    So, as promised I came by again for the lunch hour. However, this time was a bust. So the server did not hear me when I said I wanted the chicken karrage. So, she sent over the curry croquettes. I quickly told her that was not what I ordered in a nice way. She said ok, went to the register and placed the order for the karaage. She then proceeds to give the croquettes to the couple next to me for free y'all. The new server came on because it was her shift and handed me my receipt before asking me if I wanted anything else. I noticed that they had taken off the croquettes and so I was like ok, they were comping them. When I got to the counter, she proceeded to add the chicken karaage on to my bill. Seriously, I told her that the other girl just gave the croquettes to a couple. WOW!!! She just said, so sorry. Nope won't be back.

    I have went to the OG hando location before during their opening and ordered through the pandemic, and it was decent, so I wanted to try this location and give some support. ironic bc im giving them 3 stars, however I would come back so let me explain.... here's what we ordered: 5p hand roll set: spicy tuna, yellowtail, blue crab, fried oyster, shrimp katsu $29 -spicy tuna: tuna scallion, spicy miso/ taste like Louisiana hot sauce - and the hot sauce flavor overpowered the tuna, not compliment, barely taste any miso which is normally very umami -yellowtail: yellowtail, nigiri, green onion - when they opened this container - the room filled with fish smell - which was already off putting before eating it, it was fair -blue crab: blue crab, Japanese sp mayo, yuzu, tobiko, micro cilantro - this was decent and probably had the most protein of them all - would order again -fried oyster: panko fried oyster, bell pepper, green onion, micro-cilantro, yuzu, kasha aioli - had a fishy taste - could use another flavor compliment -shrimp katsu: panko fried shrimp, cucumber, katsu sauce - the shrimp batter was good, but could use some sp mayo soft shell crab - add on roll - was soft, and tasted undercooked I didn't like everything I ordered, I thought things could use more flavor compliments, the panko shrimp batter was good tho, until you got to the rice. and the extra piece of seaweed at the bottom gives extra chewing necessity. service was good, fully staffed. plenty of people doing take out orders. and also kanpai club - I would go back, but order different things, and don't worry - I will update to 5 stars

    Only got their takeout. The rolls were pretty good! Fish was fresh and tasty. Some reason I thought the rolls were going to be bigger based off pictures online.

    This place isn't affiliated with handie duoz but they're similar. They have a lunch special where you can select between 3 diff type of hand rolls. They bring you the next roll after you finish the roll you have. The same thing with drinks they don't give you any drinks until you finish it halfway through. The atmosphere is bar like style where you could be seated to someone. At the end you pay with the hostess. They also had a speakeasy(kenpai club) on the other side where you can order drinks and do karaoke. I tried multiple different drinks and they even put some of them in a cute glass. The server was very knowledgeable and helpful with the menu. My favorite 3 roll was the shellfish it was the most filling. I did try the classic 3 roll too. Honestly, you can't go wrong with either of them. The seaweed wrapper was crispy and not soggy, the rice warm and soft, and the fish just tasty. Love that the happy hour menu you can choose a "small plate" appetizer and then one of the 3 rolls. At the end they gave me a complimentary egg dessert like bite.

    After eating at the Heights location a few times I was excited to see that Hando had opened a Spring Branch spot closer to home. The restaurant is in a newly updated strip center on Longpoint nestled alongside other popular neighborhood eateries with plenty of public parking in the attached lot. Hando is a hand roll sushi restaurant that offers bar top seating and service usually makes your orders one at a time as you eat, so you can enjoy each piece of sushi freshly made. They have a couple of very popular happy hours, so be on the lookout for a deal if you can come early or time it right. The menu's main event is hand rolls (duh) along with crudo, skewers, and some small plate offerings. The hand rolls are a good size and you'd be plenty full after maybe 3-4 pieces and an appetizer. They have handroll sets on the menu where they offer a 3 roll, 4 roll, and 5 roll set at fixed prices which makes it easy to navigate different samplings. Service was super friendly and prompt. It's bar top service so help is never far away if you have a question or need something. Hando is a great way to get your sushi fix in if you're in the area and craving a roll or two.

    Was craving handrolls for dinner and decided to branch out of the usual Handies Duzo run and try a different handroll place. I got the 4 piece set for $25. To start, we got a spiel about the daily specials, but I didn't pay too much attention to this. It would've been more effective to have it on a white board, since I overheard the same speech maybe 4 different times given to the other patrons throughout the course of my meal. For the food: the handrolls were prepared a little too fast for my liking. I had barely finished my 1st roll when the 2nd was already ready, which caused the seaweed to be soggy when I ate it a few minutes later. This happened for the rest of the handrolls that came out - so overall, the timing was really off. The fish inside was decent, but with a tad fishy aroma. The fried oyster handroll was the only one that really stands out among the rest. I also got the ribeye skewers, and they were OK - not too tough to chew, but didn't really taste like it was freshly grilled or cooked. It was only just warm, which signifies to me that they had it out for a little bit before serving it to us. Nothing mind-blowing. The place was cute in a food-centric plaza, but I would not come back if I had another handroll craving.

    Tucked away in a new, clean strip mall with plenty of parking, this restaurant was easy to find and comfortable to visit. I appreciated that the air conditioning was set nice and cold, which made it pleasant to dine in. The interior had domed lighting with bar counter seating that gave it a modern feel. The setup is interesting--usually one person makes the rolls per group of customers, but if you're eating quickly, another staff member will swing by to help keep up with the pace. The food itself was decent, though nothing that really gave a big "wow" factor. One note of caution: skip the Wagyu meatballs. They were too dry and definitely not worth the price. Overall, a decent spot if you're in the area, but not necessarily one I'd go out of my way for.

    Hando has a pretty neat HH where they do a set meal for $25 everyday (?) 11-3pm and then another HH from 3-5pm(?) with $5 menu items. I came in to try the 3 roll set and a couple appetizers from the later HH menu. Honestly, I thought that everything was just okay. I was most excited for the blue crab HR, but it was honestly just super creamy and I couldn't really taste the crab. The appetizers were both good, crispy, and served hot, I just think it was, again, pretty average. I do want to try some other items like other hand rolls, the skewers, and other hot plates, so maybe my rating will improve the next visit. The service and staff were super friendly and our chef was pretty interactive through our experience. The restaurant is also super clean and I love the ambiance lighting from the bar and the music was on point!

    This place is great! It's a sit-at-the-bar and order hand rolls type place, so not good for little kids unless they can sit alone on a bar stool type seat, but I did see younger big kids eating in there w/ their parents. The food comes quickly & everything was great. The staff was also really friendly and accommodating. Everything you want in a neighborhood sushi spot. And for the adults, there's a cute little speakeasy in the back that feels like the Japanese underground. The drinks we had in there were really good.

    Had a gift card for Hando and decided to try it out since I was in the area for their spring branch location. This is my first time going to a hand roll restaurant and trying handrolls. I tried an uni bite, their limited time special rodeo hand roll, and the 3 piece handokase (spicy tuna, salmon, blue crab). The uni bite had a somewhat creamy texture but I didn't think it was anything crazy, probably wouldn't get again. The rodeo handroll was their special pork belly hand roll and it had a nice crisp, it was good but I prob wouldn't get again as I would focus more on the seafood ones. For the handokase, I really liked both the spicy tuna and blue crab ones. The salmon was good but nothing in special. These handrolls are actually a pretty decent size and I like how the seaweed comes off easily with each bite. At the end, they gave me a complimentary tamago and it was so good. It's pretty unique. Squishy, light, and sweet

    Made it to happy hour (3pm-6pm daily)! Long was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and made some great suggestions. There's a good amount of seating and we were able to walk-in and got seated right away without reservations. Started off with the Umeboshi Margarita (tasty and delicious and tangy). On the HH, we got the Takoyaki and the Squid Karagae (really enjoyed the aioli it came with and ended up dipping my handrolls in it). Ordered the 5-handroll set and it included Spicy Tuna*, Hamachi Poke, Blue Crab, Fried Oyster, Shrimp Katsu. The quality was pretty good of the fish and fried seafood was light and airy. Pricing is also quite comparable to other handroll spots in houston. I liked that none of them were avocado hand rolls within the set. I feel like that's a silly handroll to have. Water was always kept full and the rest of the staff were helpful and nice as well. Also attached is their speakeasy - Kanpai located in the back near the restrooms through the red door. Which they close at 2am on Fridays and Saturdays and serve drinks and late night bites. Parking - within the plaza

    Went here with the family. Was able to get a seat pretty quickly with 6 people in the party. We all ordered our food one by one. The hand rolls are made almost in front of you. Cooked food is made in the kitchen in the back. They serve you one hand roll at a time and make the next one once you finish your first one. To help space it out. The Brussels sprouts were crispy and had great flavor to them. The skewers (chicken and beef) were okay; it didn't come out hot off the grill; it felt like it was sitting on the table for 20 minutes because it was room temperature. The hand rolls were good and fresh but can add up since they don't really fill you up.

    Got takeout from here for lunch and it was super tasty! I ordered the chicken karage bento with a toro roll on the side and everything was super fresh and well packaged. The karage bento had chicken karage, rice, brussel sprouts, dumplings and a piece of castella cake. The karage had a light and savory batter, the dumplings had a cripsy sear, and the brussel sprouts were super tasty with what tasted like eel sauce and Japanese mayo on top! The castella cake was the perfect little sweet treat for the end of my meal. (8.5/10) The toro roll was also delicious and fresh despite getting it take out. Definitely as good as any other sushi place I've tried on bellaire Blvd. (7/10)

There's a variety of seating for whatever you prefer - picnic table, iron table, bar table, and cushioned patio lounge chairs. The servers checked in often and brought the drinks out.

They also have plenty of irish spirits available that are not Jameson (although that's available too).

Definitely give the wall a close look as there's probably something you haven't tried unless you frequent the place already. For food, they have plenty to choose from. Starter and shareables such as chips & queso, pretzels, flautas, or spinach & artichoke dip. For mains you can grab a salad or a guilty pleasure like burgers, wings, and chicken sandwiches. I've had plenty of the items and have never been disappointed. I definitely recommend the onion rings if you go with a sandwich meal. That's not to say the tots or fries are bad, it's just their onion rings are really on point. On Thursday they do ribeye night, so give it a go if you're looking for something a bit more substantial. Service - 4* I've found generally speaking the service is pretty good when ordering at the bar. They can get a little busy at times and slow, but never egregious. Everyone is quite friendly when you ask questions and looking for some recommendations. Cost - 4.25* Always subjective, for me, I find their pricing pretty good for an above average pint and burger. If I were to knock it a little, I think some of the larger brewers "easy drinking" lighter beers could carry a slightly less cost, or maybe run more "specials" to sell at volume with thinner margin. Just a suggestion. Overall, I've never been turned off by any of the pricing. It's definitely refreshing to support local brewers and a local bar more than going to some of the more corporate establishments that sit nearby. Overall - 4.5* Whether you live nearby or need a good meetup location for family and friends around the city, this is a spot I'd recommend to anyone seeking a laid back family atmosphere.
