    The bill!!!
    Amber S.

    This place has quickly become my husband and my favorite place. We're working our way down the chef special and everything has been amazing! But it took one special waiter for me to take the time to write this review. I don't know his name but he is a true gem. He had hilarious commentary throughout our dining experience and when the bill came he showed up with two bills!! We expected he split it and we quickly explained that we were together and that one check would suffice. To my blundering surprise, I opened my bill and found not a check but this super cute illustration. I plan to frame it because the impact it had on me was so profound that it made me want to be even better at my job as well and add fun little spice as he did. Well done Akashi!! Give this guy a raise!

    Always enjoy eating here. The interior is very nice. We've eaten at the bar and in a booth. Always good service and the food and drinks are yummy.

    I love Akashi! I usually go to the one in vintage but I was in the area for lunch and I love this place. I was the first customer of the day and service was fairly quick. I was seated instantly and my order was taken pretty quick. I got the lunch special triple delight and an order of calamari. The calamari came out pretty quick. Very quick and tasty. I don't like how they use a bunch of veggies to make it look full with a little bit of calamari. The flavors are on point but the plating was a bit sloppy. The lunch special comes with fried rice or white rice and choice of soup. I got white rice and egg drop soup. I love their egg drop soup. It's seasoned nicely where you don't have to add any salt. I wish they had black pepper on the table. I love black pepper in my food. The eggroll was really good and the triple delight was good. It has a bit of a burnt wok taste like the wok was too hot. It was tasty tho.

    It's my first time to come to here. The environment is very good and the restaurant is very clean. The service is pretty good, and the sushi and appetizers I ordered are also very satisfactory. The price is reasonable and cost-effective, and it is worth coming again ..

    Coming back from a trip in the evening, no one has time to go grocery shopping. After eating tons of good authentic Mexican food I craved for sushi. We hit the jackpot because this place is 5 minutes from our house and sushi definitely fulfilled my craving. When you walk in you see the host/hostess and then you turn and are greeted by all the pretty lights happening at the bar area. They have 3 TV's and even though we didn't sit at the bar we we're still able to watch the rockets game. No squinting or trying to squirm around to see the tv. We ordered 3 different sushi: Volcano roll, tuna and avocado, & Chilean cod- amazing and we would order it again. Never had cod in a sushi before but take that sushi, dip it in the sauce, and you'll thank me later! Of course we had to order hot saki. No different from any other place. Be sure to suck in some air to bring out the flavors of the saki! Otherwise, you're missing out!

    Good food with a nice ambiance. I like the veggie roll as a nice snack or light meal. The kids sized fried rice is a nice option for lunch! Very clean establishment with quality service.

    I finally tried out Akashi last week and was extremely pleased. The order took a bit longer than I expected, I called when they first opened, arrived when they said the food would be ready, and still had to wait an extra 10 minutes, which wouldn't have been a big deal if my wife and baby weren't waiting in the car. That said, quarantine makes everything difficult, the staff was good at wearing masks and keeping hygiene, and the patrons all kept good distance between each other. The food itself was fantastic, one of the favorite Asian dishes I've had in clear lake. I ordered the Mongolian triple delight which had beef, shrimp, and chicken. The beef was extremely tender, the chicken was lean and not gummy, and the shrimp was well cooked and de-shelled. There weren't many veggies in the dish, I think just green onions, and I would have loved some more veggies in it but the fried rice it came with was definitely a great compliment to the proteins. I would 100% recommend this dish to others and I look forward to trying other dishes at Akashi!

    Beautiful, open interior

    Samurai Japanese Steak - Hibachi grill. Lots of fun! Scallops were amazing as always!

    So I really wanted to love this experience, but unfortunately it fell short in my collection of…read moreHibachi experiences. Let's start with the positives, the restaurant itself and ambiance was nice, clean, inviting...lots of staff! Loved that they had a happy hour on a weekend day, we ordered sushi, sake, and crab puff rolls off the happy hour menu and they were all good. I feel like we would come back at some point and just do happy hour. Lots of good choices on the menu. Soup was very good, loved the soup. Salad was good, very tasty dressing. Soup and salad came with hibachi. Our waiter seemed very rushed, nervous, somewhat annoyed. This was our first time here, and first time looking at the menu. It seemed odd that he took our menus after we ordered a few things off the happy hour menu, if he would have left the menus we would have probably ordered more off the menu. We still had over an hour before happy hour was over. Drinks were okay, I ordered iced tea partner ordered sake. It was supposed to be cold, but seemed more lukewarm temp. Now for the Hibachi, I'm going to be honest it seemed like the guy was struggling. There was barely any interaction throughout the whole experience, and as you know that's what Hibachi is all about. I ordered the steak and shrimp, partner ordered the scallops. Everything was cooked with tons of oil, the shrimp and scallops were drenched in oil and there were some pieces that weren't cooked all the way through. Veggies were barely thrown on and taken right off, they were hard and lacked flavor. The whole point of grilled veggies is the slight char, and taste of the grill. He did remake the scallops but we didn't ask him to remake the shrimp or veggies for the chicken fried rice because at the point the medium steak was turning into very well done. The rice was okay, again seemed very rushed...veggies were barely cooked before chopped and grilled with rice. The service seemed very sloppy, rice veggies flung outside of grill, beside some of the customers plates...cleaning the grill to where we shielded our clothes a few times...he seemed very confused with the orders/waiters notes and seemed like he just wanted to be done. He spoke maybe 3 times the whole experience. I'd like to think that we just got a newer cook, the food itself may have been better maybe if we had a different cook experience. I've done several Hibachi experiences and this one was very lackluster, the table as a whole seemed very underwhelmed. The manager stopped by to discuss the scallops, gave feedback regarding the tons of oil, etc. He gave a military discount I believe about $6. Overall I think for a $100+ dining experience I definitely expect more in terms of experience and treatment of the food. Not sure if we'd return, the guy dining next to us suggested Shogun his issue was that the portion sizes were too small. We might do a stop in happy hour quick bite at some point, but not for Hibachi I don't think. There are so many other options to try.

    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.

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.
