the food and service was great!! i really enjoyed my server she was very attentive! will be coming back!

My crew and I got here around 1:25pm which is a perfect time for us to sit, order, and eat without having to wait. We maxed ordered sashimi and Kobe sushi; added steak hamachi (it's really teriyaki), along with soupss and a few other appetizers. We kinda tore through all the food that was brought to us. I'm I'm including a couple of videos which we will title "Epic appetites" Service was great Food was great Ambiance was good Easy access and plenty of parking since it's in a big plaza area. Closer parking is limited but a short walk on the side and behind the restaurant are plenty. My fifth or sixth time here and my crew's 2nd read more

There are so many AYCE sushi around town, and Umiya is another one of them that's actually good. This Umiya is located on I-10 between Chimney Rock/Wirt and Bingle/Voss, in the same large shopping center as Loves Dumpling House & Home Depot. I stopped by for an early dinner for two on a Saturday evening, so the restaurant was not too busy at first. The ambiance was dark but beautifully decorated, and the service was great. The price was reasonable at $32.95 per adult for the AYCE dinner, but A-La-Carte options are also available if you choose not to go with the AYCE. There are so many dishes to choose from in the AYCE menu, ranging from soups, salads, appetizers, tempura, teriyaki, hibachi, noodles, rice, sushi/sashimi, rolls, and desserts. The rolls and sushi were super delicious. Some of my favorites included the Shaggy Dog roll, the Seared Scallop, and the Cowboy Roll. The shrimp hibachi and the tamago sashimi were also really tasty. The only things that weren't so great were the steak fried rice, steak teriyaki, and the salmon teriyaki; those were so dry and tough, especially the steaks in the fried rice. The desserts were tasty as well. Overall, Umiya is now one of my favorite AYCE sushi around town. It is a bit far from me, but I will definitely be back whenever I'm in the area again. read more

Food was okay. Service was great and ambience was nice. But $33 for what we ordered didn't seem right. Way too much rice, too. Huge portions. We ordered the green mountain roll and the tokyo roll, as well as the volcano roll. Man, don't get the volcano roll. It was confusing to look at and didn't taste like anything. The Tokyo roll was okay, but the green mountain roll was a task to eat. read more

Umiya was another AYCE sushi experience that started off swinging strong. They have a huge variety of fresh fish and rolls to choose from along with the usual Japanese appetizers and hibachi selection. The rolls were delicious with some creative combinations available. I'm a tuna fan, and they have a bunch of different seared and raw options to choose from, all very fresh tasting. Dessert was also included to nicely round out the meal with some cheesecake and ice cream. I did try some of their hibachi as well, and this was the only thing that let me down. The beef in both the teriyaki steak and the beef fried rice was dry and tough. At the end of the day, I came for the fish and sushi though, which did not disappoint. read more

Came here for the first time. Got the AYCE buffet and order a ton of food to make me regret it later when I'm staring at myself in the mirror without my shirt lol. Between my friend and I, we must've consumed a total of 50-60 sushis, 20 sashimis, 24 fried oysters, 5 steaks, 8 mussels, 20 4 scoops of ice cream, tapioca mango dessert, and probably a few more something that I can't remember lol. For $33, food was pretty delicious, but most of the fish was fresh. I enjoyed the Unagi and the salmon. They have a variety of sushis to choose from. Staff are friendly and fast. Food comes out pretty fast after we places it with our waitress. Lots of tables to dine on. There are individual private restrooms, but the one I used was super filthy and needed to be clean. Lots of parking in the area. read more

Overall a satisfied experience. The fish was fresh and I appreciated that the rolls weren't overly sauced. Didn't need to rely on extra toppings for flavor. If it wasn't for the inconsisitent service speeds, I would've gave my first 5/5. Pros: + Great variety for price + Seared options for lunch + Fresh fish + Rolls weren't overly sauced + Free parking lot Cons: - Too much rice in nigiris and was dense - Food was slower than I'd like. First round took ~ 20 minutes and it was an order for 8 pieces nigiri. Since it's AYCE, the pauses made it difficult to pace myself properly and increased the risk of going over the time limit. - Most rolls come in 8 pieces. For a solo diner, this makes it hard to try a wide variety. read more

Had a great experience at Umiya Sushi! The all-you-can-eat menu has a huge selection to choose from, and the portions are surprisingly generous. They definitely do not skimp on portion sizes, which makes the experience feel like an even better value. The customer service was fairly quick, and the food came out at a good pace throughout the meal. Most importantly, everything tasted great and was fresh and flavorful. If you're looking for an AYCE sushi spot with plenty of options and satisfying portions, Umiya Sushi is definitely worth checking out! read more

Loved this place! I'm always on the hunt for a good all-you-can-eat sushi spot and finally decided to try this one after passing by a few times--def worth it. They've got a ton of rolls to choose from, plus hibachi and desserts, which is a nice bonus. The Kobe beef seared sushi was sooo good. My boyfriend and I tried all the desserts too and everything hit. For about $32, it's a great deal. We're already talking about going back! read more

I finally had the chance to visit Umiya Sushi located off I10 and Wirt, in the same center as Love's Dumpling House. Some of my friends have been raving about this AYCE (all you can eat) sushi place so I took my family of four and decided to eat as much as humanly possible. We went on a Saturday for a late lunch (arrived at 1 pm). Parking is free and if you don't want the hassle of tight parking, don't try to park right in front and you'll be fine. Walk a bit. Upon entry, we only waited a few minutes and were seated at a table that technically fit 6. Service was pretty good. Unlike a buffet that I'm used to, the server takes your order and then delivers your food. They do this over and over until you're full. Overall I would say the service was good. As for ambiance - the place is quite big and pretty nice, I must say. It's not over the top, but they definitely put in some money to make the restaurant look and feel nice. Now for the food - I thought it was great. Tastier and higher end than a place like Kura, the $20 price for lunch is unbeatable for a Japanese AYCE place, and the variety of offerings was quite impressive. I thought taste overall was excellent and I would definitely come back again, maybe once a month, on a cheat day when I don't mind gaining a few pounds all at once. We tried as much as we could - hot appetizers, rolls, seared sushi, nigiri, soup, and even the desserts. Everything was great! Fish was fresh, hot food came out very hot, and rolls were packed with flavor. Hungry and got $25 in your pocket? Check out Umiya and you will leave very satisfied. read more

Umiya is one of my favorite AYCE sushi in Houston. Every time I am super hungry or craving a large amount of sushi for a good deal, Umiya is the first place go to. They have a lot of options from the sushi rolls to nigiris to other appetizers. Their seared sushi is fresh and buttery, and if you eat 10 alone, you are almost getting your money's worth! Definitely a must get when going. The yellowtail jalapeno is another favorite of mines and consist of yellowtail Hamachi topped with jalapenos, masago, and soy sauce. They have a variety of rolls to choose from, but I like the Hot Mama Roll. There is a fire sign nest to it, but the roll consists of hot cheetos and is not spicy at all. The Hot Mama Roll has a good mixture of textures with the crispy chips. The inside is spacious, and there is a lot of seating and parking. Service is dependent on how busy the day is with it being a bit slower on the weekends. Umiya is a nice place to visit for AYCE and has been my go-to for AYCE sushi. Make sure to come hungry and definitely try their seared nigiris! read more

Another Houston AYCE sushi place crossed off our list. Sashimi was a cut into nice thick slices, for our first round they survived it over ice. For the second round it wasn't. Rolls were traditional AYCE rolls, not much stood out in my opinion. Overall would recommend if you wanted AYCE sushi in Houston. read more

I've been debating all day about how I wanted to write this review. But since I am now on my second round of explosive diarrhea today -- Unfortunately I cannot recommend this restaurant. There were two hairs in my Cucumber Salas. (I wish I would've taken a photo!) Something just seemed off. Even though the restaurant itself is spacious and decorated very nicely, I just don't think I would come back here. It's overpriced and the quality was not great. read more

All I could dream would be a more accurate name for this entire experience! I was hopeful that after the long drive, the food quality and quantity would be sufficient, it was far more than that! Out servers were caring and sat our group at a large table with both chair and booth seating. We were frequently checked in on and never had an empty glass. The menu was extensive and our server explained and answered all our questions. And the sashimi and sushi! What a selection and what flavors and textures! The pink lady roll and the yellowtail sashimi were my personal favorites, but everything was so good. The cuts of fish were fresh and generous. Standouts were the sesame balls, the fried oreos and the red bean ice cream. read more

I was craving sushi so badly, so we decided to come to Umiya for a night date. I did a lot of research on AYCE sushi around my area, and Umiya really caught my attention because of the beautiful decorations and how good the food looked online. We came around 6 pm and did the dinner option. At that time, the restaurant was not very busy, only a few tables. But around 7 pm, it became a full house. Trust me, come before 6 if you want a table without a long wait. The price was 32.95 per person, and soft drinks are not included. They also have a full drink menu and boba, which is a nice bonus. We ordered a lot that night and left extremely full. Everything we tried was delicious. I also loved how beautifully each plate was decorated. Every dish came out looking so pretty and fancy, it honestly made me feel like I was dining at a high end restaurant, not just an AYCE spot. One thing that really impressed me is that they also have seared sushi. I love that seared flavor, and Umiya gave me the chance to eat a lot of it, which really gave me an omakase style experience. The AYCE menu has many dishes that I have never seen at other sushi restaurants. That really surprised me in a good way. I usually get bored seeing the same options everywhere, but this place was different and impressive. I forgot our waiter name, but he was amazing. Very nice, attentive, and gave us excellent service. Even when the restaurant got really busy, he never made us wait. Every time we finished a round, he was already there to take our next order. When we left, there was a long line outside of people waiting to dine in, which says a lot about how popular this place is. Overall, this is the best AYCE sushi restaurant I have ever been to. It is probably my number one spot right now. Great food, beautiful presentation, and amazing service made the whole experience even better. I definitely recommend coming here, just make sure to make a reservation if you plan to visit on a weekend night because it gets very busy. read more

I went Saturday lunch for the AYCE deal. I really wanted love this place but was pretty disappointed. The sat lunch price deal was great as it was the same as a weekday deal, but the fish wasn't as fresh as the other sushi restaurants. There was a fishy aftertaste to the sushi and the flavors of the sushi roll were pretty overpowering or lacking. The seared sushi was the best as well as the tataki for appetizers. The ambiance was pretty dark inside and interior not as cleanly decorated as I wanted. The indoor ceiling lights were very loud and clashed with the japanese decor. Overall, the waitress and waiters were fast and attentive. But would like the interior and food quality to improve. read more

AYCE -this is order at your table AYCE. Service was friendly and helpful. The space is colorful. This is a family atmosphere. We ordered from almost all the categories. Items I enjoyed the most have a *. Appetizers: Tuna Carpaccio Tuna Tataki *Kobe steak Tataki - tender and yummy *Salmon/Tuna Lover - choose the tuna. It's like a tower - tuna avocado and c Tempura: Shrimp Dessert: Fried Banana Red Bean ice cream Matcha ice cream *Sago with Coconut Milk - had bits of mango - nice & refreshing. Kitchen Appetizers: Baked New Zealand Mussels - this one was mayonnaise heavy for me and it was hard to remove the mussel from the shell Fried Calamari Fried Fish Fried Shrimp *Fried Oyster - nice crispy outside *Takoyaki - yummy *Sesame Balls (red bean paste) Sushi or Sashimi: Tuna Sashimi Salmon Sashimi Yellowtail sashimi *White tuna (escolar) - nice pieces and so tender. *Masago - deliciously briney *Eel Sashimi - tender and tasty Seared Sushi: Seared Kobe Beef - I was hoping this would be better the meat was cut with the grain which made it harder to chew. Seared Tuna Seared Salmon *Seared Scallop - this one was my favorite of the seared. Teriyaki: Salmon - dry and disappointing Specialty Rolls: Tiger Eye Roll *Dragon Roll - this one was my favorite of the rolls we tried Rainbow Roll - didn't have enough rainbow Spider Roll read more

Hands down new favorite all you can eat sushi in Houston for an affordable price. Came with my hungry husband and son. They offer different price points for kids which is great compared to others. The service was on point. I never felt like we had an issue getting her attention. Our food came fast. The sushi tasted fresh. Nothing tasted fishy. The selection was decent. I really enjoyed some of the salmon options along with the fried Oreos for dessert. Now for the feel... fresh which was refreshing. Decent amount of lighting with space for tables. I didn't feel like we were on top of other tables nor in the way of anyone just sitting. Overall highly recommend. read more

Umiya Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

I'm all about the AYCE experience in my prime eating days, even an honorable founder of the Facebook group - "The BFF club" (Buffet Fans Forever) *it's really more of a joke among my buddies in college as we explore an AYCE place every month. The key for me in rating a good buffet has always been 1) freshness 2) selections 3) price to value ratio and 4) service. For my first visit here at Umiya, most of these boxes are checked pretty well. I like the a-la carte ordering process, there's a limit for the # of sashimi we can get but the food comes out quick enough. A solid variety of appetizers, rolls, sashimi and some noodle/rice dishes.. The star of the show has to be the seared sushi for me. The steak was tender, the salmon was tasty, everything was pretty good. (Look it's not Uchi or Azumi in terms of quality or presentation, but you are getting a good value play here). Some hibachi/teriyaki can be hit or miss but the the sushi/seared sushi makes the grade for me. Our waiter was very friendly and checked in with us often enough without the awkwardness of waiting/asking for more. The inside is fairly spacious, there's a bit of a wait for dinner rush on the weekends. Parking is convenient with the shared lot in the shopping center. Definitely one of my favorite AYCE sushi places so far in Houston. FYI save room for the green tea ice cream and the fried Oreos tempura.. worth the extra calories read more

Nut allergy warning: There is a peanut avocado roll, but I had no issues with what I ordered and didn't mention the allergy. Parking: Plenty in the plaza, I had to park a bit further near Spec's We arrived at noon with a party of four on a Friday and it was relatively packed, but we were seated with no wait. Service was generally pretty quick! We only waited about 5-10 minutes for light bites like miso soup, and 10-15 minutes for sushi orders. With a group of 4, we got about 2-3 rolls each and a variety of the other dishes: Seared Sushi (4.5/5): This is probably the most unique offering on their menu and I would go back and order a lot more of it during lunch. The cuts they use are a bit tough, but this is the best balance of fish to rice during lunch hours and are actually a great palette cleanser. Eel sushi (4/5): The other thing I'd definitely go back for, not as tender as other places but still good. Miso Soup (3/5): Average, not enough tofu or seaweed for me. Most of the special sushi rolls were okay - a lot of rolls focused on avocado, and make sure you read to see if you're getting the wrap in soy paper. I don't think any especially stood out to me but I'd say the Red Snapper roll is good if you want soy paper, and the Dragon Roll was good. I ate a bunch of the Lexington (baked roll) and it was too heavy for me, but no one else at my table wanted it. They had a good variety but most of the rolls ultimately were filled with shrimp tempura or imitation crab, which is on par with other lower priced AYCE spots. Their green tea ice cream was a fantastic way to round out the meal. I skipped the sesame balls but my table enjoyed them enough to get two orders. Overall, service is very good and the lunch price is excellent for a decent variety AYCE. I'd definitely go back and get less rolls and more sushi/seared sushi pieces. read more

It was OK. The wife and I both think it's better than Sushi Masa in Sugarland (I hear that there are more locations now. I'm happy for their success). Service was polite and quick. Ambiance is pretty straight forward. The restaurant wasn't full full and we were one of three tables of Asian people (take that as you will). $35/person.... Would I go back? Yeah.... But not for a while. Hard take: For a place called Umiya, it was hard to find the Umami. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ feels like they were catering to the area... read more

Everything from the attentive service to the mellow ambiance to the delicious food considering the price point was great. We were immediately greeted and seated upon entering the facility, with our server, Angel, going through each part of the menu. Food and drinks were served quickly, and quite delicious. The sashimi and sushi fish was fresh, though I wish there was more of it. Miso soup was filled with kombu, tofu and flavor. I would skip the sago with coconut milk for now, as, although it's very refreshing, I think a few tweaks to the item would do it well: adding some sweetness and depth of flavor, and maybe changing the mango component as it adds a bit too much sourness. All in all, a great find. read more

Decent AYCE sushi spot in Spring Branch. $20 for lunch is a great deal. You order with your waiter, and they can accommodate a decent sized order from your table. The food comes in when ready, from multiple servers. Sushi selection is pretty good, my friend really liked the salmon. The offerings are very similar to Sushi Masa in Sugar Land, but Umiya definitely has the edge. Their tempura is more consistent and well-battered. Their shrimp tempura is REALLY good, I probably had at least 6 of those. Also the tempura oreo and banana is a nice addition. Good vibe, lots of space, and seeing a sushi counter is kinda nice. Plenty of parking. Friendly staff. Great spot when you just want cheap sushi and tempura. read more

Imagine my surprise when I was heading home and saw there's a Umiya Sushi in Houston. The last time I had them was when I was in Corpus Christi. I ordered some of the same stuff I use to order to see if it would still be the same. Let's start with the crab puffs. They were ok. A little too hard fried and too sweet not enough crab. The egg rolls were ok nothing special. The shaggy roll was as good as I expected. But the real star of the show was the harbor bridge roll. I demolished them so quick. Overall I'm so happy that one of my favorite restaurants is local and I get to enjoy my favorite rolls. I will definitely be back to try that all you can eat deal! read more

Umiya Sushi - Seared Kobe Beef, Seared Salmon, Seared Scallop, Spicy Garlic Edamame, Shrimp Tempura(4), Crab Puff(5), Takoyaki(4) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

Another AYCE sushi outing in the books! This time, we gathered our group for Umiya off I-10 - I was pleased that they were able to take our dinner reservation for a large table, so everything was already set up for us when we arrived! After a quick skim of the menu, we placed our food and drink orders with the personable and efficient waitress; here are my thoughts on what we tried: Appetizers: Umiya's menu includes not only the standard marinated/steamed/fried dishes you'll see at every Japanese AYCE, but also small unagi don and chirashi dishes. We were initially worried about portion sizes but the waitress assured us they would be manageable. The unagi don was actually quite good, and easily split between my friend and me - highly recommend! We also split a rainbow Naruto roll, which was a little lopsided - it was hard to eat without everything falling out of the cucumber wrap. If you've been fasting for AYCE like we usually do, definitely opt for a few appetizers while you wait for larger sushi or sashimi plates to be prepared. Sushi/sashimi: The raw fish here was fresh and well-portioned, and I appreciated that they didn't lose any of our orders! We particularly liked the seared nigiri choices - we jokingly described the seared salmon as "fish butter" and ordered quite a few rounds of those. As the main attraction, this part of the menu does not disappoint! Rolls: We didn't go as roll-crazy as we usually do at other places, but we did enjoy the ones we tried! Our favorites were the Tsunami, Pink Lady, and Dragon rolls. Many of the rolls are fully cooked, so it's a very approachable menu for friends or folks who don't like raw fish. Hot food: We split a few hot items to break up rounds of fish. The shrimp hibachi and chicken teriyaki were juicy and well-seasoned, while the takoyaki and gyoza were cleanly fried. Feel free to order a few if your palate is needing a reset! Dessert: Between several ice cream flavors and tempura sweets, there's something for everyone here as long as you saved some stomach space :) I was definitely getting full but I still enjoyed my hot banana tempura with a scoop of cookies and cream. I also tried a cup of their coconut sago, which was pleasantly sweet and refreshing (if lacking in substance). The restaurant was busy but not crowded when we went, which I liked in terms of service, noise control, and food turnover. It doesn't really have other competition in Spring Branch, so I'm actually surprised it wasn't busier. All in all, Umiya is a solid choice in its neighborhood, and its location along I-10 is ideal for many Houstonians - I'll definitely be back next time I'm in the area! read more

This is a great place for AYCE dinner with a pretty valuable menu for the price. There are tons of options: hot, cold, rice bowls, rolls, appetizers and soups. There are limitations on how much sashimi you can order per person per round, but it's very reasonable! I came with friends in a large group, and the restaurant is really large so there's plenty of space. We have a method to the AYCE madness of ordering where we place all the orders in the Notes app so the waitress can just enter them at once which saves everyone the hassle. Everything was delicious but we did have an issue with the Pinky Lady roll on the second round due to how it was cut and the soy paper being soggy by the time it got to us but the staff took it off with no issue. My personal favorites were the seared salmon and the spicy garlic edamame! Overall, this is a solid restaurant for AYCE and I'd recommend it. read more

I was very excited for this AYCE sushi spot because I heard good things about it. It is very affordable, about 20 pp for lunch which is a great deal! Good price. The sushi itself was alright, nothing amazing, and not the best sushi quality that I've tried for an AYCE. I know most AYCE spots won't have stellar quality, but I've tried other AYCE that have better sushi. They have a bunch of rolls, but they all tasted the same. The nigiri is not bad, and there was a decent amount of rice in each item. So not the best fish-rice ratio for me. The place is big, good for big group meals, good for really any occasion and group size. Service was alright when I went, not too slow, not very fast..just normal. So Umiya is nothing to write home about and personally I wouldn't return because there are yummier options in town. By no means is it bad though, so I'd say if you want a cheaper option and want an AYCE sushi spot that does the job, def give Umiya a try! read more

AYCE sushi? Say less. I came in around 6:20 p.m. and was seated immediately, which was a great start to the evening. The fish was incredibly fresh, flavorful, and clearly high quality, exactly what you hope for at an AYCE spot. I especially love their sashimi and the seared nigiri options. Both are consistently excellent and stand out on the menu. The service here is another major highlight. The servers are always friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful. They never hesitate to answer questions or offer recommendations, and they create a welcoming atmosphere every time I visit. The restaurant itself is clean and well-kept, which makes the dining experience even better. I've been back several times now, and I've never had a single issue. Everything I've tried has been delicious, and the quality you get for an AYCE price is absolutely worth it. This place has definitely become one of my go-to spots for sushi. read more

Came here for AYCE and Service was attentive and the environment of the place wasn't too loud. We came in during lunch (great lunch deals) and seared pieces were totally worth it.

Umiya Sushi - Menu - Sushi Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

I always saw Umiya at the mall when I worked nearby, but after a painful experience at another hibachi place that rhymes with "Goshun," I never quite worked up the courage to try it. I'm glad I finally did, because this place was an absolute delight. The experience starts before you even walk inside. At the entrance there's a small Japanese garden with a koi pond that immediately sets the atmosphere. Once inside, the restaurant has an open dining layout with vaulted ceilings and a really cool galaxy-style fiber optic ceiling that gives the whole place a unique vibe. The Japanese-inspired windows and wood accents make the interior feel warm and immersive without being overdone. Our hostess was friendly from the start, and we enjoyed joking around with her while getting seated. The chef cooked everything perfectly, and the flavors were exactly what I've been missing from this kind of dining experience. Everything had rich umami flavor without being overloaded with soy sauce or salt, which has turned me off from hibachi restaurants in the past. The portions were huge too. I genuinely wished I had a second stomach because I wanted to finish everything, but I was more than happy to take leftovers home. If you've been hesitant to try this place like I was, don't be. Check out this hidden sapphire restaurant- you'll leave full and satisfied. read more

A pretty average AYCE sushi spot I'd say. Average as in on par with other AYCE sushi places. They have all the standard options in terms of hot apps, cold apps, rolls, nigiri/sashimi, etc. For about $33 during dinner it's definitely not hard to eat your money's worth which is always good. I forgot out server's name, but he honestly made the experience stand out the most. Super attentive and kind! read more

I've been coming to Umiya Sushi for a while and have always enjoyed coming here, so today's experience was really disappointing. I brought my sister and cousins with me, and when it was time to pay, I explained that they were 12 and under. Since I'm 17, I understand that there may have been some confusion, but instead of simply trusting what I was saying, we were asked for everyone's IDs. This made the process of paying the check unnecessarily difficult and uncomfortable. I understand that restaurants have policies they need to follow, but the way the situation was handled felt frustrating and made us feel like we weren't being trusted. After coming here for a while, I expected a much better experience. Unfortunately, today's experience left a really bad impression. read more

I have to give this guys a solid 5 , the food you get for your money is above, and beyond, I have been here a few times now, they have not failed, good food, service, and they set the mood, I think for $20 all you can eat is worth every penny! Keep up the good work! read more

Went to Umiya at their Katy Freeway location for ayce sushi for dinner. I had a reservation but they forgot to record the time during my call somehow so I ended up having to wait about an hour for a table to open up. I got a bunch of nigiri, sashimi, handrolls, and apps. I got the tuna carpaccio, yellowtail on fire, rainbow Naruto, and tuna/salmon lover. All were decent but probably skippable, my favorite was the yellowtail on fire. The handrolls were stufffed but if you want to try more things I would suggest limiting the amount you get. Salmon nigiri was ok quality. Not bad but not memorable either. I usually love seared nigiri's but I thought these were just ok as well. The star of the night was their salmon sashimi. The quality between their salmon nigiri and sashimi is like night and day. The sashimi was more fattier and melt in your mouth. I didnt realize that this was a chain and that I've already tried it in San Antonio. It's decent, but I probably wouldn't drive all this way with other places nearby read more
