmon entrée, and even the french fries. The service has always been great. On my most recent visit, our server was especially awesome. They were very attentive, polite, and gave great recommendations (especially for mocktails). There are several options for parking including valet, street parking, and a garage. Valet runs around $6-$10, street parking is metered (I paid about $6 for two hours), and the garage was free and really easy the last time I went. Overall, this is a spot I'll keep coming back to and recommending again and again. Looking forward to trying even more of the menu next time!

Four basic drinks - Tito's & club soda - came to $97 before tip. Nothing about the experience justifies paying nearly $25 a drink. It certainly feels like Toulouse used the World Cup as an excuse to jack up prices, and if that's the case, it's a pretty shitty way to treat your regular customers. Houston locals are the people who kept this place busy long before the tourists arrived. I don't mind paying premium prices for a premium experience. I do mind feeling like I'm being gouged. There are too many great bars and restaurants in Houston to justify coming back here.
