Best HH in the world. The wings were although I had to send back the chargrilled oysters everything else was terrific! Good service and nice vibes read more

Ambiance was super cute--low lighting, intimate, and perfect for date night. It was pretty busy when we went, so our waitress was MIA when we wanted to order more drinks, but the rest of the staff was incredibly attentive and helped us get her attention. The food was really good! My favorite was the tempura prawns (not pictured)--they were gone almost as soon as they hit the table . The yellowtail roll was a 10/10. The branzino was good, but the sauce that came with it was definitely the star of the plate. I also really enjoyed the scallop tiradito--it was super fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Overall, a really cute spot with great food and a perfect date-night vibe! read more

Wow Azumi really does it for me. Would you believe me if I told you I came twice in one week. No- no I mean twice in one day. That's right I came Tuesday and again to participate in the Thursdays lychee martinis. I came during 3-6 HH with my friend Sherita, the place was packed in the designated areas to partake in the happy hour menu indoors. The patio which they're two you could sit outdoors and partake in the HH menu. It was really warm. They provide handheld fans for you, but it felt like just hot air, and it was better to use no fan than a hot breeze. I ordered the Rocky shrimp sushi again! Presentation is much better when presented indoors. My friend got the calamari. During check out, my waitress charged $18 verses $5 for my lychee martini. Be sure to check your ticket!!! I could've received nearly 3 more martinis for the price she was charging. It was corrected upon request. Thursday's lychee specials are the best deals from 3pm until close. So I had returned back later that evening, after 8 and the bar as well as the bar tables were wide open with availability seating. read more

Came here for their Thursday night happy hour which includes their $5 martinis from 3pm until close! I had seen on social media that they were $2 martinis so they must have recently changed it. We were immediately seated and greeted warmly with a bottle of cold water. They were good about checking to see if we were ready to order with reminders that their daily happy hour was ending at 6pm. We ordered the oysters, grilled oysters, chicken wings, nigiri, spicy edamame, and gyoza. Everything came out great. They were, however, not the best so I would not want to pay full price. My favorites were the chicken wings with its super crispy skin and sweet but savory sauce, and the oysters you can't go wrong with. I also got the lychee martini which was decently strong. The location is in the River Oaks District shopping center. There is free self-parking in the garage not too far from Azumi itself. read more

This was the most elevated sushi experience I've had yet! We had two colleagues visiting from out of state and out of the country and they were very happy as well. The atmosphere is cool, the service was great (very knowledgeable and what they didn't know, they went and found out for me), and the food... was delicious. We did the Chef's tasting menu, 9 courses including several different fish both raw and cooked, that were so unbelievable: melt in your mouth! And the dessert was amazing. I had a Japanese whisky flight (Nikka) they recommended and I loved! I would buy these to have at home. This place really lived up to the hype! read more

My dearest, dearest Azumi. You have so profoundly created a happy hour girly out of me. Dare I say, a top 5 happy hour spot for me in Houston. Where do I even begin? First and foremost I love the overall atmosphere of this place. Service is always pretty good. Don't get me started on the food. I honestly don't have that many pictures because I get too excited to even remember once the food comes (haha). Love everything that my mouth touches from here. Wings? Love em. Shishito peppers? Yummy? Oysters? Chefs kiss. But the real star is the crispy rice. Will always love this spot. read more

Love azumi's happy hour!! My go to's are always the spicy tuna crispy rice and the shishito peppers, and as you can see, we ordered a LOT! Love the grilled oysters as well. We tried a few new things from their new happy hour menu, the spicy crunchy salmon roll and yellowtail crudo, and also opted to try the calamari this time. I really liked everything, and a lychee martini will never fail! read more

Such a great happy hour experience! They offer food and drink specials from 3-6pm and $5 martinis on Thursday for most of the day. Most of the items I ordered came from the happy hour menu except for the San maki roll. The San roll and the raw oysters were my favorite. The Yellowtail & Serrano Crudo was also tasty! If you're joining for happy hour, be sure to either get there early or grab a reservation. Pricing is only offered in the bar lounge and patio areas, both of which were pretty packed when I arrived. Azumi is a must visit for happy hour! read more

Heyyyyyyy on a good Thursday happy hour is here!! Talk about great priced food and Lychee martinis. This is my kind of spot.. it's nice vibes. Happy hour is either in the bar area or outside.

Azumi is such a great place for a romantic night out. The ambiance is beautiful- intimate, warm, and perfect for date night. My boyfriend and I decided to try the omakase for dinner, and we loved every single item that came out. Each course was absolutely delicious and presentation was exquisite. The service was just as impressive. Every server was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable without being overwhelming. To top it all off, we were treated to complimentary sake at the end of our meal, which was such a nice touch and tasted amazing. The manager for the night came over to introduce herself and ensure we had a great night, and welcomed us back which was great. Between the incredible food, great drinks, and cozy romantic vibe, it was such a special experience. We're already planning to come back to check out their lunch and happy hour! read more

I don't know how I was sleeping on the HH here. Definitely fills up on the patio- no reservations for HH so try to get there early. They do a special in thursdays with the martinis which apparently gets real packed. Good deals and options on the hH menu- and of course you have to get the lychee martini! Ended up also getting the chefs nigiri 9piece from the regular menu which was still a decent deal. Every piece was absolutely delicious. I'll have to consider coming back for regular meaning but I'll definitely be back for another patio Hh!! Parking is free in the garage! read more

Went to happy hour and the patio is all they had left. We literally melted outside... because this is Texas. Lychee martinis were great, edamame was okay and the calamari was a flop. My friend had the sashimi and she enjoyed it. Oysters were good. Service- they did their best. They need more breathable attire if they are serving outside in 100 degree weather. Shorts, short sleeve, a buckey of water dousing them every other hour, SOMETHING! read more

My friend and I went to Azumi for happy hour on a Thursday, and overall it was a chill vibe especially if you are going for drinks. They offer happy hour daily from 3-6 PM, and on Thursdays they have $2 martinis from 3 PM to close, which is honestly such a steal. We had the lychee martinis and they were SO good, easily the highlight of the night. I would absolutely go back just for those. A small heads up: it does get crowded, so the earlier you arrive, the better. When we got there, they had actually run out of menus, so we borrowed one from our neighbor until they were able to bring us our own. It was not a huge deal, but definitely a sign that happy hour brings in a crowd. They also mentioned they were running behind at the bar. The happy hour menu is on the smaller side, but the portions are fair for the price. We tried the chicken gyoza, Brussels sprouts, chicken wings, crispy rice, and the crunchy salmon roll. Everything was solid and tasty. The Brussels a d Gyoza were like favorites! I would not recommend going during happy hour if you are starving and looking for a full dinner. But if you want some bites, good energy, and great martinis with friends, Azumi is definitely a good choice. read more

I just want to say WOW about azumi. We went here for happy hour on one of my last nights in Houston. We were just so impressed with the service, the ambiance, and the quality of the food. For happy hour you're truly getting a bang for your buck with their food and drinks. We chose to enjoy their oysters (fresh and Rockefeller), nigiri, spicy tuna crispy rice, spicy tuna roll, and the flaming king crab roll. The best thing was the spicy tuna maki and the crispy rice! So flavorful and fresh! The king crab roll was the only underwhelming item... for the price I don't think it's worth it. For drinks I enjoyed a lychee martini which was delicious! My husband got some whiskey on the rocks but they put something carbonated in it and when he asked, they said that's how they do on the rocks so we're not sure what was going on. Overall our experience was very good and we will be back again! read more

Ya know no. This place is located in highland Village and they share valet eith like 3 other restaurants. I dont like to use the valet service because they literally park your car im a dirt lot. Like what am I paying for?? We had a reservation for 7. It took 10 mins to seat us... our waitress was pleasant but lordddd was she slow. That was likely in part because they appeared under/short staffed. The food tasted great, when we could finally get it. I mean the service was slow as molasses! Don't come here hungry because there will beva wait. I enjoyed my sushi rolls and the spicy edamame was really good. read more

We came for happy hour on a Monday. Happy hours starts at three and usually it's pretty pretty packed so I would come early, especially on Thursdays where they have a two dollar lychee martinis. They're happy hour is not better at all and they have a few options to go off of this. Shrimp was amazing. The crispy rice with avocado was everything you wanted you do have a minimum of three to order. They're Leche martinis were good. It was. I wouldn't say it was the best but for the price it was great. You sit at the bar for happy hour, but it is an upscale place so I would dress accordingly. Parking is in the garage usually it's free or there's valet Unisex bathrooms read more

I've been hearing sooo much about Azumi's HH from 3-6, but specifically the $2 lychee martinis on Thursdays. I'm sooo happy I visited because it didn't disappoint. The ambiance of the restaurant and patio is very inviting and warm. We arrived at 5pm and it was an hour and a half wait so definitely be there before 3. We were still granted the HH for drinks but not food, which was odd. I ordered the drinks which has a max of 4 for the HH special. They are on point! For food, we ordered mainly starters such as the oysters trio (10/10), Brussels (8/10 because they're flaky vs cut in half), shishito peppers (10/10) and the yellowtail tuna roll (7/10 because it was too much avocado). I for sure for sure visit again very soon. read more

Came here for their happy hour and had a great time! We got there early around 2:45pm to ensure that we were able to get a spot, and the servers were so kind to seat us and let us wait for happy hour to start. We ordered the crispy tuna rice, the grilled oysters, the brussels sprouts, the crispy calamari, shisito peppers, hamachi maki roll, the chicken wings, and some lychee martinis. The crispy tuna rice was my favorite thing we tried. The tuna was super fresh, the rice was crispy, and I loved the flavor of the sauce. This is a must-get when you go. (8/10) The grilled oysters were just okay, they just tasted cheesy. Not bad for the price, but nothing special. (5/10) The brussels sprouts were also a miss for me. The flavor was good and they were well roasted, but there were barely any full brussels sprouts. It was mainly just the leaves. (5.5/10) The crispy calamari was not crispy sadly, and a bit bland. The sauce was a spicy mayo that helped the dish, but I would not get this again. (4/10) The hamachi maki roll was nice! The fish was fresh and I felt like it was very comparable to other hamachi rolls that I've had before. (7/10) The chicken wings had great flavor. My only complaint was they they were not crispy at all. The meat was tender though and overall a decent wing. (6/10) The lychee martinis were STRONG. I think it might be a bit stronger than I'd like, but the lychee flavor is there and for $2 you really can't beat it! (5.5/10) I loved the bright and lively ambiance here and can see why the happy hour can get filled up fast. I would recommend making a reservation beforehand or getting there right at 3pm when it starts to make sure you can get a spot. Also, there is a free parking garage in the plaza. Would recommend this place for those looking for a cheap and a cute spot to catch up with some friends! read more

Located on the westheimer facing side of the River Oaks District, the premium location is paired with a premium feeling experience. You can park in the garage if you're in the mood for a light walk before or after, but there is valet here too. The inside seating is spaced well enough apart as to not feel crowded, and there's a large traditional bar and a separate sushi(I'm sure there's an authentic name) bar to sit at as well. I appreciate the business being open for lunch and offering some lunch parings to get things flowing for newcomers. Our server was eloquent and knowledgeable about the menu, not overly chatty, but very polite. The menu had plenty of options, and balanced the act of having enough things to choose from while not overloading the amount of reading you'd need to do. Food was on the experimental side with the Crudo and cold prepared dishes. Pear foam on the scallop was interesting and tasty combination that I hadn't tried elsewhere. All the seafood was fresh and neatly prepared. Rolls were less exploratory in flavor combos I'd say, I didn't see the intention of trying to do something entirely new like with the tiraditos. Lots of hot entree type plates you can get into as well. My lone gripe was on the bill where a 3% facilities fee was added. Maybe there was a disclaimer on the menu that I missed, but this is Anti-Patron at the very least. What's the purpose here? This is on top of a meal for 3 that was $400+. Dishes can be priced appropriately or this should be removed. read more

Cute and quiet. I came in on a Friday and sat at the bar. And ordered off restaurant week menu! Which honestly it was really good and the price for it was amazing. Once I ordered my food I surely thought I'd still be hungry but I wasn't I was satisfied! And happy about the portions and taste. My bartender was nice and did everything she could to keep up with the tickets coming in for drinks. I ordered two drinks. The lychee martini was good but my other drink wasn't so good.. There's parking in front of the shops, a parking garage, valet and parking by the restaurant * which can fill up fast. They also validate parking but on that day it wasn't needed it just opened for me. Overall I'll be back to try more drinks and food read more

Azumi is located in the upscale (and gaudy) part of River Oaks, in the same general area as Steak 48, and Le Colonial. Parking is available in the adjacent parking garage. The interior is very modern and well staffed. The menu is reminiscent of a few other upscale sushi spots. We focused on the cold and nigiri options. Generally, the presentation of the dishes were top notch and the quality of the fish seem decent for the rolls and nigiri. Really enjoyed their scallop and Uni, both were fresh and presented well. The toro tartar was decent, the toast a bit too rich but the ingredients were nicely put together. The flounder crudo was a 5/5 but the scallop tiradito was a bit of an odd dish. Pricing is also in line with other higher end sushi spots. Overall, it was better than expected for a sushi spot in the River Oaks area. It's a bit glitz but the sushi is solid. Lots of solid dishes on the menu! read more

Excellent happy hour DAILY from 3-6pm in their bar and patio. Great deal, good variety and high quality sushi. I found the service to be extremely slow, because they made the bartenders double hat as waiters too. My server literally just took orders, disappeared until hailed down a few times to get my bill. But he was super busy making drinks, so I can't fault him and still gave him a great tip but seriously, management should address this because the service level was well below what I'd expect given the high class ambiance. Restaurant is very nicely decorated. It is quite noisy though, especially in the bar at happy hour. I ordered nearly every item on the HH menu plus some from regular dinner menu. Stand out item: crispy rice apps with spicy tuna or avocado - both options were delish and only $2/piece during happy hour!! The daily nigiri options were tuna or salmon - both good, though they are only slightly discounted for HH while regular menu reasonably priced so not a big price difference. I tried the pear foam flounder wig plum truffle and rice pops... because who wouldn't from that description?! Really inventive and interesting flavors! I still love Uchi the most, hands down. But good option next time I'm in area. There's valet and free lot parking. Res easily made on OpenTable and host was very friendly. read more

I came on Thursday night. They're known for their $2 lychee martinis on Thursdays. I don't like the flavor of lychee lol so I skipped those and got a whiskey sour with an egg white. It was well balanced and tasty. We tried the Brussels sprouts, oyster trio and a hamachi sushi roll. The brisket sprouts were terribly greasy. Rather than whole or even halved it seemed they pulled the leaves off one by one Md fried them and then drenched them in suave. Skip this. The oyster trio came pre dressed and the flavors weren't my cup of tea so I'd prefer thy were plain but the oysters themselves were good and played beautifully with dry ice. The sushi was my favorite. We sat at the bar so bartender was our server. She wasn't very attentive and it took a lot to get her attention for everything we needed even when she wasn't busy making drinks. The ambience of the place is great. They have a live DJ that added to the vibe. You can valet out front for $10 or self park for free in the deck. I'd return to check out their happy hour menu. read more

First of all..this restaurant has some explaining to do!!! Explain to me how EVERYTHING I tried off of the menu was absolutely amazing...out of this world delicious...chefs kiss! OMG..I was highly impressed with my entire experience. Customer service, ambiance, food, drinks..the whole shebang! Koodos to them, because they did the darn thang! I could keep ranting about how great this place is, but I think I've said enough. Yall get the point. If you don't...RUUUUNNN, don't walk. Okay wait..five more words: "Happy Hour" Thank me later! read more

My boyfriend made a reservation for this place for my birthday a couple weeks ago. Parking was easy. You can do valet right out front, or park for free in the garage behind the restaurant which is just a very short walk away. We came at around 7 pm and were promptly seated. The restaurant is stunning. Great Friday night vibes with music blasting. We were seated towards the back of the restaurant which was nice because we were able to enjoy the music while still being able to talk. After sitting down we were not greeted for about 15-20 minutes. After this we had a waitress approach to let us know our server would be right with us. We didnt see anyone for 15 minutes after, so we flagged down the manager who was very apologetic and took our drink and appetizer order immediately. We started off with lychee martinis and an order of shishito peppers and brussels sprouts. This is my go to at any sushi restaurant. I like to start off with greens. Both dishes were great! We were fighting over the last shishito peppers on the plate LOL. After this our waiter finally came to our table and apologized sincerely. Its important to note that after his apology we received great service and he really tried to make up for it, and we really appreciated that. We shared a lot of dishes here but here are the ones that stood out for good and bad reasons: Spicy Yellowtail roll (3/5) - it was 70% avocado. Dont skimp out on the fish yall. Azumi roll - super fresh and flavorful. My favorite roll of the night. Kanpachi and hamachi pieces - very disappointed in these since I love yellowtail, but they had no flavor aside from the garnish on top. Chicken Kushiyaki - Ok so I normally would not order chicken at a sushi restaurant, but my boyfriend insisted on getting this and wow I am so glad. A nice crisp on the outside but tender on the inside on an aji amarillo sauce that was amazing. Get the chicken! They brought out a little dessert brownie for my birthday and it was very cute. I really appreciated it. Overall, I think this place was good. Best sushi in Houston? No. But I would come back for the vibes. read more

Went for their Happy Hour, which they have everyday from 3-6pm! And it's a great HH might I add. They offer food and drinks on it. From oysters to wings and more. I wanted to sit out on their patio since it was a beautiful day. Their larger patio area was packed, but the hostess said that we could sit on their smaller patio which was absolutely perfect for me! Way less people. The first staff came by to set our wet towels. Then the next staff came to take our drink orders. And then the 3rd was our server. I ordered their Lychee Martini which was good and a fan favorite. For food I got their wings, crispy calamari, grilled oysters, and spicy tuna crispy rice. Everything looked and tasted good! Absolutely no complaints! I definitely will be back for their Fiery Rockshrimp Roll and everything else on that HH menu that I couldn't get to this time! read more

Branded as a new, modern, elevated Japanese restaurant, Azumi opened in 2024 in the ritzy River Oaks area of Houston. My brother knows how much I love Happy Hour (HH) deals, so he suggested visiting Azumi before their happy hour ended at 6pm. The happy hour let us sample a variety of their dishes, and for the most part, the food was really great. My flight came in on time, and by the time we reached River Oaks, it was closer to 5:15. Azumi is one of the front spaces for the River Oaks District shopping center, with the parking being free (just needed to make sure you remember where you parked, since it's a big indoor multi-story garage). It was very humid outside, so was grateful we could find seats at the bar, since HH is only valid for outdoor patio and bar seating. The bartender was also our server, and he was a bit overwhelmed during our visit (especially since we ordered the majority of food on the HH menu). But he was pleasant enough with absolutely no attitude, which greatly helped. We ended up doing three sets of orders, all before 6 to get the right pricing. Miso Soup ($4) - a decent size bowl of rich miso soup, with plenty of seaweed and tofu, and served at the most enjoyable temperature. Eastern Oysters (raw or baked, $2 a piece, minimum 3) - ended up getting 15 raw, and 3 baked. I didn't like the mayo based sauce on the baked. But the raw was great, sweet and a decent size. It was served with a smoke effect produced by some dry ice in a small pitcher. Spicy Edamame ($4) - decent amount, but they were small. The spicy glaze on the shell was good. Crispy Rice Sushi ($2 a piece, minimum 3) - this was really good, with choice of spicy tuna (got 9 pieces) and truffle avocado (3 pieces). The crispiness of the bottom of the rice, with the tenderness of the fish made for great bites. Maki ($8 a roll, with choice of hamachi, spicy tuna, and sake (salmon)) - not particularly fat, but a decent amount of pieces. We got two of each. nigiri ($4 a piece, choice of tuna or salmon) - this was good, definitely prepared well using well-marbled pieces of tuna and salmon, with a well-seasoned rice base. We had some problems with the following not coming to us in a timely manner. The kitchen was backed up for the chicken wings, and the other items our server just forgot to place the order. It was rectified, and we ate them last, while we were getting pretty full. 6 piece chicken wings ($2 a piece) - these were some of the biggest chicken wings I've seen, and it was really well prepared, almost Korean style with the same glaze and very crispy skin. It's a steal at $2 a piece, and could be the base to fill you up. Gyoza ($8) - came with three pieces. Skippable. Tuna Lettuce Wraps - ($8) - another skippable item, just two small square of iceberg lettuce with a few cubes of good tuna in each. Calamari ($8) - this was good, well prepared with a very light outer matter, and cut into smaller pieces for tenderness. No tentacles to keep the greasiness down...good choice for squid lovers. I did get two HH drinks: Lychee Martini ($9), Two Moons ($9). So my suggestion for the happy hour: Use the chicken wings to fill up enough, then use the oysters and crispy rice sushi to satisfy your seafood cravings, ordering in waves. It wasn't too busy inside, which made the spotty, non-optimal service OK. The food did seem to be served as soon as it was prepared, so just need to eat it as soon as it is delivered. Pricing was correct the first time, and payment was a snap. And the dining environment was really elegant and refined. Definitely should be on the list of Houstonians (and visitors) who really like Japanese food in a classical environment. read more

Came here for lunch on Tuesday. You can't miss it as it's located at the front of River Oaks District. There's free parking in front, so no need to valet if you can snag a spot. To start off, we had edamame, miso soup and the yellowtail & serrano crudo. The miso soup was good, and I also really enjoyed the crudo. We ordered the kinoko maki, spicy yellowtail maki, four gunkan, chutoro nigiri, aburi sake nigiri, and seared engawa nigiri. I liked the kinoko maki, it's served with mayo on the side (my favorite condiment). Unfortunately, the spicy yellowtail maki has too much avocado. I'm not a fan of it when restaurants bring out all the nigiris out on one plate. You can tell that the seared engawa and aburi sake nigiris were sitting for a bit, so I couldn't say they were good, but it's decent... I liked the chutoro nigiri a lot, but it's always loved. The foie gunkan had to be my favorite piece, however, since it all came out on one plate, the seaweed softened a bit. The foie gunkan has a great texture profile with the rice crispies they added for a bit of crunch. I still highly recommend it. As for service, I was sat immediately. When coming here, definitely ask for either Sebastian or Duy for. They are very kind and will treat you well! read more

Came for HRW during happy hour, and had a great meal. Everything was tasty! We sat at the bar and I wish I remembered our bartender's name -- she was fantastic. I need to visit on a Thursday for the $2 lychee martinis. From the HH menu: we got the $4 spicy edamame (which was good, but not at all spicy to us), and $9 lychee martinis. From HRW: tuna ceviche (9/10), house salad (9/10), skirt steak (8.5), fried rice + chicken (8/10), Strawberry Namalaka which was like a strawberry cheesecake (9/10), gelato (7/10). read more

My finance's sister recommended this place and let me tell you she was right! This was one of my top 3 restaurants all year! We got the New Year's Eve special as well as the sweet corn and the fried rice with short rib. Both of the a la carte options were absolutely amazing and I would order again in a heartbeat. The New Year's Eve special was a fantastic value and everything on the five course menu tasted incredible. Our waitress was very nice and helpful and the manager, Taoufik, even came by and was incredibly nice. Would highly recommend and hope I can come back next time I'm in town! read more

This district has a good amount of foot traffic and a decent amount of food/drink choices to chose from. Azumi is front corner of when you turn into the area. Great for drop offs as the parking garage is right behind the center and easy to access. Coming into Azumi, you'll find a very elegant and decorative facility. It almost feels as if this place was built exclusively for evening time. We were seated next to the bar and tucked in the corner. The menu isn't as extensive as I thought but it still had an adequate amount of choices. The waiter was attentive at the beginning of our stay and took drink/entrees pretty quicky (Took a long time to bring our check at the end...) I ordered the sake and it came in a sniffer ($14) . That's a first for me as I sipped it through out my meal. Unfortunately the waiter took it away when i had half a sip left. Maybe I shoulda just finish it off or the waiter shoulda just left it there (It was rather dark, so maybe the waiter didn't see it) I ordered the chirashi bowl ($29) and it was very nicely set out with different color fishes, roe and decorative leaves to make this bowl eye popping. Delicious overall. The amount offered was decent too. For $29 it better be. Overall, this place is just OK. Perhaps its what I ordered, or the elevated pricing for just slightly above average food. You can find the same stuff for a better price elsewhere. Not saying Azumi didn't do a good job, but I expected more of an experience, rather than a transactional one. Azumi is a one and done. Nothing to write home about regarding the food. Beautiful place tho. read more

I went here for a fun little date night and overall had a good time. I liked that they had a little coloring page and crayons for kids and non alcoholic options for drinks as well. I got to try the matcha colada which was good but a bit sweet. The food overall was good but a touch over priced for what it was. I guess in that area it lives up to expectations. I tried the chirashi bowl and yakisoba, both were delicious and great tasting. I think the part that annoyed me the most was it took forever to finally get the check and close out. My daughter was definitely getting tired and we were waiting at least another 30 minutes before we could pay and get out the door. read more

This is in River Oaks Shopping Center- there is parking in the garage for the shopping center as well. Ambiance is nice, the lighting is great for dates and intimate gatherings. The sake list was extensive- we got simple hot sake carafe. The rolls were very tasty, good presentation. The choices for sashimi and nigiri were also good, there were A5 Wagyu and Texas short ribs as well! There is a sushi bar you can sit at to watch. Only thing lacking was service- it was hard to get a server to come take care of us. read more

An upscale sushi restaurant with beautiful decor, natural light, and excellent service. The sushi prices were expensive for the portion size. My friend and I went at 2pm and it was pretty empty. There were only two occupied tables before we sat down. Due to how slow they were, there was no one at the hostess stand. I had to go and find the hostess to be seated. Once seated we received hot towels to clean our hands and was served water. Our waiter was knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. The menu had several raw sushi items. Not very many cooked sushi choices. I ordered the spider roll and the spicy edamame. The presentation of the spider roll was elegant. Its flavor was decent. The spicy edamame was good. My friend ordered the flaming king crab which arrived with a fire presentation. It was good, but expensive ($34). Happy hour starts at 3pm and only qualifies if seated on the patio or bar area. So we had to move tables to take advantage of the happy hour menu. No sushi was on the happy hour menu. My friend ordered the wings and calamari from the happy hour menu. She said, both items were delicious. All waiters were efficient, friendly, and made sure we were well taken care of. Our water glasses were never empty and finished plates did sit long after completing. Around 4pm they dim the lights to transition to dinner. I would recommend this place if you are a raw sushi connoisseur who loves upscale dining, aesthetics, and prices. read more

I came on a Saturday night for a friend's birthday dinner. This is a very cute, upscale sushi restaurant near Highland Village. I ordered a lychee martini (which I heard are $2 Thursdays during happy hour). For the price I paid (like $18), it wasn't my favorite. We had an assortment of appetizers throughout the table that was pretty good. Overall, the food was pretty good. The service and ambiance were nice as well which added to the beautiful evening that we were having. I'd probably come back again during happy hour to try more options at a reasonable price. read more

This is my new favorite sushi spot. Right in the heart of River Oaks District Shopping Center. I came for their happy hour which is 3-6p weekdays. I tried the miso soup, spicy edamame, avocado roll & vegan maki roll all for a whopping $20. Totally worth it. They accidentally messed up my order because there's a veggie roll on the HH & a vegan roll on their main menu and they were so efficient with correcting it. The staff is all so kind and accommodating. I like the bar set up, very warm lighting and intimate but ample room for seating. It wasn't too busy around 5p but it was a Monday. Highly suggest coming here for a cute first date or very special occasion like birthday or anniversary. I would say it's more for the adult grown and older crowd but if you want to bring your family, they will definitely take care of you. read more

Very good Japanese restaurant! Sushi was extremely fresh and delicious. Me and my wife went around 8 pm on a Wednesday when it wasn't busy and the ambiance was amazing! Very relaxing aesthetic. Waiter was amazing and provided a ton of Information for every question I had. Prices were what you'd expect. We got a lot of items so it's hard to pinpoint everything but the highlight to me was the tuna flight! Every piece was DELICOUS! I will be back, thank you azumi for a wonderful date night. read more
