Worth the hype! My friends and I went for dinner on a Friday, so the restaurant was packed and had…read morea lively atmosphere. Despite it being busy, we got seated pretty quickly, and the service was excellent. Our server checked on us frequently, and she had great recommendations. They have an extensive menu, so there's lots to choose from. For nigiri, I really enjoyed the garlic ponzu salmon, garlic ponzu tuna, and umami oil salmon. I also loved the spicy salmon hand roll and ended up ordering it twice. Don't forget to ask about the secret menu! There were some great items that we got to try. I highly recommend Little Sakana for AYCE sushi, and I can't wait to come back with my family and friends.

The hand rolls are very balanced here with rice to fish ratios. I think the menu selection is…read moregreat, and they are super quick getting food out even when busy. The "secret" (not too secret) orders are also good, make sure to ask your server about those if they forget to mention it. I will say there was not anything too stand out to me, other than the variety. I think everything tasted about the way you would expect from an AYCE sushi spot in Houston but this one I did think was pricier for dinner than I would like since nothing stood out to me.

1. Service - our waitress was amazing. She was friendly, and she was always there to make sure we…read morewere doing ok. I'm proud that they have servers of this caliber at Asian restaurants in Houston, TX. Usually you see professional servers at upscale restaurants. There was a busboy there towards the end, and even he was super professional. Whoever the manager is at this location, you guys are doing an outstanding job training the staff here. Keep up the good work! 2. Price - about $15/bowl. 3. Ambiance - The decor here is beautiful. There are natural lighting from the front, with wood panels everywhere, lanterns hung high. They did a nice job decorating the place and you definitely feel as if you're in Japan somewhere. 4. Food - This is where this place shines compare to all the ramen places in Houston. They have the option of low sodium broth. I took one sip, and it felt like home cooked Ramen. I'm not talking about instant ramen that you buy from the store, but the ramen made from scratch. I often go to ramen places in Houston and I dread going because I know how salty they taste. There are 2 other locations I have in mind in Houston that are also my favorites. But I would say this is not bad compared to the bowl of ramen I had in Narita, Japan. If you're wondering what I've ordered, it was the CHICKEN RICH RAMEN and make sure to request for low sodium. 5. Cleanliness - Dining area is well kept, clean, and the busboy is on top of things. The restroom is questionable. The personal restroom doors are hard to close and lock. For management, have a look at the restrooms and see if you can improve things. SUMMARY: I would definitely come back. It is just THAT GOOD!

Between two people, we ordered: miso soup: as expected Chicken Combo Yakitori: 2 meats and one veggie, not bad salmon belly and salmon nigiri: amazing, Salmon was as expected, the salmon belly was better.

Eggplant Miso cheese: 5/5 would get this again. Same, pair this up with the mushroom miso cheese. 1 Spider roll/ 2 tempura roll hand rolls: as expected. Special house roll: I would pass. The others were much more memorable. Tai sushi: It was amazing, it was light, refreshing, and citrus all at the same time. I wish I ordered this first but I was soooo full, I was struggling at this point. Not pictured, Kisu sushi: It had a strong taste and a slight rubber skin texture. It was nice to try it but I don't need to again. Not pictured, ray fin jerky: Someone ordered this and was meh bout it. it was sweet. I think I was the only one who liked it. I would highly recommend the following; mushroom miso rice, eggplant miso cheese, salmon belly, tai sushi. These are must haves. Ray fin jerky is a maybe if you like sweet jerky or not, this dish was a hit or miss at the table. Our waitresses were amazing and very sweet. One seems to be fairly new but I think she will do well with more experiences as she gets the hang of handling large parties. Our table was stable, but because of the angle from the windows, the light kind of blinded one of our friends in the face. I would recommend stronger blinds for the front. I really liked the decorations. They were all sea shaped based, like a few of the lights were "waves". I thought they were cute. Amazing place, I'm excited to come back again to try their other dishes like barracuda and aji fry! Also, free parking out front!

I visited during lunchtime for the AYCE and it wasn't bad at all. I tend to lower my expectations…read morewhen it comes to AYCE and revolving sushi, but 25 Sushi House does it well. The selection is a bit more limited for lunch, but the price is lower than dinner as well. Being AYCE, I wouldn't expect the highest quality, type, and cut of fish, but what they had was pretty solid, tasted fresh, and was delicious. A minor complaint would be they had no sashimi option, even for the tamago which I personally believe is eaten best without rice, but that's just minor stuff considering the good value here. As much as I try to find a reason not to give this place an outstanding rating, if I compare it to the AYCE category of restaurants, it did everything right. They do have a regular a la carte menu, with a selection that looks like a treat in itself. As for me, I highly enjoyed their jalapeno bomb to start. I highly doubt they used snow crab, tasted like imitation crab, but I enjoyed it nevertheless and got another order at the end. I tried a few nigiri while I was here, with eel being my favorite (and thank goodness for no bones, which was lucky because it's eel). Their tacos were an unexpected standout and is worth a bite or two. Using sheets of nori and frying it to it holds up like a shell is pretty genius and more places need to do this. I had a good time with their Burning Alaska signature maki, which has salmon as the main star. The smokiness from torching was a killer! Their curry reminded me of S&B, which might very well be the mix they used. I was a bit disappointed to not see fish katsu as an option considered it's a sushi place, but I can see the katsu curry selection being a good option as a comfort dish. I wish I had the stomach space to try out new stuff, but maybe next time. Wish someone would post a photo of the salmon skin salad, because I'm a bit curious about that!

Food is amazing, we have been supporting them since their first ayce launch and have been going…read moreback regularly even after price increment + ayce menu reduction. We genuinely wanted to support them. Unfortunately we could not bring ourselves to continue supporting business where the owner does not have business ethics, or perhaps human decency?

If the owner decides to continue being rude and unprofessional to customers as well as treating customers like he is a social justice warrior all righteous and almighty, well good luck) Only if we knew sooner, by reading others' similar experiences/reviews as well as the owner responses to them with such rudeness and sarcasm, we could have prevented it from happening to us LOL

Food came out to the table and people could not remember what they ordered and the servers could not remember who ordered what. Some orders were combined which also confused things. There was a group that never got their sashimi.. for the most part I got everything I ordered except the masago, some people at the table did not receive all their items and had to repeatedly ask for their items. Then when it came time to pay the bill things got extra confusing. I feel like we had to repeat the process a couple of times before we were able to start paying. I just think they need to refine how they handle big groups.

Seaweed salad was good also. Vast selection of rolls. I do like their Starbuck and shaggy rolls a lot. They serve 4 pieces to a roll where as other competitors do 6-8. Also, both times I noticed that their rolls were coming apart, which is not too appealing. Nonetheless, the food is still pretty good and I do plan on visiting them again.
