Dani Rose: I love the sea bass or tuna. Service is always great. And the crab is the freshest in town.
Victoria Craig: Of course the crab here is great, but we also really enjoyed the lobster bisque, the filet mignon, and the interesting take on baked Alaska. Service was spot on! The decor was dated and uninteresting.
Valentina Cardillo: My favorite restaurant in Houston! Everything is absolutely amazing, the service, drinks, appetizers, king crab legs and omg the carrot cake! TO. DIE. FOR.

Daniel Mathena: The O-toro is the best that I have had. And the wasabi roe is great. Order the sake flight for a fun addition.
Billy Ellison: All nigiri and sashimi are excellent. Kobe beef skewers are a must. Sit near front during busy times as wait staff can be amiss for long periods. For special cold and hot plates be prepared to wait
Houston Chronicle: Don't miss: Uni chawanmushi; Kobe short rib with yamamomo, the tart red bayberry fruit; chirashi sushi; omakase sashimi for two; strawberry shortcake. Read more.

Ikal 1150 Wines of Argentina: try the brothy seafood stew, or the slow roasted pork shoulder with chile adobo sauce (off the menu)... particularly great with our Malbec! Read more.
Kim McGaw: Hand-shaken margaritas, potato empanadas are to die for. Love their spicy hot chocolate in the Winter. Tuna ceviche appetizer is always good and hits the spot in the summer.
The Wall Street Journal: Try your hardest not to overdo it on the lamb chops, octopus salad, duck with mole and chilaquiles; the desserts, made by Mr. Ortega's pastry-chef brother, Ruben, are irresistible. Read more.
