We came here for a birthday and before I say my review I wanna say JOHNNY is hilarious and he made…read moreit worth the while . Now food wise im going to say 6/10 . The undone noodles had to be premade because they were so gummy . I never had Habachi without noodles being cooked on the grill . Every state is different but yeah they were gross.. no exaggeration. They melt before you chew My veggie Habachi was good 6/10.. I wouldn't go back though . Just not my favorite I had had in Houston . The group collectively said it was okay . The waiter was all over the place and I'm sure she was struggle because we had a big party. However a native who eats here all the time said this wasn't the best they had when they come here so the food was mid . Encourage anyone to try . We all taste different !!

I was very impressed by this busy sushi restaurant in Chinatown!…read more I found it after a quick Yelp search and decided to check it out with my sister. When we arrived close to 1pm, it was packed with every table taken by patrons. You place your order at the back counter, then claim a table. The employee was very helpful in giving us recommendations on the menu for dietary preferences. We decided on a Nemo roll, spicy salmon roll and spicy tuna roll. Thankfully, a table opened up right as we finished ordering so we grabbed it. Shortly after a server stopped by with our rolls! We helped ourselves to the bowls for soy sauce and chopsticks at the back of the restaurant. We were blown away at the generous fish portions here. The rolls were all so tasty and we especially enjoyed the Nemo roll - the fish was very fresh. We were pleasantly full by the end, and very happy! I would certainly come back here - I can see why it's so popular! Easy parking outside, fast service, reasonable prices and delicious, generous sushi!

Our quick and reasonably priced sushi place on Bellaire…read more Warning: Be sure to hide your stuff in your car where it isn't visible. Honestly, bring valuables with you inside. The parking lot is unfortunately very unsafe and highly prone for break ins. Rent a security is crap. When you walk in, the paper menu and pencil to place your order is right at the entrance on the table. Don't forget to grab! Then select your table. A few booths available on the left side. Large tables for families and community seating during peak times. So , be open to possibly sharing. Place your order at the window and pay. Cash and credit card accepted. Unlimited miso soup, corn soup, and red bean soup available. Love that! Grab your chopsticks and utensils. Napkins cubby located on the wall of the silverware station. The cubby Can be overlooked and has a sign requesting to please take what you need and not waste. I notice the popular for the older population first thing in the morning and a hit for the younger gen in the evening. We love the broiled squid, agedashi tofu, and gyoza. We love raw sushi our usual order is the salmon, tuna, and scallop sushi. Cuts are thick and generous. Basic roll of classic salmon and tuna. My kids love the shrimp tempura roll and hand roll. Iwa is straight to the point and simple which we love. Not into all the fancy and large menus. Expect classic options. Good cuts. We come here when we want to be quick. Highly recommend for a classic joint on Bellaire for sushi.

Food A+ Service A+…read moreAmbiance F The food was really good, service was really good. The space LOOKED good & seemed clean but it smelt HORRIBLE. Like a dirty mop. Idk of you've ever worked the service industry or cleaned RR, but that's a very distinct smell. (Imagine cleaning your bathroom with nice soap that smells good & someone urinates in the middle of that.) Not a good 1st impression. Stink & food don't mix. Stick & Hibatchi don't mix. My nose isn't usually sensitive, durian fruit in an asian mart don't even phase me but that did. They tried to air place out, but still you could smell it a little. Other wise it was nice; very spacious yet cozy so it could accommodate both big & small groups. I loved the different fish set ups & decor. The light up ceiling was my favorite!! I ordered the Bamboo & Hot Mama rolls, they were really good. I was full after that, they have really good tea too. I may come back if in area again to see if smell was just 1x offense.

This is a fantastic halal hibachi spot. The chefs put on a fun, lively show, and the food comes out…read morefresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. It's rare to find a fully halal hibachi grill, and Bonsai delivers with great service, generous portions, and a welcoming atmosphere. Definitely a go‑to for halal dining and a great hibachi experience.

We have come here twice and only because the cook is amazing!!!!! Food is wonderful. The cook was…read moreextremely nice and had no issue with fixing my order. He even wanted to make sure I liked it before he went back into the kitchen BUT . Both times we have been the "manager" has been extremely rude, unprofessional, and talked to us in an aggressively rude tone. It's absolutely absurd to go and want to have a nice dinner with my fiancée and to be treated so poorly. We will never be back due to the unbelievable behavior toward a customer. (I'm sure they're happy we don't come back because we actually speak up for ourselves) I didn't understand something on the menu and was trying to get her to understand what -- i -- was saying and she didn't want to hear what I had to say. Kept telling me to read the menu like I was an idiot. I can read what the menu was saying, but I was not understanding why the roll was half something half something else. She was very nice to anyone else that entered but she didn't want to respect us. Very upsetting to try to have a nice meal and end up like this. Then she didn't even want to come back to the table to serve us. She sent someone else lol. Always beware of the unprofessionalism this woman has. Or who know, she might be nice to you guys.

This place is sooooo worth it lol I promise this is not a paid review and I am a toughhhh critic…read more Firstly the food - 20/20 every SINGLE thing we had was amazing We ordered so much I can't remember all the names but the restaurant week menu was phenomenal seriously But the regular menu items were so great - I wasn't really expecting the food to be so amazing haha Also I like that it reminded me of BB butcher for whatever reason and I was told it ain't the same conceptual family so that's cool that you can feel it The service was AMAZING and so fast for them to be so busy - Alexis gave GREAT recommendations Needless to say I'll be back and back and back again and again and again

Kind of settled in the middle of nowhere in the heights, it's very unassuming from the outside…read more Gives off a warehouse, industrial feel especially in the way the ceiling looks on the inside. Quite an interesting Asian fusion menu. We set a reservation for 5:30 pm on a Tuesday night and it was fairly empty, only started to pick up around 7:30 when we left. We came primarily for HRW which both my parents and I participated in. With it being a $55 dinner option and a steakhouse, we had high expectations. - Appetizers: crispy tuna roll (the arare rice cracker topping felt a little stale, did not add the desired crispness and could have been left off altogether), grilled naan (server recommended the labneh for a savory taste but it was honestly more sour if anything), and chopped salad (plum dressing was a little too tart for my dad) - Entrees: wagyu skirt steak (a pretty small portion but tender and well seasoned, balanced well with the chili vinaigrette), prime burger (large and flavorful), & 8 oz fillet (mom asked for medium rare which the outer rim of the filet was perfectly done but the inside was much more red and chewy, not really cooked at all - I encouraged her to send it back to cook further but she insisted it was still edible) - Desserts: bread pudding (not sure if I like the black sesame ice cream, didn't really feel like it paired well and the bread pudding would have done just fine by itself), basque cheesecake (very airy), & coconut mango mousse cake (too light for my taste, was expecting more mousse than cake) Service was great - water was constantly refilled (even if it wasn't halfway empty), empty dishes were promptly removed, and new silverware was always provided. Our overall critique was that it was a little bit of a turnoff how our server was trying to upcharge on certain things such as adding toppings to the filet ($12 for a small scoop of truffle butter, are you kidding...) and pushing us to get additional sides with our entrees. Rating wise, I would give our experience a 7/10.

Loved my lunch set experience from Akiko!…read more I got the lunch combo that comes with miso soup, a sushi roll (Nemo roll +$0.99) , 5 pieces of nigiri and 6 pieces of sashimi. Everything tasted fresh, good portions and very yummy. It was pretty affordable too for only ~$24 (w/ tax). I would definitely come again. No complaints!

This is a great lunch spot for anyone looking for a quick lunch meal with friends or solo…read more I've been here twice and both times got the bento box to enjoy. I usually get sashimi which also comes with tempura and a soup and salad. The food is filling for lunch and I'd say I loved everything I've had. I'd love to come back during dinner to try also. It's great for groups cause booths can fit 4-5 people but probably not more than that. If you dine solo then there's a bar to sit at also. I don't remember seeing larger tables but maybe they have tables to push together for larger groups of 6+. Service is average, depending on who your server is. The first time our server left us alone but the 2nd time the server checked in with us 4 different times every time something was brought out which was nice. I'm still giving this a 5 star rating because both times I still had an enjoyable time.

This was a lovely meal and will come back.
