This place is on the high end of sushi, but if you're looking for a place for date night or just want to splurge on yourself, this is the place to go. This is hands down my most favorite place to get sushi in Houston. The food and the service is amaz...

Izakaya wa specializes in Japanese bar food. It most definitely hits the spot when you want a more cozy vibe. They're typically quite busy at night on the weekends, but they have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. My favorite are they're grilled s...

Mensho is new to Houston and is taking the city by storm. Since opening, there has been a long line to wait in that is slowly dying down. I went a week or two after opening and waited about 2 hours, but more recently it has been less than an hour. It...

Handies is not just any handroll place. Their handrolls is not just fish and rice like most places, and I believe their addition of toppings into the roll really enhances it's flavor profile. They get super busy, so I recommend having a reservation t...

bb.q Chicken is the best Korean fried chicken I've had. It's super crispy, and they have a large variety of flavors to choose from. Even with the wet flavors, the chicken is still very crispy. I recommend soy garlic and the cheesling flavors.

One Shot Pocha offers Korean bar food and has multiple private karaoke rooms to enjoy. Not only is it a fun place to sing your heart out, the food is great too! I recommend the bossam and their soy garlic wings.

As simple as a Caesar Salad may be, it was delicious here. It comes with a thinly sliced sourdough crouton which elevates it above average. I fell in love with the Squid Ink Campanelle. I almost thought that squid ink pasta was just a gimmick, but it...
Marmo
Paulie's is delicious and relatively affordable. Their portions are quite large and gives great value to its cost. Unfortunately, they do not offer reservations. They get quite busy during typically dinner and lunch peak times, so make sure you go ea...
