I have tried sushi all over the world. This is my favorite spot! Try the Vinegar Mussels

The CiCi roll!  Just awesome! 12.00 on the happy hour menu

I love this place so much. Been coming here since about 2000. Happy hour until 5pm. Get a CiCi roll and the hamachi Kama

Came here for lunch Thursday afternoon with co-workers. I ordered the pork egg rolls and the Harikari rolls. I enjoyed the egg rolls as they came out hot and fresh and had a nice crisp to it. The meat inside was good but could've had just a tad but more seasoning for me. My Harikari roll was pretty good too. I forgot to ask to leave off the avacado so that was my bad but the their version of spicy mayo (which was pretty darn spicy) took the roll up a notch.

This is our favorite sushi restaurant in Clear Lake. Their food is so good and servers are friendly and efficient. We no longer live in Clear Lake, but we make it a point to eat there when we are in town.

Oscar roll and Cajun tuna sushimi

Service was lovely, although sushi was falling apart a good bit and I thought it was alright for the price. Tuna was expensive almost $5 for those two small pieces. Overall a little overpriced, ended up being $25 total for the roll and tuna.

Tokyo Night Roll + 3-pc salmon (sake) sashimi

Came here right after the tropical storm hit. I was honestly surprised that this place was even open considering, but I'm glad that they were. Came here last minute after deciding I wanted sashimi and they sat us relatively quickly. I've been here before, but it was awhile back since. We ordered quickly since we knew what we wanted and we were straight to the point. I got the Tokyo night roll and salmon sashimi. My sister ordered the miso soup, rainbow roll, and salmon sashimi as well. The salmon sashimi was fatty and tender, just how I like it. Dip it with a bit of Wasabi and soy sauce- and it is pure bliss on your taste buds. The Tokyo night roll was beautifully made and surprisingly spicy! I've had spicy salmon before and they were never truly spicy, but this definitely had a kick. It was a pleasant surprise because I do expect spicy salmon to be, well.. spicy! And it definitely was. It was clearing up my sinuses that's for sure. I really enjoyed it though. It had salmon, spicy salmon, and tuna for the raw fish and avocado. It all came together deliciously and I enjoyed it very much. Probably my go-to roll now for when I come back. Nonetheless, this place did not disappoint and satisfied my sushi craving for sure. It wasn't too terribly expensive either. I highly recommend this place to anyone in need of some great sushi!

I've been coming to Tokyo Bowl for over a decade now, and much hasn't changed--which I'm totally content with. To summarize, Tokyo Bowl has some crazy bang for buck when it comes to their sushi rolls/maki/speciality rolls. The flavor is quite amazing and needs little to no soy sauce. Not into raw? They've got plenty of cooked options, too (even rolls). Continue for more details: Outside of sushi, their cooked menu seems a little underwhelming, but when you have banging sushi, naturally everything else kinda pales in comparison. Their menu Includes a selection of Bento boxes, tempura, fried rice, yakisoba, and donburi (rice bowls). Nigiri options are quite expensive compared to neighboring restaurants. You're looking at $3/pc on average. If I ever go again, I'll make sure to give my 2-cents on their nigiri and sashimi. Atmosphere and Service: The restaurant has a really cool wall of fame. Most portraits are of celebrities and astronauts that have dined with them--autographed, of course. The place is small and the same goes for their sushi bar. It's got a dark and romantic atmosphere, but the layout and tables are usually crammed pretty tight together to accommodate more customers. Tonight, however, due to COVID, tables seemed properly spaced apart. Service was quick and check-ins with our server were frequent. Water was replenished. Good overall experience. It seems they work more as a team rather than relying solely on one server, so that helps. COVID: Tokyo Bowl was strictly takeout during the early stages of COVID and must have resumed their dine in experience around the beginning of June. I have no news on what their plans are now with the "resurgence." Hand sanitizer is provided. Servers wear masks. Patrons are asked to keep their mask on unless eating. Recommendations: 1.) Chips Loin (Sushi Roll) - I absolutely cannot go without getting this roll. For me, this is the roll that put Tokyo Bowl on the map. Again, serious bang for buck. In comparison to it's more extravagant brothers with colorful toppings, it falls more on the simple side. It's got a great crunchy texture and a nice tang from the spicy, creamy mustard drizzled over the top. The pieces are cut thin and the roll is a bit fragile, so pick it up using chopsticks pointing vertically downward rather than from the side. I recommend little to no soy sauce for this bad boy. 2.) CiCi Roll (Sushi Roll) - Like something a little more raw? Fewer crunchies, more fish. I believe they use a tuna tar tar on top of the roll. 3.) Unagi don / Unaju don - A cooked option. Freshwater eel over a bed of rice. Lots of it. Eel sauce is something like a thick teriyaki sauce.

Food: 4.6/5 Service: 4/5…read moreAmbiance: 4.5/5 Overall: 4.5/5 Even after being to (almost) all of the big AYCE sushi places in this area, Ohayo Sushi is probably still my favorite. Overall, it maintains the best quality from dish to dish and rarely fails to disappoint quality wise (obviously it won't be like a la carte quality, but it is lowkey close). I think their weakest aspect in restaurant quality is actually the service. I do like the use of the iPads to order, but sometimes there are just times where we won't get entire rounds of food until like 30 minutes later. Another issue I have is their soy sauce bottles, which have like a 50% chance to be sticky whenever you pick them up. Lastly, and this is with all the AYCEs, their fish is either a hit or miss on that particular day (personally, I like ordering just a few of each to try for fish quality before ordering like 30 the second round). Enough of the negatives, this is still really great. I love their steak hibachi, which is usually perfectly cooked and tender, offsetting the flavor of sushi after a few rounds. The salmon and fish roe are so addicting and I like enjoying them with the squid, seaweed, and crab salads. The soups are all pretty good and none of them have an off-putting flavor. All of their specialty rolls are so plump and filled. Another thing I like about this place is the ratios of ingredients in their specialty rolls. Other than the fried rolls, I feel as though there's always the perfect amount of rice and wrapper compared to the other ingredients, which is often hard to find in AYCE. This place just has their flavors down really well and is definitely the most well balanced and flushed out AYCE in this area.

While I'm no stranger to Ohayo, this was my first visit since they introduced iPads for ordering…read more My dad and I arrived around 6:00 p.m. and were not surprised to see the restaurant completely packed. We were initially told the wait would be about 20 minutes, but it ended up being closer to an hour. Once we were finally seated, ordering through the iPad was simple and convenient. The sashimi and hibachi dishes arrived quickly, while the specialty rolls and fried items took considerably longer because of how busy the restaurant was. To get the most value out of an all-you-can-eat experience, I usually focus on ordering sashimi. My favorites were the salmon, yellowtail, and eel, all of which were fresh and enjoyable. The spicy scallop sushi was the standout of the entire meal and easily my favorite bite of the night. We ordered a wide variety of dishes, and that was the one I kept going back to. The steak hibachi was solid, with well-seasoned meat and generous portions. The fried oysters and crab rangoons were both crispy and cooked well without feeling overly greasy. The specialty rolls were good too. While none of them particularly stood out, they were all enjoyable and well made. Overall, there was not a single dish that I disliked. Even with the much longer-than-expected wait, the quality and variety of the food made for a satisfying all-you-can-eat experience. If you plan on visiting during peak dinner hours, I would recommend expecting a wait, but once you're seated, there are plenty of options to make the meal worthwhile.

To summarize my review before it begins, Masa is now my destination if I am craving sushi and Japanese food. The atmosphere was elegant, which makes it stand out from other surrounding sushi restaurants. We started off with cold sake and Ahi Poké Nachos, which were crispy and delicious. My friend and I split Sushi Combo C, which features 20 pieces of assorted sushi with California and Spicy Tuna rolls. The sushi was very fresh and skillfully made. The Tamago was freshly made with the traditional chopstick method. This was the best sushi I have had since I dined at Nobu in Las Vegas. Our companions had the chicken katsu Bento Boxes because they wanted an assortment of things to try. The tempura battered shrimp and vegetables were lightly crunchy and delicate. After dinner, the four of us had a round of Ninja Drop martinis, which were tangy and sweet. The owner, Michael Zhou (pronounced "zjoe"), came over to say hi. He encouraged us to try one of his favorite items, the Ahi Tuna Tartare, which was spectacular. To finish, we had a couple of bottles of hot sake alongside some yummy mochi ice cream. Our experience was amazing. Our server, Jordan, took great care of us, and we all had a great time. I was looking for an elevated experience, and I got exactly what I was looking for and more. I can't wait to eat here again and try other things on the amazing menu!

I enjoyed the food. Service was excellent and the atmosphere was very nice! I will be back to try…read moremore dishes!

Okay so we are so back. If it wasn't obvious enough, I come here too often and just haven't updated…read moremy review. This place continues to be my family's top hot pot spot, even after going to many locations in the greater Houston area simply due to the soup bases being so incredibly strong and the selection of ingredients always being top notch. The only things I have food-wise about this place are the following: 1. I think the meat selection is often inconsistent. Sometimes I will order the number 3 and 4 and it'll be really good, and other times it will be hard to eat. 2. I think that the noodle selection is missing like a handmade and hand pulled noodle. The closest thing currently is the lo mein, which I really like, but I'm still wanting more options. 3. Often, the sauce stations will have some empty bottles on the side, which is often inconvenient since I tend to add most if not all to my sauce. Other than that, the service this time was much better and much more on top of it. I will most definitely head back here again and again. Like I said in the beginning, WE ARE SO BACK!

Great selection of meats! Very tasty! Very fresh vegetables and the seafood was fresh and taste…read morewonderful. My true favorite of hotpot is the fresh vegetables anyway! I did try all of the meats and it was a lot of food but every cut was great! Nice open restaurant with plenty of seating and arranged so you feel as if you have your own space. The only reason I dropped it by a star was that there was only one person waiting on a large portion of the guests. She really tried hard and this is not a knock on her. But even though it was a slow night she struggled to keep up at times. I would have given it 4.5 if I had the choice.

I was a bit skeptical after hearing mixed reviews from my friends; they either love it or hate it…read more I waited for the hype to die down before trying them out. Started off with the new Sakani Crudo, and wow, I think I need to order this every time now. I just love the salmon & crab combo.

We started with the Salmon Crudo and Scallop Crudo, and both were outstanding. The Salmon Crudo was my absolute favorite. The garlic aioli with the fresh salmon was phenomenal, and the hint of lemon zest tied everything together perfectly. It was one of those dishes where every bite makes you pause because it's just that good. The Scallop Crudo was equally delicious. The tamarind ponzu sauce was incredible--bright, flavorful, and the perfect complement to the sweetness of the scallops. We also ordered the Salmon, Fatty Tuna, Scallop, Tuna, and Lobster hand rolls. Everything tasted exceptionally fresh, but the Lobster Roll stole the show. I couldn't resist dipping it into both the scallop crudo sauce and the garlic aioli from the salmon crudo, and wow... those combinations were absolutely incredible. I may have accidentally created my own perfect bite! What impressed us most was how fresh every piece of fish tasted. Nothing was overly complicated or covered up with heavy sauces. Every ingredient had a purpose, and the quality really spoke for itself. If you're looking for incredibly fresh sushi with creative flavors that enhance--not overpower--the seafood, Koyo is absolutely worth the visit. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Texas.
